After the meal was ready, Lin Jingshu picked out a plate, separated the mulberries he had picked in the afternoon, and knocked on the door next door with the plate.

Su Hongping was watching her son do his homework in the room.

Although Ji Xin is usually naughty, his academic performance is good in the class.

The only shortcoming is that he can't sit still. In Ji Pingshan's words, he has nails on his butt.

During the time it takes to solve a problem, he either lies down or stands up. In any case, he sits up straight for less than five minutes before returning to his lazy state.

During class, he scratched his head and wanted to run away, but he didn't know what good things outside were attracting him.

"Write quickly, otherwise we won't wait for you for dinner later."

Su Hongping did nothing in the afternoon and just watched him do his homework. She didn't know what to eat when Ji Pingshan came back, so she told her son to finish his homework quickly and got up to go to the kitchen to cook.

As soon as she left, Ji Xin lay dejectedly on the table, tapping the paper with a pencil and sighing.

"Brother, hurry up and do your homework."

My younger sister, Ji Nian, acted as a little supervisor and was assigned a difficult task by our mother.

She barely held the pencil in her little hand and drew on the paper. She looked up and saw her brother in a daze, so she reminded him.

Ji Xin: "Sister, I'm too tired from doing homework. I want to take a rest."

Ji Nian tilted his head: "How can doing homework be tiring? Sister Jia Jia said she loves doing homework the most."

Being refuted by his favorite sister, Ji Xin's little manly face was embarrassed and he couldn't help but retort: ​​"Wang Jiajia is only in the first grade, and her homework is simple. Unlike your brother, I am a big kid and have a lot of difficult homework."

"Yeah?"

Ji Xin blushed at his sister's suspicious look.

Only he himself knew that this was not the case.

When it comes to studying, he is neither lazy nor diligent.

Since he was a child, his teachers praised him for being smart and quick to understand things. This was indeed the case. While other students could do arithmetic by scratching their heads, he could understand it after just two glances. He could do difficult ones no problem after doing them several times.

Over time, laziness sets in.

He just wanted to play outside every day and gradually lost interest in his studies. He could only sit down obediently under his mother's supervision.

"My brother promised to take me to school to play, so I can't neglect my studies."

Ji Xin's brain suddenly hit him, and the chaos seemed to begin to dissipate.

Yes, he had promised his sister that he would study hard and take her to a school outside the island to see different scenery.

If he doesn't study hard, he might never have the chance to go out in his life.

Ji Xin patted his chest, his eyes gleaming as he said righteously, "Don't worry, Nian Nian, I can't take back my words once they're spoken."

Ji Nian scratched his head and said doubtfully, "Brother, we don't have a horse at home."

Ji Xin: “…”

"Knock, knock, knock."

There was a knock on the door. Su Hongping was busy cooking in the kitchen and couldn't leave. She leaned over and called into the room, "Ji Xin, go open the door."

Ji Xin responded, ran to the door, and saw that the visitor had an embarrassed look on his face.

"Hello, Auntie."

Lin Jingshu raised the corners of her mouth and responded with a smile, "Hello Xinxin, is your mother home?"

Su Hongping heard the voice, looked outside, and found that it was Lin Jingshu. She wiped the water off her hands and welcomed her in.

"Jingshu is here, come in and sit down quickly."

Lin Jingshu saw that she was wearing an apron and was obviously cooking.

"I won't go in. The seafood my sister-in-law sent me is really plump. I tried cooking it while it's fresh. Sister-in-law, please help me taste it and see how it tastes. I found these mulberries in the mountains this afternoon. They're for Xinxin and Niannian. I also brought some dried goods from home. You guys can try them. Don't be disgusted."

"You are so polite. How could you reject such a good thing? I was wondering why I smelled a delicious fragrance today. It turns out you made it. Your craftsmanship is really good."

While Su Hongping was cooking, she was wondering whose food was so delicious.

I can smell the cooking of the military wives near my home, but this one today is rare. I can smell it from several blocks away. It's probably a master.

I scratched my head but couldn't figure out who it was, and I didn't think it was my new neighbor at all.

"Thank you for the compliment, sister-in-law. I don't have any other hobbies. I just like to cook."

Su Hongping: "If I had such good skills, I would make it every day."

Su Hongping is from the northwest and met Ji Pingshan through her hometown family.

Her parents died when she was young, and only a few distant relatives were left in her family. After getting married, she followed the army to the island.

My cooking skills are also slowly improving, but they are still limited to cooking food.

Fortunately, the three of us at home are not picky eaters, so we just ate it.

Lin Jingshu said that she was not a good cook and her cooking skills were even worse than what she could show to others.

"Auntie smells so good."

When Ji Nian heard the noise, he ran out of the house and looked at Lin Jingshu without blinking.

Looking at the two children's expectant eyes, Su Hongping took the things and said, "Then I won't be polite with you. Look how greedy these two little guys are."

When Lin Jingshu returned home after delivering the things, Gu Chengze had already set the table.

The cucumber shreds are cut evenly and paired with a thick and oily egg sauce. After stirring, each noodle is covered with a thick sauce, which tastes more delicious than meat.

Gu Chengze picked out the clam meat and razor clam meat, piled them into a small bowl, and pushed it in front of Lin Jingshu.

Lin Jingshu reciprocated by giving him a steamed crab.

Just as they were having sex, a man pushed the door open and came in.

Gu Chengze looked up when he heard the noise. Who would come here at this hour without even knowing the most basic manners?

"Captain Gu is also at home."

Lin Jingshu looked up in confusion. The person in front of her was wearing a Dacron shirt and blue-gray pants. She didn't know what the fabric was, but it looked of good quality.

His family conditions seemed good, but the look in his eyes made me uncomfortable. He thought he had concealed it well and was looking at me inconspicuously.

Gu Chengze looked at her face and pulled out a name from his mind, "Is it Sister-in-law Feng?"

Feng Jinhua smiled flatteringly and said, "Captain Gu has a really good memory. My husband is Sun Qiang, from the regiment next door."

Gu Chengze nodded. He had an impression of Sun Qiang. He was a bit ambitious and had some unpleasant relationships with his subordinates.

But these are all matters of the military camp and have nothing to do with the families.

Out of courtesy, Lin Jingshu invited Feng Jinhua to sit down and casually asked, "Sister-in-law, have you eaten yet?"

Feng Jinhua looked at it and nodded, "Eat it."

Not only did I eat it, I also ate braised pork.

The braised pork in the cafeteria is delicious, fatty but not greasy, and leaves a lingering fragrance in your mouth when you bite into it.

Otherwise, she would have eaten it all herself to save it for her son.

He looked at the seafood on the table again with a bit of disgust in his eyes.

Fortunately, when she was taking a walk, she smelled a delicious fragrance and thought it was something delicious, but it turned out to be seafood that no one wanted.

The most abundant things on the island are clams and razor clams. You can dig up a bucket of them just by going to the sea.

This thing is fishy and tastes bad, so it can only be crushed and fed to chickens.

"No, you guys eat, I just ate braised pork and I'm not hungry."

Lin Jingshu tutted inwardly. She was just being polite and didn't really want her to pick up her chopsticks.

This little bit of stuff was not enough for her and Gu Chengze to fill their teeth, not to mention adding another person, who was a person with a look of disgust on his face.
