Upon hearing the news, Su Li’s face lit up with understanding, his smile broadening. A resolution formed in his heart. He decided to study even harder in the future, to earn more rewards, all of which he would give to his mother.
Su Shen’s gaze, however, remained fixated on Gu Zi. In his eyes, this woman was not only beautiful, but her soul shone brightly as well. Her presence in their home was an irreplaceable source of inspiration for every member of the family.
Gu Zi watched as Su Li devoured his beef with relish. She suggested, “There’s still a large chunk of beef in the fridge. We just finished our steak, so why don’t we have beef rice for dinner? It’s even tastier than the pork rice I’ve made before. What do you think?”
Su Shen nodded in agreement, “You decide.”
Gu Zi then turned to the two boys. Su Bing also nodded, his serious demeanor mirroring Su Shen’s. Su Li, on the other hand, clapped his hands enthusiastically in support.
He exclaimed, “Yes, yes, yes! I love beef the most. I hereby declare that my favorite food is beef!” Gu Zi couldn’t help but smile at his excitement. He was such a little foodie, always getting excited at the mention of delicious food.
Gu Zi stood up, and before leaving the room, she bent down to give a kiss to Lele. Only then did she walk towards the kitchen with a relieved expression.
Seeing that his two sons were present, Su Shen felt that his daughter didn’t need his supervision. He rose from his seat and followed Gu Zi into the kitchen. As Gu Zi finished washing her hands, she felt a tall figure looming behind her.
Turning around, she found Su Shen, the handsome man, standing there. Her heart skipped a beat. However, she knew that he was probably there to take over the cooking. Gu Zi wasn’t the type to refuse help, but she genuinely wanted him to take a break. “You rarely get a day off. Let me handle the kitchen. Even robots can’t work twenty-four hours straight.”
Gu Zi thought Su Shen was far superior to any robot. He didn’t need to recharge, and he was always busy with work at the factory and social engagements. As the end of the year approached, the pig farm became busier, and there were more social events with business partners, some of which he couldn’t decline. At the same time, he had to manage and execute various tasks, and still find time to come home.
Despite all this, he always found the opportunity to steal a kiss from her, and their lovemaking was as passionate as ever. She wondered where he got all this energy from.
What was she thinking? She chastised herself. Sometimes, Gu Zi wished she could cleanse her mind with a stain remover…
Su Shen poured a cup of water from the teapot and handed it to Gu Zi, “I came here to learn your craft. I want to learn how to make beef steak rice. I’ll make it for you when I have the time.”
He had noticed that Gu Zi was quite fond of beef and enjoyed preparing meat dishes using similar techniques, such as pork chop rice and beef steak rice. Hence, he wanted to learn.
Gu Zi wanted to say that she could make it herself, but seeing his earnest gaze, it was hard to refuse him. She said, “In that case, please go to the yard first and pick some rosemary.” As soon as Gu Zi finished speaking, the man nodded and went out. He returned quickly with the rosemary, which he had washed thoroughly.
Gu Zi sliced the beef tenderloin into large pieces, neither too thick nor too thin, and ended up with six large slices of beef. She said, “Actually, the methods of making beef steak and beef steak rice are quite similar. The key to a delicious dish is a good marinade recipe. Once the beef is well-marinated, the beef steak rice can’t taste bad. Look, we use these ingredients, and the marinating time should be a bit longer. During this time, we can prepare the other ingredients.”
Under Gu Zi’s guidance, Su Shen fried the eggs and cherry tomatoes. The kitchen was soon filled with a delicious aroma.
Su Shen brought up the matter of Su Jing, “Su Jing will be back in a few days to stay for a while. It seems that something has happened to the Tian family, and she is somewhat involved. If she stays with the Tian family, she won’t have a good time.”
This was something he had learned today when Su Jing called the pig farm, and he wanted to discuss it with Gu Zi.
However, Gu Zi didn’t seem surprised at all, as if she had known all along that Su Jing would be back soon. “The room she stayed in is untouched. She can just come back. This time she’s back, she won’t leave again, right?”
If that was the case, she would have to congratulate Su Jing on finally getting rid of that man.
Su Shen nodded slightly, looking at her, “Who knows?”
In fact, when Su Jing went back this time, Su Shen had asked someone to keep an eye on the Tian family’s movements. He now knew a bit about the situation there. After all, Su Jing was his sister. He hadn’t forgotten his mother’s words before she passed away. As long as Su Jing chose the right path, he wouldn’t mind treating her as his sister again.
Of course, this was on the premise that Gu Zi did not reject her.
