Seeing Gu Xiuwu subconsciously put down his bowl and chopsticks and turn to run out the door, a smile flashed in Gu Hong's eyes.
But unexpectedly, when he was about to go out, Gu Xiuwu suddenly turned around and ran back.
Gu Hong frowned, "It's just a greeting, it's not a big deal. You don't have to refuse the benefits that are right in front of you just to distance yourself from me."
"No one will reveal information about the exam hall. If you try to find out on your own, it will take forever."
"I'm not trying to say no."
Gu Xiuwu's voice was a little low, "Thank you."
He said he was playing without even looking at Gu Hong's expression, and he was forbidden to rush outside, for fear that if he was a second slower, some jackals, tigers or leopards would catch up with him.
Gu Hong was stunned for a moment, then laughed and scolded: "This brat is being polite to his own father."
He stretched and rubbed his joints before picking up the dirty dishes and washing them.
The moment he turned around, Gu Hong was stunned and saw Shen Ningsi standing in front of him.
He hadn't seen Shen Ningsi at such a close distance for a long time. Although he had been well fed and well cared for during this period, Shen Ningsi didn't seem to gain any weight.
She was still pale, which made Gu Hong frown. With a physique like that, in troubled times, she would most likely be dead even without meeting any bad guys.
"Thank you, General."
Shen Ningsi missed the flash of heartache in Gu Hong's eyes, and she leaned over and bowed lightly.
"Even if these people came for potatoes, I'm afraid it's just a normal exchange of interests. Originally, these matters should have been the responsibility of Lord Fan Xing. I can't get anything from them at all."
"What happened in the exam hall is top secret. If the general hadn't spoken, these people would probably just tell themselves how to proceed with the exam and how to maintain their mental state and physical strength."
Gu Hong put down his bowl and chopsticks and wiped his hands on the towel beside him, then he quickly helped Shen Ningsi up, his eyes solemn.
"Gu, I've told you many times that my things are your things. I will treat you well. I just asked Gu Xiuwu for help. It's not a big deal. How can it be worth your sincere gratitude?"
Gu Hong was very happy that Shen Ningsi took the initiative to talk to him, but he didn't want to see Shen Ningsi being so polite to him.
"Being nice to you is what I should do. Why would I want you to come and apologize?"
Shen Ningsi took a deep breath, and the warmth that had just surged in his heart was now completely gone.
She knew that if she gave this man a little more sunshine, he might not be able to hold it back!
"Okay, I'm being sentimental. I have to thank you, okay? I should just see your efforts and not say anything or do anything, right?"
“…”
Gu Hong was stunned. He didn't know why Shen Ningsi's expression suddenly changed.
Watching the woman turn and leave, he looked back in confusion for Sanyazi.
"What did I say wrong?"
"..." San Yazi had a hard time saying anything. Even if he told Gu Hong the right thing to do, what would it matter? Men still do what they want.
"General, I've told you everything. You have to tell your wife what you did. How can she know if you don't tell her?"
Sanyazi continued, "Madam is someone who will always repay a favor. You should just listen to her gratitude. Besides, Madam is not willing to accept you as her husband yet. Telling her now that these are what you should do will be of no use."
"Why don't you try to make some requests to Madam, so that Madam won't feel guilty?"
Gu Hong was very skeptical about Sanyazi's idea, but it seemed that he had no other choice but to listen to Sanyazi's words.
Although he couldn't cook, Gu Hong had never refrained from doing any dirty or tiring work. He washed the dishes skillfully and then knocked on the door of Shen Ningsi's room.
"Gu, I have something to tell you."
The door was quickly opened. Shen Ningsi's expression was extremely cold. "General, if you come here to tell me that you should do anything for these children, then please go back."
"no."
Not angry because of Shen Ningsi's reaction, Gu Hong had already prepared for the cold face, and his voice was calm.
"For me, any sacrifice for my children is my due. But I just thought about it. They still haven't acknowledged me as their father, and you haven't acknowledged me as your husband. My sacrifices may seem like a burden to you."
"If you feel you can't repay me, just cook me a meal."
Gu Hong couldn't help but laugh. "The meal I'm talking about isn't something I'll eat with everyone like today. I want to eat something special, something only I've eaten."
Shen Ningsi looked at Gu Hong carefully, and she asked suspiciously, "Why did you suddenly figure it out?"
Gu Hong picked it up and thought to himself: San Yazi is really useful, he was right.
He pretended to be profound, "Isn't this slowly changing? Don't worry, I will become more and more in line with your requirements in the future."
Shen Ningsi felt relieved.
No matter how he figured it out, Gu Hong's request did make her feel a little relieved.
Gu Hong's selfless dedication only shows that the man is certain that their family will live together in the end.
According to Gu Hong's interpretation, even if they are unwilling, there is nothing they can do. As long as Gu Hong leaves a leeway, men may not force them.
Ana Shen couldn’t help but smile, “Don’t worry, General, this meal will actually satisfy you.”
It is not difficult to satisfy Gu Hong's tongue.
In this remote area, even spices are not used in cooking, so anything made casually will definitely surprise him.
Of course, she would not let Gu Hong suffer any loss. This meal was actually a famous dish that was rarely seen even in modern times.
After pondering the extremely complicated names of the dishes, Shen Ning thought: “General, please wait for me to prepare for a few days. I will inform you in advance when the time comes.”
Gu Hong raised his eyebrows, feeling even more satisfied knowing that the woman took this matter to heart.
He just noticed that Shen Ningsi was dressed as if to go out, and he frowned and said coldly.
"Didn't we finish explaining the planting methods yesterday? What are you going to do now?"
As soon as Gu Hong finished speaking, he felt San Yazi behind him poking his shoulder hard.
Gu Hong took a deep breath, and his cold tone softened a little.
"I'm not scolding you. I'm worried that your health hasn't recovered yet, and running back and forth will cause your condition to relapse!"
"Don't worry, General. I just want to see if the villagers are planting according to my method."
Knowing the other party's good intentions, she naturally spoke gently, "I'm just walking around the field. I don't talk, I don't work, and I certainly don't lift anything heavy."
