83: Chapter 83 Island Life in the 1980s (18)

Jiang Wan was quite satisfied with her man's attitude toward his woman in the military, so today, she specially prepared a little surprise for him.

While Shen Zhao went to take a shower, Jiang Wan changed into the little dress she had brought with her.

It was a black sheer spaghetti-strap dress that barely covered the tops of her thighs. The key areas were slit open, creating a tantalizing, peek-a-boo effect that was extremely alluring.

The thin layer of fabric could not contain Jiang Wan's fullness; when she lay lazily on her side on the bed, her curves looked even more breathtaking.

Jiang Wan's skin was fair, and wearing this black dress made her look incredibly seductive.

As soon as Shen Zhao walked in and saw his wife looking so charming, his pupils contracted and his throat bobbed. Then, the desire in his eyes deepened.

He closed the door, hurried to the bedside, and impatiently caressed Jiang Wan's shoulders.

His voice was deep and urgent: "Wife, did you prepare this specially for me?"

Jiang Wan raised her hand to gently stroke the man's chest, her voice filled with seduction. "Do you like it?"

"I do."

Shen Zhao felt as if his whole body were being roasted on a fire. He impatiently kissed Jiang Wan's red lips, his large hand also reaching for his favorite spot.

His domineering kisses traveled downward, causing a wave of tremors through Jiang Wan wherever they touched.

During this process, Shen Zhao also discovered the unique design of the outfit. His eyes turned red, he breathed heavily, and he was ready to strike.

The bedside drawer was pulled open, followed by the sound of a packet being torn. Upon hearing this, Jiang Wan knew exactly what was happening.

She reached out, threw away the item in the man's hand, and sat in his arms, her body soft and boneless as she whispered into his ear: "Starting from today, we won't use this."

Shen Zhao was stunned, looking at his wife's pink little face and her smiling eyes. His heart skipped a beat—was it what he thought? Shen Zhao could hardly believe it.

"But... will you..."

Jiang Wan interrupted him: "I want a child. Let's have a baby! I'm about to graduate..."

There were less than two months left until Jiang Wan graduated, so she could get pregnant now.

Jiang Wan's words stunned Shen Zhao so much that he couldn't even speak properly. He could only stutter a single word repeatedly: "Okay, okay, okay."

Since his wife wanted to have a baby, he would just have to put in more effort.

Shen Zhao knew that Jiang Wan had a half-month leave. Except for the day of Jiang Zhenyi's wedding when he let her rest, for the rest of those days, Jiang Wan never saw the morning sun.

During this time, although Shen Zhao was busy until late at night every day, he remained full of energy and showed not a hint of fatigue.

These efforts certainly did not go to waste; a little over a month later, Jiang Wan successfully conceived a baby.

Jiang Wan had already decided to stay in Jing City for these two years to give birth to the child here. Then, after the child was a little older, she would take the child to live with their father.

When Shen Zhao heard the news of his wife's pregnancy, he was so happy that he ran several laps around the training field.

Shen Zhao agreed with Jiang Wan's arrangement; the conditions in Jing City were better, and his parents could help out.

If she came to his side, not only would Jiang Wan's job need to be transferred, but he also frequently went on missions, often away from home for half a month or even several months at a time. He wouldn't be at ease leaving Jiang Wan here alone.

Shen Zhao thought that by then, perhaps his wife wouldn't need to come over; maybe he would be transferred back instead!

For the sake of this goal, Shen Zhao worked even harder.

After Jiang Wan became pregnant, she continued to work at the hospital. She worked in the outpatient clinic and did not perform surgeries, which was relatively easier.

This was arranged by the hospital. After all, Jiang Wan was highly capable. If they let her leave the hospital because of this small matter, it would be the hospital's loss.

Knowing that Jiang Wan was pregnant, Father Shen and Mother Shen were overjoyed. Both elders were very supportive of their daughter-in-law wanting to work.

When it was discovered that Jiang Wan was pregnant with twins, they even said that their ancestors must have blessed them.

For this reason, Father Shen even went to burn paper money and offer incense to their ancestors.

Mother Shen would deliver meals to Jiang Wan every noon so that she could properly supplement her nutrition while busy with work.

A few months later, Jiang Wan gave birth to twin boys.

Shen Zhao was still on a mission at that time. When he returned and discovered that his two sons had already been born and were almost a month old, he was dumbfounded for a moment.

Wait, no—he had rushed back just to accompany his wife during childbirth.

Wasn't it supposed to be ten months of pregnancy? How had his wife already given birth?

He really hadn't known that twins were mostly born prematurely...

It wasn't until Mother Shen asked him to hold the children that he snapped back to reality.

The infants were so small that as soon as they were placed in Shen Zhao's arms, he didn't dare to move.

He felt that these babies were even more terrifying than hand grenades!

Shen Zhao was trembling with fear, his whole body stiff, not daring to move.

Jiang Wan watched and snickered, while Mother Shen curled her lip in disdain and turned her head away, unable to bear watching.

The baby was uncomfortable and started wailing.

Shen Zhao sought help from his mother: "Mom, Mom, he's crying, he's crying."

Mother Shen hurriedly stepped forward to take the baby, soothing him skillfully, and soon the baby stopped crying.

Seeing that the baby had stopped crying, Shen Zhao breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

He had really been scared to death just now.

Mother Shen rolled her eyes at him in disgust: "Look at you, you don't even dare to hold a child; it's so embarrassing."

