Here, the comrades and family mbers who ca to Sheng Zexi’s housewarming watched as Sheng Zexi brought out dish after dish, noticing that almost half of them were at dishes, and quite a lot of at at that. They couldn’t help but gasp.
This couple, Sheng Zexi and his wife, are treating them too generously.
Thinking about the small gifts they brought, they all felt that their gifts were too light.
Especially the children, who hardly know how often they get to eat at in a year, especially in the cold winter when at is even scarcer. Now, seeing so many at dishes, their eyes lit up, almost drooling.
Over here, Sheng Zexi also ca out with Gu Jia Ning.
Among the people present, aside from Zhang Shuwan’s family and Sister in law Yu, who knew what Gu Jia Ning looked like, all the others, whether they were Sheng Zexi’s comrades or their families, had only heard rumors about Gu Jia Ning in recent days.
Firstly, there were rumors that she was an ugly woman who designed to marry Battalion Commander Sheng.
Then, the story shifted yesterday, saying she was a great beauty, just with lavish tastes and a tendency to be extravagant.
The rumors were so varied that they didn’t know what to believe.
Now, at last, they would see for themselves.
Today was the day for her to make her debut in front of her husband’s comrades and families. Thinking back to the recent rumors saying she was ugly, Gu Jia Ning had deliberately dressed up today.
She wanted to look stunning, to let everyone know she wasn’t an ugly woman.
And to give Brother Xi so face.
In fact, just as Gu Jia Ning expected, as she ca out with Sheng Zexi, everyone burst into admiration as soon as they saw her.
Beautiful, truly beautiful!
Each and every one of them was watching with wide eyes.
Even the children, who were driven by the allure of at, averted their gazes from the dishes and turned to Gu Jia Ning, telling their mothers beside them, "This sister is really beautiful, even prettier than the fairy sister I saw in pictures."
Their mother laughed, "That’s not a sister, you should call her aunty, but yes, aunty is indeed beautiful."
A true beauty, standing with the Yumian Battalion Commander, they were truly a handso couple, made for each other!
Camp Commander Cui directly gave Sheng Zexi a thumbs up after he sat down, "You and your wife are truly a perfect match, a union made in heaven!"
Deputy Battalion Commander Zhou Xuan also chid in, "Previously, I always wondered why Battalion Commander Sheng, who never wanted to get married, suddenly did. Now I understand."
"It’s called hero succumbing to beauty."
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone laughed heartily.
Gu Jia Ning and Sheng Zexi exchanged a glance, an understanding lingering in their eyes.
Watching this scene, how could anyone believe those outside rumors that Sheng Zexi had been tricked or forced?
This marriage, this beauty, was undoubtedly sothing Sheng Zexi himself had actively pursued.
Gu Jia Ning was sowhat shy, while Sheng Zexi, with his thick skin, said, "Of course, my wife is beautiful."
"I also think my wife and I are the perfect match!"
"Haha."
Amidst the laughter, the al comnced.
"Everyone, dig in, don’t stand on ceremony."
"Today, let’s finish all these dishes."
As the al began, the atmosphere beca even more lively. With Sheng Zexi’s encouragent, everyone was a bit bolder and relaxed, enjoying the food.
Gu Jia Ning also ate to her heart’s content. During the al, Sheng Zexi didn’t forget to serve her the tasty bits, drawing teasing from those present.
In just over half an hour, three tables, with ten full dishes, were completely cleaned out.
Both adults and children had satisfied expressions on their faces.
After they finished eating, Gu Jia Ning gave Sheng Zexi a aningful look.
Sheng Zexi instantly understood, thinking his young wife had forgotten about it. He was surprised she hadn’t.
Gu Jia Ning: Of course I didn’t forget, this involves my points. I only have a pitiful 4 points now, it’s too few.
Sheng Zexi glanced at everyone, cleared his throat, and said, "Most of today’s dishes were prepared by Sister in law Zhang and Sister in law Yu. My wife felt that since it’s our housewarming feast, she shouldn’t just sit by and do nothing."
"Ningning has so dical skills, so she thought she might as well take this opportunity to check everyone’s pulse and do a quick health checkup, as a small gift for everyone."
After Sheng Zexi finished speaking, everyone exchanged glances but did not refuse.
Because Sheng Zexi had ntioned this matter to them earlier.
Although, having them check their pulse and health just like that wasn’t necessarily seen in the best light.
But, it was a kind gesture from them.
Moreover, having just enjoyed a aty feast, they couldn’t reasonably refuse.
"Alright then, let’s check the pulse."
"Sister in law, of course, not only is beautiful but also kind-hearted, saving us the trip and expenses of going to the hospital."
They weren’t clear about Gu Jia Ning’s dical skills, but that didn’t stop them from cooperating.
"I’ll go first." So, after Sheng Zexi cleared out a table for Gu Jia Ning to sit at, Camp Commander Cui stepped forward first, extending his hand.
Even though Camp Commander Cui was more than ten years older than Sheng Zexi, they had a great relationship.
Otherwise, he would not have been invited today for the housewarming feast.
Camp Commander Cui already had a positive impression of Sheng Zexi and his wife. Hearing earlier from his wife about how Gu Jia Ning left a big bowl of at for his child made him think even better of her.
Gu Jia Ning didn’t expect everyone to be so cooperative, so she boldly took Camp Commander Cui’s pulse while also activating the scan with her eyes.
"System, bind Camp Commander Cui as Patient No. 3."
[Ding, Cui Bin has been bound as Patient No. 3, the scan is complete, and results can be viewed by clicking.]
[Ding, successfully treating Patient No. 3 can earn you a reward: 40 points, 100 jin of fine rice, and 100 jin of enriched flour.]
Listening to the sound in her mind, Gu Jia Ning’s eyes lit up. Indeed, binding a patient and successfully treating them would yield rewards.
Not only were there points rewards, but also food rewards, which was fantastic!
And even if no treatnt was done, just entering space to learn and passing tests would also earn points, albeit not as many, but they add up.
Without needing to look at the system’s scan results, Gu Jia Ning could use her eyes to scan, revealing issues and even marking them with arrows.
While Gu Jia Ning was taking the pulse, everyone around them quieted down.
Honestly, everyone was curious whether Gu Jia Ning really had dical skills or if it was sothing else.
They watched as Gu Jia Ning checked Camp Commander Cui’s pulse, moving her hand away shortly after.
Gu Jia Ning looked at Camp Commander Cui and said, "Camp Commander Cui, you have several health issues, such as stomach problems and occasional migraines..."
Camp Commander Cui and Sister in law Yu exchanged a look, and she was indeed right.
But soon, Gu Jia Ning shifted the topic, "But these are all minor issues. Camp Commander Cui, your most significant health problem is with your calf."
Saying this, Gu Jia Ning had Camp Commander Cui stand up, and pointed to a spot on his right calf with her pen.
