When Cheng Su returned from the new house, she saw Qi Taiguo walking around the room holding Qi Xiaoqi. That posture was clearly meant to lull the child to sleep; she couldn’t help but laugh.
"It’s really rare, for our very busy Deputy Battalion Commander Qi to be so swamped that he’s been missing for days, and now he’s here lulling his son to sleep?" Cheng Su hung up her bag, jokingly teased, and then asked: "Where’s my mom!"
"She saw me come back and said she was going out to buy some meat. So here I am with Xiao Qi, and this lad just won’t sleep," Qi Taiguo said helplessly, glaring at his son.
Qi Xiaoqi looked at him silently, then pouted at Cheng Su.
"He’s probably hungry!" Cheng Su carried her son over from him, noticed there was no one else at home, and simply started breastfeeding in the living room, then asked, "Why did you come back so early today? Weren’t you supposed to be quite busy?"
"Yeah, today’s tasks were done, so I came back early!" Qi Taiguo sat down, watching his son nurse, unable to look away.
Cheng Su said, "You won’t need to go back for night duty tonight, right? In the past, it didn’t seem like you were this busy, disappearing for days."
"Didn’t we just get a new regiment commander this year? And it’s the end of the year, so there are more things to do. Everyone’s style is different, so things are naturally handled differently." Qi Taiguo chuckled wryly.
"Just take care of yourself," Cheng Su remarked and then talked about the new house, "Everything’s set up overall, just some small stuff to slowly pack over, since we’re still living here. There are some big items, moving them over would be inconvenient. I think you should just call over a few soldiers and move everything at once."
Qi Taiguo was lost in thought, saying nothing.
"Hey. I’m talking to you, what’s got you daydreaming?" Cheng Su nudged him.
Only then did Qi Taiguo snap out of it and smile.
Noticing his expression, Cheng Su couldn’t help but be suspicious: "What’s wrong? Is something up?"
