Chapter 236: Chapter 0236: Great Surprise 4_1

Before getting married, he had risked his life on the battlefield tirelessly. Small injuries were not to mention, but severe wounds had almost cost him his life. Although his exceptional skills did not interfere with his marital life after marriage, he still held a sliver of worry about being deficient in energy and vitality. Such good news had shattered his worries into pieces. Like dust, they were shattered so finely that they almost immediately carried away by the wind, leaving no trace behind.

At the same time, he was so overjoyed that he became dizzy and could not distinguish between east, south, west, and north.

Pregnant, they were going to have a child!

He, Lu Jiang, was going to have a child of his own at the prime of his life.

This child was about to carry on his lineage.

Whether it was a boy or a girl, they would be his second-most cherished treasure. Naturally, his first was the baby’s mother.

Returning home in a daze, Lu Jiang attracted curious glances from his family members. He was so lost in his thoughts that he failed to notice that his wheelchair nearly bumped into the door.

Lu Tianzhi, who was behind him, quickly grabbed the wheelchair thinking it was strange. He innocently said, "Uncle, did something good happen? Look, your smile is stretching all the way to your ears! And you’re not looking at where you’re going. What if you bumped into the door?"

The good news of his wife’s pregnancy was all that Lu Jiang could think about. It felt like there were stars swirling before his eyes that he didn’t even register his nephew’s question. Feng Qingxue, who was known for her quick reactions, laughed and said, "I just had a run of good luck, brought back some tasty food, even got us some meat, so your uncle is very happy." She was too embarrassed to announce that Lu Jiang had nearly pushed his wheelchair into a river on the way home.

People focus on food more than anything else, and upon hearing mention of it, Lu Tianzhi and Guan Cheng’s eyes lit up with excitement.

"Tasty food! Meat!" The brothers exclaimed in unison, forgetting Lu Jiang’s unusual behavior.

The younger Feng Qingyun also made no effort to hide his yearning for meat.

Due to the constraints of the times, Feng Qingxue couldn’t afford to use meat in her dishes as liberally as she used to. Their diet mainly consisted of simple meals and they only had meat dishes four times in the past month, including the time they had stir-fried eggplant with preserved meat.

Even so, the kids were very content. After all, many families in Wanglou Brigade didn’t even have meat during the New Year!

Feng Qingxue smiled and nodded, "Yes, meat. I brought back a large chunk of mutton and a bit of pork fat. I checked the calendar, and the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming up. After the festival, we’ll be busy, so I thought I’d buy some tasty treats for everyone to replenish ourselves."

The moment the children heard mention of mutton and pork fat, they started to drool.

"Mutton has a strong smell that is not pleasant. Let me take care of it. You’ve had a long day, go rest inside." Upon hearing his wife’s conversation with his nephew, Lu Jiang finally snapped out of his joyous stupor, rolled up his sleeves, and instructed his older nephews to help unload the bamboo basket from his bike and bring it to the kitchen, while persistently urging his wife to go rest.

Seeing that her husband actually wanted to help, despite only having a few cooking tricks up his sleeve, Feng Qingxue did not reject his offer.

Is it not normal for a husband to help with housework when his wife is pregnant?

She, Feng Qingxue, didn’t assume all the household chores by herself. Lu’s father and Lu Tianjun and Guan Cheng took care of their own laundry and mended their own clothes when needed. Most of the time, the children were the ones to wash the dishes and clean up the table after meals.

"Having meat for dinner is not beneficial for one’s health. Soak the fresh meat in well water overnight and cook it tomorrow at noon so that everyone can eat more. Hang the preserved meats to air dry, they’re for you to take back to the brigade. Put away the rest of the things, you know where they all go. Take out the tofu from the basket and pick some bok choy from the garden to stew for dinner."

"I know, I know. You go rest, I got this!"
