Chapter 98: A Good Man Who Comes Home Often

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Gu Zi opened the door and greeted the man outside. She noticed a tricycle behind him, carrying several large boxes.

Jin Long helped her move all the boxes inside before leaving, his face still red when he departed.

He had never seen such a gorgeous woman before!

But wait, how did such a gorgeous woman like her fall for Su Shen? It wasn’t that Su Shen wasn’t good, but with those three children, most women probably couldn’t accept that!

He thought and hastened the tricycle’s pace. He had to hurry back and ask Su Shen about it.

Gu Zi opened all the boxes and roughly counted. There were at least a hundred jars here. It was more than enough!

She took out twenty glass jars she needed and placed them on the ground. After washing them all, she boiled water in a big pot, sterilized the bottles by boiling, then turned them upside down to air-dry.

After finishing these tasks, she prepared a large basin of diluted saltwater and continued processing the fruits.

She placed the prepared pear chunks, starfruit slices, and peach pieces into the diluted saltwater to prevent oxidation and browning.

Next, she filled the jars with these fruit pieces, layering them with sugar. Finally, leaving a two-centimeter gap from the top, she poured in cool boiled water and lightly covered the jars.

She then steamed the filled jars on a large pot for half an hour before taking them out, tightly sealing the lids, and letting them naturally cool.

It was almost noon when Gu Zi finished making twenty jars of fruit preserves.

Su Shen had told her he had social engagements in the city today and didn’t need a meal.

Looking at the ingredients at home, she cooked a large plate of ham and sausage fried rice and a bowl of tomato pork soup. Those were enough for her and Lele.

After lunch, she stood for a while to pass the time, then took Lele for a nap.

When she woke up, she was startled. Where was Lele?

She quickly opened the door and went downstairs, only to realize that she had worried for nothing.

Su Le was sitting on the sofa and eating peanut candy. Her eyes were watery as if she had cried.

Su Shen sat opposite her with a slightly confused expression on his handsome face. He probably didn’t know how to get along with such a young child.

When he saw Gu Zi coming down, he explained, “I just got back from the city. I heard Lele’s voice while changing upstairs, and seeing you were still asleep, I brought her down first. She might not have liked it and started crying.”

After bringing Lele down, he was at a loss and could only sit on the sofa, watching her cry, not knowing what to do or say.

Gu Zi took Lele into her arms, and Lele offered her the peanut candy.

In a gentle voice, Gu Zi said, “Lele, be a good girl and eat it yourself!” She pushed the candy back to Lele, who placed it near Gu Zi’s mouth again. Su Shen noticed that this time, Gu Zi didn’t just push it back but pretended to take a bite.

Lele joyfully danced around, and this problem was easily solved. He couldn’t help but admire Gu Zi’s ability to coax children.

Gu Zi gave him some guidance. ‘You need to comfort children when they cry. You can hold her and say, ‘Lele, be a good girl, don’t cry. Shall Dad hold Lele and play with Big Yellow?’ Try to find ways to talk to her.”

Su Shen nodded after listening, “I will change and learn. I’ll learn how to get along with the children.”

Gu Zi found the look of the big man’s eager-to-learn demeanor quite adorable and couldn’t help but smile.

She asked Su Shen, “Aren’t you going to the pig farm this afternoon?”

Su Shen said, “Jin Long is taking care of it. I had a bit to drink in the city and wanted to come back to rest.”

Actually, he wanted to come back and spend time with them. Gu Zi said that a man who often returns home is a good man, so he did just that.

Upon hearing that he had a bit to drink, Gu Zi made a pot of tea in the kitchen. “Have some tea. It’ll make you feel better.”

Su Shen nodded, saying to her, “Thanks! I brought some snacks from the city for you. Would you like to try?”

Gu Zi had already noticed the pile of snacks on the low table, a mixture of various fragrances that almost made her dizzy.

But was it just a bit? She glanced roughly and saw sesame balls, cold noodles, pan-fried meat patties, meat dumplings, and at least a dozen different snacks.

Was this really just a bit?

Regardless, since it was for her, she didn’t hesitate and generously sat down to start tasting.

Su Shen’s gaze fell on her hand holding the chopsticks, which, like her, was beautiful, with nails that were translucent white..
