Chapter 1291 My Mom's Mind Isn't Clear
The woman acted as if she hadn't seen Huo Jingrui's darkening face: "My son is a soldier under Commander Huo, surely he won't even help with something this small?"

Just then, two people came in from outside the gate: "Commander, here's the drying rack you ordered. Where should we put it?"

Huo Jingrui pointed them in a direction: "Just put it over there."

There used to be a drying line in the yard, but the triplets had to dry a lot of diapers every day in addition to changing their clothes. Sometimes they washed them late and they couldn't dry them before dark. Aunt Su said that the children's clothes and diapers had to be brought back inside before dark. If there were only a few, it would be fine, but sometimes there were so many that there was really no place to put them.

Huo Jingrui thought of making two drying racks so that he could take the clothes out during the day and bring them back inside at night if they weren't completely dry.

Seeing that the commander looked unhappy, the two put down their clothes and prepared to make a quick getaway.

Huo Jingrui spoke first: "Wang Aiming, go and call Company Commander Hao over. Tell him I need to talk to him."

Huo Jingrui looked at another soldier: "Lian Quanping, can you help me find Sister Tian?"

After responding, the two quickly left the courtyard.

The woman had just arrived at the army and had no idea who Sister Tian was. Right now, she was only thinking about borrowing milk for her nephew: "Commander Huo, now that you've finished this matter, shouldn't you tell your wife?"

As he spoke, he peered into the house and tried to step inside.

Huo Jingrui was not about to give in to her wishes: "Let's wait until your son comes over before we talk about it."

"Even if you use the excuse of breastfeeding to call your wife, it's useless to ask him to come. Even if he comes, he can't help."

There was nothing wrong with what he said, but Huo Jingrui's face darkened even more.

Hao Qingfeng ran in. He was training when he heard that his mother had taken the child of her so-called distant cousin to the regimental commander's house. He had a bad feeling.

As soon as he entered, he saw the regimental commander with a stern face. He didn't care about anything else and asked, "Mom, what are you doing at the regimental commander's house?" When the woman saw her son, she smiled and said, "Your cousin was exhausted from the journey and didn't have any milk. The dog was crying at home because it was hungry, so I had to come out and ask around in this compound to find out who had given birth so that the dog could have an excuse to drink milk."

The child was listless, leaning on the woman's shoulder, and didn't make a fuss this time.

Hearing his mother's words and seeing the commander's icy gaze, he felt like dying: "Mom, you're being ridiculous. The commander's wife gave birth to triplets. She doesn't even have enough breast milk for her own children, so where would she get the milk to feed your dog?"

Besides, he's already a year old. He doesn't necessarily need milk. Why don't you cook him some porridge or steam some egg custard instead of going out to find him milk?

He was practically gritting his teeth as he said this. Did he even know how much the regimental commander cherished his wife? Let alone the fact that she was feeding triplets and didn't have enough milk, even if she had plenty, the regimental commander would never let his wife breastfeed someone else's children, especially such big ones. Was he trying to kill him?
Hearing her son's words, displeasure flashed across her face: "The dog won't eat porridge or steamed egg custard, so I brought him out to beg for some milk. Besides, isn't that how it is in the village? You even drank the milk of Qiangzi's mother and Er Mazi's mother when you were little."

She said that on purpose. People in the village are all related, and it's inevitable that someone will bring their child to someone else's house to get some milk.

Huo Jingrui remained silent, staring intently at Hao Qingfeng, his meaning all too clear.

Before his mother could say anything more, Company Commander Hao said, "Regimental Commander, my mother isn't quite right in the head. I'll take her back right now."

When Hao's mother saw her son pulling her away, she suddenly became anxious: "Oh dear, we haven't even borrowed milk for the dog yet."

Company Commander Hao dared not stop: "You came to borrow milk empty-handed?"

Hao's mother was held firmly by her son's large hand and had no choice but to follow him out: "What are you saying? Do you expect me to bring something with me? Even if I did, would your commander dare to accept it?"

"Did I mean that?"

"They have three puppies. It was already inconsiderate of you to come and borrow milk from them. And to make matters worse, you didn't even bring a container for it. Do you expect them to feed their puppies themselves?"
