Rebirth to a Military Marriage: Good Morning Chief

“Oh, given your family’s condition, you still have a nightdress? As for its design, there’s not much style to speak of. Nevertheless, the material is still fine. It’s cotton. Most importantly, it has been washed and is clean.” Miao Jing had a look of disdain as she took over the nightdress and placed it on her body to assess if it fitted her. “Fine, so be it. You go and boil the water.”

Qiao Nan took a sideways glance at Miao Jing. Auntie Miao seemed to have regained her energy and forgotten the ‘good deed’ done by Uncle Zhai. She looked like she was full of adrenaline and strength.

Qiao Nan was used to doing household chores. Hence, it was no trouble at all for her to prepare some boiling water for Miao Jing to wash up.

After Miao Jing finished washing up, she urged Qiao Nan to do so too.

When Qiao Nan came out with a pink and warm face, Miao Jing had already washed her clothes and hung it up to dry. “You’ve finished bathing. Let’s sleep together.”

“Together?”

“Yes.” Miao Jing gave a yawn. “I see the bed in your room is about 1.5 meters long. It’s not considered too small. Let’s squeeze a bit.”

“…” Qiao Nan’s lips curled. Auntie Miao never had enough. “There’s no need to squeeze. My dad’s bed is also 1.5 meters long. Both of us can each have a 1.5-meter bed. There’s no need to squeeze.” Clearly, there were two beds. Why did the two of them have to sleep together?

Qiao Nan, who had been sleeping alone for two lifetimes, felt awkward that she had to sleep with someone suddenly.

Furthermore, Miao Jing had already washed her lingerie. Although she was wearing a long dress, she was naked inside. Qiao Nan did not have the habit of wearing lingerie to sleep either. At the thought of two ‘naked’ women squeezing together in a 1.5-meter long bed, Qiao Nan had goosebumps all over her body.

“Alright, I don’t shun you. It’s already so late. Hurry up and sleep.” Miao Jing did not give Qiao Nan any chance. She simply pulled Qiao Nan back to the room as she lay on Qiao Nan’s bed. She even pulled Qiao Nan onto the bed.

Qiao Nan loved cleanliness. When she was at school and not at home, Qiao Dongliang often dried her blanket in the sun.

Therefore, there was a warm and sunny feel on Qiao Nan’s bed. In addition, Qiao Nan’s body also exuded a light fragrance.

Laying on Qiao Nan’s bed and using Qiao Nan’s blanket, Miao Jing gave a sigh. “This is really a young lady’s bed and blanket. It smells quite good.”

“…” Qiao Nan, who was lying down, froze. She did not feel as relaxed as Miao Jing.

Miao Jing yawned and covered herself fully with the blanket. “Qiao Nan, would that mother of yours make a nightdress for you? This nightdress is really too big. With your size, you can’t even wear this next year. Furthermore, at your age, it’s not possible to grow taller, right?”

Miao Jing was taller than Qiao Nan, but when she wore this nightdress, it reached just below her knees.

As per what Qiao Nan said, although Miao Jing was a mother of two children and could almost be a grandmother, her figure was extremely good. She was slim and had all the curves in the right areas.

“My mother initially made this nightdress for my sister.” Qiao Nan laughed bitterly. How would her mother make a nightdress for her? Of course, that was not possible. After Qiao Zijin attended school, she came into contact with more people. She then picked up the habit of listening to hearsay without basis.

When Qiao Zijin was in her second year of junior high school, Qiao Nan was in her first year. Unknowingly, Qiao Zijin heard from someone about the habit of wearing a nightdress or pajamas when sleeping. She then kicked up a fuss and insisted her mother to make one for her.

Since Qiao Zijin made a request, how could her mother refuse?

It was just that her mother acted smart over one matter. Her mother thought that Qiao Zijin was at her puberty age. The clothes Qiao Zijin wore at primary six could no longer be worn when she was in her first year of junior high school. Similarly, the clothes she wore in her first year of junior high school could not be worn in the following year as well.

Hence, her mother thought that since this was for sleeping, she bought the best material. It was quite expensive too. She might as well tailor-make a bigger size and let Qiao Zijin wear it for two to three years.

Who would have known that her mother was too greedy. She did not make it a little bigger, but a lot bigger than Qiao Zijin’s actual size.

Qiao Zijin was someone who loved looking pretty. At the sight of the straight and long dress without any waistline that caused those wearing it look fat and oversized, she flared up, threw a fit, and refused to accept it.

It was not possible to discard new clothing although Qiao Zijin did not want it. Hence, in the end, Qiao Nan ‘benefited’.

Qiao Zijin looked extremely fat and big wearing it. It was totally not suitable for her size. Qiao Nan was younger than Qiao Zijin by two years and much slimmer. It was thus not possible for Qiao Nan to wear this too. However, no one in the Qiao family cared about this problem at that time.

Qiao Nan saw that the material of the clothing was certainly quite good. Her mother was really willing to spend money on Qiao Zijin.

To Qiao Nan, who did not have new clothes to wear for years and was long used to wearing Qiao Zijin’s pre-loved clothing, it was very rare to receive one totally new garment that Qiao Zijin disliked.

“I see.” Miao Jing’s voice softened. Obviously, she did not expect such a reply. “Alright, it’s quite late. Quickly sleep.”

“Okay,” Qiao Nan said without expressing much emotion. She also wanted to sleep. But, she really could not sleep…

Not to mention an additional person lying beside her, when Qiao Nan was in a daze and about to fall asleep, the person beside her flipped, reached out her hands, and hugged Qiao Nan in her arms. It was as if she was holding a doll.

At this juncture, Qiao Nan could really forget about sleeping.

Miao Jing slept with her back curled. To accommodate Miao Jing, Qiao Nan also had to change her sleeping posture.

Only heaven knew that maintaining this posture for the entire night was such a painful matter for Qiao Nan.

Never did Zhai Sheng expect that his wife’s ‘first time’ was taken away by his mother.

The next day, Miao Jing was full of energy while Qiao Nan woke up with panda eyes.

“Did you become a thief yesterday? You’re so young and your dark circles are so serious?” Miao Jing, who did not know the situation and lacked the self-awareness, simply laughed at Qiao Nan when she saw this.

Qiao Nan tugged the corners of her lips. “Auntie Miao, did you have a good sleep yesterday?”

“Yes.” Miao Jing stretched herself. “In my impression, it’s been a long time since I slept so well.” Before she was married, she slept with her face down. Although she was tired out every day, she was able to sleep very well once she hit the bed at night.

After marrying Zhai Yaohui, her life became better, but she had never had a good night of sleep ever since.

“…” Qiao Nan smiled bitterly. “It’s good that you slept well.” At the very least, one of them had a good night of sleep. Auntie Miao was able to sleep so well while at someone else’s house and hugging someone else’s daughter.

Ring! Ring! Ring! At this moment, the phone in the house rang.

Qiao Nan stepped forward and picked it up. “Hello?”

“Nan Nan.”

“Dad, is there any matter?” Qiao Nan looked at the time. It’s just eight o’clock. Her father usually had gone to work at this hour. Of course, as it was the May Day holiday, her father could rest for a couple of days.

“Nan Nan, Chief Zhai is looking for his wife. W-what is happening?”
