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

Chapter 27: The internal fire is burning fiercely!

"Those few herbs, and your uncle's medical treatment, it was just... just a small favor..."

Wang Xueqin always felt that what they had given was only a small amount.

Something convenient.

Qiao Nian then advised, "Auntie, you're wrong to say that. Uncle's medical skills are priceless."

"He can save lives with just a few needles. With such unparalleled medical skills, all we can do to repay him is a bag of biscuits and a bottle of malted milk powder. We should be the ones feeling nervous and embarrassed."

Nian Yunci nodded in agreement, agreeing with her daughter.

Qiao Guowen also took the opportunity to tell Li Ruihua to let them accept the gifts.

Lu Xiao meant the same thing.

In the end, Wang Xueqin could only accept this precious item, which she hadn't seen in a very long time, with trembling hands.

The family sat here for a while.

Li Ruihua took Qiao Nian's pulse again to confirm that the baby in her womb had not been affected by today's accident.

After taking his pulse, she examined Lu Xiao again.

"If you have some internal heat, you should drink more of the medicine you've prepared."

Li Ruihua spoke up.

Lu Xiao nodded.

After sitting there for a while, the Qiao family returned to the neighboring courtyard.

Before leaving, Nian Yunci told Wang Xueqin to eat the biscuits, candy, and malted milk powder as soon as possible.

"Nobody knows when those people will arrive."

It's obvious who those people she's referring to are.

Wang Xueqin was afraid whenever she heard about those people.

"take note of it."

"I'll make it in a bit, and Lao Li and I will each have a bowl."

Nian Yunci nodded and patted Wang Xueqin's hand, "That's right, food is only truly yours once it's in your stomach."

"I know, I know."

Given the circumstances, Wang Xueqin naturally knew that good things should be consumed as soon as possible.

Back inside, Qiao Nian took out the opened malted milk powder and made a bowl for each of the four people.

Lu Xiao was about to say he wouldn't eat when Qiao Nian rolled her eyes at him and shut his mouth.

Okay, nowadays in the family, the wife is in charge.

If you let him eat, he will eat.

After finishing the malted milk powder, Lu Xiao drank a large bowl of boiled Chinese herbal medicine.

Then I went to fetch water to wash Qiao Nian's face and feet.

Qiao Nian needs to wipe her body.

He carried the bucket of water into the house with one hand.

He'd only been back a short while, and there had been a five-year gap between them. Yet, Lu Xiao was able to take care of Qiao Nian with effortless ease, as if he had no teacher.

A small shower room was built in the backyard. People usually go there to shower and dry off, so they don't have to bother with anything else.

Qiao Nian took off her tattered cotton-padded coat, revealing a brand-new wool sweater underneath.

She took off her sweater, revealing a thermal undershirt underneath, and under that, her vest.

Qiao Nian was washing up inside the house while Lu Xiao stood guard outside.

My parents have already gone back to their room.

Once the sound of water inside stopped, Lu Xiao knocked on the door and went inside.

Qiao Nian had already changed into her pajamas, which her mother had hastily made using silk left by her grandmother.

The beautiful pink fabric with subtle patterns is not only soft and smooth, but also not too thin, making it the perfect size to wear.

When Lu Xiao came in, she was already on the kang (a heated brick bed).

Lu Xiao looked at the pretty girl on the kang (a heated brick bed), and his throat felt a little hoarse.

He took the water out and poured it into the ditch. After he went inside, he also fetched water to wash up.

After washing up, Lu Xiao went inside.

Qiao Nian had already applied the face cream and was lying in bed.

The dim candlelight illuminated her small face, which glowed faintly like the finest mutton fat jade.

Lu Xiao placed the clothes she had taken off at the end of the kang (a heated brick bed).

Then slowly take off your clothes.

"what are you doing?"

Qiao Nian pulled the blanket tighter, her eyes showing some wariness. "I'm pregnant."

Lu Xiao was amused by her expression.

He teased her on purpose, "Comrade Qiao Nian, please don't forget that we are a legally married couple, and you have an obligation to fulfill the responsibilities of a wife."

