Chapter 9

Jing Xian looked at Shang Nanchen and smiled secretly.

She picked up a piece of abalone and put it in his bowl. Shang Nanchen looked over and she also looked away and asked, "Don't you want to try this crap?"

Obviously she knew in her heart what people outside were saying about her.

Shang Nanchen's eyes lit up after eating the abalone. He ate another one and then said, "If they knew that these rotten things were so delicious, I wonder how they would feel."

"Why should I care what other people do?"

Jing Xian doesn't care what others say about her. No matter what they say, it has no effect on her mood.

Shang Nanchen made her laugh.

Jing Xian rolled her eyes at him: "What are you laughing at?"

"You have a good attitude."

"If others praise me every day, can I have enough to eat and wear warm clothes? Don't I have to live my life by myself? I can't rely on their words. If they really have this ability, and say that I can eat delicious food and drink spicy drinks every day, then I will have to take the initiative to find them and let them say a few more words about me. Do they have this ability?" They are just idle and farting all day long.

Jing Xian didn't say this in front of the child.

But Shang Nanchen heard it.

"Pig ears, don't you want to eat some?" Shang Nanchen still remembers the taste. He put it in his mouth without saying a word. The taste was really unforgettable and it tasted super delicious.

The two children were eating shrimps. They were a little full now and looked at Shang Nanchen with sparkling eyes.

"Dad, is it delicious?" Tiedan was about to cry when he saw Shang Nanchen eating with such relish.

Jing Xian said: "Don't eat too much."

"Then try it." Shang Nanchen gave each of the two children a bite.

Fusheng sat there, eating leisurely, with an expression that showed he was enjoying his meal.

After finishing the iron egg, Jing Xian wanted to eat more. She pointed at the potatoes and said, "The potatoes are not so hot anymore. You two can try this."

The two children's attention was divided, and she took the remaining shrimps and placed them in front of Shang Nanchen.

Children have small stomachs.

Besides, she still knows the principle of overdoing something and underdoing something.

Jing Xian didn't dare let the two children eat too much of anything, just enough to eat.

Shang Nanchen watched and took the initiative to peel the shrimps and put them in Jingxian's bowl.

Jing Xian ate about ten and didn't want the rest: "Eat more. This thing can replenish calcium and is good for your body."

Shang Nanchen paused and said nothing. He knew that the two children couldn't eat any more, so he buried his head and ate the rest. There were quite a few abalones, and Jing Xian put them in one by one. You can't eat too much of this stuff at one time.

The two children ate half a bowl of shrimps and now they can't eat anymore.

Each person ate an abalone and half a bowl of potatoes. They were full without even eating the potatoes.

No one would believe it if I told them.

The two of them couldn't eat and just watched Shang Nanchen eat.

Jing Xian ate a wo wo tou, two abalones, and some potatoes. If it was the day before, she probably wouldn't have been able to eat so much. She ate so much today because her special powers were drained.

Shang Nanchen ate the remaining half pot of stewed potatoes with abalone by himself.

"This thing is called abalone. It's not good to eat too much at one time. If you have stomach discomfort, remember to tell me." Jing Xian was worried that Shang Nanchen ate too much and his stomach couldn't absorb it, so he had diarrhea.

"I have an iron stomach. When I was at war, I ate even grass roots, let alone this stuff." Shang Nanchen said it nonchalantly, but in fact it revealed that he had suffered a lot. He was able to get to where he is today by walking out of the hail of bullets.

After eating, Shang Nanchen went to wash the dishes.

The two children asked imaginatively: "Mom, what are we going to eat tonight?"

"Eat cabbage for dinner!"

Jing Xian thought the two kids would reject it, but unexpectedly they said excitedly: "Really? There are still cabbages to eat!"

These words made Jing Xian silent.

She had been locked up in the cellar her whole life, and Mrs. Zhou was afraid she would die, so sometimes she would come down to save face. Sometimes, after beating her, the fool would bring down a bowl of cabbage for her to eat.

But how come these two kids in front of me have never even eaten cabbage?

Shang Nanchen also heard this and his face looked very ugly.

Jing Xian and he looked at each other, and neither of them said anything. Jing Xian deliberately changed the subject, "So do you two want to eat pig's feet tonight? Or do you want to eat cabbage?"

"Pig's feet!"

Tiedan said loudly.

Fusheng's baby voice was so excited that it trembled: "Mom, eat pig's feet, pig's feet!"

Who would eat vegetables when there is meat!

Shang Nanchen looked much better, and went to the yard to get a lot of firewood and put it at the door of the west room. When Jingxian needed firewood, she didn't need to go outside to get it, she could just take it from inside the room.

In winter, there is not much work to do at home.

Shang Nanchen went to the army. Before leaving, Jing Xian said, "Come back early in the evening."

"Know."

A deep male voice was heard, followed by the sound of a door closing in the yard.

Zhang Liansheng happened to come out right after Shang Nanchen. He saw Shang Nanchen coming out with a sullen face and guessed that Shang Nanchen might have said that on purpose. They probably had a quarrel when they got home, otherwise he wouldn't have such a look on his face.

Shang Nanchen went directly to the logistics department when he arrived at the unit, came out from the logistics department, and went out again.

It's about time.

Jing Xian stood up, took out the almost cooked pig's feet, and took out the soybeans that had been soaked overnight, and put them in the pot to stir-fry. Finally, she added soy sauce to color it, and poured in the soup to start simmering over medium heat.

