Han Dashan looked at Li Qiaoqiao's parents: "I have three sons, and Zhuangzhuang is the youngest. His mother and I raised him and helped him get married. We have done right by him. He is the youngest, and his mother and I don't need him to support us in our old age. They can live their own lives well."

Li Qiaoqiao's mother: "Young people don't know how to manage a household."

Grandma Han glanced at her and said, "They don't know how, but you do. You can just give them some pointers from behind."

Li Qiaoqiao's mother blushed slightly: "Grandma, look, Qiaoqiao is pregnant..."

Grandma Han glanced at Li Qiaoqiao and said, "Her sister-in-law and I can't take care of her."

"How could that be? You're an elder, and her sister-in-law has also given birth. With you all here, I can rest assured."

Grandma Han looked at Li Qiaoqiao's mother and asked, "Then why do you insist on having my daughter-in-law come back?"

"this……"

Grandma Han: "I know you just think that since your daughter and Xiaoman are both daughters-in-law, why should my daughter-in-law only serve Xiaoman and not your daughter? My son just said that he doesn't need them to take care of him in his old age. Neither I nor his sister-in-law have any obligation to take care of her."

Li Qiaoqiao's mother gave Li Qiaoqiao a wink: "What are you standing there for, child?"

Li Qiaoqiao tugged at Han Zhuang: "Grandma, Dad, we were wrong, please forgive us."

Han Zhuang quickly added, "Grandma, Dad, please don't kick us out. We don't know how to do anything. How will we survive if you kick us out?"

Grandma Han and Han Dashan ignored them. After they pleaded for a long time, Grandma Han finally said, "It's fine if we don't divide it up."

Before Li Qiaoqiao and her mother could even rejoice, Grandma Han continued, "However, Qiaoqiao can't just sit at home all day anymore."

Han Zhuang: "Grandma, Qiaoqiao is pregnant."

Grandma Han: "If you don't want to work, then go live separately."

Han Zhuang didn't dare to speak. Grandma Han looked at Li Qiaoqiao.

Li Qiaoqiao hesitated for a moment: "Grandma, I...I'll do the work."

Grandma Han thought to herself, "That's more like it." "I'll ask the village chief to arrange an easy job for you." The easier the job, the fewer work points she'd earn. However, Grandma Han wasn't after work points. She felt that they were being too kind to Li Qiaoqiao, which made Li Qiaoqiao think they were easy to bully.

Li Qiaoqiao didn't want to do it. She thought it meant doing housework. "Grandma, I..."

Grandma Han reiterated, "If you don't want to work, then go live separately."

Li Qiaoqiao dared not speak.

Grandma Han continued, "Your sister-in-law is honest. She stopped cooking after you got pregnant, and she didn't say anything. From today onwards, you and your sister-in-law will take turns cooking."

Li Qiaoqiao glanced at Han Zhuang. The implication was: Didn't you say your second sister-in-law never cook? I'm pregnant now, why is your grandma still making me cook?

Han Zhuang: "Grandma, my second sister-in-law didn't cook before either."

Grandma Han smiled and said, "Compared to your second sister-in-law? Okay. You should also buy a few baskets of steamed buns for everyone."

Han Zhuang fell silent.

Li Qiaoqiao's mother gave her a wink. Li Qiaoqiao bit her lip and said, "Grandma, my sister-in-law and I will take turns cooking."

"Okay. After the baby is born, you two can move out and live separately."

Han Zhuang: "Grandma, why are you still telling us to go live separately?"

Han Dashan glared at Han Zhuang. Ever since he got married, this kid has forgotten who he is: "What? You think I'll support you for the rest of your life? If it weren't for my grandson, I'd kick you out right now."

Han Zhuang shrank his neck.

Li Qiaoqiao's mother gave Han Zhuang a wink, meaning that they would deal with the matter later.

After they finished talking, Li Qiaoqiao's parents left. Han Dashan and Grandma Han didn't try to stop them.

