Chapter 1593: You two really have such a good relationship as a couple, I can't even envy you

Tao Saozi walked over to Liu Chuxue with a smile: "Everyone out on the little plaza is talking about you."

Liu Chuxue immediately understood what she meant, but still pretended not to know: "Talking about me? What about me?"

Tao Saozi squatted down to play with the little ones and said as she did: "They're all saying you've got a sharp mind, praising how capable you are, and saying your family's Deputy Commander Fu is a lucky man."

Liu Chuxue picked up the thread with a smile: "Fu Yan Cheng really is lucky."

Wei Daniang and Tao Saozi both burst out laughing.

Tao Saozi looked up and asked: "When are you heading back to the city?"

Liu Chuxue had previously told her about Dujuan's wedding: "Going back tomorrow, just in time to see if there's anything else that needs helping with."

"Is your family's Deputy Commander Fu going back tomorrow too?"

Liu Chuxue nodded: "Yes, he came back from a mission a few days ago and hasn't rested since, saving up his leave days so he could go back with us to attend the wedding."

"Not to speak out of turn, but your family's Deputy Commander Fu really treats you well, he truly takes you and your family's matters to heart."

Liu Chuxue, hearing this, was all smiles: "Listen to the way you're talking, Sister-in-law, as if Deputy Commander Tao treats you badly?"

Tao Saozi gave Liu Chuxue a pat: "How did you drag my man into this? He's got nothing to compare with yours. Day after day he comes home and just lies there. He's decent enough to me and the two kids, but once he's home he never lifts a finger on housework."

"Your family's Deputy Commander Fu is different. Even with Wei Daniang helping out, I've seen him several times helping wash the cloth diapers, and not a trace of reluctance either—he was grinning the whole time."

"Those are his own sons and daughters, washing them is only right and proper."

Just as the two were talking, Fu Yan Cheng walked into the courtyard: "What's only right and proper?"

Liu Chuxue turned around and laughed: "Tao Saozi was just praising you, saying she saw you helping wash the cloth diapers. I said you washing them is only right and proper. Do you have any objections to what I said?"

Fu Yan Cheng's mouth curved into a smile as he walked over to Liu Chuxue: "A wife is meant to be cherished. If I could help with carrying the baby and giving birth, I'd do it for you in a heartbeat, let alone helping wash cloth diapers."

Tao Saozi laughed: "You two really have such a good relationship as a couple, I can't even envy you."

Liu Chuxue naturally understood what she meant by "can't even envy you": in these times, even if it wasn't a blind match, most people got married after only meeting a handful of times—to put it bluntly, it was all down to luck.

She and Fu Yan Cheng had a love match, and they had dated for quite a while before getting engaged, so naturally they got along differently.

Tao Saozi stood up: "My man should be back soon too. I steamed a basin of fa gao and tossed a basin of cold spinach salad, I need to head back and make a soup too."

Liu Chuxue looked at Fu Yan Cheng: "Why are you back so early today?"

Fu Yan Cheng smiled: "Just got back from a meeting in the city, and it was almost time anyway, so I came back first."

Seeing Tao Saozi had already walked out the courtyard gate, he then pulled out a kraft paper bag from his briefcase: "What's this?"

Fu Yan Cheng gestured for her to open it and take a look.

Liu Chuxue had a keen sense of smell. In fact, the moment she asked, she caught the familiar scent. In her past life she had loved eating preserved vegetable and pork belly pies. She'd only mentioned it casually a few days ago, and today he had given her a surprise: "Where did you get it?"

Things were different now compared to the future—in the future they sold them everywhere, or you could just order online. She was genuinely curious where he'd gotten it.

Fu Yan Cheng cleared his throat lightly: "I have a classmate whose wife is Hakka. Hurry and taste it, see if it's the flavor you've been craving."

Liu Chuxue felt a warm glow inside. This man of hers really was something—always saying little but doing a lot, and she was deeply moved.
