After breakfast, Cheng Baichuan went to the military hospital, while Li Wanqing took Nuonuo to the military service station.

When I arrived, Xiao Zhao was cleaning the counter with a feather duster.

Upon seeing Li Wanqing and Nuonuo, she immediately greeted them with a smile, "Sister-in-law, what are you looking to buy today?"

Li Wanqing shook her head. "I'm not buying anything today, but there's something I need to ask you."

"I expect to receive a call from you in the next couple of days, so could you please keep an eye out for it for me?"

Judging by the timeline, He Mei should receive her letter soon, and will definitely call her in the next couple of days.

The military region also has telephones, but most of them are only for internal communication.

The military region office's phone can make calls outside, but military dependents are not authorized to use it.

Therefore, in the military dependents' area, even ordinary soldiers make and receive phone calls at the military service station.

"Okay, I understand. I'll ask the colleague in charge of the telephones to keep an eye out."

As she spoke, Xiao Zhao took out a handful of candy from her pocket and stuffed it into Nuonuo's hand. "Nuonuo, be good and call me Auntie."

Li Wanqing stopped her hand, "No, she's been eating too much sugar lately."

These days at the performing arts troupe, the little one has become the darling of the group, with everyone giving her candy.

She didn't notice when she was busy, and only found out when she got home that the little guy's pockets were full of candy.

Due to insufficient nutrition and premature birth, Nuonuo's teething was slow. Now she is one year and four months old, and only her seventh and eighth teeth have started to come in.

She was worried that eating too much candy would be bad for the development of her baby teeth, so she put all the candy away.

"Then you keep it for her first, and give it to her when she's old enough to eat it." Xiao Zhao stuffed the candy directly into Li Wanqing's hand.

"Anyway, Xiao Wu delivered them, and I don't like sweets, so it's a waste to leave them."

Li Wanqing: ......

That blockhead Xiao Wu, what kind of gift is candy for a girl!

Are handkerchiefs not pretty enough? Or is face cream not fragrant enough?

Li Wanqing didn't want it at first, but just then someone came to buy something, and Xiao Zhao went to do something else, so she had no choice but to accept it.

"Mommy~ candy~ eat~" Nono blinked at her mother. Auntie didn't like it, but she loved it.

Li Wanqing tapped her nose. "Little glutton, you can't eat today, or your teeth will hurt."

Perhaps because her life in her previous life was too bitter, Nono has grown to like sweet things more and more.

Nono grinned and looked at her with a smile, "It doesn't hurt, Nono~ my teeth~ don't hurt."

[The candy was so sweet; she had never tasted anything like it in her past life.]

Li Wanqing's eyes flickered slightly as she raised her hand and gently rubbed her daughter's soft head.

"You can only eat one tooth every two days, and you also need to remember to brush your teeth carefully every day. Can you do that?"

Nono nodded quickly, her eyes lighting up.

Li Wanqing gently pinched her little nose and smiled helplessly.

The little guy is getting better and better at understanding her thoughts, always resorting to his sweet talk.

Fortunately, Nuonuo has always been quite sensible and doesn't cause trouble, so Li Wanqing isn't worried that she'll grow up to be a bad person.

The National Day performance is scheduled to be held in the military region's auditorium, but we cannot go in beforehand.

Since the children were off school today, Deng Hongmei gathered everyone at the performing arts troupe.

Make the most of the last bit of time and let Li Wanqing lead the children in one last rehearsal.

Qin Qianqian and another soldier did not come; besides the chorus, they had other performances.

Li Wanqing led the group in two rehearsals, and the children were in good spirits.

Around noon, Li Wanqing clapped her hands to draw the children's attention to her.

"Everyone did a great job. Keep it up, and we will definitely succeed."

"Do you have confidence?"

"Have!"

"Have!"

........

The children's spirited voices echoed in the room, and Deng Hongmei was so moved that tears almost streamed down her face.

"Sister-in-law, you're getting a little emotional too early. The performance hasn't even officially started yet," Li Wanqing teased.

Deng Hongmei raised her hand and rubbed her eyes, her voice becoming thick with a nasal tone.

"I never expected that a group of naughty kids would change so much in just a few days."

Li Wanqing smiled and said, "Kids are naturally mischievous, but when it comes to serious matters, they can be very earnest."

In fact, children are capable of doing many things well; it's the parents who are reluctant to let go.

"Yes, yes, yes!" Deng Hongmei laughed. "But luckily we have you. If it were anyone else, they might not have been able to control them."

Putting aside everything else, let's just talk about the eldest son of the Shao family.

He was a headache for teachers at school, but in Li Wanqing's hands, he was as obedient as a little lamb.

Li Wanqing was so embarrassed by the praise that she quickly changed the subject and started talking about her plans for the afternoon.

"Let the children rest more at noon, and come here at 2 pm to practice briefly with the troupe members."

"Eat dinner early, then go straight to the auditorium. Change into your performance costume before you go."

"I'll also go there early to help the children with some simple makeup."

Deng Hongmei wrote it all down. "Okay, I'll go door-to-door to inform them in a bit."

Li Wanqing opened her mouth, intending to say that the children could be informed about this matter.

However, seeing that Deng Hongmei looked a little nervous, I thought for a moment and didn't say anything.

When Li Wanqing brought Nuonuo home, Cheng Baichuan had already brought back all the food.

Nono was a little disappointed when she didn't see the braised pork she had been longing for.

Li Wanqing picked up a piece of hand-torn cabbage for her, and the little one's eyebrows furrowed so tightly they looked like knots.

"Nono, would you like to perform on stage like the older brothers and sisters?"

Nono nodded without hesitation, "Yes!"

I like singing and wearing makeup, so I must be very pretty.

In my past life, I was incredibly envious of those beautiful and healthy older women.

Li Wanqing paused, her heart aching as if it were being squeezed. They weren't giving her even the slightest chance to harden her heart!

Li Wanqing picked up another piece of meat, put it in Nuonuo's bowl, and then patted her head.

"In that case, Nono should behave."

"You need to eat meat and vegetables to ensure a balanced diet and grow up quickly."

Nono blinked at her mother, feeling that her mother looked like the nurse in the hospital who coaxed her to eat.

In her past life, she was rescued by her father, but the physical defects were irreversible.

Her father was often away from home, and that mean aunt bullied her.

Later, the wicked aunt was arrested, and her father was gone too, so she was sent to a sanatorium.

Although it was a bit lonely, the days in the nursing home were a rare period of peace for her.

However, she is happier now!

With her mother and father by her side, she will never have to worry about being sold by her grandmother again.

She has a healthy and complete body, and can do many, many things that she wanted to do in her past life but couldn't.

"Clap!"

The chopsticks in Li Wanqing's hand suddenly broke.

Not only was Nuonuo startled, but Cheng Baichuan was also taken aback.
