Chapter 83: A Lifetime of Love
She closed the courtyard door and went into the space to select ingredients.
Two pounds of chicken feet, three pounds of chicken wings, three large pig's trotters, three pounds of pork chops and two pounds of pig intestines.
Finally, Lin Yunxi waved his hand and caught another three pounds of prawns from the river before leaving the space.
Gu Zheng has been going out early and coming back late every day recently. He is even busier than her, the new factory manager. His body, which he had worked so hard to maintain, has become thinner again.
Lin Yunxi thought about it, then took out a cleaned black chicken and planned to use the spiritual spring water to make a Codonopsis and black chicken soup, which would be just right for both of them to replenish their bodies.
In addition, she planned to make more dry pot and send it to Uncle Zhou, Aunt Zhou and Sister-in-law Hongmei's homes later.
These days, the couple are very busy and have to trouble others to help look after Yanyan from time to time.
On the way back from delivering the dry pot to Aunt Zhou's house, Lin Yunxi happened to see Gu Zheng and Zhou Guoan coming towards her.
As soon as Zhou Guoan saw the empty bowl in her hand and the light blue dress in her hand, he knew that she had returned from home, and the smile in his eyes could not be controlled.
"Yunxi, what delicious food did you make tonight?"
Lin Yunxi smiled and said, "The spicy dry pot is full of dry goods. It's spicy and fresh. The more you eat it, the better it tastes."
Just listening to her description and the red oil still remaining around the bowl, Zhou Guoan's mouth began to drool wildly.
He tried hard to maintain his appearance and spoke seriously.
"Xiao Zheng, since Yunxi is here to pick you up, you two can go back together. There's no need to send an old man like me off."
Gu Zheng clenched his fist, put it to his mouth and chuckled, but did not expose him.
"Okay, okay, then I'll go back with my wife."
As he spoke, he took Lin Yunxi's hand and the couple slowly walked home.
Gu Zheng has been so busy these days that he has to live in the army and has not come back for dinner for two consecutive days.
After eating boiled dishes made in the army canteen for two days, he really missed his wife's cooking skills.
As soon as he sat down, Gu Zheng couldn't wait to pick up a piece of pig's trotter and started eating it with relish.
Only after he had satisfied his craving did he put down his chopsticks and said mysteriously, "Wife, I have good news. Do you want to hear it?"
Lin Yunxi had already guessed what it was, but she didn't say it directly.
Instead, he pretended to be expectant and said, "I really want to hear it."
Gu Zheng took out a letter of appointment as deputy regiment commander from his pocket, handed it over, then stood up and saluted with a standard military salute.
"Wife, I am now officially promoted to deputy head of the group. From now on, you will be my head of the group's wife."
"I swear in the name of the military that I will spend my whole life proving that I love you."
Caught off guard by the man's sincere confession, Lin Yunxi was so moved that her eyes turned red, and she said softly.
"Before I met you, I always thought being single was great. But after falling in love with you, I pray every day that lovers will eventually get married."
"I have no other wishes in this life, except to be with someone for the rest of my life, to share three meals a day, four seasons a year, and sunsets together, to watch the tides rise and fall, and to enjoy all the scenery of the world."
After dinner, the couple locked the gate and walked leisurely towards the beach.
On the way home, Gu Zheng already knew that his son was going to the beach for a barbecue tonight.
"You, just let them do whatever they want. You've been running back and forth between the city and the military district these days, you must be exhausted."
Lin Yunxi shook her head and said softly, "Yanyan is my most precious treasure. As long as it is not something that is wrong with my values, I am willing to let him try it himself."
Gu Zheng only heard the first half of the sentence, and he felt a little uncomfortable.
"Your son is your most precious treasure, so what am I, your husband?"
Lin Yunxi blinked mischievously and said mischievously: "Of course you are my most cherished husband."
"That's fine." Gu Zheng accepted the title reluctantly, as long as it was the one he cherished the most.
In the sea breeze and under the shade of trees, the handsome men and beautiful women form a beautiful landscape.
On the way here, Lin Yunxi was still worried that there wouldn't be many children coming tonight.
But it turned out that she was overthinking it. At a glance, there were already twenty or thirty children gathered on the beach not far from the military area.
Zhou Ziang and Da Zhuang were also among them, assigning tasks to their friends in an orderly manner.
These parents did not agree with the beach barbecue plan at first, but when they heard that Yanyan from Director Lin's family would also come, they immediately agreed.
There were also worried parents who stood by with their bowls of rice in hand, eating and chatting.
Seeing Lin Yunxi and his wife coming over, they all greeted them warmly.
"Director Lin and Captain Gu are here too."
"Yes, the children are at the beach, and we are worried, so we came to check on them."
"Who says it's not? It's all for the safety of the children."
The two of them greeted each other one by one without any airs.
Lin Yunxi handed over the two large skewers of meat, two sauces and cumin powder that he had brought to Zhou Ziang and Dazhuang.
I watched them bake the bread like I did that night, and then I walked away with peace of mind, letting the children do it on their own.
Maybe there was not enough time on the barbecue grill, so several parents nearby spontaneously helped to light a few fires and grill the skewers.
The children were eating while playing. Yanyan stayed by the barbecue grill, queued up, took two skewers of meat and ran over.
"Dad, Mom, eat."
Lin Yunxi took it, took a bite, and praised it.
"Thank you, baby. Our baby always smells good when he takes something."
Yanyan grinned happily, then he turned his gaze to his father with questioning eyes.
Gu Zheng wanted to tell boys not to act like a spoiled child, but when he saw his son's innocent smile, he swallowed the words back.
Just as his wife said, times are changing and the way to educate children also needs to change.
The repressive education they had when they were young is no longer suitable for today's children.
"It's delicious. Thank you, son. Mom and Dad have already eaten. You can go and eat by yourself." Gu Zheng praised in a gentle voice.
"good."
After Yanyan's action, the children behind her followed suit and gave the skewers in their hands to their parents who were watching nearby.
These parents followed Lin Yunxi's example, took the skewers handed over by their children, and gave a few awkward compliments.
The children were very happy to hear the praise, and seeing the smiles on their faces made the parents happy too.
It has to be said that Director Lin knows how to raise children. This is what most of the parents present thought.
As night fell, the children, after having eaten and drunk their fill, played for a while.
Most of them couldn't hold on any longer and fell asleep on their father's back or in their mother's arms, rubbing their eyes.
Yanyan was no exception. Two hours had passed since his usual sleeping time, and he was now snoring in his mother's arms.
