After bidding farewell to Captain Luo, Gu Sheng returned home contentedly. Zhan Aiping looked at him and shook her head: "Brother, take it easy."
"I'm really worried that you won't be used to it later."
Gu Sheng hugged her from behind: "Don't worry, I'm used to it. I'll go wash vegetables and cook for my wife now."
Zhan Aiping took the initiative to kiss him: "Go ahead."
In the evening, I ate the food cooked by my father again. The sweet and sour pork and the glutinous rice balls were very delicious. I ate one more bowl of rice than usual because the rice cooked by Zhan Aiping was not enough.
Comrade Xiao Zhan frowned: "You guys with the surname Gu all dislike the food I cook?"
This kind of differential treatment is so infuriating!
Little Tangyuan said: "Mom, my last name is Xiao."
Her name is Xiao Tangyuan.
Pot-Boiled Pork: "Silly, your last name is Gu."
Gu Sheng: "Wife, you also ate an extra bowl of rice."
Comrade Xiao Zhan, whose cooking skills were crushed, felt very upset. Although the food her husband cooked was indeed better than hers, she still felt upset.
She worked hard to practice cooking skills for two lifetimes, but in the end she was still not as good as Gu Sheng, who had only three years of cooking experience.
Crushed by the enemy.
He is now the head of a regiment, and a higher-ranking official can crush people with great power.
"A brother shouldn't call his sister a fool."
Zhan Aiping took the two children to wash dishes. The two little guys are now very keen on helping adults and want to take part in everything. Gu Sheng and Zhan Aiping are also patient and take them to sweep the floor, mop the floor, wash dishes and wash handkerchiefs.
—As long as I hear my parents’ compliments, I won’t feel tired no matter how much housework I do.
Gu Sheng kissed his daughter's face and praised her, "You washed it very clean. Dad will make you egg fried rice tomorrow."
Little Tangyuan sat obediently on the stool, looked up and said, "Dad, I'm very good. I want to eat egg fried rice."
Gu Sheng said: "Don't scribble on the table. Mom has prepared white paper and a paintbrush for you. Don't get your scribbles on the bed sheets either."
Little Tangyuan nodded obediently.
—even though her sheets were no longer presentable.
Zhan Aiping was having a headache when washing the sheets for her daughter. The little brat slept alone and painted everywhere with a paintbrush, making the sheets colorful, which was a headache.
You know, in order to celebrate the two little kids sleeping alone, Zhan Aiping and Gu Sheng prepared brand new bed sheets for the children.
The new bed sheets were stained with color, and Comrade Xiao Zhan was heartbroken because they were new sheets.
What made Zhan Aiping even more heartbroken was that she discovered that her daughter Xiao Tangyuan was not good at painting but loved drawing. Although she looked like Gu Sheng, she did not inherit Gu Sheng's unique talent for painting.
Could it be that the daughter is herself in disguise as "Gu Sheng"
The second sister-in-law sent a lot of comic books to Xiao Tangyuan, but they were all cut up by this little spendthrift girl. Zhan Aiping would not let her daughter touch the scissors alone. When Gu Sheng was recuperating, he took this little spendthrift girl with him to cut comic books, and she cut up all the comic books in the house.
A new room was prepared for her, little Tangyuan's room... and she drew all over it with scribblings.
Zhan Aiping felt like she was having a nightmare when she went in, but her daughter wasn't afraid at all and was so happy that she forgot everything else.
Zhan Aiping said, "Don't scribble. Mom will prepare some old newspapers for you. Mom will buy some white paper. Draw on the white paper."
Many people use waste newspapers for other things, such as pasting walls or wrapping pickled vegetables. However, since this is still a sensitive time, it is easy for important figures to appear on newspapers, so it is best not to scribble on their photos.
Little Tangyuan was very honest: "Mom and Dad, I definitely won't scribble. I also want to buy some colored pencils."
But she was young, her brain couldn't remember, and her hands couldn't control themselves, so there was nothing she could do.
Zhan Aiping said, "Buy more when you run out of them."
The elder brother, Guo Bao Rou, suggested: "If your sister does something wrong, let mom cook for her."
Little Tangyuan covered his face: "I don't want it!"
Zhan Aiping: “?!”
Is this still her biological son or daughter
"Gu Sheng, take care of your two children!"
"I'll take care of it, I'll take care of it." Gu Sheng gave her a calming look. He turned to look at the two kids and said with a smile, "You two are dreaming. If you do something wrong, you can still have your mother cook for you? If you do something wrong, you can only eat the fried radish and potatoes that your father bought from the cafeteria."
The brother and sister, Sweet and Sour Pork and Little Tangyuan, sat together and huddled together, all showing an expression of "no, no".
After sending the two children to take a bath and go back to their room to sleep, Zhan Aiping returned to her room, undid her hair, and let her jet-black hair fall on her shoulders. Gu Sheng built a new dressing table for her. The round mirror on the dressing table reflected her beautiful face.
Ever since her younger brother complained about her lack of femininity last time, Comrade Xiao Zhan has been paying more attention to her image. She made her own skin care cream, trimmed her eyebrows, put on some lip balm, and dressed herself up beautifully.
When she first got married, she also took good care of herself, but as time went by, she became lazy and only worked for three days and rested for two days...
Now I am in a good mood to dress myself up. I have to say that keeping the house tidy and dressing myself up beautifully can really make people feel good.
—Except for the two stinky brats.
"When children reach the age of three or four, they are indeed the age that even dogs despise. Your son hasn't had any problems yet, but your daughter has a big problem." As soon as Gu Sheng entered the room, Zhan Aiping told him this serious issue.
