I was reborn after my cousin stole my life.

Chapter 171: My daughter looks like a celestial being

Jiang Zhou arrived home in the middle of the night. Yuan Xiu was already asleep when he got there. The courtyard gate and the doors of the small building were all bolted from the inside by Yuan Xiu. He couldn't open them from the outside even with the key. Not wanting to wake Yuan Xiu, he became a thief and climbed over the courtyard wall.

Entering the courtyard was easy, but getting into the house was a bit difficult. Yuan Xiu had closed the windows on the first floor, leaving only the windows on the second floor half-open.

This was not difficult for Jiang Zhou. He put his bag down at the door, took a running start, and in a few quick steps, used the protrusions on the wall to climb onto the balcony of the second-floor study.

He tiptoed through the window, and as he passed the bedroom, he peeked inside. Seeing that Yuan Xiu was sleeping soundly, he didn't go in. Instead, he went downstairs, opened the front door, and brought his bag inside.

After washing up downstairs, he tiptoed upstairs, entered the bedroom, lifted the covers, and carefully lay down.

Less than two minutes after I lay down, the person next to me turned over and put their hands and feet on me.

Jiang Zhou: ...You're awake?

Yuan Xiu didn't wake up and slept until dawn. When she found someone lying on the bed, she instinctively kicked at them.

Jiang Zhou reacted quickly and immediately rolled over to dodge, otherwise that kick would have knocked him off the bed!

Although he wasn't kicked off the bed, he rolled off himself, wearing a vest and shorts, and standing barefoot on the floor.

"Isn't it a bit too irritable for such a morning?"

Yuan Xiu awkwardly withdrew her foot; it was an instinctive reaction, and she couldn't be blamed for it.

"When did you get back?"

Jiang Zhou sat back down on the bed, picked up the pants draped over the chair next to him, and said, "I got back late last night."

"Then why didn't you wake me up... wait, that's not right." Yuan Xiu realized, "Then how did you get in? I closed the doors and windows tightly."

Even though she was home alone in a military compound, Yuan Xiu would carefully check the doors and windows every night to make sure not a single mouse could get in. How did Jiang Zhou, such a big person, get in?

Jiang Zhou, belt fastened, said, "Who do you think you are? It's just a two-story house, do you think I can't climb over?"

You're so proud of using a VPN?

Yuan Xiu clapped her hands: "You're amazing!"

"Why are you in such a hurry to go back in the middle of the night?" Yuan Xiu took the clothes Jiang Zhou handed her and sat in bed to put them on.

"Political Commissar Wang was in a hurry to get back, so I came back with him. As soon as we got out of the car, he went to the hospital."

No wonder.

Jiang Zhou: "Starting today, we'll sleep downstairs from now on. Move all your books downstairs from the study too, and try not to go upstairs so often."

Yuan Xiu paused in her dressing. "What? Are you trying to have the whole second floor to yourself?"

Jiang Zhou glanced at her. "What do you think?"

Yuan Xiu was joking with him, knowing that he wanted to move his bedroom to the first floor because he had heard about Teacher Shen's situation.

"Okay, whatever you say."

After breakfast, Jiang Zhou started moving the things from the two bedrooms downstairs. The guest room on the first floor also had a bed, so they just had to move the sheets and blankets down and put them back on before they could sleep.

To make it easier for Yuan Xiu to study and read the book, Jiang Zhou moved the desk from the study room into the bedroom on the first floor.

He moved things very carefully, keeping only the items Yuan Xiu used frequently. The less frequently used items were kept on the second floor, and he would bring them down for her when she needed them.

In the afternoon, Yuan Xiu and Jiang Zhou took the canned brown sugar they bought at the service store to the hospital to formally visit Teacher Shen.

"You're here, why did you bring anything? I only found out from Xiao Shen that we owe a lot to Xiao Yuan for his help these past few days. We should bring a thank-you gift to Xiao Yuan."

Political Commissar Wang held his little daughter, his face beaming with joy.

"Xiao Jiang, come and see! Isn't my little daughter beautiful? Her eyes and nose are just like mine! I've never seen such a beautiful daughter!"

Wang Ting rolled her eyes. So what if she's not pretty?

That's so biased!

Jiang Zhou glanced down at it, "...Hmm, it is quite beautiful."

God bless him, if he has a daughter, may she inherit the best features of her parents!

Yuan Xiu reached out and secretly pinched him on the back. When you praise someone, please do so sincerely.

What does it mean to be hesitant?

Teacher Shen said to Jiang Zhou apologetically, "I'm sorry you had to see this. He's spent most of the day practically showing off his daughter all over the hospital. Only a father like him would think his little girl looks like an angel."

Wang Ting pouted: "You can't even tell if someone is being nice or mean."

The little girl is indeed very cute, but... is it really true that she's the most beautiful child?

Political Commissar Wang ignored their words and teased the little girl in a high-pitched voice, "We're pretty, aren't we? Anyone who says we're not pretty has bad eyesight."

Hearing him speak in a high-pitched voice, Jiang Zhou felt numb.

He won't do that later... right?

Only when the little girl in his arms started to whine did Political Commissar Wang hand the child to Teacher Shen for breastfeeding.

The men went out, while the women stayed behind.

While breastfeeding, Teacher Shen said to Wang Ting, "Your dad used to tell me that he wasn't home when you were born. By the time he got back, you were already walking. He always regretted not seeing you born. The reason he loves his little sister so much is because..."

Before Teacher Shen could finish speaking, Wang Ting interrupted her: "Oh, I know what you mean. I'm not that petty. Do you think I'm just an older sister who's jealous of her little sister?"

Teacher Shen shook her head with a smile: "Of course not. If it weren't for you, her older sister, changing and washing her diapers, and feeding her formula, she wouldn't be living such a good life."

During this period, Wang Ting did all the work of changing and washing diapers. For Teacher Shen's three meals a day at the hospital, Wang Ting either went to the cafeteria to get them or cooked them at home and brought them over.

She even knows what kind of soup to make to help with lactation; she's worked incredibly hard for us.

"My mom will be here in the next couple of days, so you can relax a bit more."

The day after giving birth, Teacher Shen asked Wang Ting to send a telegram to her family home, saying it should arrive soon.

Outside the door, Political Commissar Wang and Jiang Zhou were also chatting.

"...My Wang Ting has grown up!"

Jiang Zhou: "I think she turned 18 last year, right?"

"Tsk!"

Commissar Wang rolled his eyes at him. "You didn't understand what I meant. What I meant was that she has matured and no longer sees things like a child. I never expected that she could take such good care of her Aunt Shen and her sister during this time."

Commissar Wang said with a face full of satisfaction: "I originally thought she would only understand after she got married and had children. I never expected that she would be my daughter. She may be stubborn, but she is very kind-hearted and knows how to prioritize things."

Jiang Zhou was tired of listening; it was all praise for his daughter, praising both the younger and older children, as if to say, "Your child is the best."

Once his child is born, I certainly won't be like him, peddling my own wares and praising my own wares.