As soon as they left Han Family Village, Li Qiaoqiao's mother glared at Li Qiaoqiao's father: "Why didn't you say a word just now?"

Li Qiaoqiao's father looked at Li Qiaoqiao's mother, as if to say, "Don't you make all the decisions at home?"

Li Qiaoqiao's mother apologized to Grandma Han for a long time, still feeling uneasy. Then Li Qiaoqiao's father acted this way, and Li Qiaoqiao's mother suddenly flared up: "You, you're so spineless! How could I have married you? You're a good-for-nothing. Marrying you was the worst thing that ever happened to me..."

Li Qiaoqiao's mother kept scolding, and Li Qiaoqiao's father finally couldn't take it anymore: "What do you want me to do?"

"What can you do about it? Huh? What are you capable of? Huh? Tell me, what are you capable of?"

"I'm not very capable."

"If you're incompetent, shut up. I was truly blind back then. If I had..."

Li Qiaoqiao's mother cursed all the way.

Two months later, Nao Nao and Tengteng learned to roll over. The two little ones were full of energy. They kept rolling over whenever they were awake. If you weren't careful, they would roll to the edge of the bed. Xiao Man was afraid they would fall off, so she had a playpen made and installed on the bed.

Xiaoman hadn't been to the mountains for a long time. After Naonao and Tengteng fell asleep, Xiaoman rode Xiaohei into the mountains.

Upon returning, Xiaoman first gave the basket to Lao Guo. Inside were several pheasants: "Is Uncle Shang here?"

"exist."

"Then I'll go ask him something."

"Go."

Xiaoman went over and knocked on the door: "Uncle Shang, I have something to ask you."

"Come in."

Once inside, Xiaoman asked immediately, "Is the weather strange?"

"You discovered it?"

"Um."

Old Shang sighed: "A natural disaster is coming."

"how long?"

"Three years."

"Can it be changed?"

Old Shang shook his head: "Some things are simply beyond human control."

Xiaoman felt a little heavy-hearted.

Old Shang looked at Xiaoman and said, "There are some things that we really can't do anything about."

Xiaoman closed her eyes briefly: "I understand."

From that day on, whenever she wasn't breastfeeding, Xiaoman would take Xiaohei out. Sometimes Lao Shang would come along too.

After Nao Nao and Tengteng turned one year old, Xiao Man went to see Commander Wang. After greeting him, Xiao Man looked at Commander Wang and said, "Commander Wang, I'd like to borrow your car."

Commander Wang was a little surprised: "Borrow a car?"

"right."

Who are you lending it to?

"I."

What do you need the car for?

"Going back to my hometown."

"Going back to your hometown?"

"Um."

Borrow a car to go back to your hometown? Commander Wang thought for a moment: "You're sending things back to your hometown?"

"Um."

Sending supplies back to my hometown at this time? And borrowing his car? "Do you have grain on hand?"

Xiaoman didn't say anything.

Commander Wang understood. Wang Xiaoman not only had grain, but a considerable amount; otherwise, she wouldn't have borrowed his vehicle. Commander Wang admired her willingness to give away grain at this time. "Alright. I'll have my driver go with you."

"No need, I can drive."

Commander Wang's eyes widened in surprise: "You can drive?"

"Um."

"Okay. When do you need it?"

"Tonight. Is that alright?"

"Can."

At one o'clock in the morning, Xiaoman drove her car out of the military region. When she went to get her car, Commander Wang gave her two sets of military uniforms: "I've taken care of all the paperwork for you. Be careful on the road."

"Thanks."

After driving for a while, Xiaoman stopped the car. A moment later, Lao Shang arrived with Xiao Hei. Lao Shang was wearing Han Bin's old military uniform.

After loading the grain onto the cart, Xiaoman made a nest for Xiaohei. Once it was done, she called Heidian up.

After Xiao Hei settled down, Xiao Man returned to the driver's seat and looked at Lao Shang. "Sit tight, I'm about to leave."

"good."
