Two generations of military wives compete for time

Ming Yuanhui was greatly encouraged after receiving the telegram. He excitedly ran more than 20,000 steps on the playground, sweating profusely. He went to the military bathhouse to take a hot bath, smiling from ear to ear. His comrades asked in confusion: "Chief of Staff, what's the good news? You look so happy." Ming Yuanhui waved his hand hurriedly and smiled without answering. He decided to go to the Xinhua Bookstore.

I ran to Xinhua Bookstore and asked the waiter, "Where can I find parenting books?" The waitress was a little surprised to see a man buying parenting books for the first time. She smiled and thought it was rare for a grown man to buy parenting books. Then she led him to the parenting books display area.

Ming Yuanhui took the selected parenting book and ran to the post office without stopping to mail it to Qian Yizhen. He also bought two parenting books for himself, preparing to learn how to be a good father.

Qian Yizhen was happy, but she thought, after ten months of pregnancy, there was still half a year before the birth. She was busy with work, so who would take care of the baby after it was born? My parents-in-law had never recognized me as a daughter-in-law, Qian's mother was a mental patient, and Qian's grandmother was even less reliable. She felt a little worried.

Qian Yizheng casually flipped through the calendar. The ninth day of the first lunar month was his grandfather's 70th birthday. After discussing with Qian Yiyun, he decided to go to his grandfather's house to celebrate his birthday.

Early in the morning on the ninth day of the first lunar month, Qian Yizheng sat in the driver's seat, and Qian Yiyun put their bags in the trunk. They first went to the cake shop to pick up the birthday cake that had been customized in advance, and then went to the delicatessen to buy four main dishes: braised beef, salted duck, roast chicken, and pork with preserved vegetables, and then went straight to their grandparents' house.

At 11 o'clock in the morning, sisters Qian Yizhen and Qian Yiyun knocked on the door of their grandparents' house. When Lu Kaipu and Chen Yalu saw Yizhen and Yiyun, their faces were filled with smiles.

After explaining the purpose of the visit, Grandpa Lu Kaipu was extremely excited. He had never celebrated his birthday properly since he was a child, because of the war, unrest, Yuanyuan's disappearance, and rescuing his grandchildren, so he had no time to celebrate his birthday. Now that Yuanyuan's condition has stabilized and his grandchildren have grown up, the old couple can finally relax.

When six dishes and a soup were served, Chen Kaipu couldn't help humming a little tune and took out a bottle of Beijing Erguotou, ready to drink and sing.

Qian Yizhen used tea instead of wine, raised the glass and asked grandpa: "Lian Po is old, can he still eat?" Chen Kaipu replied: "The old general is over 70 years old. He can eat, drink, and sleep. He is in good health!" Grandma watched the two of them bickering and clinking glasses with loving eyes, her face filled with a happy smile.

Qian Yiyun filled Grandpa's glass with wine, looked at him affectionately and said, "My dearest Grandpa, I wish you a long life. Happy 70th birthday!" Grandpa quickly said, "I don't deserve to live a hundred years, how about I plan to live another 10 years?" Hahaha! Laughter filled the ancient courtyard.

Qian Yizhen filled grandma Chen Yalu's glass with wine and held it to her with both hands: "My beautiful and lovely grandma, how are you in good health?" Chen Yalu replied: "I'm basically fine, very well." Chen Yalu picked up the wine glass and took a sip.

Qian Yizhen stood up and said to his grandparents solemnly: "I have a major engineering project that requires your participation. Do you dare to take on the challenge?" The two elders looked at Qian Yizhen in confusion.

Qian Yizhen touched her belly and continued, "I'm pregnant. This is your great-grandson, who will be born in about half a year. I solemnly invite grandpa and grandpa to join in the major project of taking care of the great-grandson. Please consider it carefully and accept the invitation unconditionally."

Lu Kaipu and Chen Yalu were very surprised. Chen Yalu quickly supported Qian Yizhen and said, "Be careful, don't move. You must always protect my great-grandson." Lu Kaipu and Chen Yalu smiled at each other and said in unison, "We will resolutely accept the challenge!"

Qian Yiyun was also very surprised. Her sister was going to be a mother. She felt both strange and excited. She recalled that a few years ago, when Qian Zuhui's two sons were born, she didn't feel anything at all. It was like someone else's family giving birth to a child and it had nothing to do with her.

Qian Yiyun was a little confused as to why he had such different feelings.

After bidding farewell to her grandparents, Qian Yiyun carefully protected her sister along the way, always fearing that something might go wrong. Qian Yiyun decided to sign up for a driver's license and improve her learning efficiency, so that she could spend more time taking care of her pregnant sister.
