Rebirth: Solely Cherished by the Devoted Commander

Chapter 416: Chapter 442: Family Matters

Wang Shufen pondered for a moment: "I think we should go buy sminced meat to make dumplings, that'll

cover the main dish, and then making side dishes will be easier. Otherwise, if we're just having steamed buns or

noodles, the side dishes need to be more abundant. Also, buy sdried tofu for a cold dish, it should be quite

good. Oh, and get a couple of canned fruits." Back then, canned food wasn’t something eaten regularly, it was

mostly seen as a gift. Having scans when hosting guests was a gesture of respect.

Sun Chan quickly nodded, and it was decided. The two of them took the groceries and went back to the army

courtyard, cooking together.

They took out the celery they bought earlier, and Sun Chan also chopped schives, preparing to make two

types of dumpling fillings.

While she was making the dumpling fillings, Wang Shufen was rolling out the dumpling wrappers; "How are you

finding it here? Are you feeling a bit awkward?"

Sun Chan smiled and said, "It’s fine, | don’t really go out much anyway."

"Your personality is good, you don’t like to fuss over things, but when it’s tto toughen up, you have to. Don’t

let others bully you easily. If someone asks to borrow money, absolutely don’t lend it."

"I know," Sun Chan smiled and said.

Wang Shufen looked into the room: "Lock your and Gu Junming’s bedroom later, don’t let anyone in. Sof

these army wives might bring their kids and rummaging through things wouldn't be good."

Sun Chan readily agreed, knowing there were several special nightgowns from Yang Zhen in the bedside table

drawers, it would be awkward if discovered. She quickly locked the door. Then, thinking more, she also locked

the study, as there were many clothes and manuscripts that could be messed up by kids, but she took out some

magazines to show to people.

By the afternoon, the meal was ready, with celery and meat, chive and egg dumplings, and a bountiful spread on

the table, with chicken, fish, and canned food, all looking and smelling delicious.

Gu Junming cin first with a few colleagues, and they all praised in unison, "Smells great!"

Sun Chan smiled and said, "It’s all homemade food, wash your hands and get ready to eat!"

"Thank you, sister-in-law!"

"Sister-in-law, it's really kind of you to go through so much trouble!"

Everyone admired the warm and nicely decorated home, saying it was just like in the shows, much better looking

than their own places.

Everything not only had complete furniture and appliances, but the balcony also had many flowers blooming

beautifully, this surely was the way to live.

Then there was sbustling noise outside, as the army wives with their children cin. Although Gu Junming

had invited only seven or eight colleagues, their wives and children, a whole crowd cin, filling the room.

These women chatted noisily, almost turning the roof over with their enthusiasm, eagerly pulling Sun Chan and

talking about everything.

Sun Chan wasn’t much of a talker, just smiled, while Wang Shufen mostly helped to chat along.

Speople touched the sofa, clicking their tongues in admiration, others checked out the TV and opened the

fridge to inspect inside, feeling envious. Wondering how much all of this cost! It’s not something an average

family could bear.

Liu Gang and Ai Mei didn’t come, saying Ai Mei wasn't feeling well after falling down from upstairs, so Liu Gang

took her to see the doctor.

Actually, Liu Gang was feeling upset and didn’t want to see Gu Junming, everyone was aware of the situation

without saying it.

Liu Gang had been jumping around for quite stime, trying hard for this promotion opportunity, but it was

apparent to everyone. Disregarding the value of soldiers’ lives was too much, and the way he treated his wife

made everyone keep a respectful distance, so no one brought him up intentionally.

Yan Kai and Liao Dongyuan didn’t ceither, both living too far from Gu Junming now, making it inconvenient,

but since they got along well, meeting up another twould be just as good.

In no time, Sun Chan saw skids banging on the doors trying to rush into the study and bedroom, the doors

were rattling, fortunately, they were locked in advance.

Sun Chan laughed and said, "This room is quite messy, won't let you see it this time. Have spersimmons, |

bought some."

The women, out of curiosity wanting to see inside, found they couldn’t enter and could only glare at their kids,

"Stop making a fuss, behave yourself!"

Sun Chan and Wang Shufen both let out a sigh of relief. Swomen, however, thought Sun Chan was stingy,

wondering what couldn't be seen.

The meal was lively, going from the afternoon until past nine in the evening, with all the food on the table eaten

up, and hundreds of dumplings gone, along with over ten bottles of beer and two bottles of spirits. Sun Chan

admired the guests’ capacities for food.

On their way back, people were discussing Sun Chan and Gu Junming: "The young wife is quite good at cooking,

isn’t she?"

"Indeed, and she’s quite good-looking too."

One woman laughed, "I saw how Gu Junming would glance at his wife from tto time, it made me

embarrassed to watch, so sweet. Their relationship is really good."

Another woman said sourly, "They truly have the life, both of them earning, and elders to help out, not like at our

place where the elders in the countryside sometimes ask for money, we're struggling to make ends meet, and no

one to care."

"Enough already! Your family, at least, everyone is healthy. My old man is sick in bed, asking for money every

day, it’s stressful. Those dishes today must have cost at least a hundred! Probably a whole month’s wage, they

must be rich! Looks just like the city folks in the magazines."

"Comparing really is maddening. She's really lucky, getting to be a daughter in the Yang family."

With feelings of envy, jealousy, and resentment, everyone went hwith their own thoughts.

Sun Chan finally managed to send everyone off, massaged her own waist, feeling utterly exhausted.

Wang Shufen said, "You should rest well, I'll take care of the dishes."

"Sis, you're not going anywhere tonight, I'll tidy up the small room next to us for you."

"Okay," Wang Shufen smiled, gathering up all the dishes.

Sun Chan wanted to wash the dishes but was stopped by Gu Junming: "You've worked hard today, I'll do it

instead."

Introducing them only leads to complaints if they can’t stick it out.

"These women, unwilling to work hard themselves, just make snide remarks at you."

"I didn’t even pick up on their sarcasm; honestly, | don’t care." Sun Chan smiled and said.

"That's good. Not all army wives have good standards, so be careful in the future."
