After returning home, Ruan Ruan started working in the kitchen. Perhaps it was because the weather had cleared up, but she hummed a song as she cooked.

When Huo Haocheng returned, he heard her singing, "The weather is so sunny today, the scenery is beautiful everywhere..."

"Clap clap clap, it sounds so good!" After listening to a few lines, Huo Haocheng, like an audience member, happily clapped for Ruan Ruan.

"You're back! Just a little while longer, I'll be done soon!" Ruan Ruan turned around after hearing the applause, then cheerfully greeted Huo Haocheng. Hearing him say she sang well, she happily started singing again. Actually, Ruan Ruan sang off-key, but not by much. Also, the song she sang wasn't available here, and Huo Haocheng hadn't heard it before. Besides, the song had a very upbeat rhythm, so it naturally sounded good.

Seeing how happy she was, Huo Haocheng was also infected by her mood and started humming along to her tune.

The two of them worked together, one cooking and the other setting the table. As Ruan Ruan finished cooking the last dish of twice-cooked pork, she said, "It's ready to eat." Ruan Ruan placed the dishes on the table, sat down, and began to eat.

"Try it quickly, is the twice-cooked pork delicious?" Ruan Ruan first picked up a piece of meat and put it in Huo Haocheng's bowl, and then picked up a piece of the side dish from the twice-cooked pork for herself.

"It's delicious! Don't just eat vegetables, eat more meat too. You've gotten so thin!" Huo Haocheng felt guilty seeing how thin Ruan Ruan had become recently, thinking he hadn't taken good care of her and that's why she had become so thin. So he kept piling meat onto her plate.

"Okay, okay, I can pick it up myself. You should eat more. You exercise so much every day, how can you only eat vegetables?" Then, Ruan Ruan started to put meat on Huo Haocheng's plate. The two of them were like this, you want me to eat more, and I want you to eat something good. Then all the meat from the plate of twice-cooked pork went into their bowls, leaving only the side dishes on the plate.

Ruan Ruan looked down at the meat in her bowl, lost in thought. Something was wrong. Why was Huo Haocheng putting so much meat in her bowl? Then she looked at Huo Haocheng's bowl, then at her own, and decisively put the meat from her bowl into his bowl.

"You know I don't like fatty meat, so why are you putting so much on my plate today? You can have it all; a little is enough for me."

"You've lost weight lately, you need to eat more meat, otherwise if Grandpa, Grandma, Dad, and Mom find out, they'll kill me!"

Upon hearing Huo Haocheng's words, Ruan Ruan could already imagine the scene of two grandparents and three parents surrounding Huo Haocheng and giving him a good scolding. Seeing Huo Haocheng looking weak and helpless, Ruan Ruan smiled happily.

"Why are you laughing? Is there something funny?" Huo Haocheng was puzzled by Ruan Ruan's sudden laughter, but he was also a little happy.

"No, no, I haven't lost weight. Look, I've even gained muscle recently!" To convince him, Ruan Ruan put down her chopsticks, rolled up her sleeves, and clenched her fists to show Huo Haocheng her muscles. To others, having muscles on her fair arms... well, it looks pretty good, huh.

"Okay, okay, I saw it. Let's eat." Huo Haocheng reached out and touched her muscle, which was not even half the size of his palm. He then lowered her sleeves that were rolled up to her shoulders and put the chopsticks in her hand. The meaning was clear: eat more.

"Who do you think you are? I'll show you one day!" After saying that, Ruan Ruan buried her head and started eating. Actually, when she saw her white arms, she was a little embarrassed, but what could she do? She couldn't lose face, so she had to bite the bullet and show them off, otherwise Huo Haocheng would laugh at her even more.

"Okay, okay, okay, I'm just waiting to see my little sister's muscles. Why are you in such a good mood today?" Helpless, Huo Haocheng could only change the subject. He felt that if they continued talking about muscles, nothing good would come of it. A good husband should know how to give his wife a way out.

"Maybe it's because the weather is nice today, so I'm in a good mood. Let me tell you, this morning I went to my aunt's house, and on the way..." After that, Ruan Ruan happily shared her day's achievements with Huo Haocheng.

"Hmph, with such fighting power, they still want to make things difficult for me. If it weren't for their age, and the possibility of them getting agitated, I could have made a more reasonable point and told them not to treat their daughters-in-law like human beings at home. I wonder how much of that my sisters-in-law listened to. Sigh, how lonely it is to be invincible!"

Huo Haocheng never expected that his wife would cause such a big commotion in just one morning. He could already imagine what those who treated his wife badly would look like when they got home today. However, seeing his wife so lively and cheerful, as long as she was happy and didn't do anything immoral, he felt that his wife was right.

"Yeah, I'm looking forward to my wife taking charge of the military dependents' circle," Huo Haocheng smiled and echoed when he saw her smug little expression.

While they were eating, in the family compound, Regiment Commander Zhu and Battalion Commander Xiao returned home.

“Son, listen to my advice. From now on, be nicer to your wife. If you like to drink, go outside and drink with your comrades. Don’t drink at home. You need to get rid of your habit of drinking and hitting people, do you hear me?” Xiao Bo had just reached the door when his elderly mother, who was waiting for him, pulled him aside and gave him a long and earnest lecture.

"Mom, what's wrong with you today? Didn't you tell me not to be too nice to my wife? Why are you telling me to be nicer to her now?" Xiao Bo had been instilled by his mother since he was a child with the idea that he shouldn't forget his mother once he got a wife. So most of the time, he listened to his mother when it came to family matters. He also always felt that at home, his wife was an outsider and he didn't need to be too nice to her.

"You... Anyway, I'm telling you now, be nicer to your wife, that's all. If you hit your wife again, I'll hit you." Aunt Xiao didn't know how to respond to what Ruan Ruan had said today. She wouldn't admit that what she had said and done to her son before was wrong, but now she was willing to compromise for her son's career, which was already very good.

"Mom, what's wrong with you today?" Xiao Bo heard his mother say that she was going to hit him, and he felt that his mother must be possessed by a demon today, otherwise she wouldn't be like this.

"I'm perfectly fine. I'm doing this for your own good. Listen to me, you won't go wrong. Alright, let's go inside and eat." Seeing that she couldn't reason with Xiao Bo, Aunt Xiao yelled at him fiercely before going inside to eat.

Unlike the Xiao family, the Zhu family, the Zhu Regiment Commander's family, never thought that women could cause much trouble in his hands. So, Aunt Niu continued to beat and scold her daughter-in-law as always. On the way home, the Regiment Commander heard people in the family compound talking about what Ruan Ruan had said that day, but he didn't take it seriously. He thought that his family would be the same as before and would remain the same in the future. He thought they were just a bunch of women and what could they possibly do?
