When Fu Chen'an saw his wife returning while carrying a bamboo basket from the window, he quickly opened the door and took it from her hand.
After they took their seats, he took out the food and said, "Wife, I have to return to the barracks tomorrow morning to report. If there is nothing important, just stay at home until the locusts leave. You don't have to send lunch either."
Hearing this, Yao Zhi thought for a moment and asked, "Husband, can you leave after lunch? I want to make some steamed buns, pancakes, or dry food for you."
"With so many things happening, you will be very busy and might not have time to have a proper meal. Carrying some dry food with you will be more convenient when you don't have time to cook."
Fu Chen'an was happy that his wife cared about him, but he didn't want his wife to work too hard. So he said, "Wife, you don't have to worry about me. The military cooks will prepare enough food for the soldiers."