"It's okay for her to just scribble, but she gets up early in the morning to practice her voice—" Zhan Aiping rubbed her eyebrows, thinking about this little troublemaker.
Gu Sheng smiled and said, "This shows that she is your biological daughter. She is cut from the same mold as you."
"I met Captain Luo from next door today. Luckily he didn't come to me to complain." Maybe Captain Luo didn't think about it.
Zhan Aiping: “…”
"I think your son has a big problem too." Zhan Aiping discovered that this little sweet and sour pork was self-righteous and gave random ideas every day. He had his own opinions... and she didn't know where these ideas came from.
"Look at your son and daughter. They are picky eaters, spoiled, and pretentious!" Zhan Aiping was very puzzled when she heard about this. She sat in Gu Sheng's arms and asked in confusion, "Obviously, neither of us are picky eaters, but why are your son and daughter so difficult to serve?"
"You actually dislike the food your mother cooks."
Zhan Aiping’s cooking skills are not bad, her food is just average and delicious, but her son and daughter actually complained that it was not tasty.
They also said whoever did something wrong would have to eat the food cooked by their mother! They were a pair of rebellious children.
Gu Sheng kissed her forehead and said, "They are just talking. They still eat the food you cook."
"I still eat the same food in the nursery."
"Relax."
Zhan Aiping: "From now on, if any of you makes me angry, our whole family will eat in the cafeteria, and we will eat the vegetarian radishes in the cafeteria."
"Okay, okay." Gu Sheng laughed, "We'll eat vegetarian radishes, and I'll make other dishes for you. I can't bear to see my wife suffer."
"That's better than right." Zhan Aiping was lying on the bed, thinking to herself that she had been waiting for the day when the whole family would sit at the same table and she would be the only one enjoying the delicious food.
Gu Sheng got on the bed and hugged her: "Don't think about the child in the room, it's just the two of us."
Gu Sheng hugged his sweet and soft wife comfortably. He felt refreshed and nothing could disturb his good mood.
"Wife, these days are so happy. We have finally sent those two little cubs away."
Zhan Aiping hugged his neck and said, "If you feel that it's too free, I'll give birth to two more children for you."
"No more." Gu Sheng shook his head, "You still think these two are not enough?"
Zhan Aiping looked at him with a smile: "When I first came here, didn't you say that I was the mother of three children?"
"I thought you had the ambition to be the father of three children, but I didn't expect you to be so easily satisfied."
Gu Sheng: "...Are you serious?"
Zhan Aiping lay on her back, touching Gu Sheng's handsome face. Thinking that he had no children in his previous life, she wanted to give birth to one or two more for him so that when they were old, they would have many children and grandchildren.
"Well, I'll give you another one."
Gu Sheng took a deep breath and said, "Wait until these two little guys grow up. Our children will make us worry."
Although he's smart and doesn't cause much trouble, he's still a cause for concern.
Zhan Aiping said: "I'll give birth to another little Zongzi for you."
"Whether it's a boy or a girl, calling her 'Little Zongzi' sounds good."
Gu Sheng: "?!!! There's no sign of the child yet, and you've even thought of a name?"
"Pot-fried pork, small glutinous rice balls, and now a small zongzi..." Gu Sheng pondered the children's names, "The nicknames of our children sound really thick and solid."
The sweet and sour pork has skin, the small glutinous rice balls have skin, and the small rice dumplings are wrapped in a thick layer of skin.
"Yes, I don't know whether it will be a sweet or salty rice dumpling."
Gu Sheng said: "I only eat sweet rice dumplings, not salty ones."
Zhan Aiping: "I like to eat salty rice dumplings with chestnut barbecued pork."
Gu Sheng: “…”
"Don't talk about this late at night. It makes you hungry."
Zhan Aiping thought about it and agreed: "I don't know how those big elbows and big plate chickens in their family live on weekdays. Aren't they hungry after shouting like this?"
Nowadays, everyone has little oil and meat to eat, so the pig's trotters, elbows and big plate of chicken are so tempting.
The pickled fish and sweet and sour fish in Shen Liqing's family are okay, as there is no shortage of fish to eat nowadays. However, if the fish is not seasoned and does not use much oil, it will be very fishy and unpalatable.
Gu Sheng said: "Your family isn't hungry, so why are you worried about whether other families are hungry?"
Zhan Aiping: "They are all hard-core dishes."
She also wanted to eat fatty meat. At that time, pork was more expensive than beef. If the beef was not cooked carefully, the beef cooked by ordinary people would taste very tough. It would torture her cheeks and make her teeth ache.
But pork is different. Stewed pork is really tender and delicious.
"How about you also get two hard dishes?"
Zhan Aiping shook her head: "Forget it, I won't torture myself."
Aren’t you hungry after shouting that out
"You, you." Gu Sheng: "Last time, Lao Wang's comrade came over and asked about the children in your family compound. They ordered meat and fish. I thought they were ordering dishes in a restaurant. It's all because of you, Zhan Dapingping, who brought this up."
Zhan Aiping retorted: "What does it have to do with me? I didn't force anyone to change their name."
*
After Gu Sheng became the head of the group, many people came to congratulate the couple. Xie Wan, an old friend of Zhan Aiping who also grew up in the same compound, said she wanted to come to her house for dinner.
"Pingping, congratulations, you are now the wife of the group leader!"
Xie Wan is getting married. When Zhan Aiping got married three years ago, she was extremely surprised and said that they would get divorced within three years. Unexpectedly, they actually lived a happy life and even had two children.
Xie Wan came with her fiancé, and they were accompanied by Qin Lu, who also came to visit with her daughter.
