After Transmigrating, The Fat Wife Made A Comeback! Chapter 1528 Decide to Become a Military Spouse

Chapter 1528  Decide to Become a Military Spouse

"If the two of them meet, they'll start fighting again. I think we should just leave it. When my grandfather figures things out one day, he will naturally come and talk to Grandpa Qiao," Xia Zhe said.

After settling those messy issues in the Liang family, Qiao Mei began to focus on learning how to take care of the two babies herself. From the moment the children were born until now, Feng Hua had helped her to take care of the children. She felt a little fl.u.s.tered when she thought of having to deal with these two little ones alone.

It was not a problem for her to take care of one child, but it was probably beyond her ability to take care of two children at the same time.

Feng Hua imparted all her experiences to Qiao Mei. Given how smart Qiao Mei was, it did not take long for her to grasp all the little tricks of the trade. Fortunately, Xia Fan was very obedient and would not cause any trouble as long as he was well fed. It was Xia Xing who was a little more difficult to take care of.

"Sister Feng, when I leave, can you go to my mother-in-law's place to take care of them? I'll pay you the same salary as before," Qiao Mei asked.

"Sure, I'm fine with anything," Feng Hua said.

Feng Hua was really fond of Qiao Mei. After working as a nanny for so many years, she had not met anyone as amiable as Qiao Mei. She had originally wanted to help bring up the two children until they were grown.

After thinking about it for a few days, Qiao Mei decided to become a military spouse and bring the children along with her. As long as they could stay by Xia Zhe's side, it was worth the effort no matter how tough and tiring it was.

The most important thing was for the family to stay together. After seeing what Xia Guang and Zhou Hua went through, she could tell what a painful experience it was for a family to live apart all year round. Qiao Mei also did not want the children to become distant from Xia Zhe.

"There are two types of housing for a military spouse to choose from, an apartment or a single-story house. The single-story houses are more rundown and we will need to do the repairs ourselves. The apartments are all new," Xia Zhe said.

Qiao Mei wanted the single-story house for sure! The apartment buildings in this era were not very well-built and both the workmans.h.i.+p and materials used were fairly slipshod. The soundproofing and st.u.r.diness were also not good. As the children grew up, they would become more and more mischievous. What if they cried at night and disturbed the neighbors? It would not reflect well on Xia Zhe then. She was also worried that loud noises from someone else's house would affect her children.

It was better to live in a single-story house where she could also plant in the courtyard. Given that it was necessary for Qiao Mei to have plants around her, it was better to live in a single-story house.

"That's what I think too. I'll make a call to submit the application later," Xia Zhe said.

He did not want other people to be able to see Qiao Mei every day! He also did not want those people to hear Qiao Mei's sweet voice. He did not want Qiao Mei to hold back all the time.

It was more difficult to apply for a single-story house than an apartment, but Xia Zhe's rank was high enough for it not to be a problem. Qiao Mei wanted to go over and take a look as soon as possible. She was worried that those people would use inferior furniture and paint materials in order to complete the repairs quickly. Such lousy things were not good for the children's health, so she would rather spend her own money to do the renovations.

Xia Zhe's vacation break was not over yet, but Qiao Mei really wanted to go there to carry out the repair works. Therefore, the two of them packed their things and left the capital. Xu Lan and the rest could not bear to part with Qiao Mei. The thought of having to part with the two children made them sad as well.

However, it was not as if Qiao Mei was never coming back. In the event that she could not get used to life there, she could apply to go home at any time.

The living conditions in the army were definitely tougher than in the city. In order to let the military wives live more comfortably, the single-story houses came with exceptionally big courtyards. There might be nothing much in this place but land was definitely in abundance.

Qiao Mei had thought that it would be like the small tiled house they had in Foshan Village. She did not expect the house to have four big rooms and that they were the sole occupants. The extent of damage in each room was different and she decided to do the repairs slowly when she had more time.

Most importantly, Qiao Mei realized that the water quality here was quite good and the land was also very suitable for growing fruits and vegetables. She had even specially brought along a lot of modified seeds! She also had some flower seeds with her. When the time came, she would mark out a spot in the courtyard and ask Xia Zhe to make a swing for her. She wanted to create a beautiful garden!

After entering the house, Qiao Mei realized that the tables and chairs inside were very badly damaged and the corners of the tables were all very sharp. What if the children knocked into them? However, these were all standard furniture supplied by the military and she did not know if they would allow her to change it out.

"Don't worry, we can buy whatever we want," Xia Zhe said as he put his arm around Qiao Mei's shoulder. He could tell at a glance what Qiao Mei was worried about.

"That's great! I'll call Xia He later and ask her to go shopping. Then we can ask Lu Huai to send the things here!" Qiao Mei said as she looked at Xia Zhe.
