"Dad, don't you have to go to work today?" Lu Xingzhi asked quizzically.
"How can I not have to go to work? It's all because you're back. Your mom insisted on taking leave with me. She said that ever since you joined the army, you haven't been home even once in a year. Now that you're back so suddenly, we should have a good time together. " Father Lu had a good temper. When he saw his son, whom he had not seen for more than a year, he was very fond of him. He sized up Lu Xingzhi from head to toe and nodded. "Not bad. You've become more muscular."
"Don't listen to your dad's nonsense. It's not like he just joined the army. He's been in the army for almost three years. The muscles that should be muscular have been trained long ago. By the way, did you come down from upstairs? Where's Jiang Yao? Has her fever gone down? Hasn't she woken up yet? I saw that the breakfast in the kitchen cabinet hasn't been touched yet. " Although Mother Lu's tone was mild, it was clear that she cared a little about Jiang Yao. As she spoke, she looked in the direction of their room on the second floor.
Lu Xingzhi shook his head and replied, "Mom, I checked her forehead just now. She's fine. Her fever has gone down. She looks quite energetic. But when I came back, she seemed to have just woken up. It's almost eleven o 'clock now. She probably doesn't have the appetite for breakfast, right? I'll go wash some fruit. Maybe she'll eat some. "
Lu Xingzhi knew Jiang Yao's habits. When she was in class, she ate breakfast at half past six in the morning. She didn't have much of an appetite after the usual meal time. Moreover, she had been feeling unwell for the past few days.
Mother Lu was amused when she heard this.
"I've raised you for so long, but I've never heard you wash fruit for Dad and Mom. You really dote on your wife." Mother Lu's heart ached. She shook her head and pulled Lu Xingzhi back from the kitchen. She pressed him down on the sofa and said, "You're finally back from the army. Sit down and rest well. Talk to your dad. I'll go get the fruit!"
"Thank you, Mom!" Lu Xingzhi didn't insist on going to the kitchen. He knew that if he insisted on getting some fruit for Jiang Yao, his mother would be even more unhappy.
Mr. Lu chuckled at the side. "Men have to dote on their wives. Your mother often says that it's hard to be a woman. After you get married, you'll be a guest in your family and an outsider in your in-laws. As the husband, he's the closest person to her. If the husband doesn't dote on his wife, her life will be very difficult."
In the kitchen, Mama Lu laughed in anger when she heard her husband's words. "You two, father and son, are my biggest nemesis." After a pause, he continued, "Son, it's true that you dote on your daughter-in-law, but it depends on the situation. Some women can't stand being doted on. If you spoil them too much, they'll become arrogant."
Everyone knew what Mother Lu was referring to.
Lu Xingzhi curled his lips and didn't reply. He just shook the newspaper in his hand but didn't read much of it. He was thinking that he was willing to accept his wife even if she was spoiled to the heavens.
However, the person he wanted to dote on might not be willing to be doted on by him.
Upstairs, Jiang Yao vaguely heard some of the chatter downstairs. She changed her clothes and walked out of the room. When she stood at the door, she happened to hear Mama Lu and Lu Xingzhi's conversation. Without waiting for Lu Xingzhi's reply, she hesitated for a few seconds before going downstairs.
