The days passed quickly.
In the blink of an eye, one month had passed.
Dong Xuebing's villa, second floor bedroom.
"Wah … wah … wah …" Dong Xuebing kept crying.
Dong Xuebing, who was lying on the bed, was woken up by Huilan's cries. He rolled over and groaned. He is too sleepy and did not open his eyes, but Huilan's cries are still ringing in his ears. Dong Xuebing is frustrated. During Huilan's confinement, Dong Xuebing had not had a moment of peace. He had promised to take care of Huilan and was excited. But in the end, he had to take care of Huilan, and he even had the urge to jump off a building. He did not expect it to be so tiring to look after Huilan. Xiao Chongchong did not even have a moment of rest. He would pee, defecate, get hungry, and wake up every one or two hours. Dong Xuebing had to take care of Xiao Chongchong like he is his little ancestor. Sometimes, Dong Xuebing does not even get four hours of sleep. Of course, Huilan also has to take care of Dong Xuebing. Dong Xuebing is almost crazy from the fatigue.
After a while, Dong Xuebing stopped crying.
Dong Xuebing rubbed his eyes and saw his wife, who was lying beside him, had also woken up.
Xie Huilan carried Dong Xuebing out of the pram and started feeding him.
"Ah … mmm …" Dong Xuebing was sucking on Xie Huilan's breast.
Xie Huilan patted her son's head. "Drink slowly. What's the hurry? Haha … no one is going to snatch from you."
After resting for so many days, Xie Huilan had almost fully recovered. She can walk and move around without any problems. The only difference is her figure. Before she got pregnant, she was very skinny. But now, she is more voluptuous, and it will take a few more months for her figure to recover. But Xie Huilan is still beautiful now.
Her face is more mature.
Her body is more voluptuous.
Dong Xuebing moved closer.
Dong Xuebing moved closer. "Give me a mouthful."
Xie Huilan laughed and pushed Dong Xuebing's head away. "It's not for you."
"Ah … I am thirsty and can't be bothered to move." Dong Xuebing said.
"If you are too lazy to drink, then drink it yourself. I am not used to your bad habit." Xie Huilan refused to let Dong Xuebing drink.
Dong Xuebing replied angrily. "Do you think I want it? If you don't want to drink, then so be it. Just look at how stingy you are."
Xie Huilan laughed. "I don't have enough milk for my son, and I don't have time to take care of you. Go and prepare breakfast."
"You only know how to order me around. Aren't you out of confinement?"
"I still have to look after the child. I can't leave."
"Alright, what time is your flight today?"
"At noon, we can make it. By the way, my mom will be here soon."
"I know. I'll make an extra set of breakfast then. Phew, I've finally asked you to leave."
"What's wrong? Don't you want me to stay for a few more days? Are you trying to chase me away? "
"Not at all. I hope so, but you've been here for more than a month. It's time for you to go to the South to take up your post. I can't keep you even if I wanted to."
"I can tell you can't wait for me to leave."
Dong Xuebing and Xie Huilan chatted for a while, and the doorbell rang.
Dong Xuebing did not expect Han Jing to arrive so quickly. He quickly got out of bed in his pajamas and went downstairs to open the door. Two people are standing outside. One is his mother-in-law, Han Jing, and the other is Han Jing's housekeeper, who Dong Xuebing had seen frequently. The housekeeper is carrying a small suitcase.
"Mum." Dong Xuebing said. "Come in."
Han Jing smiled. "Is Chong Chong awake?"
Dong Xuebing points upstairs. "He's awake. Huilan is feeding him."
"Ok. I will go upstairs to take a look." Han Jing ran upstairs.
"I will prepare breakfast. You can come down later." Dong Xuebing did not ask the housekeeper to help him and went to the kitchen.
… …
8 am.
Xie Huilan went downstairs.
Han Jing is also following behind, hugging Xiao Bing and kissing him.
When Dong Xuebing came out, Xie Huilan looked at him and smiled at her mother. Dong Xuebing also smiled. He knows the elderly like children.
Lunch is ready.
Everyone sat down for lunch.
Han Jing had been playing with Chong Chong for a long time and asked. "Huilan, why must you bring him away? He is so far away from home, and if he gets sick, what if he is not acclimatized? What if he cannot adapt to the temperature? The air in the south is humid. How about this, you go ahead first. The appointment has already been made, and you can't delay it for too long. Little Chongchong, leave this place to me. Mom will definitely take good care of you. Mom brought you up personally, and she has experience. She will definitely be better than you taking care of him by yourself. Furthermore, you are going to be the Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee soon. Can you go ahead? Go ahead, and Chong Chong will stay. "
Xie Huilan replied firmly. "I must take care of my son."
