Finally, Gu Jianing put some of her cosmetics and jewelry in the drawer of the cabinet next to the kang.
Just as I finished my work, I turned around and saw Sheng Zexi coming in with a cup of steaming water.
"Drink some hot water first to warm yourself up."
Gu Jianing took it and felt warm in her hand. Thinking that Sheng Zexi was busy in the yard and still remembered to bring her hot water to warm her body, her heart also felt warm.
"Have you drunk?" Gu Jianing asked.
"Drank it." Sheng Zexi's voice came from the kitchen. Gu Jianing followed and saw him taking the lunch box.
Gu Jianing looked at his tall back and felt inexplicably at ease.
He lowered his head and took a sip of the hot water. It was sweet and warm. Gu Jianing's eyes widened, "You added honey."
"Yes." Sheng Zexi answered while rinsing the two lunch boxes and chopsticks with hot water, "I just took it from the cupboard. It was given to you by my second brother, right?"
"Um."
This honey was made by Gu Yunnan who found a beehive in the mountains and made two jars of honey.
He left one can for his wife Su Miao, and gave the other can to Gu Jianing.
In this day and age, wild honey is very precious.
And Gu Jianing just happened to like this kind of sweets very much.
"Then I'll go to the cafeteria to get food. You can go sit on the kang in the living room and drink. It should be warmer there."
"good."
Sheng Zexi walked up to Gu Jianing and hugged her before turning around and leaving with the lunch box.
Gu Jianing didn't turn around until he disappeared from her sight. She held the cup of water in both hands and sat cross-legged on the kang in the living room. She drank the sweet hot water and felt waves of warmth coming from underneath. Gu Jianing suddenly felt that such a day seemed not bad.
The family compound is not far from the canteen. On the way to the canteen, Sheng Zexi met many comrades and their families, who all greeted him.
Soon, we arrived at the cafeteria. It was already past noon, and there were not many meals left in the cafeteria, let alone any meat dishes.
"Captain Sheng, you're back."
"I'm sorry, Captain Sheng, it's late now and we don't have any good dishes. And as you know, in winter, supplies are scarce and there is not much food. We are also helpless without rice."
"It's okay." How could Sheng Zexi not know the situation and understand them.
In the end, Sheng Zexi could only take a few big steamed buns and ordered two dishes to take back. On the way back, he was thinking about what to prepare next.
Because he was thinking about something, Sheng Zexi didn't notice that many people around him looked at him strangely and whispered to him from time to time.'
Instead, a relatively good comrade-in-arms, Ji Hui, patted him on the shoulder and said earnestly, "Thank you for your hard work."
Sheng Zexi: What's the hard work?
"Although... you still have to live a good life with your wife."
Sheng Zexi: "Of course." Of course he would live a good life with Ningning.
"No more talking. I'm leaving now."
Ji Hui looked at Sheng Zexi's back as he left and sighed. He felt that Sheng Zexi didn't want to talk much about his ugly wife. But as a man, who doesn't want his wife to be beautiful and have a good figure?
Sheng Zexi had been introduced to so many beautiful girls by his superiors and comrades, but he refused them all. When he returned on vacation, he was hooked up by an ugly country girl.
This is really...
However, this is not like Sheng Zexi's character. In the past, Sheng Zexi was unruly. When he encountered a situation where he was being plotted, shouldn't he fight back to death? Why did he actually give in?
I can’t figure it out. I really can’t figure it out.
Sheng Zexi left the cafeteria and quickly returned to his own courtyard.
He placed the lunch box on the kang table in the living room and explained to Gu Jianing, "I went there late and only got these. I'll go to the kitchen and stir-fry some rabbit meat, okay?"
Stir-fried rabbit?!
Gu Jianing, who had been a little depressed when he saw there were only steamed buns and two dishes, suddenly perked up and said, "Okay."
As soon as he finished speaking, he hesitated and asked, "Will that be too much trouble for you?"
Sheng Zexi glanced at her and ruffled her hair. "What nonsense are you talking about? I'm your man. If you don't bother me, are you going to bother others?"
Gu Jianing: Is that what I meant?
Sheng Zexi stared at her and said seriously: "I like being troubled by you. No, to be precise, your problems are not troublesome to me."
"A man should take good care of his wife. In the future, tell me what you want to eat and I will do my best to get it for you."
"I know." Gu Jianing felt warm in his heart after hearing this.
"Then I'll go show you the fire?"
"OK."
In fact, you don’t need to look at the fire much.
This stove is connected to two kangs. When the kangs are burning, the stove will also be hot. You can put down the big pot and prepare the ingredients and then start stir-frying.
Whether it was the stove, pot, firewood, or bowls and chopsticks, Sheng Zexi asked his comrades to help purchase them in advance.
"…After we got engaged, I called my comrades." Sheng Zexi said.
"Brother Xi, you are so thoughtful and prepared for a rainy day." Gu Jianing said sweetly without hesitation.
Thanks to Sheng Zexi for having people purchase these daily necessities in advance, they can use them as soon as they arrive. Otherwise, they have to wait to buy them, which is really inconvenient.
Sheng Zexi brought out a pickled rabbit, picked up a knife, and cut the rabbit into pieces in a few seconds. He then took out onions, peppers and other ingredients to cut.
Ingredients such as onions and peppers were also brought from the Gu family, because Gu Jianing likes spicy food and is quite picky about it and does not like food without any taste.
So, I didn’t bring the dishes, but I did bring these accessories and ingredients.
There was no lard, but there was oil. When the oil was hot, Sheng Zexi poured the rabbit meat in...
"Stand away so you don't get splashed," Sheng Zexi warned.
"Okay." Gu Jianing obeyed obediently.
After a while, Sheng Zexi put in peppers, onions and other ingredients and stir-fried them again. The aroma soon filled the air.
"Brother Xi, you are amazing. I thought you were good at being a soldier, but I didn't expect you were such a good cook. This stir-fried rabbit meat smells delicious, and it must taste even better."
"How come I'm so lucky to marry such a good man? He's simply the best man in the world."
Gu Jianing's little mouth seemed to be covered with honey, and she kept praising people sweetly. When she praised, her tone of voice rose slightly, and her beautiful eyes were bright. It was obvious that she was praising sincerely.
Sheng Zexi could hardly suppress the upward curve of his lips, his eyes and brows were filled with excitement, and he felt his whole body was surging with power, and even the stir-frying movements in his hands became more powerful.
He said: "Of course your man is good. You have found a treasure, so you should treasure it well."
Gu Jianing covered her face and giggled. This man is really thick-skinned, but kind of cute.
"Okay, then from now on, whether it's cooking or washing dishes in the kitchen, you will be responsible for it?"
"That's a must!"
