When Li Wanqing woke up, she didn't see Cheng Baichuan.

When I stumbled out of the house, I saw Cheng Baichuan with two children in the yard... practicing horse stance.

Seeing Li Wanqing come out, Cheng Baichuan's eyes darted around a little. He coughed lightly and explained, "Nuonuo is physically weak. I thought I'd let her exercise to improve her physical fitness."

Li Wanqing: ......

That makes sense, but... Nuonuo is only a little over a year old, isn't it a bit too early?

Besides, Yueyue is there too.

How come he's started training other people's kids?

Upon seeing her mother, Nuonuo pouted as if she was about to cry, making accusatory "ah ah" sounds.

[Dad's a devil, Mom's a help!]

Li Wanqing gently rubbed her forehead and led Nuonuo and Yueyue back into the house.

"Exercise should be done gradually, and I think I've reached my limit."

Cheng Baichuan touched his nose and didn't object. It seemed he hadn't yet figured out how to get along with his wife and daughter.

Just after breakfast, Xiao Wu arrived with five or six people.

Li Wanqing only found out after asking that Cheng Baichuan had asked them to help build a toilet in the yard.

"It's a bit far from the public restroom here, so building one would be more convenient," Cheng Baichuan explained without changing his expression.

Yesterday, he noticed that Li Wanqing had repeatedly lamented that the public toilet was too far away, so he simply built one in the yard, since the yard was big enough anyway.

Li Wanqing was very happy; having a toilet in the yard was so much more convenient.

"Battalion Commander Cheng is so thoughtful!" Li Wanqing praised.

...This woman...and there are so many people here too.

Cheng Baichuan's lips curled up slightly, and when he turned his head, he saw Xiao Wu and the others looking at him with surprise.

"What are you looking at? Start the operation immediately," Cheng Baichuan commanded, his face hardening.

......

The Black-Faced Impermanence is still the Black-Faced Impermanence. Even if we haven't disciplined them for two years, their deterrent power remains as strong as ever.

For easier cleaning, the toilet was not only paved with stone slabs, but also connected to a water pipe.

As for sewage disposal, all we have to do is dig a pit outside the courtyard wall and have someone come and clean it up periodically.

Fortunately, their courtyard is located on the edge of the residential area near the mountain, so this arrangement won't affect other families.

Houses in those days were built simply. A toilet could be built by five or six people in a morning.

"Sister-in-law, we'll be going now. Just let us know if anything comes up," Xiao Wu said, wiping his sweat.

"Wait!" Li Wanqing ran out of the kitchen. "You've worked hard all morning. Stay and have a meal before you leave."

Xiao Wu and the others refused to stay, but Cheng Baichuan spoke up and they finally stayed.

Li Wanqing didn't make things difficult for herself; she simply cooked a large pot of noodles and added some leftover pork offal to each bowl.

The processed pig offal had no fishy or foul smell at all, and with Li Wanqing's generous use of oil, it tasted incredibly delicious.

Everyone ate while praising how delicious Li Wanqing's cooking was!

"Sister-in-law's cooking is amazing! I never knew pig lungs could taste so good!"

"Yes, yes, and pig intestines too, they taste even better than meat."

......

Cheng Baichuan silently ate the noodles in his bowl, suddenly regretting keeping these kids around.

They've said all the nice things, leaving him no chance to show off at all!

Shao Wenzhao came by in a hurry, briefly explained the situation of the Liang family, and then left.

Feng Weiwei fell and gave birth prematurely to a daughter who was so thin it was heartbreaking.

Aunt Li stayed at the hospital to take care of the adults and children, while Yueyue would stay at the Cheng family's house for a couple more days.

Furthermore, Qin Qianqian had visited the Liang family before the incident, so everyone speculated that this matter was most likely related to her.

Li Wanqing raised her eyebrows slightly. She really couldn't understand what Qin Qianqian was thinking.

Why can't she just focus on being a pillar of her performing arts troupe? Why does she have to meddle in other people's family affairs?

Fortunately, no one was killed, otherwise Qin Qianqian would probably have been verbally abused to death.

Yueyue is a sensitive child. Since the Liang family hadn't shown up, she was listless.

Even with Nuonuo trying to ease the tension, she remained somewhat distracted.

Li Wanqing glanced at the yard, then looked at Liang Shuyue with feigned difficulty, "Yueyue, could you help your aunt tidy up the yard?"

Liang Shuyue's eyes lit up immediately, and she nodded like a chick pecking at rice.

“Okay, Yueyue will help Auntie.”

Seeing this, Nono, not to be outdone, stretched out her claws and eagerly asked to join in.

Without further ado, Li Wanqing and her two little children got to work in the yard.

Although Cheng Baichuan could do little, he still insisted on doing what he could along the way.

Li Wanqing planned out the entire courtyard, using the side closest to Nuonuo's house to plant some flowers and plants, and then building a grape trellis.

On the other side, the yard near the kitchen and toilet is being prepared to be cleared for planting some vegetables.

Four people couldn't produce the same amount of labor as two people. Although the results weren't remarkable, Yueyue's mood improved significantly.

Nono and Yueyue, the two best friends, still slept together at night.

After an afternoon of sharing joys and hardships, the two little ones were noticeably closer.

Before going to sleep, Yueyue hugged Li Wanqing's neck and whispered, "Auntie is so nice!"

She's even better than Mom. If Mom could be like Auntie, she would be the happiest child in the world!

Li Wanqing has absolutely no resistance to children, especially such a soft and gentle girl.

Thinking of the Liang family's situation, Li Wanqing could only sigh.

After putting the two children to sleep, Li Wanqing carried a basin of hot water into the house.

Cheng Baichuan knew exactly what she was going to do at a glance.

He thought Li Wanqing had given up because there was no massage last night.

He felt a mix of disappointment and relief.

"Actually, I'm much better now and can walk around a little, so massage is really unnecessary."

Li Wanqing glared at him. "Follow the doctor's orders! Understand?"

Looking at the clarity in her eyes, Cheng Baichuan sighed inwardly.

Is this woman genuinely unaware, or is she pretending not to know?

Li Wanqing didn't think that much about it; in her eyes, Cheng Baichuan was just a patient.

Following the doctor's instructions, Li Wanqing massaged all of Cheng Baichuan's limbs before going to sleep.

However, Li Wanqing was not as tired as yesterday, and she couldn't fall asleep for a while.

"Yueyue's mother probably won't be able to leave the hospital anytime soon. It would be best to check on her when we go to the military hospital for rehabilitation."

"Of course, Lao Liang and I were friends who risked our lives together."

"Then we'll bring Yueyue along."

Although the child didn't say it, he was still very worried about his mother.

Cheng Baichuan had no objections; since Lao Liang wasn't around, he would naturally help where he could.

The two chatted casually, but gradually Li Wanqing stopped responding.

Cheng Baichuan turned his head and saw that he was indeed asleep.

Cheng Baichuan was filled with mixed emotions, and he still felt somewhat dazed.

Even his closest relatives abandoned him at that time, so how did Li Wanqing have the courage to travel thousands of miles with her daughter to find him?
