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

Chapter 54 The chance to have a son is both far away and right next door!
"Did Battalion Commander Sheng's wife make this dish?" Lin Xing asked.

"No, it was Battalion Commander Sheng who did it!"

As soon as Zhang Shuwan finished speaking, Lin Xing choked on the chili pepper in her mouth and coughed. She looked at her wife in disbelief, "Cough, you, you're joking, right?"

Zhang Shuwan handed him a glass of water to calm him down, saying, "Look at you, why are you so agitated?"

"But I'm not joking, this stir-fried rabbit meat was made by Battalion Commander Sheng himself..."

Then, Zhang Shuwan described in detail what she saw when she went to deliver meat to Gu Jianing's house and was pulled into the kitchen.

"You have no idea, I was shocked when I saw it too."

"However, Jia Ning said that she can't cook, but Battalion Commander Sheng can, and he likes to cook for Jia Ning like this."

"Commander Sheng is such a good man!" Zhang Shuwan exclaimed.

"Hello, Uncle Sheng." Guoguo, who was eating rabbit meat, echoed her mother's praise.

After being rescued, Guoguo stayed with Gu Jianing and Sheng Zexi, and witnessed firsthand how Sheng Zexi took care of Gu Jianing.

Guoguo thinks that Aunt Jianing is nice, and Uncle Sheng is nice too.

Lin Xing: ...

Lin Xing ate another piece of rabbit meat, still finding it hard to believe that it was made by that kid Sheng Zexi.

However, he believed his wife wouldn't lie.

He never expected that Sheng Zexi, such an unruly man who was so ruthless on the training ground and decisive on the battlefield, would actually cook for his lover and had such good culinary skills.

If the rest of the troops knew this, they would be absolutely stunned.

This is a classic case of one thing subduing another.

But is a man who can cook a good man?

that……

Should he learn from him too?
After dinner, Lin Xing cleared the dishes and went to wash them. As soon as he turned his head, he saw his wife take out a packet of Chinese medicine.

His eyes darkened slightly. "Are you going to continue taking your medicine? Why don't you stop? Taking too much medicine isn't good for your health."

Lin Xing's eyes showed obvious worry.

"No, I need to take care of my health so I can give you a son." Zhang Shuwan took out a medicine jar, opened it, and put the Chinese medicine inside.

“But you’ve been drinking it for almost half a year now. It’s not that I’m stingy with the money, it’s just…”

“I know.” Zhang Shuwan interrupted him, looked up at Lin Xing, her eyes reddening. “I know, but I just don’t want to give up.”

I don't want you to be looked down upon by others.

“I don’t want Guoguo to end up like me, being exploited and left with nothing. I was lucky to meet you, but who knows what kind of people Guoguo will meet in the future? After all, who knows what will happen in the future? We can’t be with Guoguo and protect her forever…”

As she spoke, tears streamed down Zhang Shuwan's face.

In fact, neither Zhang Shuwan nor Lin Xing were the type to favor sons over daughters, nor did they pursue the idea of ​​having many children and good fortune.

Guoguo is very good, and they love her very much.

But whether in her hometown or while serving in the military region, Zhang Shuwan knew all too well how much pressure there was to have only one daughter.

She wasn't afraid of what others would say about her, but she didn't want such a good person like Lin Xing to be looked down upon.

Especially when she was in her hometown, she would often hear Lin Xing's brothers and their nephews saying without restraint: Lin Xing only has one daughter, and she will have to rely on them to support her in her old age. Anything Lin Xing has will inevitably be left to them.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Shuwan realized it was similar to how her parents had only given birth to her and almost caused her to be left without any offspring.

Now, she and Lin Xing only have one daughter, Guo Guo.

She and Lin Xing were still around, and these people were already fantasizing about how to kill Guo Guo's childless offspring. If something unexpected happened and she and Lin Xing were gone, Guo Guo would be left all alone and would be devoured alive by those jackals and tigers.

Therefore, Zhang Shuwan was afraid.

She was determined to have a son because she didn't want these people's schemes to succeed.

Lin Xing stepped forward and hugged Zhang Shuwan tenderly, comforting her gently, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said that about you."

He knew best what his family was like, and he should know best the bitterness in Awan's heart.

He doesn't care about having a son or anything like that.

I think it's great to have a daughter like Guoguo.

However, if having a son could relieve Zhang Shuwan's worries and thwart the schemes of those wolves and tigers, he hoped to have a son.

But, is it possible?
They were married for ten years before finally having a daughter, Guoguo.

Now, Ah Wan has drunk countless bitter medicinal soups.

Lin Xing held Zhang Shuwan in her arms and silently prayed: "God, please give us a son, considering that I, Lin Xing, have protected our country and that Shuwan and I have not done anything wrong."

If God could respond at this moment, He would surely say: Don't beg me anymore, the chance to have a son is right next door, even though it's far away!
-
In the neighboring bungalow, Gu Jianing and Sheng Zexi were eating their meal on the kang (heated brick bed) in the living room.

"Brother Xi, you're amazing! This rabbit meat stir-fry is so delicious."

"You're simply a culinary genius descended to earth!"

"I must have saved the galaxy in my past life to be able to marry you."

……

At this moment, Sheng Zexi was immersed in his wife's constant praise, unable to suppress the smile on his face, and almost lost in the moment.

After finishing the meal, she quickly cleared away the dishes and washed them, making sure Gu Jianing didn't touch them.

After eating and resting for a while, Sheng Zexi took his military overcoat, scarf, hat, and other items and wrapped Gu Jianing up tightly.

Because they are going out.

Gu Jianing was very excited about what she was going to do later, and she even took a small bundle and packed some things and clothes.

"Ok?"

"Alright." Sheng Zexi took the bundle from Gu Jianing's hand and led her outside.

"Commander Sheng, are we heading out?"

"Battalion Commander Sheng, is this your new wife?"

"Battalion Commander Sheng, when are you going to invite us to warm our house?"

Along the way, they encountered many comrades and military wives, all of whom greeted Sheng Zexi and occasionally glanced at Gu Jianing behind him.

She was wrapped up tightly, and even her face was covered with a scarf.

Is it because it's too ugly and you're afraid of scaring people, or you're afraid of being embarrassed?
Yes, that’s definitely the case!
However, the eyes that are exposed are quite beautiful, very pretty and lively.

But even the most beautiful eyes are useless if the face is ugly.

So, as soon as Sheng Zexi and Gu Jianing got into the car and left, the rumor that the wife of Battalion Commander Sheng was so ugly that she had to cover herself with a scarf when she went out spread again.

This further confirms the rumors that Gu Jianing is beautiful.

Zhang Shuwan, the only one who had ever seen Gu Jianing's beauty, had just arrived in the Northwest Military Region and was not familiar with these military wives. She had not yet gone out to socialize and was unaware of these rumors.
