Rebirth to a Military Marriage: Good Morning Chief - Chapter 1035

1035 Qiao Nan Had No Choice but to Be Shortchanged

To his surprise, it was a success on the first try. Qiao Nan grabbed the bag and jumped onto the bicycle. “Nan Nan, sit tight. I will speed up.”

Qiao Nan said ‘okay’, grabbing onto the bag with one hand and onto Qiao Dongliang’s clothes with the other hand.

Both Qiao Dongliang, who rode the bicycle, and Qiao Nan, who sat at the back, felt cold on their way back.

They were glad to go home to a warm and comfortable house and their frowns eased to relaxed smiles. “Nan Nan, are you hungry? I will prepare some dishes right now.” Qiao Dongliang had already bought the ingredients.

“Dad, I will help you.”

“No, you should sit and rest. You can watch television. I will be done soon.” Qiao Dongliang pushed Qiao Nan out of the kitchen. He had no intention of letting Qiao Nan help with preparing the meals.

From the end of August onward, Qiao Nan was no longer just an ordinary student. She was a student of Peking University!

Qiao Dongliang had always wished for his two daughters to have good future prospects and become college students. Qiao Zijin could not get into college, but Qiao Nan could!

In the Qiao family, particularly in the eyes of Qiao Dongliang, it was a great honor to be a college student.

Not only was Qiao Nan the provincial top humanities student in the college entrance examination, but she was also a college student in the capital. Because of this, Qiao Dongliang was able to hold his head high wherever he went.

Those who knew or were on closer terms with Qiao Dongliang would ask him advice on how he educated Qiao Nan and what she learned when she was at home. They wanted Qiao Dongliang to share his experience so that they could use the same method at home.

Qiao Dongliang was very popular in the factory as his daughter was very good at her studies.

Because of this, Qiao Dongliang was among the workers who were awarded ‘advanced workers’ honors at the factory this year!

Nobody would expect that having a daughter who was good in her studies would be such an advantage.

It was true that he owed it to his daughter, but Qiao Dongliang was not upset about it as this proved that he had good genes, and that was why his daughter was so outstanding.

The father and daughter had their dinner happily. “Nan Nan, since you are home, have you made a call to the Zhai family?”

“I forgot.” Qiao Nan jumped in shock. She quickly made a call to the Zhai family’s residence. It was the auntie at the Zhai family’s residence who answered the call. She passed the phone to Miao Jing as soon as she knew that it was Qiao Nan on the other end of the phone.

Old Master Zhai visited the Zhai family in December because of Zhai Hua’s relationship with Wei De. Since it would be the Lunar New Year soon, he did not go back but stayed at the Zhai family’s residence.

Old Master Zhai might prefer to spend his time in the countryside with his friends, but it was the Chinese tradition to spend the Lunar New Year with one’s family.

Miao Jing felt pleased as she hung up the phone. She was happy to know that Qiao Nan was back in Ping Cheng.

Zhai Hua, who had been spending her time at home, rolled her eyes at Miao Jing, who seemed overjoyed. “You look as if you have your knife sharpened and are getting ready to charge at the pigs and goats.” Her mother seemed as if she was getting ready to land her hands on Qiao Nan. “Your smile is too devious.”

“If you have a child, I will be the maternal grandmother. But if Nan Nan has a child, I will be the paternal grandmother!” Miao Jing had a satisfied smile on her face. “Now that I am about to have a daughter-in-law, I will have my grandchild soon!”

It was rare that Zhai Hua looked at Miao Jing with a serious look on her face. “Qiao Nan is only twenty-one years old after this Lunar New Year. She is still a freshman. She has three more years to go. Do you really intend for her to have a child as soon as she marries Zhai Sheng?”

She had no doubts about Zhai Sheng’s body condition.

As for Qiao Nan, she might have suffered when she lived with her mother, but now that her parents were divorced, Qiao Nan was leading a better life and there was a healthy glow on her cheeks.

Qiao Nan seemed to be in good health as well.

If they were to have a normal married life after their marriage without any contraceptive measures, there was a high probability of Qiao Nan being pregnant.

“What’s there to be afraid of? I heard that one can take one year off in college. Nan Nan started school a year earlier than her peers because of her mom. It would not be a problem to take a year off in college. Besides, you should know Zhai Sheng’s situation. Compared to other military marriages, they are usually apart from each other. I am worried that if they don’t make full use of the time that they are together, by the time they have time for each other, it will be too late.” Miao Jing was helpless as well.

Compared to her ‘old’ son, Qiao Nan was still very young.

Qiao Nan, who was younger, had no other choice but to be shortchanged. Miao Jing could do nothing about it.

Looking at Miao Jing, who seemed to be in a dilemma, Zhai Hua finally understood why Miao Jing objected strongly to Nan Nan back then. “Mom, is this the reason why you were unhappy when I used Qiao Nan as an example?” Given their family’s situation, it was indeed difficult for Qiao Nan.

“Of course.” Miao Jing was distressed. “The reason why I disapproved in the past is that I feel sorry that the other party is still so young and has to make so many sacrifices. Furthermore, young people nowadays are very delicate. To put it bluntly, the young people have yet to grow up. When I heard that Zhai Sheng’s girlfriend is so young, I was constantly worried that after he married her, I would have to take care of the grandchild as well as the daughter-in-law.”

The daughter-in-law of the Zhai family had to share the burden of the Zhai family.

Since the other party was still very young, Miao Jing was worried that she would have two more children to take care of.

“If not for the fact that Nan Nan has fallen in love with Zhai Sheng, I will not allow her to be with someone of a similar background as the Zhai family.”

Miao Jing might have her plans, but the reality was different.

The two people that she cherished ended up being with each other. She had no way of protecting their interests at the same time.

Zhai Hua sighed. It was no wonder that her mother objected strongly to it. She would have a headache as well.

Ring!

The phone in the Zhai family’s residence rang again.

“Hello.” Although Miao Jing and Zhai Hua sat next to the phone, the auntie still rushed out from the kitchen to answer the call. “It’s you again!” Upon hearing Wei De’s voice, the auntie hung up the phone without another word. She then went back to the kitchen to continue with her chores.

The phone at the Zhai family’s residence had a caller ID display.

But whenever it was Wei De on the line, no one in the Zhai family would pick up the phone.

Wei De was aware of that. Therefore, he used another number to make the call to the Zhai family’s residence.

Miao Jing picked it up when he called for the first time. She hung up the phone when she found out who was on the line.

Old Master Zhai answered the phone when he called the second time and he hung up the phone.

When Wei De called for the third time, no one in the Zhai family wanted to pick up the phone. They would wait for the auntie to answer the phone and find out who the caller was. If it was someone else other than Wei De, they would take the phone from the auntie and answer the call.

The auntie knew that the Zhai family disliked Wei De and she watched Zhai Hua grow up. Therefore, she hated Wei De who deceived Zhai Hua. She would hang up his call right away.
