When Lu Zhengting returned, he found his house filled with people, all of whom were women.

He saw that the women were all surrounding his wife, who seemed to be writing something.

Two military wives were the first to spot him and quickly said to Lin Qingyan, "Dr. Lin, your boyfriend is back."

"Oh yes, Dr. Lin's lover is back."

Lu Zhengting: "..."

In the past, Xie and his friends would call him Comrade Xiao Lu when they met him, and they would also call his wife Xiao Lu's wife.

The way it's called has changed.

He truly became the man behind Lin Qingyan.

Lin Qingyan said to Lu Zhengting, "These women all want to go up the mountain with the soldiers to collect herbs tomorrow and contribute to our troops. I'm registering their names."

"Okay, you can write it. I'm going to the kitchen to cook."

As soon as Lu Zhengting turned around, several of his sisters-in-law suddenly burst into laughter.

One of them said, "Your family is the complete opposite of ours. Every time my husband comes home, I have to cook for him, and it has to be hot. He won't eat it if it's cold. I have to serve him until he's completely obedient. But Comrade Lu cooks as soon as he comes home. He's so much better than my husband."

Another sister-in-law said, "Comrade Lin is very busy too, but it seems that it's not common to see men cooking. When our child was young, I was too busy taking care of the child to cook. When my husband came home, he would just sit there. He wouldn't go to the kitchen to cook for himself or help me take care of the child. He would just wait for me to soothe the child before I would cook for him."

"Sigh, who isn't like that? In their eyes, it seems like washing clothes, cooking, having children, and raising children are all women's responsibilities. No matter how tired we are, they won't help us even if they have plenty of free time. If we don't serve them well, they'll complain and say things like, 'You're a woman, and you can't even take care of children and cook properly, what else can you do?'"

"Exactly, exactly. They think that since they earn money to support their families, we have to listen to them when we spend their money. If we don't earn money at home, it's like we haven't done anything. Sometimes we're not any easier than them, especially when we're pregnant or when the children are young."

Seeing them criticizing their men one after another, Lin Qingyan didn't want them to leave her place and then go home arguing with their husbands.

"Sisters, both men and women have their own hardships. If we can all be more understanding and tolerant of each other, that would be great."

"Yes, yes, please be more understanding and tolerant. Sometimes I feel that I am working hard, but then I think about how men have to train hard every day and go to the battlefield at any time. It is indeed not easy for them. At home, I will try my best to take good care of him."

"That's true. They really have it tough. We can't do what they do. Just consider what I said earlier as venting. I still need to take good care of them when I get home."

After Lin Qingyan saw her sisters-in-law off, Lu Zhengting had already cooked the noodles and added a poached egg.

He wore an apron and brought the noodles to his wife. Lin Qingyan found his current appearance somewhat amusing.

"You're starting to look like a stay-at-home dad now."

"I should be a stay-at-home dad."

"Yes, stay-at-home dads are fine too."

While the two were eating, Lin Qingyan told Lu Zhengting about the details of the women's activities in signing up to collect medicinal herbs.

“There are quite a few people signing up right now. After we finish eating, come with me to find the leader. Tell the leader about this so that we can arrange for these women to go up the mountain to collect herbs as soon as possible. We can gather enough herbs for the first batch and make medicinal powder so that you can take it with you when you go on missions, and it can also be used by the soldiers who are holding the line on the front lines.”

"Okay, we'll go after we finish eating."

After they finished eating and tidied up, they prepared to go to their division commander's house to discuss the matter.

They had just locked the door and hadn't even left the main entrance when Gu Mingzhou arrived with Lin Sisi.
