Chapter 193

"Mom, what are you talking about? When have I ever made things difficult for them?"

Xia Qing was very angry. She asked herself why she, as a stepmother, had never been harsh on her first three children.

Especially Xu Qiao, she treated her like her own daughter.

The two boys were a little naughty, but she still gave them just as much food and drink as they did.

After Qiu Dazao came, he kept the two boys close to him.

Xia Qing was so angry that she cried after being slandered like this.

She held Xu Lu in her arms and said, "You guys handle this. I'm tired."

"mother."

Xu Qiao called her weakly, which made Xia Qing tremble. Normally, if Xu Qiao called her mother, she would definitely be very happy.

It's just that she was too sad at this time.

"grandmother."

Xu Qiao was a little angry, "Mom is very good to me and my brothers."

Fearing that Captain Xu would be really angry with Xia Qing, Xu Qiao said, "My family bought some meat, so my brothers and I can eat the same amount.

On the contrary, every time grandma cooked, she always gave the good food to my younger brothers, and my mother and I could only eat vegetables.

Mom would also make clothes for me when she couldn’t wear them anymore. Dad, I love Mom.”

After she finished speaking, she went into the house, which made Xia Qing in the room feel warm in her heart. It was not in vain that she loved this child so much.

Qiu Dazao looked ugly, and his face was almost distorted with anger.

"Mom, we need you at home too."

Captain Xu rubbed his brows in pain. He didn't know how to face his subordinate Lu Huaijing.

"I'm not going back!"

Qiu Dazao said confidently, "If I don't help you with these three or four children, how can Xia Qing handle this?

After her maternity leave, she has to go back to work at the hospital. Who will take care of the children?"

“I can do laundry and cook.”

Xu Qiao stuck her little head out from the house. She was older than her younger brothers.

I am already ten years old and can do many housework at home.

"Shut up!"

Qiu Dazao could see that her granddaughter didn't want her to stay here at all.

After all, grandchildren are the best.

Her grandchildren protected her.

"Dad, we don't want grandma to leave."

“I like grandma, too.”

As expected, Xu Heping and Xu Weimin started shouting. The two children looked a little weak, but they did not forget to speak up for Qiu Dazao.

Qiu Dazao felt so warm inside that he glared at Xu Qiao and said, "A loser is a loser."

"mother!"

Captain Xu was really angry. "Qiao'er is my daughter. What did you say?"

"Don't talk about her. I won't leave anyway."

Qiu Dazao was playing tricks, which was her usual style. Captain Xu was very worried.

On the other side, Tang Wan was eating the chestnuts fried by Wang Dani. She glanced at Lu Huaijing with disdain.

"Why are you peeling so slowly?"

Lu Huaijing: …

He began to wonder who was born from his mother's womb.

"Don't be angry with those people. How are these chestnuts fried?"

Wang Dani's face was full of wrinkles when she smiled, which made Tang Wan feel close to her for some reason. She was different from Qin Su's gentle appearance.

Wang Dani is very simple and down-to-earth, which also makes Tang Wan feel loved.

"tasty."

Tang Wan curled her lips happily, "Actually I don't care what those people say.

As long as my relatives know what kind of relatives I am, that’s enough.”

"But Mommy cares."

Wang Dani snorted, "They are blind and ignorant. Mother will fight back against them one by one for you."

"And me." Lu Huaijing also made assurances one after another. With them, mother and son, Tang Wan had long forgotten the previous unpleasantness.

"I'm not angry, Lu Huaijing, how many days off can you take?"

She never asked Lu Huaijing about this, for fear of spoiling his New Year's Day fun.

She had to ask now as she had to arrange her future schedule. Upon hearing this, Lu Huaijing smiled awkwardly.

"I can rest for another day tomorrow, but I will be back on the team the day after tomorrow."

"Then you can accompany me to meet the boss tomorrow."

Tang Wan thought, the old man has given him so many good things, Tang Wan can't be ungrateful.

Lu Huaijing naturally would not refuse, "Okay, then you are alone at home."

"Don't worry about me. I'm such a big person, how can I starve to death at home alone?"

Wang Dani was still smiling gently, and the family of three was in a good mood while they were washing up in the evening.

Tang Wan entered the space again, and the medicinal herbs in the space were growing more and more lushly.

These days, whenever she has time, she will continue to add more types of medicinal herbs to the space.

Tang Wan made some pills out of boredom and looked for New Year gifts in the space.

She couldn't be vague when wishing the eldest master a happy new year, after all, he was so good to her.

Knowing that he loved his wife, Tang Wan prepared some red dates and brown sugar wolfberries, and the eldest grandfather naturally prepared plum wine.

In addition, Tang Wan prepared two sweaters with simple weaving patterns. She had seen before that the clothes worn by the grandfather were very thin.

After everything was ready, Tang Wan quietly returned to the house. Lu Huaijing and Wang Dani seemed to be still busy in the kitchen.

Tang Wan put the prepared New Year gifts into the cabinet so that she could take them and leave the next morning.

She originally wanted to wait for Lu Huaijing to sleep together, but she was so sleepy that when Lu Huaijing finished his work and returned to the room, she had already fallen asleep.

When I woke up again, it was already the next day. Lu Huaijing had prepared everything, and Wang Dani had also prepared a New Year gift.

"This is a New Year gift from the Third Brother's family. This is the first time we visit someone's home to wish them a happy New Year. We can't be rude."

Wang Dani was an extremely frugal woman, but she was very generous to Tang Wan's old friends.

She wrapped a small piece of sausage and took a bag of sugar.

"Thank you, mother."

Tang Wan put all the things into a bag. Her belly was too big. Wang Dani was terrified when she saw her sitting in the back seat.

Especially since Lu Huaijing's right hand has not fully recovered yet, he relies entirely on his left hand to control the front of the bicycle.

Wang Dani looked worried, "Old Third, please ride slowly and don't bump your wife."

"Don't worry, mother. I know what I'm doing."

Lu Huaijing rode slowly and steadily, and Tang Wan held his waist. This man was full of strength, and his waist was so stiff that it hurt her hands.

"Lu Huaijing, can you still hold on to your hands?"

It’s not that Tang Wan doesn’t trust Lu Huaijing, but she knows her current weight.

The belly was so big, weighing at least a hundred pounds, and it was difficult for Lu Huaijing to carry it with one hand.

"Wife, don't underestimate your man."

Lu Huaijing's tone was full of helplessness, but his riding speed did not change at all.

Tang Wan couldn't help but think to herself that if Lu Huaijing really couldn't hold on and fell, she would have to get into the space immediately.

At least the child won't be hurt.

I was thinking about random things all the way and ended up going straight to the scrap recycling station. Today is only the fourth day of the Chinese New Year, but I didn't expect that the old scrap recycling station was already open.

The eldest master was tidying up things on the table. He was tidying very seriously and didn't notice Tang Wan and the others coming in.

"Happy New Year, Grandpa!"

Tang Wan walked over quickly, and Lu Huaijing carefully held her waist.

"Happy New Year."

The eldest master's gaze fell on Lu Huaijing, his eyes full of scrutiny.

"Xiao Tang, is this your man?"

This was the first time that the eldest master met Lu Huaijing. Before this, Lu Huaijing was just a person who lived in Tang Wan's mouth.

A smart and down-to-earth soldier.
