My older sister, born in the 1970s, stole my marriage; I took my three treasures and blew up the fam

Xiao Bao snorted, and Da Bao snorted too. The two kids' lips were so pouty that they could hang oil bottles on them.

Looking at them now, apart from the difference in size, it's clear that the twins have a great understanding of each other.

Ruan Tinghe pulled the two of them together and asked softly, "Tell your mother what happened?"

Xiao Bao glared at Da Bao, "As soon as Uncle Li Liang came back today, he kept pestering Uncle Li Liang to teach him military boxing!"

Ruan Tinghe raised an eyebrow. Da Bao had been learning military boxing from Li Liang and training his physical fitness through various exercises, so Ruan Tinghe didn't see any problem with it.

So I asked Da Bao, "Da Bao, why were you angry with your brother?"

Da Bao complained, "I clearly chose Uncle Li Liang first! My brother insisted that Uncle Li Liang help him sell the design drawings first!"

"Your boxing techniques are the same every day; you could practice them yourself! Why do you insist on having Uncle Li Liang accompany you?"

"Uncle Li Liang is a soldier! Of course he has to train every day! How can you treat him like a businessman?"

"I don't care! Uncle Li Liang prefers doing business with me! He even said my design drawings are amazing! Keep up the good work, and maybe we can build airplanes and cannons someday!"

After listening for so long, Ruan Tinghe finally understood why Da Bao and Er Bao were arguing.

So it turns out they were fighting over Li Liang!

Da Bao wanted Li Liang to practice boxing with him.

Erbao wants Li Liang to help him sell the design drawings.

But there was only one Li Liang, so the two started fighting.

Ruan Tinghe said helplessly, "Alright, stop arguing. Soon many soldiers will be back for the New Year. You can find someone to help you then, and you won't have to fight over it, right?"

Da Bao lowered her eyes. "I want Uncle Shen Yan, but he's been gone for so long. Will he come back for the New Year?"

Compared to Li Liang, Da Bao still prefers Shen Yan.

He couldn't explain why, he just liked it!

Whenever I see Shen Yan, I feel an inexplicable sense of familiarity.

He never actually said it, but he really wanted Shen Yan to be his father.

But if he had to choose, of course he would choose his mother first! No matter how much he liked something, he couldn't have it if his mother didn't like it!

Ruan Tinghe didn't know when Shen Yan would return. Shen Yan, Captain Song, Qiao Xiaqing, and Yin Quan went to find Shen Nian together.

No information has been sent back to this day.

Perhaps it was sent back, but not to her, an outsider.

"Mom doesn't know either, we'll find out during the New Year!"

Ruan Tinghe rubbed Da Bao's head: "Even if Uncle Shen Yan doesn't come back, Da Bao can find other military uncles to teach you."

Da Bao lowered his eyes, a fleeting look of disappointment, but when he looked up again, his eyes were filled with determination.

He nodded: "I'll listen to my mother!"

Sigh, it seems only he misses Uncle Shen Yan; Mom doesn't miss him at all.

If Ruan Tinghe knew what Da Bao was thinking, she would be very helpless!

How did this lead you to think she didn't want Shen Yan anymore?

she……

"Mom! Can I ask other uncles to help me sell the design drawings?"

Ruan Tinghe smiled awkwardly at Erbao's so-called design drawings.

It's basically just a "cross-section" of the things in her online space. Even if it were available, could current technology recreate it?

Ruan Tinghe didn't know either.

However, Erbao is very motivated and looking forward to selling it.

So Ruan Tinghe still chose to support Erbao, "Of course, but Erbao, don't forget your promise to Mommy."

"Second child remembers, you can't reveal Mommy's secret space! You have to say it's something I imagined! Something I drew myself!"

Ruan Tinghe nodded in satisfaction.

But Erbao pulled out another drawing: "Mom, look, Erbao really created something of his own! It's not just a drawing of things from Mom's online space!"

When Ruan Tinghe took the painting and looked at it, she felt a sudden darkness before her eyes.

What is this thing?

What kind of babies did she give birth to?!

Taking a deep breath, Ruan Tinghe returned the painting to Erbao.

"Erbao, did you come up with all of this yourself?"

"Of course! Isn't Erbao amazing?"

Ruan Tinghe's lips twitched. This was more than just impressive.

She was already considering whether to hand over her second child to the state. With the state's careful nurturing, the second child's future would surely be bright!

There's so little she can give to the second child.

Xiao Bao yawned and said, "Okay! Can you stop being angry now?"

Da Bao looked at Er Bao, and Er Bao looked at Da Bao. Finally, the two of them burst out laughing for no apparent reason.

"Ha ha!"

"Hahaha!"

The two started playfully fighting, and Xiao Bao giggled and joined in.

The three of them moved from the carpet to the bed, jumping and frolicking, and returned to their previous harmonious relationship.

Ruan Tinghe was finally relieved.

And so, a few more days passed peacefully.

It's almost Lunar New Year's Eve.

That day, Ruan Tinghe took Da Bao, Er Bao, and Xiao Bao to the old Chinese medicine doctor's house early in the morning. Xiao Bao's treatment had been completely completed, and now he was receiving treatment from the old Chinese medicine doctor every day.

Ruan Tinghe brought the children to celebrate the Lunar New Year with the old Chinese medicine doctor and also to help him clean up.

Before coming, Grandma Qin had suggested that Ruan Tinghe bring the old Chinese medicine doctor home to celebrate the New Year together. Ruan Tinghe then told the old Chinese medicine doctor about this.

The old Chinese medicine doctor refused no matter what; he wanted to stay and keep his wife and children company.

At that time, there was a huge family photo on the wall of the room.

It wasn't a photograph, it was a portrait.

Ruan Tinghe even used colored pens to add color, making everyone come alive and making the portraits closer to photographs.

It was already past 3 p.m. when I returned from the traditional Chinese medicine doctor's clinic.

Not long after Ruan Tinghe returned home, Yu's wife, wrapped up like a dumpling and carrying the child, came to visit.

With her was a lean but energetic young man.

He is Yu's wife's husband.

"Comrade Ruan! I did so many bad things before, and said so many bad things about you and the children. I was wrong! I'm sorry!"

With tears in her eyes, Yu's wife bowed deeply at a 90-degree angle to apologize.

"I truly know I was wrong. When I was dying in bed, I wondered if I had committed too many sins, which is why God was in a hurry to take me away."

"I was desperate and terrified at the time..."

Recalling what happened that day, Yu's wife couldn't help but shed tears.

Ruan Tinghe wasn't good at offering comforting words; she simply said, "Let bygones be bygones!"

Yu's wife shook her head: "A mistake is a mistake, and I must actively admit it and start anew!"

"Comrade Ruan! If it weren't for Xiao Bao saving me, my child and I would already be..."

She lost control of her tears, hugged her child, turned and buried her face in her husband's arms, unable to say another word.

The man gently patted his wife's back to comfort her while giving Ruan Tinghe a military salute.

"Comrade Ruan! Thank you and your child for saving my wife! From now on, my life belongs to you and the country! Don't hesitate to ask if you need anything!"

As he spoke, he pulled a large red envelope out of his pocket.

"Comrade Ruan, this is just a small token of my gratitude; I hope you will accept it!"
