Chapter 213 My wife, am I afraid that others will know?
On the long road to the family compound, the wives of soldiers passing by saw the battalion commander driving his wife home with a smile on his face, and they all laughed out loud.
"It seems that we were wrong. Xiao Lu is obviously a caring person."
"That's because she's a good girl. Xiao Lu is so lucky to marry such a good girl. Did everyone listen to the broadcast in the courtyard today?"
"Yes, yes."
"My husband also went to help build the bridge. He came back with the army's car. However, the radio station and the bridge construction point are in opposite directions. It is impossible for Xiaolu and Zhimei to meet on the road."
"Haha, I think Xiaolu probably jumped off the train midway. He didn't even want to go home and wait, and went straight to the radio station to pick up the girl and take her home."
"Oh, how come the couple has such a good relationship?"
The young couple smiled at each other when they got home. Lu Xingchen first parked the bicycle, then carried a bundle of firewood to the kitchen, lit the stove neatly, and started cooking dinner for tonight.
Suddenly, a pair of white and slender arms wrapped around his waist, and a burst of fragrance wafted into his nose, and Lu Xingchen smiled happily.
"Hungry?"
Jiang Zhizhi rubbed the man's back, and said with a hint of teasing, "When did you accept the task of building the bridge?"
"Confidential." Lu Xingchen laughed softly, "How about I make you tomato and fried eggs tonight?"
His daughter-in-law's warm breath fell on his back, and Lu Xingchen suddenly felt as if a light feather was caressing him gently, causing waves of itching.
As long as Jiang Zhizhi looked up, he would be able to find that Lu Xingchen's ears were burning red.
"Okay, I want two soft-boiled eggs."
"Guaranteed to complete the mission."
Lu Xingchen lowered his head and kneaded the dough carefully. Before he got married, he said that he would not let his wife suffer any grievances.
There is no reason for me to be happy before marrying him and suffer all kinds of grievances after marrying him.
Now he has to do what he says.
He wants to let the whole world know that he is now a happy man with a family.
When he thought of this, Lu Xingchen's heart trembled.
Jiang Zhizhi obviously noticed the man's happy mood, her eyes sparkled, "Yeah, yeah, now everyone knows that you are my lover."
"That would be great!" Lu Xingchen said softly, "She's my own wife, why would I be afraid of others knowing?"
Jiang Zhizhi raised her eyes and saw the man with a hearty smile on his face, looking very happy.
She also said happily: "I just like your energy."
To Lu Xingchen, these words meant that his wife liked him very much, which made him even happier.
Two bowls of steaming hot tomato soft-boiled egg noodles came out of the pot. The noodles were distinct and chewy and refreshing. Paired with the rich and sweet tomato soup, Jiang Zhizhi exclaimed that it was a very satisfying meal.
Lu Xingchen couldn't help but praise himself in his heart. It turned out that to win his wife's heart, he had to win her stomach first.
The next morning.
Lu Xingchen finished all the housework, and Jiang Zhizhi's eyes lit up when he got up.
Her brother Chen was getting better and better. Jiang Zhizhi ate breakfast happily, did two sets of military boxing, and then took out all the seeds soaked in spiritual spring water. They could be planted in the soil today.
"Sister Zhi, are you up yet?"
"Sister Chunhua, I'm up. Come in."
There was a vegetable basket hanging on Nong Chunhua's arm, which was full of juicy vegetables and tomatoes. She walked in with a smile and saw Jiang Zhizhi, who had a rosy complexion, at a glance.
It seemed that yesterday's problems had been solved. Nong Chunhua, who had been worried all night, finally felt relieved. She put the things in the basket on the table and said:
"Are you free today? I'll take you to see the land your family was allocated."
"Oh, I almost forgot about it. Let's go check it out today!"
The two of them came to the field talking and laughing, and the fields belonging to Lu Xingchen and Jiang Zhizhi's family had actually been plowed!
Nong Chunhua was surprised: "Good fellow, it is completely ready for sowing. Your husband is really hardworking."
Jiang Zhizhi suddenly realized, and her mood instantly became extremely good. She decided to make more delicious food for Brother Chen at noon to reward her man.
When Lu Xingchen came back at noon, his wife was sitting in the yard. She looked fresh and pretty in a light blue dress. Her beautiful eyes became even brighter and brighter after seeing him, which made his soul float. He felt that the places where his wife had looked at were hot, and even his walking was floating.
Suddenly, he heard his wife's clear and pleasant laughter, and the smile in her voice was about to overflow.
"So happy?" Lu Xingchen changed into a refreshing and clean dark green short-sleeved shirt and a pair of black boxer shorts similar to beach pants. These were new clothes and pants made for him by his wife.
"Because Brother Chen has been so nice during this period, I am very, very happy." Jiang Zhizhi praised the man generously.
The man openly hugged Jiang Zhizhi and kissed her on the lips, with a bigger smile on his face: "Thank you for the reward, my wife."
Jiang Zhizhi pointed at the delicacies on the table and laughed, "That's yours."
"I don't care." Lu Xingchen said righteously.
The couple enjoyed the meal and after resting for a while, they went to the yard to work.
From afar, bursts of bird calls were heard. Little birds stood in a row and jumped on the branches. The sunlight filtered through the gaps between the leaves, casting mottled shadows.
Lu Xingchen picked up the hoe and turned the soil. The lines of his strong and powerful forearms were pleasing to the eye. Jiang Zhizhi held a bag of vegetable seeds in his hand and scattered the seeds in the small pit turned by Lu Xingchen. Then Lu Xingchen filled the small pit with soil.
After planting the vegetables, Lu Xingchen accompanied Jiang Zhizhi to plant flowers and watermelons.
The couple started talking about how watermelons should be placed in well water, which makes them cooler and more delicious after being chilled.
Lu Xingchen smiled and said, "Summer is coming soon. I will make sure to get you some big watermelons."
In the afternoon, Lu Xingchen went to the camp for training as usual.
Jiang Zhizhi was playing with Chinese herbal foot soaking in the small courtyard. She only found out today that her brother had made the foot soaking method popular.
It is said that the things in her hands have become rare treasures for the soldiers, and those who have some in stock are very protective of them.
Every night during the rest time, there was a lot of noise in the soldiers' dormitory, especially her adorable brother Wangzai, who wanted to lock the dormitory door to prevent them from being robbed by the group of animals that came over after smelling the scent!
Jiang Zhizhi couldn't help laughing just by imagining his brother's expression.
After a while, a brisk and lively voice came from outside.
"Zhizhi, is this the place? Zhizhi?"
Jiang Zhizhi wiped his hands, walked to the door, looked up, and saw a girl standing there with a warm smile. Who else could it be but Ren Zhenzhen?
Ren Zhenzhen excitedly carried a pound of meat and said, "I admire myself so much. I can find the right one every time."
"Zhizhi, listen, hahaha, my voice is better now!"
"Thanks to the lozenges you gave me, I ate them last night and this morning, and my throat got better immediately!"
"Your throat lozenges are amazing!" Ren Zhenzhen touched her throat with her other hand, her voice full of sunshine, and said happily: "You know, once my throat is damaged, it will take seven or eight days to get better. My family has tried everything, but it doesn't work. My elders even gave me some folk remedies, but it didn't work either."
"You don't know. If I don't get better, our stationmaster might want to kill me. I was so scared that I dreamed of him chasing me at night. I was so scared that I ate two extra bowls of noodles the next day!" Ren Zhenzhen patted her chest with lingering fear.
