Wealthy Beauty in the 60s

At noon, Xia Xiao had brown sugar eggs cooked by Zheng Xianghong, along with ginger wine chicken soup. Because she was extremely hungry, her appetite was robust, and she ate her fill.

Zheng Xianghong said, "Try to breastfeed the baby."

"Is there already milk?" Xia Xiao was also eager to try. In fact, when she had just seen Zheng Xianghong and Xia Jing carrying the baby out to feed him water, she had been wondering when she could breastfeed and when the milk would come.

"There is, but you need to have the baby suckle for milk to come," Zheng Xianghong explained as she taught Xia Xiao how to hold the baby.

Although the baby had just drunk some water, Zheng Xianghong had clearly not fed him much, so now he was crying again, unable to draw any milk, and broke into an even louder cry.

"Mom, it’s not working," Xia Xiao, now sweating from anxiety, said.

"It will work, the baby has to suckle to get the milk through," said Zheng Xianghong, and then she looked at Gao Jiaxing and added, "Then the baby will be able to get some milk."

Xia Xiao’s face grew hot, and Gao Jiaxing was also a bit embarrassed. Zheng Xianghong said, "What’s there to be embarrassed about? The child is already born, hurry up; don’t starve my grandson. I’ll go out and close your door for you."

Wah wah wah, now both babies started crying at once.

Once the flow was established, the babies could eat. So Gao Jiaxing and Xia Xiao calmly watched both babies breastfeed. The first one was nursing, when the second got hungry and naturally started crying.

Xia Xiao thought about letting the first baby eat a few mouthfuls, then switching to the second one for his turn. But it was obvious that the grandmother was not willing to do this; as soon as one baby was unlatched, he started crying loudly.

One baby crying was enough, but with both crying at once, it was a cacophony that pierced the ears.

Gao Jiaxing could only awkwardly hold and let the second baby suckle on the other side, his posture rigid and daring not to move. As the babies suckled happily, Gao Jiaxing and Xia Xiao exchanged a look, speechless. Yet, seeing how both were equally flustered, they shared a smile.

By this time, Zheng Xianghong had already closed the door, leaving the new parents Gao Jiaxing and Xia Xiao to struggle on their own. By the time the babies were fed and had their diapers changed, both of them were sweating heavily.

After laying the babies down, Jiaxing wiped off his sweat and, using a cloth, dabbed away Xia Xiao’s sweat, saying, "I feel like taking care of a baby is even harder than training."

Xia Xiao gave him a glance and said, "You have it easy, you might not be back until next year. I have to take care of them continuously."

"My dear, you’ve worked hard. Come here for a hug," Gao Jiaxing said, eager to embrace Xia Xiao in his arms.

Xia Xiao protested, "No, it’s too hot. I’m sweating all over."

As she spoke, Xia Xiao began to grumble, "I heard that during postpartum recovery, I can’t bathe, can’t be exposed to drafts, and can’t touch cold water for a month, otherwise I’ll suffer from rheumatism and aching bones in the future."

"Then we’ll just have to endure it for a month," Gao Jiaxing said, "A month will pass quickly."

"Easy for you to say, I already feel sticky all over. With that smell, I can’t bear the thought of enduring for a month. I’ll probably have lice in my hair and layers of filth on my body."

As soon as Xia Xiao finished speaking, Gao Jiaxing burst out laughing, "It’s not that exaggerated. Everyone goes through this. Just endure for a month and it will be over. It’s good for your health this way."

Xia Xiao sighed. She was already uncomfortable all over, and the thought of enduring for a month was daunting. She didn’t know how she would make it through.

Gao Jiaxing stroked Xia Xiao’s head and said, "Be good, listen to me. My mom has been there and knows some medicine. Following her advice is right. Don’t be too hard on your own body, otherwise, you’ll suffer in the future."

Xia Xiao nodded helplessly and said to Gao Jiaxing, "Brother Gao, childbirth is terrifying and painful. The pain is indescribable. We already have two sons, maybe we should stop there?"

Remembering last night, Xia Xiao was still shaken. She really didn’t want to experience that pain again.

Gao Jiaxing’s face reflected his inner conflict, but then he nodded at Xia Xiao, "Even though I would like a daughter, I don’t want any risk to you. Having two sons is enough for us."

"Brother Gao is so good," Xia Xiao smiled.

"Xiaoxiao, you’re also very good. Marrying you is my fortune," Gao Jiaxing couldn’t help but pull Xia Xiao into his embrace again.

Xia Xiao didn’t resist this time. Nestled in Gao Jiaxing’s arms, she felt very secure. Moreover, thinking about his imminent departure made her somewhat reluctant to let him go, but it wasn’t easy for him to find time to come to see her and the kids.

At that moment, Xia Xiao looked up at Gao Jiaxing, who had darkened considerably but had also become more determined and valiant.

"Brother Gao, I think you’re getting more and more handsome, and the more I look, the better you look," Xia Xiao couldn’t resist saying.

Gao Jiaxing grinned, "I’ve always been handsome, you just didn’t appreciate it before."

Xia Xiao’s lips twitched, could he not be modest for once?

Xia Xiao shook her head, "Don’t, I haven’t brushed my teeth, and I smell."

"I don’t mind," Gao Jiaxing said. "Xiaoxiao, your scent is always fragrant. If you don’t believe me, smell for yourself."

The couple chatted for a while before Xia Xiao went back to sleep. Gao Jiaxing watched as the mother and children all fell asleep, then went out to greet a few comrades.

He was leaving the next day, so they wouldn’t stay long. At that time, Gao Jiaxing led them out for a walk.

It must be said, a group of soldiers strolling around the production team did catch the attention of several women.

Xia Xiao didn’t speak. She was more concerned with her own little home, thinking about how to reunite and do what’s best for her family. She wasn’t so noble.

With a gentle caress on Xia Xiao’s back, Gao Jiaxing said, "I am a soldier, and you are my Military Wife. If we live happily, Xiaoxiao, you are a good Military Wife." He continued, "I don’t even know how to be a good husband, but I will strive to be good to you and the children. If you think I’m doing something wrong, please tell me, and I’ll try to correct it."