Han Jing replied angrily. "It's not like I am not letting you take care of him. When he is older and starts school, I will take care of him for you."
Xie Huilan shook her head. "No."
"Why is this child so disobedient?" Han Jing is unhappy.
Xie Huilan laughed. "I will ask Auntie Wang to take care of Chong Chong when I am free. I will go home at night, and I can take care of him myself." Xie Huilan looks at the housekeeper. "Auntie Wang, I need you to come with me this time. You are the one taking care of me when I was young, and I don't trust anyone else. That's why I want to invite you over. You might not be coming back to Beijing anytime soon. How about your husband and child come over too? You can stay with me and Chong Chong, and I will ask Xiao Bing to buy an apartment for your husband and wife."
Auntie Wang quickly replied. "Missy, it's fine. You are too polite."
Han Jing saw her daughter had made up her mind and sighed. "Then you must come back more often and bring Chong Chong back for me … Never mind. Don't come back. Chong Chong Chong can't take it anymore. I will go to the south to visit you all when I am free."
Xie Huilan laughed. "You are a Politburo member's wife, and the local government will not have enough people to welcome you."
Han Jing paused for a second. "I will go there secretly."
Xie Huilan replied. "Let's talk about it later. Let me settle the situation first."
Han Jing continued. "You are the City's Mayor, and it is easy for you to carry out your duties. You also have the authority to settle the situation. Anyway, I will go over when I am free, and it's useless even if you are not willing. Do you think you are the only one who wants to have a child? I also want Chong Chong. That's settled. "
Dong Xuebing immediately replied. "I will go over when I am free."
Xie Huilan laughed. "Up to you all."
Han Jing asked. "Have you packed your luggage?"
"Yes. I had packed it last night." Dong Xuebing points to the luggage beside the sofa. "Not a lot. I only packed some clothes and medicine."
Han Jing nodded. "Let Huilan buy the rest after she gets there."
Suddenly, Xie Huilan looks at the housekeeper. "Auntie Wang, I still have not brought Chong Chong's diapers. I am afraid he might not have enough diapers on the plane. Can you help me bring a few bags?"
"Ok." Auntie Wang smiled. She knows they have something to talk about and went upstairs.
After Auntie Wang left, Xie Huilan looks at her mother. "I gave birth after I came back, and I had not spoken to Senior Feng and the rest of the family. Can I do whatever I want during this trip?"
Han Jing looks at her daughter. "Sure."
Xie Huilan laughed. "That's good."
Han Jing said. "This time, it is Old Master's idea for you to work in the South. Our family's personnel structure is unprecedentedly full. We have your grandfather's influence and connections, your fourth grandpa is in charge of the frontline, and your father and your second uncle are at the bottom. You should know about the previous change of leadership. Your uncle and second uncle had taken a big step forward, and many people are jealous of them. Our family has gained the most from this change of leadership. Although many of our allies and friends have been suppressed, the backbone of our family is very stable. Your Uncle Zhao, your Aunt Liu, and your Grandpa Li have not changed their positions, and our family's authority has increased."
Xie Huilan nodded. "I also did not expect to gain so much from this change of leadership, especially my Second Uncle."
"It's all thanks to the hard drive Xiao Bing brought back from Fu Zhou. It had helped your Second Uncle a lot." Han Jing looked at her son-in-law and continued. "Also, Huilan, our family had arranged for you to be the Mayor of a Prefectural City in the South. But something unexpected happened, and Xiao Bing had helped you solve the problem perfectly. That's why Senior Feng changed his mind and pushed you to be the City's Party Secretary. If not, with your qualifications, you will need at least one to two years before you can become the City's Party Leader."
Dong Xuebing was flattered.
Xie Huilan patted the back of Dong Xuebing's hand. "You can tell I am good at picking my husband. Haha. "
Han Jing laughed. "This time, Old Master wants you to let loose and not be as low-key as before. Our family's third generation has just started to show off. This time, you are the City's Party Secretary, and it is time for you to shine. As long as you stand firm, Xiao Ran and the rest will be able to move up smoothly. Your Dad said this is a crucial step. You are the elder sister of the younger generation, and you must set an example for the younger generation. You must lead Xiao Ran and the rest well. If not, our family will not be able to keep up with the younger generation. Before your Fourth Grandpa retires, you must build the foundation as soon as possible. Do you understand what I mean?"
Xie Huilan nodded. "Why don't you let Xiao Ran show off? This brat is the leader of our family's third generation. What's wrong with me going up? "
Han Jing said in a low voice: "It is Old Master who is worried. Xiao Ran must be groomed in the future. But now, Xiao Ran is still not as good as you. Her courage and political experience are not as good as you. Among the younger generation in our family, only you can satisfy Old Master."
Xie Huilan nodded. "I know."
