Juzi’s eyes lighted up upon hearing that, and asked her, "What method is it? Does it require a lot of capital? If it’s not too much, I might also chip in. Seeing you making money makes me jealous." Xiao Juzi’s family is financially well-off, so she actually doesn’t need to make money. But her family’s conditions are too good, solving everything for them, which makes Huang Lin feel a bit uncomfortable. He has talked to Juzi about this many times, saying he’s embarrassed to always accept help from his mother-in-law’s family, as it could lead to gossip, and he also feels useless himself. So Juzi thought that if she could also earn money herself, Huang Lin would probably feel a bit better. "Okay, this type of capital shouldn’t be too much," Fang Pingying pondered, "But it might be more complicated than making pastries and such, involving some minor technical aspects. We need to ask Uncle Zeng if it’s feasible, and if so, we can definitely make money." "Great, I’ll talk to my uncle tonight, and tomorrow we’ll come to your place to discuss in detail," Juzi immediately agreed. Qiu Lian’s cooking skills are excellent, efficient and quick, she made a whole table of dishes in just an hour or so.’ After that, she smiled and said to Fang Pingying, "Pingying, your gas stove is really good, feels like it has a much stronger flame than the ones we use in the compound." Fang Pingying couldn’t help but laugh, "Sister-in-law, you’re exaggerating. All gas stoves are the same; I didn’t specifically buy a better one." Qiu Lian glanced at Fang Pingying’s kitchen gas stove, which indeed was the same as the ones used in their compound, and laughed herself, "It seems like it’s because your house is bigger, making cooking and everything more convenient." However, Qiu Lian indeed envied Fang Pingying for buying a house in the city; after all, buying a house meant settling down here, eventually transferring their household registration, making it their root. Unlike them, who are currently in the military, and might have to leave anytime, potentially returning to the countryside, making it impossible to feel settled. Seeing what Qiu Lian was thinking, Juzi smiled and comforted her by holding her hand, "Sister-in-law Qiu Lian, next year you might also expand your business, and buy a house in the city too. Then the three of us can go shopping together." Qiu Lian, practical in nature, knew buying a house wasn’t easy and laughed, "Let’s see. Right now, I just hope to rent a shop here next year to make some money, to provide a better life for my Lele, and ideally let him settle down in this city when he grows up." The group chatted while eating, and by the time they finished, it was already late. Juzi, heavily pregnant, was almost too tired to stay awake. Huang Lin then took her back home. Now that the business in their shop was good in the morning, Luo Honglan and Qiu Lian opened the shop early and needed to return early as well. Luo Honglan had offered to help cleaning up, but Fang Pingying jokingly sent them off, saying the remaining chores could be done by Luo Zhiyong. Luo Zhiyong had also been busy these days. Although the house was ready and didn’t require much work, he still had to personally handle the purchases. Additionally, with many duties in the military, he was constantly on the move and not having it easy. Fang Pingying really cared for him, and after everyone left, seeing him actually cleaning up, she went over to assist with gathering things and softly said, "The water is already heated; go take a shower first. You have to get up early tomorrow to return to the military." Luo Zhiyong gently pushed her towards the sofa, "No worries, you rest. These things won’t take long to clean up." Fang Pingying knew his stubbornness, so she deliberately yawned, "You go shower first, I still need to bathe later, if we delay it any longer, I’m already tired." Luo Zhiyong thought she was really tired, promptly put down the things he was tidying, and instructed her, "Alright, then take it slow, the kitchen floor is slippery." After Luo Zhiyong showered and came out, Fang Pingying had already tidied up the kitchen and living room, making the whole room neat and tidy, which was pleasing to the eye. Luo Zhiyong smiled at Fang Pingying, hugging her tightly, "Wife, you are really capable." Seeing him shirtless, only wearing shorts, she shivered, hurriedly pushing him towards the inner room, "Quickly go back to the room to get dressed, and tidy up the bed, I’m going to take a shower." Afterwards, she didn’t forget to instruct him, "There are a lot of clothes on the bed, fold them and put them into the wardrobe, I’ll sort them out tomorrow." Fang Pingying went to bathe, and Luo Zhiyong went back to the bedroom. They had just moved in the afternoon, and both of their clothes had not been put away yet, just piled on the bed. Luo Zhiyong, talented in handling other things, felt his brain numb when it came to tidying clothes. Not knowing how, ultimately too lazy to bother, he simply stuffed a big pile into the wardrobe and directly closed the wardrobe door. This way, the room looked neat and tidy again. Luo Zhiyong sat on the bed, looking around the room with a slight smile, feeling inexplicably at ease. Although the quarters over there also felt like home, it was still military housing, and he could be transferred at any time due to work; it wasn’t truly a home in the real sense. But this house was different; his wife would often be here, and their children would grow up here, thinking about it felt reassuring. When Fang Pingying came out after bathing, seeing Luo Zhiyong already in bed, while she was drying her newly washed hair, she asked surprised, "Did you manage to tidy up the clothes so quickly?" Luo Zhiyong smiled, pointing inside the wardrobe, "Didn’t know how to tidy up, just piled everything in the wardrobe, you can sort it out tomorrow." Fang Pingying knew his nature, glanced at him, and wanted to open the wardrobe to see. Who knew, when she opened the wardrobe, all the clothes rolled out. Fang Pingying glanced at him and helplessly laughed. Luo Zhiyong gave an awkward smile, and stood up to place the clothes on a nearby chair, "It’s late, we’ll tidy up tomorrow." Afterwards, he pulled Fang Pingying to sit on the edge of the bed, took over the towel to dry her hair, and said, "Tomorrow I’m going back to the military base, I might be busy these days, won’t come over, you can go to the shop during the day, just sit and handle the money, come back early in the evening. If you feel too lonely at home, let Hong Lan keep you company, Sister-in-law Qiulin being alone in the shop is also fine." "Uhm, don’t come over this week, running around every day is also tiring." She actually didn’t need anyone to take care of her, wasn’t that precious yet. Luo Zhiyong nodded, "It’s the end of the year, the military base is especially busy, plus we have to go back for the New Year, I also need to take leave, so I need to get busy with everything during this period." "We are going back for the New Year too." Honestly, thinking about the family matters back home, Fang Pingying was not too keen on returning. "Yes, we need to go back, I promised my dad last time I left, I want to go back and see him." Luo Zhiyong seeing Fang Pingying’s reluctance, smiled and rubbed her belly, "Besides, with you being pregnant, according to the village’s tradition, we should let the elders see you too."
