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

Fu Huaichuan didn't know what happened in the Peng family.

When they got married, he wanted to buy a watch for Lin Xi, but the county supply and marketing cooperative was out of stock.

This time he finally bought some ready-made goods in the city. In addition, he also bought a bottle of colorful face cream for Lin Xi, Fu's mother, and Fu Ge, and half a pound of malt extract for Fu Ning and Fu Liangdong, a bag of popcorn that all the children in the city love to eat, and a can of sugar water that Fu Liangxue was drooling over...

Only then did he carry the bags and lead Fu Ning and the three kids on the journey home.

When Lin Xi woke up, she found the house quiet.

I thought Mother Fu took Fu Ning and the three little ones to the hospital to replace Fu Huaichuan.

As a result, just as she took out the steamed sweet potatoes from the pot to eat, Fu's mother, who was busy in the backyard, came out.

Seeing Lin Xi eating the sweet potato, Fu's mother asked in surprise: "Xixi, have you eaten the egg custard and big meat buns I warmed for you in the pot?"

"Mom, are you home? I thought you and Ningning went to the hospital to replace Fu Huaichuan."

"Old Four took Ningning and Dongdong to the city to pick up Xiaoxue before dawn. I got up this morning, washed up, went to the hospital and delivered breakfast to your father and Mr. Xie, and then came back. Did you eat the breakfast in the pot? If not, I'll go get it for you."

"Mom, sit down and rest for a while. I'll get it myself."

"You eat yours, I'll get it."

Mother Fu held Lin Xi's shoulders as she tried to get up, then turned to the kitchen and brought out the warm breakfast in the pot to Lin Xi.

Seeing this, Lin Xi said, "I originally planned to save these egg custard and meat buns for Fu Huaichuan to eat when he came back, but I didn't expect him to go to the city so early in the morning."

"The fourth brother originally wanted to wait for you to come back from South City before bringing Xiaoxue back, but his father disagreed. Firstly, he is no longer in good health, and secondly, it is not a good idea for us to leave Xiaoxue at your third sister's house for her parents-in-law to take care of. After all, they haven't even taken care of their own grandson for a few days. Even if we paid for it this time, it is inevitable that they will complain after a long time. So bringing Xiaoxue back earlier will save your third sister from being caught in the middle. You don't know how biased her parents-in-law are..."

Mother Fu knew that Lin Xi would know about these things at home sooner or later.

While Lin Xi was having breakfast, she talked to her about the Peng family, especially Mrs. Peng and Peng Jiaojiao.

"Xixi, don't be fooled by your third brother-in-law's decent appearance. His sister is tall, strong and fat, like a big black bear..."

When Lin Xi heard Fu's mother say that Peng Zhendong's sister was a black bear spirit, she was stunned for a moment, but she soon understood why Fu's mother said that.

"She even dared to laugh at Ningning in public on the day your third sister and her husband got married, saying that he was a fool and wasted food if he lived, so why didn't he just die? Ningning and Ge'er were so angry that they had a fight with her in public, but both siblings lost. Ningning was so angry that she didn't eat for several days... Her eldest sister-in-law is even worse... She keeps trying to sow discord all day long and can't bear to see your third sister live a good life... Fortunately, your third brother-in-law is a capable person and took your third sister out to live on her own a long time ago."

The reason why Fu's mother chose Peng Zhendong as her son-in-law was because of Peng Zhendong's sense of responsibility. Otherwise, she would not have dared to hand Fu Mingwei over to him.

"Maybe it's because things that are close by stink, but things that are far away smell better. Your third sister and her husband moved out and lived on their own. Their relationship with her parents-in-law has eased a lot, but her sister-in-law has never been quiet. I heard from your third sister that every time her sister-in-law did something secretly, your third brother-in-law would go home and beat up his eldest brother."

"Puch!"

Lin Xi couldn't help laughing and said, "Well done. Speaking of being beaten, Mom, I really have something to tell you."

"What's the matter?" asked Fu's mother.

