Chapter 168 Who will do the housework in the future?

"What?" Seeing Mai Miao's mysterious look, Xia Qingxi became curious and asked her.

Mai Miao smiled at first, and then said to Xia Qingxi shyly and happily:

"Well, Xiao Wu and I got the marriage certificate today."

"So fast?" Xia Qingxi was really surprised. In this era, it was indeed not like the modern world. Generally, it takes one or two years to get married, but Mai Miao and Xiao Wu have only known each other for less than a month, how come they got the marriage certificate in the blink of an eye.

"We just happened to catch up with their factory's allocation of houses to young couples. If we miss this opportunity, we will have to wait two years. We discussed it and got the certificate, so that we can also get a house." Mai Miao said with a smile in his eyes and eyebrows:

"Hehe, we are going to get married anyway, it doesn't matter if it's earlier or later."

Getting married and having a new house is really a double happiness!

Xia Qingling was also very happy for Mai Miao and immediately gave her best wishes:

"Congratulations! Xiao Wu is a very nice person, you two will have a good life in the future."

"Thank you." Mai Miao responded with a smile, but immediately said with some regret:

"But you are leaving soon and can't attend my wedding. What a pity!"

"When are you going to have the wedding?" Xia Qingling asked after thinking for a while.

"Not so fast. I estimate we have to wait another month or two." Mai Miao said, the regret on his face deepened. After he finished speaking, as if he thought of something, he took out something wrapped in red paper from his purse and stuffed it into Xia Qingxing's arms, saying:

"This is given to you by Xiao Wu. Although you can't attend our wedding, courtesy cannot be missed."

As he spoke, the red paper package had already been stuffed into Xia Qingxing's hands. Xia Qingxing was confused for a while, and soon realized that it was the "matchmaking money" given by Xiao Wu.

"Don't be polite with us, you must accept it. It's all your credit that we can be together." Mai Miao was afraid that Xia Qingxing would not accept it, so he hurriedly said.

Mai Miao had told Xia Qingxi before that Xiao Wu wanted to give her a big red envelope to thank her, but it was not convenient to open it in front of others now, so she accepted it first.

"Then I'll accept it. Please say thank you to Xiao Wu for me." Xia Qingxing did not refuse and accepted the red envelope.

"He should thank you." Mai Miao said with a smile, and then looked at Lu Jingchen on the side:

"Brother Jingchen, Qingxing has gone to the army, you have to take good care of her." After that, he asked worriedly:

"Are the people there easy to get along with? Will anyone bully her?"

"No." Lu Jingchen uttered the two words seriously, and then said in a deep voice:

"I'm here, and I won't let anyone bully her."

"That's good." Mai Miao was relieved, took Xia Qingxing's hand, and said reluctantly:

"I will miss you very much after you leave. If you can't get used to living there, or if Brother Jingchen treats you badly, then come back."

Before Xia Qingxi could speak, Lu Jingchen expressed his attitude:

"It won't be bad."

Mai Miao couldn't help laughing when he saw how serious he was. He shook Xia Qingxi's arm and joked:

"Qingxi, look how nervous Brother Jingchen is. Haha, he's afraid that you won't go."

After saying goodbye to Mai Miao, Xia Qingxi and Lu Jingchen returned home.

Xia Qingxi found that Yao Hongmei's things had been moved away, and the bed in the living room was gone.

Lu Jingchen explained to her that he was the one who helped Yao Hongmei move today, and he had someone take away the bed in the living room and throw it away.

It should indeed be thrown away. Thinking of what He Shanshan and Liao Qiang had done on it, it made her feel uncomfortable just to see it there.

"What about He Shanshan and Wang Mingfang's things? Do they still have to stay at home?" Xia Qingling couldn't help asking. He

Shanshan and Wang Mingfang were both arrested, and Yao Hongmei didn't take their things away, obviously she didn't want to have anything to do with them anymore. Now that their things were left at Lu's house, they had to be dealt with.

"I'll have someone come to pick them up tomorrow, pack them up, and take them directly to the He family." Lu Jingchen said in a deep voice, with undisguised disgust in his eyes.

"Yeah, okay." Xia Qingling nodded in agreement.

This is the best way, so that it won't take up space and be annoying. Now she doesn't want to have anything to do with Wang Mingfang and her daughter anymore.

Xia Qingying didn't ask any more questions. She was about to go to the kitchen to cook when she suddenly realized a problem. She thought about it and looked at Lu Jingzhen beside her and said tentatively:

"Well, I'm not very good at cooking. I only know some home cooking."

"It's okay. Home cooking is good." Lu Jingzhen replied seriously, and then uttered a few words in a deep voice:

"I'm not picky about food."

In fact, what Xia Qingying wanted to say was not whether the food was delicious, but who would cook in the future.

"Then when I get to the army..." Xia Qingxi couldn't help but ask, "Do I need to cook every day?"

In this era, most men still have the idea that men should be breadwinners and women should be homemakers. Some even think that women should do all the housework, such as cooking, washing dishes, and washing clothes. Many men just sit there and do nothing, and won't even help a broom if it falls.

What's worse, some men are completely chauvinistic, thinking that it is shameful for men to do housework, and they don't do it themselves, and even look down on other men who do housework.

Each era has its own living habits and fixed thinking. Xia Qingxi doesn't judge anything, but as far as she is concerned, she can't accept women doing all the housework.

Thinking that she will live under the same roof with Lu Jingyi in the future, housework is an unavoidable problem, so she wants to understand his attitude in advance.

"We can eat in the canteen when we get to the army." Lu Jingzhen replied, and then added: "I can also cook for you."

"You can also cook?" Xia Qingying was a little surprised. She never thought that Lu Jingzhen could cook.

"Yes, I often cooked when I was a child." Lu Jingzhen said very calmly: "Later, I cooked less when I went to the army. I should be a little rusty, but I will be fine after practicing."

Seeing his usual reserved look for a long time, I forgot that he also spent his childhood in a poor mountain village. Cooking is indeed not a difficult task for people who grew up in mountain villages.

Hearing him say practice, Xia Qingying's lips bent up unconsciously. This at least shows that he is not a male chauvinist and is willing to do housework.

"How about this? From now on, when I cook, you wash the dishes, and when you cook, I wash the dishes." Xia Qingling suggested.

Let's make the rules clear now, so that we won't be unhappy with each other in the future.
