The Reborn Sidekick Rejected The Male Lead-Chapter 329 - 319: The Glory of the Husband

Time flew by, and Second Cousin returned from restocking his inventory, bringing back a single-seater sofa, a double-seater, and he himself somehow ended up with a triple-seater.

That big car was already half full with just the sofas.

The quality of the leather on the sofas was indisputably genuine; the quality was truly good.

A single-seater was placed in the small study on the second floor, another in the study on the third floor, and the double-seater went directly into the small living room on the second floor.

Sitting on it was exceptionally comfortable, and in the evenings after she finished school, she enjoyed sitting there, reading a book, and it was very easy to fall asleep.

Today, she had fallen asleep on the sofa in the small living room, and because she wasn’t covered with a blanket, she was awoken by the cold.

Checking the time, it was already past nine.

She quickly got up to rest in her room.

When Lu Jingqiu went to bed, she checked the calendar on the bedside table, and her husband had been away on a business trip for over a month now, with still no news.

She had called Grandpa last week, and he said that Jiang Nanzhou was with the team, and he hadn’t come back this week either, probably very busy.

He also mentioned that after the competition, he would ask Jiang Nanzhou to give her a call back.

Lu Jingqiu had also called her father, but unfortunately, her father wasn’t with the team, he had gone out for training with his group.

Though Lu Jingqiu missed him dearly, she knew this was something that couldn’t be changed.

While patiently waiting for her husband to return, Lu Jingqiu also recommended her own "Me and My Cat’s Daily Life" and "The Bear Who Wouldn’t Brush His Teeth" to Zhang Miao.

Zhang Miao thought both were good and took them back to discuss with her team.

She also inquired about Lu Jingqiu’s "Four Seasons of Meals," currently being serialized in People’s Daily.

Lu Jingqiu took out the originals of "Four Seasons of Meals" for her to see.

After looking at them, Zhang Miao was utterly amazed, "For paintings, you have to see them in color. Jingqiu, your picture book is ready for printing."

"Publishing so many at once? How about we publish the first two first, and I want to wait a bit longer for this one."

"Sure thing, I’ll bring these two back for discussion first."

As Zhang Miao was leaving, she also gave Lu Jingqiu several illustration tasks.

In the past few days, Lu Jingqiu had been taking the bus to school in the morning, with the cold wind whooshing by, and she was considering whether to live at the school this winter.

There was nothing undesirable about staying at the school, as their dormitory housed few people and the building wasn’t very tall.

Before she knew it, a month and a half had passed, and Jiang Nanzhou had still not returned.

Lu Jingqiu made a call to Capital City, only to find out that her grandfather had been called to attend a grand performance, and just as she was thinking of calling her father, she came home from school that afternoon to find the front door open and the kitchen wafting with the rich aroma of food.

Lu Jingqiu instantly guessed who it was and joyfully rushed to the kitchen, "Husband, you’re back."

Jiang Nanzhou had also heard her entering the house and was cleaning his hands when Lu Jingqiu reached the kitchen door.

"Wife, I’m back."

"I’ve missed you so much."

"Me too, I’m sorry to have worried you. Things have been hectic lately, I didn’t have a chance to go back to Grandpa’s place, nor could I make a phone call."

"I was getting worried, I was about to take leave and come check on you. Weren’t you supposed to be gone for just a month?"

"After the competition ended, the leaders kept me back."

"Did something happen?"

Jiang Nanzhou smiled, "Of course, it’s good news. Your husband won first place in the team event and first place individually in the big competition."

"Really!"

"Come on, I have something to show you."

He said while pulling Lu Jingqiu’s hand, went to the living room, took out two certificates from the bag, a medal, and five hundred yuan as a prize.

Lu Jingqiu knew that Jiang Nanzhou had many certificates, but she didn’t expect him to have a prize as well: "Husband, I always knew you were the best one." Saying so, she kissed Jiang Nanzhou on the cheek.

It made Jiang Nanzhou’s gaze deepen when he looked at her.

"Has the baby been giving you any trouble lately?"

"No, it’s been great. Eating well, sleeping well, and I don’t find meaty foods greasy anymore. I can eat them."

"That’s good. I came back and saw you didn’t finish the bird’s nest. Why didn’t you eat it?"

"I wanted to save it to eat with you when you returned."

"I’m a grown man; I don’t care for that stuff. Go ahead and eat it, and after you’re finished, I’ll get you some more."

"No need. To get those, you have to climb very high, it’s too dangerous. I’m definitely not lacking nutrients right now. As long as you’re with me, that’s enough."

"Okay, I’ll be with you from now on, and I’ll pick you up and drop you off every day starting next week."

"Every day? Do you have time in the afternoon?"

"The boss gave me two weeks of leave."

"Ah, that’s a lot, that’s wonderful."

"Come on, I made mutton stew for you. Let’s have mutton soup today."

"Where did you get the mutton?"

"Bought it from Comrade Xue’s shop."

"Good, with this weather, drinking mutton soup is the best. By the way, our shop has been doing really well lately. I’ll take you there for beef soup tomorrow."

"Okay, I’ll go check it out."

Jiang Nanzhou’s mutton soup was very rich, and the meat was tender, having been stewed for two hours, he said.

Lu Jingqiu found it very tasty and, remembering something, said, "Husband, have you noticed that everything from Niannian’s family tastes so good? Whether it’s vegetables or poultry and meat, it’s all delicious."

Jiang Nanzhou pondered for a moment before replying, "Indeed."

"I used to be a bit nauseous, but after eating at her place a few times, that went away. Neither Xinyue nor I have had this issue with morning sickness."

"Really, from now on let’s buy from her family."

"Yeah, right, did you see dad during your trip? I haven’t been able to get in touch with him."

"I did, he’s been busy training troops. He’s been in charge for such a long time, the leaders want to see their progress, so dad will be very busy these next few months. I reminded him to take care of his health, and we’ll go back to Capital City for the New Year."

"Good, how’s grandpa doing? Every time I call him, he says he’s doing fine."

"He is doing well. He’s got personal guards, goes out with a few friends, and the team arranges regular health check-ups for them. Grandpa also praised you for being skillful and thoughtful, saying that I’m not as good as my granddaughter-in-law. He hasn’t had anyone prepare clothes for him all these years, but it’s different with a granddaughter-in-law."

Lu Jingqiu laughed with slight embarrassment: "I’m glad grandpa likes it."

"He likes it very much, and it fits him perfectly."

After dinner, Lu Jingqiu carefully put away Jiang Nanzhou’s certificates and awards, then told him about some new additions to the house, a sofa, and ten acres of land.

Jiang Nanzhou didn’t ask many questions. His wife managed the money at home, and she could buy whatever she wanted. His wife always had her own ideas about purchases, something he couldn’t match, so it was right just to listen to his wife.

On this trip back to Capital City, both grandpa and mom told him to listen to his wife more, and it wasn’t wrong for a man to listen to his wife.

He agreed to everything and hadn’t yet had a chance to tell them about Jingqiu’s pregnancy. If they knew, they would have surely praised them even more. They would wait until the New Year to give them a surprise.
