1970s: A hot-tempered wife who accompanied a soldier to the military compound and made a fortune.

Chapter 1722 I'm so glad I have such great in-laws.
Many hands make light work. While the children were still playing wildly in the yard, Zhang Haitang called out, "Wash your hands and get ready for dinner."

The little ones were well-behaved; none of them made a fuss about wanting to play anymore.

Xiao Changjiang looked at them and said, "Children, stand your iron rings up against the wall and come wash your hands."

As a result, a dozen or so iron rings of varying sizes were neatly erected on the outer wall of the storage room, creating a spectacular sight.

Even if all these iron rings were made from scraps, if you don't pay the material costs to the finance department, someone will probably teach you a lesson in no time.

The food was served, and everyone had just sat down.

Xiao Changjiang had just finished giving his blessings when he added that those who had time tomorrow should go back to their ancestral home together, stay overnight, and return the day after tomorrow.

As they were talking, Guo Yan'er, the second sister-in-law, suddenly changed her expression, covered her mouth, and rushed out.

The group of women all followed her out, their faces full of concern: "Yan'er, how are you?"

Xiao Nianchun's face was full of joy: "Yan'er, you're not pregnant, are you?"

Zhang Haitang, the mother-in-law, was overjoyed: "Judging from this, she should be pregnant."

In fact, Guo Yan'er had been suspicious these past few days and was thinking of getting a check-up after the sixth day of the new year. Just now in the kitchen, she had been enduring her discomfort so as not to spoil everyone's fun.

But unexpectedly, she couldn't hold back any longer: "Mom, I'm sorry for disturbing everyone."

Before she could finish speaking, she vomited again.

Xiao Wanli rushed out of the house: "Wife, how are you? I'll take you to the hospital right away."

Guo Yan'er quickly patted his hand: "No need, no need. It's probably what Mom and the others said. I might be pregnant. This is a normal reaction. You don't need to be nervous."

Upon hearing that his second daughter-in-law was pregnant, Xiao Changjiang's smile deepened: "Great news for the new year, not bad." Hearing her father-in-law's words, Guo Yan'er felt much better.

Regardless of the reason in the past, the fact that she had a child out of wedlock always made her feel inferior in front of her in-laws, but her father-in-law's words today made her feel much more at ease.

Although her in-laws never said anything, she just couldn't get over it in her heart. Now she only hopes that this pregnancy will be a son, so that she can have a son and a daughter, and that she can be worthy of the man who is holding her.

Seeing her son still standing there in a daze, Zhang Haitang said, "Second son, carry your wife back to the room. She can't stand the smell of meat. Go to the kitchen and get a bowl with some food she can eat. Eat with her in your room so she suffers less."

Guo Yan'er wanted to say, "Isn't this inappropriate?"

Zhang Haitang could easily see what she was thinking: "We're all family, there's no such thing as good or bad. The most important thing for you right now is to take good care of yourself. After the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, you should go to the hospital for a check-up."

Guo Yan'er was truly grateful to have such wonderful in-laws: "Thank you, Mom. You should hurry up and eat too, or the food will get cold."

Zhang Haitang thought of something: "Second brother, you take your wife back to her room. I'll go get a bowl to serve her some food. You can come and get it later."

Xiao Wanli's face was full of joy: "Okay, son will listen to you."

Guo Yan'er was led back to the house: "Wife, sit down, I'll go get you some food."

As soon as Xiao Wanli left, Guo Yan'er raised her hand and stroked her flat belly. Now that her eldest brother and fourth brother both had sons, she hoped that she could also have a son this time. If she could have her wish fulfilled, she would have no regrets.

Inside the main room, everyone was congratulating Xiao Wanli.

Taking advantage of the presence of his second brother, Xiao Changjiang proposed, "Come on, everyone, let's raise our glasses. First, to celebrate the New Year; second, to congratulate the second brother and his wife; and third, to wish everyone a prosperous and successful New Year."

"Come on, second brother, on behalf of you two, let's all drink to this!"
