Chapter 215 No Trouble

The little guy was happy to help his mother run errands. He ran happily to the yard door and stood on tiptoe to pull the bolt.

"Auntie!"

An An saw Yang Hongmei outside the door and called out to her politely.

"Hey, An An, have you eaten?" Yang Hongmei agreed with a smile, walked in and put Niu Niu down.

"Let's eat spicy food!" The little guy nodded and skillfully pulled Niu Niu to play nearby.

Yang Hongmei raised her eyes and looked into the room, her sight met that of an unfamiliar middle-aged woman. She smiled and nodded, secretly wondering in her heart, could this be Lin Xia's mother-in-law?

Lin Xia knew that it was Yang Hongmei who came to visit. There was nothing to entertain her, so she could only visit and chat about gossip.

"This is Yu Xiu's aunt, a very good obstetrician and gynecologist." Lin Xia introduced Aunt Lu with a smile.

Aunt Lu was a little surprised to hear Lin Xia introduce her like this. The proud tone made Aunt Lu blush with praise.

"Wow, that's amazing!" Yang Hongmei was indeed very surprised when she heard it, and her tone was full of admiration and respect.

Lin Xia was also surprised when she first saw it. The doctor-patient relationship in later generations was very complicated, but in this era, the public was full of trust and respect for doctors.

Even if medical personnel were criticized, the masses would shout "They should not be killed," and many doctors were thus spared from the turmoil.

"No, no, just an ordinary doctor." Aunt Lu blushed even more at Yang Hongmei's tone. People at that time valued the virtue of modesty, and would even belittle themselves when praised.

When Lin Xia was a child, she helped her grandmother with things and was praised by neighbors for being sensible. But her grandmother would wave her hands and say that the child was just making trouble.

At that time, Lin Xia didn’t understand why her grandmother said that, but she was indeed sad for a long time because of her grandmother’s words.

"This is my neighbor Yang Hongmei, who lives next door to me. As soon as I arrived at the family quarters, Sister Hongmei took good care of me." These words were spoken with a hint of the intimacy of an acquaintance or friend, and Aunt Lu immediately understood that the two must have a good relationship.

"Thank you so much for taking care of Xiao Xia."

"That's no big deal! We are all military wives, we should help each other." Yang Hongmei waved her hand. As the saying goes, a distant relative is not as good as a close neighbor, and Lin Xia's personality is easy to get along with, so it can't be considered as taking care of herself.

Lin Xia strolled in the yard holding her belly. Aunt Lu and Yang Hongmei stood together and chatted. The two people who met for the first time were having a very pleasant chat.

After Lu Yuxiu came out of the shower, he saw the two of them chatting but didn't go over to disturb them. He greeted Sister Yang and went to Lin Xia and strolled with her.

Aunt Lu looked at the young couple walking together. The scene was very pleasing to the eyes. The man was tall and handsome, and the woman was delicate and pretty, exuding a gentle temperament.

The two of them were whispering to each other, and it was unknown what funny topic they were talking about. Lin Xia's face broke into a bright smile, which made the usually serious and resolute man soften. He silently stretched out his hand to protect the pregnant woman and help her stand steady.

When Yang Hongmei saw Aunt Lu looking at Lin Xia and the others, she looked over as well. She felt a little annoyed and turned back, feeling a little worried about Lin Xia.

When she first got married to her husband, it is inevitable that newlyweds would be unable to resist being close to each other like this. As a result, when her mother-in-law saw this, she told her to be careful and not to embarrass herself in public by owing men.

These words were a heavy blow to Yang Hongmei, but fortunately she was now with the army and could just send some money home.

Although Yang Hongmei felt a little annoyed, she felt happy when she saw such a relationship. However, there are always some people who think that it is immoral. Now, she doesn't know what her in-laws will say when they see Lin Xia and the others like this.

Aunt Lu's face turned red. She felt that Yang Hongmei was still here, and it would not be good if someone saw them. She was worried that Yang Hongmei would think that Lin Xia and the others were not serious.

When she looked away, she happened to meet Yang Hongmei's eyes. Aunt Lu said seriously, "The newly married couple have a good relationship at home."

Aunt Lu said that at home on purpose for Yang Hongmei to hear, to remind her that the young couple was just loving each other at home and it wasn't a big deal, so she shouldn't use this matter to have any opinion about Lin Xia.

Yang Hongmei vaguely understood what Aunt Lu meant. She felt relieved for Lin Xia when she heard her say that. She quickly agreed, "That's what you said. It's a good thing for a young couple to have a good relationship. It's better than having no relationship at all."

After hearing this, Aunt Lu met Yang Hongmei's eyes and realized that they were overthinking.

They immediately smiled at each other and stopped looking at the young couple. They continued chatting, their tone much more intimate than before.

Early the next morning.

After Lu Yuxiu changed his clothes, he saw Lin Xia looking at him with her big eyes, her clear eyes didn't even blink. He was used to his wife being like this, and he didn't feel as uncomfortable as before.

"Sleep a little longer?"

"I don't want to sleep anymore." Lin Xia stretched out her hand and asked Lu Yuxiu to pull her up. She felt heavy and it would be more uncomfortable if she slept for too long.

Lu Yuxiu helped Lin Xia up, and after she changed her clothes, they walked out of the room hand in hand.

Walking to the stairs, which was closer to Aunt Lu's bedroom, Lin Xia knew that she must be tired these days, so she gestured to Lu Yuxiu, asking him to speak in a lower voice.

Lu Yuxiu understood her gesture, smiled helplessly, and followed her downstairs quietly.

One person cooks and the other does the housework, a skilled and tacit division of labor.

Aunt Lu opened her eyes drowsily. A ray of sunlight came through the gap in the curtains, which was not drawn tightly, indicating that it was getting late.

Aunt Lu suddenly turned over and sat up. She came here to take care of Lin Xia, so why did she sleep so late?

When she walked out of the room, she saw that only the little one's room was closed, and the door of the master bedroom was open. Aunt Lu raised her hand to check the time, and it was already seven o'clock.

I hurried downstairs and heard voices coming from the kitchen, so I walked over.

"Aunt, are you awake? Did you sleep well last night?" Lin Xia asked with a smile when she saw Aunt Lu got up.

"Thank you. I overslept and you should call me." Aunt Lu looked a little embarrassed.

Seeing that Lin Xia and Lu Yuxiu were almost done with the meal, Aunt Lu felt a little sorry, "Is there anything I can help with?"

"The meal will be ready soon. There is hot water here. Auntie, go wash up first." Lin Xia smiled and pointed to the kettle on the coal stove.

Aunt Lu then remembered that she had not washed yet, and turned to go to the bathroom.

Lu Yuxiu went upstairs to call the children to get up and eat. Lin Xia first put the seafood porridge into the bowls, so that when Aunt and An An finished washing up, the temperature would be just right. Eating too much freshly cooked hot porridge would be bad for the esophagus.

Lu Yuxiu used to eat the food directly no matter how hot it was. When Lin Xia saw this, she would serve it out in advance and let it dry.

"You don't find it troublesome to have so many options for breakfast?"

Aunt Lu exclaimed in surprise that preparing a table full of fancy dishes looked like it would take a lot of time.