As she spoke, Mother Shen lifted her chin to signal her son to look at Father Shen.

Father Shen was holding the younger brother by the window, looking at the scenery.

"Look at your dad, how well he holds him. Let me tell you, you need to learn from him so you can help Wanwan at night."

There were two children; Jiang Wan couldn't take care of them alone, especially since the children were still breastfeeding, and Jiang Wan was exhausted.

Before Shen Zhao returned, the nanny and Mother Shen could help Jiang Wan at night. But now that Shen Zhao was back, as a young married couple, and with Shen Zhao unwilling to sleep in separate rooms, it wasn't appropriate for them to come over at night to help Jiang Wan.

Shen Zhao nodded and immediately declared that he would learn earnestly.

Just like that, as soon as Shen Zhao returned, without resting for a moment, he started learning how to take care of the children from his mother.

After learning for an afternoon, Shen Zhao was already doing a decent job.

Jiang Wan was still in her confinement period, so even if Shen Zhao wanted to do anything, he couldn't.

Especially when he watched his wife breastfeeding the children, Shen Zhao couldn't even blink.

When he had been wiping his wife down just now, he had only taken the opportunity to get a little touch; he didn't dare to do anything else.

Watching his son eating with such relish, he really wanted to have a taste too!

Jiang Wan's face flushed red under Shen Zhao's gaze, which left Shen Zhao feeling parched.

Of course, Shen Zhao did have opportunities to drink.

After the full month, the two sons started having formula, which was prepared for when Jiang Wan went out to work.

After Jiang Wan's three-month maternity leave ended, she returned to work at the hospital. By then, the children could be fed formula at home during the day.

When the two silly boys started drinking formula, they didn't reject it at all and drank happily, holding their bottles.

And this was when Jiang Wan suffered.

There was no helping it; Shen Zhao was at home, and he was much more useful than a breast pump.

Shen Zhao was also more than willing to help his wife resolve this trouble.

Throughout the process, it was inevitable that he would be burning with desire, but at least he could get some meat. Although he couldn't go all the way, he could let his wife help him in other ways!

It was truly painful yet happy!

After the children were a bit older, before Jiang Wan had even taken them to where Shen Zhao was, Shen Zhao was transferred to Jing City.

Now it was great; the whole family could finally be reunited.

Father Shen and Mother Shen were very happy. Now it was great; the two grandsons didn't have to leave, and they could take care of their grandsons every day again.

After Jiang Wan gave birth to the twins, Shen Zhao went to get a vasectomy.

It was partly due to policy reasons, and also his own intention.

For the married couple, having these two children was enough.

Having two males competing with him for his wife was bad enough; he didn't want to add another one.

If by accident they had another pair of twins, would he even have a place left?

When Bai Xueqing learned that Jiang Wan had given birth to twins, she couldn't help but feel envious.

She had only given birth to one daughter, and due to policy reasons, she could only have one child.

Although the Liang family didn't say anything and doted on her daughter, she still felt a bit bitter inside.

Clearly she was the female lead, so why was she inferior to Jiang Wan in every aspect?

Jiang Wan was prettier than her, had a higher education level, and now, she had given birth to more children than her.

Even Shen Zhao's position was higher than Liang Shiwei's.

Shen Zhao had already been transferred back to Jing City, while her man was still stuck where he was.

Sometimes Bai Xueqing felt that she was a fake female lead, and the real female lead should have been Jiang Wan.

Jiang Wan was the true winner in life!

When Jiang Wan became the General's wife, Bai Xueqing felt that she must have guessed correctly this time.

Jiang Wan was the female lead of this world, and she was just a pseudo-female lead!

Liang Shiwei eventually retired from the military. To ordinary people, his work unit was quite good, and there were opportunities to climb the ladder.

However, Bai Xueqing felt that the salary was too low and that the money wasn't enough to spend at all, so she wanted Liang Shiwei to resign and enter the business world.

How could Liang Shiwei listen to her? He didn't understand these things, and he didn't want to end up with nothing after all his efforts.

With no other choice, Bai Xueqing had to take action herself. She felt that with her advanced knowledge, she would surely be able to achieve twice the result with half the effort.

She did want to continue being a literary plagiarist, but too much time had passed, and she simply couldn't remember that much information.

She only remembered little bits and pieces of many things. That song she had brought out back in the military was only because she heard her grandmother singing it every day.

Because her grandmother and the neighbors danced to square dancing every day at home, she couldn't forget it even if she wanted to.

As for the rest, she really had no way to remember them.

What was the use of only knowing one or two lines?

Therefore, in the end, Bai Xueqing opened a milk tea shop because milk tea would be very popular among young people and children in the future, so she could be considered to have seized the first opportunity.

Although she couldn't be extremely wealthy, compared to some families, her conditions were already considered quite good.

And what about Jiang Wan? Her husband couldn't earn big money, but she could!

As for her parents-in-law's wealth, that was their business. She could earn money herself, so she would just earn it on her own first.

In addition to her own medical patents, she also bought stocks. With the money she earned, she bought houses, land, and shops.

Her two sons were also promising, and their speed of making money was much more impressive than their old mother's.

Jiang Wan retired early before she even reached the age, and then first traveled around the mountains and rivers with her mother-in-law and Eldest Aunt. After her husband retired, the two of them traveled around together.

With a harmonious family and Shen Zhao doting on her, Jiang Wan had no worries throughout her life, and she grew younger the older she got.

After seeing Shen Zhao off, Jiang Wan passed away two years later.
