Chapter 26 You Are My Wife



Chen Jianguo felt that Xu Zhaodi was not fat at all. She had flesh where it should be and skinny where it should be, and looked very plump.

Xu Zhaodi saw Chen Jianguo looking at her and said, "Is there something on my face?"

Chen Jianguo came back to his senses and put the porridge and vegetables on the table.

"No."

"I've heated up the buns. I'll go get them out."

Xu Zhaodi walked to the kitchen, and Chen Jianguo said, "I'll do it."

He strode into the kitchen and came out with a plate of buns in his hands.

The two of them sat at the dining table. Xu Zhaodi calmly placed the dishes and chopsticks before they sat down to eat.

Chen Jianguo took the bun and handed it to Xu Zhaodi: "Try this bun."

Xu Zhaodi took a look and didn't intend to answer it.

"I don't want to eat it, so you eat it."

When I see this bun, I think of Feng Xiujuan’s face, which is quite disgusting.

Chen Jianguo hesitated for a moment, put the bun back on the plate, picked up an egg and cracked it on the table, then carefully peeled it with his rough fingers and slid it into Xu Zhaodi's bowl full of porridge.

Xu Zhaodi paused holding the chopsticks, feeling warm in her heart.

Not only is he a straight man, but he is also a warm man.

Is this a gesture of goodwill to me?

Chen Jianguo said: "Just drinking porridge is not nutritious. You were injured some time ago."

Chen Jianguo lowered his head to eat and explained absentmindedly. He didn't dare to look at Xu Zhaodi at all. The dream he had last night made him feel guilty.

Xu Zhaodi thought of the snacks and peach cakes that Jiang Wan had sent, so she got up and went into the kitchen, took out two pieces and placed them aside, and also made a bowl of malted milk for Chen Jianguo.

"These are all brought by Jiang Wan. I can't finish them all by myself. They will go bad after a long time. You can eat more."

When Chen Jianguo saw the snacks on the plate, he realized that he had never seen them when he was a child, and he was even more reluctant to buy them now that he had grown up.

He pushed the plate in front of Xu Zhaodi and said, "I don't like sweet food, so you eat it."

Of course Xu Zhaodi didn't believe this, so she pushed the plate back.

"Eat quickly. If you don't eat, I won't cook when you get back at noon. It would be a waste of food if it goes bad."

Chen Jianguo hesitated for a moment, but still ate a piece of dessert and a peach cake.

This thing melts in your mouth and is really fragrant and sweet.

Xu Zhaodi curled her lips and smiled, that's right.

No matter what, fate has tied them together. When faced with reality, they should just stop while they are ahead and live a good life. How can it be as beautiful as in novels?

In this generation, I am very lucky to meet a man like Chen Jianguo.

After finishing the two snacks, Xu Zhaodi said, "You drank the malted milk too. I made it myself. Thank you for not giving me a hard time and for peeling the eggs for me."

Chen Jianguo blushed instantly when he heard this, and complained in his heart: I wanted to be nice to you before, but you didn't even give me a chance.

He finished the bowl of malted milk silently. No wonder this stuff is so expensive, it turns out it is really delicious.

Chen Jianguo muttered, "You are my wife."

Xu Zhaodi smiled and saw that he was dawdling a bit, so she kindly reminded him, "It looks like you're going to be late."

Chen Jianguo looked up at the wall clock, grabbed his hat on the table and left, turning back to give instructions when he reached the door.

"Mrs. Feng may not be a very nice person, but the buns she makes are really delicious. If you don't believe me, try it."

Then, there was the sound of a door closing.

Xu Zhaodi feels that living like this is actually quite good, simple and leisurely. After enduring these three months, when the opportunity arises, she will show her talents and make a fortune.

She picked up the big bun, broke it open and saw that it was filled with potatoes and vermicelli, as well as wild onions. It smelled really good.

She took a bite and it tasted good.

After eating a bun slowly, she stood up and went to the balcony to take a look at the hen.

She was reluctant to kill it, so she decided to keep it on the balcony, just in case it could still lay eggs.

Xu Zhaodi took the rope and carried the basket to go out.

She had to make a simple small cage for the hen. Thanks to the well-developed Internet age, she learned a lot of life skills by watching short videos.

There definitely isn't a saw or a machete at home, so just use a kitchen knife.

Xu Zhaodi went downstairs in a happy mood. At this time, there were only a few children running around in the yard.

Two young guards were on duty at the door. They had seen Xu Zhaodi before.

After Xu Zhaodi walked away, the two little guys asked, "Does Captain Chen's wife look like she has a smaller face?"

"It seems a little smaller. Has she lost weight?"

"It seems so."

The two men discussed in low voices, without moving a muscle.

Xu Zhaodi used a kitchen knife to cut some small straight branches as thick as fingers. She tied the branches together and put them aside. Seeing that the hillside was covered with ferns, she calmly bent down to pick the ferns.

The feeling and sight of picking them one by one was very healing, and soon the basket was full.

She was lucky that day and came across a lot of thorny dragon buds.

The prickly bush was covered with thorns and one could get pricked if not careful, so she carefully broke off the prickly bush and tied the basket to the branch. Using the steep slope as leverage, she bent her body forward and easily carried the branch on her back.

Fortunately, Yuanmi was very strong, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to carry it back.

When they were almost at the gate of the compound, two little boys at the gate saw this scene, exchanged glances, and one of them ran over to help Xu Zhaodi.

"Sister-in-law, let me help you."

Xu Zhaodi knew that they could not leave their posts without permission, so she smiled and said, "No, no, I can do it."

"Sister-in-law, you look tired and sweaty, let me do it."

Xiao Zhizhi was too enthusiastic. Xu Zhaodi only felt a lightness on her back, and the thing was already in Xiao Zhizhi's hand.

"Sister-in-law, they said you go to the mountains to pick wild vegetables every now and then. Are wild vegetables really that delicious?"

"During this season, when there is a lack of food, I occasionally pick some wild vegetables to change the taste.

Don’t underestimate these wild vegetables, they are delicious.”

"Really, sister-in-law? Can I have a taste when you make it?"

Xiao Zhi was just joking, but Xu Zhaodi took it seriously.

Xu Zhaodi said, "Hey, when I'm done, I'll have your Battalion Commander Chen bring it to you."

When Xiao Zhi heard the name Chen Jianguo, he instantly became timid.

Forget it. It's good enough that the living devil didn't increase the amount of food they were given when training them, but he also asked him to deliver the food personally. Even if he had ten thousand guts, he wouldn't dare to eat it.

"Sister-in-law, I was just kidding.

Come on, I'll help you carry it back."

On the way, Xiao Zhizhi walked briskly. Such a large pile of branches and a basket of ferns were as light as a feather to him and it was effortless.

When they walked downstairs, they saw several women sitting at a table under a big tree. They glanced at Xu Zhaodi, and then they all spoke quietly, not saying anything.

Xu Zhaodi was too lazy to pay attention to them and said to Xiao Zhi: "Xiao Zhi, just send it here. Thank you very much."

Xiao Zhi smiled sweetly, a boy of about sixteen or seventeen years old, looking very young.

"Sister-in-law, there's no one. Let me help you carry it up."

"Really, you should go back quickly."

She was afraid that these people would come back and talk behind her back.
