"Okay, make me spicy strips tomorrow." Shang Yanfang had seen videos of making spicy strips on Douyin in her past life, so she knew how to make them.

"Okay, honey. Let's go to sleep, it's getting late." Gao Jianguo looked at the snacks on the bed and was a little hesitant to let the girl eat them. What if there were some unhealthy things among them?

Shang Yanfang had just finished eating snacks and was now obediently putting the snacks she had just taken out back into her space. She even kept the snack bags that had just been eaten.

"Here, this Coke." Gao Jianguo handed Shang Yanfang the Coke bottle he had just finished drinking. This was the first time he had ever seen the young girl put something away.

Ten minutes later, Shang Yanfang pulled Gao Jianguo to brush his teeth again.

Just as Shang Yanfang was about to fall asleep, Gao Jianguo's sexy voice rang in her ear. "Wife, were you married in your past life?"

Shang Yanfang was still a little drowsy at this point, and after making a soft "uh-huh" sound, she fell asleep.

To Gao Jianguo, this meant she was admitting that she had a husband.

This made this 1.88-meter-tall, rough man toss and turn on the kang (heated brick bed) thinking:

What did your wife's ex-husbands look like? Compared to her, who was more handsome? Who was taller? Who was richer? Who was more caring?

Which one is better? Yunyun.

Then he thought that since the young girl was now married to him, he shouldn't care so much.

Anyway, his wife loves him now. Just as Gao Jianguo was lost in thought, the sky began to lighten.

Gao Jianguo had only closed his eyes for a short rest when, due to the power of his biological clock, he got up to cook.

When Shang Guokang came over for breakfast in the morning, he sensed the awkward atmosphere between his sister and brother-in-law, but his sister didn't seem to notice anything at all.

"Yanfang, how do you make spicy strips? Tell me." Gao Jianguo, having finished breakfast, hadn't forgotten the promise he'd made to the girl last night.

"I'll stay and do it with you!"

"No need, just tell me. Aren't you studying?" Gao Jianguo awkwardly refused Shang Yanfang's company, not knowing whether he was jealous.

Shang Yanfang, quite carelessly, told Gao Jianguo about the method she learned on Douyin (TikTok), and then went back to the main room without a second thought.

Shang Guokang followed his sister back to the main room.

"Sis, what happened between you and my brother-in-law?"

"Nothing much, I just wanted to learn more, so your brother-in-law told me to come back and study!" Shang Yanfang had no idea why her younger brother would ask this question.

"No, sister, I've noticed something's off between you and my brother-in-law." Shang Guokang tried to make his older sister aware of this serious problem.

"What's so strange? Hurry up and study with me." Shang Yanfang thought Gao Jianguo was acting this way because of what she had said to him last night, and didn't care at all.

"Sis, I'm already farming in the countryside, why should I study?" Shang Guokang looked at his older sister with a resistant expression.

"Are you going to learn or not?" As soon as Shang Yanfang's bloodline suppression appeared, Shang Guokang instantly pretended and obediently followed his sister to learn for a whole day.

In the middle of the meal, his brother-in-law brought out some freshly made spicy strips for them to eat, which were quite delicious.

"Honey, this is delicious. It's even better than what we had last night," Shang Yanfang praised sincerely.

"Mmm, with this spicy snack, I could eat ten steamed buns." Shang Guokang had also fallen in love with the spicy snack in his hand.

Hearing the siblings' praise, Gao Jianguo's lips involuntarily curled into a smile. But then, as if remembering something, he suppressed the smile.

After being forced to study by his older sister for a day, Shang Guokang didn't want to go to her house anymore. But he also longed to enjoy his brother-in-law's delicious cooking, so Shang Guokang spent each day in a state of inner turmoil. In the end, he couldn't resist the temptation of the food and continued to go to his sister's house to study every day.

Gao Jianguo has been very busy these past two days. After having breakfast with Shang Yanfang in the morning, he goes to the commune to work on the black market. When he comes back in the evening, he cooks for Shang Yanfang and eats with her.

Yesterday, He Lingling and her two friends came to see Shang Yanfang again. "Yanfang, has Xiaokang been studying with you these past few days?"

"Really? What's wrong?" Shang Yanfang looked at Li Zhaodi with a puzzled expression.

"Well, we're not working anymore, so we were thinking of learning together with you," Li Zhaodi said, quite embarrassed.

She was the worst student among them. You could tell from her name that her family favored boys over girls. She had hardly ever been to school or read any books; she had only learned to recognize a few characters.

After that, she would secretly take her younger brother to the classroom door to study. Now that they have the opportunity to study together, she doesn't want to give it up.

“Sure, didn’t we agree before? You guys can come. Besides, you can keep me company.” Shang Yanfang readily agreed.

The group then began studying directly at Shang Yanfang's home.

When Gao Jianguo returned after finishing his work, he saw the others but didn't say anything and went to make lunch.

"Yanfang, dinner's ready." After preparing a table full of nutritious food suitable for pregnant women, Gao Jianguo called out directly. He didn't go inside to call the young girl.

"Come on, let's go eat together," Shang Yanfang urged, seeing her three friends still standing there. Shang Guokang had gone to the kitchen after his brother-in-law returned.

"Um, Yanfang. We're not hungry. We just ate when we came," Liu Yan said somewhat awkwardly.

They didn't come a couple of days ago because they thought it would be a bother to Yanfang and the others, but they really hadn't studied the material in the book for a long time and had forgotten most of it.

That's why I had to come back again to see if Yanfang was alright.

“Yanfang, we’re really not hungry. We’re not working now, so we eat breakfast around 10 a.m. and then another meal before bed,” He Lingling said directly.

That's basically how it is in Kaoshan Brigade. It's rare to find people like Shang Yanfang who still eat three meals a day.

"Come out, let's eat together. I made a lot today." Gao Jianguo came over when he noticed the little girl hadn't come out for a while.

Upon hearing Gao Jianguo's words, the three of them readily followed him to the main room for dinner.

During the meal, Shang Yanfang put the shiitake mushrooms she didn't like into Gao Jianguo's bowl. "Don't you like them?" Gao Jianguo asked, watching the girl's actions.

"I don't like that smell." Shang Yanfang always smells a mushroom smell when she eats shiitake mushrooms, which she dislikes very much.

"Then we won't make it anymore," Gao Jianguo said after learning about the little girl's preference.

After lunch, the group resumed their studies.

He Lingling looked at Shang Yanfang with some confusion: "Yanfang, I feel that your relationship with Comrade Gao is a bit strange."
