Rebirth to a Military Marriage: Good Morning Chief Novel - Chapter 1150
Chapter 1150: Only the Tummy Grows
Although Tian Dong was willing to do everything for Zhai Hua, he had to plan and utilize his time properly so that it would not be wasted on unnecessary matters.
Fortunately, Zhai Hua was also not the type who was willing to sit in the classroom abidingly. She was elated when she heard from Tian Dong that they could occasionally slack during the lessons.
The two of them had discussed—wrong, Tian Dong was the one who did the talking and Zhai Hua just nodded continuously by his side. After confirming that the professor was not touching on revision, Zhai Hua would take care of Qiao Nan at home while Tian Dong managed his company matters.
He was a boss and could not skip his work every day.
During the times whereby the revision content was important, Tian Dong and Zhai Hua would then turn into ‘good students’. One would do the copying at every second while the other one slept. After dividing the labor and cooperating with each other, work was not so tiring then!
Clearly, this was Qiao Nan’s college life. Nevertheless, it improved the relationship between Tian Dong and Zhai Hua and made them closer to each other.
Privately, Tian Dong’s mother called Miao Jing. “These two children are on quite good terms. Tell me. When are our families going to settle their wedding matters?”
Fortunately, her son did not like men. She was someone who was going to have a daughter-in-law soon.
Miao Jing had the same intention too. “I also wish to do so. I am going to be a grandmother soon. I also hope that it will be the same for you. While I care very much about my paternal grandchild, I will love my maternal grandchild too. The problem is that these two children of ours are stubborn ones. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have dragged their feet until now. Does your family’s Dongzi have any thoughts on this matter?”
Although Zhai Hua was very easy-going, she was a lady after all.
Regarding a topic such as weddings, Miao Jing, who had a traditional mindset, still felt that the lady’s side should not be the one taking too much initiative. If the male’s family could propose or say something, the two families could sit down and discuss the matter together then.
Miao Jing sighed. “These two young ones are torturing us, their elders. They have feelings for each other but have never made themselves clear. Not to mention marriage, the two children have not even admitted that they are boyfriend and girlfriend. Tell me. What should we do?”
They had not even clarified their relationship. In her heart, Miao Jing blamed Tian Dong a little for not being direct enough, that he was not forthright in expressing himself.
Having encountered the pestering and shameless Wei De, Miao Jing felt extremely anxious looking at the quiet Tian Dong, who only knew how to stay by her daughter’s side without uttering a word.
Was it so difficult to make himself clear and clarify the relationship?
Could it be that Dongzi only wanted to maintain this kind of relationship—as good friends—with Hua Hua?
This might be enough for Dongzi but not her and her family. She wanted to let her daughter get married and be a mother-in-law. She still wanted to be a maternal grandmother!
Miao Jing had made herself clear. She was only short of adding a sentence: How exactly did Dongzi feel toward Hua Hua? If they had misunderstood Dongzi’s feelings toward Hua Hua, the two should quickly go their separate ways. Her family still wanted to continue in their search for a son-in-law.
Miao Jing was anxious. Mother Tian was even more so.
It was a pity that her son was very opinionated about this. In America, he never dated nor had any girlfriend. After returning to their home country, besides having some reaction when Zhai Hua from the Zhai family was mentioned, he had been keeping mum and not expressing his stand at other times. He rejected everything with thorough silence.
Just as she thought that there would be a show when her son saw Zhai Hua, hey, her son only cared about being good to the other party but did not talk about it.
As the mother, she very much wanted to punch her son and hoped that something would come out of it so that they could quickly confirm the relationship between the two families.
“Don’t worry. I will definitely get Dongzi to give Hua Hua an explanation.” Zhai Hua was not the ideal type of daughter-in-law of Mother Tian. However, it was terrifying that her son had dragged his feet so much. He had delayed for so long that Mother Tian dared not nitpick anymore.
It was fine as long as the other party was a woman and her background was chaste.
Zhai Hua was not very good-looking but she came from a good family.
As expected, this was a lady from the Zhai family and Mother Tian was not as insistent on her previous criteria. More than ten years ago, she said that she had to pick a daughter-in-law with a good temper, like women from the water town of Jiangnan. This daughter-in-law had to be able to take good care of the family and her son.
It could be said that ten years ago, besides the gender, the other criteria Mother Tian had for her daughter-in-law were the exact opposite of Zhai Hua.
After Qiao Nan could tell that Tian Dong was true to Zhai Hua, she had put the matter aside in her mind.
After all, she was a student who had to take examinations.
It was humid and hot in June. When the rainy season arrived, besides being humid, it was always raining. The Zhai family was jittery about having a pregnant woman who wanted to leave the house. They were extremely worried for Qiao Nan.
Fortunately, there was only this examination. When Qiao Nan was having her college entrance examination, the Zhai family did not even take care of Qiao Nan in this way. It was only the ordinary final semester examination but Zhai Hua drove Qiao Nan to school.
When Qiao Nan completed her examination, Zhai Hua’s car was already waiting for Qiao Nan for a long time.
Inevitably, this scene attracted the attention of many busybodies.
Due to the spouting of nonsense previously, someone had already suffered greatly and had not recovered from the ‘serious injuries’. She had been leading the life of a mouse, hiding in dark places and not daring to interact with others.
Regardless of how busybody the other people were, they knew that they could not provoke some people. It was better to avoid them.
Furthermore, although the person who came to pick Qiao Nan also drove a Land Rover which was beyond the reach of students like them, the driver was a grown-up lady. Like Qiao Nan, she was also a woman.
If they were to spout any nonsense, they would be embarrassing themselves instead of Qiao Nan.
“Finally, the exams are over. Nan Nan, in the next two months, you have to stay at home to nourish your fetus in peace. Don’t go to other places if it is not necessary. If you want to go out, you must tell me. I will keep you company.” Zhai Hua did not mind the trouble of reminding Qiao Nan when she was driving and glancing at Qiao Nan’s tummy, which was almost six months old.
They were extremely grateful for the summer vacation. To students, every vacation was a blessing!
Previously, Qiao Nan wore loose and big clothing to conceal her tummy. However, there were still many people in the school spreading that Qiao Nan had been putting on a lot of weight and her tummy had grown fatter.
Fortunately, these students were not very experienced in this area. They also did not think so much due to the impact of the examination.
Otherwise, they would discover a loophole. What kind of weight-gaining method would only cause meat to only grow on the tummy? If one were to really put on weight, shouldn’t every part of the body grow fatter at the same time?
Fortunately, at this time, all the students had to face two months of summer vacation after the examination.
It was just nice. Qiao Nan’s growing tummy that could not be concealed any further wouldn’t be exposed at school.
Having just finished the examination, Qiao Nan felt quite tired. She leaned on the seat and said, “Okay.”
Zhai Hua felt disheartened as she looked at Qiao Nan’s slim arms and legs. In her heart, she exclaimed her puzzlement that meat only grew on Qiao Nan’s tummy and not her other body parts although the auntie prepared so much good stuff for Qiao Nan.
Each time Zhai Hua had such doubts, the auntie would tell Zhai Hua that it could only mean that Qiao Nan’s body took in the nutrients well. In addition, all the nutrients had been taken in by the children.
