Song Fanxing helped wash and chop the vegetables, while Su Wanzhi started the fire and stir-fried them.
The two chatted as they worked.
Most of the time, Su Wanzhi was asking the questions, and Song Fanxing was answering.
The two quickly prepared two dishes.
One dish is stir-fried wood ear mushrooms with eggs, and the other is stir-fried loofah.
It's simple and light, but it looks very appetizing.
Song Fanxing smiled and said, "Grandma Su, your cooking is really good."
Su Wanzhi said, "I learned how to cook. When I first married your Grandpa Zhou, I couldn't cook and didn't even recognize many vegetables. Later, your Grandpa Zhou was so busy with work that he ruined his stomach, so I learned to cook. The dishes I made were light and nutritious, and slowly they cured your Grandpa Zhou's stomach."
Su Wanzhi spoke with a proud expression.
Su Wanzhi was born into a scholarly family and never lifted a finger to do housework.
Although she and Zhou Xiongguang met and married through an introduction, they treated each other with respect after marriage.
Gradually, a deep affection developed between the two.
Su Wanzhi learned to cook to help Zhou Xiongguang with his stomach problems. From being completely flustered at first, she is now able to cook quite well.
She herself found it unbelievable.
Song Fanxing listened quietly.
"Grandma Su, you and Grandpa Zhou are so loving."
"That's true, we've never had a serious argument in our lives."
Song Fanxing was envious.
In her past life, she had never been in love, nor had she ever experienced the feeling of sharing joys and sorrows with someone.
In this life...
Seeing the affection between Grandpa Zhou and Grandma Su, and witnessing the loving and inseparable relationship of my parents over the years.
She wanted to give it a try...
Song Fanxing carried two plates of dishes into the main room.
Su Wanzhi cleaned up the stove.
She loves cleanliness and dislikes seeing a messy stove. She feels comfortable and can only eat in peace when the stove is clean.
Zhou Zan went to the kitchen to get two pairs of chopsticks and two bowls.
Su Wanzhi then came in, and the four of them sat down.
After a warm dinner, Zhou Zan volunteered to wash the dishes.
Song Fanxing wanted to politely offer her help, but Su Wanzhi stopped her.
"Don't go, sit down and chat with us, let Xiao Zan do the washing."
Zhou Xiongguang: "That's right, let him do the washing. Men should do more work."
Song Fanxing was just being polite; once they started talking, she sat down.
As Zhou Zan washed the dishes, he listened to the cheerful laughter coming from the main room and smiled.
After washing up in the evening, Su Wanzhi led Song Fanxing to a private room.
Zhou Zan followed behind.
The bed inside was already made up and cleaned thoroughly.
Su Wanzhi: "Girl, you can sleep here. The bedding is clean. The outhouse is in the yard, but I've put a spittoon in your room. It's dark in the yard, so you can relieve yourself in the room."
Song Fanxing: "Thank you, Grandma Su!"
Zhou Zan: "I live right next door to you. Call me if you're scared."
Song Fanxing: "I'm not afraid."
"I wasn't saying if. If you're scared, just call me."
"There are no 'what ifs,' so go to sleep peacefully."
"I just wanted to let you know that I live next door, so you can feel at ease."
Su Wanzhi grabbed her grandson and left.
"Let the stars rest, it's getting late."
Zhou Zan left with reluctance.
In the main room, Su Wanzhi asked seriously, "Xiao Zan, I remember you said you gave the bracelet away. I thought you gave it to Xingxing. But I saw that Xingxing didn't have it on her wrist today. What happened? Did you give it to someone else?"
Zhou Xiongguang: "That was your grandmother's dowry, a family heirloom. We gave it to you so you could give it to your future wife. How could you just give it away like that?"
They have already decided that Song Fanxing is their granddaughter-in-law, and the bracelet should be given to her.
You can't give it to someone else.
Zhou Zan laughed and said, "Grandpa and Grandma, I gave the bracelet to Xingxing, not to anyone else. I know the importance and significance of the bracelet, how could I give it to someone else? Of course, it has to be given to my future wife."
Su Wanzhi and Zhou Xiongguang were relieved.
"That's good."
Song Fanxing didn't have trouble sleeping because of the unfamiliar location; she fell asleep as soon as she hit the bed.
I woke up the next morning feeling refreshed and energized.
However, Grandma Su and Zhou Zan were there even earlier than her.
Grandma Su was making breakfast in the kitchen, while Zhou Zan was practicing boxing in the yard.
Zhou Zan, wearing a vest and trousers, threw powerful punches and was sweating profusely.
The morning sunlight shone on the boy, highlighting his resolute face and eagle-like eyes.
Song Yaohua once said that Zhou Zan was known as the "Little King of Soldiers" in the army.
It truly lives up to its reputation.
Song Fanxing woke up early to such a pleasing scene, and was in a good mood, quietly admiring it for a while.
It wasn't until Zhou Zan noticed her that she stopped and walked over.
"Star, you're awake."
"Hmm. Where's the washbasin?"
"There."
Zhou Zan pointed to her left.
Song Fanxing went over and washed her face.
My hair feels incredibly oily.
Turning back, she said, "Zhou Zan, could you boil some water for me? I want to wash my hair."
"You wait."
Zhou Zan disappeared in a flash.
A short while later, a basin of water was brought over, along with Su Wanzhi's shampoo.
Song Fanxing wanted to wash herself, but Zhou Zan said, "I'll help you."
Song Fanxing: "I'll wash it myself."
Zhou Zan: "I'll help you, but if you won't let me, I'll take the water away."
Song Fanxing: ……
This child is actually being unreasonable.
In the end, Song Fanxing let him do her hair.
Zhou Zan's movements were gentle. After wetting the hair, he applied shampoo and gently massaged and kneaded it.
Song Fanxing joked, "Zhou Zan, you're pretty good at washing hair. If you can't make it in the army, you can become a hairdresser."
