Second update
In the Zhou family kitchen, Gu Cheng stood at the kitchen door with his arms folded. Although there was no expression on his face, he was very happy inside. He suppressed the upturned corners of his mouth and gave a serious instruction: "Wash the vegetables over there first. I will teach you how to cook later. Just do as I say."
The women gathered in the yard with their children. Gu Cheng was asked by Sister Zaohua to come to the Zhou family kitchen to teach Political Commissar Zhou how to cook.
When Political Commissar Zhou saw him, he almost couldn't breathe.
He had a quarrel with Zaohua a few days ago. Sister Zaohua asked him to learn more from Captain Gu. Political Commissar Zhou drank hot tea and said calmly, "Learn more? I can only learn if someone teaches me. If you invite him to teach me, I will learn. I will learn well."
After saying this, Political Commissar Zhou did not take it to heart, because he had worked with Gu Cheng for a long time and knew Gu Cheng's personality. This was simply a fantasy.
However--
Zaohua told Qin Yao about this, and Qin Yao told Gu Cheng about it. Not only did Gu Cheng not reject his wife, but he happily came to be a teacher and came to his kitchen to give instructions. The two families had dinner together in the evening.
What's going on in this Gu guy's mind?
"Captain Gu, I've known you for such a long time, but it feels like today is the first time I met you." Political Commissar Zhou said sarcastically while washing vegetables.
Gu Cheng stood at the door and peeled a banana. Compared with other troublesome fruits, bananas were his favorite on the island.
"I am different in life than I am at work." After saying that, Gu Cheng gave Political Commissar Zhou a purely harmless smile.
persecution!
Political Commissar Zhou was almost so angry that he had a heart attack, thinking to himself, when we were working together before, yes, I did put a lot of obstacles in your way, but after all, we are in the same boat, right? Is it really necessary to "kill one thousand enemies and lose eight hundred of your own"?
Gu Cheng: "Political Commissar, I have wanted to teach you a lesson for a long time."
Political Commissar Zhou: “…”
Political Commissar Zhou watched Gu Cheng change into a white apron neatly, and the two of them began to cook. This was not a big deal, as many men in the family compound cooked at home, especially when entertaining guests, chopping bones, killing chickens and ducks, which were all jobs done by men.
Zhou Zhengwei's wife Zaohua was well-known for her ability, so he rarely had to go into the kitchen. Political Commissar Zhou had never been into the kitchen either, so he didn't even have to wipe the chicken's neck when it was slaughtered.
Political Commissar Zhou has enjoyed a happy and carefree life for so many years. Apart from the occasional regret of not being able to find a beautiful and educated wife, he has nothing to complain about his current "ordinary life".
He really didn't expect that his peaceful and comfortable life would "capsize" one day by chance.
"It's so embarrassing. Don't tell anyone else." Political Commissar Zhou covered his forehead with his hands. When he was doing well in the past, he often went out to show off, saying that he had never been to the kitchen and that the women served him well.
"Gu Cheng, don't laugh! What are you laughing at! What's so funny about this?"
Gu Cheng laughed and thought to himself: I am happy to see you suffering.
"Women shouldn't be so pampered when they are pregnant. Look at you, look at what you have become now. You do whatever your wife tells you to do. I tell you clearly that there is something wrong with your thinking. You have been hit by the enemy's sugar-coated bullet."
Gu Cheng nodded calmly.
"Political Commissar, you can have enough food and clothing if you cook for yourself." Gu Cheng curled his lips and smiled: "I like to cook for myself."
Political Commissar Zhou: “…”
“Is this true or false?”
Gu Cheng remained unmoved: "Really, I hope you can also feel this kind of happiness."
When Gu Cheng returned home, he really liked to cook for himself, mainly to prevent Qin Yao from having any "sudden whims". Qin Yao was pregnant and her taste became very special, and she also liked to drink milk.
Comrade Gu was particularly afraid that she would start cooking with milk one day, especially when he heard Qin Yao say that she wanted to cook a spicy hot pot in winter. Gu Cheng asked, "Aren't you afraid of spicy food?"
Qin Yao replied: "Pour milk in it, and it will be spicy with a milky aroma, which is especially delicious!"
Decades later, people could make spicy hot pot at home using beef hot pot base, milk and water. It was incredibly delicious. Qin Yao really wanted to try it in this era, but it was a pity that there was not enough oil.
Gu Cheng: “…”
What’s scary is not that Qin Yao uses milk to cook. If she thought it was unpalatable, it would be fine, but she ate it with “relish”.
He was standing aside, not knowing whether to eat or not. He might as well cook for himself. As the saying goes: whoever cooks has the final say.
Gu Cheng was thinking about his "iron stomach".
"Gu Cheng, look at what you look like now? You look like a 'silly dad'. I know that being a father for the first time is really exciting, but I can't be like this..."
Political Commissar Zhou either doesn't speak or, when he speaks, he speaks at great length.
