"Yes, yes." Zhang Shuwan also nudged Gu Jia Ning's arm with her elbow, "Your Battalion Commander Sheng is so good to you."
Gu Jia Ning felt a little embarrassed, glared at her, and blushed, "Is your Battalion Commander Lin not good to you?"
Zhang Shuwan thought of Old Lin's usual sweetness towards her, and her face also flushed slightly.
Sheng Ze Xi carried all the dishes out. Three portions of dishes that Gu Jia Ning had separately served remained in the kitchen, including meat and vegetarian dishes.
Gu Jia Ning quietly told Zhang Shuwan and Sister-in-law Yu, "Sister Shuwan, Sister-in-law Yu, when you go back later, take one bowl each. You both should take them home."
Zhang Shuwan and Sister-in-law Yu did not expect Gu Jia Ning to leave dishes for them, and were both shocked.
Sister-in-law Yu quickly refused, "No, no, I only came to cook a few dishes. How can I take them home?"
This Jia Ning, she's too generous and too kind to others.
She's very easy to be taken advantage of.
"For you, it's just a few dishes, but for someone like me who can't cook, you've really helped me a lot. I don't care, I've already divided them, you definitely have to take them, otherwise I won't dare to ask for your help in the future."
Sister-in-law Yu was stunned, not knowing what to do.
Zhang Shuwan, however, said with an amused expression, "Sister-in-law Yu, let's accept them. Then, if we have extra things later, we can give them to Jia Ning."
After Zhang Shuwan said this, and Gu Jia Ning was sincerely asking them to accept, Sister-in-law Yu no longer refused. "Okay, then I'll take them."
Sister-in-law Yu and Battalion Commander Cui have five children, all of whom are of nursing age.
Today, they only brought one.
The remaining four were left at home.
If this large bowl of dishes could be taken home, the children would certainly be very happy, especially since there was a lot of meat. Their family has so many children, three older ones are still in school, Sister-in-law Yu has to take care of the children at home and cannot go out to work. The family relies on Battalion Commander Cui's salary alone, so they are truly struggling financially.
Especially since there will be another period of supply shortage. Sister-in-law Yu knows the hardship, so she advised Gu Jia Ning when she saw so many meat dishes earlier.
And now, she is also moved by Gu Jia Ning's special bowl of meat dishes.
Ningning is a sincere person.
Sister-in-law Yu made up her mind to get along well with Gu Jia Ning in the future, and if anyone dared to speak ill of Ningning, she would immediately defend her.
Gu Jia Ning is not stingy with her friends and family. As long as others are good to her, she will definitely reciprocate.
Zhang Shuwan and Sister-in-law Yu gave her a very good impression.
When Sheng Ze Xi came in again, Gu Jia Ning stuffed the remaining bowl of meat dishes into his hands and said, "Do you have a soldier named Xie Ze under you? Yesterday, he helped me push the cart and carry things when he returned from the market."
"I saw him, when he mentioned you, his eyes were full of admiration. He's a good person, and a helpful one."
"Take this bowl of meat dishes to him now, and then come back quickly."
Xie Ze?
After Gu Jia Ning mentioned it, Sheng Ze Xi did recall such a person. His memory is good, and he knows who his soldiers are and what they are like.
Xie Ze, that boy, is diligent and persevering. He is quite optimistic about Xie Ze.
He didn't expect this to happen yesterday.
"Okay, I'll go now."
So, after training, Xie Ze, who was still running hard on the playground, was stopped by Sheng Ze Xi, and a large bowl of meat dishes was stuffed into his arms.
"Battalion Commander Sheng, this, this is..." Xie Ze, who didn't understand, was a little at a loss.
"Your sister-in-law told me that you helped her push the cart and carry things yesterday. Today is our housewarming party, she specially left a portion for you. Here, it's still warm, take it home and eat it." Sheng Ze Xi explained simply.
Xie Ze knew that Battalion Commander Sheng's housewarming party was held today, and only Battalion Commander Sheng's close comrades could attend. He was just a young soldier who had only been under Battalion Commander Sheng for a short time, so Xie Ze dared not expect it.
Yet, he didn't expect that Sister-in-law was thinking of him.
But how could he dare to take it?
"No, no, Battalion Commander Sheng, I just helped out casually, and besides, Sister-in-law gave me two meat buns yesterday." That was enough, how could he ask for more?
"Take it, just take it. Xie Ze, train hard, I have high hopes for you!"
After saying that, before Xie Ze could react, Sheng Ze Xi patted Xie Ze's shoulder and left.
"Battalion Commander Sheng praised me, he praised me..." Xie Ze muttered, his silly look was exactly like a little fan who was praised by his idol.
By the time he reacted, Sheng Ze Xi had already left.
Xie Ze looked at the large bowl in his arms, it seemed he could only accept it.
Xie Ze went to a secluded area behind a forest, a place relatively remote, which was also his secret base. Usually, when he wanted some time alone, he would come here.
Sitting under a tree, Xie Ze lifted the plate covering the large bowl. When he saw the abundance of dishes, especially the amount of meat.
He was stunned.
"How, how much is there, and so much meat."
After being stunned for a while, Xie Ze took out the steamed bun he had taken from the dining hall a short while ago, eating the bun, and using his chopsticks to pick up the meat and vegetables from the large bowl.
"Delicious, it's so delicious."
As he ate, Xie Ze's tears fell.
No one knew that today was actually Xie Ze's birthday. Before, when he was very young, when his parents were still around, they would always celebrate Xie Ze's birthday.
Later, his father died, and his mother remarried, Xie Ze was fostered at his uncle and aunt's house, and he never celebrated his birthday again.
Although he didn't celebrate it, Xie Ze always remembered this day.
On previous birthdays, only Xie Ze remembered it, and of course there were no long life noodles or any gifts.
But now...
Xie Ze ate the fragrant meat dishes in large mouthfuls. Even though there was an occasional salty taste mixed with tears, he didn't mind. He thought, although Battalion Commander Sheng and Sister-in-law didn't know it was his birthday today, he would consider this bowl of meat dishes as their birthday gift.
How great!
Battalion Commander Sheng is good, and Sister-in-law is also good.
Xie Ze looked at the magnificent sunset in the distance, illuminating half of the sky. On his tear-stained face, a big smile appeared.
Xie Ze thought that if he were to marry a wife in the future, he would marry someone like Sister-in-law, beautiful and kind.
Gu Jia Ning didn't know that because of her kind act, a boy remembered her in his heart, and took her as the standard for his future wife.
If she knew, she would definitely put her hands on her hips and say to Xie Ze: Youngster, you have good taste!
I forgot to set a timer today...
