After being universally criticized online, I went viral on military-themed variety shows.

Chapter 667 Awakened by the heat, is filling one's stomach more important?

The couple originally thought that Li Chengxiao would be the first of their three children to wake up.

After all, when this child was single, he always had self-discipline ingrained in his bones.

Now that I have a girlfriend, my daily routine isn't as regular as before, but how can habits that I've cultivated for so many years be broken in such a short time?

Although I went to bed a little late this time, as long as I get enough sleep around the same time as usual, I should be able to wake up.

Moreover, this child never stays in bed after waking up.

The result, however, was beyond their expectations.

This time, it was Jiang Hanying who woke up first.

9:30 a.m. on the first day of the Lunar New Year.

Sunlight streamed through the large glass windows, illuminating the room so brightly that even tiny dust particles could be seen dancing in the light.

Jiang Hanying never had the habit of drawing the curtains before going to sleep. In the past, when they stayed in hotels, Pei Yuan would draw the curtains and make the bed. After they moved out, Li Chengxiao took over doing these things.

Over time, she completely lost the awareness of drawing the curtains before going to bed.

This allowed the bright morning sunlight to shine directly into the cozy bedroom, illuminating most of the bed.

In addition, in the north, the heating or underfloor heating is turned on as soon as winter arrives, so even if it is freezing cold outside, the indoor temperature remains warm and spring-like.

If you stay indoors and don't go out, it's definitely more comfortable than the warmer south.

But with the heating on, the sun shining, and a blanket wrapped around her, the environment was like summer for Jiang Hanying, without the air conditioning on!

She was simply woken up by the heat!

She pulled down a corner of the blanket she was using to shield her face from the sun, blinked to adjust to the overly bright light in the room, then sat up abruptly, wiped the fine sweat from her forehead and neck, and strode towards the bathroom.

After the warm water washed away the stickiness caused by sweat, I felt more awake.

Then came the thirst and hunger.

She poured herself a large glass of water and drank it all in one go, which relieved her thirst. But there was nothing to eat, so she changed her clothes and went out of the hospital to find something to eat.

As she passed by the yard of the cheap owner, Jiang Hanying paused and turned to look at the gate.

The owner of the cheap property must have woken up even earlier than her; he's probably already ahead of her!
Thinking about it, I continued walking forward.

I walked straight to the front reception area.

She entered through the back door, which was the closest one, and just as she crossed the threshold, she heard voices coming from the front.

She immediately recognized the voices of her eldest uncle and aunt, but she was certain she hadn't heard the other people's voices before; they were strangers to her.

He stopped in his tracks as he was about to walk around the screen to the front.

After listening for a moment, she realized that the unfamiliar voices were coming to wish her uncle and aunt a Happy New Year, so she decided to show herself even less.

He turned and took a different path, heading straight for the kitchen.

Filling our stomachs is more important right now!
Tao Junman is helping her husband receive another wave of relatives and friends who have come to pay New Year's visits.

Those who come to pay New Year's visits close to noon are of much higher status than the earlier groups who arrived earlier, left their gifts, and then left. They are considered more important and intimate, and are expected to stay for lunch before departing.

As she was speaking, she caught a glimpse of a pink figure heading towards the kitchen out of the corner of her eye.

At first, I thought I was seeing things, but when I looked closer, Jiang Hanying also noticed the gaze coming from over there and looked back. The two of them made eye contact from a distance of more than ten meters.

"Excuse me, I'll be right back in a minute."

Tao Junman stood up as she spoke.

The sound was somewhat abrupt, and Li Fulin stopped his casual conversation and looked at his wife.

Tao Junman subtly gestured in the direction of Jiang Hanying.

Since the child noticed the guests had arrived but didn't intend to show herself, she wouldn't bring it up in front of them. Besides, seeing that the child had only woken up at this hour and was heading straight for the kitchen, she figured the child was probably hungry.

Let's fill our stomachs first!

Li Fulin glanced over subtly as well, then nodded to his wife.

Tao Junman turned and walked towards Jiang Hanying.

"Auntie."

"hungry?"

Jiang Hanying touched her belly and nodded honestly: "Mmm."

"Then let's eat something first."

Tao Junman's gaze followed Jiang Hanying's hand as it touched her stomach, and she also took a look at the clothes the girl was wearing today.

She couldn't see clearly from a distance earlier because she's a bit nearsighted, but now that she's closer, she can see it very clearly.

This pink outfit and the bright red one embroidered with lotus flowers and fish from yesterday were both prepared by her together.

The lower body is a gold-pink heavily embroidered horse-face skirt, the upper body is a white embroidered shirt, and an apricot-colored cardigan is worn over it.

Yesterday's outfit was bright and playful, refreshing and making people feel lively, carefree, and without worries.

That outfit made her look exceptionally elegant and dignified, a picture of a prosperous and beautiful era.

Tao Junman's eyes were filled with undisguised affection and admiration. She reached out and touched Jiang Hanying's casually tied hair, and as she led her towards the kitchen, she asked, "This outfit also comes with matching jewelry, right? It was placed with the red jade hairpin from yesterday. Why didn't you wear it?"

Jiang Hanying honestly replied, "I don't know how to use it."

"Huh?" Tao Junman never expected this reason. "Then what about yesterday..."

"Shu Heng tied my hair up."

Upon hearing this answer, Tao Junman couldn't help but raise an eyebrow. "This child... is quite skillful with his hands. Let's wait until he gets up before we talk about it."

Although she could help her future niece-in-law with her hair, she figured her nephew would prefer to do it himself.

She decided not to compete with her nephew for the job.

Jiang Hanying had just entered the living room and found that her cheap owner was not there, so she immediately sensed the other party's location.

My initial guess was wrong; the person is still in the yard.

That means they haven't gotten up yet!

However, she still planned to fill her stomach before going back, so her cheap owner could only stand back.

As soon as the two reached the kitchen door, someone inside noticed them and quickly came out to greet them.

"Madam, Miss Jiang."

Tao Junman said gently, "There's only an hour left before lunch. Let's have a quick bite to tide us over, and then we'll have a big meal in an hour."

Upon hearing this, the kitchen staff said, "There's still half a tray of dumplings left from yesterday's making. Let's make a plate of pan-fried dumplings and stir-fry a couple of side dishes. It'll only take a few minutes. There's also a pot of meatball soup that's been simmering. Shall I serve Miss Jiang a bowl first?"

Tao Junman nodded: "Go and get it done."

Jiang Hanying sat at a table not far from the kitchen waiting for food. Seeing that Tao Junman was also going to wait with her, she said, "I can wait here by myself. You go ahead and do your work."

Tao Junman thought that if she stayed, the child might feel uncomfortable being watched while eating, so she nodded and went back to continue accompanying her husband in entertaining guests.

Jiang Hanying waited only a few minutes before receiving the pan-fried dumplings and side dishes that had been hastily prepared for her, along with a bowl of meatball soup. Although they were made in a rush, they were delicious and visually appealing.

I buried my head in my food and finished eating, but I was only about three-tenths full.

Thinking about the big meal an hour later, she reluctantly put down her chopsticks, wiped her mouth, and got up. Next, she had to go back and wake up her cheap owner!
