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

Chapter 26 His wife wanted to kick him out.

"Lu Xiao, do you know what this means?"

Qiao Nian's gaze fell on his face.

His deep-set features remained unchanged, but the hard lines of his profile softened when she looked at him.

“I will apply to my superiors. The military region is quite different from other places.”

The military region appreciates and needs truly talented individuals.

Lu Xiao's serious demeanor made it clear that he wasn't joking or making empty promises.

Qiao Nian glanced at him, then looked away after a while.

No wonder the book says that Chen Jing would like him.

Someone like Lu Xiao, who is tall and has long legs, is rough around the edges but is responsible, intelligent, and grateful, still has a certain degree of competitiveness.

Qiao Nian grumbled to herself, thinking that no matter how competitive she was, it was useless.

He is her man.

After dinner, Lu Xiao was about to wash the dishes, but Qiao Guowen took over the task.

Let him get some rest.

"Dad, are you alright? Should we ask Uncle Li to take a look at you?" Qiao Nian asked, looking at the busy Qiao Guowen.

She was so focused on angering Lu Xiao that she forgot her father had also been stepped on by Tian Weiqiang.

And Dad even fell down.

He's getting old after all...

"I am fine."

Qiao Guowen replied with a smile.

Qiao Nian was still worried.

Nian Yunci was also worried.

"How about we ask Professor Li to take a look?" Nian Yunci suggested.

Qiao Nian nodded and prepared to take out some things from her spatial storage as a thank-you gift.

"I brought back some brown sugar. Please give a pound to your aunt."

Lu Xiao made the suggestion.

He opened the duffel bag he had brought back, and inside were two cans of malted milk powder, two packets of brown sugar, two packets of White Rabbit candy, some biscuits and snacks, two jars of fruit, and a dried chicken.

He only had one set of clothes to change into, which was pitifully crammed into a corner.

Seeing this, Nian Yunci felt very distressed.

"You've spent all your money on this, haven't you? You always bring so much stuff back with you."

Lu Xiao smiled and said, "It's okay, Mom. Money is meant to be spent."

He didn't spend much money.

Qiao Nian glanced at the contents of the bag, then looked at Lu Xiao.

"Mom, take Dad over first."

"well."

Nian Yunci called Qiao Guowen, insisting that they go next door to find Li Ruihua.

Qiao Guowen had no choice but to agree.

There was nothing he could do; his wife and daughters were his lifeblood, and he listened to them the most.

The couple first took a pound of brown sugar over.

Qiao Nian asked Lu Xiao to take out a bag of sandwich cookies and a can of malted milk powder.

"Give that to your aunt too, she's gotten so thin."

Lu Xiao had no objections or reluctance.

After taking the items out, Qiao Nian put everything in the bag except the clothes into her spatial storage.

Lu Xiao looked at her with a faint smile in his eyes.

Qiao Nian looked up and met his smile.

For some reason, she felt a little embarrassed.

He tugged at his tattered cotton-padded coat and explained, "Too much food will attract unwanted attention, so I'm putting it away just in case."

"No need to explain."

Lu Xiao stepped forward and took her hand, saying, "You're in charge at home."

Qiao Nian snorted. Who's going to make the decisions?
The two of them came out of the house and walked to the next room.

"Are you alright?" Darkness can conceal one's expression, making one more daring.

Qiao Nian's voice rang out softly in the darkness.

Lu Xiao also softly agreed that it was alright.

The two of them walked very slowly.

Despite being very close, the two of them moved away as slowly as turtles.

It wasn't that we agreed to take it slow; we just wanted to slow down.

The young couple didn't say anything particularly affectionate, but the feeling between them was one of sweet intimacy.

"That guy from last night, Nian Nian said she had a way to deal with him?" Lu Xiao asked her.

Qiao Nian nodded, "Yes, when I went to the mountains with my dad to collect firewood before, we encountered them who smelled of blood. They must have been poaching in the mountains."

Poaching now is undermining socialism.

Qiao Nian believed that Tian Weiqiang and his group had definitely done this more than once or twice; they must do it frequently.

As long as they report to the police or the committee, and the police keep an eye on these people, they will eventually find evidence of their crimes.

Even if they are spared the death penalty by then, they will still have to spend decades in prison.

If they find anything else, it will be even more serious.

Lu Xiao nodded.

"Besides bullying you and Dad today, have they bullied you before?"

“I don’t know about my dad’s side, but I’ve had a conflict with him today since I came here.”

Qiao Nian told Lu Xiao the reason for the conflict.

Lu Xiao's eyes darkened, a murderous glint flashing within them.

He took a moment to calm down.

"Near."

"What?"

"After the New Year, when I go back to my post, will you come back with me?"

Lu Xiao was somewhat unsure.

They asked the question very cautiously.

Qiao Nian blinked.

"You're not going back until after the New Year?"

She was simply shocked that Lu Xiao had such a long vacation.

But to Lu Xiao, these words sounded as if she couldn't wait for him to leave.

I feel incredibly heartbroken.

His wife, whom he hadn't seen for five years, complained the moment they met that he'd been staying home too long...

"Niannian, I was injured during this mission..."

"I saw."

"I need to rest at home and recover properly."

Lu Xiao continued speaking.

Qiao Nian...

"There's nothing here, not even a hospital. What are you resting here for?"

If you really need to recover from an injury, you should at least go to a place with better medical facilities.

Lu Xiao didn't care.

“My wife is here, my child is here, so naturally I am here too.”

Fine, he just wants to stay anyway.

Qiao Nian ignored him.

Right now, we definitely need him at home.

"There's no medicine here. If your injury takes a long time to heal, don't blame me."

"will not."

After the young couple finished speaking, they finally arrived at the Li family's door.

Pushing open the slightly ajar door, they went inside and heard voices coming from within. The two glanced at each other, and Qiao Nian withdrew her hand.

Lu Xiao squeezed his fingers, savoring the softness of her palm.

The two went inside.

Li Ruihua examined Qiao Guowen and found that apart from being a little weak, he didn't have any other major problems.

The Qiao family breathed a sigh of relief.

Lu Xiao handed the malted milk powder and biscuits to Wang Xueqin.

Upon seeing this, Wang Xueqin waved her hands repeatedly, her face turning pale with fright.

"No, we can't accept this. This is too valuable. Please take it back immediately."

"Auntie, it's just a bottle of malted milk powder and a pack of biscuits. It wasn't anything expensive back then. Please accept it."

Qiao Nian said from the side.

Wang Xueqin still refused.

Nian Yunci has already brought so much brown sugar, how could they possibly accept such a valuable gift?

Qiao Nian knew what Wang Xueqin was thinking, and she said with a smile, "Auntie, you're being so polite to us, so we won't dare to ask Uncle for medical treatment after that."

"We dare not let Uncle treat Lu Xiao's injuries, and we can only return the herbs Uncle gave us."

Wang Xueqin looked troubled, "This...this..."
