Chapter 763: A handful of milk!
Morning.
It is mid-October, and Dong Xuebing wore his long johns under his clothes. He drove out of Nan Shan District with his luggage towards Beijing. The training at the Central Party School starts in a few days, and he wants to leave for Beijing earlier to see Aunt Xuan and his daughter.
Almost all drivers will look at Dong Xuebing’s Cayenne when he drives on the road.
This is because Dong Xuebing’s car was severely damaged in the earthquake. A few debris had fallen on it during the aftershocks, and the sunroof could not be opened. There’s a significant dent on the hood, the left headlight is smashed, and the side mirrors are missing. When he needs to make a turn, he needs to turn his head to check the traffic behind. He doesn’t intend to send it for repairs as it was severely damaged. He wants to buy a new car when he is in Beijing.
Dong Xuebing finally reached Beijing.
I am back!
I am finally back!
Dong Xuebing felt warm when he enters Beijing. This is where he grew up. Beijing is the capital, and many people want to live there as it is a modern city with lots of opportunities. But he felt these claims are exaggerated. Like Shun Yi, Ping Gu, and Tong Xian, Beijing’s suburbs are primarily farms and fields. Tong Zhou District and many other areas are not as developed as Yan Tai County. There are lots of problems in the City too. Beijing is not as good as what the TV and movies portray. Nevertheless, he has too many fond memories of this place and can never forget it.
Dong Xuebing made a call while driving.
Ring…. Ring…. Ring….
Qu Yunxuan answered. “Hello, Xiao Bing.”
“Xuanxuan, where are you?” Dong Xuebing asked.
“Where can I go?” Qu Yunxuan giggled. “I am looking after our baby at home.”
“Is everything alright at home? Where’s Mum and Dad?”
“They went to the market. Everything is fine. Where are you?”
“Me?” Dong Xuebing laughed. “I am in Nan Shan District. Alright, I will call you later. I got work to do.”
“You only think of work. Bye.”
Dong Xuebing laughed after hanging up. He did not tell Qu Yunxuan because he wanted to give her a surprise. He drove to a nearby shopping mall to buy infant products, health supplements for seniors, etc., before rushing to Qu Yunxuan’s house.
10 am.
Qu Yunxuan’s apartment complex.
Dong Xuebing parked his car and carried all the stuff up. He stood outside of Aunt Xuan’s apartment and pressed the doorbell excitedly. His heart couldn’t stop pounding as he held his breath and waited.
“Who is it?” It’s Qu Yunxuan’s mother. She had returned from the market.
Dong Xuebing quickly reply. “Mum, it’s me.”
Qu Yunxuan’s mother quickly opens the door. “Xiao Bing, why didn’t you tell us when you are coming back?”
Dong Xuebing entered the apartment. “I wanted to give you all a surprise. Mum, these health supplements are for you and Dad. These are good for high blood pressure. Both of you must eat it every day.”
Qu Yunxuan’s father walked over. “Why did you buy so many things for us again?”
“Hurry and come in.” Qu Yunxuan’s mother said. “Are you tired? I will get you a glass of water.”
Qu Yunxuan’s father asks. “How is your work? Is the rescue operations still ongoing?”
Qu Yunxuan’s mother interrupts. “Stop talking about work. You should ask him about his injuries. Xiao Bing, let me look at you. Have you recovered?”
“Mum, I’m fine.”
“Good. You had scared all of us.”
“Sorry for making you all worry about me.”
Qu Yunxuan’s father patted Dong Xuebing’s shoulder. “I watched the news and had heard how you save others. What you did is right! We are Party Members, and we should….”
Qu Yunxuan’s mother got mad and interrupted him. “Can’t you talk about something else? If he dies, Yunxuan will be a widow!” She turns to Dong Xuebing. “Xiao Bing, you must listen to me. Don’t ever do such things again. You are not the only Party Member left in this world, and stop trying to be a hero. You must consider Yunxuan and your daughter. Don’t listen to Dad’s nonsenses.”
Qu Yunxuan’s father retorted. “What do you mean?”
Qu Yunxuan’s mother grumbled. “You are talking nonsense all day long.”
Dong Xuebing is afraid they will fight and quickly interrupts them. “Mum, Dad, err…. Where’s Yunxuan?”
