Chapter 474 Not Good Looking
Although Zhou Xini and Yang Jing behind him didn't say anything, their faces were full of disbelief.
Their men have a good relationship with Gu Xizhou, and they will bring food and other things when they visit their comrades' homes, but they are still a bit chauvinistic when they are at home.
In addition, it was because of Gu Xizhou’s previous cold appearance that people could not imagine him being down-to-earth.
Su Nanzhi took a step behind and said slowly: "Sister-in-law, Xizhou and I have already prepared everything this morning. We can start cooking when it's time for dinner."
Gu Xizhou also raised his head and said politely to them: "Sisters-in-law, why don't you go and have a rest first."
Zhang Lanhua nodded belatedly, then returned to her usual cheerful self. She waved her hand and said generously, "That doesn't make sense. We still want to come to your house for dinner tonight, but I don't want to eat free rice."
As she spoke, she picked up the vegetables in the corner and walked out to the yard, "I'll go wash the vegetables."
Zhou Xini picked up the fish in the bucket and said, "I'll go kill the fish."
Yang Jing was even more straightforward. She picked up the kitchen knife and meat beside her and said, "Let me cut the meat. How do you plan to cook it?"
Seeing that everyone had started to work, Su Nanzhi and Gu Xizhou said nothing more. They smiled and said thank you and started to work.
Although it was not difficult for Gu Xizhou and Su Nanzhi to prepare two tables of dishes, with the help of Zhang Lanhu and others, the two immediately felt a lot more relaxed.
The hostess Su Nanzhi was of little help, but she was not idle either, and she sent snacks to her sisters-in-law from time to time.
This was the first time Zhang Lanhua and Su Nanzhi had met. Although there were many rumors about Su Nanzhi outside, she always just listened to them and didn't take them to heart.
However, she was still a little skeptical about what people said about Su Nanzhi having some tricks up her sleeve.
After all, if you don't have some tricks, how can you conquer Gu Xizhou, a high-class beauty?
But after spending time with them today, she felt that Su Nanzhi had a good temper, was good-looking, and had a smile on her face. She didn't look down on her sisters-in-law from the countryside just because her husband was the head of the group.
Moreover, the cold-looking Captain Gu stared at Su Nanzhi from time to time, making those who had been married for several years feel a little embarrassed.
Su Nanzhi didn't know what her sisters-in-law were thinking. Seeing Gu Xizhou sweating from plucking chicken feathers with hot water, she took out a handkerchief from her pocket and wanted to wipe him, but when she saw that her sisters-in-law were there, she immediately stopped.
"There's sweat on your forehead, wipe it off."
Gu Xizhou held the featherless chicken in one hand, the other hand still wet, and said nothing.
Su Nanzhi sighed, and while her sisters-in-law were not paying attention, she immediately wiped the sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief.
"Thank you, wife."
Gu Xizhou lowered his head to let Su Nanzhi wipe the sweat off his face, and after that he whispered something in her ear.
Before Su Nanzhi could react, Yang Jing, who was cutting meat, laughed first.
Su Nanzhi's face turned red instantly. The culprit was good. He walked out of the kitchen with the plucked chicken without blushing or beating his heart.
After Gu Xizhou left, Yang Jing couldn't help herself. She looked at Su Nanzhi, whose face was flushed, and said sympathetically, "Newlyweds are so good. They're even more clingy than when I first got married to Lao Lin."
Zhang Lanhua, who had walked in with some food, also came over and said, "I never thought I'd see Captain Gu like this before. It seems like Captain Gu really loves Xiao Su."
Su Nanzhi didn't know what to say, so she could only explain with a blushing face: "Xizhou looks cold, but he's actually a very nice person."
Zhang Lanhua glanced at Gu Xizhou, who was washing his hands outside the yard, and said with a smile, "We didn't know before, but we know now."
Su Nanzhi's face instantly turned red to her ears.
Fortunately, Zhang Lanhua and the other person joked for a few words and then got back to work.
Although Zhang Lanhua and others came to help Gu Xizhou and Su Nanzhi, they thought that the two of them would at most cook a few dishes and treat them.
Unexpectedly, there was pork, chicken, duck, and a lot of vegetables. Even during the Chinese New Year and other festivals, they didn’t eat so well at home.
Several people worked hard for the whole afternoon to prepare the dishes, and it was getting dark.
It was time for the troops to get off work. When Gu Xizhou brought up the last dish, bursts of talking were heard outside the yard.
Because she was going to entertain guests, Su Nanzhi opened the gate early.
Then she saw that several of Gu Xizhou's friends who had come to her house a few days ago were there. In addition, there were a few unfamiliar men, followed by two women and four or five children.
More than a dozen people came in and immediately filled the small yard.
As soon as the child entered the yard, he ran into the main room and circled around the dining table.
“I saw fish!”
"No, it's the smell of meat."
"It's roast chicken. I just ate it last month."
…
The kids were almost drooling as they talked, but they were all sensible enough not to get involved.
Today, Gu Xizhou and Su Nanzhi prepared two tables of banquets. They borrowed tables and chairs from the neighbors and placed a table in the bedroom.
Gu Xizhou and several of his comrades ate in the main room, while female comrades such as Su Nanzhi and Zhang Lanhua ate in the other room.
As for the children, Su Nanzhi arranged for them to eat at a small table in a small corner of the main room.
"Xiao Su, you are really thoughtful."
Zhang Lanhua glanced at the children standing by the bedroom door, eating happily with their bowls in their hands, and couldn't help but praise Su Nanzhi who was sitting next to her.
"I finally get to rest today. I don't have to wait on that naughty monkey of mine for dinner."
Although Zhang Lanhua is only in her thirties, she has already given birth to four children, the oldest of whom is 15 years old. The child who came to Gu Xizhou's house today is her five-year-old youngest son.
Although Gu Xizhou and Su Nanzhi were treating, it was impossible for everyone to come for dinner, so this time they only brought their youngest son to dinner.
The other families were similar to hers, each bringing only one child to eat.
However, there are also newlyweds who have not yet married, such as the deputy commander of the Third Regiment, Zhu Dajiang, and his wife Shi Meili. The two just got married last month, so naturally they don’t have children.
Zhu Dajiang didn't come home a few days ago. Su Nanzhi was not familiar with Zhu Dajiang and Shi Meili in her previous life. This was the first time she saw Zhu Dajiang in this life.
Zhu Dajiang is 1.9 meters tall and looks big and strong. However, his wife Shi Meili is less than 1.6 meters tall. She looks gentle and speaks very softly, but what she says is a little strange.
"The yard is bare and nothing is planted."
"In addition to the table and chairs in the living room, I think we can also add two shelves to store some books and small ornaments."
"Sister-in-law, why are you covering the wall next to the bed with a piece of rag? It doesn't look good."
