I relied on my heart to play badly in front of my husband, an officer.

As for Xu Rao's husband Xie Jiang, after several days of investigation, his guilt was confirmed. Although it was not very serious, it was not to be tolerated.

However, because he had won several first-class merits and one special merit in his early years, after discussion, his merits and demerits were offset and he was allowed to retire from the army early.

After learning of the result, Xu Rao was ready to divorce him.

Fortunately, she was not implicated and expelled from the army. Although she could no longer live in the family compound, fortunately she did not lose her job.

As long as she has a job, everything will be fine. If she can't live in the staff housing complex, she can still live in the school dormitory.

When everything settled down, spring arrived.

Wang Yan's child was born.

On her day off, Bai Youyou would bring eggs and sugar bought from the supply and marketing cooperative, and go to Hao Jiajia's house to visit her children together with her.

It was her husband, Brother Wang, who opened the door for them. When he saw it was them, he was very enthusiastic.

"Hey, why are you all here today? Did you make an appointment in advance? Ke Yu came right after you two, so you all gathered together."

"Ke Yu is here too? That's great. Brother Wang, you've treated us all at once." Bai Youyou was also happy.

Their voices were heard by Ke Yu and Wang Yan who were in the room.

Ke Yu poked his head out of the room and said, "Hey! You're here too, come in quickly, Sister Yan and I were just talking about you! I didn't expect you to come."

"Oh! What are you saying about us? You are not saying anything bad about us!" The two of them walked into the room with a smile.

The two entered the room and looked at the chubby little guy sleeping soundly on the bed.

As soon as Hao Jiajia saw the child, she praised him: "Ah! Sister Yan, your child looks so cute, so fair and clean. You can tell at a glance that he will be a handsome boy in the future."

Bai Youyou also agreed: "That's right, I think! Like you, Sister Yan, you can be a handsome guy at first glance."

Wang Yan was also amused by their comments about the children. "You teachers are really good at talking. Thank you so much for coming to see the children."

Bai Youyou smiled and said, "Sister Yan, what you said is wrong. How can you say we can speak? You are such a handsome child. You will definitely be a smart kid in the future. You should agree with this!"

Wang Yan smiled until her eyes narrowed into slits. "I agree, I agree. You're all right. When he grows up, I'll let you aunts teach him."

"That's definitely no problem! We promise to teach your child to be obedient." Hao Jiajia patted her chest and promised.

"Don't drag me into this! I don't teach little boys! If I want to teach, I'll teach my future niece. So Sister Yan, you and Brother Wang have to work hard to give me another niece!"

"Youyou, you can't be partial. I like my little niece too. Didn't I urge you to give birth to one for us? I'm still waiting for you to give birth to a little niece for all of us!" Hao Jiajia took over the conversation and teased Bai Youyou.

Ke Yu joked, "Yeah, Youyou, when will you give us a daughter to play with?"

You and Captain Sheng are both so good-looking, so your children will probably be very good-looking too!"

Bai Youyou's face flushed instantly, and she scolded, "Ke Yu, what are you talking about? It's still too early!

Why don’t you tell us that you will give birth to a daughter for all of us? We are all waiting for you.”

"Hey! I didn't say I won't have a baby. I'm actively trying to have a baby with my husband! It won't be long before you see your little niece.

You must prepare gifts when the time comes." Ke Yu was not afraid of their laughter at all and patted her belly.

Everyone laughed when they heard it.

"That's great! As long as you give birth to a little niece for me, I will definitely give her a big red envelope and teach her to the best of my ability."

"Then this child will be blessed in the future."

While everyone was chatting and laughing, the child on the bed suddenly started to whimper and cry, as if he was about to wake up.

Wang Yan hurried over to check, gently picked up the child and coaxed him.

Brother Wang also heard the child crying and pushed the door open.

Looking at Brother Wang who came in, he took the child from Wang Yan's hands and changed the child's diaper very skillfully.

Bai Youyou, who had been watching his movements from the side, seemed to remember something and said to Brother Wang, "Brother Wang, now that we have a child, the family expenses have increased. You have to work harder."

Brother Wang scratched his head and said with a silly smile: "Of course, I will definitely make sure that they live a good life, so you can rest assured!"

At this moment, Ke Yu suddenly slapped his head and said, "Oh, I was so busy joking that I almost forgot something important."

Everyone looked at her curiously, and she continued, "Our factory has a few vacancies recently. We can recommend workers to learn new skills. After they return, their wages will increase significantly.

If you know anyone with strong business skills, you can come and try your luck at our factory."

Brother Wang's eyes lit up. "Really? That's great. But isn't the competition fierce?"

Ke Yu nodded, "Indeed, but if you have real skills, there is nothing to be afraid of. As long as you prepare the materials well and apply, you will have great hope.

"Brother Wang, do you know someone in this field? Then you must ask him to report to our factory in the next few days, otherwise the opportunity will be missed."

"Hey! Why don't you go and try it." Bai Youyou pushed Ke Yu and said.

"Youyou, you really think highly of me. I know my own worth, so I won't join in the fun.

Besides, they want male technicians. How can I, a woman, compete for them? If they want a woman, I will give it a try no matter what.

As for whether or not you can pass the exam, we’ll decide after we try.”

"Hey, is this the Ke Yu I know? The Ke Yu who seizes every opportunity."

On the other side, Brother Wang pondered for a moment and said, "I think of a person, Lao Chen, who used to be in the same battalion with me. After he retired due to injury, he worked as a technician in a cotton mill. His skills were quite good, but he never had any chance to move up.

I want him to try it out, but I need to tell him right away, when is the registration deadline for your factory, Ke Yu?

Ke Yu hurriedly told Brother Wang the factory address and the registration deadline.

After Brother Wang handed the child to Wang Yan, he said something to her and hurried away to find someone.

After he left, everyone in the room chatted for a while about topics like parenting.

Bai Youyou saw that it was almost time, so she said she wanted to go home and prepare lessons for the children.

Hao Jiajia also stood up and said goodbye.

Ke Yu thought he also had things to do, so he left as well.

Wang Yan stood at the door holding her child to see them off, her face filled with happiness.

Bai Youyou and the other two were walking on the road, still talking about the topic just now.

Suddenly, Hao Jiajia sighed and said, "Look how happy Wang Yan is now. We should also seize the day and live our own lives well."

Bai Youyou and Ke Yu smiled at each other and nodded.

When they reached a fork in the road, the three of them went in their respective directions.

Bai Youyou walked while silently planning her future life in her mind. The sun shone on her body, and she was full of anticipation for a new life.