"What responsibility? Get out of here."

Qiao Nian got up and was about to hit him with a pillow.

Lu Xiao smiled, grabbed the pillow, and pulled the person down to his body.

Qiao Nian wanted to punch him.

"Ouch... my arm hurts."

Lu Xiao spoke up.

Qiao Nian withdrew her raised fist. Lu Xiao smiled triumphantly, and the next second, Qiao Nian's fingers pinched his face.

Don't punch his shoulder, but don't spare his face either.

"pain……"

Lu Xiao cried out in pain again.

I don't know if it's real or just an act.

Qiao Nian snorted, and her strength was reduced somewhat.

Lu Xiao seized the opportunity to seal her lips with his...

dog man.

Qiao Nian angrily bit him.

As for his question about how he felt about explaining his broken lip to his parents, that's his problem.

As long as she doesn't admit it, no one will know that she was the one who bit it.

It doesn't matter if she knows, she won't admit it anyway.

The two joked around for a while until Qiao Nian softened into a puddle of spring water, and Lu Xiao's body was so tense that it seemed like a string about to break, before they finally separated.

He lay flat on the kang (a heated brick bed).

Calm my wildly beating heart.

"Lu Xiao."

Qiao Nian's voice was incredibly sweet.

She turned her head, her eyes, misty with tears, fixed intently on him. "Do you really believe that five years can pass in the blink of an eye?"

"Hmm? Why don't you believe me?"

Lu Xiao pulled his wife closer and kissed her forehead. "I believe everything you say."

"Lu Xiao."

Qiao Nian's voice was a little choked up. She was clutching her vest at her waist, feeling touched, when she inadvertently saw that arrogant, ugly thing.

Qiao Nian...

I can't feel any emotion at all.

She shoved the scoundrel, turned her back to him, and said, "Stay away from me."

"Nian Nian... Wife... Baby..."

Lu Xiao leaned close and coaxed softly, "Don't be afraid, I can control it."

"Believe it or not."

If I could control myself, I wouldn't be so arrogant.

Lu Xiao was both amused and exasperated. "Comrade Qiao Nian, you should know that this is a normal phenomenon."

If you can remain excessively calm when facing the girl you love, then you should go to the hospital for a proper checkup.

Qiao Nian still didn't turn around.

However, she didn't refuse when Lu Xiao hugged her.

The two spoke in hushed tones.

the village.

Tian Weiqiang's home.

A series of coughs came from his room.

Besides the coughing, there was also his cursing: "Those two bastards, just you wait, this matter will not be so simple to let go, it will not be left like this."

He will repay this humiliation tenfold, a hundredfold.

Footsteps came from the courtyard outside. Tian Weiqiang stopped cursing and looked at the person who came in with a look of doubt on his face.

"Tian Guangmao? What are you doing here?"

Although they are from the same village, share the same surname Tian, ​​and are members of the same clan.

However, Tian Weiqiang and Tian Guangmao did not get along.

There was no other reason; it was simply that Tian Weiqiang looked down on Tian Guangmao.

Tian Guangmao also disliked Tian Weiqiang.

However, he came to see him today because he had something to discuss.

"Brother Qiang, I heard you got injured in the mountains, so I came to see you."

Tian Guangmao placed the two ounces of meat he had brought on the table.

Tian Weiqiang glanced at it and then looked away.

"Guangmao is very thoughtful."

"Hehe, it's nothing, we're all brothers, it's just a small favor."

Tian Guangmao certainly didn't come specifically to visit someone in the hospital. After he started the conversation, he lowered his voice and explained his purpose.

"Brother Qiang, I heard that there are herds of wild buffalo roaming around Xiongxiazigou."

"The New Year is just around the corner..."

He didn't finish his sentence.

However, Tian Weiqiang understood what he meant.

With Tian Guangmao's appearance, he actually wants to go to Xiongxiazigou to eat wild buffalo?

That wild buffalo weighs two or three hundred pounds, can he really eat it?

That concludes today's update. Updates will resume at 8:00 AM tomorrow.
