Su Shen said, “Of course, what kind of jars do you need?”
Gu Zi pointed to several cans of fruit and said, “Something similar to these. I want to make fruit preserves.”
A hint of surprise flashed in Su Shen’s eyes. Was there anything she couldn’t
“No problem, I’ll have someone bring them over tomorrow.”
Gu Zi expressed her satisfaction. This man was reliable when it came to getting things done.
She placed Lele on the sofa and then turned to go to the kitchen to cook.
Seeing this, Su Shen followed. When he saw Gu Zi turning back with a puzzled look in her big eyes, he said, “I can help you.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHe had never found cooking enjoyable before; he just believed that if people needed to eat, food had to be made.
But in Gu Zi’s enthusiasm for cooking, he saw her passion, making him understand that cooking was a heartwarming activity. Cooking together with family was a joyful process.
Gu Zi didn’t refuse his offer, and the two of them busied themselves in the kitchen.
In the living room, Su Li and Su Bing were eating canned fruits together.
They wanted to share some with their little sister, but their stepmom had mentioned that she shouldn’t eat too much, so they could only let her watch them eat.
“This is my first time eating canned fruits. They’re so delicious!” The sweetness felt like it was reaching his heart!
Seeing his younger brother enjoying it so much, Su Bing didn’t say anything, just ate a piece and didn’t have any more.
Su Li, relishing the fruits, said to Su Bing, “Once, a classmate in our class brought half a bottle of canned fruits. He was so proud! He only gave a small piece to those he was close to, not me. But now I get to eat it!”
When Gu Zi heard this while coming out of the kitchen, she staunchly said, “Then tomorrow, you should also bring a can to school, share it with your good friends, give each of them a big piece!” Su Li stared wide-eyed at Gu Zi. “Really?”
“Of course!” Gu Zi nodded and went to feed Lele.
Because Lele ate slowly, Gu Zi was used to feeding her first.
Su Li clapped happily. “Bro, we have Dad and Stepmom supporting us from now on!”
Surprisingly, Su Bing replied this time with a simple “Hmm” and didn’t discourage Su Li as he used to.
Su Li felt not only had Dad changed, but it seemed like even his brother had changed! Stepmom was truly a magical woman.
After the family finished dinner, Su Shen prepared to go upstairs. Gu Zi stopped him, asking, “Would you like to watch TV with us?” Su Shen paused for a moment, then sat back down on the sofa.
He wasn’t accustomed to watching TV, but he couldn’t bear to refuse Gu Zi’s invitation.
Initially, it was quite quiet, with only the sound from the television.
Later, Su Li had many questions for Gu Zi, such as how the TV turned actors small and then placed them inside.
Gu Zi earnestly explained using simple words to describe the TV’s imaging principle.
Not only did Su Li listen attentively, but Su Bing and Lele were also engrossed. Occasionally, Lele even nodded as if she truly understood, which amused everyone.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSu Shen’s gaze remained on Gu Zi. He knew she was a very intelligent and Imowledgeable woman, but he had some doubts. Was marrying him a setback for her?
Perhaps he should ask her again if she had really thought it through. He didn’t want to hold Gu Zi back.
The atmosphere in the Su family was exceptionally warm. Women passing by heard the laughter and felt their teeth ache from its sweetness. “This city woman is so beautiful and educated. I bet she won’t stay long.”
“I agree. How could such a woman willingly become a stepmother and be so good to the children?”
“When that woman completely controls the Su family’s money, the tough times for Su’s children will begin!”
The next day, the sun was shining brightly. Gu Zi took out the jelly bean grass and spread it out in the yard, letting it soak up the sunlight.
Then, she brought out starfruits, peaches, pears, and oranges to process. She washed what needed to be washed and peeled what needed peeling.
But not long after, someone knocked on the door. When she went out, she saw a man with a center-parted hairstyle standing outside the gate.
Big Yellow saw him but didn’t bark, just wagged its tail. Gu Zi guessed he was a friend of Su Shen.
When she came out, the man called out, “Sis-in-law, I’m Jin Long. Brother Shen asked me to bring you the jars.”
At the moment he saw Gu Zi, the man was stunned by her beauty.. He had only heard that Brother Shen’s city wife was good-looking, but he didn’t expect her to be this beautiful!
