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

Chapter 60 Dress up nicely, and you'll shock them!
The letter to Grandpa and Grandma Sang wasn't very long, but it was full of greetings to the two elderly people and shared their daily lives with them.

In the evening, when Sheng Zexi came in with food, covered in wind and snow, he didn't see his young wife in the living room, but he did see the two letters.

When he saw that there was another letter addressed to his maternal grandparents, he was slightly touched and his eyes softened.

"you are back."

The familiar, soft voice made Sheng Zexi turn around, and he saw the pretty, slender figure walking in.

"Yes, I also got rice. I'll cook a meat dish later."

"You wrote a letter?"

"Well, we've arrived here, so we should still write to let them know we're safe. But I plan to visit the local market in two days, buy some local specialties, and send them over as New Year's gifts."

After all, there's only a little over a month until the Lunar New Year, and the back-and-forth correspondence takes a long time, so I can't write many letters.

"Sure, you can decide for yourself. Buy whatever you want. I just didn't expect you to write to your grandparents too."

Gu Jianing glanced at him lightly, "We're married now, so they're not only your grandparents, but also my grandparents. Besides, they're good to you and to me, so isn't it only right that we write to them?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Gu Jianing was hugged tightly by Sheng Zexi. "Ningning, thank you. I know it's because of me."

Ningning's maternal grandparents loved her because of her love for Ningning, and Ningning loved her maternal grandparents in return.

“My maternal grandparents have always been very good to me; it was just that I hadn’t been attentive enough to them before.”

Gu Jianing leaned against him and sighed softly, saying, "You have to train and go on missions, and I believe they will understand. But now that you're married, it's only right that I, as your wife, do my best to be filial to them."

Of course, there was one more thing Gu Jianing didn't say: it was because Grandpa and Grandma Sang were two very kind old people.

She wouldn't have said that if it were someone truly exceptional.

Just like Sheng Zexi's disliked father and stepmother family, she wouldn't pay any attention to them.

"Alright, let's eat."

"Okay, by the way, did you go to the cafeteria for lunch?"

……

Inside the small house, the couple chatted warmly, and Gu Jianing told him about asking Sister Shu Wan about the housewarming issue and how to resolve it.

"How about we set the date for the day after the market?" Sheng Zexi asked.

"can."

After dinner, Gu Jianing continued to give Sheng Zexi acupuncture treatment. On the stove, Chinese medicine was simmering; it was something Sheng Zexi had brought back when he first returned.

A large bag containing a two-week supply.

"On the day of the housewarming party, I plan to take the pulse of everyone who comes. What do you think?" Gu Jianing asked while inserting acupuncture needles.

Although she had prepared the ingredients, it was Sister Shu Wan who was in charge of cooking. Gu Jianing felt that she had to show some skill so as not to embarrass Sheng Zexi.

On the day of the housewarming party, Sheng Zexi's close comrades and their families will definitely be there. She needs to make them feel that Sheng Zexi has married a capable wife.

She currently has no other skills, except for her pair of eyes that can scan for any disease in the body.

So, let's just consider it a free medical check-up for them.

Furthermore, if a problem is detected, she can be linked as a patient. If that person can be treated by her and the treatment is successful, she will also receive points and rewards.

Killing two birds with one stone, how wonderful!

Sheng Zexi: Coming to a warm house for a feast, and then having my pulse taken... it all seems a bit strange. However, seeing Ningning's excited and eager eyes out of the corner of his eye, Sheng Zexi couldn't bring himself to refuse.

"Okay, let's do it this way." At most, he would tell the comrades and their families who were invited that day in advance.

Just take Ningning's pulse and go through the motions.

Sheng Zexi didn't really expect Gu Jianing to cause any problems. After all, although Ningning was treating his own body now and had previously treated his sister-in-law's infertility at home, Sheng Zexi felt that the probability of a cure was not very high.

After all, he had consulted specialist doctors about his health, but they were all helpless.

Ningning is too young.

If Ningning really can cure his and her sister-in-law's infertility as she says, then she is truly a miracle doctor.

But Sheng Zexi still felt it was unlikely.

As for letting Ningning treat him now, it's just to cooperate with her and not want to disappoint her, so I'm letting her give it a try.

How will you know you'll fail if you don't try?

Gu Jianing had no idea what Sheng Zexi was really thinking. If she did, she might have stuck the needle into his sore spot, made him feel pain for a while, and made him look down on her.

Before going to bed, the Chinese medicine was also ready.

Sheng Zexi obediently drank the medicine, then boiled water again and gave Gu Jianing a quick wash.

Although she couldn't take a bath, Gu Jianing still insisted on wiping herself down with a towel every day. Otherwise, she really couldn't stand it.

After washing up, the two lay down on the kang (a heated brick bed) and fell asleep in each other's arms.

Perhaps out of consideration for Gu Jianing's first time last night, and after hearing his wife complaining this morning that she had overslept and was frequently pressing her lower back, Sheng Zexi could only suppress his restless thoughts. His dry, warm hands gently massaged her soft waist, and seeing his wife fall into a deep sleep in his arms, he also fell asleep...
-
Another morning passed, and Sheng Zexi was still not by my side.

Gu Jianing didn't think anything of it. She was a bit of a homebody and not very good at socializing. She was also unfamiliar with the place, so staying at home alone was quite nice.

It was Zhang Shuwan who knocked on her door and angrily told her about the rumors circulating about her in the military region.

They've all started spreading rumors that she's an ugly woman who schemed to get close to Sheng Zexi.

“...What do those people think? If you’re considered ugly, then there’s no one good-looking in the world. Are they blind?” Zhang Shuwan was very angry for her.

After all, she knew that Gu Jianing was truly beautiful, the most beautiful person she had ever seen.

Moreover, Battalion Commander Sheng's feelings for Jia Ning are absolutely genuine.

If it weren't true love, would a grown man cook for himself? Every time I see the way Battalion Commander Sheng looks at Jia Ning, the tenderness in his eyes is so overwhelming it's almost overflowing.

Gu Jianing was initially angry that people were spreading rumors that she was ugly.

But seeing how angry Zhang Shuwan was for her, she suddenly stopped being angry.

Why get angry with people who have nothing to do with you?

"Jia Ning, it's only because you don't like going out that you'd be able to amaze them. By the way, there's a big market tomorrow, so dress up nicely and you'll shock them."

Gu Jianing chuckled and immediately agreed.

She's a great beauty; she can't be called an ugly monster.

"I wonder who's spouting nonsense," Zhang Shuwan murmured.
