Chapter 38 Married a Darling
My ex-wife was also very beautiful, but she always had a sense of timidity and lack of confidence.
And now she is like a baptized night pearl, shining with moving luster.
On the oval face, there are a pair of eyes as clear and bright as autumn water, and red lips as fresh as flower petals.
She has a high nose bridge, long hair that falls to her shoulders, and she appears gentle and charming in every move.
Gu Zheng now finally understood what the temperament of "a secluded orchid in a valley" described in the book meant.
Seeing her son staring at his daughter-in-law, Gu's mother smiled and joked.
"That's your wife. She can't run away. You can look at her when you get home tonight. Now go into the house and have a good rest and eat something."
Gu Zheng didn't think there was anything wrong with it. He thought it was natural for him to treat his wife well.
But Lin Yunxi was shy and had never been in love before. When she heard what her mother-in-law said, her cheeks turned red with embarrassment.
She raised her eyebrows and glared at him. Her eyes were sparkling but not at all lethal. It seemed more like she was acting coquettishly.
Gu Zheng then reluctantly looked away. If he continued to look, his wife would probably get angry.
After entering the house and sitting down, Gu Zheng put down his luggage and sat at the dining table.
The warm house, the warm yellow candlelight, and the fragrant food, Gu Zheng suddenly realized that he missed home more than he thought.
"Xiao Zheng, try the braised pork made by Yunxi. It tastes very authentic."
Gu's mother was worried that her son must be hungry after sitting in the car for such a long time, so she put a piece of meat in his bowl.
Father Gu preferred the Sichuan-style steamed pork with rice flour. He recommended it, "We have similar tastes. You will definitely like the steamed pork with rice flour made by Yunxi."
When Gu Zheng heard that it was his wife who made it, he instantly became even hungrier.
Out of the big bag of food his wife sent him last time, he got two bottles of beef sauce and a duck in sauce.
After tasting the food, he wanted to slap himself, hating himself for talking so casually about sharing the food.
As for Commander Zhou, he came over that afternoon and asked in a roundabout way if we had any beef sauce and roast chicken.
Fortunately, Gu Zheng was more vigilant, otherwise he might not have been able to keep even the last bit of beef sauce.
Gu Zheng had been on the train for two days and one night, and was already starving.
He picked up the braised pork, took a bite, and was immediately happy.
Wow, it’s even more authentic than what he had at the Kyoto Hotel when he was on a mission.
I'm afraid there are few people in the country who can match this skill. He really married a treasure.
Yanyan sat obediently in her mother's arms, chewing on pork ribs, staring at the "stranger" sitting opposite her with some curiosity.
Although the father and son had never met, Gu Zheng noticed his beloved son when he was in the yard.
The little guy is fair, tender and chubby, with delicate and cute features. He looks 70% like him, and his big round eyes are particularly bright.
Gu Zheng's throat was a little dry. He opened his arms towards Yanyan and said softly, "Son, let daddy hug you."
Facing the hail of bullets, Gu Zheng could remain calm without even blinking, but at the moment he reached out his hand, he felt unusually nervous.
Yanyan is wary of people he doesn't know. Seeing this, he turned his head and hugged his mother's neck tightly, fearing that he would be taken away.
Lin Yunxi hugged his son with one hand and comforted him with the other: "Don't be afraid, baby, this is daddy."
Although Yanyan had never seen his father since he was a child, Lin Yunxi and Gu's mother often mentioned him to him.
So in his little heart, his father is always there and is still the great hero who defends his country.
In the end, curiosity overcame fear, and Yanyan leaned towards her father.
Gu Zheng quickly picked up his son and placed him on his knees, gently wrapping his arms around him, fearing that he might hurt his son accidentally.
"Dad, who is more powerful between you and the Monkey King?"
Yanyan sat on her father's lap and asked in a baby voice.
This question made Gu Zheng a little confused, and he looked at his wife.
Lin Yunxi explained with some amusement: "The Great Sage Yanyan is talking about is the Great Sage Equaling Heaven, Sun Wukong."
Gu Zheng nodded in understanding, but he was quickly thinking of a suitable answer in his mind. He must not let his son look down on him.
After a moment, he replied: "Dad has never competed with the Monkey King, so I don't know who is more powerful."
"The Monkey King can use the Somersault Cloud and perform 72 transformations, but Dad can't. But Dad can use a gun and drive a tank, but the Monkey King can't."
"Wow." Yanyan cutely covered her mouth with her little hands, which means that daddy is as powerful as the Monkey King!
Everyone at the table, including Lin Yunxi, watched this scene with a smile on their faces, without exposing someone's lack of martial ethics or switching concepts.
Yanyan is not afraid of this father who suddenly appears at all. On the contrary, she is full of admiration for him.
Tomorrow he will show off to his friends that he has a father as powerful as the Monkey King.
Afterwards, Yanyan unceremoniously directed his father to help him pick up vegetables and peel shrimps, and Gu Zheng also enjoyed it.
The family finished the reunion dinner in a lively atmosphere and finally came to the part that the children loved most - giving blessings and receiving New Year's money.
From oldest to youngest, the first is Da Ni from Brother Gu’s family.
"I wish my grandparents, my second uncle and aunt, and my younger uncle and aunt good health, good luck, and a smile on their faces."
Next came Gu Erni, Gu Jiahao, Gu Sanni and Gu Jiajie, and each child spoke words of blessing to their elders.
Yanyan is the youngest and is the last one in line.
He walked with his short legs, knelt in front of his grandparents and other elders, and said the blessings his mother had taught him in advance.
"I wish my grandparents good fortune and longevity, I wish my uncle and aunt good luck, wealth and health, I wish my younger uncle and aunt success in everything and great fortune."
"Good, they are all good children." Mr. and Mrs. Gu were so happy that they couldn't stop smiling. They took out a stack of red envelopes and gave them to each child.
Zhou Chunfen, Lin Yunxi and Liu Qiaoqiao's families also prepared red envelopes.
Tonight, each child received four red envelopes and jumped around the house excitedly, even though the red envelopes would only stay in their hands for one night at most.
Children can’t keep up all night, and soon Yanyan became sleepy, nodding her little head.
After Lin Yunxi coaxed her son to sleep, she wrapped him tightly in a cotton blanket and said goodbye to her parents-in-law.
"Let me do it." Gu Zheng took his son in his arms with tact.
Although the child is still small, he weighs about twenty-five or twenty-six kilograms.
Given his wife's physique, it was not easy to carry her all the way back.
Along the way, both of them were silent.
In the end, it was Gu Zheng who spoke first: "I have neglected my duty in the past two years. Thank you for taking such good care of the family."
He also saw at the dinner table that his parents had rosy complexions and looked energetic, and were in better spirits than the last time he came back.
Yanyan was also raised very well, she is innocent, well-behaved and sensible.
On the contrary, he himself has not fulfilled his responsibilities as a son and a father in the past two years.
