Back To The 80s: President's Doted Wife novel Chapter 1428

Chapter 1428: Chapter 1429: Drunken Words

After Regimental Commander Mai’s speech to the entire military, it seemed that no one came to offer gifts or ask for favors anymore, and even the gossip around the compound seemed to vanish suddenly.

Hualing secretly whispered to Cheng Su, saying she feared those men at home were now restraining their wives, afraid they wouldn’t even get the little retirement subsidy.

Cheng Su simply laughed it off.

Life returned to calm, and days passed peacefully without incident.

Cheng Su organized the valuation of the family’s assets and submitted a report, asking Qi Taiguo to file it for the record.

As April came, her belly grew as if inflated suddenly and her appetite was astonishing. Strangely, Cheng Su didn’t gain much weight overall; it was all focused on the baby.

Chunhua and the others looked on surprised and envious. When they were pregnant, the weight stayed with them, and after birth, it was hard to lose the extra weight and belly.

Cheng Su also found it odd, often touching her belly and saying the baby favored her.

After the Qingming Festival in April, the list of old and new replacements was settled and posted on the bulletin board. Cheng Su saw a few familiar names from the list Qi Taiguo brought back.

Among them was their neighbor, Chen Shouwang.

Even though Hualing and the others were mentally prepared, seeing the list still brought a bit of sadness.

Especially for Chen Shouwang, who had been in the army for over twenty years, leaving now brought undeniable disappointment.

Thus, Chen Shouwang unusually dragged Qi Taiguo out for a drink, getting thoroughly drunk before returning, giving Hualing a reason to scold him thoroughly. Yet scold she might, she still had to take care of him.

"Getting so drunk on a little alcohol, why didn’t it kill you," Hualing scolded as she wiped Chen Shouwang’s face vigorously with a warm towel.
