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

Chapter 63: Going to Join the Army

This man is strangely good at these things.

Qiao Nian grumbled and glanced at him sideways before slowly turning around.

Lu Xiao was so captivated by her shy yet alluring eyes that his bones went weak, and he didn't react for a moment.

It wasn't until his wife glared at him again, signaling him to hurry up and follow that he realized what was happening. He put one hand on his wife's waist and the other to help support her belly.

"Have the children been well-behaved while I've been away from home for the past two months? Have they been fussy or bothering you?"

“They’re still in my belly, no matter how much they fuss, they can’t cause any trouble!” Qiao Nian slowly sat down on the stool with her husband’s help.

Now her belly is so big that she has to stretch her legs out when she sits down.

Not only do my legs have to be stretched out, but even when I walk, it's hard to see the insteps.

In another month, she probably won't even be able to see her toes.

Fortunately, the child has grown up, but has always been well-behaved and hasn't caused her any trouble.

She doesn't need to get up frequently at night, and her legs and feet don't swell. Apart from her big belly making her a little cumbersome, she eats and sleeps normally.

Lu Xiao nodded upon hearing this.

"It's good that there was no commotion."

After saying that, he stared at his wife's belly and pretended to be serious, telling them to be obedient. If they dared to make trouble for their mother, they would be spanked by their father when they came out.

I don't know if his threat worked or if the children just happened to wake up at that moment.
Qiao Nian's belly was bulging out with a large bulge.

Qiao Nian!!!

Lu Xiao!!!

The man, seeing his baby move inside her belly for the first time, froze, staring at Qiao Nian's stomach in shock.

Qiao Nian was amused by her husband's appearance.

"How could you be so stupid?"

"No, Niannian, did you just see that? The baby was waving at me!"

Lu Xiao looked up and asked impatiently.

Qiao Nian smiled and said, "Silly boy, just because you're their father, they feel you're here and they have to greet you, right? Wouldn't that turn our children into impolite little ones?"

She felt the baby move right after Lu Xiao returned to his unit.

Lu Xiao missed the baby's first fetal movement.

However, the moment he returned, his two children greeted him with such a commotion, showing that it's not just mothers and children who are connected at heart; fathers and children can also be connected at heart.

Qiao Nian, who was used to seeing this and didn't find it strange, couldn't convince the man who was seeing the baby's movements for the first time.

After staring at his wife's round belly for a while, he carefully placed his large hand on it.

She spoke softly to the baby in her belly.

"Babies, it's Daddy. I've come to pick you up and take you to Mommy. Be good and don't make Mommy uncomfortable."

Next door, Li Ruihua, having learned of Lu Xiao's return, also came over after seeing off a patient.

Seeing the tall man squatting in front of his apprentice, Li Ruihua smiled.

"Master."

When Qiao Nian saw her master, she wanted to kick Lu Xiao to make him get up quickly.

If you want to be close to your baby, there will be plenty of time to do so after you get home and the baby goes to sleep.

At this point, you should greet your master first.

Don't let people laugh at you.

The usually shrewd and capable man stood up like a fool, scratching his buzz cut with his big hand, and turned to call for help.

"uncle."

"Okay, let's go home first. Your parents probably don't know you're coming back today."

"it is good."

Lu Xiao helped Qiao Nian out of the office.

He turned to lock the door.

After locking the door, he continued to help his wife leave.

On the way, Lu Xiao told his wife and Li Ruihua that he was leaving the day after tomorrow morning.

Qiao Nian understood the situation and had no objections.

Li Ruihua was quite surprised to hear that Lu Xiao had found him a job at the local hospital.

“Looking for a job? Should I go to the local hospital? Can I go?” Li Ruihua’s voice was trembling, and her hands were almost out of control.

Seeing this, Qiao Nian quickly comforted her master, "Master, don't get agitated, take care of yourself, and don't forget your age."

Li Ruihua, who was initially excited, couldn't help but laugh when he heard his apprentice's playful voice.

"Yes, yes, I haven't forgotten how old I am."

At this point, he seemed to have a sudden realization: since he was already so old, he could face any storms that came his way.

"Will my going to work at the local hospital have a negative impact on you?"

Li Ruihua controlled her emotions before slowly asking the questions.

Lu Xiao's answer was definitely no.

"Uncle, don't worry. The local hospital is under the management of the military, so there won't be any problems."

After saying that, he explained that not only Li Ruihua had a job, but Qiao Guowen and Wang Xueqin had also been given suitable jobs in the area.

Tomorrow they will go to the battalion commander's office to complete the household registration transfer procedures and transfer their records to the military base. They can go there directly the day after tomorrow morning.

Lu Xiao had arranged everything, so they no longer needed to worry.

Qiao Nian and Lu Xiao returned home together. Nian Yunci and Qiao Guowen were very happy to see their son-in-law returning with their daughter.

For the first time, Nian Yunci urged her daughter to quickly bring out some meat so she could cook a good meal tonight.

"Okay, let's stew mutton for dinner tonight."

Qiao Nian took out a leg of lamb from her spatial storage and asked her mother to cook it for dinner.

"Mom, just cook one dish, mutton stew with radish, and make some pancakes and steamed buns."

"I'll go next door and tell Master and Mistress that we'll have dinner together tonight."

"Niannian, I'll be right there."

Lu Xiao quickly stopped her from moving around too much.

"You're heavy, so just sit down."

"Alright, then tell your master and mistress that you must come over."

"it is good."

Lu Xiao went next door and returned in a few minutes.

Wang Xueqin and Li Ruihua came with him.

Li Ruihua spoke with Lu Xiao, while Wang Xueqin helped with the cooking.

Wang Xueqin and Nian Yunci kneaded dough, made pancakes, and steamed buns.

Qiao Guowen washed the lamb leg meat, cut it up, put it in a large iron pot, and started stewing it over a fire.

The dough placed next to the fire pit rose quickly.

Nian Yunci used half of the dough to make steamed buns and the other half to make pancakes.

Qiao Nian watched from the sidelines, unable to offer any help.

She placed her hand on her belly, smiled, and touched it, saying, "Baby, the three of us can only sit and wait for the delicious food."

The baby in her belly probably sensed what she meant and kicked her belly again.

It seems to be a response to their mother.

Qiao Nian smiled, looking quite content.

After waiting for about an hour, dinner was ready.

The mutton and radish stewed over a high heat were so tender that the meat was soft and the soup was whitish; it looked delicious.

Add to that the crispy, fragrant pancakes made by Nian Yunci, and the sweet white steamed buns, and one person can easily drink two large bowls of mutton soup.

Everyone ate to their heart's content.

After eating and drinking her fill, Qiao Nian rubbed her stomach contentedly.

"So full."

Lu Xiao hadn't eaten anything since he set off in the morning. He was starving all day and drank three bowls of mutton soup, ate five flatbreads, and two steamed buns.

Qiao Nian stared in astonishment, her mouth agape.

As soon as Lu Xiao put down his bowl, she immediately asked him to come over.

"I want to touch your belly."
