"Wait, I'm going to take a shower first." Seeing someone about to pounce on her, she quickly raised her hand, then grabbed her pajamas and ran to the bathroom.

Gu Mingjing smiled behind him but didn't follow him in. He went to the next room to check on his daughter and saw that she was sleeping soundly, so he returned to his room.

Leaning against the headboard, looking towards the bathroom.

By the time Jianshu came out, Gu Mingjing had been waiting for a long time.

"Wife." His voice was a little hoarse, very seductive.

Jianshu swallowed hard, unable to resist the allure of beauty. He responded and pounced on her for a kiss.

This kiss may not necessarily make the fire burn brighter and brighter.

Gu Mingjing turned on the bedside lamp and the room instantly became dark.

The moonlight outside the window shines through the gaps in the curtains onto the ground, and the moon hangs high in the sky.

The moonlight is so beautiful tonight.

…

We stayed up too late last night, so it was no surprise that Jianshu woke up late the next day.

Gu Mingjing has gone to work, and little Gu Yiyi is reading picture books and playing with toys on the rattan mat in the room.

"Mom, you're awake!" The little girl threw the toy car in her hand, quickly got up from the ground, threw herself into Jian Shu's arms and kissed her.

Jian Shu hugged his daughter and asked, "What did you eat this morning?"

"Little rabbit buns, eggs, and soy milk." Gu Yiyi counted on her fingers, "Mom, I don't want soy milk, I want milk."

"Want to drink milk? Okay, mom will take you to order milk later." Jianshu picked up her daughter and got out of bed.

“Thank you, Mom!”

I patted her little butt and said, "Okay, go play. Mommy will go cook."

It was getting late and it was definitely too late to finish his meal, so Jianshu ate a bun and went to the kitchen to busy himself.

He took a walk in the vegetable garden, picked some peppers, eggplants, cucumbers, etc., and took out about ten pounds of pork belly and some pickled mustard greens from the space, preparing to make preserved vegetable braised pork.

Last night, Gu Mingjing muttered that he wanted to eat this, so Jianshu planned to make more and save it for later.

One dish of braised pork with preserved vegetables was a little too little, so he took another duck and prepared to stew some old duck soup to nourish Gu Mingjing.

Now that I have something my man likes, I can’t let my daughter down, so I made a dish of three fresh vegetables. Little Gu Yiyi especially likes the potatoes in it.

These dishes are a bit greasy, so add some stir-fried cucumber to help relieve the greasiness.

Let’s eat steamed buns as the staple food. I steamed a lot of them yesterday. It would be a waste if I don’t eat them.

While I was cooking, Tiedan came and was so happy to see Jianshu.

"Beautiful sister, you are back!"

"Tiedan is here. That's great. How about you try the preserved vegetable pork with preserved vegetables that I made?" Jianshu took out two bowls, put two pieces of meat in them, and handed them to the two children.

Tiedan didn't bother to be polite with her and handed her the thing in his hand, "My mother asked me to bring it to you. If it's not enough, there's more at home."

Jianshu opened the letter and saw a chicken and more than ten eggs. He couldn't help laughing. He was worried that she had just returned and there was nothing to eat at home.

He didn't refuse Wu Xiufang's kindness and accepted it directly. He smiled and said, "Okay, thank your mother for me. I brought you a lot of gifts when I came back this time. You can take them back later. When your mother is on vacation, I will go talk to her."

"Hey!" Tiedan responded and sat on a small stool, eating meat happily.

He was talking and chatting with the little girl next to him while eating. He was a very outgoing person, and together with Gu Yiyi, who was not introverted at all, the two siblings, who were of different generations, soon became friends.

After eating the meat and wiping their mouths, the two of them became familiar with each other. Little Gu Yiyi spoke up, "Mom, I'm going to play with Brother Tiedan!"

"Okay, don't run too far, okay? I'll call you for dinner later." Jianshu was busy cooking and had no time to pay attention to her, so he just let her go.

Anyway, there won't be any danger in the family compound.

The brother and sister responded and tried to run, but Jianshu quickly called out, "Wait."

Then he quickly found a large bowl, filled it with braised pork, and divided out the local specialties he had brought back. "Take these back. It's hot now, and the snacks inside won't keep well. Tell your mother to eat them early, otherwise they'll go bad."

"Okay!" Tiedan responded happily, then took the things and went back.

Not long after, he returned the cleaned empty bowl and took Gu Yiyi out to play.

"Today, Sister Xiufang asked Tiedan to send over a chicken and a dozen eggs. It seems that shopping is much more convenient now than before." Jianshu said while eating.

"Well, I probably bought it in the village. There are a lot of people secretly raising chickens there, and they're not as valuable as they used to be. There's always someone stewing chicken in the staff quarters."

Jianshu nodded and said, "I'll go check it out later and buy some." He had to keep a cover-up; he couldn't not go out to buy groceries and still have meat at home.

"Well, the money is in the box, take it yourself."

During Jianshu's absence, Gu Mingjing didn't turn in his salary for the first time, keeping it all. He didn't have much use for the money, so apart from occasionally lending some to his comrades for emergencies, he saved most of it.

As soon as Jianshu came back, he took the initiative to hand it over.

"Comrade Gu Mingjing has great self-awareness!" Jianshu praised him highly. "Keep it up!"

Gu Mingjing shook his head and laughed.

After a short lunch break at noon, Gu Mingjing went to work, while Jianshu took his daughter out to order milk.

In the past, little Gu Yiyi mostly drank powdered milk. But when she moved to Beijing, she saw that the compound had milk orders, and almost every family with children in the area had it. Jianshu was worried that the child would feel wronged if she didn't have any, so she ordered some for her too.

Anyway, it’s not expensive and drinking milk is good for your health.

We soon arrived at the milk station, and Jianshu directly ordered three bottles of milk every day, one bottle for each of the three members of the family, so that no one would be left out.

In the evening, after finishing their work, the couple lay on the bed and chatted.

"Are you used to school? How are your roommates and classmates? Are they easy to get along with?" Gu Mingjing asked his wife with concern while hugging her.

Jian Shu lazily lay in his arms, her forehead wet with sweat. "It's pretty good. I'm lucky. Although the roommates I met are not from the same department, they are all very good people. They all know their place and it's easy to get along with them."

She was truly grateful for this. Apart from anything else, the other girls' dormitory in her class wasn't exactly peaceful. While there weren't any major conflicts, there were always minor frictions and arguments, often resulting in arguments and cliques formed over trivial matters.

Anyway, it's pretty bad.

"That's not bad. If you are not happy living in the dormitory, just move out and buy a house near the school. Our family can afford it." Gu Mingjing said.

Jian Shu laughed, "Why do you talk like dad? But forget about moving out. It's so late every day when I leave the library. It's more convenient to live in the dormitory."

She also couldn't bear to leave her roommates. College life would feel incomplete without the experience of living on campus.

Seeing that she liked it, Gu Mingjing said nothing more. He just hugged her quietly and enjoyed the time they spent alone.
