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

Chapter 51 The First Reunion Year
Let's not talk about setting off firecrackers or putting up couplets.

They should at least prepare a plentiful meal.

Qiao Nian had no objection.

"Mom, let's steam some white flour buns and cook a big pot of white rice."

"Okay, Mom will prepare the dough."

Nian Yunci agreed.

"Then I'll talk to my teacher's wife later and ask her to come and help my mother make steamed buns."

"it is good."

After the family finished talking, Qiao Nian took out all the food she was going to cook.

It was placed on the cabinet to the side.

She took out about seven or eight pounds of high-gluten flour from her spatial storage and asked Nian Yunci to make more steamed buns today.

We can make more during the Chinese New Year.

Besides having a good meaning, you can also send some to your master and his family next door.

Nian Yunci smiled and agreed.

"When is our son-in-law going back? We'll prepare some food for him to eat on the way."

"Mom, no need to trouble yourself, I'll leave in the second year of junior high."

The second day of the Chinese New Year, which is the day after tomorrow.

Qiao Nian, who had been smiling, paused for a moment upon hearing these words.

When Lu Xiao first arrived, he thought his vacation was really long, lasting more than a month, and he wouldn't return to the army until after the New Year.

Now that Lu Xiao's return to his unit is fast approaching, Qiao Nian feels as if it's only been a blink of an eye...

"Niannian, don't be sad. Your son-in-law has gone back and made arrangements. He'll come to pick you up soon."

Nian Yunci comforted Qiao Nian.

Qiao Nian quickly snapped out of her thoughts, "No, who said I was sad?"

She refused to admit that she couldn't bear to part with Lu Xiao, saying, "It's just that he went back to the army, and there's no one to help us gather firewood anymore."

"You……"

Nian Yunci looked at her daughter with some helplessness, deciding not to dwell on her little mood.

Anyway, with her son-in-law around, he'll be able to appease her daughter.

After Lu Xiao finished preparing the chicken, he went on to prepare the cured meat and beef...

After they finished packing, Lu Xiao went to the village to pick up the fish he had ordered.

Seeing that the weather was nice outside, Qiao Nian went out with Lu Xiao to visit the village.

Let's see what it's like to celebrate the New Year in the village.

Lu Xiao naturally did not refuse.

Although it wasn't snowing outside, the temperature was still quite low, so Qiao Nian needed to bring a hat and scarf before going out.

Qiao Nian took out a gray scarf from her spatial storage.

"Lu Xiao, bend down."

She made Lu Xiao bend down so she could help him put on his scarf.

Lu Xiao looked at the scarf in her hand, his eyes filled with joy, "Did Niannian knit this for me?"

"What's wrong? You don't like my cooking?"

She admitted that her skills weren't very good at first, but she unraveled all the mistakes in the scarf she knitted for Lu Xiao and re-knitted it.

If Lu Xiao dares to complain again, she will stop knitting scarves for him.

My plan to knit him a sweater has been put on hold indefinitely.

"No, the scarf that Nian Nian knitted is very beautiful."

Lu Xiao gently stroked the scarf around his neck, feeling warmth not only in his body but also in his heart.

He took his wife's hand in his other hand and kissed it.

"I'm just worried that Niannian will get tired."

"You're carrying two children and still have to study medicine every day; you must be exhausted."

One particularly good thing about a husband who is your childhood sweetheart is that he knows his wife completely inside and out.

His daughter, Niannian, has always been a pampered little thing who drinks soda and always makes him carry the bottle. Now, she's pregnant and studying medicine, and she still has to find time to knit scarves for him. He's genuinely worried that she'll get exhausted.

Qiao Nian snorted, "If you know I'm tired, then cherish the scarf I knitted for you and don't lose it."

"it is good."

The couple talked for a while before leaving home together to go to the village.

The fish that Lu Xiao mentioned were caught and sold by the production brigade.

There is a fishpond in the brigade, where fish are raised. Every year during the Spring Festival, the fish are harvested from the pond.

Some of it was sold, and some was given to the members of the brigade. Everyone had been busy all year, and it wouldn't be good if the team members didn't have any meat to nourish their bodies.

Throughout the year, villagers hand over their grain and pigs to the government. Their private plots only yield cabbages and radishes, and the chickens they raise are strictly regulated—each family is only allowed to keep two.

Under such circumstances, the fish in the brigade's fishpond were the villagers' greatest hope.

Lu Xiao ordered a fish that weighed about five pounds.

The large, long black fish was strung on a straw rope, and even after it had been out of the water for a while, it was still slapping its tail.

It's still struggling to survive!
"Lu Xiao, how are we going to eat this fish?"

Qiao Nian looked at the big black fish and felt a little hungry.

Thinking about how to eat the fish.

"Should I fry some fish for Nian Nian later?"

Lu Xiao made the suggestion.

"Okay!"

"Can you cook?"

Qiao Nian was very happy.

Lu Xiao's thin lips curled up slightly, "If you can't cook, how will you feed our little glutton Niannian?"

"I'm not a little glutton, I'm pregnant, it's the babies who want to eat."

Qiao Nian resolutely denied that she was a glutton.

If Lu Xiao dares to say anything more nonsense, she'll pinch him!
The man, 'threatened' by his wife's gaze, chuckled and admitted that he was the one who was craving food.

"Comrade Qiao Nian."

A voice sounded from the side, and Qiao Nian looked up and saw that it was Tian Hu.

She blinked suspiciously. What did Tian Hu want with her?
Tian Hu asked shyly, "Comrade Qiao Nian, may I have a word with you?"

Qiao Nian looked at Lu Xiao again.

Lu Xiao nodded slightly, and she nodded in agreement. "Okay, what do you want to tell me?"

"that……"

Tian Hu was a little embarrassed, and his face turned red before he could even speak.

This left Qiao Nian completely bewildered.

What's going on with him?

As he was thinking, Tian Hu stammered, "I'd like to ask Comrade Qiao Nian to check on Qingqing. She seems to be feeling unwell."

"Ok?"

So, they wanted to invite her to see a doctor?

Qiao Nian thought of Zhang Qing and asked Tian Hu in confusion what illness Zhang Qing had.

Why not ask her master for help?
Tian Hu shook his head.

"She seemed a little listless. She said it was nothing, but I was just worried..."

This morning when he went out, his wife looked even more listless, and he was worried about her.

Just as he finished his work, he saw Qiao Nian coming over and asked her to help him take a look.

The reason for approaching Qiao Nian was not only that she was Li Ruihua's apprentice, but also that she was a lesbian.

If there's something your wife can't tell you, you can tell Comrade Qiao Nian.

After all, they're both women; they might be easier to talk to.

Qiao Nian agreed.

She used to think that Zhang Qing would suffer some grievances if she married Tian Hu.

Looking at it now, it's clear that Tian Hu was deeply in love with Zhang Qing.

So Zhang Qing was quite lucky. In order to take care of her father, she hastily chose a husband who, although a village man, truly cared for her.

Qiao Nian and Lu Xiao went to Tian Hu's house together.

Tian Hu was also carrying two fish and was leading the way.

"Comrade Qiao, Comrade Lu, this is our home."

As Tian Hu spoke, he pushed the door open.

"Dad, Xiaoqing, I'm back."

"Comrade Lu and Comrade Qiao Nian also came with me."

Tian Hu shouted into the house.

Zhang Qing, who was inside the room, opened the door and came out. She had only taken two steps forward when she raised her hand to cover her mouth.

He turned and ran towards the outhouse.
