Seventy: The Delicate Military Wife Empties Her Enemy’s Fortune to Raise Her Children Chapter 60

Chapter 60

“No, no, Sister-in-law. We’re all full.”

“We just eat fast. We didn’t neglect ourselves.”

“Yeah, Sister-in-law. You’re really good at cooking. No wonder Lu Fuduan couldn’t wait to bring you to the army after he got leave.”

“…”

Not many people knew about Tang Wan’s family matters, so everyone teased Lu Huaijing freely.

Lu Huaijing’s ears turned red. He said angrily, “If you’re full, go back and rest. You have training tomorrow!”

“Okay, Sister-in-law, you guys eat slowly. We’ll go back.”

“Next time, remember to call me for a meal. This food is too delicious.”

“Congratulations to Lu Fuduan and Sister-in-law on your wedding.”

“…”

Everyone left quickly. Soon, only Director Xu was left. He shook his head and smiled.

“These little rascals. They don’t know how to talk properly.”

“It’s good that they’re lively.”

Lu Huaijing curled his lips and finished the last piece of cornbread in his hand.

There were no outsiders here. Director Xu apologized to Lu Huaijing. “Sorry, Huaijing.

My father is easily influenced. He spoils my mother. She’s a bit fierce. She almost ruined your good fortune.”

“Sister-in-law is reasonable. It’s not a big deal.”

Tang Wan shook her head with a smile. She liked Xia Qing. At least she wouldn’t spread rumors and make Director Xu misunderstand them.

“It’s good that you don’t mind. I’ll go back now. Thank you for your hard work, Sister-in-law. Come over to my house for dinner sometime.”

Director Xu said a few polite words before leaving. Looking at his back, Tang Wan really believed what Lu Huaijing had said earlier.

“I was worried that he would make things difficult for you because of his mother.”

“He has a bad temper, but he’s reasonable.”

Lu Huaijing hadn’t known Director Xu for very long, but he had a good understanding of him.

Looking at the table full of bowls and chopsticks, Lu Huaijing began to clean up. “There’s so much food. You worked hard today.”

“It’s okay. I’ll clean up.”

Tang Wan was about to get the bowls and chopsticks, but Lu Huaijing said, “You worked hard cooking. I’ll clean up here.”

He wasn’t a traditional man. He didn’t think that housework was something that women had to do.

Seeing how determined he was, Tang Wan didn’t insist. “Okay, you clean up the kitchen. I haven’t finished eating yet.”

She went back to the kitchen and ate dinner with Tang Zhou. Lu Huaijing rolled up his sleeves, wiped the table clean, and brought all the bowls and chopsticks inside. He put them all in an enamel basin and washed them.

The man was much taller than the stove, so he had to bend over slightly. His hands were big, making the bowls look small in his hands.

Tang Wan watched him as she ate. She had to admit that a man who was focused was quite charming.

No wonder so many girls liked men who could do housework before she traveled through time.

“Brother-in-law, I’ll help you.”

Tang Zhou, who was full, quickly went to help. Lu Huaijing didn’t stop him.

“Then you go boil some water. We’ll need it for bathing later.”

“Okay.”

Tang Zhou happily went to the stove to stoke the fire and added more water.

When Tang Wan finished eating leisurely, the big and small of them had already cleaned up the kitchen together.

Lu Huaijing wiped the sweat off his forehead. “Wife, you and Zhouzhou go wash up. I’ll go dig the soil outside.”

“Okay.”

Tang Wan watched Tang Zhou pour water and go into the partition to wash up. Thinking about how capable he had been recently, she smiled.

“Don’t work too hard. I’ll wait for you to sleep.”

Her voice was soft, making Lu Huaijing’s heart itch. She ran quickly, and her pale face flushed under the moonlight.

Lu Huaijing wasn’t a clueless man. So, was his wife implying that they could make up for their wedding night?

Thinking this, Lu Huaijing tightened his grip on the hoe. His heart felt as sweet as honey!

Even his digging movements became faster and more forceful. He felt like he had endless energy.

But it was clear that he was thinking too much. Tang Wan just wanted to get closer to him.

They were husband and wife now. She didn’t want to be so polite.

While Tang Zhou was washing up, Tang Wan went back to her space. The seeds she had planted yesterday had already sprouted.

Was the growth rate in her space faster than outside?

Tang Wan excitedly stared at the vegetable patch she had planted yesterday and jumped up in excitement.

She had so much wild boar meat that she couldn’t sell it all at once. So Tang Wan decided to pack some and cure it to make cured meat.

Unfortunately, she didn’t have enough firewood in her space. She would have to find some time to get some firewood.

She organized the things in her space. Then she heard Tang Zhou’s footsteps coming from the small partition.

She came out of her space and quickly took her toiletries and went to wash up.

She locked the door to the small partition and then went into her space. She planted some more vegetables and then quickly finished washing up.

When she came out, Lu Huaijing was carrying his hoe into the house. He put the hoe in the living room and looked at Tang Wan with excitement.

“Wife, I’m going to wash up now.”

He moved very quickly. Tang Wan only saw his back. She was stunned for a moment, then she thought of something.

Tang Wan blushed.

Realizing what Lu Huaijing was implying, Tang Wan’s steps faltered as she went back to her room.

“Zhouzhou, don’t stay up too late. Go to bed early.”

Tang Zhou was reading a book in the room with a kerosene lamp. Tang Wan told him this and then hurried back to her room.

“I’m going to sleep now.”

Tang Zhou obediently blew out the kerosene lamp and quickly climbed into bed and fell asleep.

But he didn’t know that Tang Wan’s heart was racing next door. She stared straight at the ceiling, her mind filled with the image of Lu Huaijing washing dishes earlier.

His fingers were long and slender, very nice-looking. And…

She couldn’t think about it, she couldn’t think about it. Tang Wan slapped her head and then thought angrily.

They were already married. They were probably going to spend their lives together. She didn’t have to be so prudish.

As she was lost in thought, Lu Huaijing politely knocked on the door and walked in. His hair was still damp.

“So fast?”

Tang Wan exclaimed. She felt that this soldier washed up faster than ordinary people.

“I was afraid you’d wait too long.”

Lu Huaijing hung up his towel and walked towards Tang Wan with his long legs.

Every step he took felt like he was stepping on Tang Wan’s heart. Her heart felt like a wild horse running free…

“Turn… off… the… light…”

Tang Wan stammered, not daring to look at Lu Huaijing. Her face was flushed under the light.

“As you wish.”

Lu Huaijing turned off the kerosene lamp. A few seconds later, the scent of grass, belonging to a man, enveloped Tang Wan.

“I…”

Tang Wan nervously clutched the blanket. Her heart skipped a beat. She let him wrap his arms around her waist.

“Don’t be nervous.”

Lu Huaijing softly coaxed her. “If you’re scared, wait until you’re ready.”

They didn’t say what it was, but they both knew what it was about.

Tang Wan, who had been single for so many years before she traveled through time, steeled her nerves and hugged Lu Huaijing back.

“I’m not afraid!”

Since she was already married to him, Tang Wan thought that this was bound to happen between husband and wife.

“You said it.”

Lu Huaijing tightened his grip on her slightly. He cupped her head in his hand and leaned in to kiss her.
