I became the male protagonist's wife who died young, and I became a hero by eating melons

After dinner, it’s almost time to rest for the night.

Ji Xiaoxi was troubled when she saw that there was only one bed in the room.

Is she going to sleep in the same bed with Lu Jingchuan tonight?

Logically speaking, they are husband and wife, so it is normal for them to sleep in the same bed. It would be wrong if they didn't. Rumors about the couple's discord would definitely spread the next day.

But, this was the first time she met Lu Jingchuan!

Do you really want to share a bed with a man you meet for the first time?

Although this man is her nominal husband and the person she loves, she still feels uncomfortable.

"Wife, do you want to soak your feet?" Lu Jingchuan walked in carrying a small wooden bucket.

"Foot soak?" Ji Xiaoxi thought she had misheard. Why did someone bring in a bucket for her out of nowhere?

"Yes, soaking your feet is good for your body, especially your heart." Lu Jingchuan put the bucket in front of her and helped her sit on the edge of the bed. "Let's soak our feet every day in the future and try to keep our bodies healthy."

"An An wants one too." An An, who was playing on the bed, crawled over and stretched out his little feet to shake at his father.

Lu Jingchuan brought his son over, took off his socks, and put his feet in the footbath. "Come, soak with mom."

Seeing Ji Xiaoxi not moving for a long time, he smiled and said, "What's wrong, wife? Do you want me to help you take off your shoes and socks?"

"I'll do it myself!" A blush flashed across Ji Xiaoxi's face, and she took off her shoes and socks by herself.

Lu Jingchuan is so good! Bringing water to wash feet for his wife and children, this is too considerate. Although all the men in the Lu family love their wives, she has never seen the eldest brother and the second brother pour water to wash feet for the eldest and second sisters-in-law.

In the present world, she had only seen it in TV dramas.

Although pouring out the foot washing water is just a small thing, it really does not fit in with Lu Jingchuan's image.

She didn't think there was anything wrong with asking Lu Jingchuan to chop wood, fetch water, or even go up the mountain to hunt. He should do some physical work because he had trained so many muscles. But he bent down to pour water for washing feet, something as detailed as this, and yet he did it.

Ji Xiaoxi just felt that the contrast was too great.

Lu Jingchuan noticed that his wife was shy, and his heart was filled with joy.

His mother was right. After all, he and his wife had been separated for so many years, and they had little time together in the beginning, so they had indeed not developed any feelings for each other. This time when he came back, he thought that his wife still had a good impression of him, so he wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to continue to improve their relationship.

Make his wife fall in love with him!

From now on, he will take his wife with him wherever he goes.

His mother had told him that Ji Xiaoxi had a bad heart, so he thought of soaking his feet. An old Chinese doctor in the military hospital said that soaking his feet is good for the heart, can speed up blood flow, promote blood circulation, and reduce the burden on the heart.

The effect will be better if you add foot massage.

When he was free at that time, he specially learned the massage techniques. He had originally planned to massage his wife every day after she joined the army. Now that he is back, he can put them to use.

Ji Xiaoxi was soaking her feet when she saw Lu Jingchuan suddenly take the small stool next to her and sit down, then pick up her feet. She was startled and pulled her feet back, "What are you doing?"

Lu Jingchuan smiled and consoled her, "Don't be afraid, my dear. I'll give you a foot massage. I found an old Chinese medicine practitioner at the military hospital. He said I'm quite good at it and I won't hurt you."

Is Ji Xiaoxi afraid that she will be crushed?

She was embarrassed. The thought of having the person she liked massage her feet was so awkward. She was afraid that her feet would smell.

Ji Xiaoxi pulled her feet back hard, "No need for massage, I'll just soak them in water."

Lu Jingchuan didn't dislike her feet at all. He held his wife's white and tender feet with both hands. He just felt happy. "Wife, trust me, I'm really good at massage. I promise to make your whole body hot and you can sleep well tonight."

