"Sister-in-law, you are too polite. Thank you for still thinking about us. There is no reason for us to despise you. What kind of person would you be?" Jian Shu said angrily.
Mrs. Zhao laughed heartily. "Okay, then you can take these cakes. Aren't you going to go shopping? Go ahead. I won't disturb you and will go back first. I'll come and chat with you when you're free."
"Okay, I'm busy at home today, so I won't invite you in for now. I'll wait a couple of days until everything is tidied up at home and then I'll invite you in. I just arrived and I'm not familiar with our family compound yet, so I'll have to trouble you to introduce it to me then." Jian Shu said politely.
Now that she had moved in, she had to slowly get acquainted with the new environment. It was better to find someone familiar to ask around than to wander around aimlessly. And Sister Zhao was undoubtedly a good candidate.
The first impression is also good, you can try to get in touch with it first.
Sister Zhao agreed very readily, "Okay! Don't worry, I've been with our family for many years. I know everyone and everything, big and small. Just ask me when the time comes. In a few days, go out with me a few times, and I guarantee you'll get familiar with it quickly."
"Then I would like to thank my sister-in-law in advance." Jian Shu replied with a smile.
"Don't be polite. Now that we are in the family compound, we are all one family. Just tell us if you have any problems. We will definitely help if we can." Mrs. Zhao waved her hand generously.
Jian Shu nodded in agreement, then looked at the plate in his hand and said, "Sister-in-law, wait a minute. I'll make room for you."
"No rush, aren't you guys out for something? It's the same if you send it to me when you're free."
"It's okay, it will be quick. It won't take a little while." After saying that, Gu Mingjing took the bowl from Jianshu's hand, opened the door and entered the yard.
Jianshu continued to stand in the yard and chat with Mrs. Zhao.
"I didn't expect that Captain Gu, who looks cold, is actually so caring to his wife. If other people saw this scene, their jaws would probably drop." Mrs. Zhao smacked her lips, a little surprised.
"Cold?" Jian Shu asked doubtfully. Are you sure you're talking about Gu Mingjing? He has nothing to do with her, right?
Foul-mouthed, clingy, mean-spirited, and scheming... these words are the most suitable for him.
"Yes, everyone in the army knows that Commander Gu is hard to approach. Many girls who like him have been scared away by his cold eyes, and those who haven't been scared away have never received a good face from him. Back then, at the hospital..." Sister Zhao spoke eloquently, but halfway through, she suddenly realized something was wrong. How could she mention other female comrades in front of someone else's wife? This was inappropriate.
"But those are things of the past. Now that Captain Gu has married, how could he treat her the same way as he treats others? Not to mention, Comrade Jian, you are so beautiful. Whoever marries you will have to take good care of you. Even I like you when I see you." Sister Zhao kept making excuses, and finally couldn't help but say what was in her heart.
Jian Shu couldn't help laughing. "Sister-in-law, please stop praising me. If you praise me a few more times, I'll be overwhelmed."
As for the female comrades mentioned earlier, she didn't take them to heart. After all, Gu Mingjing had already explained these matters to her and they had all been resolved.
Who doesn't have a past? Besides, in this kind of thing, both of them are inseparable and need followers.
"Hahahaha——" Sister Zhao was immediately amused by her words.
"What are you talking about so happily?" At this time, Gu Mingjing came out with the washed dishes.
"You're praising your wife for her beauty." Mrs. Zhao joked with a smile.
Gu Mingjing handed the things to Jian Shu and said as a matter of course: "Yes, my wife is the most beautiful."
Mrs. Zhao was choked. She had never expected him to give this answer.
Jianshu couldn't help but want to cover his face. Gu Mingjing, ah Gu Mingjing, your aloof personality has collapsed, you know? Although this aloofness is pretended.
Seeing the shocked expression on Sister Zhao's face, she quickly changed the subject, "Sister-in-law, I'll return the plate to you. Take these candies back home and give them to the children at home."
There were some White Rabbit candies, fruit hard candies, and a few chocolates on the plate.
"No, no, I can't have this. Take it back." Mrs. Zhao said with a look of rejection.
Although she didn't recognize the packaging of some of the items, she knew they were worth a lot. The remaining White Rabbit and candies were not cheap either, so she was too embarrassed to accept them. She only gave them a few cakes, but took so many things back. If someone didn't know her, they would think she was deliberately trying to take advantage of her.
Jian Shu stuffed the gift into her hand without allowing it to be refused, and said with a smile, "When we got married before, we lived far away and didn't have the chance to invite everyone over to join in the fun. Now, you must accept this wedding candy."
Having said that, how could Sister Zhao refuse? She stopped being coy and accepted it. "Okay, I'll share in your joy."
"Okay, I've kept you guys busy for so long, go get busy, I'm going back now."
Jian Shu nodded and said, "Sister-in-law, take your time. We can talk again when you have some free time in a couple of days."
Mrs. Zhao waved her hand and said, "Don't send me off. Go get busy too."
After saying that, he walked quickly towards home.
After everyone left, Gu Mingjing locked the gate and left with Jianshu.
"Mrs. Zhao is quite welcoming." Jian Shu pulled Gu Mingjing's sleeve and pulled out a weed to play with casually.
"She is very warm-hearted. After the house application was approved, she invited me to her house for dinner when I came here to clean and renovate the house." Gu Mingjing nodded in agreement.
"What's going on at home?" Jianshu asked.
Since we are neighbors, we will inevitably interact with each other in the future, so it’s not a bad thing to get to know each other better.
"Captain Zhao is a veteran of the army. He and his wife have been here for many years and have four children, three sons and one daughter. Although Captain Zhao earns a high salary, I heard that his father back home is in poor health and has to send money back every month for medical treatment and medicine. The children at home are also at an age where they are already supporting their father financially. The burden is a bit heavy, and life is a bit tight."
"But the couple are nice people. Captain Zhao has always been very low-key, and Sister Zhao is also famous for her efficiency. She is good at both housework and outside. She has taught her children well and they are quite polite. If you get along well, you can spend more time together." Gu Mingjing gave a brief introduction.
Jian Shu nodded and said, "Let's see what happens first and talk about it later."
Whether they would get along or not would depend on how long they spent together. She wasn't in a rush anyway.
Gu Mingjing didn't say anything else.
Although he hoped that Jianshu could find someone to talk to so that she wouldn't be too lonely when he was not around, the choice was hers, and her happiness was the most important thing.
