Chapter 197 Who is coaxing whom?
By the time the two of them went out, the food had been served. Ning Xi walked over to Zhang Ying and sat down. Zhang Ying immediately came over with a smile and asked, "Have you coaxed her yet?"
“Yeah!” Ning Xi nodded dullly.
"We've already coaxed you, and you're still not happy?" Zhang Ying glanced at Ning Xi and put the chopsticks into Ning Xi's hands. "It's not like you don't know that Lu Nan won't say anything nice when you're eating. He can be patient and coax him." You, just be content!”
“…”He coaxed her? It was obviously her who coaxed him.
No, wasn't it just to explain and coax her that he brought her back to the house?
Why did she end up coaxing him?
Ning Xi immediately became depressed. She found that she had no backbone in front of him and would always be the one who led him around.
Suddenly, the food on the table no longer smelled good. He picked up the food in the bowl and put it into his mouth, chewing angrily.
Zhang Ying bumped Ning Xi with her elbow, "Here! Your man has brought you food again."
Ning Xi came back to her senses and followed Zhang Ying's gaze.
That’s right! Lu Nan came over with a bowl and probably picked another fish for her.
Sure enough, the bowl contained more than half of the fish and some shrimp, so he and she exchanged bowls.
An aunt joked, "Xiao Nan, you are several tables away and you are still coming over to deliver food to Ning Xi. How about I change your seat?"
“Xiao Nan, if you don’t want to sit here, my sister-in-law can change seats with you.”
“Haha! Xiaonan, maybe my aunt will switch with you.”
Ning Xi’s lips were swollen when she came out. Who knows why they are swollen?
These two people are so clumsy even when they are eating. If we can't coax them, who will do it?
"No, I just gave Xiao Xi some fish and shrimp. Fish and shrimp are calcium supplements. She doesn't like fish and is too lazy to peel shrimps. I didn't help her pick out the fish bones and peel off the shrimp shells. She didn't even use chopsticks. Not even willing to go." Lu Nan didn't feel embarrassed after being teased by everyone, so he explained with a smile and left.
"Ning Xi is happy. The man is considerate and knows to look after you first no matter how far away he is."
Everyone at the table looked at Ning Xi with envy. The older aunts were just envious, but the young sister-in-law felt sour in her heart. If only her men were half as considerate as Lu Nan, they would be satisfied. Here we go!
This probably means that if there is no comparison, there will be no harm. Once there is comparison, the person will be stabbed to pieces.
The banquet didn't end until three in the afternoon. After cleaning up the inside and outside, we stayed in the town where we stayed one night and returned early the next morning.
Because Lu Nan's excuse for coming back this time was to come back and ask his wife to help make some pills. Ning Xi planned to make some more health pills for Lu Nan to take away. With Lu Nan here, it would not be Ning Xi's turn to do these tasks. To do it, she only had to wrap herself in a quilt and direct Lu Nan to grind the medicinal materials and make pills.
Of course, Lu Nan still takes time to take Ning Xi out for a walk every morning and afternoon. Women in the countryside have easy childbirth because they have a big belly and continue to work. When Ning Xi was studying before, I can still exercise every day. Since the weather got cooler during the holidays, the amount of exercise has been reduced. Most of the time I stay in bed all day and refuse to get out of bed. If this continues, it will definitely be difficult to give birth in the future.
Ning Xi knew all this, but she was afraid of the cold and too lazy to exercise. She didn't know how Lu Nan knew this. Anyway, no matter what she said, she would still be caught going for a walk in the end.
On the sixth day after returning home, Lu Nan was leaving. Ning Xiuhe helped prepare a bunch of things early in the morning, and Lu Nan was going back with the large army.
"Xiaonan, you can't eat cured meats in the imperial capital, and you can't come back during the Chinese New Year. I packed some cured meat, cured chicken, cured duck, and sausages for you. You can bring some with you and let the kitchen help cook a piece from time to time. Improve your life and celebrate the Chinese New Year. You can also bring some out to the kitchen to cook with your comrades.” In the past, when preparing to leave after the New Year, Zhou Hui and Wang Xiuqin would help prepare some, but Lu Nan always refused on the excuse that it was not convenient to cook. Lu Nan, whose mother-in-law had made such preparations, could not refuse and could only nod in agreement.
“I also boiled five eggs for you to eat on the train when you go back.”
Lu Nan twitched, "Mom, I won't bring the egg with you. You can keep it for Xiao Xi to eat. She needs nutrition now. When I returned to the emperor, I took the army's helicopter. Sitting with the large army... It’s very particular, there’s no chance to eat eggs in the car.”
"That's it! Okay, I'll leave two for you to eat on the way to Yun Province." Ning Xiuhe could only take out three more eggs.
Lu Nan picked up an egg, cracked it, peeled one and handed it to Ning Xi.
“I had enough to eat in the morning.”
“It’s okay to eat one more egg.”
Ning Xi shook her head and was not happy to eat it. “Eating too many eggs will cause high cholesterol.”
"You just don't like eggs. You always make excuses. Eat them quickly. It doesn't matter if you eat an extra one occasionally." Lu Nan forced the eggs into Ning Xi's hand.
Doesn’t he know about her yet?
I just don’t like eggs.
Seeing Ning Xi obediently take a bite of the egg, Lu Nan said to Ning Xiuhe, "Mom, you can steam it for her in the morning. She doesn't like rice pot eggs very much."
“I said it’s so hard to get her to eat eggs every morning. You girl also likes to eat steamed eggs. You need to tell your mother!”
Ning Xi smiled and quickly changed the subject, "Didn't you say last time that your comrades like my snacks? I asked my mother to pack some more snacks for you. You can take some and give them to them."
“No matter how much you pretend, it won’t be enough for them to eat. They are all very greedy.”
Hearing what Lu Nan said, Ning Xi seemed particularly happy, "It's a good thing that they like it! This shows that our snacks will sell well even outside."
After Ning Xiuhe finished packing her things, Zhou Tong also arrived. Zhou Tong wanted to drive Lu Nan to the city to take the train.
Walking to the car, Lu Nan couldn't help but repeat the conversation, "Mom, you must take Xiao Xi out for a walk every day, but don't let her go as she pleases."
"Okay." Even though Lu Nan had asked this question several times, Ning Xiuhe still nodded in good temper and agreed. Her son-in-law could care about her daughter in everything. It was too late for her to be happy, so how could she not be bothered.
Lu Nan looked at Lu Bei again, "Xiao Bei remembers to accompany her every time. It's slippery outside. If your Aunt Ning can't support your sister-in-law, you have to help support her."
"Brother, don't worry, even if you don't tell me, I will follow." Lu Bei nodded and agreed. In fact, even if Lu Nan didn't say anything, he would have followed. The last time he didn't follow her out, Ning Xi was taken away. He wouldn't I dare not follow my sister-in-law again.
Lu Nan looked at Ning Xi again.
Knowing what else he wanted to say, she vowed, "I will eat well, sleep well, exercise every day, and never go out alone. If I feel uncomfortable, I will tell you immediately. I will tell you before I give birth."
"It's good to know, don't worry me all the time." Lu Nan touched Ning Xi's head, explained a few more words, said a few words to Lu Zhenghai and the others, got in the car and left.
