After Sheng Zexi agreed without hesitation, Gu Jia Ning gave him a thumbs up, unable to suppress the smile on her face.
Sheng Zexi looked at his charming little wife, almost entranced by her beauty.
His wife, she’s truly beautiful!
Though a bit silly.
This silly wife probably doesn’t know that he specifically went to learn cooking from a chef for her.
At that ti, after being injured and picked up by Gu Jia Ning, staying at the Gu Family’s house, he gradually fell for her, even though he left without confessing due to his physical infertility.
Upon returning, he wanted to try and stop thinking about Gu Jia Ning, but once the heart has moved, that slender figure becos hauntingly unforgettable and grows deeper, making it impossible to stop.
After struggling and hesitating for half a year, Sheng Zexi finally decided to give himself a chance.
Back then, he wanted to imdiately go to Huaihua Village and be by Gu Jia Ning’s side, but he couldn’t get leave, so he had to temporarily hold back.
Coincidentally, during a mission, he encountered a chef, rembering when the future mother-in-law previously ntioned that Gu Jia Ning was picky and greedy about food but didn’t like cooking.
She said she wanted to find her a husband who could cook.
Sheng Zexi thought, if he could cook delicious food, then when proposing, the success rate would be higher.
So, after helping out the chef significantly and giving him compensation, Sheng Zexi would go learn from the chef whenever he had ti outside of missions.
Not to ntion he was especially talented in this regard, plus his hard work, in the end, the chef even wanted to take him as a disciple and even wanted to marry off his granddaughter to him.
Sheng Zexi naturally turned it down, and upon learning he was doing it for a girl he liked, the chef gave him a thumbs up.
"To capture a woman’s heart, you must first capture her stomach. You have the thought and action, very good."
Back then, he also relied on his excellent cooking skills to win the most beautiful girl in the area around, now that girl has been his old companion for decades, supporting each other through half a lifeti.
"Jia Ning, are you there?"
While joyfully reminiscing, Sheng Zexi’s thoughts were suddenly interrupted by a call from outside.
"It must be Sister Shu Wan, I’ll go check." Gu Jia Ning recognized Zhang Shuwan’s voice and hurried out, opening the door.
As soon as she opened the door, she saw the smiling Zhang Shuwan, handing her a bowl.
"Jia Ning, you haven’t eaten yet, right? I just made a plate of stir-fried cabbage with preserved at, thought of bringing you a bowl."
In the bowl in front of her, cabbage was piled with a lot of preserved at, and the air was filled with a fragrant sll, showing that Zhang Shuwan’s cooking skills were also good.
"How can this be okay, Sister Shu Wan, keep it for yourself and Guoguo to eat." Gu Jia Ning knew, at was always rare, and the Northwest area where they lived was scarce in resources, how could she take others’ preserved at?
"Oh, Jia Ning, don’t decline, not ntioning you saved my Guoguo, just myself, I really like you, giving to you, I’m happy, so just accept it."
After declining a few tis, Gu Jia Ning still couldn’t refuse.
Thinking of sothing, Gu Jia Ning said: "How about this, Sister Shu Wan, co inside with ."
Hmm?
Zhang Shuwan was a bit puzzled, then was led by Gu Jia Ning towards the kitchen, before getting close, she could hear the commotion inside, and sll the fragrant aroma.
This seed like at being cooked too.
Following her into the kitchen, she imdiately saw a tall figure, wearing an apron, busy at the stove.
She looked closely, it turned out to be Sheng Zexi!
My goodness! Battalion Commander Sheng was cooking!
When Sheng Zexi looked up, he saw Zhang Shuwan, besides his wife, nodding and greeting her, "Sister Shu Wan."
"Hey."
"Brother Xi, my wife brought us stir-fried cabbage with preserved at, is the stir-fried rabbit at ready, please serve so."
Gu Jia Ning took her own bowl, poured out the stir-fried cabbage with preserved at Zhang Shuwan gave her, and handed the bowl to Sheng Zexi.
Sheng Zexi: Don’t say it, his stir-fried rabbit at was just ready.
So, Sheng Zexi took the bowl, ready to serve the rabbit at.
Since the wife had spoken, he wouldn’t be stingy, let alone reciprocity.
"No need, Jia Ning, Battalion Commander Sheng, really no need." Zhang Shuwan said hastily upon seeing this.
Gu Jia Ning wouldn’t let her refuse, although she wasn’t naturally generous, she understood the principle of reciprocity.
Moreover, she had a good impression of Zhang Shuwan’s family.
"Sister Shu Wan, you’ve just given us preserved at, how can you refuse what I’m giving you now?"
"If you refuse, then I won’t dare to accept your offerings in the future."
Saying this, Sheng Zexi had already served a bowl of rabbit at and handed it to Gu Jia Ning.
And Gu Jia Ning, without allowing refusal, handed the bowl full of at to Zhang Shuwan, escorting her as she walked out.
"Take it back, and let Guoguo and Lin Camp Commander taste the cooking of our Battalion Commander Sheng."
"I’m slling a good aroma, it should be nice."
Gu Jia Ning had said this much, Zhang Shuwan could only accept it.
Just felt Gu Jia Ning was losing out, she gave stir-fried cabbage with preserved at, mostly just one-third to one-fourth at, while the rabbit at given was completely full with at.
Zhang Shuwan felt Gu Jia Ning was genuinely good, this friend was worth making.
Just before leaving, Zhang Shuwan asked mysteriously drawing Gu Jia Ning aside: "Is it your Battalion Commander Sheng at ho doing the cooking?"
Gu Jia Ning blinked, "Yes, I don’t know how to cook, he said he likes to cook for ."
Zhang Shuwan: Goodness, it’s the first ti seeing a man who likes cooking.
Zhang Shuwan felt the Battalion Commander Sheng seed really in love with Jia Ning.
That scene just now, if others saw, they’d certainly be as amazed as her.
Until holding the bowl back ho, Zhang Shuwan hadn’t co to grips.
"Weren’t you sending food over? Why are you carrying it back?" Lin Xing and Guoguo had set the utensils waiting for her to return.
Looking up, they saw her still carrying the bowl, seemingly distracted by thoughts.
Zhang Shuwan imdiately snapped back, hurriedly put down the bowl and sat down.
"Look what this is?"
"This is rabbit at, Jia Ning gave it back to ."
"What? How can you take this!" Lin Xing frowned, this was too much rabbit at.
"I couldn’t help it, I couldn’t refuse. Jia Ning is a good person, in the future, I’ll think of her often after receiving anything." Zhang Shuwan wasn’t soone who likes to take advantage of others.
"Try it, see if this rabbit at tastes good or not?" Zhang Shuwan picked up a piece for Lin Xing.
As for Guoguo, since the rabbit at had chili, it was not suited for children to eat, Zhang Shuwan first rinsed it to remove so spice, then gave it to Guoguo.
Lin Xing casually picked it up to eat, upon entry, raised his eyes, don’t say it, it’s quite delicious, savory and suited, the spice increased appetite, and naturally, being at, who doesn’t love to eat at.
