Quick Transmigration: The Green Tea Mistress's Guide to Seduction - A Master's Handbook

However, Song Qin clearly insisted that this was good luck brought by Tuanzi, and that she would let the child recognize Tuanzi as his godbrother after the child was born.

"Today is truly a double celebration." Song Qin was even happier now.

"Yes, you're pregnant now, so you need to be more mature. Let your husband do the chores around the house," Xie Qingyu teased with a smile.

“Of course, this is his child too,” Song Qin replied matter-of-factly.

"Oh dear, I got so caught up in talking about it that I forgot the time. I have to go now, otherwise I'll be a third wheel when Deputy Commander Nie comes back." Song Qin jokingly replied with a smile.

"He's gone on a mission and won't be back today," Xie Qingyu said.

"Then I'm not in a hurry." Song Qin had already stood up, but sat down again after hearing Xie Qingyu's words.

She was happiest that Nie Shenyuan wasn't coming back.

"If he doesn't come back, your husband should be back by now. He won't come to me demanding your return if he can't find you, will he?" Xie Qingyu raised an eyebrow.

"I haven't told him the good news yet!" Song Qin suddenly remembered that she had come straight to Xie Qingyu's place as soon as she got back this afternoon, and the things she brought from home were still on the table.

"What good news?" A voice came from the courtyard gate; it was Song Qin's husband.

He looked very upright and composed. After speaking, he nodded to Xie Qingyu as a greeting, then turned his gaze back to Song Qin, "What news?"

He walked a few steps to Song Qin, who immediately became somewhat spoiled.

"It's nothing, I'll tell you when we get back." Song Qin suddenly stood up. "Why did you come here?"

“When I got home, no one was there. I had already prepared the meal, but you still hadn’t returned. I figured you should be here, so I came to look for you,” he explained.

This clearly shows that they also understand Song Qin.

Song Qin smiled somewhat guiltily, having lost track of time while talking to Xie Qingyu, and said, "Then I'll be going now."

Song Qin said goodbye to Xie Qingyu, and didn't forget to say goodbye to Tuanzi before happily leaving.

These two people have completely different personalities, but surprisingly they are a good match.

After seeing Song Qin off, Xie Qingyu looked at Tuanzi, made him some malted milk powder, and boiled some eggs.

She doesn't have much of an appetite, so she's too lazy to cook.

The days seemed to pass slowly when Nie Shenyuan was away from home.

Xie Qingyu finished making all the clothes for Tuanzi these past few days, and used the remaining fabric to make several pairs of underwear for Nie Shenyuan.

She also asked someone to bring back some meat along with Song Qin, and she rendered it into lard. The remaining cracklings could be preserved for a while.

The vegetables I planted have grown quite a bit. I run to the field every day and watch the leaves change every day, which makes me feel the passage of time.

Tuanzi has made great progress recently, probably because Xie Qingyu has time to guide him to speak every day, and Song Qin also teases him from time to time. Now he can speak short sentences.

However, his serious demeanor when he speaks is quite endearing.

When Xie Qingyu went to fetch water, Tuanzi would follow with his lunchbox, always asking Xie Qingyu to fill his lunchbox with water as well.

Many people praised him for being sensible, saying that he knows how to care for Xie Qingyu at such a young age.

Meanwhile, someone else came looking for Xie Qingyu.

The matter of arranging a job for Xie Qingyu, which I mentioned last time, is showing some progress.

However, there are too many military spouses in this family compound, and most of them want a position, so we can't just give it to Xie Qingyu so obviously; we need to do some selection.

The job offers are different now. One option is to build a school here in the fall so that the children of military personnel can attend school.

They still have to go to the school in this brigade to study.

We can get Xie Qingyu to be a teacher then.

Another option is a position in the military, similar to a scribe, which requires frequently attending meetings.

Both jobs were based on Xie Qingyu's abilities; she is cultured, knowledgeable, and writes well.

The other side means it depends on Xie Qingyu's choice.

The scribe position can be arranged soon, but the teacher position will take some time and will require a selection process.

Xie Qingyu only said that she needed some time to think about it and would also wait for Nie Shenyuan to come back and discuss it.

However, this is just a pretext; if the selection is made too quickly, the other side might be more casual.

Her first choice was naturally to become a teacher.

If the scribe and Nie Shenyuan are both in the army in the future, it's not very suitable. There will be some restrictions, and they won't be able to do many things.

Of course, we won't talk about these things now.

Xie Qingyu's explanation was that she wanted to discuss it with Nie Shenyuan after he returned.

It's been more than half a month since Nie Shenyuan left.

It's been raining these past few days, and Tuanzi hasn't been feeling well.

When he first started coughing, Xie Qingyu went out and found some simple herbs, boiled them in water, and gave them to him to drink.

Even so, he still had a fever at night. Although it wasn't serious, it was still worrying. Xie Qingyu stayed up until midnight to make sure Tuanzi's temperature had stabilized before she could fall asleep.

Because she went to bed late the night before, Xie Qingyu couldn't get up the next morning.

Tuanzi didn't sleep well because she wasn't feeling well, and she didn't get up today either.

So the first problem Nie Shenyuan encountered after his long journey home was that he couldn't get into his house.

The courtyard gate closed from the inside. Nie Shenyuan pushed it once but couldn't budge it, so he knocked twice.

When no one came to open the door, he started to panic.

Nie Shenyuan didn't care about anything else at this moment. He grabbed the top of the wall, kicked it up, and then landed neatly in the yard.

........

But the door to the main room was not open.

Nie Shenyuan paused for a moment, then went to the window.

Fortunately, the windows were still open in the summer, and he could see Xie Qingyu and Tuanzi sleeping inside from the window.

He flipped over with one hand and landed without making a sound.

When they tiptoed to the bedside, they saw Xie Qingyu fast asleep.

Tuanzi must have heard some noise, because she rubbed her eyes and woke up to find Nie Shenyuan standing by the bed.

Although Nie Shenyuan had never taken care of a child before, he could guess what was going on by looking at the basin and towel placed by the bed.

He made a 'shh' gesture at Tuanzi.

Tuanzi looked at Xie Qingyu and obediently reached out for Nie Shenyuan to carry him down.

After taking Tuanzi out to wash up, Nie Shenyuan steamed some egg custard for him and told him to eat and play outside without disturbing Xie Qingyu's sleep.

Tuanzi is very obedient.

Nie Shenyuan cooked some more food and left some for Xie Qingyu before going into the inner room.

He's been back for so long, and he even cooked dinner, but Xie Qingyu is still asleep. It's clear how tired he was last night.

Nie Shenyuan stood by the bed, and Xie Qingyu on the bed finally made a slight movement.

"You're back?" Xie Qingyu, still a little groggy from just waking up, reached out to hug him.
