The couple chatted idly in the living room, talking about trivial matters at home and the places that needed to be decorated in the back of the house.
Lei Zhen couldn't help feeling excited as he looked at Si Yueyue, whose eyes became brighter the more she spoke.
"By the way, I saw quite a few military wives chatting outside today. Has the army's work become saturated?"
"Well, the army doesn't allow family members to do much. The army's family schools are recruiting teachers, but many family members haven't received much education, so they can't do the job."
"The small market also gives priority to families in need, and the canteen will also recruit some, but they don't need too many people."
"Now there are more and more family members in the army, so naturally there is not enough work."
"So everyone just cooks at home every day and then goes out to chat? If there are more children in the family and they grow up, will this money be enough for one person?"
Lei Zhen thought for a moment and replied: "There is nothing we can do about it. There are only so many jobs in the army, and we can't let couples be separated."
Si Yueyue nodded: "That's true. Do the soldiers in the army raise pigs and grow vegetables and grains like the soldiers in the brigade?"
"Yes, this morning when I was leaving for vacation, I heard the instructor say that we should increase the amount of pigs raised and vegetables grown."
"Ah? Not enough to eat?"
"uncertain."
"Has the army ever thought about doing some side jobs? It can also expand the positions for the families of soldiers."
"Why not? Two troops have set up a small workshop, and they plan to export our coconuts."
"After all, coconut trees produce coconut fruits all year round, and we can't eat them all, so we can't waste them, right? But the production stopped not long after it started."
"Ah? Why did you stop?"
"It seems that they said that the method was wrong and some funds were lost. I don't know the details."
Si Yueyue pondered over what she heard, then she looked at Lei Zhen and said, "Tell me, if I apply to open a small workshop in the army, will the army leaders agree?"
Lei Zhen, who was massaging Si Yueyue's feet, raised his head and looked at her, then asked: "You want to open a workshop?"
"Well, I have this idea. If possible, I will cooperate with the army. It can not only solve the employment problems of military families, but also generate revenue for the army."
Lei Zhen looked at Si Yueyue quietly, then he said: "You can give it a try, you write down the plan first, and I'll show it to the leader."
"You like it?"
"Why not?"
"I thought you would want me to stay home to look after the kids, cook and do laundry..."
"I can do the laundry and look after the children. Although I am not a good cook, there is still a cafeteria, and the children can have hot meals."
"Whatever you want to do, as long as it doesn't harm yourself, the country, or the troops... I support you."
Si Yueyue took Lei Zhen's hand, looked into his eyes and said, "Thank you, Lei Zhen."
Lei Zhen rubbed her head, hugged her petite shoulders and said with a smile: "What are you thanking me for? Think carefully about what you want to do first, then write down the plan, and I'll check if there is anything wrong with it."
"Okay~" Si Yueyue nodded her head resting on Lei Zhen's shoulder.
He continued to tell Lei Zhen about his ideas and some things that would be needed later.
Lei Zhen gave some suggestions after listening to them. Si Yueyue thought about it and wrote down all the ones that could be adopted and included them in the plan later.
Time passed by second by second, and Si Yueyue gradually fell asleep.
Lei Zhen, who was speaking, suddenly stopped talking, then lowered his head to look at her. After seeing that she fell asleep, he gently carried her back to the room and placed her next to his sons.
————
Early the next morning.
Outside, the sound of making love was heard. Si Yueyue opened her eyes on the big bed and was confused for a moment. Wasn't she in the living room? When did she return to the room?
