Lu Yao was carrying several bags in her hands; she hadn't thought it was too many when she bought them.

But on the way back, I felt incredibly heavy, mainly because my whole body felt like it was falling apart.

Fu Yuanzheng quickly came over and grabbed all the bags with one hand.

Then, Fu Yuanzheng handed the lunchbox in his hand to Lu Yao.

"You're holding the lunchbox!"

Lu Yao took it and immediately smelled the aroma of the food inside the lunchbox.

"I'm actually starving!"

Then, the two went to the living room.

Fu Yuanzheng also placed the things Lu Yao bought on the coffee table.

Lu Yao arranged the lunchboxes, and there were even spare ribs inside. Lu Yao couldn't wait to take one out and start eating it.

"It's so delicious, honey, you should try some!"

Lu Yao also put a piece on Fu Yuanzheng's plate.

As he reached out, Fu Yuanzheng saw the hickeys on her neck.

His deep eyes darkened as he suppressed his agitation and opened his mouth to bite the rib his wife had placed on his plate.

"The food in your military region is so good! I love it. If I eat here for a few more days, I probably won't want to go back!"

Lu Yao praised it as she ate.

"Then stay here!"

What?

Lu Yao raised her head and blinked her big, bright eyes!

Stay here!

"Can...can I join the army?"

"Um!"

Lu Yao pondered for a moment: "But what about the baby? I'll miss the baby!"

Fu Yuanzheng: "You can come along too!"

"Really! That's great! Let's go home and discuss it with Mom and Dad!"

Lu Yao looked at Fu Yuanzheng with bright eyes, mainly because she didn't want to be separated from her husband for so long.

After sleeping together last night, the two of them became addicted to the experience.

The two of them tacitly agreed that they both wanted to be together.

Fu Yuanzheng: "Okay!"

Lu Yao recalled that she hadn't seen her husband since Fu Jianguo saw her kissing him when she arrived.

"By the way, where's Dad?"

"Dad is quite busy with military affairs, so he usually eats in the canteen and then goes back to his office."

"Oh, Dad, you've worked so hard!"

Fu Yuanzheng didn't say that, in fact, he and his father lived like widows in the military region, and there was no one to help them when they came back, so this was usually just a place to sleep.

Both of them are workaholics and usually come home very late.

After finishing his meal, Fu Yuanzheng cleaned up the leftovers.

Lu Yao: "Honey, I bought some eggs, brown sugar, and malted milk powder for my sister-in-law. Could you take them to my brother's house later?"

Fu Yuanzheng nodded: "Okay!"

In the afternoon, Fu Yuanzheng had to go to the military base, so he only had time during his lunch break.

Fu Yuanzheng came over and carried the things, and the two went out.

As soon as they came out, everyone in the compound looked over.

Lu Yao frowned. Why were these people looking at her so strangely?

She did the same thing when she went shopping earlier.

The two got into the car, and Fu Yuanzheng drove Lu Yao to Yang An's house.

Yang An's family lived on the second floor of a building in the military dependents' compound.

When they arrived, Yang An was also at home.

Since Yang An's wife gave birth, Yang An usually comes back during his afternoon nap to help take care of his wife and child.

Yang An: "You've finally arrived! Your sister-in-law has been talking about you for ages!"

Hearing the commotion, Zhao Liping came out carrying the child: "Yaoyao's here! Oh dear, why did you bring so much stuff!"

Lu Yao: "Sister-in-law, it's been several days. How's your recovery going?"

Yang An took the things from Fu Yuanzheng's hands and hurriedly went to pour tea.

Their house is small, with only two bedrooms and a living room. When the living room is full of people, it feels a bit crowded.

Zhao Liping: "Thanks to Mom, otherwise I wouldn't have recovered so quickly. Your brother said you came to the military region yesterday, I was so happy!"

Lu Yao: "I came to see you and your little nephew. He's grown up so much, he's so cute! Come here, let Auntie give him a hug!"

