When Gu Shen returned home, he found no one there.
He thought Xia Anyan had gone to Sun Xiuzhi's house next door, and was just about to go over to look for her when he saw Sun Xiuzhi come out of the house.
After asking, I learned that Xia Anyan had gone to the nearby brigade to buy dried vegetables with Wang Chunlan and Li Cuihua.
"Commander Gu, you can't grow a lot of vegetables on your private plot. My family will definitely have a lot of dried vegetables this year, and I'll share some with you later."
"By the way, you can also tell the girl that if she buys fresh vegetables, I can help her dry them."
"You know my skills. Every year, I handle all the dried vegetables in my house by myself, so there's definitely no problem."
Gu Shen knew that Sun Xiuzhi wanted to thank them, which was why she did this.
He wanted to refuse, but Sun Xiuzhi had already spoken, and if he refused, it would seem as if he was disgusted.
Xia Anyan had previously said she wanted to give the two children some gifts, but was worried that Sun Xiuzhi would not accept them.
If Sun Xiuzhi can really help dry the vegetables, Xia Anyan can take this opportunity to prepare more things for the two children.
Having figured this out, Gu Shen smiled and nodded at Sun Xiuzhi: "Sister-in-law, thank you."
“My wife should be back soon, and then I’ll tell her. However, my wife doesn’t know much about things here, so if needed, I’ll need to trouble you to show her around and help her understand.”
Sun Xiuzhi patted her chest and assured him.
She would definitely do it, even if Gu Shen didn't say so.
Xia Anyan has helped their family so much; even the fact that the two children accepted them so quickly is largely thanks to her.
Xia Anyan is such a good person. I've always liked Sun Xiuzhi, and now I like her even more.
After they finished talking, Gu Shen went back to his room and tidied up briefly.
He's fine now; he just needs to do some simple training and then he can go home.
After all, they just finished a mission, so they definitely need to rest.
During this time, he can stay at home and do what he can to help his wife.
So when Xia Anyan returned, she found the house spotless, everything neatly arranged, and even the kitchen sparkling clean.
"Ah Shen, did you make all of this?" Xia Anyan stood at the kitchen door, holding a large bag, her mouth agape, somewhat incredulous.
Gu Shen was tidying up the cupboard when he heard Xia Anyan's noise. He turned around and met his wife's adorable, bewildered expression.
He couldn't help but find it a little funny: "Well, I live alone at home. If I didn't clean up, who else could have cleaned it?"
Xia Anyan smiled, still feeling a little embarrassed.
When Gu Shen saw what she was carrying, he quickly stepped forward and asked, "Why are you carrying so much? Why didn't you call me?"
He put the things on top of the kitchen cabinet, intending to go out and help carry them.
Then, Li Cuihua and Wang Chunlan were seen at the door.
Both of them felt a little embarrassed.
They didn't really want to disturb the young couple's affection, but their things were quite heavy, so they wanted to quickly unload them and then do other things.
Who would have thought...
"Sister-in-law Li, Sister-in-law Wang." Gu Shen reacted quickly, nodding to the two women as a greeting.
"Commander Gu is home. We came over this morning and didn't see you. We thought you were at training again."
"Yes, yes, we were originally planning to ask Commander Gu to come and check out the nearby brigades as well, but we didn't see anyone, so we just took Xia Meizi with us."
Both of them were actually a little intimidated, because Commander Gu's expression was too cold, making them afraid to approach him.
If Gu Shen had actually been home in the morning, they probably wouldn't have dared to drag Xia Anyan out to buy groceries.
Xia Anyan knew that the two of them must have been frightened by Gu Shen. She ran a few steps quickly to Wang Chunlan and Li Cuihua's side, then turned around and glared at Gu Shen.
Gu Shen also felt very innocent. He hadn't done anything wrong, yet he was being treated like this by his wife.
"Commander Gu, what are you standing there for? Hurry up and come and move the things. Are you going to let your two wives carry them like this forever?" Xia Anyan saw that he was standing there without moving, so she deliberately called him Commander Gu.
Gu Shen felt as if he had been hit by something.
He didn't know if his wife was angry, so he could only act quickly.
Li Cuihua and Wang Chunlan did not expect Gu Shen to react so strongly.
It was too late when they tried to stop it.
"Commander Gu, this thing isn't actually heavy. The two of us can carry it." Li Cuihua forced a smile, not knowing what else to do, so she just said this.
Wang Chunlan didn't dare to say a single word.
Despite her usual carefree and nonchalant manner, as if she cares about nothing and is fearless, she is actually quite afraid when standing in front of her superiors.
“It’s alright, sister-in-law. This originally belonged to my family, so it’s my responsibility to take care of it.”
"Wife, you take your two sisters-in-law inside first. I'll boil some water and be right back." Gu Shen smiled faintly at Xia Anyan and the other two.
Li Cuihua and Wang Chunlan were startled by Gu Shen's smile and couldn't help but shiver.
Is it too late for them to leave?
Xia Anyan rolled her eyes, but when she looked at the two women, she smiled and said, "Sister-in-law Cuihua, Sister-in-law Chunlan, please come in and sit with me. I found some things last night that I don't usually need. See if there's anything you can use and take it home."
Hearing that there was something there, the two men became bolder.
They followed Xia Anyan directly into the room, completely forgetting about Gu Shen.
Gu Shen watched the three figures leave, couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.
He really has absolutely no status at home!
However, he was happy to do it.
Why should I care about face or status in front of my wife?
Those men, one by one, boast about themselves to the heavens and the earth, saying how powerful and prestigious they are in front of their wives.
But what's the reality? They still make a huge fuss when they get home, and they don't have a good life at all.
On the other hand, although he and his wife have spent relatively little time together since they got married, the couple has always been very loving.
He also believes that no matter if they are married for one month or two months, one year or two years, or many, many years, he will remain the same and will not change.
