Gu Zi nodded, not commenting on the shared vision between her and her husband. Instead, she shared her thoughts directly, saying, “Of course we should, but the timing isn’t quite right yet. I’ve discussed it with my sister-in-law, and if we’re to open a new store, we’ll have to wait until next year to see how things pan out. As for our goal, let’s tentatively set it as a nationwide chain…”

Su Shen found her endless chatter on the subject endearing. It was as if she was radiating a vibrant life force from within, and he found it wonderful.

He poured a cup of warm water for Gu Zi, continuing to listen to her. When she finished, he nodded indulgently, affirming, “Our nationwide chain plan will definitely be realized step by step, I believe in you. What would you like for lunch?”

Gu Zi turned on the television and sat on the sofa, planning to watch a program. She responded, “Hmm, I’ve prepared some choy sum. You can stir-fry it, and make a couple of other dishes. That should be enough for the two of us.”

Su Shen entered the kitchen, the stove burning brightly. When Gu Zi went upstairs to check on their child, she could see the bright flames from her bent position. There was something different about a man at work, a certain ruggedness that could be intimidating at times.

She ascended the stairs and opened the door to find their little girl sleeping peacefully, showing no signs of waking up.

She sat by the bed, bending down to plant a kiss on her forehead before leaving the room and heading downstairs. In the dining room, Su Shen was carrying a bowl of steaming tomato and pork slice soup, a dish she had taught him to make.

She also went to the kitchen to help carry dishes. On the stove were a plate of cucumber and wood ear stir-fried with eggs and garlic choy sum, dishes she had made before.

He had not only remembered her words but also her actions. Gu Zi felt a warm feeling in her heart. During lunch, she served him some food, saying, “I’ll cook dinner tonight. After all, Hu Bing is coming from afar. As the lady of the house, it’s my duty to entertain him.”

Su Shen replied, “He’ll probably leave in the afternoon after seeing the child. There’s no need to keep him for dinner. You don’t need to worry about these things.”

Seeing Su Shen’s response, Gu Zi said, “Well, in that case, you should still invite him to stay for dinner. Whether he stays or not, I’ll be cooking dinner tonight, so don’t argue with me about it.”

Su Shen always listened to Gu Zi. Seeing her insistence, he could only agree.

He stayed home with Gu Zi until around five in the afternoon before driving to the pig farm to fetch Hu Bing. He also planned to bring back some premium pork ribs, which Gu Zi said were the main ingredients for dinner. He was quite curious about what new dish she was planning to make.

After Su Shen left, Su Bing and Su Li arrived home. Gu Zi had just brought Su Le down to play. She told Su Bing, “Su Bing, you and your younger brother take care of your sister. I’m going to the kitchen to prepare dinner. Dad will bring a guest home later, so you’ll need to help entertain.”

Upon hearing that a guest was coming, Su Bing and Su Li became somewhat reserved. Who could it be? A friend of their father’s? Regardless, they were excited as they hadn’t had dinner with their father in several days.

As the brothers eagerly awaited, night gradually fell, and the sound of a car could be heard outside.

Su Li remembered what his mother had told him and hurriedly ran out to open the door. He saw two cars stop one after the other. His father got out of the first car, and a man about his father’s height got out of the second. He walked over, feeling a bit shy, and asked in a low voice, “Dad, who is this?”

Su Shen patted Su Li’s shoulder and led him inside, introducing, “This is Uncle Hu, he’s from the army. Let’s go inside.”

The three of them quickly entered the house. After sitting down, Su Li brought over some tea. Facing a stranger for the first time, he felt a bit awkward, but he remembered his mother’s words about being polite and gracious. He couldn’t embarrass his parents.

So, he mustered up the courage and said, “Uncle Hu, please have some tea!” fгeewebnovёl.com

Hu Bing’s gaze had been on Su Li for a while. He could tell that the child was a bit shy, yet he was still able to politely offer tea. He was impressed, thinking that this was indeed a child raised by Su Shen.

He accepted the tea cup, praising, “Thank you, you’re quite the little gentleman. Despite your shyness, you haven’t forgotten your manners. Well done!”

Hu Bing thought about how he had upset Su Shen earlier because of Gu Zi. Now, by praising the child, he hoped to make amends. However, he didn’t expect the child to say, “This is all thanks to my mom. She told me to be considerate and polite, and to carry myself with grace.”
