Sitting on the patio, eating fresh tofu pudding, Shen Nanchu had a panoramic view of the mountain.
System: "Host, how did you discover the fault layer in this mountain?"
Shen Nanchu had gone straight to the location of the fault layer without any sign of searching on the way.
The system saw it clearly.
Shen Nanchu: "What do you think I was doing yesterday?"
System: "Watching a movie!"
Shen Nanchu: "That's just what you saw."
The system put itself in Shen Nanchu's perspective and suddenly realized, "Host, you're so sly! You were multitasking and secretly observing."
Shen Nanchu: "This is called all's fair in war."
System: It was still too late for it to be manufactured.
Until evening, Pei Zhengnian didn't come back.
Wang Jianguo was also too busy to come.
However, Yu Lanhua came with a basket of tomatoes.
"Girl Chu, you won't believe it! It turns out that Uncle Eighth Wang is a spy."
Just thinking about it made Yu Lanhua feel terrified.
"Last time it was Wang Jianshe, and this time it's Uncle Eighth Wang. Has our Wang Family Village poked a nest of spies?"
Wasn't it because there were minerals hidden in Wang Family Village?
Shen Nanchu sighed in her heart but couldn't tell the truth.
"Auntie, don't worry. There won't be any spies in the village from now on."
All the minerals had been discovered and handed over to the country. Even if the enemy spies wanted to take action, they had to see if they had the chance.
If one dared to come, they'd capture a whole nest alive.
"I hope so!"
Yu Lanhua was still worried.
Before dinner,
Pei Zhengnian came back in a hurry with Xiong Lei and Sun Xuelin.
Zhao Hongmei and Uncle Eighth Wang had been taken away.
The soldiers sent from above had also sealed off the mountain area where the minerals were found.
As soon as Pei Zhengnian came back, he went straight into the kitchen.
Xiong Lei and Sun Xuelin looked at each other and then followed him in one after another.
When Pei's Mother and Pei Yunxi saw Pei Zhengnian coming in, they very consciously stepped out.
As long as their son/second brother was around, the kitchen was his territory.
"Xiong Lei, you make a fire."
"Sun Xuelin, you cut the vegetables."
Just taking a look at today's vegetables, Pei Zhengnian already had a menu in mind.
Xiong Lei and Sun Xuelin looked at each other.
"Company Commander, can you cook?"
"Or, let me cook instead!"
Xiong Lei and Sun Xuelin knew a little about Pei Zhengnian's background.
Could Company Commander Pei cook?
They simply didn't believe it.
"No need. Your sister - in - law only likes the food I cook."
For some reason, when Pei Zhengnian said this, a sense of pride welled up in his heart.
Xiong Lei: "Boss, have you forgotten that I don't have a wife yet?"
Sun Xuelin: "Fortunately, I have a girlfriend."
Next,
Pei Zhengnian showed off the results of his days of learning from the chef in the mess hall.
The braised fish with its golden tail lay in the sauce, glistening with oil. The pork rib soup in the white porcelain bowl was floating with golden oil flowers. The green vegetables set off the white jade - like tofu, making people's throats itch.
Xiong Lei and Sun Xuelin swallowed their saliva and stared in disbelief.
If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they wouldn't have believed it at all.
Xiong Lei: "The power of love is unfathomable!"
Sun Xuelin: "..."
Xiong Lei: "Now I finally understand why our company commander is so familiar with the mess hall."
Sun Xuelin: "How so?"
Xiong Lei: "The feelings were all practiced in the mess hall."
After they sat down at the table, Xiong Lei and Sun Xuelin really saw what it meant to spoil one's wife.
All the dishes tonight were cooked according to Shen Nanchu's preferences.
As soon as Shen Nanchu sat down, Pei Zhengnian naturally picked up an empty bowl and started to pick up the fish.
Then, he naturally picked out the fish bones from the fish.
Finally, Pei Zhengnian put the boneless fish into Shen Nanchu's bowl.
Every time Shen Nanchu finished a piece, Pei Zhengnian would add another one.
Xiong Lei and Sun Xuelin's mouths were wide open as if they could swallow an egg.
Looking at the Pei family members again, they all looked very calm and used to it.
Xiong Lei: Eye - opening.
Sun Xuelin: Fortunately, my girlfriend isn't like this.
Soon, Shen Nanchu's bowl was piled up high.
Shen Nanchu stopped using her chopsticks.
She had eaten too much this afternoon and wasn't very hungry now.
Shen Nanchu blinked and said, "I can't eat so much."
