Once you stop forcing things, you won't feel sad anymore.
Once you let go, you also let go of the pain in your heart.
Su Ying served the children a lot of food, then turned around and saw Gu Sinian staring blankly at the dishes.
"What's wrong? The food isn't to your liking."
As soon as Wang Ma heard that Commander Gu didn't like her cooking, she immediately looked at him warily.
She can't be fired! Commander Gu's family doesn't have much to do, it's easy. Besides cooking three meals a day and cleaning, he gets such a high salary. She doesn't want to leave.
She used to work harder when her three children were younger, but now that they're older, they don't need her help with bathing anymore and can take care of themselves.
The job is easy, and I'm easy to get along with and take care of my family.
She didn't want to lose this job, so when she heard that Commander Gu didn't like today's dishes, she immediately asked.
"Commander Gu, you can tell me what kind of food you like, and I will cook a few dishes according to your taste."
Gu Sinian was pulled back to reality by Su Ying. After hearing what Wang Ma said, he gave an awkward smile.
"No, no. Your cooking is delicious, so just make it this way. As long as the kids and my wife like it, I can accommodate them."
Wang Ma chuckled upon hearing this. When she first came to the Gu family, she often heard the aunties and elders discussing how much Commander Gu doted on his wife, and today's comments proved them right.
He's willing to cater to his children's and wife's tastes as long as they're happy; that's true love, no doubt.
“Wang Ma, he likes to eat stewed beef with potatoes and stewed goose in an iron pot. If you see these two dishes in the market in the future, please buy more of them. Our family can accommodate each other’s tastes.”
Aunt Wang replied with a smile, "No problem. I'll remember that. I'll definitely buy more of these two items next time I see them."
"Thank you for your help, Aunt Zhang."
"No trouble at all."
The meal resumed at the table as usual, and Gu Sinian leaned close to Su Ying, staring intently at her.
Wang Ma, who was standing nearby, wanted to say something, and just then she saw the couple exchanging sweet glances.
She's been through it all; she knows all too well what happens between a husband and wife.
With the brigade commander's unwavering gaze, he wished he could just take care of Yingying on the spot.
"It's so good to be young."
Knowing that the couple was having an affair, she pretended not to see it and served the three children their meals.
The two older ones don't need any care, but the three younger ones do, as we're afraid they won't be able to reach the vegetables.
Su Ying glanced in their direction and saw that the children and Zhang Ma were engrossed in eating, so she didn't push Gu Sinian away.
"Why are you eating so close to me? What are you trying to do?"
"I just want to know how my wife knows I love beef stew with potatoes and braised goose in an iron pot."
"I've made you beef stew with potatoes before, although you picked at my food a few more times. How did you tell?"
"I knew you loved this dish because your eyes would sparkle every time you ate it."
"But I don't dislike other dishes, how could you tell?"
Su Ying nodded, "Sure. Anyone who truly loves you will notice your little quirks."
“I know you always accommodate me when it comes to meals, but I can accommodate you too.”
Gu Sinian truly didn't think it was important what kind of food he ate, but rather who he ate with.
“I’m not a picky eater. I eat all kinds of food, but those two dishes you mentioned are definitely my favorites.”
"But what I'm curious about is how you knew I'd never eaten braised goose in an iron pot in front of you?"
"I heard about it. I was chatting with Grandpa a while ago. It seems that you fell in love with this dish when you went to Northeast China for a mission."
"I eat it almost every day and I never get tired of it. I've never had it before. Is braised goose in an iron pot really that delicious?"
The conversation between the two reached Wang Ma's ears. "I'm from Northeast China, but I've lived in Beijing for many years and my Northeast accent is gone. My stewed goose in an iron pot is quite authentic, but geese are a relatively rare ingredient."
Where can you usually find geese?
"Right now, it's probably only available on the black market."
Su Ying's mouth was watering at the thought of cooking goose in an iron pot, and she was thinking about getting a few geese when Gu Sinian stopped her.
"Don't even think about going to the black market, understand? I'm getting a promotion recently, and I can't afford any more problems. We can play PUBG if we don't have Goose, so don't think about anything dangerous."
Su Ying thought about it and agreed. There were plenty of things to eat, so there was really no need to go on a voyage to the black market.
"I'm just thinking about it, I won't go."
"That's good. Don't think about those messy things. Eat well. You'll have the energy to eat when you're full."
Hearing the man flirting with her so seriously, Su Ying was taken aback. Was this really the same man she knew?
How can you talk about that kind of thing at the dinner table?
How embarrassing!
He buried his head in his food.
Gu Sinian pretended not to see Su Ying's shyness, and kept putting food on her plate and telling her to eat more.
Su Ying buried herself in her food, glancing at the children every now and then. Seeing that they weren't paying any attention to what was happening on their side, she lowered her head and continued eating.
After dinner, Gu Sinian locked the door from the inside, picked him up by the waist, and had Su Ying take him into the space.
Su Ying looked surprised. "Aren't you tired after traveling for so long today?"
Gu Sinian shook his head, "I'm not tired at all. What's there to be tired about? I was picked up and dropped off the whole time. I sat the whole time. It was much more comfortable than going on a mission. How could I possibly be tired?"
Su Ying looked helpless. The man wasn't tired, but she was. However, seeing the man's eager expression, she knew that she couldn't escape tonight, but she could still struggle.
