The door of the earthen kiln oven was fashioned from a slab of wood. Upon opening this makeshift door, one would brush a layer of oil at the base of the oven before placing the bread dough directly into the belly of the beast. The wooden door would then be shut, leaving the dough to bake into a delightful treat.

anwhile, Gu Zi kept the other oven busy, using it to roast pork belly, corn, and tomatoes. The resulting oven-baked bread was a resounding success. Gu Zi quickly packed a box of the delicious bread, intending to share it with Su Shen at the pig farm.

In addition to the bread and roasted at and vegetables, Gu Zi also prepared a thermos of ginger-infused milk for Su Shen.

However, she encountered Su Shen, who was driving back from the city to the pig farm, halfway through her journey. Gu Zi didn’t pry into his business in the city, assuming it must be work-related or perhaps a secret mission of sorts.

She wasn’t the type to scrutinize a man’s every move, preferring to be a woman who flies kites rather than one who probes into others’ affairs.

With a light heart and a smile on her face, Gu Zi got into Su Shen’s car with Lele, and they headed to the pig farm together for a al.

Su Shen had initially planned to return to the pig farm to handle so matters before heading ho for lunch. But seeing the effort Gu Zi had put into preparing the al, he couldn’t let it go to waste. Without further ado, he drove back to the pig farm.

As the couple passed through the main hall, other won were also arriving to bring als to their n. The hall was bustling with activity, and upon seeing Gu Zi and Su Shen, many greeted them with a smile and a twinkle of gossip in their eyes.

The n who had seen Su Shen leave that morning were particularly amused. They noticed Su Shen carrying a separate thermos and couldn’t resist sharing the juicy tidbit with their wives.

“I told you Su Shen must have gone to see his wife this morning,” one man shared, “Jin Long didn’t believe and told us to keep quiet. Did you hear that? I just heard his wife say that she specially prepared what’s in that thermos for him.’

“It’s obvious that it’s a tonic soup his wife made for him,” another chid in, “But who would have thought that our strong leader would need such nourishnt? It seems Su Shen does have a soft spot after all. He must really cherish his wife! But our sister-in-law is indeed virtuous, taking such good care of him.”

“I heard that Su Shen had asked Jin Long to buy a lot of pigeons before. So, he’s been replenishing his health for a while now. He must not have had a proper rest and is probably overworked. Even such a robust man needs to recuperate in such a short ti. It seems n really shouldn’t overindulge!”

The murmuring among the crowd gradually softened, yet even the faintest whispers could spread like wildfire. Soon, the n and won in the hall were shaking their heads and sighing.

The won were more curious than anything else. Su Shen always appeared so restrained. Despite his handso features, he always maintained a cold, aloof deanor. They had even speculated privately that Su Shen might not be interested in won.

Yet, to their surprise, it appeared he was not only capable of passion but was also quite intense. They couldn’t help but feel a twinge of envy for Gu Zi, the woman who had managed to thaw Shen’s icy exterior.

The n, on the other hand, felt a sense of camaraderie. It turned out that Su Shen, who always seed so unattainable, was just like them after all.

No man could resist a beautiful woman, and it seed Su Shen was no exception. They even joked that Su Shen might have a stronger desire than them. After all, he had only been married for a short while and was already taking asures to improve his health. They speculated that he must have tried every position with his wife!

Jin Long, oblivious to the situation, wondered why everyone was suddenly discussing Su Shen’s personal matters.

He strolled into the center of the gossip storm, hands clasped behind his back, looking every bit the elder statesman, albeit with a touch of amusent. “Eat vour als,” he admonished the crowd, “Whv so much chatter? Can’t vour

wives’ cooking keep your mouths busy?”

Chastised by Jin Long’s words, the crowd feigned interest in other topics. So even began to flirt with their wives, much to Jin Long’s chagrin. He grumbled and walked away, feeling like the odd one out.

Damn it! Everyone else was paired up, flaunting their love right in front of him. Jin Long had never been bothered by his single status before, but seeing everyone else so blissfully in love made him feel a bit lonely.

To make matters worse, he was also burdened with Su Shen’s affairs. Where was Su Shen anyway? Couldn’t he have just gone ho to have lunch with his wife? Instead, he brought his wife and child to the office for lunch.. What nerve!
