The Pretty Military Wife

On the way back in the car, Liang Xinyue gave Zhu Guixiang a good lesson:

"You can't save money anymore. It's not like I didn't pay you. Look at our family, every family eats meat every day. At least every other day."

"Besides, we bought it with our own money. Why are you being so frugal? You have to think about it. If you are not healthy and collapse, what is the point of having the money there?"

"I'm a straightforward person. Listen to me and I'll do the math for you. In my family, we have three children, and I brought Aunt Li to take care of them. My burden is heavier than yours, but I never skimp on food. I have to be in good health so that I can take care of both the elderly and the children."

"If I fall, Zhou Guoliang, with his official position, will definitely be able to marry another woman. You said that the money I saved was used by other women in the end. She came to this house, used my money, slept in my bed, hugged my man, and beat my baby. I feel uncomfortable with any of it!"

"So, if we women want to be successful, first of all, our health is the capital of our revolution. If our health is not broken, we can support our children by doing any job."

Liang Xinyue's conversation made Zou Wenqing laugh out loud, and after laughing he also said:

"Sister Zhu, you really have to listen to our advice on this matter. Your Captain Long actually loves you very much. When you were in your hometown, you had no income and were used to saving money. But now that you work with Sister Xinyue, we all earn more money than their men."

"So, we don't have to be so frugal. We should still spend money. What Sister Xinyue said in the hospital just now is very true. You know that Gu Sanding's mother and maternal grandfather are both traditional Chinese medicine practitioners. They are famous traditional Chinese medicine practitioners in our area."

"Every time she wrote to me, she told me to eat nutritious food properly. So, you see, I came for a checkup, and the doctor said everything was fine. It's just that I was too frugal. I was thin to begin with, and now there's a child absorbing the nutrients you eat. In the end, you didn't take good care of yourself, and you didn't take good care of the baby in your belly."

Liang Xinyue added:

"That's right. The doctor advised me last time that it's better for the baby to absorb well in the mother's belly for one day than to be taken care of for ten days. If you give birth to a healthy child, you can work and earn money every day while taking care of the baby. It's the best of both worlds."

"But if the child is in poor health, someone needs to take good care of him and you can't leave him at all. Not only will you have to work hard, but the child will suffer the most."

The two of them persuaded her all the way, and Zhu Guixiang finally felt a sense of fear.

I know my own body well. I was able to get pregnant this time probably because my younger sister's problem was solved. I feel much better and my family's conditions have improved, so I had this little child.

"I promise, I will eat well in the future and not skimp. At least, I can't skimp while I'm pregnant."

Usually, Liang Xinyue knew that their family was the one that spent the least money on food.

As a result, Long Xiaobing would often go to various houses to eat some delicious food.

Of course, no one minds how much a child can eat. Just like Liang Xinyue’s two little ones, they have to crawl to other people’s homes to eat, as if they think the food is delicious.

But compared to other kids of the same age, Long Xiaobing is skinny, and he doesn't have the height and physique of Xu Dayong who is the same age.

Zhu Guixiang understood the logic behind this. Now it is not like before when she was in her hometown, where she has to live with her brother and sister-in-law. The dishes eaten by a large family are completely different from those eaten by her own small family.

On the way back, Liang Xinyue went to Xinshui Village, and Zou Wenqing saw the entire greenhouse. He was so surprised that he was speechless:

"Sister Xinyue, is this what you have been working on here for over a month?"

Liang Xinyue nodded and said:

"It's not my credit, it's the credit of the entire team. Look, we were just doing small things in the valley, but this thing has really grown into a large area. Doesn't it look very comfortable?"

Now the peanuts on the mountain are growing well, it looks like a thick green carpet covering the mountain. It is very beautiful.

In the ditch at the foot of the mountain, there are rows of neat greenhouses, and people are busy working there.

Liang Xinyue found Ding Shiqing who had been on duty here for the past two days:

"I won't be here tomorrow either. I've already told Captain Liu what to do in the next few days. He will organize people to do it. You will be responsible for recording everything according to the method I told you to do."

"When you are free, ask Captain Liu's daughter-in-law and several other female comrades to accompany you to check the peanuts on the mountain. If there is grass, ask Captain Liu to arrange for someone to deal with it. Let the women comrades cut some grass and burn it into ash. It is best to sprinkle a layer of ash on the peanut fields on the mountain to prevent insects."

Captain Liu happened to be there, so Liang Xinyue arranged things and then went back to the family compound.

Yaya hasn't taken good care of the children for a long time, and she has been in a bad mood these two days. She will take care of the children for the next two days. Besides, she also has to make a small plan on how to harvest the rice at the bottom of the valley.

It was already noon when they returned to the family compound. Zou Wenqing stayed at Liang Xinyue's house to eat, because Zhou Guoliang said in the morning that he and Gu Sanding would not be back at noon today.

Zhu Guixiang went home and fried the pork liver, and brought a large bowl over to them. It was sent by Long Xiaomei:

"My sister-in-law said that Sister Wenqing should also eat some. Young and old can eat it. My sister-in-law fried too much."

Liang Xinyue just smiled, then took out a bag of candies and gave them to Long Xiaomei:

"Give it to Xiaobing to take back. Look, I have divided it up. There is one for each child."

It's so heavy for Long Xiaomei to carry:

"Sister, so many?"

"Well, I met an apple seller today. Pregnant women eat this fruit a lot, it's very good. Take it back quickly. Look, I bought three big baskets. I'll give some to each family. Come back for more when you're done eating."

Whenever Liang Xinyue came across something good, she would buy a lot and give some to each family.

So, Long Xiaomei really saw it. The ground was divided into several piles, all of which were fruits and candies.

Xiaomei Long was really moved. It had to be Sister Xinyue. Whenever there was something going on, everyone in the entire family compound would benefit from it.

Indeed, Liang Xinyue and Yaya then delivered them to each household, one for each family.

At noon, Liang Xinyue's family didn't need to cook. Each family brought over a portion of the prepared dishes.

It is this kind of warm neighborly relationship that makes Zou Wenqing reluctant to go back.

According to the elders in their family and the Gu family, if she gave birth here alone, Gu Sanding would not have time to take care of her, so it would be better for her to go back and give birth.

After all, both sets of parents live in the same compound, so it is easy to take care of her and the children.

So, recently he has been struggling with this question: should he go back?