The aroma wafted out, and Fusheng held his round belly and sighed like a little adult: "Oh, Mom, what should I do?"

Jing Xian was startled and asked with concern: "Are you feeling unwell?"

Fusheng shook his head, looked at her with aggrieved eyes, and said in a baby voice: "The pig's feet stewed with soybeans are delicious, but what should I do if I can't eat it anymore?"

Jing Xian: “…”

Tiedan also said in great distress: "Me too! I never thought that there would be a day when I couldn't even eat delicious food!"

Jing Xian wanted to laugh at first, but she felt so heartbroken when she heard this.

"It's okay. Mom will buy some hawthorns tomorrow and make hawthorn cakes for you. If you eat some hawthorn cakes every day, you can eat more." Jing Xian was afraid that the two children would eat hawthorn cakes desperately, so she said seriously, "Don't eat too much hawthorn cake in one meal. Eating too much will not help. Don't eat it secretly by yourselves, or you will get sick and can't eat anything."

The two children were frightened, wrote it down carefully, and followed it obediently.

Just do it!

Jing Xian thought there was nothing to do, so she took the two children out to help digest their food.

When we arrived at the grocery store, we saw people selling hawthorns.

She came back with a bag.

Many people looked at her as if she were a fool.

Only the two kids beside her were extremely happy.

When she got home and saw the door was open, she hurried into the yard and saw Shang Nanchen carrying a stove. When Jing Xian saw the stove, her eyes lit up immediately.

"You bought them all?" Jing Xian was overjoyed.

She is still worried that there are not enough pots.

Shang Nanchen said, "I got it this afternoon. Oh, and there's this thing, do you want it?"

Jing Xian turned around and saw that it was a clay pot. She said with satisfaction, "This is great!"

Shang Nanchen raised the corners of his lips slightly, took the clay pot into the house, washed it clean, and placed it on the stove in the west room for her.

"I've washed it for you, can I just leave it here?"

Jing Xian said, "Okay."

"A soldier from the logistics department will come to deliver a truckload of coal in a little while." Shang Nanchen pointed to the most dilapidated room in the room and said, "Will we put it there when the time comes?"

"Okay, leave it there!"

Anyway, she just uses it to stew things, so coal would be better, but if not, charcoal would be fine.

In the evening, we had pig's trotters stewed with soybeans, and the two children ate it with relish.

Even Shang Nanchen was satisfied with the meal.

I have nothing to do in the winter nights, so I go to bed early after dinner.

Go to bed early and wake up early.

When Shang Nanchen got up and went to the troops, Jing Xian also woke up. Shang Nanchen helped her light the fire.

I put some hot water in the pot, not much, and it boiled quickly.

She took out an enamel pot, put some sugar in it, took out an egg and beat it in it, then poured boiling hot water into it.

"Drink some egg water before you go."

Jing Xian said it as a matter of course, but Shang Nanchen didn't drink it himself. Instead, he passed it to Jing Xian: "You drink first."

Jing Xian didn't refuse and took a sip while it was hot.

"From now on, drink some egg water every morning before leaving."

Shang Nanchen was holding an enamel pot, drinking egg water, but his eyes never left Jing Xian. His gaze was too scorching, and Jing Xian couldn't pretend she didn't see it. She just tried not to look at him.

Shang Nanchen took the initiative to wash the jar after drinking.

"I'll cook, you come back early to eat." Jing Xian said before he left.

"good."

Shang Nanchen put on his military coat and hat and went out.

When I got to the door, I ran into Zhang Liansheng.

Zhang Liansheng had obviously just gotten up and washed his face casually before coming out. He saw Shang Nanchen and found that Shang Nanchen was particularly energetic. He was obviously the same person, still the same as before, but he just felt different from usual.

He couldn't tell what was different.

"Good morning." Shang Nanchen took the initiative to greet.

Zhang Liansheng took two quick steps, grabbed his military coat, and said, "It's so cold this morning!"

"A little bit." Shang Nanchen said this, but he didn't look cold at all.

"You're not cold?" Zhang Liansheng was envious. "Young people are just full of energy!"

Shang Nanchen said: "When I got up in the morning, Comrade Xiao Jing made me a bowl of egg water and insisted that I drink it before coming out. I am sweating all over now, and I don't feel cold at all."

Zhang Liansheng: “…”

He said something was wrong and that the guy had been waiting for him here for a long time.

"Your comrade Xiao Jing is very good to you!"

Shang Nanchen said: "They treat me just average, but they treat the two children better than I do. I cook for them as a favor."

“…”

Zhang Liansheng looked at the black-faced King Yan, who could not do anything with a single blow, and felt that he should not say too much.

On the way to the troops, Zhang Liansheng listened to Shang Nanchen bragging about his wife all morning and was filled with anger.

When he came back for breakfast, Zhang Liansheng thought the matter was over.

Unexpectedly, Shang Nanchen hurried home and urged him, "Captain Zhang, why are you so slow?"

"What's the point of running so fast? Do you think you can have a hot meal when you get back?" Zhang Liansheng swore that he really didn't cooperate with Shang Nanchen on purpose.

Shang Nanchen raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and said with a reserved yet impatient look: "Before I left this morning, Comrade Xiao Jing reminded me to come back early."