Still feeling hot all over?

She now felt like her head was about to steam!

"No, I'm ticklish."

"Wife, do you not want to be close to me? Well, we haven't seen each other for so many years, it's normal that you don't want to be close to me."

Lu Jingchuan sounded frustrated, but although he said that, he didn't loosen his grip at all.

Ji Xiaoxi gritted her teeth. Why did these words smell like green tea?

It sounded as if she was pushing him away on purpose and not letting him get close to her. It was so infuriating.

Can Ji Xiaoxi let him succeed?

She is not an innocent girl who would agree just because of his provocation. She refuses to do so.

She kicked him and turned the tables fiercely, "What do you mean I don't want to be close to you? You have ignored us for so many years. Apart from giving us some money, what else have you done?

The motherland needs you, don’t we need you?

Now you say I'm not close to you, are you blaming me?"

Lu Jingchuan was stunned by the kick from his wife. The kick was not hard, but it wet his pants on his thigh.

In the past, he was busy taking on missions and making contributions. Apart from mailing the allowance to his family on time every month, he rarely cared about his wife and children. He originally planned to wait until his rank was high enough to bring his wife and children to join the army, but he never told Ji Xiaoxi about this decision.

So Ji Xiaoxi took her children and waited for his news year after year, worried and frightened.

When I came back, I doubted her, pretended not to know her, and said that she didn't want to be close to me.

What qualifications does he have to say that?

Lu Jingchuan is a very upright person. He will admit his mistakes whenever he makes them, no matter if it is an accusation from his leader or his wife!

Some male chauvinists feel that they would lose face if they admitted their mistakes in front of their wives.

He doesn't think so. Face is important, but that is a fight for face with outsiders, and one cannot admit defeat.

At home, he would bow his head and admit his mistakes to his wife. He believed that it had nothing to do with saving face.

Why do some people always associate face with their wife? Isn't this creating opposition between men and women?

Leaders always say that women hold up half the sky, which means that women are the same as men.

Whoever is wrong should admit it.

No matter whether he is the husband or the daughter-in-law.

His daughter-in-law said that he paid less attention to them in the past few years. He admitted it and apologized. He would make amends and comfort them as needed.

The tall man lowered his head and put his wife's feet back into the wooden barrel, then he looked up and said, "Wife, I was wrong before. I didn't fulfill my duties as a husband and father. I accept everything you said. If you still have any dissatisfaction in the future, you can bring it up. I will do my best to make it up to you. In the days to come, I will fulfill my responsibilities and be better to you and An An."

These words warmed Ji Xiaoxi's heart. This man would reflect on himself, and would not make excuses to shirk responsibility when he did something wrong. Instead, he would directly admit his mistakes and take the initiative to take responsibility.

The person she likes is indeed not bad!

In fact, the kick she just gave was also for the dead Ji Xiaoxi.

It is true that Lu Jingchuan married Ji Xiaoxi and gave her a stable life, but he also gave her hope, allowing her to hold on to hope while waiting year after year.

When she heard the news that he had died in battle, she must have been in despair at that moment.

Ji Xiaoxi had heart problems, but she still insisted on giving birth to a son for him and raising him well. For four years, Lu Jingchuan did not give much care except giving money. The son did not see his biological father for the first time until he was three years old.

Even though she liked Lu Jingchuan, Ji Xiaoxi's heart was inevitably biased towards the original owner. She had not yet completely put herself into the role of a military wife, and deep down she was still angry at Lu Jingchuan's indifference over the years.

That kick was like kicking away the past, and it was also a way of slightly blaming this incompetent husband for the past Ji Xiaoxi had.

Sometimes it is indeed difficult to have both family and country, just like the ancient saying that it is difficult to have both loyalty and filial piety.

Sometimes you only care about one side.

At this time, those military wives who have been working hard all year round, taking the initiative to take care of the family, and raising the young and old in the family, will appear particularly great.
