Jin Long swiftly called everyone over, grabbed his own bowl of noodles, and sat down at the table, eagerly digging in.

The men observed the generous servings of meat atop each bowl of noodles and felt that Gu Zi was going above and beyond in hosting this dinner. Even during festive occasions in their own homes, they wouldn’t dare to indulge in such a meat feast.

She was kind-hearted, not only attending to the children but also generously treating them with an abundance of meat. It left them speechless.

Most country men were not skilled in expressing themselves, and they seemed particularly constrained now. Each of them went up, grabbed a bowl of noodles and a pair of chopsticks, preparing to go outside to the yard to eat.

Gu Zi stopped the leader among them and said, “We’ve prepared so many stools for you. How can you eat outside in the yard? Come inside and sit, don’t let the wind blow you away. Everyone, come sit in!”

Aunt Zhang also ushered them inside, “Quickly sit down and eat. No need for formalities. Our boss lady has prepared so many dishes. If you run out of noodles, we’ll cook more. There’s plenty of food. You’re all grown men, stop dilly-dallying.”

Jin Long added, “Hurry up and sit down to eat more. Otherwise, it’ll seem like you’re dissatisfied with Sister-in-law’s cooking. Look at how comfortable I am.”

A few men glanced at Jin Long, thinking that if they had half of Jin Long’s carefreeness, things would be much better.

The men repeatedly expressed their gratitude, all sitting around the table to eat noodles. Gu Zi and Aunt Zhang went to call the children to come for their noodles too.

With so many things arranged for these days’ affairs, various ingredients, utensils, tables, and stools were all well-prepared. Serving dozens of people was no problem at all.

Su Bing returned with the items he bought. Following his mother’s instructions, he and his brother set out the beer and peanuts on the table, allowing the uncles to freely eat and drink.

Under the lively atmosphere set by Jin Long, the men gradually relaxed and engaged in lively conversation.

Men, in reality, were quite simple. A warm bed for their wives and children, paired with beer for three meals a day – an atmosphere like this was simply indescribable. Everyone was extremely happy.

Gu Zi didn’t see Su Shen come for dinner, so after she finished her tasks, she went to look for him.

Walking into the courtyard, she saw Su Shen coming back, leading Big Yellow. Her heart pounded hard at the sight.

Under the dim light, the man stood at the gate of the courtyard, dressed in a dark green short-sleeved shirt, camouflage pants, and black leather boots. His stature was tall and straight, exuding a commanding presence, akin to a commanding officer returning from patrol. There was a sense of righteousness in his bearing, a strong masculine aura.

Big Yellow, noticing his halt, obediently sat behind him. There was a newfound air of dignity in its eyes, as if it were a seasoned military dog.

Approaching her, the man spoke first, “Realized it’s been a while since I took it for a walk, so I did.”

Big Yellow was his best comrade-in-arms during his military days, no doubt about it.

He gestured to Big Yellow, and it obediently wagged its tail, walking towards Gu Zi and brushing against her leg.

Gu Zi squatted down to pat Big Yellow, taking a deep breath to steady her racing heart before standing up to say, “Got it. I’ll leash Big Yellow. You should go and have something to eat.”

At that moment, she understood that a true soldier didn’t necessarily need to be clad in a military uniform to exude an air of authority.

She felt like this man was born to be a soldier. She just couldn’t fathom why he retired.

He was simply too handsome and striking, making her feel as though she were seeing him through a military filter.

Su Shen also glanced at her, his cheeks slightly flushed, lost in his own thoughts. He simply acknowledged her and handed Big Yellow over to her care.

After the helpers left for the night, the house quieted down. Gu Zi was in the kitchen cleaning up, and Su Shen came over to help.

Su Bing asked Su Li to keep an eye on Lele while they helped to tidy up the living room and dining area.

When Gu Zi emerged from the kitchen, she noticed Su Bing working enthusiastically. Unable to resist, she ruffled his hair a few times. Even though her own child had a cold demeanor, he still looked rather cute.

Su Bing felt as though he was being treated like Big Yellow, finding it made him feel somewhat immature, but he didn’t resist. If Mom wanted to touch, let her. After all, one should indulge their own mother.

Observing the wilting wildflowers on the table, Gu Zi immediately went out to gather some flowers and herbs to replace them.

Su Li thought that since Mom arrived, the house was always clean, beautiful, and even fragrant. In the future, he wanted a wife like Mom.

It was already quite late when the family finished cleaning the house. Although they were tired, they were happy.

Su Shen held Gu Zi’s hand and said, “Tomorrow, let’s go to your parents’ home for the ceremony..”
