Chapter 91 Helping with Food



"Hello, Teacher Chu."

Chu Miaomiao was very happy. The other teachers in the office were either female teachers who were older than her or male comrades, and they had nothing in common.

Now that Lin Jingshu is here, she is no longer afraid of being bored.

Chu Miaomiao happily asked her to go home together after get off work.

Lin Jingshu said apologetically, "I may not be able to officially start work until next Monday. I will go back after I finish packing my things."

Chu Miaomiao uttered an "ah" with a tone full of regret, but she quickly cheered up and said, "It's okay, we can go to and from get off work together in the future."

Lin Jingshu did not say anything to refuse her enthusiasm.

After packing up, Lin Jingshu said goodbye to Team Leader Tian and went home with the textbooks and class schedule.

Before I reached the door of my house, I saw Su Hongping waiting there with Ji Nian.

"How was it? Was it successful?"

Seeing Lin Jingshu nod, Su Hongping slapped her thigh happily.

"I told you that you could definitely be a teacher."

Lin Jingshu opened the door and the two went home to talk.

When Su Hongping learned that she was a temporary worker, she felt sorry for her.

Lin Jingshu has already adapted to it. After all, for the general public, the main courses are the most important, and auxiliary courses such as art and physical education have not been understood by everyone.

"It just means we won't be able to see each other often in the future."

Su Hongping felt a little regretful when she thought about it. She didn't have many close friends in the staff quarters.

Ever since Lin Jingshu moved in, the two have always gotten along well, and she treats Lin Jingshu as her own sister.

However, even though I felt a little uncomfortable, I was still happy for Lin Jingshu.

"Of course, I'm usually free except for half a day when I have classes."

Principal Peng said that the requirements for temporary workers are not strict. She only needs to be in school for half a day during classes every day, and she can arrange the rest of the time herself.

"That's great! Then we can go fishing together."

Speaking of this, Su Hongping remembered that she was at home, and she hurried home to get the octopus she found while fishing this morning.

“This big.”

Lin Jingshu looked at the octopus jumping around in the bucket and trying to escape with her eyes wide open.

"I was lucky today. When I went there, I found an octopus stuck in a crevice and couldn't get out."

Worried that Lin Jingshu didn't know how to cook, Su Hongping told her, "Blanch the green onions, ginger, garlic, and chilies first, then add them and stir-fry until they are well-seasoned."

Lin Jingshu looked at the slippery feel of the octopus and took two steps back.

Su Hongping smiled and said, "If you don't dare to deal with it, wait for Captain Gu to come back and get it for you. These people have nothing to eat when they are on missions outside, and sometimes they even eat it raw."

Lin Jingshu widened her eyes in surprise.

Su Hongping slapped her lips. "Look at what I said. It's not that there's nothing to eat. It's just that the dry rations we brought with us on missions are not as delicious as home-cooked meals. Sometimes they eat meat instead of meat."

Lin Jingshu had only eaten it once when she was traveling in Korea, and the feeling of the octopus foot stuck in her throat still lingered in her mind.

As a Chinese, her favorite is Chinese food, and she really can't stand these imported products.

When Gu Chengze came back, he saw the octopus in the bucket and asked, "Wife, is this the one you just caught? It looks quite big."

Lin Jingshu was cutting side dishes in the kitchen. Seeing him come back, she said, "Sister-in-law Su gave them to me. You're back just in time. Let's prepare them and stir-fry them."

Gu Chengze nodded, went back to the house to find the scissors, and carried the bucket to the door to deal with it.

The octopus's internal organs and teeth need to be processed, which can easily make your house full of fishy smell.

Xiaobai followed him happily with his short legs.

It was not difficult to deal with this thing. Gu Chengze was an old hand and cleaned it up in no time.

Following the instructions given by Mrs. Su, Lin Jingshu first cut the octopus into large pieces and blanched it in a pot for one minute.

After watching the octopus change color, take it out and rinse it with cold water. Heat oil in another pan and add scallions, ginger and garlic and stir-fry until fragrant.

Pour the blanched octopus in. Add various seasonings, and sprinkle a handful of onions and celery before serving to enhance the flavor.

In addition to stir-fried octopus, Lin Jingshu also made a dish of spicy and sour potato shreds and a stewed pig's trotter that had been braised in advance.

Finally, I made a refreshing mixed dish, making a total of four dishes.

"Why is it so grand today? Is there something happy?"

Normally, when the two of them dine together, they only have two dishes at most.

"I took a trial class this afternoon and passed it. I will report to school next Monday."

Looking at her proud expression, Gu Chengze was also happy for her.

"I know my wife is the best."

Gu Chengze said a lot of sincere words to make Lin Jingshu smile so happily that she even ate an extra bowl of rice.

Before going to bed, the two lay on the bed, and Lin Jingshu carefully counted her future plans.

I didn't hear Gu Chengze's voice for a long time. I thought he was asleep, so I turned my head and found that he was staring at me.

"Why aren't you talking?"

Gu Chengze pursed his lower lip and said seriously, "I might have to go on a mission in a few days."

Lin Jingshu's expression suddenly became nervous, and she quickly asked, "Is it dangerous? How long will you be gone? When will you be back?"

When she met Gu Chengze's apologetic eyes, she suddenly realized that these were all confidential and could not be disclosed.

"I'm sorry, daughter-in-law, but don't worry, I will definitely complete the mission safely and come back early."

Gu Chengze held her in his arms and patted her back gently to comfort her.

Lin Jingshu calmed down and quickly accepted the news.

As early as when she decided to marry Gu Chengze, she understood that she might face various unexpected situations in the future.

If Gu Chengze didn't say anything, she wouldn't ask proactively to avoid causing unnecessary consequences.

She hugged Gu Chengze back and said softly, "Don't worry, I will take good care of myself and wait for you to come back."

Then he changed the subject and said, "But you must protect yourself and don't get hurt, otherwise I will be angry."

It will make me feel even more distressed.

Gu Chengze responded with a smile, his eyes filled with endless love.

"Don't worry, I will definitely come back safe and sound."

This mission did not come suddenly. They had been deploying for a long time, just waiting to strike the enemy at the most critical moment.

But these are all confidential information of the army and cannot be disclosed to the outside world.

In fact, the departure time had already been decided. Gu Chengze didn't want his wife to face his sudden departure, so after applying to his leader, he gave a vague time to give her a buffer period.

"Brother will also go on a mission with me. If anything happens at home, go find Aunt Kang. I've already said hello to her."

In the next two days, apart from preparing courseware, Lin Jingshu did not concentrate on preparing things for Gu Chengze to take on the mission.

Mrs. Su said that they couldn’t eat or sleep well outside.

Sleeping doesn't help, but eating can.
