Chapter 1288 Family Matters
Knowing that Fu Yancheng would be back that night, Chu Xue was overjoyed.
Knowing that he wouldn't be eating well outside for the next few days, he took the chicken he had exchanged from Baifu Village out of its cage and threw it into his spatial dimension, then replaced it with a chicken he already kept in his spatial dimension.
Boiling water and plucking feathers are done all at once, and after cleaning, it is stewed first.
Anyway, everyone knows they went to Baifu Village to exchange things, so it's normal to smell stewed chicken.
Remembering that there were still quite a few red beans in the space, I took some out and prepared sorghum rice and rice to cook some bean porridge later.
While she was busy here, the people next door weren't idle either.
In the neighboring courtyard, as soon as Shen Kaiyuan entered the house, Mo Ruhua pulled him aside and said, "I have something to tell you."
Shen Kaiyuan pulled the person into his arms: "You're so excited, it must be a good thing."
Mo Ruhua's eyes lit up as she said, "You know what? Battalion Commander Fu's wife is pregnant."
Upon hearing this, Shen Kaiyuan looked guilty. He had known about this before, but Fu Ying had repeatedly told them not to tell anyone. He hadn't even told his wife. He glanced at the neighboring yard and asked, "Did your sister-in-law tell you?"
Mo Ruhua nodded: "When Tian Shi mentioned that the family was urging me to have a baby, I saw my sister-in-law touching her belly, so I asked her about it. I didn't expect she was actually pregnant."
Shen Kaiyuan knew that his wife was also annoyed by the pressure to have children recently: "It's okay. If you're annoyed by the constant pressure from home to have children, we'll go back less often. Don't put too much pressure on yourself, just let nature take its course."
Mo Ruhua leaned against the man's chest and nodded slightly, saying, "That's the only way."
Shen Kaiyuan leaned down and whispered in his wife's ear, "Then I'll work harder from now on."
Mo Ruhua was a little shy. She stood up straight from his embrace and raised her fist to hit him: "What did you say?"
When Shen Kaiyuan saw her smile, he breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed he would have to tell his family not to mention the child in front of his wife in the future, so as not to put pressure on her.
Just then, Mo Ruhua said, "Open source, how about I transfer my job in the city and find a job back in the army? That way I won't have to travel back and forth every day, and..."
She didn't finish her sentence, glancing at Shen Kaiyuan before turning away.
Shen Kaiyuan was naturally pleased: "You've figured it out?"
Mo Ruhua gave a soft "hmm": "Even the neighbor's sister-in-law, who had such a good job, transferred out. Anyway, if she wants to go back to the city, she can just take some time to go back. It's easier than running back and forth every day."
Shen Kaiyuan pulled the person back into his arms: "If you've thought it through and don't regret it, then I'm all for it."
After the couple reached an agreement, they went into the kitchen together to cook and then started cuddling.
Meanwhile, Company Commander Cui, diagonally opposite, was throwing a tantrum: "Zhang Lianhua, do I lack food or drink? You embarrass me every single day!"
"You heard what the division commander said. If you want me to take off these clothes and go back to my hometown to farm, then keep causing trouble, and keep Yu Rao in check so she doesn't cause any more trouble."
After saying that, he lay down on the bed, his face ashen, staring at the ceiling, thinking about how to salvage his image in front of the leaders.
Seeing his reaction, Zhang Lianhua muttered under her breath, "Didn't you praise Yu Rao's abilities before? Now you're blaming me?"
But considering today's situation, she really didn't dare to make a fuss anymore. She had finally managed to come and join the army, and she didn't want to go back to the countryside to toil in the fields. Besides, her mother-in-law was not easy to deal with. If she hadn't given birth to two sons in a row after marrying into the family, she would probably have been tormented by her mother-in-law just like her older and younger sisters-in-law.
However, her mother-in-law refused to let her bring her two sons to live with her, saying that she was afraid they wouldn't adapt to going to school in a different place.
In truth, she knew perfectly well that she was just afraid that her two grandsons, living far away, would eventually drift apart from them.
