Chapter 86: A Look-Based

Lin Xia looked towards the gate of the yard reflexively, but saw no one.

Following Lu Yuxiu's gaze, I saw a head popping up at the edge of the yard.

"Hello, you are my sister-in-law, right?" Wu Deye saw Lin Xia and greeted her quickly.

"Brother Wu, would you like to come and sit with us?" When Lu Yuxiu saw that it was Wu Deye, he stood up and greeted him. Although the two were of the same rank, Wu Deye had been in the army longer and was older than him.

"Hello, Brother Wu." Lin Xia stood up and greeted him.

"No, no, I just want to see what your family is doing. Why do I smell a bad odor?" Wu Deye was playing with the children at home when suddenly an overbearing stench came over.

I followed the smell and found that it seemed to be coming from next door.

"Old Wu, what are you doing? Didn't I ask you to look after the children?" Yang Hongmei had just finished washing the dishes and came out when she saw her husband standing at the edge of the yard, her two children running around, and her daughter sitting on the ground.

"Is your sister-in-law calling you?" Before Lu Yuxiu could answer, he heard the voice of Sister Yang next door, reminding him.

When Wu Deye heard this, he disappeared in an instant.

Lin Xia looked at the missing head at the edge of the yard and turned around to sit down.

The little one had tears in his eyes and was looking at her eagerly. Just as she was about to feed her, she was interrupted.

You can only look but not eat, isn't it?

Lin Xia looked at her with a mixture of heartache and amusement. This child was so well behaved and sensible, without any of the mischievous behavior of a child.

Holding her in his arms, Lin Xia said gently: "Next time An An is anxious, you must speak up. If you don't speak up, mom and dad won't know what you want."

When Lu Yuxiu saw this scene, he felt a little sad. Although the little girl had enough food and clothing when she grew up, no one taught her carefully.

It was not until then that he realized that raising a child was not just about keeping her well fed and clothed; it was his responsibility and dereliction of duty.

Lu Yuxiu was feeling a little depressed.

Lin Xia sensed something, looked up at him, and seemed to be thinking about something.

She looked down at the little one in her arms, patted her on the back, and asked gently, "Tell mom what you want?"

"I want to eat this." After the little guy was comforted, his tears disappeared and he pointed at the durian with his little hand and said.

Seeing that she took the initiative to speak, Lin Xia smiled and picked up the spoon to feed her.

Finally she put it in her mouth. It was sweet and soft. It was probably because she had never eaten ice cream before, otherwise she would know what the taste of ice cream was like.

Yang Hongmei from next door saw her husband lying on the wall doing something unknown and ignoring the children, so she became angry and turned around to look for a rolling pin.

When Wu Deye turned around, he saw the rolling pin in his wife's hand and immediately rushed into the house.

I had only one thought in my mind: I could be beaten, but I couldn’t let outsiders know!

Yang Hongmei watched her husband run into the house nimbly, feeling both angry and amused.

In fact, it was just a threat. She said fiercely, "You can't even do anything when I ask you to. I asked you to look after the kids, but you just chatted!"

"No, wife, I smelled something really bad, so I just went to ask," Wu Deye explained.

Yang Hongmei then sniffed and found that it was the smell of durian. She said unhappily, "What smell? That's the smell of durian."

"What is durian?" Although he had been in the army for many years, he had to eat and drink in the barracks and had never heard of this.

"People said it smelled bad but tasted good. Did you know that there was a complaint about it at the supply and marketing cooperative?" Who would dare to cause trouble at the supply and marketing cooperative these days? Many people knew about this incident.

"That thing? Why did the Lu family buy that thing to eat? What's so delicious about that thing?"

"What is that thing! It's called durian, it has great nutritional value." Yang Hongmei looked at her husband with contempt.

She didn't know why, but ever since she knew that durian had nutritional value and that both the skin and the flesh could be eaten, she felt that the smell was not so bad.

Wu Deye looked at his wife in disbelief, "Do you know what nutritional value is?"

"Of course I know! The durian flesh can be eaten, the skin can be eaten, and it can also be used to make soup." Yang Hongmei secretly decided to buy some tomorrow to try.

Seeing her husband's face full of disbelief, Yang Hongmei raised her chin and glanced at him.

Let’s see who dares to say that she is illiterate. She is not illiterate now!

Wu Deye didn't know what his wife was thinking, so he shook his head secretly and took the child away.

At Zhao Xianglan's house, several women sat together and chatted.

“She really bought a lot of things?”

"How could it be fake? They bought such a big piece of meat without blinking an eye. There are only three people in their family, but they bought so much. They also bought a bunch of seafood and fruits. They can hardly carry them in their hands." Zhao Xianglan gestured with her hands, wanting to show them how big the piece of meat was.

"I saw it from a distance too. He really doesn't know how to buy anything!"

"She's such a spendthrift, I don't know why Captain Lu likes her!" someone said unconvinced.

"Besides the fact that she's pretty, what else could it be? Otherwise, why didn't Captain Lu fall for Han Wei?"

"Hey! Is she really prettier than Han Wei?" Someone bumped into Zhao Xianglan.

"How could that be false?"

"Oh, I didn't expect Captain Lu to be a person who only cares about looks!" the person said sourly.

"What's the point of being pretty? With her lazy and gluttonous attitude, she will definitely not be able to survive in the future. We'll see!" someone concluded.

Lin Xia knew nothing about these rumors, and even if she did, she wouldn't take them to heart.

Lu Yuzheng told her about inviting his comrades to dinner.

"The night after tomorrow, right?" Lin Xia asked him to confirm. She would then prepare to buy groceries in advance.

"Well, we have a day off the next day. Aren't we going to take you to the beach?" Lu Yuxiu specially arranged the time on that day so that it would not affect his time to accompany the little girl and An An the next day.

"No problem. Then you have to buy coal in advance. I want to use that stove." Lin Xia agreed directly. If the coal stove could be used, it would be more convenient for her to cook.

"It will be available tomorrow."

They were getting married, so they should invite his comrades to have a meal, and cooking was not a problem for her.

"What kind of vegetables do you want to eat? I'm growing some vegetables in the yard now." Lin Xia looked at the bare yard and asked Lu Yuxiu for his opinion.

She had looked around the yard before and saw nothing. However, there were a few stalks of onions in the corner of the wall. Because no one took care of them, they had turned yellow and withered. She cut them from the bottom and let them grow again.

"I'm fine with it. You can grow whatever you want." Apart from liking meat, he likes other vegetables the same.

"Then I'll decide for myself." Seeing that he didn't make any requests, Lin Xia decided to act on her own.

"Do you want to go to work?"

The coconut is here! The one in front is a jackfruit! The jackfruit is very big! The stem of the durian is longer, and the jackfruits grow together.
