Chapter 28: The dead girl is so lucky

"Comrade Xiao Shen, the food you cook is so delicious that people... can't forget it. So I came here after getting off work early today." Hu Chengdong said with a smile to Shen Jintao who was chatting with Xiao Yan.

Hu Chengdong is very handsome, around 30 years old, and successful in his career. He would be the type of guy that young girls would like very much.

But Shen Jintao was not interested in him. If it were in the past, she would definitely have feelings for the gentle Hu Chengdong, but now that she has experienced the good of handsome men, she has no thoughts about this kind of seemingly gentle man.

He stood up and said with a smile, "Mayor Hu, please wait a moment. Please see what you would like to eat. I will prepare it right away."

"As long as you did it, it's fine!" Hu Chengdong's eyes followed Shen Jintao's movements.

After all, as a woman who has experienced many ups and downs, Shen Jintao saw something at a glance. The way Hu Chengdong looked at her was not innocent. Could it be... her peach blossom?

"Xiao Yan, tell Mayor Hu about today's supplies. I'll go prepare them first."

Hu Chengdong felt inexplicably disappointed when he saw that Chen Jintao didn't want to talk to him more.

He was the only one there today, so he ordered a steamed chicken, a braised pork, and a vegetarian dish, which was equivalent to one meat dish, one vegetable dish, and a meat soup. Only a big leader like him would be willing to eat so much in one meal.

This is very simple. Ever since the name of "Master Xiao Shen" became famous in the town, he has to prepare two pots of steamed chicken in advance every day, but even that is not enough.

Chen Jintao quickly prepared the braised pork and seasonal vegetables. The braised pork was bright in color and fat but not greasy, which immediately conquered Hu Chengdong's eyes and stomach.

"Comrade Xiao Shen, your cooking skills are truly amazing. Whoever marries you will be very lucky."

Chen Jintao felt like laughing for some reason when she thought of the "lucky" man. The man was urgently recalled to the army and had not yet tasted her cooking. It was quite miserable to say the least.

"Mayor Hu, you must be joking. This is nothing."

Chen Jintao only has one more memory than others, which is equivalent to living many more years. In this age where no one is particular, wouldn't the things she makes be exquisite and delicious?

"Most people don't have your skills. You are beautiful and have this skill. Your husband is really lucky."

Shen Jintao smiled but did not respond.

Hu Chengdong was quite sensible and did not keep dwelling on Shen Jintao's personal problems. He started to eat seriously and left after eating.

Xiao Yan looked at Hu Chengdong's back and couldn't help but sighed twice, "Speaking of which, Mayor Hu is really amazing. Not only is he young and promising, but his family background is also extraordinary. He is also so handsome. I heard that he is almost 30 years old? He has never been in a relationship! He is definitely the man in my mind. I don't know who will end up with him."

Xiao Hu looked at Xiao Yan and smiled, "Don't even think about it. Mayor Hu wouldn't be interested in a family like us. Unless you are as pretty and capable as Master Shen."

Xiao Yan wailed, "How can this be compared? Not to mention Jin Tao's craftsmanship, I have never seen a prettier face than hers. Ah! It seems that I have no chance of finding my male idol."

Chen Jintao: ...Thank you, please don't cue me

"Speaking of which, we haven't met Xiao Shen's husband yet. Aren't you married? When are you going to bring him over for everyone to see?"

Master Zhuang said with a smile.

That’s right, Master Zhuang has returned to work. At first, he was a little angry because this sudden appearance took away the job he was planning to get for his apprentice, but after seeing how powerful Chen Jintao was, he was completely convinced.

Master Zhuang is a man who is very passionate about his career and has good skills, but he is still far behind Shen Jintao. He has also learned a lot from Shen Jintao during this period. How could he be dissatisfied? The more he looked at the girl, the more he liked her, and he wished he could adopt her as his goddaughter.

After understanding her master's attitude, Luo Ya changed a lot. She did her job honestly and occasionally chatted with Shen Jintao.

Chen Jintao likes the current working atmosphere very much. It makes people feel relaxed and there is no intrigue. This is very good. "Master Zhuang, didn't I tell you that my lover is a PLA soldier? He hasn't come back yet. When he comes back, I will bring him to meet you."

"Wow! Jintao, your lover is a soldier? Isn't he tall and long-legged, very handsome?" Xiao Yan's eyes were full of stars.

Shen Jintao thought about it and realized that he was really handsome, so she nodded without any modesty.

"How come you are so lucky, little girl? Your parents treat you well, you are beautiful and capable, and you married a soldier. Ahhhh! How come all the good things happen to you?" Xiao Yan was very unconvinced.

Chen Jintao covered her mouth and smiled, "Everyone has their own destiny. Maybe your destiny is on the way?"

"Hey, Jintao, why didn't you follow your husband into the army?"

Xiao Yan suddenly asked.

Sister Zhang smiled and said, "Not all military dependents can accompany the troops. They must be at least at the deputy battalion level. After all, there are so many soldiers. How can there be so many houses if all of them go to accompany the troops?"

"Xiao Shen is still so young, and her husband should not be too old either. It's already amazing that he can be a company commander."

What Sister Zhang said did make sense, and Chen Jintao didn't explain too much. After all, these people didn't know that they would be joining the army later, so she planned to wait and talk about this matter.

Chen Jintao went to and from work every day, and her life was very fulfilling, but...

There is always someone to ruin the good times.

After Chen Chunmiao and Lu Qingshan got married, they lived in a separate room in the educated youth center. At first, they got along pretty well. After all, Chen Chunmiao was young and beautiful, and Lu Qingshan was gentle to her for a few days.

But when Lu Qingshan returned home three days later, he found that Mr. Shen was unwilling to pay attention to them at all, and Lu Qingshan suddenly felt a little regretful.

If I had married Chen Jintao, would the situation be different?

Or is it that only the old lady is partial to Shen Chunmiao, while Mr. Shen, who actually decides the number of people returning to the city, prefers his granddaughter Shen Jintao?

When Lu Qingshan thought of this, he felt very regretful, so on the day when Shen Jintao was on vacation, he quietly followed Shen Jintao up the mountain.

After walking for a while, Chen Jintao felt someone was watching her from behind. She didn't dare to walk to places with fewer people, and started to go towards where other team members were picking wild vegetables.

Of course Lu Qingshan would not let her go. He had finally found such an opportunity to meet her. Although Chen Jintao was already married, she once loved him so much. Now she was a chef in a state-owned restaurant and her salary was not low. If she was willing to help him, his life would definitely improve a lot.
