A shameless neighbor knocked on the Gu family's door, and Gu Xichen opened it.
"Gu Laosan, what are you cooking? It smells so good!"
Gu Xichen, a former soldier, naturally exudes a powerful aura. Coupled with his tall stature, large build, and often stern face, most people dare not provoke him.
Gu Xichen knew perfectly well what these people were up to, and said expressionlessly, "My wife just bought pork in town today."
"Oh, I see. But I've never seen your food smell this good before."
Everyone cooks meat, but no one has ever cooked it this fragrant. Gu Xichen's family is no exception.
When Gu Xichen heard his neighbor say that, he became a little smug: "It really does smell delicious. My wife is a good cook."
The neighbor curled his lip upon hearing this. It was understandable that Jiang Zhiqing could buy meat, but to say that she was a good cook contradicted the rumors. Wasn't it said that she couldn't cook?
I never cooked when I was at the educated youth settlement.
However, he couldn't help but think that maybe she had talent, and that she didn't do it before because she didn't want to.
As soon as the neighbor left, Gu Xichen closed the door and focused all his attention on the kitchen.
Before long, the meat was ready to be taken out of the pot.
Jiang Jinxiu brought over several bowls and filled them with some.
Although the family has separated, the adults can be neglected, but the children have all come over, so some things still need to be shared with them. This time, it's just for the sake of her mother-in-law, Yang Dongmei.
Before the meat was even served, the group quickly washed their hands, sat down at the table, and had never looked forward to it so much.
The group ate voraciously, their mouths never stopping. Gu Xilan kept saying, "Delicious, delicious!" as she ate.
He hadn't swallowed the food in his mouth; it felt like he was wolfing it down.
Jiang Jinxiu also picked up some meat and ate it, a satisfied smile on her face.
Indeed, both the corn and pork rib soup and the pork belly are better than what I made in my previous life.
Was it because she added some spiritual spring water?
Soon the dried meat on the table was gone, but the previously cooked vegetables remained untouched.
Finally, Yang Dongmei couldn't help but laugh and said, "Look at how greedy you are, as if I've mistreated you before."
"Mom, no, but Third Sister-in-law's cooking is really delicious."
Gu Xilan couldn't help but burp in response.
They ate their fill, but the expressions on the faces of the first and second wives were quite different.
The eldest son's family.
Seeing her son and daughter return with a small bowl of meat, Yang Zhaodi swallowed hard, but said, "How stingy, only giving so little."
"Stop talking. This is the third brother's kind gesture. If you want some meat, we can go and buy some ourselves tomorrow."
As he spoke, he placed the meat into the bowls of the two children.
If he doesn't share the food with them in advance, given how fast his wife works, the kids will only get one piece at most.
Before marriage, Yang Zhaodi always went along with him and was very considerate and thoughtful. So, even though his mother disagreed, he insisted on marrying her. Who knew that she would turn out to be such a person after marriage?
The thoughtfulness of the past has vanished. She is still diligent, but her heart is particularly biased. She only cares about her own family and herself, treating her own child as if it weren't hers.
What can I do? I've already married her and we have two kids. I can only make do with how things are going to be.
We can't let the two kids lose their mother.
Second wife's family.
Wow~ My sister-in-law's cooking is so delicious, it seems the rumors are unreliable.
Come on, Jing-ge, you eat; Fangfang, you eat too.
Your aunt is good to you, so remember that. Next time you have something good to eat, share it with her, okay?
Little Fangfang nodded vigorously: "Hello, Auntie!"
"Good boy!"
While eating, Sun Xiaomeng also served food to her husband and children.
The bowl of meat was completely devoured in no time.
I have to admit, my third sister-in-law's meat cooking is much tastier than hers.
They also cut some meat to cook today, but it wasn't as good as Jiang Jinxiu's cooking.
“Brother Jing, in the future, let’s share some of our things with our third sister-in-law. She’s a really good person. I guess she just hadn’t figured it out before.”
"Okay, you can take care of things at home."
Gu Xijing also knew that dividing the family did not mean severing ties. There was still affection between the brothers, and their mother was also living with the third brother, so they should still maintain contact.
There are no entertainment activities in the countryside at night, and everyone goes back to their rooms to rest after dinner.
Jiang Jinxiu lay on the bed, her hand moving unconsciously: "Xichen, you have such a great figure."
Gu Xichen felt his whole body begin to heat up, and he grasped that restless little hand.
His deep, hoarse voice seemed to be restraining something: "Don't light it."
Jiang Jinxiu nestled against his chest, looked up at him with pleading eyes, and asked innocently, "Where's the fire?"
Summer clothes are light and thin, so you can clearly hear each other's heartbeats and feel each other's warmth and softness.
Gu Xichen's Adam's apple bobbed as he stared intently at her.
What a vixen!
After a moment, he whispered in her ear, "What do you think? Who fainted halfway through last night?"
Gu Xichen restrained himself, knowing his wife was delicate and couldn't be with her too often.
My wife is too delicate and needs to be cared for.
Jiang Jinxiu's face instantly turned bright red. She immediately covered his mouth and said angrily, "Don't say it, it wasn't me."
Gu Xichen thought she was extremely cute and couldn't help but stroke her hair to soothe the slightly frizzy little kitten.
Jiang Jinxiu subconsciously twisted her body, completely forgetting that she was in Gu Xichen's arms.
Gu Xichen, who had finally managed to control the small flame of anger, began to flicker on the verge of losing control again: "Wife!"
