As the plump woman went upstairs, she didn't look at the steps in front of her, tripped, and fell. She quickly got up and continued climbing. Her movements were somewhat flustered, as if something was chasing her from behind.
Qiao Xiaoni couldn't help but laugh, closed the door and waved to everyone: "It's alright, eat and drink as usual. She wanted to cause trouble but she didn't have the words, and she was too cowardly, so she could only slink away."
"Sister-in-law," Su Chenqiu grabbed her sleeve, "I know I was wrong, I won't cause trouble again."
“You don’t need to be so cautious. If someone tries to hit you, are you just going to wait to be beaten to death if you don’t fight back? It depends on the situation. In today’s situation, you can fight back. If the other person is just arguing with you, you can win the argument. Like I did just now, you can find their weak spot and the problem will be perfectly solved.” Qiao Xiaoni didn’t want her child to become too cowardly, nor did she want her to become lawless and unreasonable.
Su Chenqiu seemed to understand, but not quite, knowing that he had gotten himself into a lot of trouble today because of his impulsive actions.
Su Chenhao patted his younger brother on the shoulder: "Go eat dumplings, we'll think about it after we've eaten."
“Okay!” Su Chenqiu replied.
Because of this little incident, the meal wasn't very enjoyable, and some dumplings were left over.
Tao Chunfang ate two plates of sauerkraut dumplings and a whole head of garlic. Li Meihua was speechless. What was her daughter-in-law pregnant with? Her taste in food was so strange.
Tao Chunfang patted her belly: "It feels so good to be full. The little one has finally stopped fussing."
"Sister-in-law, you have such a good appetite." Qiao Xiaoni noticed that her face wasn't getting any fatter, only her belly was growing, and all the nutrition was going to the baby.
Tao Chunfang nodded: "I feel the same way. Sometimes I feel like my stomach is a hole that can never be filled."
Qiao Manli frowned: "The little brother eats so much now, how are we going to raise him after he's born?"
The child's innocent words made everyone laugh.
After laughing, Li Meihua explained, "Your little brother will drink your mother's milk first after he's born, and he won't be able to eat solid food until he's a little older. He won't eat much, so you don't have to worry about him eating the family out of house and home."
"Oh." Qiao Manli understood what was going on, and a smile returned to her face.
A few months later, when Li Meihua looked at the chubby boy who could eat and drink well, she remembered what she had said before, and felt like she had been slapped in the face.
...
After setting off the last firecrackers at 11 p.m., everyone gradually felt sleepy. They resisted the urge until midnight, exchanged blessings, gave out red envelopes, and then rested.
Qiao Xiaoni and Su Chenhao had to go back to their own homes. They walked out of the building hand in hand, and it just started snowing outside.
A vast expanse of white indicates a good harvest this year.
"It's snowing again. We've had several heavy snowfalls this year," Qiao Xiaoni said, looking at the sky.
"Yeah, this is the fourth heavy snowfall already." Su Chenhao casually put his arm around her shoulder. "We're getting married in 20 days. The weather shouldn't be as cold as it is now by then."
"Hmm." Qiao Xiaoni looked at him: "If you can't wait, we can bring it forward."
Su Chenhao was taken aback for a moment, then laughed: "Let's go! If we don't leave, who knows what you'll be thinking."
"You don't want to?" Qiao Xiaoni blinked.
"Yes, I do want to! But don't ask me that again. You can't predict the consequences." Su Chenhao gave an ambiguous answer, though he had been holding back for a long time. Every time he had that urge, he could only take a cold shower; only he knew how hard it was.
