Chapter 152: A Wind Called Virtuous



Luo Xingci smiled and nodded, "Okay, then my vegetable garden will be handed over to you from now on. Just water it regularly and it doesn't need to be taken care of. But don't water it too much, especially for the vegetable seeds that have just sprouted." If there is too much water, the plants will probably die.

Gu Yizhou nodded suddenly. From now on, he would be an expert in his aunt's vegetable garden. He would help his aunt take good care of the vegetable garden and make the vegetables grow better than those in other people's gardens. He would also work for his aunt.

After a while, she had prepared all the dishes. At this time, Lu Sinian also came back. Seeing the two, one big and one small, busy in the kitchen, he suddenly felt that it would be a good idea for him and Xing Ci to have a child. However, if they wanted to have a child, they had to get their wife's consent.

Luo Xingci also saw him and immediately came up to help him take off his clothes and hang them on the hanger. "Are you back? I just prepared the meal. I've already told my parents that we will move back to the compound in the future. I also plan to build a factory in the compound. I wonder if your leaders will agree?"

Lu Sinian was very happy to hear that. He hugged her and kissed her. "Wife, this is a good thing. I will definitely agree. I will tell the leader tomorrow. This way you can solve the work problems of military wives and help them increase their income. The leader agrees 100%."

Gu Yizhou scratched his head. Did they forget about him? Then he should get back to work. He brought all the dishes to the table and set them aside.

Luo Xingci realized belatedly that Gu Yizhou was still there. She glared at him coquettishly, "There's a child here. You're kissing like this. What if the child sees you? You should be more careful in front of the child next time."

She wasn't used to being looked at like that, even by a child.

"Okay, then let's do it in the room next time." He chuckled and deliberately emphasized the pronunciation of the word "do", which made Luo Xingci so angry that he stepped on his foot.

Lu Sinian also helped to serve the rice. While working, he said, "I have a day off tomorrow. I invited them to our house for dinner. I will go shopping with you tomorrow morning." Then he remembered whether Luo Xingci was going to work, "By the way, are you going to work tomorrow?"

"No need. I'll go the day after tomorrow. If your leader agrees, my cannery will send some stuff over. I'll go grocery shopping with you tomorrow." Anyway, she would be able to do business openly soon, and the college entrance examination would be resumed in a year. She already had enough money to start her own factory, and she would still need these sisters-in-law then. Moreover, not all the sisters-in-law in the compound could work, so only the good and diligent ones could be selected. There shouldn't be any bad mother-in-law in the family, otherwise she would come over to make trouble when she gets her salary.

"Also, I'll need you to help me write a list of tasks later. I need to select some people and two team leaders to manage them."

"Okay, I'll help you list them after dinner. Let's eat." Then he looked at Gu Yizhou and picked up some meat for him. "Children, eat more meat so that you can grow taller. When you grow taller, you can help your aunt with work."

When he heard that he could work quickly, he immediately picked up two pieces of meat. He wanted to eat more meat and go back to ask his father to bring food and money to his aunt, otherwise he would be embarrassed to come here to eat.

"Uncle, aunt, can I bring food and money to your place and eat for free in the future? Not every day, but occasionally. I will help with the work. Can I come once a week?" His voice became smaller and smaller as he spoke. He raised his eyes and glanced at Luo Xingci cautiously. He suddenly felt that he was being too much. How could he make such an excessive request?

Luo Xingci smiled and patted his head, "Okay, but I have to go to work during the day. You can come over to eat in the evening. Just help me with the work. If you see any weeds in my vegetable garden, pull them out and water them."

She also liked the child in front of her very much, so she decided to be a saint for once, and it wasn't for nothing that he ate.

After dinner in the evening, Gu Yizhou stayed here for a while and then went back. Lu Hanzhou was responsible for washing dishes, clothes, etc., and also cleaned the house. After finishing all this, he went in to take a shower.

After taking a shower, he lay down next to Luo Xingci. They didn't do anything tonight. Luo Xingci fell asleep in a short while, and Lu Sinian also fell asleep quickly while holding her.

The next morning, Lu Sinian got up early to make breakfast. He made an fried egg with chopped green onions and a pickle. After he fried the pickle, he also cooked the porridge. He took two bowls and filled them with porridge and placed them on the table.

After finishing all this, he went out with the bucket to water the vegetables. When the comrades passing by saw how virtuous he was, they all marveled.

"Captain Lu, you are so virtuous. Whenever you have free time, you are either washing clothes, cooking, or watering the vegetables at home. Where is your wife?"

"I'm not saying anything bad about you, Captain Lu, but these are jobs that women should do. How can a grown man like you do these things? From what we're seeing now, it won't be long before your wife can bully you. As a man, you should behave like a man."

An old soldier who was about 35 years old said that he was a traditional man and believed that these were jobs that women should do. It was unacceptable for a grown man to wash clothes and bring footbath water for his wife. In his opinion, women should behave like women.

Lu Sinian glanced at him, then thought about the things that happened in his family and the woman standing next to him. She was only thirty years old, but she looked older than Zhao Daniu, and her face was haggard.

"Brother Zhao, as a man you should love and care for your wife. There is no distinction between men and women in this work. This is how I lived before I got married. You can't let her do these jobs after you marry her, right?

Besides, my wife is very good to me. As her husband, I have to do something for her. I can’t help her with other things, but I should share some of this work. This way, our family life will be more harmonious and happier.”

"My husband is right. When it comes to marriage, everyone wants to live a good life. You treat me well and I treat you well. Only in this way can the marriage last longer." Luo Xingci, who had just got up, smiled. In fact, she didn't like these things either. She always felt that washing clothes and cooking were women's things.

Cuihua, the woman who followed him, had a somewhat empty look in her eyes. It was obvious that she was not valued at home and was perhaps even bullied by her mother-in-law.

However, some soldiers who were not that old heard this and helped their wives with housework when they returned home, such as washing clothes and boiling water for their wives' feet. A trend of virtuous women emerged in the compound.
