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

Chapter 58 The bridal chamber
The two ate on the kang (a heated brick bed) in the living room as usual. After finishing their meal, they sat there chatting. Sheng Zexi then pulled Gu Jianing into his arms.

Gu Jianing was startled, but after she came to her senses, she nestled obediently in his arms.

Inside the room, a kerosene lamp cast a dim, warm light, not too bright, illuminating the two people nestled together, creating a very cozy scene.

Inside, the snow continued to fall, and the sound of the cold wind could be heard from time to time.

"I'm going back to training tomorrow. I'll be leaving early and coming back late, but I'll still bring food back to eat with you."

"Okay, I plan to ask Sister Shuwan about the housewarming tomorrow and see how to do it."

"Okay, don't put too much pressure on yourself. You can do whatever you want. Use the money and vouchers at home if you need them. Don't ask me."

"The military region has a supply and marketing cooperative. You can go there to buy whatever you need. There are many villages outside the military region that also cooperate with our military region. Every month on the 10th, there will be a big market where villagers will bring agricultural products and other things to sell. You can go and take a look then."

"There's a big market!" Gu Jianing's eyes lit up. "Great!"

Knowing that heavy snow would soon close the mountains and last for at least two months, leading to a shortage of supplies, Gu Jianing felt that she should stock up on goods as soon as possible.

I'll see what I need to buy at the market. If I can't find it there, I can exchange it in the system store. The market is a good excuse to buy it.

"Okay, I know."

"By the way, I haven't asked you yet. What are your plans after coming to the military region? Do you prefer to stay at home, or do you want to find a job?" Sheng Zexi knew that Gu Jianing was somewhat lazy, so he wasn't sure whether she wanted to go to work or stay at home.

Sheng Zexi felt that either option was fine, since he had enough money for both of them to spend.

"I want to work!"

I almost forgot! Gu Jianing looked up at Sheng Zexi and said seriously, "There are hospitals in the military region, right? Do you think I could become a doctor there?"

With a childbirth system at your fingertips, you can also bind patients, scan symptoms, and treat patients. It's so convenient, it would be a shame not to become a doctor.

Sheng Zexi suddenly realized, "Oh right, Ningning studied medical nursing in vocational school. But shouldn't she be more suited to be a nurse?"

But thinking about how Ningning treated her sister-in-law and the pigs in Huaihua Village who were poisoned by pig manure beans, Sheng Zexi felt that Ningning also had medical skills.

"I'm not entirely sure about that. I'll find some time to ask around for you."

"it is good."

As she spoke, Gu Jianing struggled to get up. "Where are you going?" The soft, fragrant body in his arms suddenly disappeared, and Sheng Zexi instinctively tried to pull her back.

“I’ll go get it to treat your illness,” Gu Jianing said.

If we hadn't just talked about work, she would have almost been so engrossed in this man's tenderness that she would have forgotten about this important matter.

Don't forget, there are many rewards.

The two returned to the kang (heated brick bed) in the master bedroom, where the kang had long been heated, and the room was no longer so cold.

Sheng Zexi took off his clothes and lay down.

Gu Jianing glanced at his strong, muscular frame, knowing that he wasn't daydreaming and was focused on treating the illness with acupuncture.

Gu Jianing took out a long needle, heated it over a fire, and then quickly and accurately inserted it into the corresponding acupoint.

He muttered to himself, "I also need to take Chinese medicine. I'm confident that I'll be fully recovered in about half a month."

"Where can I buy this medicine?"

Sheng Zexi replied, "The medicine needs to be bought in the county town, which is quite far from here. You have to take a bus there."

“Write down the prescription for me, and I’ll ask the logistics department to buy it. They often need to go out to buy supplies, and they need to go to the county town.”

"Okay, let's buy enough for half a month. I don't know how long the heavy snow will last before we come. In another month, it will be the New Year."

“The mountains will be snowbound for about half a month,” Sheng Zexi said, thinking about the snowfall duration in previous years. “That’s right. This year, you’ll have to spend the Spring Festival with me in the Northwest Military Region, and you might not even get to eat very well.”

Almost every year during the Spring Festival, the Northwest Military Region experiences heavy snow that blocks the mountains, preventing people from getting in or out, and causing many training exercises and missions to be suspended.

The lockdown was lifted only after the snow melted.

"I'm sorry you had to go through this." Sheng Zexi's eyes were filled with guilt.

Originally, if she hadn't gotten married, Ningning could have stayed in Huaihua Village with the Gu family. There, she would have met her familiar family members, and it was the place where she had grown up. It wouldn't have been as cold as here, where even taking a bath was inconvenient.

Gu Jianing paused in her acupuncture, turned to look at Sheng Zexi, and truly saw guilt in his eyes.

Honestly, do you miss your family?

I really did think about it.

In her past life, she had wronged her family so much. After being reborn in this life, she planned to make it up to them. However, less than a month later, she got married and went to the Northwest with her family.

She was unfamiliar with the place, it was so cold, and it was difficult to move around, which was indeed extremely inconvenient compared to when she was in Huaihua Village.

but……

“But I have you with me now, don’t I?” Gu Jianing stared intently at Sheng Zexi.

Without stopping, he continued to insert the needles.

"But you're my only family here, so you have to treat me well."

"Also, if I miss my parents' home in the future, you have to come back with me."

Sheng Zexi was startled by Gu Jianing's gaze. So, he could understand Ningning's words as meaning that she was reluctant to leave her family, but was willing to follow him to the Northwest for his sake?

So, in Ningning's heart, he is also a very important family member, right?

If it weren't for the needles sticking out of his body, Sheng Zexi, whose heart was burning with passion, would have wanted to get up right now and hug Gu Jianing tightly. Only in this way could he release the excitement in his heart.

"I will definitely treat you well. Whenever you want to go back, I will do my best to make it happen and go back with you."

Unable to act, they can only swear an oath with words.

Gu Jianing gave a soft "hmm," indicating that she trusted Sheng Zexi.

After giving Sheng Zexi acupuncture, Gu Jianing took out paper and pen and wrote down the prescription.

About half an hour later, the needle was removed, and the treatment was over.

"Put your clothes on quickly, don't catch a cold."

“No need to wear it.”

"Ok?"

Before Gu Jianing could react, Sheng Zexi hugged her tightly and whispered something in her ear.

The man grabbed her hand again and placed it on his chest.

"Ningning, it's getting late, why don't we go to sleep?" She's willing to take off her clothes later.

"I, I..." Gu Jianing knew that the two of them were supposed to consummate their marriage tonight, and she had fantasized about it during the day, but now that it was really happening, she was nervous.

But the next second, her red lips were sealed by Sheng Zexi, who leaned over.
