The military master pledged his life to the country, and the military wife pledged her life to him.

"Can I keep it?"

Lin Xi's eyes suddenly lit up.

“Yes, but there are quantity limits.”

"It's fine as long as I can raise them. Anyway, I don't want to raise so many. In addition to chickens, ducks, geese, etc., I also want to build a cave in the yard with loess and stones."

"Earth kiln? What is that?" Weekend said in confusion.

"One that can be used to roast meat, roast chicken, roast duck, roast sweet potatoes, roast potatoes, etc."

"Isn't that the equivalent of an oven?"

Fu Ning: "What is an oven?"

It’s the weekend: “A foreign thing for roasting those things your fourth sister-in-law mentioned.”

"But sister-in-law, do you know how to build this earthen kiln?"

“I know, but I haven’t done it.”

"Are there any blueprints?"

"Yes, I'll draw it for you later, and then you and Fu Huaichuan can study it."

"it is good."

"By the way, how about we invite your comrades who helped us clean up the house to have a meal? I'm sure Lao Zhou has troubled them a lot for us during this period so that we can move in with just our luggage today. We can't forget this favor!"

Fu Huaichuan and Weekend didn't expect Lin Xi to bring up this matter on her own initiative.

After the two looked at each other, Fu Huaichuan said, "We have a lot of people to invite this time. Can you give me your hand?"

"Don't we have you? If there are a lot of people, let them help wash and cut vegetables, so that everyone doesn't have to sit at home and do nothing."

It’s the weekend: “…”

As expected, no one who came to the Fu family for dinner was willing to wait for the meal to start.

"Sister-in-law, after you get to know the other sisters-in-law in the family compound, next time you and Brother Fu host a dinner party, someone will come to help you. The wife of Captain Zhou next door originally wanted to come over to say hello to you, but she was afraid of disturbing your rest, so she asked me to tell you that the potatoes in the kitchen were sent by her."

"is it?"

Lin Xi looked surprised.

"I thought you bought all those dishes in the kitchen with your money and tickets?"

"I bought the meat and vegetables with my own money and tickets, but the potatoes and cabbage were given to me by others."

“Who sent the cabbage?”

"It was given to you by Captain Li's lover, but I have already returned the gift on your behalf and Brother Fu."

"Really? That's good."

Lin Xi finally let go of his worries.

"Captain Zhou and Captain Li are both on good terms with me and Brother Fu. Their wives are also quite sensible and worth making friends with. But remember to stay away from the wife of Political Commissar Chen at the east end of the courtyard. She is... very crazy and cannot stand other couples having a good relationship..."

During this period of weekends, I have already figured out the personalities of the sisters-in-law in the family compound.

During the meal, he introduced to Lin Xi the personalities of the sisters-in-law around the Fu family one by one.

Lin Xi, Fu Huaichuan and Fu Liangdong listened very carefully and remembered clearly what was said on the weekend, namely, who can be friends with whom and who cannot be friends with whom.

It was not until the weekend when he had explained everything that needed to be explained that Fu Huaichuan asked, "Is Li Xun's sister Li Yuelian in the army now?"

"Yes, I heard that Li Yuelian caused chaos in her eldest brother and sister-in-law's home. The culprit, Li Xun, went out on a mission the day after sending her to the army. Their eldest brother Li Enli has been worried about their sister Li Yuelian recently. Recently, I heard that he often caught those good-looking young men in the army and asked them if they were single. I guess he wants to find someone who dares to marry Li Yuelian and marry her off."

"Where does Li Enli live? I don't get along well with this Li Yuelian."

"The Li family lives in the newly built building in the back, but this Li Yuelian has a good relationship with Political Commissar Chen's wife, and she often comes here."

Lin Xi: "..."

"One of them can't stand other couples having a good relationship, and the other wants to poach other couples when she sees them having a good relationship. They are quite like-minded."

"Who says it isn't?"

"A political commissar can't even handle his own wife..."

It's the weekend. When I heard Lin Xi's words, my eyebrows jumped suddenly, and I suddenly felt more sympathy for Political Commissar Chen.

His sister-in-law looks young, but she is not a pushover. I hope Political Commissar Chen's wife can be more sensible and not offend his sister-in-law. Otherwise, Political Commissar Chen's life or death will be unpredictable!

The family ate and chatted under the eaves while enjoying the breeze. Their daily life was so wonderful that Lin Xi couldn't help but say after dinner: "It would be perfect if there was a rocking chair at home. In this way, I can sit in the yard and watch the sunrise and sunset. I can also build a grape trellis in the yard later..."

"I'll plant the vegetables today, and I'll set up the grape trellis and rocking chair for you tomorrow."

It’s the weekend: “Brother Fu, I’ll help you!”

"Do you know?"

"will not."

"Then I'll teach you, or you can go to Captain Zhou's house next door and ask Sister Zhou how to set up chicken and duck pens. You should also arrange for your sister-in-law to set up chickens, ducks, and geese as soon as possible, so that we can produce and sell our own eggs in the future. By the way, help me borrow the farm tools I need for growing vegetables."

Fu Huaichuan had to do all the things he could while he was at home, so that Lin Xi wouldn't have to work for him in the future.

After visiting the Lin family, Fu Huaichuan realized that in addition to cooking, Lin Xi only knew how to do farm work such as watering and fertilizing.

"Should I go now or wait until I clean up these leftovers?" Weekend asked.

"Now go."

He is enough for these things on the table.

"How about we stew the leftover braised pork with potatoes... Never mind, maybe next time!"

Lin Xi originally wanted to ask Weekend to take some of the dishes they hadn't finished to Captain Zhou and Captain Li, but she swallowed the words back when they came to her lips. After all, these were the dishes they hadn't finished, and it would be somewhat inappropriate to send them over.

Seeing this, Weekend said, "It's okay, sister-in-law, Captain Zhou and the others won't mind."

"It's a bit inappropriate to give them what we haven't finished for the first time, so next time, you or Fu Huaichuan can bring some to Captain Zhou and the others before dinner. But you both have the last name Zhou, so you're not relatives, are you?"

Weekend laughed and said, "That's my distant cousin!"

Lin Xi: "..."

"Then you still want me to give them the food we haven't finished yet?"

"What do you mean we didn't finish eating? If we hadn't been so full, we would have eaten all the dishes on the table long ago, okay? Besides, it's good enough that he eats some of them, but he's still picky. We can't tolerate his bad habits..." After saying that, Weekend added: "I mainly want him to taste my sister-in-law's cooking skills, not really to give it to him, so I went to the kitchen to get a bowl..."

Without waiting for Lin Xi to say anything, Weekend got up and ran into the kitchen.

Seeing this, Lin Xi said to Fu Huaichuan: "Is it really okay to send the unfinished food to Captain Zhou's house?"

"Captain Zhou had invited Lao Zhou to his house for dinner many times before, but Lao Zhou always refused. As a result, when we came, he seemed to have grown up in our house and ate meal after meal. Lao Zhou sent this bowl of food to his brother because he wanted to let his brother know why he had to stay at our house to eat and drink for free..."

"Lao Zhou gave us money and tickets, so it's not like we were just eating and drinking for free."

"But if he eats at our house for a long time, it will definitely cause criticism from the people in the family compound, so this bowl of food is not just for Captain Zhou."

Seeing that Fu Huaichuan and Weekend knew what was going on, Lin Xi no longer tried to stop Weekend from sending Captain Zhou their leftovers.
