Chapter 1548: With a Wife Like This, What More Could a Husband Ask For

Liu Chuxue had never been to the countryside in her past life, so she indeed lacked experience in this area.

However, her grandparents had previously bought a first-floor apartment in the city, where the developer had added a small courtyard; the old couple loved to fuss over growing vegetables, and since they had never grown them before, they often watched agricultural programs and liked to drag her along.

Thinking of the pitifully small amount of knowledge about vegetable gardening in her mind, combined with the original owner's experiences, she suddenly recalled a program on raising poultry she had watched before: "How about you have them try scattering some wood ash on the ground?"

"For one thing, wood ash is a universal fertilizer; it can also replenish potassium, suppress disease, and absorb moisture. You can scatter it on the leaves or on the ground."

Fu Yan Cheng didn't understand farming either, but it sounded fairly reliable: "Alright, I'll go tell them over there to try it."

After finishing this matter, Fu Yan Cheng thought of his leave: "Wife, you'll have to work hard for two more days. I'll finish my current work tomorrow, and starting the day after tomorrow, I'll have ten days of leave. By then, I'll be home taking care of you and the children."

Liu Chuxue looked surprised: "You asked your leader for leave?"

Fu Yan Cheng nodded: "Mm, I had some leave remaining from before, so I thought I'd apply for all of it, but the higher-ups only approved ten days."

Liu Chuxue felt warm inside; she knew this man was worried she wouldn't recover properly from confinement. Her eyes grew moist, and as she spoke, she threw herself into Fu Yan Cheng's arms: "Fu Yan Cheng, you're so good."

Fu Yan Cheng smiled at the corners of his mouth, leaned close to Liu Chuxue's ear, and said softly: "If I don't treat you well, who should I treat well? Mom told me that if confinement isn't done properly, it's easy to leave lasting health problems.

The children are too young, and you're a new mother. How could I leave you to face this alone?"

Liu Chuxue leaned against his chest: "These past few days, Mom and Auntie Wei have taught me a lot. With your help for another ten-plus days, I should be fully adapted."

Just then, Wei Wenbin's voice came from the courtyard: "Grandma, I'm back."

Liu Chuxue smiled: "By the time your leave ends, we'll still have that little helper, Wenbin. With him lending a hand, Auntie Wei can relax a bit."

Remembering something, she added: "By the way, there's a piece of army-green cloth in the cabinet. Please get it out for me in a bit. I wanted to ask Auntie Wei to make a suit of clothes for Wenbin before, but I was afraid she'd refuse, so I never found the chance.

Things are different now. I'm in confinement, and Wenbin comes back every day to help Auntie Wei with chores. It's the perfect opportunity to bring it up; Auntie Wei won't be able to refuse anymore."

Fu Yan Cheng also knew Auntie Wei's temper: "You really thought of everything."

He lowered his head and kissed the top of Liu Chuxue's head.

Liu Chuxue sat straight up immediately: "I haven't washed my hair in over ten days. Don't you mind the smell?"

With that, she rolled back into her spot.

Her entire sequence of actions made Fu Yan Cheng burst into laughter.

After laughing enough, fearing Liu Chuxue might ignore him later, he said: "My wife smells the best. Even if there is a smell, it's the scent of milk, which smells very good."

Liu Chuxue rolled her eyes at him: "Hurry up and find the cloth. In a bit, when Auntie Wei comes in, give it to her so she can finish making the clothes for Wenbin before the New Year."

Fu Yan Cheng knew his wife did all this not only because Auntie Wei was currently taking care of her during confinement, but also because Wenbin was the child of a martyr, and she genuinely wanted to treat him well: "Wife, thank you."

Liu Chuxue smiled at him: "Why are you being so polite with me?"

Fu Yan Cheng felt warmth in his heart: With a wife like this, what more could a husband ask for?

Not long after, Auntie Wei came in carrying dishes: "The chicken soup needs to simmer a bit longer. Eat your rice first, and drink the soup later."

After Liu Chuxue acknowledged her, she took the piece of fabric: "Auntie, this cloth is for Wenbin. He's been lending a hand quite a bit these days, so you can't refuse."

Dear readers, good night.
