Rebirth to a Military Marriage: Good Morning Chief Novel - Chapter 1198

Chapter 1198: Reminder

However, while her classmates were doing their revision, she was doing the homework and reading the materials that Lin Yuankang, her master, prepared for her.

“The exams are finally over. It is a pity that the winter break is too short. It is barely for a month.” Qiao Nan, who just finished the exams, looked regretful. If the winter break was longer, she might be able to complete all the homework that her master prepared for her.

Xu Shengnan, who was back at school, heard Qiao Nan’s words. She was speechless. “If I remember correctly, you no longer need to take a train back home. Your house is now at…” Xu Shengnan looked around before she lowered her voice. “Didn’t you say that you are staying in the capital?”

“Yes.” That was right. Now that she no longer needed to go back to Ping Cheng, she did not need to spend time making the trip to Ping Cheng. In that case, she would have approximately three more days to study. “But the problem is the Lunar New Year is coming. One has to visit the relatives. Do you think that I do not need to go back?”

Xu Shengnan looked conflicted. “Qiao Nan, although you did not tell me much about your situation, I feel that you have a complicated family.” Whenever girls of similar age gathered together, they would usually gossip about the celebrity stars that they liked, which male student from a particular faculty was handsome, or their family situations.

Xu Shengnan had known Qiao Nan for one and a half years. Qiao Nan seldom talked about her family. Even if she talked about the Qiao family, she would only make a few passing remarks.

If someone was so secretive about one’s family situation, it must be for a reason.

In the one and a half years that she knew Qiao Nan, Xu Shengnan felt that she was a nice and good-tempered girl. She might not be as bubbly and cheerful as her peers, but a quiet and reserved Qiao Nan was just as friendly and lovable.

Xu Shengnan believed that if a girl like her had no wish to talk about her family, the problem must be with the Qiao family instead of Qiao Nan.

Qiao Nan forced a smile. “Senior, you have been thinking too much. My family situation is not as complicated as what you made it be. There is a saying in China: A daughter married is like water spilled. Have you forgotten that I am already attached? According to the customs at my place, once a lady is engaged, she is no different from being married. My fiancé has moved to the capital due to work reasons, so I have been staying in the capital as well. It has nothing to do with my parental family.”

“Is that so?” Xu Shengnan knew that the customs in different places were different. She might not have known it, but that did not mean that it did not exist. “If getting engaged is tantamount to getting married, the customs at your place must be… Nevertheless, all that matters is that you are happy. Whenever I see you in school, your eyes seem to be smiling. It seems that your in-laws treat you very well. It is good that you are leading a happy life. There is no need to care about other matters.”

Although Qiao Nan rarely spoke about her family, it did not mean that Xu Shengnan knew nothing about it.

Since Xu Shengnan managed to get into Peking University, she must have a high EQ.

Every family usually only had one child, or two children at most.

After the Lunar New Year, Qiao Nan was only twenty-two years old according to the Chinese Lunar age. In other words, since there were so few children in the family, Qiao Nan was still considered as a child.

No family would want their daughter to be seen as married once she was engaged.

The in-laws were different from the parental family. Xu Shengnan had grown up and she was about to graduate from school. Her mother would tell her about the problems between the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law. According to her mother and what she had observed, she had come to one conclusion: Compared to staying with one’s family, it was not as comfortable to stay with the in-laws.

It was odd that Qiao Nan’s parental family did not mind that Qiao Nan lived with the in-laws.

Unless the parents did not care for the children, all parents would be worried. Their daughter was married at a young age and she might suffer in the in-laws’ house. There was no way that the parental family could help their children or stand up for them.

“Don’t worry. My in-laws are friendly and they are nice people.” Qiao Nan had a more genuine smile on her face. She only felt at home when she was at her in-laws’ house. It was different from being at the Qiao family’s residence.

Qiao Nan always felt that it was her fortune to meet Zhai Sheng in this life. It was her blessing to be married to him and to have such wonderful in-laws like the Zhai family. She had used up all her luck in the two lifetimes to have such a good family. She was glad to have endured all those hardships and found such a good family and husband.

She was willing to use her luck in her two lifetimes in exchange for her happiness in this life.

Looking at the way that Qiao Nan was blushing, Xu Shengnan breathed a sigh of relief. “Previously, you have lost so much weight. I thought that…” She thought that Qiao Nan’s in-laws had been bullying her and her parental family did not step in to help. As a result, her in-laws were fearless as Qiao Nan had no one to stand up for her.

Xu Shengnan did not believe that Qiao Nan was unwell due to the high temperature in summer and hence lost some weight.

“It seems that, at least, something was done right.” Xu Shengnan believed that Qiao Nan’s parental family was not good to their daughter, and she was right indeed.

Although the parental family was not good to Qiao Nan, at least, they had found Qiao Nan a good in-law.

This was why Xu Shengnan praised the Qiao family.

“Alright, stop complaining that the winter break is only one month long. The Lunar New Year is coming. It is time to feast and gain weight. Many girls wish that the winter break will be shorter. They are worried that if the winter break is too long, they will spend too much time feasting. By the time the weather is hotter and there is no need to wear layers of clothes, one could tell that they have put on weight. You are too skinny. There is no need to worry about putting on weight. You should have more food.”

Xu Shengnan sized up Qiao Nan’s slim figure. “Look at you. Why wasn’t the flesh on your chest distributed to other parts of the body?”

Qiao Nan burst out in laughter. “Senior Xu, I am not going to take issue with what you said previously, but from your last sentence, you seem to be jealous. Senior, are you envious that I am voluptuous?” With that, Qiao Nan puffed her chest blatantly.

It was true that Qiao Nan had a better figure after giving birth to the triplets.

Not many female students could be her match.

Unfortunately, Xu Shengnan was flat-chested as well. There was no way that she would not be jealous of Qiao Nan’s high chest.

“Stop puffing your chest. It is already very voluptuous.” Xu Shengnan pretended to give Qiao Nan an angry stare. “Luckily, we are not outside. Do you know that many male students will suffer from nosebleed at your action? Alright, I believe that your in-laws have been treating you well. I remember when I first saw you half a year or one year ago, you did not have such a good figure. Your in-laws must take the credit for your good figure. Your husband stands to gain. By the way, I have to remind you about something.”
