Facing so many people teasing her, Shen Man's face flushed slightly, "Okay, we'll have it all by then."
…
After entering the troops.
Gu Qinglin took into consideration that Shen Man had been on the train for too long and should need to rest, so he took her to the guesthouse first.
This guesthouse is specially designed for family members who come to visit but have no place to stay.
For convenience, it was repaired inside the troops.
Along the way, Gu Qinglin carried the luggage while introducing the surrounding situation to Shen Man.
"Look, that's the army's cafeteria. You'll go there to get your meals from now on. And that's the army's school..."
Shen Man followed Gu Qinglin and listened to him introduce everything around her, with a hint of curiosity in her eyes.
"Your military facilities are quite complete, with almost everything available."
Just now, as she watched the car driving further and further away, she thought the conditions in this place must be very harsh, but now it seems, it's not so bad.
Gu Qinglin chuckled. "The army has basically all the facilities it should have. Although the conditions are not as good as those outside, they are not much worse."
"There are supply and marketing cooperatives, but they are relatively small and the items in them are not complete. If you need to buy something, you have to go out to the town to buy it."
"Because the location of the troop is quite remote, every weekend, the troop has a special car for family members to go out and buy supplies, so it is quite convenient to travel."
"Okay, tomorrow is the weekend, and I have nothing to do. Do you want to go to the town to get familiar with it?"
Shen Man thought about it and said, "Then let's go and take a look."
Although she brought a lot of things this time, most of them were clothes and important things, some of which had to be bought here.
Suddenly, at this moment, several people came forward.
"Hey, look, who is that? You must be seeing right, there is a woman next to Gu Qinglin. Let's go and take a look."
When they came over, they saw Shen Man standing next to Gu Qinglin, and they couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
Their eyes flickered around the two of them, and then they gave Gu Qinglin a look.
"Qinglin, this is your sister-in-law, why don't you introduce her to us brothers?"
Gu Qinglin smiled and introduced her to the others, "This is my daughter-in-law. The marriage notice has just come down. The wedding will be held in two days. Remember to come and attend."
Then, he introduced Shen Man, "These are some of my comrades. You can call them Brother An, Brother Liu, and Brother Wang."
Shen Man called everyone one by one, her manner was polite and graceful, and every move was appropriate and generous.
An Ming gave Gu Qinglin a look and joked, "Yes, my sister-in-law is not only beautiful, but also has a good temperament. Qinglin, you are so lucky."
No wonder the female soldiers from the art troupe pursued him, he was not moved at all, and was cold and indifferent, as if they were air.
It turns out that I found a better one.
Look at her figure, temperament, and face, no one in the art troupe can compare to her.
Gu Qinglin couldn't help but look at Shen Man, "Yes, your luck is indeed good."
Shen Man pursed her lips and smiled shyly, avoiding the man's gaze somewhat unnaturally.
From the moment I joined the army, I met many people calling me sister-in-law or brother-in-law.
She thought she was thick-skinned enough, but she still felt a little unnatural when facing the men's repeated gazes.
Gu Qinglin noticed her mood, sent her comrades away, took her to the guesthouse, and put her luggage in her room.
"Go back to your room and rest for a while. I'll go get you some food."
Shen Man nodded, "Okay, go ahead."
It was noon, or even lunch time, and she was indeed hungry.
The food she bought on the train these days was not only expensive, but also tasted very ordinary. She didn't like the taste, so she only ate a few bites each time and then stopped.
Gu Qinglin's eyebrows were soft and his eyes were gentle. "Do you want to eat anything?"
"The meat dishes in the cafeteria are all very good. You can try the braised lion's head and the fish-flavored shredded pork."
Shen Man thought for a while, "Then let's have a portion of braised lion's head, some rice, and another portion of stir-fried vegetables."
"Okay, you take a rest first. After dinner, I'll take you around."
After Gu Qinglin left, Shen Man lay directly on the bed, closed her eyes and slept for a while.
No one knew that she was actually very tired from sitting in the sleeper berth on the train. She always felt uncomfortable even when lying down, and she couldn't fall asleep. For five consecutive days, she hardly had a good rest.
Now that I'm at the guesthouse, I can finally relax and take a break.
Not long after.
When Gu Qinglin came back, Shen Man was still asleep.
He knocked on the door several times, but no one answered. Thinking something had happened, he quickly called the staff of the guesthouse to open the door.
When he saw Shen Man getting up from the bed in a daze, he breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, nothing happened.
However, when he saw Shen Man's slightly flushed face from sleeping, he immediately guessed that she had not had a good rest these days.
Gu Qinglin raised his hand and rubbed her head. "Get up and eat something first, then go back to sleep."
"I'll give you an extra portion of fried pork. I think you'll like it."
Shen Man's eyes suddenly lit up, "Gu Qinglin, you are so kind."
Fried pork with mustard greens is her favorite dish, but the flavor isn't the same as most people's, so she usually doesn't order this dish when she goes out.
Of all the fried pork she had eaten so far, only the one made by Gu Qinglin and her mother was the best.
Gu Qinglin also knew this about her. Since he said so, the fried pork in the cafeteria must be good.
"Today, Chef Guo from the cafeteria is cooking. His cooking skills are much better than yours, especially the fried pork, which is absolutely amazing. Try it first and see if you like it."
"If you like it, I'll make you another one tomorrow."
Hearing what he said, Shen Man became interested and couldn't help but open the lunch box containing the fried meat.
The noodles were instantly filled with the aroma of meat, which was fragrant, mixed with the aroma of chili peppers and garlic...the combination of these flavors made people drool.
Shen Man picked up a piece of fried meat, put it in her mouth and started eating, her eyes shining, "It's delicious, Master Guo's cooking skills are really good."
Gu Qinglin poured a cup of warm water and placed it in front of Shen Man. "Master Guo is truly a top chef. I heard that his family used to be the heir of the imperial chef. He can cook a lot of dishes and his cooking skills are extraordinary."
"If you like this fried pork, go ask Master Guo for advice someday and I'll make it for you at home."
Shen Man blinked, "Okay, from now on when you go home, the kitchen will be handed over to you."
This person had said before that as long as he was home, all the housework would be his responsibility.
