Gu Mingtai looked up and smiled at her, then took another big bite. After wiping his mouth, he said, "I can't eat any slower. I'm so hungry. I haven't eaten anything all day!"
When Zhang Meng heard this, her face immediately turned sour.
What's wrong with your military district? You guys fight for this country, and yet you're not even given anything to eat. How heartless!
Gu Mingtai had already finished a large bowl of noodles and gulped down the soup. "Don't blame them, we were all too busy to eat. This time, rescuing the dragon vein allowed us to capture quite a few enemy spies. We might be rewarded by the higher-ups for going in this time!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Mingtai wiped his mouth again and continued, "By the way, Commander Shu said that our military region will hold a celebration banquet tomorrow night. Let me take you to attend it!"
Zhang Meng was immediately surprised and pointed at herself. "You want me to attend your army's celebration banquet? I'm not a member of your army, can I go?"
Gu Mingtai grabbed the finger that was pointing at her, put it to his lips and kissed it gently, "Who said you can't go? If it weren't for you this time, we don't know if we could have captured those prisoners. In fact, you are the biggest contributor this time! This time, your contribution may have to go to me. I'm sorry for making you suffer."
Zhang Meng smiled, looked at him and said, "We are husband and wife. Husband and wife are from the same source. What's yours is mine, and what's mine is yours. What's the difference between you and me?" Gu Mingtai hugged her with emotion.
That night, the couple indulged themselves a little again.
When Zhang Meng woke up the next day, feeling a little sore all over, she found that the man lying next to her had already gotten up and gone out to do something.
When I opened the door, I found that Grandma Zhang, who usually went out to chat with people, did not go out today. She was sitting in the living room mending clothes.
"Wake up! I've warmed up your breakfast in the pot. Come and have it yourself." Zhang Meng nodded, went to the kitchen, took the breakfast from the pot, walked into the living room, sat down and started eating.
Only then did Zhang Meng notice that the clothes Grandma Zhang was mending belonged to Xiao Tao and Xiao Hu.
Because the food at home improved, these two boys grew very fast.
Now they are much older than other children of the same age.
Because of this, the clothes at home would always be taken to be altered by Grandma Zhang from time to time.
What Zhang Meng saw now were the clothes that the two of them had altered several times.
"Grandma, if Xiaotao and Xiaohu's clothes really can't be altered, then don't do it. We can just buy them new ones. Why go through so much trouble?" Zhang Meng said with a frown.
Grandma Zhang stopped sewing and knocked on her head without warning. "Xiao Gu has spoiled you so much that you don't know how hard it is to make money. This dress is fine. You can just modify it and it will be wearable. Why buy new clothes?"
Zhang Meng touched her head innocently and said, "Grandma, I'm doing this for your own good. You have to alter their clothes once a month. It's so tiring for you."
Grandma Zhang smiled kindly, "What's so hard about this? Life is so good now, and I don't have to do much. I think it's nice to alter the clothes for the two little ones."
Zhang Meng opened her mouth, but swallowed the words that were on the tip of her tongue. "If the old lady wants to do it, let her do it."
After taking a bite of the bun, Zhang Meng remembered what happened when he met his grandfather yesterday.
"Grandma, I saw Grandpa. Is his name Zhang Tianfu?"
Grandma Zhang paused in her sewing and looked up in surprise. "Did you see your grandfather? How is that possible? Your grandfather died a long time ago!"
Zhang Meng quickly swallowed the bun in her mouth and explained, "To be precise, it's my grandfather's ghost! I heard him say that he was a minor official in the underworld."
Grandma Zhang suddenly smiled and cursed, "This old man, I didn't expect that his dream would come true even after he died."
Zhang Meng felt that there was something interesting going on and quickly asked Grandma Zhang, "Grandma, what is going on?"
Grandma Zhang paused her sewing, her eyes glistening with reminiscence as she spoke slowly, "This is what happened. When your grandfather was still alive, he wanted to become an official, but unfortunately, it wasn't easy to become one back then. Later, he wanted your father to take the job, but unfortunately, your father had no interest in being an official, so that's why your grandfather gave up the idea."
When Zhang Meng heard this, she smiled secretly. She never expected that her grandfather had such a past.
Grandma Zhang immediately asked, "By the way, where is your grandfather? Has he ever been to our house?"
Zhang Meng mumbled for a moment, biting her lip as she spoke, "No, Grandpa said he had some business in the underworld and couldn't leave. He couldn't come up to see you for the time being. He also told me to take good care of you and Xiao Tao and the others. He also said that he looked at your lifespan in the underworld and he said you would live a long life!"
Grandma Zhang smiled and continued to sew the unfinished clothes in her hands. "Why do you want to live so long? As long as Xiao Tao and the others grow up well, it will be fine. If you give birth to a child soon, grandma will be satisfied."
Just as the grandfather and grandson were talking, suddenly a loud voice was heard outside.
Grandma Zhang frowned and said, "Why does it sound like this sound is coming from our doorstep?"
Zhang Meng also frowned, immediately put down her half-eaten breakfast, stood up and said, "Don't worry, take your time sewing, I'll go out and take a look."
As soon as she finished speaking, Zhang Meng opened the door and was almost startled by a big creature at the door.
