As the day for Qi Xiaoqi’s full-month banquet approaches, Cheng Su, being soone who plans things well, calls back ho again to ask how many people are coming. This way, Qi Taiguo can book the rooms at the guesthouse in advance. Otherwise, if it exceeds their budget and more people co without enough places to stay, it wouldn’t be nice.
"You’re becoming more and more thorough in your work. Even our dad praised you!" Qi Taiguo said, satisfied, as he hugged his wife and laughed.
Cheng Su said proudly, "I’ve always been thorough."
Qi Taiguo laughed, gently pinching her cheek, saying, "Look at you, your nose is going all the way up, just like a pig’s nose!"
"How dare you call a pig! Take this!" Cheng Su pinched him as they playfully tangled together.
Qi Xiaoqi, lying at the foot of the bed, stared at the ceiling: Truly childish.
After the couple played around for a while, Qi Xiaoqi made a strange noise. It wasn’t that he wanted to interrupt his parents’ antics, but his stomach was truly hungry.
Cheng Su picked up her son, checked him over first, since he neither wet nor dirtied himself, then lifted her clothes to feed him. Qi Taiguo watched with a hungry expression, his eyes full of envy and jealousy.
Qi Xiaoqi noticed and sucked with even more vigor.
Qi Taiguo couldn’t help but feel envious.
Cheng Su said, "The journey is too far, so not many are coming from ho. Just my dad, your mom and dad, your second aunt, and Jianming’s wife will co."
Qi Jianming’s current wife is no longer the Taozi that Cheng Su once t. He has changed to soone else, seemingly nad Xiao Fen, who is currently pregnant and returned ho to nurture the pregnancy until delivery.
"Don’t worry, I’ll book the rooms at the guesthouse soon," Qi Taiguo replied.
Cheng Su nodded, saying, "Luckily, not many are coming this ti. Otherwise, it would be hectic to manage, especially since it’s far."
There aren’t that many relatives back ho, but not particularly few either. If they were to host a banquet back ho, there’d surely be ten or twenty tables, as was the case when Qi Jianguo got into university.
Cheng Su thought about Qi Fenglian and ntioned her.
"Huh, why didn’t you tell earlier?" Qi Taiguo was quite concerned about his eldest sister.
Cheng Su chided, "You’ve been busy these days, sotis even at work during shifts. I and our son rarely even see you. How was I supposed to say anything?"
Hearing this, Qi Taiguo apologetically said, "There’s been a lot going on in the troops recently. Soon it’ll be Mid-Autumn, and preparations for holiday readiness need to be arranged too."
Cheng Su curiously asked, "There were holidays before, but you didn’t seem this busy?"
Qi Taiguo explained, "Chief Ning got promoted, and the regint commander seems to favor too. He’ll be promoted to commissar early next year, so while there’s ti, he’s probably giving so extra training."
He spoke casually, but Cheng Su caught the hint: "Could it be that you’re getting promoted?"
Qi Taiguo remained calm, saying, "There’s no such intention yet. I only got promoted to this position less than two years ago. But with the previous military achievents at hand, if I improve my capabilities, getting promoted will only be a matter of ti."
Cheng Su was overjoyed. Many people spend their entire lives stuck at the company commander level. Although her husband hasn’t been promoted yet, having the opportunity is already a big step ahead.
"This is just a thought, don’t go telling anyone," Qi Taiguo reminded her.
Cheng Su teased him, "Do you think I’m daft from pregnancy for three years? I wouldn’t say anything about sothing that hasn’t happened yet." She’s not one to act without certainties—if it doesn’t happen, people might laugh—and then she laughed, "Seems like Xiao Qi is lucky for you."
"You guys are all lucky for ," Qi Taiguo laughed, flattering her.
He was just saying it, knowing her cautious nature. Then he asked about his sister’s second chance at romance.