Qu Yunxuan’s mother smiles and points to the bedroom. “She is playing music and trying to make the baby sleep. She kept carrying her and didn’t let me carry my granddaughter.”
Qu Yunxuan’s father shook her head. “Qianqian will be spoilt by Yunxuan when she grows up.”
“What’s wrong with her getting spoilt?” Qu Yunxuan’s mother retorted. “Girls should be brought up like a princess.”
Suddenly, the bedroom door opened, and Qu Yunxuan asked. “Who is here?”
“You finally heard us talking?” Qu Yunxuan’s mother smiled. “Look, who here.”
Qu Yunxuan saw Dong Xuebing when she entered the living room. “Xiao Bing?! I thought you were still in Nan Shan District!”
Dong Xuebing laughed. “I reached Beijing when I called you.”
“You keep playing tricks with me.” Qu Yunxuan gave Dong Xuebing a stare and walked over to examine him. She sighed in relief when she saw he was okay. “I will give you a beating if you dare to scare me like this again!”
Dong Xuebing looks at Qu Yunxuan, and if Aunt Xuan’s parents were not around, he would surely hug her. It’s been too long since they met, and he misses her badly.
Qu Yunxuan’s father waved to Qu Yunxuan. “Stop standing there and talk. Sit first. Xiao Bing must be tired from driving.”
Qu Yunxuan’s mother looks at Dong Xuebing. “How long will you be staying here?”
Dong Xuebing held Qu Yunxuan’s hand and sat on the sofa. “I should be here for around one month.”
“One month?” Qu Yunxuan’s father frowned. “What about your work at the Subdistrict?”
Dong Xuebing replied. “Our Deputy Work Secretary will be taking over my work temporarily while I attend a training course at the Central Party School.”
Qu Yunxuan’s mother is ecstatic. “Are you getting promoted?”
Qu Yunxuan asked. “Deputy Division Chief?”
Dong Xuebing nodded. “Haha…. I think so. But it is not confirmed, and I don’t know where they will post me to.”
Qu Yunxuan’s mother said excitedly. “You are only twenty-five years old, and you will be a Deputy Division Chief. You are so capable. This calls for a celebration. Wait here. I will prepare lunch.”
Qu Yunxuan smiles. “Look how excited my Mum is. Others might think she is the one who is getting promoted.”
“What are you talking about?” Qu Yunxuan’s mother gave her a stare.
Qu Yunxuan’s father stroked his beard. “Don’t you know your mother well? She has been like this all her life and can never change. Getting promoted or not doesn’t matter to me. It is what you do that can benefit the people.”
Qu Yunxuan’s mother points at her husband impatiently. “Fine… fine…. You are the only person in this family who is noble.” She looks at Dong Xuebing and Qu Yunxuan. “Just ignore him. I will prepare a feast for you all.”
Qu Yunxuan’s father got up. “Carry on chatting. I will go back to my room to read the papers.
They left Dong Xuebing and Qu Yunxuan in the living room.
Dong Xuebing did not hold back and quickly hugged and kissed Qu Yunxuan. She blushed and looked towards the kitchen and bedroom to ensure her parents were not around.
They kissed passionately.
Dong Xuebing asked gently. “Did you miss me?”
Qu Yunxuan giggled before giving him a stare. “Miss…. I miss beating you up!”
“Go ahead. I will not retaliate.” Dong Xuebing joked and looked at her. “Eh? How come you look different after giving birth? Why do you look prettier, and your complexion is better?”
Qu Yunxuan poked Dong Xuebing’s head and laughed. “What else can you do other than flattering me?”
“This is not flattery. I am telling the truth.”
“Sweet talker, haha….”
Dong Xuebing is amazed by how good Qu Yunxuan looks after giving birth. He thought she would put on weight, but it’s the opposite. She looks more mature and sexier. He slid his hand through her silky pajamas top and squeezed her breast.
It’s so soft and full….
But the next moment, Dong Xuebing got a shock. He felt a warm liquid in his hand.
Dong Xuebing quickly pulls out his hand and looks at it. His palm is covered in a layer of white liquid.
Dong Xuebing asked. “What is this?”
Qu Yunxuan blushed and slapped his arm. “You pervert! What do you think?!”
It’s breast milk!
Dong Xuebing suddenly remembers women will have breastmilk after giving birth.
