Chapter 314: Mother Lu comes to the family compound and is well received
The aroma of the pork belly became stronger. Xu Mingzhu felt happy. Not only was the meat cooked, but it also smelled so good.
The three of them finished their meal chatting and laughing. Xu Mingzhu finished a bowl and a half of rice in one breath, which was much more than she ate at home.
She never thought that one day the meat cooked by her son would be so delicious, even more fragrant than any she had ever eaten.
Lu Xingchen cleaned up the dishes and washed them faster, and his mother's eyes were filled with tears.
After washing the dishes, Lu Xingchen sorted out the things that Xu Mingzhu brought, including milk powder, maltose, cloth, cakes, candy, and brown sugar.
"Mom, why are you bringing so many things? Do grandpa and dad have any more?"
"All of this was sponsored by your elder and second brothers."
"The other box was sent by your grandpa and your father."
Xu Mingzhu smiled and said, "Now is the time to supplement nutrition. Drink some milk powder every day and you will get enough nutrition."
"We don't have enough tickets. Let's think about exchanging them later. Don't save money now."
This is how the elders in the family are, and the frugality has been passed down from generation to generation. But for Xu Mingzhu, it is not a problem at all.
She was totally willing to do it.
It must be so hard for Zhizhi to be pregnant. Before she married the third brother, she was already the apple of the Jiang family's eye.
There's no reason to marry into a family and live a worse life than your parents'.
If you don't have a ticket, you can find a way to exchange it. You won't let your daughter-in-law down.
Xu Mingzhu doesn't care how other families deal with the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. After all, in the Lu family, she is currently the eldest and everyone listens to her, so that's how it should be done.
This also applies to the wives that the eldest and second sons marry in the future.
Jiang Zhizhi sat on the stool, her eyebrows curved: "Mom, Brother Chen has ordered fresh milk for me, and it will be delivered to the family compound on time every morning. Tomorrow I will make you hot milk and some milk desserts, and you can try it then."
Xu Mingzhu happily agreed, her daughter-in-law's craftsmanship was really not exaggerated.
Lu Xingchen raised the corners of his lips. He was very happy that his mother and his wife got along well.
Xu Mingzhu asked: "It's very cold here in winter. Have you got the quilt at home? I will save some more cotton tickets and buy a warm quilt for my granddaughter."
Jiang Zhizhi's voice was filled with laughter: "Military supplies are all genuine goods, strong and durable. We also made two quilts at home, which are enough for adults to cover in winter. Even for the kids, we made two more."
Xu Mingzhu laughed: "You have a good appetite tonight and eat a lot. Seeing you, my appetite has been opened. I even ate half a bowl of rice more."
Lu Xingchen puffed out his chest and was very happy. It was obvious that Miss Xu Mingzhu didn't understand what his wife said. Play two more cards!
If my wife wasn’t pregnant with three little ones, could she eat like this?
By the way, I only made one batch of the small toys for home. No, no, I have to add more!
Miss Xu Mingzhu was humming a little tune happily at night. Jiang Zhizhi chuckled. No wonder her husband was tone-deaf. It turned out that this was the source.
Jiang Zhizhi touched the three little ones in her belly, wondering how well the little ones could sing.
Anyway, I have a tape recorder at home, so I can play some more songs and maybe it can help me improve.
Late in the evening, Xu Mingzhu went to the toilet to take a shower. She fell asleep with oil in her stomach and a satisfied look on her face.
The next morning, Xu Mingzhu got up early and waited for fresh milk.
The dog Sanhuo sniffed Xu Mingzhu's scent and knew that this was one of his own. He stood up in a friendly manner, waved his two paws forward, and wagged his tail.
Xu Mingzhu stared at Sanhuo nervously, her voice carrying a hint of fear, "Huo, don't come over here!"
Lu Xingchen buttoned up his military cap and walked out, "Mom, Sanhuo knows human nature. Just feed it a few more times and it will be cooked."
As if to confirm Lu Xingchen's words, "Woof woof woof!" Sanhuo was very smart. Knowing that the male owner and himself were discussing its food, it wagged its tail even more happily.
After Xu Mingzhu received the fresh milk, she put it in a pot to cook it, poured it into a bowl and let it cool. Her son said that the milk was enough for her and Jiang Zhizhi, so he asked her to drink a bowl as well.
Xu Mingzhu saw that there was indeed a lot of milk and it was more than enough for her to drink, so she poured out a bowl of milk and boiled it.
After a while, Nong Chunhua came to the door with a smile and took Xu Mingzhu to the family compound to familiarize herself with the route and the place.
Nong Chunhua said excitedly, "Xiao Lu's mother, I only knew you were here this morning, otherwise I would have sent some food over for you last night."
In the morning, Lu Xingchen came over specially and Nong Chunhua only then knew about this.
Xu Mingzhu grabbed a handful of candy from her pocket and stuffed it into Nong Chunhua's hand, saying earnestly, "Don't worry, don't worry. I was in a hurry when I first arrived at the family compound yesterday. My son and daughter-in-law took care of me because I was tired from the car ride. After dinner, they didn't let me chat for a while and rushed me to bed."
"We all work in the same group. With more interactions, our relationship naturally becomes closer." Xu Mingzhu said proudly, "I'm not being polite to you. Your husband and my son have been friends for so many years. The relationship is there. How can I not know how good your family is?"
When Nong Chunhua met Captain Lu's mother for the first time, she thought it would be difficult to get along with her, but she didn't expect that Lu's mother was very down-to-earth and had no airs at all.
Nong Chunhua smiled and nodded: "Yes, yes, yes, the relationship between the two families is already familiar, I feel at ease, I will call you Mingzhu, Mingzhu, if you have any problems, you can come to me, I am happy to come and help."
When they arrived at the vegetable garden, Xu Mingzhu saw that her own vegetable garden was full of lush green vegetables. Nong Chunhua said, "Captain Lu and Sister Zhi don't have time to take care of it, so the sisters-in-law will help water the vegetables and weed when they see it."
How could Xu Mingzhu not know that everyone was doing this for Zhizhi's sake? It turns out that her daughter-in-law is very popular in the family compound!
Many military wives came over to the family compound, and it turned out that this was Captain Lu's biological mother.
No one knows about Captain Lu’s family background. They only know that both Captain Lu and Deputy Captain Jiang climbed up step by step from the recruit camp.
Xu Mingzhu's face was full of smiles, and she treated people with grace and grace. One could tell from the tone and style of her voice that she was from a big city.
The military wives suddenly became very curious about Captain Lu's family background. Some of them asked how many children Xu Mingzhu had and what they did for a living.
Xu Mingzhu said openly: "All three of my children have joined the army."
Everyone gasped, their hearts pounding. All the children in the family went to the army? This family's ideological awareness was shocking, and everyone had a little more respect for them.
If it were them, they would be reluctant to leave, at least leave some for their family!
Xu Mingzhu took out a handful of melon seeds from her pocket and distributed them to the military wives. They sat on small benches under the big tree, eating melon seeds and chatting about gossip.
Xu Mingzhu was not at all arrogant. Although it was only her first day at the family compound, when she was young, she followed Lu Xingguo to the countryside to do things for the common people. Naturally, she had plenty of experience in how to get along with the wives of soldiers who came from the countryside.
Moreover, what Xu Mingzhu said always touched the hearts of the military wives and said what they liked to hear, so the military wives said a lot more without realizing it.
Look, Xu Mingzhu, who came on the first day, was humble, good at chatting, and even shared melon seeds with everyone. Everyone was happy to be friends with her.
At the end of the day, she was so popular.
