CHAPTER 400: CHAPTER 395: TOO SMALL

As they talked and laughed, they carried their stuff and headed home.

Upon reaching the doorway, Fang Pingying was about to take out her keys to unlock the door when it was pulled open from inside, revealing Luo Zhiyong standing at the entrance, his face brimming with a smile as he watched her.

Fang Pingying walked into the house and smiled at him, "What’s making you smile so happily?"

In a rare moment, Luo Zhiyong flashed her a mischievous grin, "Guess."

Fang Pingying gave him a playful pout, "How could I possibly guess? I have no idea what it’s about."

While speaking, Fang Pingying walked further into the house. She had been out the whole day and her heart was full of concern for Ruirui and Yaoyao.

Now, in her heart, Ruirui and Yaoyao came first, while Luo Zhiyong had to take second place. There was no helping it; that’s just how women are once they have children.

In the bedroom, the two little ones were lying in their crib, babbling inarticulately.

They were fine just a moment ago, even smiling with their mouths wide open, but upon seeing Fang Pingying, they both puckered their lips and started whimpering, as if about to cry.

Sister-in-law Zhou, who was watching the kids in the bedroom, saw this and chuckled as she gently scraped the cheeks of the little ones, "Your mother was gone the whole day and neither of you made a peep. Now that you see her, you start being needy."

Fang Pingying laughed and first picked up Yaoyao, who was next to her, gave her a kiss on her head, and said with a smile, "Mommy was bad today, Aunt Juzi dragged me out all day, making my little treasures hungry."

"Mmm." Yaoyao seemed to understand Fang Pingying’s words and softly hummed, then instinctively nuzzled her head toward Fang Pingying’s chest.

Fang Pingying laughed and opened up her clothes to feed the little one.

Seeing Luo Zhiyong still cheerfully watching her, she smiled and asked, "So tell me, what’s the good news? Since I’ve been back, I haven’t seen you close your mouth once."

Luo Zhiyong sat down next to Fang Pingying and whispered into her ear as if presenting a treasure, "My application to transfer to the military region has been approved. I’ll start working at the local military region from next week."

Fang Pingying heard this and stood up happily, still holding the breastfeeding Yaoyao, and looked at Luo Zhiyong with sparkling eyes, "Really?"

"Would I lie to you? I’ve received the notification," Luo Zhiyong said, blinking and smiling, "In a day or two, as soon as I wrap up the work over there clearly, I can come back to rest for a couple of days, and then get to work at the military region in the city here."

While the two were talking, Luo Honglan and Yu’er, who were sitting on the couch watching TV after having opened the door, also heard the conversation.

Luo Honglan got up with a smile and walked over to ask Luo Zhiyong, "Big brother, that is truly great news. From now on, you and sister-in-law won’t have to live apart."

"If Brother Zhiyong comes to the city, then sister-in-law won’t have to exhaust herself so much anymore," Yu’er also said, "Currently, sister-in-law is busy all the time; it’s just too hard on her."

Luo Zhiyong looked at Fang Pingying with affection upon hearing this and laughed, "From now on, I can get off work on time every day to look after the kids."

Fang Pingying was truly overjoyed in her heart but quipped, "Don’t make it sound so nice. Just be sure not to be so busy that, after taking care of the kids, I still have to specifically look after you."

"No way," said Luo Zhiyong and seeing that Yaoyao in Fang Pingying’s arms had finished nursing, he put the child back in the crib and ushered Fang Pingying toward the living room, saying with a laugh, "Come, taste my cooking. I made all of today’s dishes myself."

Fang Pingying looked towards the dining table in the living room and saw that this man was truly capable; the table was laid out with a feast of dishes, cold dishes, hot dishes, steamed and stewed, everything that should be there was there.

The family gathered around the table, Fang Pingying took a bite of the dish and found the taste was really not bad.

She cheerfully called to everyone at home, saying with a smile, "Come on, dig in, let’s not waste Camp Chief Luo’s cooking skills."

She called Luo Honglan and Yu’er over, and seeing Sister-in-law Zhou still watching the children, she called out to Sister-in-law Zhou to join as well.

Sister-in-law Zhou refused, gesturing to the children that it was time for them to sleep, and said softly, "Xiao Fang, you eat first, I’ll take care of the kids."

Fang Pingying said with a smile, "Sister-in-law Zhou, come eat with us, just put the children in the cradle."

Sister-in-law Zhou insisted on not joining, "No, I’ll look after the children, you go ahead and eat."

Fang Pingying shook her head with a smile. Sister-in-law Zhou had been nannying for Li Aihua’s family for several years and she knew well what a nanny should pay attention to; she never overstepped her boundaries.

She told Luo Honglan to save some food for Sister-in-law Zhou, and the three of them sat back down to continue eating.

At the dinner table, because of Luo Zhiyong’s news, everyone was especially jovial, chattering away, and Luo Zhiyong even drank a little.

After dinner, by the time Luo Honglan and Yu’er finished tidying up, it was almost ten o’clock at night.

The two little ones had already been lulled to sleep by Sister-in-law Zhou and were sleeping on the little bed in Fang Pingying’s room.

Fang Pingying was worried that it would be uncomfortable for the toddlers to sleep in the cradle all the time. She was also concerned that it would be too crowded if the four of them were to sleep on her and Luo Zhi’s bed, so she had someone specifically make a tiny bed and placed it opposite her own bed.

At night, she took care of the kids herself.

She thought that since she spent most of the daytime outside, busy with work, leaving the kids with Luo Honglan and Sister-in-law Zhou, if she didn’t take care of them herself at night, then maybe the toddlers would not recognize her in a few days, and they obviously wouldn’t be very close to her as they grew up.

Fang Pingying checked on the two little ones, and she also tidied up the things she had bought that day.

While she was organizing Luo Zhi’s underwear, Luo Zhi had just finished his shower and came in from outside, naked, with only a pair of boxers on. Seeing the few pairs of underwear in Fang Pingying’s hands, he raised his eyebrows and asked with a smile, "For me?"

Hearing the nonsense her husband asked, Fang Pingying teasingly raised an eyebrow and said, "Could it be that I would buy boxers for some other man?"

"Cheeky thing." Luo Zhi came over and pinched her face, then picked up the underwear to size it up against himself, "How did you think to buy me underwear? Doesn’t the army issue them to me?"

Fang Pingying pointed to the pair he was wearing, "Look at that pair you’re wearing, they’re worn out. Wear the new ones I bought; the fabric is more comfortable."

"Okay." After sizing up the underwear, Luo Zhi suddenly frowned and looked at Fang Pingying, "But wife, don’t you think these sizes might be too small? I might not be able to fit in them."

Fang Pingying felt those boxers were certainly not too small, sized him up and said, "Really? I reported your height and weight to the store, and they told me this size would fit."

Luo Zhi winked at Fang Pingying, "Even if height and weight are the same, men differ in other areas, affecting the sizing of the underwear they wear."

Once Fang Pingying understood what he meant, her face turned red, and she hit him lightly, muttering, "You think too highly of yourself."

Luo Zhi pulled Fang Pingying onto his lap, his eyes burning with little flames as he looked at her, "Is that what you think?" (To be continued.
