Chapter 84 Things Will Get Better
Lu Xiao opened his eyes and smiled at his wife, "It's okay, I did it secretly, it won't be discovered."

"I wouldn't dare wear it out, would I? People would report me, wouldn't they?"

"fine."

Lu Xiao simply sat up and embraced his wife, saying, "These days won't last long. Sooner or later, they will end."

He believed that he could bring it whenever he wanted.

Will that day really come?

Qiao Nian was puzzled.

Lu Xiao nodded, giving his wife confidence in the future.

"Will do."

"it is good."

She believed Lu Xiao's words.

In addition, she now has her own space, so even if she can't wear the bracelet, she can put it in her space.

No one will find out.

"Thank you so much, I really like the New Year's gift."

"Hmm? Niannian just says thank you verbally?"

Lu Xiao pushed his luck.

Qiao Nian...

"That's not a gift, it's compensation for last night."

"Because of you, I woke up this late on the very first day of the year. I'm going to enjoy sleeping in all year."

There's a saying that people shouldn't sleep in on the first day of the Lunar New Year.

If you start sleeping in late, you'll make yourself like sleeping in late all year round.

Lu Xiao wanted to laugh as he listened to his wife's words, but he had to consider his wife's feelings and couldn't make a sound.

"What?"

His attempt to suppress a laugh finally caught Qiao Nian's attention. "Are you laughing at me?"

"No, honey, I didn't."

Lu Xiao wanted to swear to the heavens that he really didn't laugh at her.

He just thought that even if his wife didn't sleep in on the first day of the Lunar New Year, she didn't usually get up early...

Qiao Nian also knew what her husband was thinking.

She grumbled and ignored him.

I can't sleep now, so I'm just talking quietly with my husband.

Outside, snow was falling heavily and the wind was biting cold, but Qiao Nian had no plans to go out.

The family compound is full of military personnel's families, and it's not customary to visit each other for the New Year here.

It's not that it's not popular, but it's just that since everyone is in a superior-subordinate or colleague relationship, it's inappropriate to exchange New Year's greetings or similar gestures.

Therefore, Lu Xiao did not go to pay New Year's visits.

He stays at home with his wife, taking care of the children.

It wasn't until late afternoon that Dad and Mom returned from their outing.

At this time, Lu Xiao was already in the kitchen preparing dinner.

When Qiao Nian saw her parents coming over, she asked them why they hadn't invited their master and mistress over for dinner.

"We called them, but they said they weren't coming today."

"It's the first day of the Lunar New Year, and it must be so lonely for just the two of them at home. I'll go and call them over for dinner."

As Qiao Nian spoke, she went out the door, rode Lu Xiao's bicycle, and went to the hospital's family compound to call someone.

Nian Yunci and Qiao Guowen washed their hands and went inside to see their grandson.

The siblings Lu Zihe and Lu Zijun were overjoyed to see their grandmother and reached out to hug her, babbling incoherently.

They were making little noises on the kang (a heated brick bed), seemingly trying to climb, but they hadn't quite learned how yet.

He tilted his body and collapsed onto the kang (a heated brick bed).

Fortunately, there was a soft mattress on the kang (heated brick bed), otherwise both of them would have gotten bumps on their heads.

The two children didn't cry even after falling; they kept reaching out to their grandmother. Clearly, they missed her after not seeing her for a day.

Although they can't speak yet, they still express themselves through actions.

…………

Qiao Nian rode her bike to the hospital's family compound and saw her master and his wife preparing to cook. She invited them to her home for a meal.

"Lu Xiao has already cooked it."

Wang Xueqin was already preparing to wash the rice when Qiao Nian came over, saying that the meal was ready. The couple had no choice but to go with Qiao Nian.

"If we eat at your house all day, how much food would that take?"

Wang Xueqin was very worried.

Qiao Nian told his teacher's wife not to worry, it was nothing serious.

“Master’s wife, don’t worry. Even if you and Master eat at our house for every meal, we have more than enough food.”

"Hey, you kid."

Wang Xueqin felt somewhat helpless, thinking that her husband's apprentice was too generous.

"Can't you save a little money?"

Other families are trying to save every last drop of food, but Nian Nian is different; she calls them out to eat every single day.

They really don't know how to save money!

Wang Xueqin was worried for Qiao Nian, but also relieved that they hadn't misjudged her; Nian Nian really was a very good girl.

Although they call them Master and Mistress, they actually treat them like their own parents.

In the fall, I made each of them a thin padded jacket and autumn pants. In the winter, I made them a thick padded jacket.

The thick coat was stuffed with a lot of cotton, making it heavy to carry, and very warm to wear.

The thick cotton-padded coats they are wearing now were made for them by a tailor in the family compound before the Lunar New Year, which Qiao Nian had asked to make for them.

They received a padded jacket before the Lunar New Year two years ago, and they received them again last autumn and winter.

In the year since they met Niannian, the couple has received more new clothes than they have in the previous five years.

The two were deeply moved.

He secretly decided to leave all his family property to Niannian.

Yes, although the couple is penniless now, they still have some assets in Beijing.

Once they are able to return, they will find an opportunity to transfer their family property to Qiao Nian.

It's absolutely impossible for their unfilial son to want their inheritance.

Qiao Nian was unaware of what her master and mistress were thinking. She pushed her bicycle and walked home with them.

The master and apprentice were talking about medical topics, and Wang Xueqin listened with a smile, without interrupting their conversation.

They quickly returned home, where Lu Xiao had already prepared all the dishes, and their father had also helped set the table. They could eat again.

These few days of the Lunar New Year are supposed to be a holiday, but with the cold weather, we can only stay at home eating, drinking, chatting and joking to pass the time.

After the holiday, the weather was still just as cold, but since we were back at work, we couldn't just eat and drink all day anymore.

When you have things to do, time seems to pass faster.

Qiao Nian works in the clinic every day, from Monday to Saturday, and goes to get off work on time. On Sunday, she sleeps in all day at home, then gets up to eat and play with her child.

Time passed slowly in this orderly rhythm.

It feels like just yesterday that my child turned one year old.

The grass grows tall and the orioles fly; spring is warm and the flowers are in bloom.

As the weather warmed up, the babies wore fewer clothes, and by the time they were dressed in light summer clothes, they were already able to toddle around on the ground.

Whenever he has time, Song Junbao from next door comes over to play with his younger siblings.

He would play until his grandma called him home for dinner, then reluctantly run back home, eat, and then run back to play with his younger siblings.

Both Nian Yunci and Qiao Nian knew that Chen Chunya was trying to conceive, so they didn't try to amuse Song Junbao by saying things like "Let Mom have a younger brother or sister" to keep the child company.

They are all respectable people; they wouldn't do something like deliberately reopening old wounds.

However, just because they can't do it doesn't mean others can't.

Qiao Nian and her mother were watching their child learn to walk in the yard when they heard crying and insults coming from outside.
