When Captain Shen's wife saw her mother-in-law who was so angry that she couldn't eat, she felt very happy and her favorable impression of Sheng Zexi and his lover increased rapidly.
Finally someone can deal with this hateful old woman.
Here, after arguing with others, Sheng Zexi returned to his own home.
As soon as he came in, his wife took the food from his hand, pulled him to sit down, and pushed a bowl of mutton soup in front of him. "This is the mutton soup I bought at the market this morning. It's delicious. I packed this especially for you. Try it."
"Okay. What about you? How about we eat together?"
"No, I've already eaten a bowl. I'm not hungry now. You eat."
"good."
Gu Jianing kept the mutton soup on the stove to keep it warm when he brought it back, and it was still steaming hot.
After Sheng Zexi drank a mouthful of mutton soup, he felt warmer all over.
I picked up another piece of mutton and put it in my mouth. It was soft, tender, fresh and fragrant. It was really delicious.
While eating, I listened to my wife chattering about what happened at the market this morning.
"...You don't even know that people outside are saying that I'm ugly, so I cover myself up so well."
"Humph, I'm Gu Jianing, but I'm a beauty. Today I met two kids who called me Fairy Sister. So I didn't cover my face with a scarf when I went out today. As expected, those people were amazed by me."
When Gu Jianing talked about this, he raised his chin slightly, a little proud, like a proud Persian cat. Sheng Zexi looked at him and nodded repeatedly, "Yes, my wife must be beautiful."
"That's right. By the way, I also met Sister Yu today. She's a very nice person and will come to help tomorrow."
"I also bought some cordyceps. I didn't expect that cordyceps can be found in the Northwest. It's a good thing for nourishing the body. I bought a lot. I plan to keep some for my mother's family, and some for my grandparents..."
"By the way, I also bought a lot of herbs from the Qin siblings who sold Cordyceps. The price they gave was very affordable."
"I saw that their family conditions were not very good, but I still agreed to a long-term cooperation with them."
"I plan to make plasters for rheumatism and spinal diseases, as well as stomach-protecting pills for stomach problems when I have time. I'll give them to you when you go on a mission."
“…”
It was still snowing heavily and windy outside. The water on the stove in the house was boiling, emitting steam. Sheng Zexi was eating warm mutton, listening to his young wife sitting cross-legged with her beautiful eyes shining and her red lips chattering. Sheng Zexi's brows softened unconsciously. At this moment, he just felt that the years were peaceful and there was no better moment than this moment.

"Jianing, I'm here."
The next day came in a blink of an eye. Gu Jianing took a nap after lunch. As soon as she woke up, she heard Zhang Shuwan calling her outside.
Gu Jianing hurried out to open the door, "Sister Shu Wan, you came so early."
"I came here after I finished my work at home."
"I'm sorry to bother you and make you worry so much."
"No trouble, no trouble."
Sister Shu Wan had just arrived for a while when Sister Yu also arrived.
The time for the dinner in the warm house was scheduled for the evening. Sheng Zexi's comrades and family members calculated that they could accommodate two tables for adults and one table for children.
There is a lot of food for three tables, so we have to prepare it early.
Although Gu Jianing doesn't know how to cook, as the host, she can't just stand by and watch, so she can still help.
When it was time to wash the vegetables, the water was too cold. Fortunately, Sheng Zexi had brought a pair of gloves beforehand, which helped to isolate some of the coldness of the water.
"Sister, what dishes are you going to prepare?" asked Mrs. Yu. Why are there so many ingredients in the kitchen, including a lot of meat? Could these be the dishes that will be served today?
Gu Jianing only then realized that he had not told Mrs. Yu what dishes to prepare.
"Braised fish, chicken stewed with vermicelli, fried tofu, stir-fried vegetables, shredded potatoes and pork slices..."
Gu Jianing ordered 8 dishes.
After hearing this, Mrs. Yu took a deep breath. There were 8 dishes, half of which were meat dishes and half were vegetarian dishes.
This is too...
"Is this too much meat dish? I think two meat dishes at most are enough."
"It's okay, this was decided before, and I bought all the ingredients at the market yesterday." Gu Jianing felt it was okay.
"The mountains will be blocked by heavy snow and supplies will be in short supply. I'm worried that you won't have anything to eat."
"I know the mountain is closed due to heavy snow. Brother Xi told me about it before. Don't worry, sisters-in-law. I have stocked up. You won't starve. You forgot that I bought a whole truckload of stuff yesterday. And there should be one or two more big fairs before the university closes. I will buy some more and stock up then."
Even if she can't buy it at the big market, as long as she has points, she can also buy it in the system's redemption mall, where the daily necessities of food, clothing, housing and transportation are all very cheap.
Gu Jianing said so, and Yu Saozi stopped trying to persuade her. Instead, she smiled and said, "Then those who come here to warm up the house and eat the feast today are blessed."
"Yes, we are all enjoying this treat." Zhang Shuwan also agreed.
The snow stopped today and the temperature dropped by several degrees. It didn't snow. When I looked up, it was no longer covered with snow.
The ingredients had been washed and cut, and the time had not yet come, so the three of them were chatting on the kang in the living room.
When the time was almost up, Sister Shu Wan and Sister Yu went to the kitchen to take turns cooking, while Gu Jianing helped with the firewood and then distributed the cooked food to Feng Cheng.
When the dishes were almost cooked, Sheng Zexi also came with his comrades and brought borrowed tables and chairs.
Because of Sheng Zexi's instructions, all the comrades brought their spouses and children when they came, also because of their good relationship.
But they also knew their limits. Even if they brought children, they only brought one or two at most, and everyone who came brought gifts.
Sheng Zexi took care of his comrades and their families until they were seated, then went into the kitchen.
While the two sisters-in-law were busy, she put her hands on Gu Jianing's shoulders and tucked a strand of hair that fell from her forehead behind her ear. Her eyes were full of tenderness, "Thank you for your hard work."
In fact, Gu Jianing knew that it was her two sisters-in-law who worked hard, but Gu Jianing had always been pampered and was spoiled at home, so she basically didn't have to help in the kitchen.
This afternoon, she was indeed busy running back and forth.
She murmured coquettishly, "Of course I worked hard, you have to reward me later."
Sheng Zexi hurriedly assured, "Definitely!"
Seeing her like a spoiled kitten, Sheng Zexi felt very happy and wanted to hold her in his arms and rub her tightly.
But in the end, considering the presence of his two sisters-in-law, he still held back.
"Two sisters-in-law, I'll take the dishes out."
"Oh, okay, okay."
When Sheng Zexi was carrying the dishes out, the two sisters-in-law winked at Gu Jianing, especially Sister Yu, "I have never seen Captain Sheng so gentle before. As expected, there is always someone who can conquer you. The unruly Captain Sheng was defeated by our Jianing."
