Chapter 31 Prenatal Checkup: There's a Place I Really Want to Go
Lu Xiao laughed even harder.

Qiao Nian leaned against him and heard his chest trembling.

She was so angry that her teeth itched. She raised her face to prevent him from dodging and bit his chin.

"Let you laugh at me..."

After laughing and joking around for a while, Qiao Nian got a little tired, and Lu Xiao gently patted her back.

"Go to sleep."

"Um……"

Qiao Nian fell into a deep sleep in Lu Xiao's arms.

Lu Xiao looked down at his body, smiled and shook his head. For the safety of his wife and child, he could only temporarily put his brother in a difficult position.

Five years have passed, so what's another year?

Early the next morning.

Surprisingly, it wasn't snowing outside.

This is great news for those going to the county.

Qiao Nian was wearing thick clothes inside, and still had that old cotton-padded coat on her outside. She sat on the back of the bicycle that Lu Xiao had borrowed, and went to the county with him.

"Can your arms hold the handlebars?"

Before getting on the bicycle, Qiao Nian was still a little worried.

I'm afraid the wound on Lu Xiao's arm will reopen.

Lu Xiao replied that it was nothing, "Uncle Li applied the medicine powder to my wound again this morning. As long as I don't do strenuous exercise, the wound won't tear."

Li Ruihua's medicine powder is very effective.

The wound that tore open the day before yesterday was treated with medicine powder the night before last, and it healed yesterday. Today, the wound has healed even better than yesterday.

As long as he follows the doctor's advice and avoids strenuous exercise, there will be no problem.

Qiao Nian was still somewhat worried.

"How about we go to the county another day?"

"Near."

Lu Xiao turned around, looked at her and chuckled, "Don't worry about me."

Qiao Nian gave a haughty snort, "Who's worried about you?"

"I'm worried that your arm isn't fully healed, and you might lose your grip on the handlebars and fall off."

"Don't worry, honey, I'll fall down and hurt no one else but you."

"Hard to say."

Qiao Nian complained, but still got on the back of the bicycle.

With their parents' instructions and their master and mistress watching them go, they left the village and slowly headed towards the county town.

As I was leaving the village, I ran into Tian Weiqiang, who was coming in from outside the village. He and Tian Guangmao were whispering to each other, and I couldn't tell what they were talking about.

Upon seeing Lu Xiao and Qiao Nian, Tian Weiqiang stopped and looked up, greeting them with a forced smile, "Oh, isn't this a comrade from the People's Liberation Army? What, going to the county?"

"Have everything been arranged at home? In this heavy snow, if the family members aren't properly settled and get hurt, it could be hard to say what will happen."

Tian Weiqiang is threatening Qiao Nian and the others.

Lu Xiao slowly brought the bicycle to a stop.

His long legs were positioned in front of Tian Weiqiang, and a cold smile curved his lips.

His narrow eyes held a chilling killing intent.

"You better pray that my parents are okay while I'm away."

“If they lose even a single hair, I’ll chop off one of your fingers.”

Tian Weiqiang was furious. "Are you threatening me?"

"This is not a threat, it's an announcement."

There was no warmth in Lu Xiao's eyes. "A one-sided notification."

At this moment, he seemed like an emperor looking down on the world, while Tian Weiqiang was just a lowly ant at his feet.

"If you don't believe me, feel free to try!"

Without waiting for Tian Weiqiang's reaction, he rode his bicycle with Qiao Nian on the back and left the village entrance.

Tian Weiqiang stared in the direction the bicycle had gone, his eyes wide open, almost as if they were about to pop out.

"Brother Qiang."

Tian Guangmao observed for a while, his eyes darting around, before he smiled and said, "Don't take that stinky soldier seriously; his leave is always limited."

"Once he leaves, those few pieces of trash are just there for us to mold as we please, right?"

"The most urgent thing now is to get those cattle into the market so they can have a good New Year."

Tian Guangmao didn't care about the feud between Tian Weiqiang and Lu Xiao.

He only cared about whether he had money to play cards during the Chinese New Year.

As for Tian Weiqiang and Lu Xiao, who lives and who dies is none of his concern. Tian Weiqiang withdrew his gaze and looked at Tian Guangmao beside him.

Nod slowly.

"Walk."

With Lu Xiao here, it's indeed difficult for him to deal with Qiao Guowen and his group.

But once Lu Xiao leaves, those two old geezers, plus that bitch Qiao Nian, will definitely have an accident—either fall to their deaths or freeze to death at home.

It's just a matter of time; he can wait.

On the road to the county.

The road was covered in snow.

Lu Xiao rode his bicycle very slowly.

Qiao Nian was also talking to him about Tian Weiqiang.

"Judging from his expression, he won't let this go."

"Ah."

Lu Xiao spoke up, telling his wife not to worry.
"He doesn't have many good days left."

Lu Xiao will not let anyone who dares to hurt his wife and family live until the New Year.

Qiao Nian knew that Lu Xiao had a plan, so she wasn't too worried.

"That Tian Guangmao isn't a good person either."

The road to the county was still long, so she chatted with Lu Xiao about what had happened since she came to the village.

Upon hearing this, Lu Xiao nodded slightly.

"it is good."

"Ok?"

Qiao Nian asked in confusion, "What's good about it?"

Lu Xiao: "Anyone who upsets my wife will be dealt with."

Qiao Nian...

He even upset me before, so why didn't he punish him?
The couple talked as they walked, and an hour later they arrived in the county.

Lu Xiao rode his bike directly to the county hospital.

After locking the car, he gave the old man watching the cars at the entrance a dime, accepted the parking slip, and led Qiao Nian into the hospital.

There aren't many people in the hospital right now.

The main problem is that everyone is struggling financially. If it's a minor illness, people tend to stay home and wait it out. Only when it's a serious illness will they be taken to the hospital.

Moreover, certain conditions must be met to see a doctor now.

Ordinary people cannot go to the county hospital for treatment.

In short, there are many rules and regulations inside, which I won't go into detail about.

Lu Xiao took out his identification documents, his military officer's ID, a family visit letter issued by the military, and his marriage certificate to register.

After paying the fee, the two went to the obstetrics and gynecology department for a prenatal checkup.

Somewhat surprisingly, the county hospital did not take any photos.

The doctor simply asked Qiao Nian about her current condition, listened to her heartbeat with a stethoscope, measured her blood pressure, weighed her, and measured her waist circumference, and that was the end of the examination.

"no problem."

The doctor told Qiao Nian and the others, "Just come back for another check-up when you're about to give birth."

Qiao Nian smiled and agreed.

She tried to stand up, holding onto the chair, but Lu Xiao quickly helped her up, thanked the doctor, and then turned and left the obstetrics and gynecology department.

Only after leaving the hospital did the two begin to speak.

Qiao Nian pouted, somewhat displeased, "I forgot, I thought this was still Shanghai."

"It's okay. After the New Year, when we go to the military region, we'll go to the military hospital for a checkup. They have more equipment and better facilities there."

Lu Xiao comforted her.

Qiao Nian nodded.

That's all it can do now.

"Where do we go next?"

"Go to the state-run restaurant for a meal first, and then go to the supply and marketing cooperative."

Even though the check-up wasn't done properly after I came out, I still have to eat.

Qiao Nian looked at the snow piled up in the distance, then leaned closer to Lu Xiao and whispered, "There's a place I really want to go."

"Can you take me there?"
