Finally, Gu Jianing placed some of her cosmetics and jewelry in the drawer of the cabinet next to the kang.

As soon as I finished my work, I turned around and saw Sheng Zexi coming in with a cup of steaming water.

"Drink some hot water first to warm yourself up."

Gu Jianing took it and felt warm in her hand. Thinking that Sheng Zexi was busy in the yard and still remembered to bring her hot water to warm her body, her heart also felt warm.

"Did you drink it?" Gu Jianing asked.

"Drank it." Sheng Zexi's voice came from the kitchen. Gu Jianing followed and saw him taking the lunch box.

Gu Jianing looked at his tall back and felt inexplicably at ease.

He lowered his head and took a sip of the hot water. It tasted sweet and warm. Gu Jianing's eyes widened. "You added honey."

"Yes." Sheng Zexi answered as he rinsed the two lunch boxes and chopsticks with hot water, "I just took it from the cupboard. My second brother gave it to you, right?"

"Um."

This honey was made by Gu Yunnan who found a beehive in the mountains and made two jars of honey.

He kept one can for his wife Su Miao, and gave the other can to Gu Jianing.

In this day and age, wild honey is very precious.

Gu Jianing happens to like this kind of sweets.

"Then I'll go to the cafeteria to get some food. You can go sit on the kang in the living room and drink. It should be warmer there."

"good."

Sheng Zexi walked up to Gu Jianing and hugged her before turning around and leaving with his lunch box.

Gu Jianing didn't turn around until he disappeared from her sight. She held the cup of water in her hands, sat cross-legged on the kang in the living room, and drank the sweet hot water. Waves of warmth came from below, and Gu Jianing suddenly felt that such a day seemed not bad.

The family compound is not far from the canteen. On the way to the canteen, Sheng Zexi met many comrades and their families, who all greeted him.

Soon, we arrived at the cafeteria. It was already past noon, and there was not much food left in the cafeteria, let alone any meat dishes.

"Captain Sheng, you're back."

"I'm sorry, Captain Sheng, it's late now, so we don't have any good dishes. And as you know, in winter, supplies are scarce, and there is not much food. We are also a good cook who can't cook without rice."

"It's okay." How could Sheng Zexi not know the situation and understand them.

In the end, Sheng Zexi could only take a few big steamed buns and ordered two dishes. On the way back, he was thinking about what to get next.

Because he was thinking about something, Sheng Ze Xisi didn't notice that many people around him looked at him strangely and whispered to him from time to time.

Instead, a good comrade-in-arms, Ji Hui, patted him on the shoulder and said earnestly, "Thank you for your hard work."

Sheng Zexi: What's the hard work?

"Although... you still have to live a good life with your wife."

Sheng Zexi: "Of course." Of course he would live a good life with Ningning.

"I won't say any more. I'm leaving now."

Ji Hui looked at Sheng Zexi's leaving back and sighed. He felt that Sheng Zexi didn't want to talk much about his ugly wife. After all, as a man, who doesn't want his wife to be beautiful and have a good figure?

Sheng Zexi had been introduced to so many beautiful girls by his leaders and comrades, but he refused them. When he returned on vacation, he was picked up by an ugly country girl.

This is really...

However, this is not like Sheng Zexi's character. Sheng Zexi, who used to be unruly, shouldn't he fight back when he was being plotted against? Why did he actually give in?

I can’t figure it out. I really can’t figure it out.

Sheng Zexi left the cafeteria and quickly returned to his own courtyard.

He placed the lunch box on the kang table in the living room and explained to Gu Jianing, "I went there late and only got these. I'll go to the kitchen and stir-fry some rabbit meat, okay?"

Stir-fried rabbit?!

Gu Jianing, who had been feeling a little depressed at first when he saw there were only steamed buns and two dishes, suddenly perked up and said, "Okay."

As soon as he finished speaking, he hesitated and asked, "Will that be too much trouble for you?"

Sheng Zexi glanced at her and ruffled her hair. "What nonsense are you talking about? I'm your man. If you don't bother me, why bother others?"

Gu Jianing: Is that what I meant?

Sheng Zexi stared at her and said seriously, "I like being bothered by you. No, to be precise, your problems are not a problem for me."

"A man should take good care of his wife. If you want to eat something in the future, tell me and I will do my best to get it for you."

"I know." Gu Jianing felt warm in his heart after hearing this.

"Then I'll go show you the fire?"

"OK."

In fact, there is no need to watch the fire.

This stove is connected to two kangs. When the kangs are heated up, the stove will also be hot. You can put down the big pot and prepare the ingredients and start frying.

Whether it was the stove, pots, firewood, or bowls and chopsticks, Sheng Zexi asked his comrades to help buy them in advance.

"…After we got engaged, I called my comrades." Sheng Zexi said.

"Brother Xi, you are so thoughtful and prepared for a rainy day." Gu Jianing said sweetly without hesitation.

Thanks to Sheng Zexi for having someone purchase these daily necessities in advance, they can use them whenever they want as soon as they arrive. Otherwise, they would have to wait to buy them, which would be really inconvenient.

Sheng Zexi brought out a marinated rabbit, picked up a knife, and cut the rabbit into pieces in a few strokes. He then took out green onions, peppers and other ingredients to cut.

Ingredients such as green onions and chili peppers were also brought from Gu's home because Gu Jianing likes spicy food and is quite picky about food and does not like tasteless food.

So, I didn’t bring the dishes, but I did bring these accessories and ingredients.

There was no lard, but there was oil. When the oil was hot, Sheng Zexi poured the rabbit meat in...

"Stand further away so you don't get splashed." Sheng Zexi warned.

"Okay." Gu Jianing obeyed.

After a while, Sheng Zexi put in peppers, onions and other ingredients and stir-fried them again. The aroma soon filled the air.

"Brother Xi, you are amazing. I thought you were great as a soldier, but I didn't expect you to be such a great cook. This stir-fried rabbit meat smells delicious, and it must taste even better."

"How can I be so lucky to marry such a good man? He is simply the best man in the world."

Gu Jianing's lips seemed to be smeared with honey, and she kept praising people sweetly. Moreover, when she praised, her tone was slightly higher, and her beautiful eyes were bright. It was obvious that she was praising sincerely.

Sheng Zexi could hardly suppress the upward curve of his lips, his eyes and brows were filled with excitement, and he felt a surge of energy throughout his body, so much so that even the stir-frying movements of his hands became more powerful.

He said, "Of course your man is fine. You have found a treasure, so you should treasure it well."

Gu Jianing covered her face and giggled. This man is really shameless, but he is kind of cute.

"Okay, then from now on, whether it's cooking or washing dishes, you will be responsible for everything in the kitchen?"

"That's a must!"
