Chapter 160: Chen Mingchuan is going for training

Parents all hope for a bright future for their children.

Qian Sanni was unsure.

But Li Xinyue was confident.

She nodded vigorously: “That’s what I think. In the future, I will definitely cultivate my children to be useful members of society!”

“If they can go to university, they will go to university. If they can’t, I will teach them some skills to make a living. I will never let them become idle members of society!”

If that day ever comes, it would be great.

Now, if boys can’t go to university, the only option is to join the army.

But joining the army is not easy. Physical fitness is key. If you fail the physical examination, don’t even think about it!

If they can go to university, there are countless paths!

In an instant, Qian Sanni was encouraged by the big picture Li Xinyue painted. The entire afternoon, she was enthusiastically talking about how to educate children…

The two chatted and laughed until they went out together to pick up the children at five o’clock.

Dinner was simple.

The military service center still had tofu. A bowl of smooth tofu soup was topped with green vegetable leaves.

They also made a dish of braised pork with green beans and a dish of egg yolk pumpkin.

The braised pork with green beans was very flavorful, and the egg yolk pumpkin was very fragrant.

Chen Yiheng liked it so much that his little mouth bulged, and he didn’t even speak.

Li Xinyue told Chen Mingchuan her plan: “I don’t want to farm anymore. It’s a bit of a waste to leave the land empty.”

“Since Xiao Nan said I can use it as I please, I’ll hire someone to plant some vegetables.”

“I’m thinking, ten yuan a month is not cheap, but it’s convenient to have vegetables at home.”

Chen Mingchuan had never intended for her to plant any vegetables.

Moreover, he always had a feeling that his wife was not meant to be a farmer.

“You decide. Ten yuan a month isn’t expensive. You decide on matters at home; you don’t need to discuss it with me.”

Li Xinyue shook her head: “No, that’s not right. Since we are going to live under the same roof, we need to discuss things together for the long term.”

“When the land is plowed and ready, I will go and plant some vegetable seedlings and sow some radish and cabbage seeds.”

At this time of year, the only vegetables that can be planted are radishes, cabbages, potatoes, and other winter vegetables.

Planting vegetables?

That’s good too.

Thinking about the content of the meeting at noon today, Chen Mingchuan had a prediction: There must be another important task coming down.

Every time the superiors formed a special training team, there was a special task to be carried out.

“Starting the day after tomorrow, I will be going to the training team for training. I will be going to the military district for seven days.”

“The A Division has drawn twenty people, only three of whom are from the division headquarters, the rest are from the various regiments. I will be the captain.”

“I will tell the quartermaster about this later, and let him bring someone over to help.”

“There are some extra vegetable seedlings in the camp’s vegetable garden. I will also ask someone to pull some over.”

Training the day after tomorrow?

“Is the military district far away?”

Chen Mingchuan shook his head: “It’s not far, it’s in the south of the city, about thirty kilometers away, but I won’t be able to come back at night.”

“No problem, you work hard. I’ll be here at home.”

“For vegetables, I’m going to plant a lot of radishes and cabbages.”

“And potatoes, if we can’t finish them, we’ll make potato noodles.”

“Radishes can be dried into dried radishes, and cabbages can be made into pickled vegetables and preserved vegetables.”

“Sour cabbage can be used to cook fish, and preserved vegetables can be used to stew meat and make cakes. They are all good things.”

“When you go, ask the camp to buy some vegetable seeds for me. I don’t know where to buy these things.”

“Okay, no problem.”

Hearing about delicious food, Chen Yiheng, who was eating with gusto, suddenly interjected.

“Mom, I like to eat fish, and I like to eat meat!”

“Pfft!”

Li Xinyue laughed and gave her son a little glare: “Do you think you’re the only one who likes to eat meat? Who doesn’t like to eat fish and meat?”

“But if you want to eat fish and meat, you have to be able to do it yourself in the future.”

“So, you must study hard in the future, okay?”

“I know, Mom, I’ll read the best books.”

Okay, my good son always remembers that, no need to mention it again!

Dinner ended happily. Before Li Xinyue could get up, Chen Mingchuan had already cleared the table.

“I’ll wash the dishes, you’ve been busy all day.”

Chen Mingchuan refused: “No need, I’m a big man, how can I get tired from doing such a little work?”

“If you have such little stamina, how can you complete the tasks assigned by your superiors?”

Li Xinyue: “…”

Even though she’s also sharp-tongued, she found herself speechless in front of this man who was set to be cold and ruthless!

A man who grabs the chores and even has an excuse for it, there aren’t many like him in this world!

I’ll be good to him from now on!

Chen Mingchuan went to wash the dishes, Li Xinyue took the initiative to sweep the floor and even mopped it.

But as soon as she finished, someone came out with a stern face.

“You can’t do physical work right after eating, don’t you know? You even said you understand medicine!”

Li Xinyue: “…”

Should I just lie in bed after eating?

“What kind of physical work is this? When have I ever rested after eating before?”

Before?

Speaking of which, Chen Mingchuan felt guilty.

“That was before, you don’t have to do this anymore.”

“While I’m at home, I promise to do these chores.”

“If I’m on a mission, there’s no way, you’ll have to do them.”

If I’m at home, and I don’t have to do anything, wouldn’t I become a giant baby?

She wouldn’t do that.

Li Xinyue didn’t like to argue.

Anyway, she’d do what she had to do, there’s no reason to lie at home and wait for a man to do everything.

Suddenly, she thought of something else.

“Chen Mingchuan, Wu Weiguo’s wife was discharged from the hospital.”

“Discharged?”

Li Xinyue nodded: “Yeah, Zhao Lan had someone send this sewing machine over.”

Chen Mingchuan nodded: “Then we’ll go see her when we have time.”

When we have time?

He’s going to training the day after tomorrow, where would he have time?

Li Xinyue suggested: “Let’s go see her now, we have some freshly marinated meat at home.”

Just marinated, and not much salt was added, it won’t be too salty.

“You’re leaving the day after tomorrow, it’s not good for me to go alone, I really don’t know them well.”

“By the way, are you busy now?”

Chen Mingchuan shook his head: “No, I just have to be there for roll call at 8:30.”

Li Xinyue thought for a moment: “Then I’ll take a piece of cloth, two pounds of noodles, one pound of sugar and five yuan, is that enough?”

Chen Mingchuan immediately nodded: “Enough, this gift is not light.”

“Okay.”

After they agreed, Chen Mingchuan cleaned up the kitchen and then took his son out…

Wu Xiaohe didn’t expect Chen Mingchuan to come now, she was telling her brother about Zhao Lan’s wrongdoings.

“She’s so generous, it’s a wonder if people will remember her kindness.”

“Second brother, you have to talk to your sister-in-law properly.”

“She’s being recklessly generous, the money for the sewing machine was our family’s dowry.

“Second brother, she’s just being wasteful!”

“I’m telling you, if you don’t talk to her properly, she’ll ruin this family…”

“Weiguo.”

At the door, Chen Mingchuan’s tall figure blocked the door.

As soon as the voice came out, Wu Xiaohe was immediately terrified, her unfinished words were immediately swallowed back…