Gu Cheng listened silently. He was very happy to hear it, thinking that this guy could also spit out ivory from his mouth.
Political Commissar Zhou: "Have you heard enough?"
"That's not enough. Please continue. It's rare to hear something new from you."
Political Commissar Zhou: “…”
Political Commissar Zhou cooked a table of dishes with tears in his eyes, and the two families sat together to taste the dishes. Gu Cheng's instructions were very good, and Sister Zaohua praised him several times.
Gu Cheng said confidently: "Sister-in-law, believe me, the people I have trained have passed the basic subjects in one month and have never fallen behind."
Political Commissar Zhou was quite depressed.
...He didn't expect that this guy's cooking skills were really good.
Gu Cheng: "I have tailored a 'Year-round Key Learning Plan' for Political Commissar Zhou."
Sister Zaohua was stunned: “?!” There is such a thing?
Political Commissar Zhou widened his eyes: "!"
Qin Yao turned her head and said, "What's the plan? Let me see it."
"Just to tease him."
After returning from Political Commissar Zhou's house, Gu Cheng supported his wife and was in a good mood. Qin Yao looked at him strangely for several times and thought to herself, Captain Gu, you are really letting yourself go now.
From the old things sent by his parents-in-law, it can be seen that Gu Cheng was a very naughty boy when he was young. After joining the army, he became much calmer and more steady. Later, he became known as "Captain Gu" and became more dignified and serious.
Anyway... now that I'm married, I don't have much image to hide, and I can't hide it from my neighbors, so I'll just do whatever they want.
Gu Cheng accompanied Qin Yao to take a bath. He boiled water and they both took a bath. Then Gu Cheng carried her back to the bedroom.
"Why are you so happy?" Qin Yao couldn't stand the way this guy got carried away.
Gu Cheng smiled and said, "I wasn't too familiar with Political Commissar Zhou before."
Although they have been together for a long time, most of the time they have been working together, and they have rarely met in real life.
"He is very good at pretending, taking advantage of his age and acting arrogantly all the time."
"It makes me happy to see him being so clumsy."
Qin Yao covered her belly with a blanket and whispered, "My dears, don't listen to your father. This is immoral."
Gu Cheng clicked his tongue.
"I want to give my child some 'truth, kindness and beauty' prenatal education, please don't come and pollute the clean and pure baby."
Gu Cheng went over and lifted her blanket, then whispered to her belly, "When you come out, Dad will teach you what 'all is fair in war' and 'a battle of wits and courage' mean."
Qin Yao: "I've had enough of you."
"My sons and daughters can't be little bunnies that eat grass obediently. They can't be the king of the forest, the lion, or the tiger. They can bully others or protect the weak. They must never be bullied by others."
Qin Yao lay on her side, looked at him with a look of despair, but did not deny what Gu Cheng said.
As a mother, of course I hope my child is well-behaved and obedient, but is a "well-behaved, obedient and disciplined" child necessarily a good one?
Well, maybe it also requires some rough education from dad.
As the days passed, all the manuscripts were copied and Qin Yao sent out all the manuscripts. A month later, the manuscripts were returned, saying that they were not in compliance with the regulations and a lot of problems were pointed out.
Qin Yao was quite angry. It could be changed, but wouldn't that be like writing an eight-part essay?
She is very satisfied with the manuscript she has revised. If it does not meet the "standards" now, it will meet them in a few years, right?
She had clearly seen some authors who could write like this. Yes, they were authors from the Writers Association, but she was not famous at all at that time.
"The manuscript was returned? I think so too. Writing a book is not that easy."
Xiao Pan was getting married, so he put his book writing on hold. When he saw Qin Yao's manuscript was returned, he was overjoyed.
"I've read Xiao Qin's book, it's very well written." Deputy Director Liu likes the stories written by Qin Yao very much, and she feels very sorry that they cannot be published.
Director Huang nodded and said, "Xiao Qin, please let me have a look at the manuscript. I will help you recommend it to others."
Qin Yao gave the manuscript to Director Huang.
Director Huang spent two days reading it once and asked Qin Yao to revise a few plots. Qin Yao made the changes as she asked. She couldn't help but admire Director Huang in her heart. There were indeed some plots that she had not thought through carefully.
Director Huang has a perfect grasp of those regulations.
Qin Yao decided to go back and revise the manuscript. Who knew that a few days later, Director Huang found her and said to her:
"Xiao Qin, I want to tell you something. The day before yesterday, a studio manager saw your article. They want to make it into a movie. Do you want to?"
If Qin Yao agreed, she could get 200 yuan as "adaptation copyright fee".
Two hundred dollars? This price is really low. When Qin Yao heard it, her first reaction was that it was not worth it. It was too little. Then she thought about it again and felt that being able to be adapted was a great thing. So two hundred was fine.
After working so hard for several months, I only earned two hundred dollars? ...That's fine.
After all, it is a good thing if your work has the opportunity to be made into a movie, even if it doesn't make any money.
