Chapter 139 Mutual Trust

Lu Yuxiu was stunned. When he left, there was no change in Lin Xia's stomach.

When they first met, Lin Xia's pajamas were loose, and the lights at night were not that bright, so he didn't look there carefully. But now when he touched her, he immediately felt something different.

It was not as flat as before, and one could feel the undulating curves. Lu Yuxiu was a little afraid to touch it hard.

Lin Xia noticed his stiffened arms, smiled slightly and pressed his big hands on her belly, "She's grown a little bit."

"Yeah." The man was silent for a few seconds, his voice much lower than usual.

It was ready after a while. Lin Xia couldn't help but took a small bowl and put some in it. The two of them sat at the table and ate together.

It didn't take long before half a bowl of noodles was finished.

"Do you want more?" Lu Yuxiu saw that she only ate a little and felt that it was too little.

Lin Xia waved her hands quickly. She had already eaten a lot for dinner. She just felt a little greedy when she smelled the food.

Seeing that she really didn't want it, Lu Yuxiu started eating with big mouthfuls. He was still very hungry.

After eating, Lu Yuxiu went to take a shower and Lin Xia went to clean the kitchen.

It was almost ten-and-a-half when the two of them lay down on the bed. When Lu Yuxiu was not at home, Lin Xia would go to bed with the children at around eight o'clock. There was no TV or entertainment at this time, so apart from reading and working, they could only go to bed early.

Lying in the arms she hadn't seen for a long time, Lin Xia felt very at ease and sleepiness came all of a sudden.

Hearing Lin Xia's even breathing, Lu Yuxiu was not sleepy. He carefully placed his hand on her belly. Although he didn't feel anything, he still found it magical.

When Lin Xia woke up the next day, she found that the little one was sleeping soundly. Lu Yuxiu also did not get up, which was unusual for him. He held her in his strong arms and did not show any sign of waking up.

Lin Xia didn't want to disturb this rare moment, but she had eaten a bowl of noodles with soup last night and now she was in a very urgent need to pee. She broke free from his arms and was about to get up.

"What's wrong?" Lu Yuxiu opened his eyes and saw that she woke up so early.

"It's okay, you continue sleeping." Lin Xia was about to roll over the man and go to the bed when she was stopped by a big hand.

"Let me go, I need to go to the bathroom." There was a hint of anxiety in his tone, but he was afraid of waking up the little one.

Seeing her anxious tone, Lu Yuxiu didn't dare to make a fuss anymore. He quickly let her go, stood up with her, and followed her all the way to the bathroom door.

When she came out, she saw Lu Yuxiu standing at the door. Lin Xia thought he was going to the bathroom, so she stepped aside and said, "Go ahead."

"Are you still asleep?" Lu Yuxiu didn't want to go to the bathroom. He just followed Lin Xia unconsciously and wanted to see her.

"What time is it?" Lin Xia looked at the sky. In summer, the sun rises early and it is impossible to tell what time it is.

Knowing that it was only half past six, Lin Xia felt that she could still sleep a little longer, so she leaned on Lu Yuxiu and said, "Drag me away."

Feeling the strength in his body, Lu Yuxiu raised the corners of his lips, and willingly bent down to pick up Lin Xia.

Seeing that he didn't seem to be struggling at all, Lin Xia sighed, "When your belly gets bigger, I won't be able to hold you anymore."

"Impossible, I can definitely carry her." Lu Yuxiu felt the weight in his hand. It was nothing. Even if she was twice as heavy, it would still be a piece of cake.

The two of them talked in low voices and fell asleep for a while.

The little guy woke up and groped for Lin Xia before opening his eyes. Just as he was about to pick her up, he realized something was wrong. As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw there was an extra person on the bed.

Lu Yuxiu felt movement on his arm, and when he opened his eyes, he saw that the little guy had woken up and was looking at him blankly.

"Dad?" There was a tone of surprise in his voice.

"Um."

Lin Xia woke up after hearing this, and the family of three suddenly became lively.

The little guy had a lot to say to his dad. He talked about how fun his slide was and how scary the typhoon a few days ago was. His little mouth was chattering non-stop.

