This gratitude, absolutely cannot be forgotten.
Qin Tian did not stay long, and left.
When Sheng Ze Xi returned at noon, Gu Jia Ning told him about Qin Tian's visit.
In the afternoon, taking advantage of Sheng Ze Xi being home.
Lin Xing came with his wife and daughter. Today was the previously agreed-upon day to become adoptive relatives.
Guo Guo was well-educated by Zhang Shuwan, respectfully offered tea to Gu Jia Ning and Sheng Ze Xi, and called them adoptive father and adoptive mother.
Sheng Ze Xi and Gu Jia Ning accepted, drank the tea, and each gave Guo Guo a red envelope.
Thus, this adoptive kinship was established.
This time, Lin Xing also sincerely expressed his gratitude to Gu Jia Ning, both for saving Guo Guo initially and for helping his wife conceive a child; this gratitude cannot be forgotten.
So this time, Lin Xing also brought many things, asking Sheng Ze Xi and Gu Jia Ning to definitely accept them.
Gu Jia Ning also knew that if they didn't accept, they would definitely feel bad, so she accepted.
Finally, the two families gathered together, ate a meal, and chatted for a long time before Lin Xing's family of three left.
"Jia Ning, in a couple of days, do you want to go to the county town to stroll around?" Zhang Shuwan asked before leaving.
Spring is here, and the heavy snow sealing the mountains is about to end.
These past two days, the snow has stopped falling.
The military region has organized people to start clearing snow everywhere, but although it's not snowing, the temperature is very low.
However, the temperature has still risen somewhat as the days have gone by.
In a couple of days, the temperature might be even higher than now, and it won't be so cold.
At that time, the procurement department of the military region will drive to the county town to purchase supplies, and if any military wives want to go, they will also be taken along.
That's why Zhang Shuwan started inviting Gu Jia Ning.
Gu Jia Ning also quite likes strolling around, and many foods are almost finished with the arrival of spring, so she needs to replenish them.
"Okay, then let's go together in two days." That day, the training class is also resting.
"Alright."
In the blink of an eye, it was the morning two days later.
When Gu Jia Ning woke up, the man beside her was still gone. After getting dressed and washing up, she went to the kitchen, lifted the lid of the steamer on the stove, and saw porridge and side dishes kept warm inside, as well as a bowl of goat's milk and an egg.
This goat's milk, Sheng Ze Xi heard that drinking it is good for pregnant women and children, so he specifically ordered it.
It was ordered from the military region and the nearby villagers. Some families in the family compound also ordered it. As long as there are orders, the villagers will deliver it to the military region in the morning.
It's just more expensive, and not every family in the military region can afford it.
However, Sheng Ze Xi didn't mind. He wasn't short of money, and as long as it was good for Ningning and the child, he was willing to do it.
Gu Jia Ning first drank the goat's milk. It was warm, but she heard that it was sterilized at a high temperature before delivery, and the taste was also well-processed, without any strong smell. After drinking the goat's milk, she ate the small bowl of porridge with side dishes and ate the egg.
Perhaps it was because of the pregnancy, although her pregnancy wasn't showing yet, and there were no other reactions like morning sickness.
However, Gu Jia Ning's appetite increased.
In the past, she could eat this amount twice, but now, it was just right.
But Gu Jia Ning also thought it was understandable, after all, there were two little lives quietly developing in her belly.
After eating, the bowls and chopsticks were left aside, Gu Jia Ning didn't wash them.
Sheng Ze Xi repeatedly told her to absolutely not do any housework; leave them, he could do them when he came back.
Before she was pregnant, Gu Jia Ning could still help with some small things she could do. Although she didn't know much, she could at least help out. But since becoming pregnant, Sheng Ze Xi didn't let her touch anything.
This life of being pampered is truly happy.
Sheng Ze Xi wasn't very agreeable to going out today, but he also felt that he couldn't confine Gu Jia Ning to the house once she was pregnant, so he ultimately agreed.
He just told her to pay attention to safety.
After eating and resting for a while, Gu Jia Ning heard Zhang Shuwan calling from next door, asking if she was ready and could go out.
After all, the military region procurement department has a unified time for departure to purchase supplies.
"I'm ready, I'll be right there." Gu Jia Ning replied.
Gu Jia Ning took a hat and put it on, then took a red scarf, wrapped it around her neck, and covered her face.
It wasn't her bragging, but her face, once appearing in the county town, would definitely attract a lot of attention. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, it's better to cover her face.
Although she loves beauty, she also really dislikes trouble.
Hopefully this trip will go smoothly, otherwise Xi Ge probably won't allow her to go out alone afterward.
Soon, Gu Jia Ning locked the door and went to the county town with Zhang Shuwan in the car.
On the way, Gu Jia Ning saw other military wives. Perhaps because of the heavy snow sealing the mountains, these past two months kept the military wives confined to the military region. Therefore, this time, it's rare to be able to go to the county town, and everyone wants to go.
Although Gu Jia Ning covered herself tightly this time, the occasionally exposed skin was still as white as snow.
And although she was wearing a coat, her excellent figure could still be vaguely seen.
Compared to before, Gu Jia Ning's popularity is much better than when she first came to the military region. Perhaps it's because people heard that she's taking classes at the medical training class and might become a doctor at the military region hospital, or perhaps it's because she's heard to have superb medical skills, not only treating Battalion Commander Cui, but also rumored to be able to help people get pregnant—though it's unknown if that's true.
In any case, on the car, the other military wives were very friendly and enthusiastic to Gu Jia Ning, talking a lot, even Zhang Shuwan had trouble getting a word in.
Gu Jia Ning is not a person who is good at socializing, especially with strangers. These military wives are strangers to her, so she wasn't that enthusiastic. Even so, it couldn't stop their overwhelming enthusiasm.
Until they arrived at the county town and got off the car with Zhang Shuwan, Gu Jia Ning breathed a sigh of relief.
When the other military wives asked where they were going to stroll and if they wanted to go together, Gu Jia Ning quickly found an excuse to refuse.
When the two of them reached a private place, Zhang Shuwan couldn't help but laugh, "Look at you, like you're facing a great enemy."
Gu Jia Ning smiled wryly, "I'm really not good at socializing."
And Gu Jia Ning also felt that there was no need to socialize like that. She felt that one or two close friends were enough, she didn't need more.
As for those superficial friends, she didn't want to make them; she felt it was purely a waste of time.
"Alright, then let's go, let's stroll around the county town first." Zhang Shuwan linked arms with Gu Jia Ning.
"Okay."
The two strolled and bought the things they needed, and before they knew it, it was noon.
"Let's go to the state-run restaurant to eat, it's right in front." Zhang Shuwan suggested.
"Okay." Gu Jia Ning agreed.
So, the two entered the state-run restaurant, each ordered a serving of dumplings, and because she needed to eat, Gu Jia Ning had to take off her scarf…
"
