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

Chapter 69 "You and your sister-in-law are a perfect match, a handsome man and a beautiful woman, a match made in heaven!"

Over here, Sheng Zexi's comrades and family members who came to participate in the housewarming party all gasped when they saw Sheng Zexi bringing out the dishes, and when they saw that almost half of them were meat dishes, and there was a lot of meat in them.

The Sheng Zexi couple really went too far in their hospitality.

Thinking about the small gift they had brought, they all felt it was too insignificant.

Children, in particular, rarely get to eat meat, especially in the dead of winter when meat is even scarcer. When they see so much meat and vegetables, their eyes light up and their mouths practically water.

Sheng Zexi also brought Gu Jianing out.

Apart from Zhang Shuwan's family and Sister-in-law Yu, who knew what Gu Jianing looked like, everyone else present, whether they were Sheng Zexi's comrades-in-arms or their families, had only heard about Gu Jianing from rumors in the past few days.

First, there were rumors that she was ugly and that she had schemed to marry Battalion Commander Sheng.

Yesterday, the conversation shifted again, and she was described as a great beauty who just likes to spend money freely and enjoys splurges.

These rumors keep coming in waves, and they don't know which ones are credible.

Finally, I'll be able to see him.

Today is the day she will appear in front of her husband's comrades and family. Considering the rumors that she was ugly a while ago, Gu Jianing dressed up specially for today.

She wants to look beautiful, so people know she's not an ugly duckling.

We also need to save face for Brother Xi.

In fact, just as Gu Jianing had expected, everyone's eyes lit up as soon as she appeared with Sheng Zexi.

Beautiful, really beautiful!
They stared at each one with wide eyes.

Even the children who were initially drawn to the meat temporarily shifted their gaze away from the meat dishes and instead focused on Gu Jianing, saying to their mother beside them, "This older sister is so beautiful, even more beautiful than the fairy sisters I've seen in paintings."

Their mother laughed heartily, "That's not your older sister, you should call her auntie, but auntie is indeed beautiful."

She is such a beauty. Standing next to the handsome battalion commander, they are a perfect match!

As soon as Sheng Zexi sat down, Battalion Commander Cui gave him a thumbs up, saying, "You and your wife are a perfect match, a handsome man and a beautiful woman, a match made in heaven!"

Deputy Battalion Commander Zhou Xuan echoed, "I was wondering before why Battalion Commander Sheng, who had always been unwilling to get married, suddenly got married. Now I understand."

"That's called, even heroes can't resist the charms of a beautiful woman."

Upon hearing this, everyone burst into laughter.

Gu Jianing and Sheng Zexi exchanged a glance, their eyes lingering with affection.

Seeing this scene, no one believed what was being said outside—that Sheng Zexi had been set up and forced.

This marriage, this beautiful woman, was something Sheng Zexi actively sought out.

Gu Jianing was a little shy, but Sheng Zexi was more thick-skinned, saying, "My wife is definitely beautiful."

"I also think my wife and I are a perfect match!"

"Haha."

Amidst laughter and conversation, the meal began.

"Please eat, everyone, don't be shy."

"We must finish all these dishes today."

Once the meal began, the atmosphere became even more lively. With Sheng Zexi's encouragement, everyone became bolder and ate more freely.

Gu Jianing was very satisfied with her meal. During the meal, Sheng Zexi would pick out some good food for her, which caused a stir among the people present.

In just over half an hour, all ten dishes on three tables were completely devoured. The faces of both adults and children were filled with satisfaction.

After finishing their meal, Gu Jianing gave Sheng Zexi a wink.

Sheng Zexi immediately understood. He thought his wife had forgotten about it, but he didn't expect she hadn't forgotten.

Gu Jianing: Of course I haven't forgotten. This involves my points. I only have a pitiful 4 points right now, which is too few.

Sheng Zexi looked at everyone, coughed lightly, and said, "Most of the food today was prepared by Sister Zhang and Sister Yu. My wife felt that this was a housewarming party for us, so she couldn't just do nothing."

"Ningning has some medical skills, so she thought she might as well take this opportunity to check everyone's pulse and health, as a free health check for everyone."

After Sheng Zexi finished speaking, everyone exchanged glances but did not object.

Sheng Zexi had mentioned this to them before.

Although it's true that taking someone's pulse and checking their body when they're perfectly fine carries a somewhat unlucky connotation.

But it was ultimately someone's good intention.

Besides, they had just eaten a lavish meal full of meat, so they really couldn't bring themselves to refuse.

"Alright, let's take your pulse then."

"My sister-in-law is beautiful inside and out. She gave us a check-up, which saved us the time and money of going to the hospital."

They were unaware of Gu Jianing's medical skills, but that didn't prevent them from cooperating.

"I'll go first." So, after Sheng Zexi cleared out a table for Gu Jianing to sit down, Battalion Commander Cui stepped forward first and extended his hand.

Although Battalion Commander Cui was more than ten years older than Sheng Zexi, they had a very good relationship.

Otherwise, I wouldn't have been invited to this housewarming feast today.

Battalion Commander Cui already had a good impression of Sheng Zexi and his wife. After hearing his wife whisper to him that Gu Jianing had left a large bowl of meat and vegetables for their child, his impression of Gu Jianing improved even more.

Gu Jianing was surprised by everyone's cooperation, so she boldly took Battalion Commander Cui's pulse while simultaneously scanning him with her eyes.

"System, bind Battalion Commander Cui as Patient No. 3."

[Ding, Cui Bin has been identified as Patient No. 3. Scan completed. Click to view the scan results.]

[Ding! Rewards for successfully treating Patient No. 3: 40 points, 100 jin of refined rice, and 100 jin of enriched flour.]

Hearing the voice in her head, Gu Jianing's eyes lit up. Sure enough, binding a patient meant that if she could cure them, she would receive a reward.

Not only are there points rewards, but there are also food rewards! That's great!
Moreover, even without treatment, as long as you enter the space to study and pass the exam, you will receive points as a reward. Although the points are relatively small, they add up over time.

Without needing to see the results from the system scan, Gu Jianing's eyes could scan and display the data, even pointing out problems with arrows on her body.

When Gu Jianing took her pulse, everyone around quieted down.

In fact, everyone is also very curious whether Gu Jianing really knows medicine or is just an average person.

They saw Gu Jianing take Battalion Commander Cui's pulse, and then remove her hand shortly afterward.

Gu Jianing looked at Battalion Commander Cui and said, "Battalion Commander Cui, you still have quite a few health problems, such as stomach issues and occasional migraines..."

Battalion Commander Cui and Sister-in-law Yu exchanged a glance; they were right.

But Gu Jianing quickly changed the subject, "But these are all minor issues. Battalion Commander Cui, your biggest problem is in your calves, isn't it?"

As she spoke, Gu Jianing made Battalion Commander Cui stand up and pointed the pen in her hand at a spot on his right calf.
