Lu Xingzhou thought Fu Xueyao was going out at this moment.
His eyes flashed, he took out the key from his pocket and opened the door. When he walked into the house, he found Fu Xueyao lying on the sofa.
The moment Lu Xingzhou saw her, his footsteps became much softer, the corners of his mouth began to rise unconsciously, and there was countless tenderness between his brows and eyes.
He moved closer to the sofa and placed the two lunch boxes he had brought on the coffee table.
He squatted down and looked at the sleeping sweet man.
Fu Xueyao was sleeping peacefully and elegantly on the sofa. A thin blanket covered her body, and the blanket swayed gently up and down with every breath.
Her long, glossy black hair was scattered on the pillow and sofa. Suddenly, her body moved, and half of the thin blanket on her body slipped off, and a strand of hair just covered Fu Xueyao's eyes.
She frowned in discomfort.
Lu Xingzhou leaned forward and covered her with a quilt, then pushed her hair to one side with his bony hands.
As if feeling something, Fu Xueyao's eyelashes trembled slightly. She opened her eyes sleepily, her eyes and mind were still a little dazed. It took a while for her to recover.
She sat up slowly: "Are you back?"
Fu Xueyao looked a little annoyed. She thought she would wake up after sleeping for a while, but she didn't expect to sleep for such a long time.
She originally thought of cutting the watermelon into small pieces and putting it on a plate before Lu Xingzhou arrived at noon, so that he could eat it together.
"Have you been waiting for me for a long time? You should wake me up or eat first, otherwise it will delay your work."
Lu Xingzhou opened his lunch box as he spoke: "I just arrived, and it's quite early now. I don't go to work until two o'clock in the afternoon, and now it's not even half past twelve."
"The leftovers are hot, let's eat first." Lu Xingzhou put the chopsticks into Fu Xueyao's hands.
"Today there were braised fish nuggets in the canteen, so I ordered two portions. There were also braised eggplant and green beans."
Fu Xueyao lowered her head and smelled it, and nodded in agreement: "Well, it really smells good. It looks quite appetizing."
Fu Xueyao patted Lu Xingzhou's shoulder like a leader, with a serious face and a cold voice: "Comrade Xiao Lu, thank you for your hard work."
What should I do if my wife is an actress? Naturally, I can only act along with her.
Lu Xingzhou stood with the head of his pen as straight as a cypress, held his head high and said, "I am reporting to the leader that I am not working hard."
"Pfft." Fu Xueyao couldn't help but lower her head and smile.
"You eat first, and I'll cut a watermelon."
It just so happens that I can eat half of this melon at noon and another half in the afternoon. It’s perfect.
Lu Xingzhou raised his eyebrows: "Watermelon?"
Fu Xueyao pointed to the watermelons and cucumbers not far away: "Sister-in-law Yang next door sent them today. She grew them herself. They are growing beautifully, big and round, and they look sweet at first sight."
"In addition to watermelons, she also brought us a bag of cucumbers. She probably picked the freshest ones, and they are all quite tender."
Lu Xingzhou took advantage of the situation and said, "It seems that you are quite happy getting along with her."
Feeling Fu Xueyao's relaxed and happy feeling when he came here, Lu Xingzhou also became happy along with him.
His biggest worry before was that A Yao would feel unhappy following the army.
It's not that A Yao has a bad personality, but he feels that girls always feel a little uneasy when they leave home and go to a new place. After all, there are no familiar people except him.
In her heart, Fu Xueyao is the best daughter in the world, and she deserves all the good things.
He felt that anyone who had spent time with her would like her very much.
Fu Xueyao raised a bright smile: "Today is pretty good."
"Sister-in-law Yang is warm and generous, and she always speaks first and first. I happen to like people who are the first to answer."
"Stop talking, I'll cut the watermelon first." Fu Xueyao turned around.
Lu Xingzhou rolled up his sleeves: "I'll do it, you eat first."
Fu Xueyao pretended to be unhappy and glared at him: "Vice Captain Lu, you have to go to work in the afternoon. I have nothing to do in the afternoon."
She tilted her head slightly: "Don't you listen to the chief?"
Lu Xingzhou laughed helplessly: "Listen, how can you not listen?"
Fu Xueyao came to the kitchen and laid out the chopping boards.
There is only one kitchen knife in the kitchen, no fruit knife.
Fu Xueyao thought that she had to buy another knife, otherwise she would not be able to accept it if the knife was used to chop meat and cut fruits next time.
She picked up the knife, turned on the faucet and washed it twice. Then she put the watermelon in the sink and washed it. She took out a large plate to put the fruit in before starting to cut it.
The cut watermelon is very attractive. The red flesh is all exposed at this moment, and the black watermelon is embedded in it like black pearls.
From time to time, you can still smell the unique fragrance of watermelon.
After a while, half of the watermelon was cut, and Bu Xueyao put the remaining half in the refrigerator.
"Is it sweet?" There were no fruit picks at home, so Fu Xueyao poked a piece of watermelon with unused chopsticks and fed it to Lu Xingzhou. She looked at the man in front of her with a crooked eyebrow and a smile.
As soon as he bit it, he felt the sweet and refreshing juice splashing in his mouth. The sweet juice seemed to be moisturizing every corner of his mouth, and the heat in his body was reduced a bit.
Lu Xingzhou nodded affirmatively: "Sweet!"
Fu Xueyao also poked a piece for herself. As expected, watermelon is the standard food in summer.
"Sister-in-law Yang's melon skills are really impressive."
Fu Xueyao took a bite of the dish and said, "Do you think we should plant watermelons on that land? We can have our own melons in a few months."
"You can eat whatever you want then."
Lu Xingzhou blinked: "Do you really think so?"
"Growing watermelons is not an easy task. It's easy to grow just a few. It's difficult to manage melons in a field, including weeding, fertilizing and watering."
"It's okay when I'm here. I can take care of things after get off work in the evening, but if I go on a mission, these things will become yours."
Fu Xueyao: "..."
She pursed her lips and said, "I just mentioned it casually, so you don't need to pay too much attention."
It's so troublesome, so forget it.
In her previous life, she only raised some easy-to-live flowers on the balcony and planted a few pots of strawberries.
Fu Xueyao: "Then what should we plant on that piece of land?"
At first, Fu Xueyao thought about planting flowers. When the flowers bloomed, she could cut a few flowers every day and put them in vases. This way, the room would be fragrant, and it would also be very beautiful as a decoration.
And flowers can also bring a good mood to people.
However, this idea was quickly passed by her.
It would be okay if they had a single-family house, and no one would care if they planted flowers in the yard.
But the land is all connected together, and the people in this courtyard grow all kinds of vegetables. Planting flowers on her land seems out of place.
Of course, she could also choose not to plant the land and give that land to other members of her military family who needed it.
But Fu Xueyao had an awkward pastoral dream in her heart and wanted to plant something, but she didn't want to cause too much trouble. This worried her to death.
Seeing Fu Xueyao's confusion, Lu Xingzhou said, "How about planting some onions, garlic seedlings and ginger."
