"Huh? Why aren't you sleeping and you're sitting in the yard?" Ding Qiunan had just walked into the middle courtyard when she saw her husband sitting there in a daze.

"It's nothing, I just saw my sister off. Is the child asleep?"

"Yes, I'm asleep. The medicine Wenxuan prescribed is working quite well; Yueyue had more pain today than yesterday."

“If he still can’t learn after studying with me for so long, then he doesn’t need to continue learning. He can just switch to another career and save time.” Li Chu pursed his lips.

Ding Qiunan sat down on the stool opposite her husband, looked at him and asked, "Is something wrong with our sister? I noticed during the day that she seemed to have something on her mind."

Li Chu hesitated for a moment, but still told her what his sister had just said. He felt that there were no secrets between him and his wife that he couldn't tell her.

Of course, besides the fact that I came from the future, and the system in my head.

This thing is really too bizarre.

To everyone's surprise, Ding Qiunan showed no surprise at all after hearing this; she simply gave a calm "oh."

Actually, this is what Li Chu admires most about her.

She may seem very greedy, but that only applies to her own family's property. If it's not hers, no matter how valuable it is, she won't even give it a second glance.

"By the way, Li Chu, how long does it take for the baby to completely pass meconium?"

"That's not necessarily true. Usually, three or four times is enough."

"I seem to remember that Wenhui and Wenxuan were clean the next day."

"But this little rascal has only been born for less than thirty hours."

Ding Qiunan raised her hand and slapped her forehead: "I was so focused on the fact that it's the second night, I forgot that she was born last night."

"I'm going to take a shower. You heat up the stewed chicken for Yueyue and bring it over for her to eat some more later."

Where is Wenxuan?

“I told him to go get some sleep. He didn’t sleep all night and didn’t get any sleep during the day either.”

"Okay, go take a shower, I'll go to the kitchen now."

"dad……"

As soon as Ding Qiunan entered the house, Wen Hui's window was opened, and she poked her head out and called out.

"What's wrong? Why aren't you asleep so late?"

"Dad, I'm hungry too."

Looking at her daughter's pitiful little face, Li Chu couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Haha, didn't you want to lose weight so you could wear the dress you made yourself?"

Li Wenhui followed her mother's example and made herself a new wedding dress, but perhaps the size was wrong or something, the waist part was a bit tight when she put it on.

Ding Qiunan suggested that since there was still time, they could just redo it, but Wenhui disagreed. She said she had gained weight recently and wanted to lose it in the next few days.

So she hasn't been eating dinner lately. Just now, she probably overheard her parents talking in the yard, which suddenly made her crave food, and she couldn't resist anymore.

"Hehe," Wenhui chuckled a little shyly.

"Eat your fill before you start dieting, otherwise you'll be too hungry and won't have the motivation to lose weight."

"Ha, only you can make being greedy sound so elegant and refined."

"Oh, Daddy~"

"Okay, okay, stop yelling. There's too much chicken; Yueyue definitely can't finish it all by herself. I'll give you a bowl later."

"Thanks, Dad! Oh, and could you fry up a few more slices of steamed bun for me?"

Li Chu didn't even want to look at his daughter anymore. Eating such oily food so late at night, and you still want to lose weight? You're dreaming.

"Forget about the fried bread slices, I'll just make you a bowl of noodles with chicken broth instead."

"That works too, thanks Dad! mua~"

"That brat!" Li Chu shook his head with a smile and walked into the kitchen. But then he remembered that his daughter would be getting married in half a month, and the smile on his face vanished instantly.

Although he knew that raising a daughter would inevitably lead to this situation sooner or later, he still felt very uncomfortable.

Point Guard Here

Shaking his head to dispel the uncomfortable thoughts in his mind, he lit the gas stove and got to work.

"Who are you making noodles for? Are you hungry?"

Do you want some?

"I don't want to eat. I'm already full from dinner. Is it Huihui who wants to eat?"

Ding Qiunan knew that her husband almost never ate anything at night, and with a quick glance, she knew who this food was for.

"Yes, she just said she was hungry and asked me to get her something to eat."

"You've spoiled her for a day now. She's about to get married, and she's too lazy to do these things."

“If I don’t spoil her at home, who will? Once she leaves this house, she’ll be someone else’s wife, and I won’t have the chance to spoil her anymore.”

Watching her husband's busy figure at the stove, Ding Qiunan pursed her lips. She knew that her husband hadn't been in a good mood lately.

She didn't know how to comfort her, because no matter how many comforting words she said, it wouldn't work. What's meant to happen will happen, and a daughter who is meant to get married will eventually go to another family.

"Qiu Nan, take this to Yue Yue, the chicken is ready."

"Oh? Oh, I'll go right away."

In the noodles he gave Wenhui, he not only put a few pieces of chicken in them, but also poached an egg on top.

"Huihui, open the door, the noodles are ready."

"They're here!"

Looking at the fragrant bowl of noodles, Li Wenhui's eyes narrowed into slits with joy.

"Dad, you're so good to me."

"Go eat quickly, and put the bowls on the table when you're done. We'll clean them up tomorrow morning."

"Dad, will I still be able to come back often after I get married?"

Li Chu, who had already turned to leave, turned back after hearing her daughter's words.

"What nonsense are you talking about? This is your home, why can't you come back? Who can stop you from coming back?"

"Oh, it's nothing, Dad. I was just asking."

"What a silly girl, go and eat, the noodles won't taste good if they're left to soak for too long."

"knew."

After closing the door, Wenhui shed a few tears.

She suddenly regretted her impulsive decision to join the army. If she had stayed in school, she could have lived at home for two more years and gotten married later.

As the wedding date approaches, her emotions have been fluctuating more and more these past few days.

If she could, she really wanted to postpone the wedding.

After Li Chu left, he didn't go inside. He squatted under the eaves, lit a cigarette, and kept his eyes fixed on the direction of Wen Hui's house.

Perhaps every father who raises a daughter will experience something like this.

Of course, we won't go into the details of families that favor sons over daughters.

After finishing his cigarette, he stomped out the butt under his feet and threw it in the trash can before walking into the living room.

Even after he finished showering and lay in bed, his mind kept replaying scenes from his daughter's childhood to adulthood.

He was involved in so many of her first times: her first time calling him "Dad," her first steps, her first fall, her first kiss on his cheek, her first time running into his arms, and so on.

Before he knew it, a tear slid down his cheek.