There is no need to interrupt, just say "and then?" and the little one can continue the conversation.

Lu Yuxiu remembered the sofa he saw last night and a strange-looking object next to the sofa, but he didn't pay much attention to it at the time.

The family of three made a fuss for a while, and when they got up it was almost eight o'clock.

While cooking in the kitchen, Lin Xia found out that Lu Yuxiu had just returned from a mission and didn't have to go to the camp today. She was immediately very happy.

After dinner, Lin Xia took Lu Yuxiu out to the town, and the family of three strolled leisurely. With him helping her pick up things, Lin Xia was finally able to buy things with confidence.

The most important thing was that she wanted to buy a sewing machine. She was not very good at sewing and it took her a long time to sew two diapers. Thinking that she would have to make clothes for the children in the future, she decided to buy a sewing machine. It was not very convenient to always borrow it from other people's homes.

Money and tickets weren't a problem, it was just that she couldn't get them back by herself.

Seeing that she wanted to buy a sewing machine, Lu Yuxiu had no objection: "What else do you want to buy?" He might have to go on a mission again someday and wouldn't be able to take care of the family all the time, but as long as Lin Xia wanted it, he would definitely find a way to do it.

Lin Xia thought about it but couldn't figure out what she was missing. She didn't know if it was because her pregnancy was causing her brain to not work well. She often only remembered something when she got to a certain place.

When they reached the fork in the road leading to the family building, Lu Yuxiu asked Lin Xia to wait while he went to borrow a bicycle to use to tow the sewing machine.

Lin Xia was waiting on the roadside when she met the woman again. She glanced at Lin Xia, and it was not clear whether she saw Lu Yuxiu pushing the cart over. After taking a look, she hurried away.

"Do you know her?" Lu Yuxiu noticed that glance sharply, looked at the other person's back, and thought he knew Lin Xia.

"I don't know her." After thinking for a while, Lin Xia told her how she looked at him yesterday.

Lu Yuxiu thought about it. He knew Zhou Hao's people, but he didn't know what his wife was like. If he didn't know, he would stay away from her. "It's okay. Just stay away from her."

This is what Lin Xia planned. After Lu Yu repaired the car, he took Lin Xia with him, and the little guy sat on the front handlebar.

They arrived at the market in a short while, parked the car and went to buy vegetables first. They came too late and missed the pork. Although the times were poor, pork would always be sold out whenever it was available, and they would not be able to buy it if they did not come early.

Lin Xia settled for the next best thing and bought a chicken, preparing to go home and make chicken soup to nourish Lu Yuxiu.

After buying the vegetables, they went to the seafood stall. It was a strange sight to have Lu Yuxiu by their side. After all, which man would go shopping for vegetables with them?

The last time he went shopping for groceries alone, he was already watched by onlookers. The military wife only knew that they were a couple, but had never seen them standing together.

There were all kinds of fish on the fish stall. Lin Xia was choosing with great interest. Just as she was thinking about what dish to cook today, she saw mackerel next to them. She immediately thought of mackerel dumplings.

The taste was delicate and special, which made me hungry immediately. What's more, they were all fresh, not frozen, so they must be more delicious. Lin Xia generously ordered three of them.

After buying the fish, Lin Xia didn’t look at it any more and went straight back to the market to buy a bunch of leeks, which were needed for the dumpling filling.

After buying vegetables, I went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy fruits.

Lin Xia went straight to the electrical appliance counter of the supply and marketing cooperative and spent 143 yuan to buy a Huanan brand sewing machine produced by the Guangcheng Huanan Sewing Machine Factory.

Lu Yuxiu put the sewing machine on the back seat of the car, hung the vegetables and other things on the handle, put the little one in the front seat, and pushed the car forward.

When a family of three returned home, the large item in the back seat of the car was very eye-catching. It was rare to have spare money to buy such a large item these days.

Most of those who can join the army have a high salary, but it is not easy for a family to raise several children. More people have to send money home to their parents, so they don't have enough money to buy this.

But Lin Xia knows that money is still valuable now, but when prices rise in the future, money will no longer be valuable.

Besides, after the reform, there will be no shortage of money to be made.
