When the two of them were returning home, they happened to meet several other sisters-in-law in the compound.

When people saw Ye Xiaoxiao and Qu Miao walking together, and very close to each other, they couldn't help but say a few more words.

"Isn't that Captain Lu's house?"

"Looking at her from behind, it seems like she is. Speaking of which, Captain Lu's wife seems to be very busy recently."

"Even if you are busy with work, you can't walk around with gay men like this, right? Isn't this discrediting Captain Lu? Don't you think so?"

The person who spoke was a young military wife. No one thought too much about it at first, but when she said it, it seemed that Ye Xiaoxiao's behavior was not so appropriate.

But after a few months of getting along, everyone in the compound knew Ye Xiaoxiao very well.

So as soon as this sister-in-law spoke, everyone else shut up.

Ye Xiaoxiao is a doctor. She can help anyone with a headache or fever in the compound, and no one is willing to say anything bad about Ye Xiaoxiao.

"Xiao Fen'er, Comrade Ye is pregnant. It's snowing and the roads are slippery. My colleagues must take her home."

"That's right, it's freezing cold, let's go home quickly."

"I see the snow is getting heavier. We'll have to go out and sweep it tomorrow."

As they spoke, the others had already walked away.

Seeing that no one agreed with her, Jia Xiaofen curled her lips.

Others are happy to flatter others, but she is not. However, now that no one is willing to listen to her, she can only shut up.

Of course Ye Xiaoxiao had no idea that people were talking about her behind her back, so Qu Miao left after sending her home.

Now that the weather is cold, the hardships of the island are becoming apparent.

If nothing else, the temperature at home is definitely not warm enough.

Even with the stove on, it always feels like it's almost done.

Unfortunately, this family has no heated kang, only a bed, so sleeping in winter is very difficult.

After Ye Xiaoxiao boiled some hot water at home, she put the hot water bottle in her quilt to warm it up so that she wouldn't feel too cold when she went to sleep.

The last thing Ye Changning sent was an electric blanket, which is the most practical thing on the island. At least it is indispensable in winter.

However, electric blankets are easy to make people addicted, and they are usually turned off after only one or two hours.

When Aunt Zhao saw Ye Xiaoxiao pouring hot water, she immediately came up to help.

"Xiaoxiao, I'll do this kind of thing."

It’s not that Aunt Zhao had forgotten about this, but she usually didn’t enter their room when Xiaoxiao was not around, and it was still early now.

Ye Xiaoxiao: "Auntie, it's okay. I can do it myself."

Aunt Zhao looked at Xiaoxiao worriedly, "Are you still going to work tomorrow? I see there's a thick layer of snow outside."

Ye Xiaoxiao: "I have agreed with Qu Miao and the others that if there is anything tomorrow, they can call me again. If there is nothing else, I will rest at home."

Aunt Zhao was relieved. "This is the right way. Otherwise, it would be dangerous if it's so cold outside and the ground is so slippery."

Aunt Zhao brought out the prepared dinner, all of which was made according to Xiaoxiao's taste.

There was plenty of food at home, and it was delivered from the capital every now and then. Aunt Zhao's job was to ensure the nutrition of the pregnant woman.

I originally thought this would be a difficult task, but Xiaoxiao is really the best pregnant woman Aunt Zhao has ever seen.

I can eat anything during the day and I don’t have morning sickness.

Moreover, Xiaoxiao has a very gentle personality and rarely gets angry.

Aunt Zhao now sees Xiaoxiao as her own child, and she is looking forward to the child being born safely.

After finishing her meal, Ye Xiaoxiao read for a while before going to rest.

Lu Hanchuan was busy with things after the New Year, so he came back relatively late these days.

When Lu Hanchuan returned home, Xiaoxiao had already fallen asleep.

While she was sleeping, Xiaoxiao seemed to be able to feel the person next to her coming back. When Lu Hanchuan lay down, she turned over and leaned into Lu Hanchuan's arms.

"Go to sleep."

Lu Hanchuan patted Xiaoxiao and let her fall asleep peacefully.

The next day, Lu Hanchuan left first and gave Xiaoxiao special instructions before leaving.

"Don't go out today. It's snowing heavily outside."

Ye Xiaoxiao pulled the quilt up to cover her chin, "I'm going to rest today, so be careful when you go out."

Hearing Dui say this, Lu Hanchuan felt relieved.

"Yes, I know."

Lu Hanchuan bent down and kissed Xiaoxiao's forehead, then stood up and left.

Since she doesn't have to go to work, Ye Xiaoxiao can sleep a little longer today.

Before Lu Hanchuan left, he swept the snow in the yard and the path in front of the door. The snow outside the compound still needed to be cleared, and usually whoever was in the compound had more time to do it.

In the morning, the military wives were spontaneously sweeping the snow outside.

Although it is not mandatory, anyone who does not go out will definitely be talked about behind their back.

When Gao Yanfei was sweeping snow outside with her two children, she was stopped by Jia Xiaofen.

"Sister Yanfei, no one is coming out from the two houses next door to you."

Gao Yanfei didn't know who was being talked about at first, but after thinking about it carefully, he realized that it was talking about Ye Xiaoxiao and Kong Xuelan.

Gao Yanfei leaned on the iron shovel and said, "Xiao Fen'er, I'm still pregnant. Why are you asking me to come out in this heavy snow?"

Jia Xiaofen curled her lips and said, "Great men say that women hold up half the sky. Are you not going out to work just because you're pregnant?"

Gao Yanfei knew Jia Xiaofen before, but he didn't expect her to be such a calculative person.

"Okay, that great man didn't say that pregnant women should go out to sweep snow on snowy days. When you are pregnant, you don't come out either."

Gao Yanfei's tone of voice was very serious now, and Jia Xiaofen also felt that something was wrong.

So Jia Xiaofen said stiffly, "Sister Yanfei, that's not what I meant. I just think pregnant women shouldn't be so delicate, and I saw Doctor Ye come out last night."

The two people seemed to be talking a little louder, and even Mrs. Wu, who was sweeping snow nearby, could hear it.

Ever since Xiaoxiao saved her son last time, Mrs. Wu has been very protective of Xiaoxiao.

After hearing what Jia Xiaofen said, she immediately said unhappily, "Jia Xiaofen! If you don't want to work, just go home. You came out to sweep the snow voluntarily. You didn't have much work to do for half a day, but you just said bad things about others."

When Gao Yanfei heard Mrs. Wu talking, he took a shovel and went to shovel the snow.

She needs to stay away from Jia Xiaofen, this girl is so stupid.

Jia Xiaofen's face turned red, and she didn't know if it was because she was cold or because she was embarrassed.

"Mrs. Wu, why don't I have any work? I dug all the land."

Mrs. Wu rolled her eyes at her and said, "I haven't even shoveled two shovels yet, but it can still be considered labor. If we expect people like you to hold up half the sky, the sky will surely fall."

Jia Xiaofen was not as sharp-tongued as Mrs. Wu, so after being scolded, she went home angrily.

As he walked, he said, "Since sister-in-law thinks I'm working too slowly, I'll just leave now."

Mrs. Wu: "You're still talking about others, but you don't want to work either."

Everyone else worked quickly, and the little incident did not disrupt the progress of shoveling snow.