Lu Yao took her nephew. He was indeed much better looking than when he was born. Although he wasn't as adorable as Wu Bao, he had big eyes and his features resembled his sister-in-law more. He would probably grow up to be a handsome young man!

Lu Yao is now very good at taking care of children, and she made her little nephew laugh in no time.

Lu Yao: "Sister-in-law, what's your nephew's name?"

"Yang Ruiqing, that's the name your brother gave him! His nickname is Lele!"

"That's a good name, Lele. I'm your aunt. I have five other babies in my family, your older brothers and sisters. When they come to visit in a while, I'll bring them to see you, okay?"

Zhao Liping was stunned when she heard Lu Yao's words!

"Yaoyao, are you planning to bring the baby with you to the military base?"

Lu Yao nodded!

"That's great! I don't have any relatives or friends here. If you come, you can keep me company!"

Zhao Liping is rather introverted. She has been in the military region for more than half a year. Because of her pregnancy, it is inconvenient for her to go up and down stairs, so she rarely goes out.

Lu Yao: "But it will take some time; we haven't discussed it with our parents yet."

Just then, Lele, who was in Lu Yao's arms, started to cry.

"Give me the child, he must be hungry! By the way, Yang An, hurry up and go make something to eat."

Lu Yao: "No need, brother, Fu Yuanzheng and I have already eaten!"

Fu Yuanzheng nodded.

Yang An: "Then we'll eat at our house tonight. I'll be back early."

Yang An and Fu Yuanzheng had to go to the team for training, so they went to the military base together.

Lu Yao was bored at home alone, so she chatted with her sister-in-law at Yang's house.

"Yaoyao, your weight loss method doesn't work for me at all! Look at me, I haven't lost any weight!"

Lu Yao smiled awkwardly; she dared not say that it was all thanks to the system.

"Sister-in-law, don't worry. The most important thing now is to take good care of yourself. I didn't have enough milk after my baby was born, but it's different for you. If you're going to breastfeed, you need to eat well!"

Thinking about having to feed her baby, Zhao Liping had no choice but to give up!

When Zhao Liping saw the hickeys on Lu Yao's neck as she looked down, she couldn't help but laugh and said, "Yaoyao, you and your man seemed to be having a great time last night. Mom hasn't been nagging you lately, afraid your brother-in-law might do something to betray you!"

"Hehe, my husband is super good to me, and we..."

Thinking about what happened last night, Lu Yao blushed!

By evening, Yang An and Fu Yuanzheng had returned early.

The two of them even bought groceries when they came back.

Lu Yao and Zhao Liping were chatting about family matters, while the two men were busy in the kitchen.

Lu Yao was surprised to find that her husband could actually cook!

The man's tall figure in the kitchen made the kitchen seem much more crowded.

The two worked together quite well, each cooking their own specialty dishes.

Zhao Liping noticed Lu Yao staring at the kitchen and asked with a smile, "What are you looking at?"

Lu Yao: "I never expected my husband could cook!"

Zhao Liping smiled and glanced at her husband. Actually, she usually did the cooking, but after she got further into her pregnancy, Yang An took over.

"What's the big deal? Men in the military can do everything!"

Lu Yao was somewhat looking forward to it!

Under the eager gazes of the two women, Fu Yuanzheng and Yang An came out carrying the stir-fried dishes.

Chicken stew with potatoes, braised pork belly, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, stir-fried shredded potatoes, plus a winter melon soup and a bowl of steamed buns!

The air was filled with the aroma of food. Lu Yao sniffed it and asked, "Honey, which one did you make?"

Fu Yuanzheng: "Braised pork and scrambled eggs with tomatoes!"

"Then I want to try it!" Lu Yao couldn't wait to pick up a piece of braised pork.

It was fatty but not greasy, and she nodded in satisfaction.

"Honey, this is so delicious!"

Fu Yuanzheng didn't say anything, but his lips curled up in a smile as his wife praised him.
