Chapter 104 Slap in the face
"Yes, I learned a little. When I was in the countryside, I didn't want to do any work, so I cooked for them at home." Zhou Manman said vaguely.
She decided to make braised pork and steamed sea bass herself.
Watching her skillfully prepare those dishes, Sun Jiali actually felt an unspeakable pain deep in her heart.
"Manman, you really suffered a lot in the countryside," she sighed.
No wonder, after Zhou Manman returned to Beijing, she seemed to have changed a lot.
"People always have to grow up, mom. If you don't suffer now, you will have to suffer later. I don't want that."
Sun Jiali listened to Zhou Manman's words. She couldn't help but smile and touched her head: "Our Manman has really grown up."
When she saw Zhou Manman making these two dishes and the aroma filling the air, her eyes couldn't help but widen.
It smells so good! It smells so good!
"How come you're so good at cooking?"
"Maybe this is my talent." Zhou Manman said with a smile, "Before when I was not moving, I didn't feel anything, but now that I'm moving, I suddenly realize that I'm quite smart. You see, cooking is no problem at all."
Sun Jiali smiled and said, "Child, you still need to be more humble."
"I don't need it. I'm fine now." Zhou Manman said, "Since I have the ability, I don't think there is any need to be humble."
Zhou Manman felt that her neither humble nor arrogant attitude was the best.
She was neither too proud nor too self-abased. After finishing, she glanced at the time and remembered that Gu Linchuan had told her that he would come at lunch time, so Zhou Manman took off her apron and went downstairs to find Gu Linchuan.
At this time, Gu Linchuan came to the compound.
When he got off the car, he was holding a lot of things in his hands.
It is noon now and people are coming and going in the courtyard.
Even though Gu Linchuan was not wearing a military uniform, his aura and the license plate number of the black jeep had already revealed everything.
Many people's eyes fell on Gu Linchuan.
Gu Linchuan looked at the house number and decided to go to the building where Zhou Manman lived.
At this time, a woman came forward, waving a palm leaf fan in her hand, and looked Gu Linchuan up and down: "Comrade, are you here to look for someone in the compound?"
The woman in front of me is Xu Hong.
Her eyes had already taken a thorough look at Gu Linchuan.
Not to mention the cigarettes and alcohol in Gu Linchuan's hands, these are all good stuff!
She had seen those in state-owned stores, which were all behind glass windows and well protected.
This is not something that ordinary people like them can use.
This soldier is so young, handsome and rich.
She thought it would be nice if she could introduce her daughter to him.
"Excuse me, do you know which way Zhou Minsheng's house is?" Gu Linchuan asked.
"You're looking for him? What for? Young man, I've never seen you before." Xu Hong stared at Gu Linchuan with a smile.
Zhou Minsheng knew that he had a nephew who was a military doctor, but he was not very clear about how he had a relative who was a soldier?
Just as Gu Linchuan was about to speak, he saw Zhou Manman coming down from upstairs.
His eyes lit up.
The girl was wearing a light yellow plaid skirt today, with a waist-hugging style and the hem reaching her calf.
But it can outline her figure.
Gu Linchuan suddenly discovered that after Zhou Manman returned to the capital, she had a lot more clothes, and every time he saw her, she was wearing a different skirt.
Thinking back to when she was in the Baishi Brigade, she always wore pants.
Gu Linchuan knew that he had wronged Zhou Manman.
Manman suffered a lot following him.
"You're here!" Zhou Manman saw Gu Linchuan and walked forward with a smile.
She didn't know why, but every time she saw Gu Linchuan, she was very happy, as if they had been separated for a long time.
Obviously, they hadn't seen each other for just two days.
However, after seeing Xu Hong, Zhou Manman couldn't help but frown.
It’s her!
What is this annoying woman talking to Gu Linchuan?
When Xu Hong saw Zhou Manman, she thought that this man was also looking for the Zhou family, so she laughed: "Hey, Manman, which brother is this? Can I get to know him too?"
Zhou Manman saw what Xu Hong was thinking. She walked to Gu Linchuan, stretched out her hand, and held Gu Linchuan's arm: "It's my lover, auntie, this is the disabled rough man from the countryside that you have been promoting all over the compound."
Hearing this, Gu Linchuan looked at Xu Hong with a somewhat cold look in his eyes.
Just this bit of cold light was enough to make Xu Hong feel a little overwhelmed.
Seeing that gloomy look, Xu Hong felt very bitter in her heart.
Oh, if she had known it would be like this, she shouldn't have said that to him.
"Your husband is a warehouse manager at a meat processing plant. Do you know the consequences of insulting a soldier's wife? Aren't you afraid of implicating your husband?"
"Oh, I didn't mean it!" Xu Hong immediately became anxious, "No... girl, I heard it from your aunt that day. I have a good relationship with her, so I believed everything she said. So, I regret it now."
Xu Hong no longer had the arrogance she had that day and almost knelt down to Zhou Manman.
At this time, many people cast gossipy glances at them.
He looked at the man next to Zhou Manman with even more curiosity.
Seeing Zhou Manman holding the man's hand so intimately, they knew that this was probably Zhou Manman's husband.
The man had a handsome face, a vigorous figure, and was so tall and strong. How could he be as terrible as Zhou Meijuan and Xu Hong had described him to be?
At this time, when they heard that Zhou Manman was going to deal with Xu Hong, they just thought that Xu Hong was asking for trouble.
If she had been more forgiving at the beginning, she wouldn't have ended up like this.
Zhou Manman ignored Xu Hong and pulled Gu Linchuan towards her home.
She didn't have time to waste her time chatting with Xu Hong about these trivial things.
Anyway, she will let Gu Linchuan teach her a lesson.
"Why did you bring so many things?" Zhou Manman looked at the gifts in Gu Linchuan's hand. There were five or six items in total, filling up the gift box.
"Too many! No one in our family smokes or drinks."
"It's okay, you can ask your dad to give it to others." Gu Linchuan said with a smile, "Because if he doesn't give these away, I don't know what else he can give."
At this point, Gu Linchuan turned his head and glanced at Xu Hong behind him: "She bullied you."
After hearing what Zhou Manman said just now, one can imagine what kind of injustice Zhou Manman had suffered here.
He knew that many women in the compound liked to gossip when they had nothing to do after eating.
And yet he never showed up, and such terrible rumors were spread about him.
Thinking of this, Gu Linchuan's face turned a little colder.
