When Xia Enruo returned home at noon, she saw Gu Shaoying mopping the floor.

"Sister-in-law, you're back."

"Shaoying, what are you doing? Give me the mop right away. You've just arrived, how can I let you do these chores?"

She put down her things and prepared to take the mop from her sister-in-law's hand.

"It's alright, sister-in-law. The cement floor at home is covered with snow water that I walked on outside. I'm just trying to mop it clean."

"I'll do it. You've come all this way, you don't need to do any work."

"Enruo, let your little sister do it. She's a big girl now, and it's only right that she helps with some housework."

Wang Meihua watched the two arguing and said...

Her family education never spoiled her children; they ate and drank when they were supposed to, studied when they were supposed to, and worked when they were supposed to.

No matter what, people must be self-reliant.

"Alright then, little sister, you mop the floor first, I'll go get the food and heat it up."

"Enruo, you can rest. Let Shaoxuan go. You've been busy outside all morning. The three of us are quite relaxed at home. Let him heat up the food. You sit down and rest for a bit."

"this……"

Xia Enruo couldn't believe her ears. Could these words really come from her mother-in-law's mouth?

"Enruo, give it to me, you sit with Mom and chat for a while."

Gu Shaoxuan picked up the lunchbox and went into the kitchen.

"Enruo, sit down, I want to say a few words to you."

"Okay, Mom. Let me pour you a cup of tea."

"Pour yourself a glass; you must be thirsty after walking all this way."

Xia Enruo sat on the sofa holding a canned food jar. She had gotten used to drinking water from canned food jars after transmigrating here, and she always felt that the water tasted better that way.

"Enruo, Mom isn't old-fashioned. I've always believed that both husband and wife should help with household chores. Living together requires mutual support."

When we first got married, I wasn't satisfied with you. Firstly, both your parents had passed away, and secondly, you didn't know how to do anything back then; you seemed like someone who didn't know how to manage a household.

You've changed a lot since you came here. You're living a very organized life, and you're taking good care of Shaoxuan.

The child didn't say anything when he was injured; I only found out today. Thankfully, you were there for him, which is why he recovered so quickly. Enruo, thank you, Mom.

Wang Meihua spoke her true feelings to her daughter-in-law. Today, after hearing Gu Shaoxuan talk about being injured during a mission a while ago, she felt really scared.

I never imagined that soldiers in peacetime would face so many dangers; if they're not careful, they might not even see each other one last time.

Fortunately, my son said that his daughter-in-law's meticulous care was the reason he recovered so quickly; I really underestimated her before.

For this incident alone, I should be grateful to Xia Enruo for the rest of my life.

However, she became even more determined to have a grandson. Her son was always carrying out such dangerous missions, and if something happened to him one day, they wouldn't even have any descendants, which would truly extinguish the family line.

"Mom, you don't need to thank me. I am Shaoxuan's wife, and this is what I should do as a wife. Besides, Shaoxuan is very good to me."

“Enruo, Mom knows. But there’s something I still have to say. You and Gu Shaoxuan have been married for almost two years now. You’re 25 this year, and in a few more years you’ll be in your 40s or 50s. You’ll be going through menopause soon, so we need to move up the schedule for having children.”

Xia Enruo almost choked on her water.

This old lady's time flies by; she jumped straight from 25 to 40 or 50 years old, and is about to go through menopause.

They were truly overjoyed.

"Mom, you're exaggerating. Time doesn't fly by that fast. I'm only 25 this year, it's still early."

Gu Shaoying was speechless when she heard her mother say that. Good heavens, her mother was so eager to have a grandson that she said whatever came to mind.

Gu Shaoxuan blushed when he heard this in the kitchen, but since his mother had voiced his thoughts, which was his mother-in-law's idea, he now had a reason to act impulsively in the future.

"I'm just using an analogy to tell you that time flies and you need to hurry up and have children. I also told Shaoxuan that he's almost 30 years old this year."

You both need to put in a lot of effort. It's settled then. I want to see results after the New Year.

Um... Xia Enru really didn't know what to say.

Gu Shaoxuan carried the food out of the kitchen.

"Dinner is ready."

"I'll go clear the dishes."

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Xia Enru got up and slipped away.

In the afternoon, Wang Meihua said she wanted to go out for a walk.

Gu Shaoxuan and Xia Enruo accompanied him to the border market of the ancient city.

On the quaint street, all sorts of secondhand antiques and black market items were being sold, and Gu Shaoying stared intently at them.

"Mom, look at that Buddha statue, it's so lifelike, and that incense burner is so exquisite."

Xia Enru followed behind, hoping to find some usable secondhand items for the store.

The four of them walked up to a ginseng vendor, and Wang Meihua stopped.

Is this wild?

"Auntie, it's definitely wild. The villagers dug it up from the forest in the mountains. It's in great condition!"

How much is one?

"It's 6 yuan a stick. If you buy two, just give me 10 yuan. I don't have many sticks in total, so I'm selling them to make some money to buy some New Year's goods."

Wang Meihua picked it up and smelled it. The smell was quite strong. She had received similar scents and textures from others before.

"Two, please."

Xia Enruo was about to go over to get the money when her mother-in-law stopped her.

"Enruo, Mom has money here, I don't need yours."

Gu Shaoxuan was puzzled when he saw his mother buying ginseng. He didn't understand why she wanted it. It couldn't be eaten as a meal.

A little while later, Wang Meihua bought some deer antlers and venison from a stall selling deer products.
