When Captain Shen's daughter-in-law saw her mother-in-law who was so angry that she couldn't eat, she felt extremely happy and her favorable impression of Sheng Zexi and his lover increased rapidly.

Finally someone can cure this nasty old woman.

Here, Sheng Zexi, who had just finished his homework, returned to his own home.

As soon as he came in, his wife took the food from his hand, pulled him to sit down, and pushed a bowl of mutton soup in front of him. "This is the mutton soup I bought at the market this morning. It's delicious. I packed this especially for you. Try it."

"Okay. What about you? How about we eat together?"

"No, I've already eaten a bowl and I'm not hungry now, you eat it."

"good."

Gu Jianing kept the mutton soup warm on the stove when he brought it back, and it is still steaming hot.

Sheng Zexi took a mouthful of mutton soup and felt his whole body warmer.

I picked up another piece of mutton and put it in my mouth. It was soft, tender, and fragrant. It was really delicious.

While eating, I listened to my wife chattering about what happened at the market this morning.

"...You don't even know that people outside are saying that I'm ugly, so I'm covering it up so carefully."

"Humph, I'm Gu Jianing, but I'm a beauty. Today I met two kids who called me Fairy Sister. So I didn't cover my face with a scarf when I went out today. As expected, those people were all amazed by my beauty."

When Gu Jianing talked about this, he raised his chin slightly, a little proud, like a proud Persian cat. Sheng Zexi looked at him and nodded repeatedly, "Yes, my wife must be beautiful."

"That's right. By the way, I also met Mrs. Yu today. She's a very nice person and will come to help tomorrow."

"I also bought some cordyceps. I didn't expect that cordyceps can be found in the Northwest. It's a good thing for the body. I bought a lot. I plan to keep some for myself, give some to my parents, and give some to my grandparents..."

"By the way, I also bought a lot of herbs from the Qin siblings who were selling cordyceps. The prices they offered were very affordable."

"I saw that their family was not well off, but I still agreed to a long-term cooperation with them."

"I plan to make plasters for rheumatism and spinal diseases, as well as stomach-protecting pills for stomach problems when I have time. I'll give them to you when you go on your mission."

"..."

It was still snowing heavily and windy outside. Inside the house, the water on the stove was boiling and emitting hot steam. Sheng Zexi was eating warm mutton and listening to his young wife sitting cross-legged with her beautiful eyes shining and her red lips chattering. Sheng Zexi's brows softened unconsciously. At this moment, he only felt that the years were quiet and there was no moment more beautiful than this moment.

"Jianing, I'm here."

The next day came in a blink of an eye. Gu Jianing took a nap after lunch. As soon as she woke up, she heard Zhang Shuwan calling her outside.

Gu Jianing hurried out to open the door, "Sister Shu Wan, you're here so early."

"I came here after I finished my housework."

"I'm sorry to bother you so much."

"No trouble, no trouble."

Sister Shu Wan had just arrived for a while when Sister Yu also arrived.

The time for the banquet in the warm house was scheduled for the evening. Sheng Zexi's comrades and family members calculated that they could accommodate two tables for adults and one table for children.

There is a lot of food for three tables, so we have to prepare it early.

Although Gu Jianing doesn't know how to cook, as the host, she can't just sit there and watch, so she can still help.

When it was time to wash the vegetables, the water was too cold. Fortunately, Sheng Zexi had brought a pair of gloves beforehand, which helped to block out some of the coldness of the water.

"Girl, what dishes are you going to prepare?" asked Mrs. Yu. Why are there so many ingredients in the kitchen, including a lot of meat? Could these be the dishes that will be served today?

Gu Jianing only then realized that he had not told Mrs. Yu what dishes to prepare.

"Braised fish, chicken stewed with vermicelli, fried tofu, stir-fried vegetables, shredded potatoes and pork slices..."

Gu Jianing ordered 8 dishes.

After hearing this, Mrs. Yu took a deep breath. There were 8 dishes, half of which were meat dishes and half were vegetarian dishes.

This is too...

"Is this too much meat? I think two meat dishes at most are enough."

"It's okay. This was decided in advance. I also bought all the ingredients at the market yesterday." Gu Jianing thought it was okay.

"The mountains will be blocked by heavy snow and supplies will be scarce. I'm worried that you won't have anything to eat."

"I know the mountain is closed due to heavy snow. Brother Xi told me about it before. Don't worry, my two sisters-in-law. I have stocked up. You won't be hungry. You forgot that I bought a whole truckload of stuff yesterday. And there should be one or two more big fairs before the university closes the mountain. I will buy some more and stock up then."

Even if she can't buy it at the big market, as long as she has points, she can also buy it in the system's redemption mall, where all the daily necessities such as food, clothing, housing and transportation are very cheap.

After Gu Jianing said this, Yu Saozi stopped trying to persuade him, and said with a smile, "Then those who come to the warm house to eat today are blessed."

"Yes, we are all enjoying this treat." Zhang Shuwan also agreed.

The snow stopped today and the temperature dropped by several degrees. It didn't snow. When I looked up, it was no longer covered with snow.

The ingredients were washed and cut, and the time had not yet come, so the three of them were chatting on the kang in the living room.

When the time was almost up, Sister Shu Wan and Sister Yu went to the kitchen to take turns cooking, while Gu Jianing helped with the firewood and then divided the cooked dumplings and other dishes.

When the dishes were almost cooked, Sheng Zexi came with his comrades and brought borrowed tables and chairs.

Due to Sheng Zexi's instructions, all the comrades brought their spouses and children when they came, also because of their good relationship.

But they also knew their limits. Even if they brought children, they only brought one or two at most, and everyone who came brought a gift.

Sheng Zexi took care of his comrades and their families and seated them, then went into the kitchen.

While the two sisters-in-law were busy, she placed her hands on Gu Jianing's shoulders and tucked a strand of hair that fell from her forehead behind her ear. Her eyes were filled with tenderness, and she said, "Thank you for your hard work."

In fact, Gu Jianing knew that it was her two sisters-in-law who worked hard, but Gu Jianing had always been spoiled and was pampered at home, so she basically didn't need to help in the kitchen.

This afternoon, she was indeed busy running back and forth.

She murmured coquettishly, "Of course I worked hard, you have to reward me later."

Sheng Zexi quickly assured, "Definitely!"

Seeing her like a proud little kitten, Sheng Zexi felt so fond of her that he wished he could hold her in his arms and give her a good rub.

But in the end, out of consideration for his two sisters-in-law, he held back.

"My two sisters-in-law, I'll serve the dishes."

"Yes, yes, yes."

When Sheng Zexi was carrying the dishes out, the two sisters-in-law made faces at Gu Jianing, especially Sister Yu, "I've never seen Captain Sheng so gentle before. As expected, there is always someone who can conquer you. The rebellious Captain Sheng was taken care of by our Jianing."
