I was busy trying to find supplies for myself. "It's going to snow up soon, so we'll have less supplies. I thought I'd buy more. Besides, it's winter now, so things last longer. And my brother Xi and I just got here, so we're short of a lot of things."
Zhang Shuwan and Yu Saozi nodded. The snow was coming, so they should prepare more. They also bought more than usual.
Besides, since I'm new here, the house does need some new things.
"What are those bags of yours? They smell like medicinal herbs."
"Mrs. Yu has a very good sense of smell. These are herbs. I plan to buy some and make some ointments and pills." As for what he was going to make, Gu Jianing didn't say anything for the time being because he hadn't made it yet.
"What? You also know how to make ointments and pills. You know how to treat it?"
Gu Jianing nodded.
"You are really amazing then."
The three of them were talking as they headed towards the military area. Along the way, Gu Jianing's car full of stuff attracted a lot of attention and caused a lot of discussion.
Mrs. Yu didn't separate from them until she returned home.
Because Yu's wife lived in the tube-shaped building in the family compound.
"...I'll help with the warming of the house tomorrow."
"Okay, I'll trouble you and Sister Shu Wan then."
Mrs. Yu knew that Gu Jianing would be warming the house tomorrow and that Gu Jianing couldn't cook, so she asked Zhang Shuwan for help and volunteered to help.
Gu Jianing also readily agreed. With one more person, Sister Shu Wan would feel more relaxed.
Outsiders were not allowed to enter the military area at will, so the man pushing the cart couldn't get in. Finally, a soldier under Sheng Zexi saw what was happening and volunteered to help, pushing the cart into Gu Jianing's house.
Before he left, Gu Jianing stuffed him with two large meat buns that he had just bought at the market.
The soldier refused to take it, but Gu Jianing forced it upon him, and finally he could not refuse and had to accept it.
"Sister-in-law, if you need any help in the future, please call me. My name is Xie Ze. I just joined the army this year and was assigned to the army under Captain Sheng."
"Okay, thanks, I'll remember that."
Sixteen-year-old Xie Ze was walking back home holding a big meat bun. He took a big bite of the warm bun. The aroma of the meat filled his taste buds as soon as he bit into it.
Xie Ze had forgotten how long it had been since he had eaten meat. His father died, his mother remarried, and he was adopted by his uncle and aunt, but they did not treat him well. Several times, Xie Ze almost died of starvation or illness.
Fortunately, he was lucky enough to meet his father’s former comrade-in-arms again this year, who kindly helped him and allowed him to join the army.
He happened to be assigned to Sheng Zexi's camp.
Xie Ze admired the powerful and willful Sheng Zexi and took him as his role model.
Although Captain Sheng might not remember him as a soldier, it was okay. He would try his best to walk up to Captain Sheng step by step.
He knew about Captain Sheng's marriage.
Two days ago, I heard that Captain Sheng was tricked into marrying an ugly country girl. Everyone else was very angry, but Xie Ze saw Captain Sheng helping his lover get out of the car that day, and the tenderness in his eyes was full of love no matter how you looked at it.
Therefore, he did not believe what people outside spread. He knew from a young age that what people outside spread was not trustworthy.
Just like the rumors out there say that his uncle and aunt are very good to him, but only he knows the truth.
But today, the topic changed again. Captain Sheng’s lover was not an ugly woman, but a very beautiful lady.
Xie Ze thought, she was not only a great beauty, but also a very good person, otherwise why would his sister-in-law give him two big meat buns when he was just helping to push the cart?
After arriving at the military camp, Xie Ze was finally able to eat about 80% full. However, in the Northwest where supplies were scarce, he was a small soldier and rarely had the chance to eat meat. Now, eating this big meat bun filled with meat, Xie Ze had an extremely good impression of Gu Jianing.
So when he heard people outside talking about Captain Sheng's lover buying a truckload of stuff and mocking Captain Sheng for marrying a spendthrift woman.
Xie Ze immediately retorted, "He has money and tickets, and he's new here. The mountain will be closed due to heavy snow soon. What's wrong with him preparing some extra things? He didn't take anything from you. If you're so upset, go and tell Captain Sheng. Don't just be a mean person who talks behind his back."
The man was so frightened that he choked immediately and could only leave angrily.
At noon, Sheng Zexi finished training and came back after having lunch. On the way, he heard the rumor that his wife had bought a cart of things.
Don't mention it, they really did talk about him.
"Captain Sheng, is your wife too good at spending money? This is not good, she is too wasteful. If this happened in my family, I would not marry such a daughter-in-law."
The person who was speaking was Captain Shen's mother, Aunt Shen. She had always relied on Captain Shen's status, as well as her age and high seniority, and in this military camp family camp, she always liked to look down on others and reprimand them. She had always been proud that her daughter-in-law, Captain Shen's wife, was completely tamed by her.
Sheng Zexi frowned, turned around, and looked at her sullenly, "Aunt Shen, I can make money, and I have money and notes. My wife can spend it however she wants. When it's all gone, I'll go make more."
Aunt Shen was immediately displeased when she was refuted. Normally, others would agree with her, but now Sheng Zexi dared to refute her. She immediately said, "Sheng family boy, you can't say that. If you really want to say that, then no matter how much money you earn, it won't be enough for her to spend."
Sheng Zexi sneered, "That only shows that men are incompetent."
"you!"
"Aunt Shen, do you live by the sea?"
Um?
"Why are you so nosy? My wife and I don't eat your rice, so you don't need to worry about my family's affairs."
"Also, when you get old, you should be more careful with your mouth and stop saying bad things about others. This can also be considered as doing good deeds for your children and grandchildren."
After saying this, Sheng Zexi left.
Aunt Shen was left alone there, extremely angry, but the people around her felt very happy when they saw it.
Due to their status as head of the group, they dared not to bother the old woman.
So, finally someone was able to comfort this old woman, and everyone celebrated.
Captain Sheng is such a good man.
Aunt Shen was so angry that she went home and directly reported her son, Captain Shen. Her words implied that Sheng Zexi did not respect her, and she wanted Captain Shen to make things difficult for Sheng Zexi and teach him a lesson.
After hearing this, Captain Shen was really overwhelmed.
"Oh my god, Sheng Zexi is a troublemaker. Even his father, the commander, can't do anything to him. Your son is just a regiment commander with a higher rank than him."
Moreover, Sheng Zexi is not under his control. I really don't know where his mother got the confidence to think that he can make things difficult for Sheng Zexi.
Besides, he was already in his forties when he took the position of group leader. If Sheng Zexi had not been suppressed by his father, he would have been on equal footing with him long ago.
Sheng Zexi has a bright future, but he has already seen the end of the road ahead.
He must be crazy to go against Sheng Zexi.
Finally, Captain Shen left, and Mother Shen was so angry that she couldn't eat.
