Ruan Suhe was still washing vegetables with wet hands. When she heard the noise at the door, she quickly wiped the water droplets on her hands on her apron, struggled to stand up from the small wooden stool with four legs, and wanted to walk to the gate to open it.
"Wait a moment, I'll be right there."
Lu Zhengxiang, who was still loosening the soil, took the initiative to move towards the direction of the courtyard gate and signaled with his eyes that she didn't need to come out and should go open the door himself.
Ruan Suhe thought about it and it made sense. She didn't know anyone in the family compound. If Lu Zhengxiang went to open the door in person, there was a chance that he might know them and they could chat for a while. If she opened the door herself, she would probably feel a little awkward facing a stranger.
"Squeak~"
"Sorry, new neighbor, my wife dragged me here to give her some pickled vegetables... Captain Lu, Captain Lu? Is it really you? Are you discharged from the hospital?"
"Hey, Captain Lu, you didn't even tell me you were discharged from the hospital. How are you? Are you okay?"
When Lu Zhengxiang opened the door, the person who came into his sight was Su Liming, a team leader from his last team.
"Dawn? You live next door to us? I've almost recovered, don't worry."
...
...
"An acquaintance, an acquaintance, an old acquaintance, wife, let me introduce you, this is the powerful Captain Lu I told you about last time. If it weren't for his advance prediction of the last mission, it would have been difficult for all three of our teams to come back alive."
Su Liming was very excited to see Lu Zhengxiang. He turned around and introduced him to his young wife who was hiding behind him. He was so excited that he couldn't control his saliva, which now flew towards his wife's face.
"Well, Captain Lu, I didn't know myself before and I said something outrageous to my sister-in-law. It was my fault. I hope you can be magnanimous and don't take it to heart."
Knowing Lu Zhengxiang's identity, the neighbor's wife's attitude immediately changed 360 degrees and she became submissive.
When Su Liming saw his wife suddenly apologize, he looked confused. He thought about it and was sure that it was his wife's stubborn temper and big mouth that offended people.
"Captain Lu, don't mind it. My wife is just quick-witted and has no brains. You and sister-in-law should not take her words to heart. You must accept our kindness."
Su Liming glared at his wife, looking disappointed in her, then stuffed the small jar of pickles in his hand directly into Lu Zhengxiang's hand, not allowing him to refuse.
"Captain Lu, you and your sister-in-law should be busy first, my husband and I won't disturb you, hehe."
After he finished speaking, he took his young wife back to his own yard.
Lu Zhengxiang nodded subtly, watched the two of them enter his courtyard, then he closed the gate slightly and walked towards the kitchen holding the jar of pickles.
"These are the pickles sent by Xiao Su's family. Please keep them first."
Although Ruan Suhe's body was in the kitchen, her ears were very sharp and she heard all their conversations clearly.
"Okay, we'll have dinner tonight. I'll just pick up some pickles for us to try."
She took the jar of pickles, nodded, and wanted to smile, but when she thought of her round and plump apple cheeks, the urge to smile was instantly abandoned.
"Also, I want to start losing weight starting tomorrow. My current figure is not satisfactory. I want to return to my previous slim look."
"So from now on I will follow my diet plan and gradually reduce my food intake. Don't think it's abnormal."
As she spoke, she didn't realize that her eyes were filled with determination, which made her look bright.
"I still suggest you go to the hospital to check what's wrong with your body."
Lu Zhengxiang thought that the journey to the family compound had stimulated Ruan Suhe and caused her to think about losing weight, so he subconsciously refused.
"In the afternoon, we will go to the hospital and take Tiedan and Ruoruo for a checkup."
He saw that Ruan Suhe was hesitating, and without thinking, he suggested the afternoon, which was the closest time.
"Well... OK, there's no harm in getting a physical checkup. The doctor might be able to give me some reliable advice. By the way, I can check what nutrients Ruoruo and Tiedan are lacking so I can supplement them in the future."
Ruan Suhe thought about it for a while and felt that going to the hospital for a check-up would not conflict with her plans, so she agreed.
Seeing her clear logical thinking, Lu Zhengxiang doubted whether the woman in front of him was still the self-destructive and self-indulgent rural daughter-in-law. He clearly felt that she was not the same person or had the same personality.
Ruan Suhe was immersed in her own plan the whole time and did not notice that Lu Zhengxiang's eyes were gradually becoming deeper.
After cleaning all the dishes she planned to cook, Ruan Suhe started by stir-frying seasonal vegetables.
Over the past few days, she felt like she had figured out her own way of cooking.
Whether you are stir-frying meat or vegetables, the first step after heating the oil in the pan is to sauté the onions, ginger and garlic, which will enhance the flavor of the whole dish.
Ruan Suhe fried the food as quickly as possible, and within ten minutes, the aroma filled the yard and the whole house.
Stir-fried rapeseed, stir-fried vegetables with mushrooms, and stir-fried cauliflower, plus egg soup. She looked at the dishes she had cooked and found them to be colorful, fragrant and delicious, and overall they were pretty good, and she couldn't help but feel complacent.
When carrying the dishes to the living room, he was even humming a little tune, and seemed to be in a good mood.
Ruoruo's gluttony was aroused. She ran to the kitchen with her legs clacking and took the bowls and chopsticks for four people. She placed them neatly on the dining table in the living room and sat upright waiting for dinner to start.
As a cook and feeder, Ruan Suhe suddenly felt a sense of accomplishment when he saw the expectant looks on the faces of the people.
"Mmm~ Mom, the food you cooked smells so good! I think I can eat two more bowls."
Seeing the two adults picking up their chopsticks, Ruoruo couldn't wait to pick up a piece of mushroom. Before she could chew it twice, she praised it repeatedly.
"It's delicious. Ruoruo, eat more."
Ruan Suhe was very pleased when she saw Ruoruo wolfing down her meal. Her kind eyes glowed with maternal love.
Perhaps everyone was very satisfied with the meal, so when they were cleaning up the dishes, Tiedan joined in for the first time.
Not far from the family compound is the military region's affiliated hospital. After finishing their meal, the family of four walked towards the hospital holding hands.
When she arrived at the hospital, Ruan Suhe discovered that the classification and division of hospitals were not as detailed as in the 21st century. Now there was only internal medicine and surgery.
"Brother Zhengxiang, why did you come to the hospital? Are you feeling uncomfortable with the wound you sustained earlier?"
Seeing Zhou Aixue's sudden appearance, Ruan Suhe was speechless. Well, the little white lotus and green tea appeared. Today's examination must be full of twists and turns. No! Not only that! Who knows what kind of trouble she will cause.
