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

Chapter 72 She's the most important person in the family.
What do you mean by "uncomfortable"?
Lin Zhen really likes patients' family members like this.

"If you feel the baby's movements slow down, your water breaks, or you experience severe abdominal pain or diarrhea, you should go to the hospital immediately."

"Okay, okay, doctor, I've got it. I've got it all written down."

Nian Yunci nodded repeatedly.

I took the doctor's words to heart.

After the mother and daughter finished their examination, they left the obstetrics and gynecology department.

After asking Li Ruihua her questions, Grandma Song waited for the mother and daughter at the hospital entrance. When she saw them come out, she quickly went up to them.

"How is everything going, Niannian?"

Grandma Song is a very kind person; she genuinely cares about Qiao Nian.

Qiao Nian smiled and nodded, "Dr. Lin said everything is fine, and I just need to be careful at home."

"Hey, that's good, that's good."

Grandma Song was genuinely happy for Qiao Nian.

The three of them walked home slowly together.

Lu Xiao went on a mission, leaving only Qiao Nian's parents at home. Her father went to school during the day, and her mother didn't dare to go out. They stayed at home every day, keeping an eye on their daughter.

The plot of land they were allocated was quite far away, and if they wanted to go to the field to check on the planted crops, they could only wait for Qiao Guowen to go.

Nian Yunci dared not go out.

At night, she even moved into her daughter's room, set up a small couch, and slept on the floor.

I wake up with my daughter at night and accompany her to the bathroom.

Qiao Nian felt that she could take care of herself, but her parents didn't think so.

In order not to worry her parents, she had no choice but to obey their decision.

"Mom, come and sleep on the kang (heated brick bed)."

Qiao Nian looked at her mother lying on the small couch her father had made, and she felt sorry for her. "Come and sleep on the kang (heated brick bed), it's more spacious there."

"No need, I'll just sleep on the couch. You can sleep on the kang (heated brick bed), it'll be more spacious and comfortable."

Nian Yunci didn't want to sleep on the kang with her daughter. Besides worrying about touching her daughter's belly, she also had another concern: this was her daughter and son-in-law's bed.

It's not appropriate for her to sleep on top.

Qiao Nian called her mother several times, but she didn't come up, and there was nothing she could do.

The mother and daughter slept like this for half a month.

Qiao Nian was already eight and a half months pregnant, and at this point, it was almost impossible for her to turn over in bed at night.

Moreover, symptoms she hadn't experienced before, such as leg swelling and frequent urination, became more noticeable after she entered her 35th week of pregnancy.

Qiao Nian, who originally thought everything was fine, started to miss Lu Xiao terribly at this time, wondering every day why he hadn't come back yet.

The same thing happened before I went to bed tonight.

Nian Yunci spoke a few words with her daughter and realized that her daughter's mind was not on this matter, so she went up to her and took her hand.

"Don't worry, your son-in-law will come back safely."

"He's been gone for half a month."

Lu Xiao said he would be back in half a month before he left, but it has been half a month now and he still hasn't returned.

I hope nothing bad happens to him!

Perhaps it's because I'm further along in my pregnancy, but I tend to overthink things.

Qiao Nian was sullen, and the baby in her belly seemed to sense it, moving much more gently when it did.

Qiao Nian noticed this, lowered her eyes, and placed her hand on her stomach.

Just as they were wondering when Lu Xiao would return, a sound came from outside the courtyard gate.

Immediately afterwards, Qiao Guowen's voice came through.

"The son-in-law is back."

"Mother."

Qiao Nian immediately looked up, her eyes full of smiles.

Nian Yunci also stood up with a smile, "I'll go take a look."

She quickly left her daughter's and son-in-law's room.

My son-in-law, whom I hadn't seen for half a month, looked rather weathered with a stubble beard.

Seeing this, Nian Yunci felt very distressed.

"Son-in-law, put your things down and go rest. I'll go get you something to eat."

"Thank you, Mom."

Lu Xiao put his backpack in the empty room in the middle, went out to wash his hands, feet and face, and then went into his and his wife's bedroom.

Qiao Nian sat on the kang (a heated brick bed) leaning against the quilt. When she saw the man, who had lost some weight, come in, she hummed twice, "I thought you were going to take a shower before coming in."

Lu Xiao chuckled, "I just got out of the car, all dusty and tired. I don't want to smell bad on my wife and baby." He really wanted to take a shower before coming in.

But there were no clothes outside.

"Honey, shall I go take a shower?"

A man who is decisive and ruthless in the outside world, taking down enemies with a single shot, is incredibly kind and attentive to his wife.

Even something as simple as taking a bath requires him to ask his wife first.

Qiao Nian grumbled, "Daddy's keeping the water hot, you should go take a bath."

"Washing with cold water is fine."

"I'll come see my wife and kids after I've washed up."

Lu Xiao stepped forward, making sure his clothes didn't touch his wife, but he still kissed her.

Qiao Nian found the stubble on her beard a bit unpleasant.

"Go away, hurry up."

Lu Xiao took some clean clothes and went inside to wash up.

Qiao Nian slowly got off the kang (a heated brick bed), supporting her belly with one hand and her waist with the other, and walked from the corridor to the kitchen.

As her belly grew bigger, every place in their house where she could walk was kept clean, and there was absolutely nothing that could block Qiao Nian's way.

Qiao Guowen and Nian Yunci put away all the stools and other items that might trip someone.

Qiao Nian went to the kitchen and saw her mother cooking noodles.

"Mom, put in more eggs and some beef."

She still had beef in her storage space, so she took out a piece and put it in a bowl next to her.

A piece of beef about the size of a palm, very tender.

When Qiao Guowen came in and saw this, he suggested that they stir-fry it.

Anyway, stir-frying beef doesn't take much time.

Conversely, stir-fried beef with noodles is more fragrant.

The son-in-law worked very hard on the mission, and when he came back, they all wanted him to have some extra nourishment.

Qiao Nian had no objections.

Qiao Guowen then went to cut the beef.

Soon, the aroma of noodles and stir-fried beef wafted from the kitchen.

Lu Xiao took a shower and shaved his beard clean before coming out of the bathroom.

Although he had lost some weight, after cleaning up his face, he regained his handsome Lu Xiao appearance.

Not seeing his wife in the room, he went out to the kitchen.

On the kitchen table, there was a large bowl of noodles and a bowl of fragrant stir-fried beef.

His parents-in-law had already gone back to their room, leaving only his wife waiting for him.

Lu Xiao stepped forward with a smile on his face.

Are Mom and the others asleep?

"Yes, I just finished cooking and I'm going to take a shower."

After Qiao Nian finished speaking, she urged Lu Xiao to eat quickly, "Hurry up and eat your noodles, or they'll clump together."

Lu Xiao nodded and sat down on the stool. "Does Niannian want to eat something?"

"No."

She ate a big meal last night and isn't hungry yet.

I ate too much, so I rarely got up to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night.

She hadn't originally intended to eat, but seeing Lu Xiao enjoying his meal so much, she couldn't help but move her lips.

"I……"

Before she could even open her mouth to say anything, Lu Xiao picked up a piece of beef and fed it to her.

"The beef smells delicious, honey, would you like to try some?"

Qiao Nian...

Fine, since he's so enthusiastic, it wouldn't be appropriate for her to refuse.

Qiao Nian smiled and swallowed the beef in her mouth.

The beef stir-fried by Dad was delicious.

"Lu Xiao, I want to eat another piece."

Qiao Nian pointed to the beef, asking Lu Xiao to feed her another piece.

Lu Xiao was naturally happy to feed his wife.

In addition to beef, I also fed her a fried egg.
