Chapter 823 The Old Man's Test
In the end, Mr. Xiao did not express his guess in front of his daughter-in-law. After all, she was still pregnant, and it would be bad if she was scared.
She just said that she had fallen accidentally and the baby was lost, but she still specifically mentioned to her second daughter-in-law that she should not go out late in the future and that the baby in her belly should be the most important.
He thought that this time he must find out the mastermind behind the scenes, otherwise their Xiao family would never have peace.
Chunxiao may have noticed that her grandfather was in a bad mood, so she stopped pretending to be good and went back to her room early.
Chu Xue saw that the old man was not in good spirits and said, "Grandpa, go back to the house and rest early. You have to go to the hospital tomorrow."
The old man was afraid of disturbing his daughter-in-law's rest, so he nodded and said, "Okay."
Chu Xue took the old man to the room reserved for him: "Grandpa, don't think too much, get a good night's sleep tonight, maybe there will be good news tomorrow."
Mr. Xiao thought about what his son had said to him before, and suddenly asked: "Chuxue, do you want to join the army?"
Chu Xue was a little surprised to hear the question, but she also understood what he meant. However, she had no intention of joining the army: "Grandpa, I am quite satisfied with my current job."
Originally, my uncle Xiao Changjiang was developing in the army, but later due to the recurrence of an old injury, he could no longer stay in the army. Although it was a pity, there was nothing he could do about it.
Among the grandchildren, only the eldest cousin Xiao Wancheng served in the army. However, due to an injury, he could not keep up with the high-intensity training and was demobilized to become a railway police officer. The rest is my cousin's husband who is still developing in the army, so it is understandable that the old man wants her to join the army.
When Mr. Xiao heard his granddaughter's words, he was not too disappointed. After all, her current job was indeed suitable for girls.
At this time, Xiao Changsheng also came in with water: "Dad, wash your face and soak your feet, so you can sleep more comfortably."
Seeing that there was nothing for her to do, Chuxue said hello and left the room.
Instead of going back to her room, she went into her parents' room next door and said, "Mom, you don't have to prepare breakfast for my aunt tomorrow morning. Her house is close to the hospital, and her mother-in-law will definitely send it. I'll get up early tomorrow and go to Houhai to see if I can catch some fish. You can catch some fish then. I'll come back in the morning and send some to my aunt."
Zhao Lamei heard her daughter's words: "You have to go to work tomorrow, so I'd better go. It's not too far anyway."
How could Chuxue let her go? She couldn't let the people behind Jiang Huiwen target her mother again: "You just arrived in the city and you don't know anyone here. I'd better go. Besides, your top priority right now is to take care of your baby."
Not only were her family members worried about her pregnancy, she also knew that pregnancy at an advanced age was inherently high-risk, so she did not refute her daughter: "Okay, then, what time can you come back?"
Seeing that she agreed, Chu Xue was relieved: "I will be home around ten o'clock."
The mother and daughter talked for a while: "You go to bed early, I'm going back to the room."
I returned to the main room on the west side, closed the doors and windows, and went straight into the space. I saw that the old man coughed several times today. Although it was not too serious, I was afraid that he might have ignored it because of his busy schedule these days.
There is a loquat tree in the space and a lot of loquats stored in the warehouse, so I thought about making some loquat paste. The weather is getting cold and there is a pregnant woman at home, so it is better to prepare some of these things just in case.
I had saved some rock sugar in my space before, and it came in handy now.