"After Fu Huaichuan and I take Ningning, Dongdong and the other three siblings to join the army, I want the four of them to train with Fu Huaichuan, and then learn a few tricks. We won't bully others proactively, but if someone really dares to bully us, we have to be able to protect ourselves, right? We can't just passively take the beating like before."

Lin Xi thought of the original book where Fu Ning was beaten to death.

She wished she could increase Fu Ning's fighting power to the maximum with just one click, so that if anyone dared to bully Fu Ning again in the future, she would let Fu Ning beat him to a pulp.

Mother Fu thought for a moment and said, "Dongdong and Chenchen can learn. They are smart and know their limits. Forget about Ningning and Xiaoxue. Ningning... I beat him up and he can't keep his limits. Xiaoxue is a girl and she is still young. I am afraid she can't bear these hardships. I am also afraid that if she learns these things, it will be difficult for her to find a partner when she grows up."

"Mom, if Xiaoxue looks like my third brother-in-law's sister, tall, strong and fat, it's fine if she doesn't learn. But if she looks good, what if she looks good like me? If she meets a bad guy in the future, won't she have the ability to protect herself? Of course, we have to respect the child's opinion. If she wants to learn, can you and Dad not object? In any case, if a girl has the ability to protect herself, you, Dad and Fu Huaichuan can be more at ease no matter where she goes in the future, right?"

Lin Xi may have seen too many cases of girls who met the wrong person and had no ability to protect themselves, so she always felt that girls should also have the ability to protect themselves. For example, she knew to work in a martial arts school from a very young age to learn martial arts. When she grew up, it was very popular for girls to learn Muay Thai, so she went to learn Muay Thai, but she didn't know that she would fall in the end because of staying up late...

"After my hand is healed, I will also have to exercise, so that when I go out alone to do something in the future, Fu Huaichuan will be more at ease."

Mrs. Fu thought about it and realized that it made sense. "As long as Xiaoxue agrees, her grandfather and I have no objection."

“Even if Xiaoxue doesn’t agree, Dongdong and Chenchen should be able to find a way to make her agree.

"It was obvious that Lin Xi was going to leave the task of persuading Fu Liangxue to learn martial arts to Fu Liangdong and Fu Liangchen.

Because they want the best for their sister Fu Liangxue more than anyone else.

Mother Fu: "You little rascal..."

"Mom, since Xiaoxue is back today, I'll cook today's meal. If Xiaoxue doesn't like me, I can still bribe her with delicious food. But you have to help me. Without you to help me, I really can't handle it alone..."

"also."

Mother Fu hesitated for a moment, but finally agreed.

Firstly, she also craved the dishes cooked by Lin Xi, and secondly, she would prepare all the dishes cooked by Lin Xi in advance, so that Lin Xi only needed to stir-fry them when the time came.

"What delicious food are you going to make for Xiaoxue?"

"Make a stewed potato, sausage and multi-grain rice for Ningning, Dongdong and the other two siblings. Add some carrots, green vegetables and corn kernels. It will be delicious. Then make a cornmeal, tomato and egg dumpling soup and a shredded potato and egg pancake. We adults will make a big stew of potatoes and pork ribs, and add the leftover pig offal and some green vegetables picked from the backyard." The sausages at home were made by Fu's mother during the Chinese New Year.

Because usually there are only Fu's mother, Fu's father, Fu Ning, and Fu Liangdong's three siblings at home, and there are still quite a few left now.

Potatoes, carrots and sweet potatoes are all grown in our own fields, free of charge.

"Are the multi-grain rice with potatoes and sausages only for Xiaoxue and her friends, or do we adults also get some?"

"We adults have a share, too."

Lin Xi originally only wanted to cook the portion for Xiaoxue and the others, but when she heard Mother Fu ask this, she knew that Mother Fu also wanted to eat it, so she decisively changed her mind.

Mother Fu: She was so scared. She thought her daughter-in-law was not making their portion today in order to save food!
