Marrying a childless superior, she became pregnant and lived a carefree life in the 1970s.

Chapter 116 Recognizing Godparents and Strolling Through the County Town

This kindness must never be forgotten.

Qin Tian didn't stay long before leaving.

When Sheng Zexi returned at noon, Gu Jianing told him about Qin Tianlai.

In the afternoon, while Sheng Zexi was at home.

Lin Xing arrived with his wife and daughter; today was the day they had agreed upon for the formal recognition of their godparents.

Guoguo was well-trained by Zhang Shuwan. She respectfully served tea to Gu Jianing and Sheng Zexi and also called them godfather and godmother.

Sheng Zexi and Gu Jianing agreed, drank the tea, and each gave Guoguo a red envelope.

Thus, the godparent relationship was officially established.

Lin Xing, who came to visit this time, also expressed her heartfelt gratitude to Gu Jianing. Whether it was saving Guo Guo back then or helping his wife get pregnant, he would never forget this kindness.

Therefore, Lin Xing brought a lot of things this time, and insisted that Sheng Zexi and Gu Jianing accept them.

Gu Jianing knew that they would feel bad if she didn't accept it, so she did.

Finally, the two families gathered together for a meal and chatted for a long time before Lin Xing and her family of three left.

"Jia Ning, would you like to go to the county town in a couple of days?" Zhang Shuwan asked before leaving.

Spring is here, and the heavy snow that has blocked the mountains will soon be over.

The snow has stopped falling these past two days.

The military region also organized people to shovel snow everywhere, but although it didn't snow, the temperature was very low.

However, the temperature did rise a little as the days went by.

In a couple of days, the temperature will probably be a bit higher than it is now, and it won't be so cold anymore.

Back then, the military region's purchasing department would drive to the county town to make purchases, and if any military spouses wanted to go, they would be taken along.

And so, Zhang Shuwan started asking Gu Jianing out.

Gu Jianing also enjoys shopping. Since it's springtime and she's almost finished eating a lot of food, she needs to replenish her energy.

“Okay, let’s go together in two days.” It just so happens that the training course is closed that day.

"okay."

In the blink of an eye, it was morning two days later.

When Gu Jianing woke up, the man beside her was still not there. 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 warm inside, as well as a bowl of goat milk and an egg.

Sheng Zexi heard that goat milk was good for pregnant women and children, so he specially ordered it.

The military region booked the tickets with nearby villagers, and some families in the family compound also booked them. As long as there is a booking, the villagers will deliver the tickets to the military region in the morning.

It's quite expensive; even within the military region, not every family can afford it.

However, Sheng Zexi didn't care much. He wasn't short of money, and he was willing to do anything as long as it was good for Ningning and the child.

Gu Jianing first drank the goat milk, which was warm. However, she heard that it had been sterilized at high temperature before being delivered, and the taste was also well prepared, with no fishy smell. After drinking the goat milk, she ate the small bowl of porridge with side dishes and also ate the egg.

Perhaps she is pregnant, although she is not showing yet and does not have any other symptoms such as morning sickness.

However, Gu Jianing's appetite has increased.

In the past, this amount would have been enough for her to eat twice, but now, it's just right.

However, Gu Jianing could understand, after all, there were two little lives quietly developing inside her. After finishing the meal, she left the dishes aside without washing them.

Sheng Zexi repeatedly told her not to do any housework, and to leave it all to him when he got back.

Before she got pregnant, Gu Jianing could help with some small tasks that she was capable of doing. Although she wasn't very good at them, she could at least lend a hand. But since she got pregnant, Sheng Zexi wouldn't let her touch anything.

It's so wonderful to be pampered like this.

Sheng Zexi wasn't entirely in favor of going out today, but he felt he couldn't keep Gu Jianing tied to the house once she got pregnant, so he eventually agreed.

I just wanted to make sure she was careful.

After eating and resting for a while, Gu Jianing heard Zhang Shuwan from next door calling her to ask if she was ready to go out.

After all, the military region's procurement department sets off to purchase supplies at a unified time.

"Ready? I'm coming right now," Gu Jianing replied.

Gu Jianing took a hat and put it on, then took a red scarf, wrapped it around her neck, and covered her face.

Not to brag, but her face would definitely attract a lot of attention if she appeared in the county town. To avoid unnecessary trouble, it was better to cover her face.

Although she loves beauty, she also genuinely dislikes trouble.

Hopefully this trip will go smoothly, otherwise Brother Xi might not allow her to go out alone again.

Soon, Gu Jianing locked the door and got into the car with Zhang Shuwan, heading towards the county town.

On the bus, Gu Jianing also saw other military wives. It seemed that the heavy snow had kept the military wives confined to the military region for the past two months, so this was a rare opportunity to go to the county town, and they all wanted to go.

Although Gu Jianing was also covered up completely this time, the skin that was occasionally exposed was still as white as snow.

Moreover, even though she was wearing a coat, her beautiful figure could still be vaguely seen.

Compared to before, Gu Jianing is much more popular now than when she first came to the military region. Perhaps it's because people heard that she was taking a medical training course and might become a doctor in the military region hospital later, or perhaps it's because people heard that she has exceptional medical skills, not only saving Battalion Commander Cui, but also rumored to be able to help people get pregnant. They just don't know if it's true.

Anyway, on the bus, the other military wives were very friendly and enthusiastic towards Gu Jianing, and they talked a lot. Even Zhang Shuwan couldn't get a word in edgewise when she tried to talk to Gu Jianing.

Gu Jianing is not a sociable person, especially with strangers. These military wives were strangers to her, so she wasn't very enthusiastic. Even so, she couldn't stop their overwhelming enthusiasm.

Gu Jianing only breathed a sigh of relief after they arrived in the county town and got off the bus together with Zhang Shuwan.

When the other military wives asked them where they were going and if they wanted to go together, Gu Jianing quickly made an excuse to decline.

When the two reached a private place, Zhang Shuwan couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Look at you, you look like you're facing a formidable enemy."

Gu Jianing smiled wryly, "I'm really not good at socializing."

Moreover, Gu Jianing felt there was no need to engage in such social interactions. She believed that having one or two close friends was enough, and she didn't need many.

As for those superficial friends, she was unwilling to make them, feeling it was a pure waste of time.

“Alright, let’s go then. Let’s wander around the county town first.” Zhang Shuwan took Gu Jianing’s arm.

"Okay."

The two strolled around, buying what they needed, and before they knew it, it was noon.

"Let's go eat at the state-run restaurant, it's right up ahead," Zhang Shuwan suggested.

“Okay,” Gu Jianing agreed.

So the two went into a state-run restaurant and each ordered a serving of dumplings. Because she needed to eat, Gu Jianing had to take off her scarf...
