After emptying her family's fortune, the pampered young lady went to join the army while heavil

Chapter 34 Becoming an Apprentice, and Having a Good Meal

The couple returned to their village.

Qiao Nian put on her old cotton-padded jacket again.

He grabbed a handful of White Rabbit candies and gave them to Lu Xiao, telling him to give the candies to Tian Shichang on his way back to return the bicycle.

Lu Xiao went to return the car, while Qiao Nian went inside to tell her parents what she had bought in the county that day.

Nian Yunci and her family were more concerned about their daughter's prenatal check-up results.

The couple felt a little disappointed when their daughter told them that there was no machine in the county that could take pictures of pregnant women.

But then I thought, once my daughter goes to the military, we can just have her picture taken at the military hospital.

The couple cheered up again.

Qiao Nian took out mutton from her spatial storage. When Nian Yunci saw the whole sheep, she couldn't help but be surprised.

"Where did you buy this?"

"Lu Xiao took me to the black market."

Qiao Nian lowered her voice and used a knife to cut a piece of meat off the lamb leg.

"Dad, how about lamb stew with radish tonight?"

"Let's invite our master and the others over for a meal together, so we can all have a nice meal together."

"it is good."

Qiao Guowen doted on his daughter. He would do anything for her, even if she wanted a star from the sky.

Qiao Nian put away the remaining mutton and also took out the lunchbox containing the braised pork.

"And braised pork."

"We got it from a state-run restaurant."

There's mutton and braised pork; tonight is destined to be a sumptuous dinner.

Moreover, because Lu Xiao is at home, they don't have to worry about being disturbed or reported even when they eat meat.

After the dishes were taken out, Qiao Nian took out her cotton-padded coat.

Seeing this, Nian Yunci couldn't help but scold her for wasting money.

"Mom made a cotton-padded coat for your dad, and she's making one for herself too, so why waste money on this?"

"Mom, our family isn't so poor that we can't afford to buy one more piece of clothing!"

Qiao Nian smiled and held up the cotton-padded jacket to her mother.

The right size.

“I will take these two items to my master and his wife.”

Li Ruihua and Wang Xueqin's circumstances were even worse than theirs.

The cotton-padded jackets they were wearing had been worn for several years, and the cotton inside had become stiff.

Such clothes are not warm at all in this kind of weather.

When you go outside and the cold wind blows, the coat you're wearing doesn't feel like a coat; it feels more like you're wearing blocks of ice.

The other party wanted to teach her medical skills, and Qiao Nian wanted to treat them better if she was able to.

Putting everything else aside, just the bracelet that my teacher's wife gave her last night could buy countless cotton-padded coats if she exchanged it for money.

Come to think of it, she was the one who took advantage of them.

"Master, Mistress? I'm coming in."

Qiao Nian knocked on the door and peeked inside with a smile.

Upon hearing the sound, Wang Xueqin quickly came out from inside.

Upon seeing Qiao Nian, she smiled and welcomed her inside.

"How was your prenatal checkup today? Is the baby alright?"

“The county doesn’t have any machines, so they didn’t find anything,” Qiao Nian replied. “My master checked before and there was no problem, so there must be no problem.”

I went for a checkup today just to see the baby's position.

But even without the machine, she believed her baby would be fine.

Wang Xueqin thought about the current conditions and could only sigh, "We are still too poor. Machines have not yet been popularized in the county."

"Well, let's not talk about that, Master's wife. Lu Xiao and I bought you and Master a cotton-padded coat. You should try it on."

Qiao Nian pushed Wang Xueqin into the room and told her to try on the clothes quickly.

Li Ruihua, who was sitting by the fire pit, also stood up and said, "I told you not to spend money and not to buy things randomly."

"It's okay, it didn't cost much."

A cotton-padded jacket that doesn't require a fare costs fifteen yuan for men and twelve yuan for women.

It's expensive for the average person.

For Qiao Nian, who had a sack of money that had fallen from the sky, it was nothing.

Li Ruihua and Wang Xueqin were pushed into the room and changed into new cotton-padded coats. The stiff old cotton-padded coats were taken off, and the new ones, warmer than a quilt, brought tears to Wang Xueqin's eyes.

Li Ruihua, who was standing to the side, also had tears in her eyes.

He took off his glasses and wiped his eyes with his back to his wife.

They hadn't worn such warm clothes in ages.

And this warmth came from a student he had just taken on, before he had even taught her anything...

Li Ruihua composed herself and turned to speak to Qiao Nian.

But they found that she had already gone back to the apartment next door.

There was also a bag of White Rabbit candies weighing over a pound by the fire pit outside, which was obviously left behind by Qiao Nian.

"Old Li..."

Wang Xueqin came out and saw the large white rabbit on the table.

The amount of sugar they've collected in the last few days is more than they've collected in the last five years combined.

"Take it."

Li Ruihua said softly, "Your health isn't good, so drink more of this White Rabbit candy made with hot water."

"What about Niannian..."

"I still have a few things I've kept hidden away, and I'll give them to her when the time comes."

Also, that good-for-nothing, who reported that his biological parents also wanted to live in the courtyard house, will have it transferred to Niannian's name when the time is right.

Qiao Nian had no idea that her two cotton-padded coats and a pack of White Rabbit candy had earned her another generous gift from her master and mistress.

She went back to the next room, her eyes a little sore.

Afraid that my parents would see, I went back to my room first.

When Lu Xiao returned, he didn't see her by the fire pit. He went straight into the room and saw his little girl sitting on the kang (a heated brick bed), her eyes red.

Did you suffer a great injustice?

Lu Xiao stepped forward.

"what happened?"

"Who bullied our Niannian?"

Qiao Nian, who doesn't like to show her emotions in front of her parents, no longer needs to deliberately hold back in front of her husband.

She whimpered as she wiped away her tears, "I just feel so sorry for Master and Master's wife."

Her parents were reported by their own brother, which she felt was alright.

But she couldn't accept that her master and mistress had been driven to this state by their own son.

Especially since I'm about to become a mother myself.

The thought that her unborn child might one day report her parents to the authorities made her furious.

Lu Xiao...

"Near."

He reached out and held the little girl's shoulder, gently wiping away the tears on her cheeks. "Our children won't do that."

If he could, he would break their legs first.

Qiao Nian glared at him, "Don't talk nonsense."

With tears still wet on her face, she had to pretend to be fierce.

I didn't see any ferocity, only cuteness.

Lu Xiao chuckled, "Okay, I won't say anything out of line."

He reached out and gently pulled her into his arms. "Our child hasn't been born yet. It will be more than ten years before they are born and grow up."

"A decade or so from now, society will be completely different. Let's not worry about the unknown future, okay?"

In fact, Lu Xiao felt that this situation would eventually be lifted.

Society will not stagnate like this.

Qiao Nian also felt the same way.

She whined and threw a little tantrum in Lu Xiao's arms for a while, then suddenly looked up at the man in front of her.

"Lu Xiao."

"Ok?"

"Do you think our baby might be a monster?"

Lu Xiao?
