1970s: My childhood sweetheart ran away, and I turned around and married the wildest chief.

Lu Mingzhou carefully observed Qiao Wanqing's expression. "I already know about Third Sister-in-law's situation. I specifically told my mother not to let anyone who likes to cause trouble come over, so as not to make things awkward for everyone. My mother didn't let Third Sister-in-law come, but she secretly ran onto the train by herself. My mother and the others only found out that she was coming after they got on the train, so they had no choice but to bring her along."

"I'll have my third brother take her home after the wedding, don't be angry!"

Qiao Wanqing shrugged, saying nonchalantly, "I wouldn't say I was angry, but I retaliated on the spot. I kicked each of your three troublesome nephews in the butt, and they cried their eyes out!"

Lu Mingzhou smiled and hugged her. "Let them cry. You're their aunt, it's only right that you discipline them for being so ignorant."

"It's late, go to sleep early!"

The next afternoon, Qiao Wanqing prepared a large table of delicious food. The aroma wafted far and wide, making a group of children drool with envy. However, at this time, the children from the third branch of the family had all gone out to play, including Chen Yulian, who also went out. They had just arrived here, and everything was new and exciting.

Without those troublemakers around, Qiao Wanqing could cook comfortably at home, especially with the help of her mother-in-law, sister-in-law, and aunt.

Today, the big rooster that her mother-in-law brought over was killed, but a portion was kept to make soup for Lu Mingzhou, which contained spiritual spring water. The rest was braised.

Lu Mingzhou rushed back home for lunch today because some people came to visit. Before he even entered the house, he smelled a delicious aroma. Seeing a group of children across the street trying to inhale the fragrance, he smiled and thought to himself, "My wife makes the kids drool every day."

Upon entering the courtyard, the fragrance was indeed even stronger.

Qiao Wanqing happened to come out and saw Lu Mingzhou, smiling, "You're back! Dinner's ready, are you hungry?"

I remember Lu Mingzhou having a big appetite; he was always hungry when he came home from get off work.

Lu Mingzhou smiled and said, "I am indeed hungry. What delicious food have you made?"

Qiao Wanqing nodded, "I stewed some sea snails for you and Dad to have with your drinks. I bought these at the dock beforehand. Things are very cheap at the dock; all these sea snails only cost one yuan."

She cooked two large pots, and now she's ladling them into bowls to cool. They'll be delicious with the seasonings later.

Lu Mingzhou looked down. The basin was full and steaming. One yuan didn't sound like much, but nobody ate this stuff.

It looks like a big bowl, but the shells are actually quite large, there's hardly any meat, and it's very fishy. Without enough oil and seasoning, it's not tasty at all.

One yuan can buy almost a pound and a half of meat. Who would spend money to buy such things?

Only this little girl likes it.

However, Lu Mingzhou didn't care. He knew before he married Qiao Wanqing that she had grown up in a pampered environment, and he could afford to support her with this amount of money. Besides, the food she made was indeed delicious!

"Just leave it there, I'll take care of it later. Let's eat first."

The food was all taken to the main room, leaving only Qiao Wanqing and Lu Mingzhou in the kitchen. When Lu Mingzhou saw Qiao Wanqing bring out a small pot of chicken soup, he took a sip and the delicious aroma hit him right in the head. Is chicken soup this good these days?

"It smells so good? Is it herbs?"

Qiao Wanqing nodded, "Yes, it's to help you recover."

"I'm in good health, you don't need to go to so much trouble..." Lu Mingzhou paused, "Have you been cooking all these delicious meals for me these past few days just to help me recover?"

Qiao Wanqing blinked. "Yes!"

Lu Mingzhou's expression was somewhat puzzled. These past few days, Qiao Wanqing had indeed fed him a lot of delicious food, saying it was to help him regulate his body. He felt that his energy had been getting better and better recently, and he had inexhaustible strength. At first, he was very happy, but after it continued like this, he suddenly wondered if his wife was disgusted with him.

"I'm in great health, I don't need to take supplements every day, and I smell so good every day, other people have no idea how luxurious our life is."

Qiao Wanqing explained, "That's different. You just came from the battlefield, and you have many hidden injuries. If you don't take good care of them while you're young, they'll come out when you get older. I was thinking that since we don't have children yet, we don't have much pressure in our lives, and I have a lot of time, I'll take good care of you."

"If you take good care of your health, the baby you give birth to will be healthier, and a healthy baby is easier to raise."

Lu Mingzhou: "..."

I really didn't expect her to say those words.

Why does she care about him so much?

And they've even thought about having a child with him?

Lu Mingzhou was immediately filled with secret joy; Wanwan wanted to have a child with him.

He immediately began to wonder whether their baby would look like him or her.

He gulped down the chicken soup in the bowl, not a drop left, and even ladled out another bowl for himself.

Qiao Wanqing: "..."

Lu Mingzhou devoutly drank all the chicken soup in the bowl, even chewing and swallowing the herbs. Qiao Wanqing suppressed a laugh and stopped him, saying, "Alright, you're too full. There are still two bowls in the jar. Drink them when you get back tonight."

Lu Mingzhou then gave up.

After lunch, Qiao Wanqing prepared to pick up her aunt and younger sister, but before she could leave, a young soldier came to tell her that the train station had called and said she didn't need to go to pick them up; they would have to wait a while and someone would take them back.

Qiao Wanqing was taken aback. What was going on?

However, since the notification had arrived, she waited at home for more than three hours before the group finally returned. They were brought back in a police car, and they seemed very grateful to their aunt and her group, or more precisely, to their eldest cousin.

Her older cousin! Well… I don’t know what to say!

This guy is a workaholic, so it was rare for him to have time to come to her wedding. Qiao Wanqing was very touched. He was her uncle's eldest son. When he was young, his uncle and aunt were both very busy, so his grandmother took care of him. He learned to be a very refined and cultured intellectual from his grandfather. Later, when he returned to his parents' side, he always followed his uncle around. Within two years, he had become quite the rascal. His grandparents had complained countless times that his uncle had corrupted their precious grandson.

The once well-behaved and sensible little boy turned into a mischievous monkey who jumped around all day. As the older cousin grew up, his thuggishness became more and more intense. He was invincible in the compound and was always the scourge of the entire compound, making the parents both gratified and grit their teeth.

As soon as her aunt got off the train, she collapsed onto her. "Sweetie, take me to rest. I need to lie down. Your older brother is such a handful! My goodness, this train journey was absolutely thrilling. My heart was pounding the whole time. It was like he was either catching spies or human traffickers. It was awful! I need to sleep!"

Qiao Wanqing: "..."
