"We still need to travel around a bit more. I'll come to your place when I get back."
Xue Ningnan didn't force it. These people didn't like her, so she shouldn't try to get close to them now.
"Okay, Mom, I'm going home now. I'll be waiting for you there."
At least Xue's mother treated her quite well, probably because she valued their mother-daughter relationship.
Thinking this way, she felt comforted.
After learning that her biological parents were using her as a tool to make money, she felt especially reluctant to part with Mr. and Mrs. Xue, and she was determined to cherish the bond between them.
In the evening, after Luo Jingyan and Xue's mother returned from their walk, Xue's mother went to find Xue Ningnan.
The two didn't mention Xue Yanchen and Luo Jingyan's matter, but just chatted casually. Xue's mother said, "Ning Nan, now that you're here, get along well with the military wives here. If you can't find a job, don't look for one. Qingsong's allowance is enough for you."
Xue Ningnan nodded: "Mom, I understand."
After staying here for three days, Xue's mother returned to Beijing, leaving Xue's mother behind.
Although Mrs. Xue is quite old, she is in very good health and can do all the work that Mrs. Xue can do.
With her here, Luo Jingyan doesn't have to do anything but wait for her meals. Sometimes, Grandma Xue even wants to feed her granddaughter-in-law.
But Xue Yanchen took over the task of feeding her. Every mealtime, Xue Yanchen would pick up food and bring it to his wife's mouth, saying, "Wife, eat."
Luo Jingyan said, "I didn't have to do anything before, and I felt like I was turning into a pig. Now you still have to feed me. I feel like I'm not even as good as a pig."
The man smiled and said, "With me and Grandma around, my wife should certainly enjoy life."
Luo Jingyan pushed his chopsticks away, "I can eat by myself. I also need to maintain a certain amount of exercise. I can't not move at all, otherwise it might not be good for the baby in my belly."
"Okay, then I'll take a walk every day."
Because Qiu Aizhen frequently visited Luo Jingyan, she naturally learned about Luo Jingyan's pregnancy. Seeing that the vegetables in Luo Jingyan's yard hadn't grown well yet, she would deliver fresh vegetables to the yard every few days. Sometimes, after delivering the vegetables, she would stay and help with the work, and she would refuse to let Luo Jingyan do it.
Luo Jingyan never imagined that she, a successful businesswoman in her previous life who owned her own company and spent her days busy, could one day live a life lazier than a pig.
Since arriving at the military region, she has been worried about her parents in the Victory Brigade. Every two or three days, she would use her spatial teleportation to return to the Victory Brigade and secretly visit her family. Only when she saw that they were living a normal life and there were no problems could she feel at ease. When her parents and Grandma Zhang went to work in the fields, she would also teleport to the cowshed to continue changing their drinking water to spiritual spring water, trying her best to keep them healthy.
She can't directly take things out of the space and put them here, but she will send them packages from time to time.
Two months later, Luo Jingyan's three-month pregnant belly was about the same size as when other women were five or six months pregnant with a single child. However, apart from not doing housework, she still insisted on taking walks every day.
Fortunately, she drank the spiritual spring water every day and did not experience edema or other symptoms. Even while pregnant with triplets, she did not feel particularly tired.
Time flies, and autumn arrives before we know it, the harvest season for crops.
Victory Brigade
Zhuang Feifei was harvesting crops in the field when the matchmaker suddenly came to find her.
"Zhuang Zhiqing, Zhuang Zhiqing, good news!"
Without her magic touch, Zhuang Feifei toiled in the fields every day, enduring wind and sun. Unconsciously, she began to consider herself a native resident of this era, and her desire to marry the leader gradually faded. When she saw the matchmaker coming, she thought the matchmaker was going to introduce her to some local farmers.
A farmer is fine, as long as the man's conditions are acceptable, she won't have to suffer if she marries him.
"Aunt Wang, which place are you going to introduce me to this time? How are their family conditions? Do they manage to eat three meals a day without going hungry?"
Matchmaker Wang slapped her thigh: "Zhuang Zhiqing, this time I'm not introducing you to a farmer, but a high-ranking officer, a proper military commander. Haven't you always wanted to find a high-ranking officer as your man? I've always remembered that, and now you've finally met him."
Upon hearing this news, Zhuang Feifei's lifeless heart suddenly stirred, and she could even be described as extremely excited.
Look at her, she really is destined to marry a military commander.
I was just going to let things slide in this poor countryside, but I never expected that there would be a glimmer of hope after all.
She stood up, clutching the ends of her hair, somewhat apprehensive: "Aunt Wang, you...you're not joking with me, are you?"
"I'm not joking. Why would I joke with you? I'm telling the truth. He really is a military region leader, serving as a regimental political commissar in the army."
"Such a high-ranking official."
At that moment, she actually thought that the political commissar of the regiment must have a higher position than Xue Yanchen.
Hmph, Luo Jingyan, how about that? The man I found is definitely better than the one you found.
"Aunt Wang, where is he now? Please arrange for us to meet him."
Matchmaker Wang waved her hand: "Don't rush, let me tell you about his specific situation first. When you're doing matchmaking, you have to make sure you understand the actual situation of both parties. Otherwise, if things are unclear and you find something wrong after the money is exchanged or the couple has married, won't that cause a conflict?"
Zhuang Feifei was very patient: "Okay, Auntie, go ahead and tell me."
