Rebirth to a Military Marriage: Good Morning Chief

“It’s already so late. Save the trouble. How is your mom?” Zhai Yaohui asked.

Qiao Nan yawned once again. She then patted her face gently. “After I came, I let mom take two bowls of porridge and two rounds of medicine. At around six, seven o’clock in the evening, she seemed to be in quite good spirits. Tomorrow-no, when she wakes up today, she should recover a lot from her cold. Dad, wait a while. There is a lot of leftover porridge that I made for Mom. You can have them. It’s better than going hungry.”

It was one o’clock in the morning. Qiao Nan was feeling quite tired too. In the past, when she was in her own house, Qiao Nan would definitely not wake up during this time. She would be sleeping soundly.

As such, although Qiao Nan was awake, she was not willing to do anything too complicated as well. She thus scooped the porridge that was available for Zhai Yaohui.

The appliances in the house of the Zhai family were considered quite complete. In case Miao Jing were to wake up in the middle of the night hungry and wanted to eat something, Qiao Nan had placed the cooked chicken porridge in the rice cooker to keep it warm.

Hence, it was convenient and time-saving if she were to take them out for consumption now.

Qiao Nan scooped out one big bowl and one small bowl of the porridge and placed them on the table. “Dad, you can eat this. There is still some left in the rice cooker. If it is not enough, you can help yourself later.”

“Okay.” Initially, Zhai Yaohui did not wish to trouble Qiao Nan to prepare food for him in the middle of the night although his tummy was empty. However, since the food was ready-made, Zhai Yaohui would not shortchange his tummy then. After all, his daughter-in-law was being filial to him. He did not have any reason to reject her, did he? “Go back to sleep.”

“Okay, Dad. I’m going to sleep.”

At this moment, Qiao Nan did not decline further. She agreed readily and went back to her room to sleep.

It was in the middle of the night. To Zhai Yaohui, who had expended much strength, these two bowls of porridge were nothing. However, he was not willing to become too full. He had to wash up and bathe after he finished the food. It was thus unhealthy if he was too full.

As long as he had taken something, he felt at ease.

Zhai Yaohui briefly washed up. He then returned to Miao Jing and his room and lay beside her.

When he heard that Miao Jing’s breathing was not as heavy as before, and both her expression looked better, Zhai Yaohui thought as he covered himself with a blanket, ‘It was no wonder that the Chinese wish to give birth to a son so that he could marry a daughter-in-law.’

It was quite good to have an addition to the family.

The majority of the people in the Zhai family were not the type that would focus on the family. Miao Jing was not as ambitious as the other Zhai family members but she focused too much on her husband. As such, the family was lacking someone as steady as Qiao Nan.

Now that Qiao Nan appeared in the small courtyard of the Zhai family, she settled everything nicely. Not to mention Zhai Sheng, even Zhai Yaohui felt that this kind of life was quite good and such a change was for the better.

On the second day, Qiao Nan woke up early. As she still had to go to school, she certainly did not have the time to make breakfast and could only buy them.

After she bought breakfast and placed them on the table, Qiao Nan then discovered that Zhai Yaohui had already washed the two bowls that he used for the porridge yesterday. They were very clean and were placed neatly on the table.

Qiao Nan felt much better. In her previous life, each time she returned home, as long as Qiao Zijin was there, she would have to serve Qiao Zijin as though she was the latter’s mother.

Her dishes could not be too salty or bland. As long as the taste was not right, she would have to redo them until Qiao Zijin was satisfied with them.

Of course, Qiao Nan also had to pay for the wasted food. Qiao Zijin was only in charge of eating the food.

Qiao Nan wanted to take away the food that Qiao Zijin was not satisfied with. Anyway, money had already been spent. If Qiao Zijin disliked them, she could save them and eat them for a week

However, Qiao Zijin always threw them away in front of her. She would not even let Qiao Nan benefit from things that she did not want. This caused Qiao Nan to be financially tight and she could only eat instant noodles.

After Qiao Zijin finished eating and drinking, she would sit and watch television like a big boss. Qiao Nan would have to do all the household chores. This was despite the fact that Qiao Nan still had to return to the rented apartment to do some manual work until late into the night.

At the thought of those times, Qiao Nan laughed mockingly at herself. She really did not understand why Qiao Zijin would contract uremia when she had led such a good life. On the contrary, someone like her who had often consumed instant noodles and tea would be in such good health.

Perhaps heaven could not see eye to eye with Qiao Zijin and felt that the latter was too evil. It then made Qiao Zijin fall ill and gave Qiao Nan a chance to restart and have a happy life

now.

From Qiao Nan’s perspective, it was not scary to give and sacrifice. The terrible thing was that she not only did not receive any repayment for her sacrifice but also did not get any affirmation for them!

After picking up her mood, Qiao Nan left a slip of note. She wrote on it clearly that she would be going to school. She then took the keys of the Zhai family and left quietly.

When she came to the capital, it was seldom that Miao Jing would see her husband’s face instead of an empty pillow when she woke up. She blinked. She thought that she was not yet awake, had not recovered from her cold, or could not see clearly due to her poor eyesight.

“You are awake? Are you feeling better?” When Miao Jing moved, Zhai Yaohui woke up. Zhai Yaohui reached out his hand and touched Miao Jing’s forehead. He realized that Miao Jing’s temperature did not rise again after it had subsided. “You must be hungry. Take your medicine after you finish your breakfast.”

“Breakfast? Did you prepare it?” Miao Jing smirked. Like her, Zhai Yaohui had been sleeping until this moment. How could there be breakfast?

Zhai Yaohui got up and dressed up. “Don’t forget that your capable son has found us a good daughter-in-law. It’s quite easy if you want to have some food.” Actually, Zhai Yaohui had heard Qiao Nan get out of bed.

However, Zhai Yaohui’s body could not take the toil of traveling from one city to another via the various transportations. In addition, he had a meeting that lasted until one o’clock in the morning. Even a body that was as strong as iron would not be able to take it, let alone Zhai Yaohui who was already of a grandfather’s age.Miao Jing then followed suit and got up. “That’s right. Nan Nan is the youngest but she is the most reliable among the three children. I think we should not only give birth to a daughter but also one that is like Nan Nan. Only this kind of daughter is good.”

A daughter was the mother’s little jacket. However, they had to have a character like Nan Nan to be a little jacket. If Hua Hua could be more obedient, she would thank heaven for it.

“…” Zhai Yaohui, who always felt that his own children were the best, was at a loss for words. Zhai Yaohui had seen a lot of other families’ daughters who were squeamish and pampered. All this while, he felt that Zhai Hua was great.

However…

As part of the Zhai family, it was certainly good to have someone like Hua Hua. However, as a daughter, someone like Qiao Nan would be more heartwarming. “Anyway, your son will marry Qiao Nan soon. When that time comes, she will belong to our family.”

Zhai Yaohui had objected before. However, after his understanding of Qiao Nan deepened, Zhai Yaohui agreed with Zhai Sheng’s sense of judgment. Zhai Sheng was so certain that his wife was of excellent quality despite her young age.

“Right, she will become part of our family! Our family!” When she heard this, Miao Jing was overjoyed like a blooming flower. When Nan Nan married into the family, she would have three children then!

After taking a glance at Miao Jing, who was smiling foolishly with happiness, Zhai Yaohui did not say anything that would ruin Miao Jing’s good mood. He refrained himself from reminding Miao Jing that even if Wei De was not a good person, Zhai Hua was a daughter and she would be married to others sooner or later.
