Chapter 116: Chapter 116: Becoming Godparents and Visiting the County Town

This kindness must never be forgotten.

Qin Tian didn’t stay long before he left.

When Sheng Zexi came back at noon, Gu Jia Ning told him about Qin Tian’s visit.

In the afternoon, taking advantage of Sheng Zexi being at home.

Lin Xing brought his wife and daughter over; today was the agreed-upon day to acknowledge godparents.

Guoguo had been well taught by Zhang Shuwan, respectfully offering tea to Gu Jia Ning and Sheng Zexi, and called them godfather and godmother.

Sheng Zexi and Gu Jia Ning responded, drank the tea, and each gave Guoguo a red envelope.

From this moment, the godparent relationship was established.

This time, Lin Xing also sincerely expressed his gratitude to Gu Jia Ning for saving Guoguo and helping his wife conceive. This kindness must not be forgotten.

So, this time, Lin Xing also brought a lot of gifts, insisting that Sheng Zexi and Gu Jia Ning accept them.

Gu Jia Ning understood that if they didn’t accept, the Lin family would feel uncomfortable, so she accepted.

Finally, both families gathered, had a meal together, and chatted for a long time before Lin Xing’s family of three left.

"Jia Ning, in a couple of days, do you want to go to the county town for a stroll?" Zhang Shuwan asked before leaving. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

Spring was coming, and the heavy snow sealing the mountains was about to end.

In the past couple of days, the snow had stopped falling.

The military district organized people to start shoveling snow around, but although there was no more snow, the temperature was still low.

However, as each day passed, the temperature was starting to rise slightly.

In a couple of days, it might be warmer than now, so it wouldn’t be so cold.

By then, the Procurement Department of the military district would drive to the county town to purchase supplies. If any military wives wanted to go, they could also tag along.

Thus, Zhang Shuwan began to invite Gu Jia Ning.

Gu Jia Ning quite enjoyed shopping, and with spring just starting, much of her food supplies were running low and needed replenishing.

"Okay, let’s go together in two days." Fortunately, the training class was on break that day.

"Great."

In the blink of an eye, it was the morning of two days later.

When Gu Jia Ning woke up, the man beside her was still absent. She got dressed, washed up, went to the kitchen, opened the steamer lid on the stove, and saw the warm porridge and side dishes inside, along with a bowl of goat’s milk and an egg.

The goat’s milk was specially ordered by Sheng Zexi after hearing that it was beneficial for pregnant women and children.

It was ordered from nearby villagers through the military district, and some families in the family quarters also ordered it. As long as there was an order, villagers would deliver it to the military district uniformly in the morning.

It was somewhat expensive, so not every family in the military district could afford it.

But Sheng Zexi wasn’t too concerned; he wasn’t short of money and was willing to do anything beneficial for Ningning and the child.

Gu Jia Ning drank the goat’s milk first; it was warm, and reportedly pasteurized before delivery, with the taste well handled, not fishy. She drank the goat’s milk and ate the porridge with the side dish along with the egg.

Perhaps due to pregnancy, although there was no visible growth yet and no other reactions like morning sickness,

Gu Jia Ning’s appetite had increased.

In the past, this amount could last her two meals, but now it’s just right for one.

But Gu Jia Ning understood, after all, two little lives were quietly developing in her belly.

After eating, she placed the dishes aside, not washing them.

Sheng Zexi repeatedly emphasized that she shouldn’t do any housework, insisting he would handle it when he returned.

Before she was pregnant, Gu Jia Ning could at least help with small tasks she was capable of, although she wasn’t very skilled, she could at least lend a hand. But since pregnancy, Sheng Zexi wouldn’t let her touch anything.

This pampered life, indeed, was blissful.

Regarding going out today, Sheng Zexi initially didn’t agree either, but felt he couldn’t keep Gu Jia Ning confined at home just because she was pregnant, so he eventually agreed.

He just told her to be sure to stay safe.

After finishing the meal and resting for a while, Gu Jia Ning heard Zhang Shuwan from next door calling out asking if she was ready to go out.

After all, the Procurement Department had a unified schedule for heading out to purchase supplies.

"Ready, I’m coming." Gu Jia Ning responded.

Gu Jia Ning took a hat to wear, a red scarf to wrap around her neck, and covered her face.

It wasn’t boasting, but her face, once seen in the county town, would undoubtedly draw much attention. To avoid unnecessary trouble, it was better to cover up.

Although she loved beauty, she truly disliked trouble.

Hopefully, this trip would go smoothly, or else Brother Xi might not allow her to go out alone in the future.

Soon, Gu Jia Ning locked the door and got in the vehicle with Zhang Shuwan heading to the county town.

On the ride, Gu Jia Ning also saw other military wives. Probably because the heavy snow sealing the mountains had kept them cooped up in the military district for the past two months, they all eagerly joined the trip to the county town.

Gu Jia Ning, though well-covered, occasionally revealed her skin, which was as white as snow.

And despite wearing a coat, her good figure was faintly discernible.

Compared to when she first arrived at the military district, Gu Jia Ning’s rapport with others had significantly improved. Perhaps it was due to her teaching at the medical training class, possibly working at the military hospital in the future, or perhaps her reputed medical skills, which not only helped save Camp Commander Cui but were rumored to help with conceiving, though whether that was true remained unknown.

Regardless, on the vehicle, other military wives were very friendly and enthusiastic toward Gu Jia Ning, engaging in much conversation, making it difficult for even Zhang Shuwan to get a word in.

Gu Jia Ning wasn’t someone good at socializing, especially with strangers, and these military wives were strangers to her, so she wasn’t very enthusiastic. Nonetheless, she couldn’t fend off their overwhelming friendliness.

Until they got off in the county town, walking with Zhang Shuwan, did Gu Jia Ning finally breathe a sigh of relief.

When other military wives asked where they planned to shop and if they wanted to join them, Gu Jia Ning quickly made excuses to decline.

Once they reached a secluded spot, Zhang Shuwan couldn’t help but laugh, "Look at you, acting like you’re facing a formidable enemy."

Gu Jia Ning gave a helpless smile, "I really am not good at socializing."

Moreover, Gu Jia Ning didn’t see the point in such social interactions; she believed having one or two genuine friends was enough, more was unnecessary.

As for superficial friendships, she didn’t want to engage, thinking it a waste of time.

"Alright, then, let’s go. We’ll stroll around the county town first." Zhang Shuwan hooked her arm through Gu Jia Ning’s.

"Sure."

The two strolled and shopped for necessities, and before they knew it, it was noon.

"Let’s eat at the state-run restaurant, it’s just ahead." Zhang Shuwan suggested.

"Alright," Gu Jia Ning agreed.

So, the two entered the state-run restaurant and each ordered a portion of dumplings. Since they were going to eat, Gu Jia Ning had to take her scarf off...