Pei Zhengnian remained calm and said, "You're too thin. Eat more."
Saying that, he picked up his chopsticks and directly put a piece of pork rib into her bowl. "This is well - stewed and not greasy."
Shen Nanchu was helpless. Just as she was about to say that she really couldn't eat anymore, Pei Zhengnian picked up a chopstick of green vegetables. "You need a balanced diet."
Xiong Lei and Sun Xuelin were sitting across from them, watching helplessly as Pei Zhengnian was like a feeding machine, putting one chopstick of meat and one chopstick of vegetables... Soon, Shen Nanchu's bowl was piled up like a mountain.
Finally, Shen Nanchu couldn't stand it anymore and protested in a low voice, "Pei Zhengnian, are you feeding a pig?"
Pei Zhengnian seriously thought for a while and replied, "A pig doesn't eat as much as you."
Shen Nanchu: "..."
Xiong Lei and Sun Xuelin, "Pfft -"
The two quickly lowered their heads to hide their smiles.
Speechless.
There's a kind of hunger called your man thinks you're hungry.
Shen Nanchu stopped eating. Anyway, the food left in the bowl would end up in Pei Zhengnian's stomach.
Let's drink some water!
As soon as Shen Nanchu picked up the enamel water cup to drink, Pei Zhengnian suddenly reached out to stop her. "Wait."
Shen Nanchu was a little puzzled. "What's wrong again?"
Pei Zhengnian frowned. "The water is too cold. It'll hurt your stomach."
After saying that, Pei Zhengnian took Shen Nanchu's enamel cup, got up and went to the kitchen. After a while, he came back with a cup of steaming water. "It's warm, just right."
Shen Nanchu looked at the steaming water. Did this man think this was warm?
She had eaten ice this afternoon!
On such a hot day, drink hot water?
Thanks, she really couldn't drink it.
Xiong Lei stared in disbelief. "Company Commander, you even care about whether your wife drinks water?"
Pei Zhengnian said righteously, "My wife has a weak stomach."
Shen Nanchu supported her forehead. "… My stomach is fine."
Pei Zhengnian, "I say it's not fine, then it's not fine."
Xiong Lei and Sun Xuelin: "…"
Finally, dinner was over.
As soon as Shen Nanchu stood up, Pei Zhengnian suddenly said,
"Don't move."
It turned out that the shoelace of Shen Nanchu's white shoes was loose.
As soon as Shen Nanchu was about to bend down, Pei Zhengnian immediately squatted down. "You don't move. I'll do it."
Xiong Lei: "… Company Commander, can't your wife even tie her shoelaces?"
Pei Zhengnian didn't even lift his head: "My wife is precious. She'll get dizzy if she bends down."
Shen Nanchu: "… Pei Zhengnian, I don't get dizzy."
Pei Zhengnian: "I say you'll get dizzy, then you'll get dizzy."
Finally, Sun Xuelin couldn't stand it anymore. He grabbed Xiong Lei and turned around to leave. "Let's go. If we stay any longer, I'll have nightmares tonight."
Xiong Lei wailed, "This isn't a meal. It's clearly coming here to eat dog food!"
Pei Zhengnian didn't pay attention to the leaving two. He turned around and gently told Shen Nanchu,
"I have to go back to the unit later."
"I may not be back for a few days."
Shen Nanchu nodded.
There were so many things to deal with. It was already good that he could spare time to come back tonight.
"After things are over, I should have a few days off. Then I'll come back."
A look of reluctance flashed in Pei Zhengnian's eyes.
Although Shen Nanchu always made him angry, Pei Zhengnian still liked to stay with her.
"If you want to eat something at home, just ask the fourth brother to go to the town and buy it for you."
"You can also ask Aunt Lanhua to come and cook for you."
"Don't always trouble outsiders with household matters. Let the fourth brother do it."
...
Shen Nanchu felt like her head was about to explode.
Why hasn't the male lead left yet?
He's so long - winded.
Finally, Pei Zhengnian reluctantly left. Shen Nanchu finally let out a sigh of relief.
Pei Zhengnian was so considerate today.
Shen Nanchu couldn't help but say, "System, what's wrong with the male lead today? He even removed fish bones for me and tied my shoelaces. Xiong Lei and Sun Xuelin were almost sickened by the sweetness."
The system thought for a while and said, "Maybe he wants to make others jealous."
Shen Nanchu said with a mixture of amusement and exasperation, "Jealous of what?"
The system replied, "Jealous that he has a wife?"
Shen Nanchu: "..."
