The military wife is pregnant and the tycoon, who has no heir, spoils her rotten.

Chapter 63 Good Monkey
Zhang Xiao was so anxious that she kept stamping her feet. What should she do?

They've only bought clothes so far; they haven't done anything else yet. They haven't invited the people they were supposed to invite, and they haven't bought the things they were supposed to buy.

"Hey, hurry up, what are you waiting for? Go buy some things before the suppliers close down too."

Zhang Xiao slapped his thigh in frustration and glanced at Hao Liping beside him.

Hao Liping also panicked. She had been here for a while, but hadn't gotten anything done yet. It wouldn't be good if things got delayed.

When Hao Liping saw Xia Zhi looking in her direction, she glared back fiercely. "They're just relying on their numbers! What's so great about them?"

Xia Zhi looked over without flinching.

Hao Liping felt a little intimidated by her cold gaze. Zhang Xiao, who was standing next to her, pulled her over and said, "Liping, what are you standing there for? Let's go."

Hao Liping was then hurriedly pulled away by Zhang Xiao.

Xia Zhi watched the two hurried figures disappear into the distance, raised an eyebrow, and then got into the car.

When Lu Beiting saw her return in the car, his gaze fell on the thing in her arms. "What is this?"

Xia Zhi examined the chick's injury and said, "I don't know. It looks like a chicken, but it's not quite."

"Hmm, it does look somewhat similar. Let's take it back first."

As soon as she returned to the military base, Xia Zhi took the chicks back to the house, treated their wounds briefly, and then found something in the corner to settle them down.

After changing her clothes, she saw that Lu Beiting was already starting a fire and cooking.

Zhang Yi and Xu Rufeng temporarily stored the things they bought in the room where Xia Zhi used to live.

She quickly fetched some meat, washed and chopped vegetables, and by the time Lu Beiting had almost finished cooking the rice, her preparations were nearly complete.

The moment the meat sizzled and released oil into the pan, Zhang Yi and Xu Rufeng smelled it. After quickly adding the last item, they also came over.

"Sister-in-law, what are you making? It smells so good."

"Braised pork, fried potatoes, and hand-torn cabbage."

As soon as Xia Zhi finished speaking, Zhang Yi and Xu Rufeng's eyes lit up. These were all delicious dishes to eat with rice.

Zhang Yi, being bold, looked directly at Lu Beiting beside him and asked in a low voice, "Battalion Commander, is this enough rice? I can eat three big bowls!"

Lu Beiting was too lazy to pay attention to the two gluttons. Didn't they see how big the pot was? They might as well eat themselves to death.

Xia Zhi smiled and said, "There's plenty."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yi immediately grabbed a small stool and sat down to wait for his meal.

Seeing this, Xu Rufeng went to his room and got a stool.

Xia Zhi stood while cooking, while Lu Beiting, Zhang Yi, and Xu Rufeng sat upright to the side.

"Alright, dinner is ready!"

Xia Zhi placed the dishes on the stove, and Zhang Yi jumped up and hurriedly went to help serve the rice.

Then they stared longingly at the braised pork in the big pot. After sitting there for a while, their mouths were practically dry from drooling. Now they were just waiting for their sister-in-law to start eating.

Xia Zhi served Lu Beiting's food and couldn't help but laugh when she saw the two people standing there motionless. "What are you standing there for? Eat up!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Yi took the lead and picked up several large pieces of braised pork. The moment he put them in his mouth, a sense of satisfaction spread through his heart. He didn't know how long it had been since he had eaten meat so heartily.

Although the military has designated days for meat dishes, it's mostly just a small treat. A meal like this, where every bite is pure meat, is extremely rare.

Xu Rufeng was also panting heavily after eating; the meat was so delicious.

When the comrades who had returned from training looked at Xu Rufeng and Zhang Yi, they all looked on with envy. The food they had eaten was too good.

Xia Zhi looked at the small amount of meat in the pot and didn't know how to serve it. She thought that when she had money, she would definitely make sure everyone could eat meat.

"Wife, let's go to the family compound to look at houses tomorrow." After finishing his meal, Lu Beiting put down his bowl and looked at Xia Zhi, who was leaning against the wall.

"Okay." Xia Zhi nodded, wondering which compound she had been assigned to. She hoped it wouldn't be her old compound, otherwise she would be busy all day long.

After finishing their meal, Zhang Yi and Xu Rufeng volunteered to wash the dishes.

Xia Zhi had no choice but to brew the medicinal soup and let Lu Beiting soak it later.

With Zhang Yi around, she didn't need to worry about anything. She could just sit in the vegetable garden and look at the starry sky.

"Boom!"

Something hit her on the head, and without thinking, she lifted it up and whacked the ball on the backside several times.

"I've told you so many times, don't hit my head, don't hit my head! What if you make me stupid?"

The ball whimpered and covered its head and bottom, looking at her with a wronged expression, before pointing to something on the ground.

Xia Zhi looked in the direction it pointed and saw something that looked like a mushroom. She bent down, picked it up, and took a closer look.

Hey, it's still Ganoderma lucidum.

"Okay, I forgive you." She ruffled the ball's hair and gave him a piece of candy.

Xia Zhi looked at the large Ganoderma lucidum in her hand. She had no shortage of medicinal herbs. Last time, she was thinking of trying to exchange them for some money, but then she encountered human traffickers.

She casually tossed it into the traditional Chinese medicine clinic, planning to sell it to a larger pharmacy next time to make some money.

The ball looked at the big thing that had disappeared and called out again.

"Shh, keep your voice down." Xia Zhi quickly covered its mouth, then sat up straight and looked at it with a serious expression.

"Ball, you did a good job. I'm going to give you a task now. Are you confident you can complete it?" Xia Zhi glanced at the ball.

The ball nodded.

"Good monkey!" Xia Zhi patted its head as a reward. "Then, you help me..."

After instructing the little monkey, Xia Zhi sent it back. The door of a nearby room was opened, and Zhang Yi came out carrying a bucket to pour water.

Xia Zhi got up, took the small stool, and went back to her room.

Inside the room, Lu Beiting wiped the sweat from his face with a towel. After a medicinal bath, his face looked much rosier.

"How are you feeling?" Xia Zhi walked over, took his hand, and checked his pulse.

Her efforts over this period of time have not been in vain; Lu Beiting's injuries have finally healed a lot, and he is gradually regaining consciousness.

"It's fine." Lu Beiting wiped his hands, looking at her small hand, and was about to reach out to take it, but Xia Zhi turned around and dodged away.

Feeling somewhat disappointed, I wiped my hands a few more times.

After greeting the two men, Zhang Yi quickly turned and left.

When Xia Zhi returned after washing up, Lu Beiting had already settled down in bed.

Xia Zhi took off her coat, revealing a white vest top, and turned around to see Lu Beiting's undisguised gaze.

Lu Beiting patted the seat next to him and looked at her, "It's warm, go to sleep."

Xia Zhi lay down next to him. The blankets were warm and cozy, and she felt very comfortable. Before long, she became sleepy.

Meanwhile, on the way back from town, Zhang Xiao, sitting in the passenger seat, expressed his gratitude to the woman in the driver's seat.

"Girl, thank you so much. If it weren't for you, we wouldn't be able to get home today."

Li Baozhu glanced at the people behind her, a smile playing on her lips, "It's nothing, Auntie, are you having a happy occasion?"
