Married to Officer, Pregnant Specialist becomes the Winner!-Chapter 80: From Now On, No Matter What, He Will Stand by His Sister and Protect Her!

Chapter 80: Chapter 80: From Now On, No Matter What, He Will Stand by His Sister and Protect Her!

"I figure she’ll be celebrating the New Year in the military district, with her brother-in-law there, he’ll take good care of Ningning," Yang Manman reassured, her hands never stopping as she knitted.

She thought to herself, now that her sister-in-law was married, no one in the family was used to it.

Her own husband was the same, always thinking about setting aside a portion for his little sister.

Yang Manman didn’t feel jealous because her husband treated her very well too, and ever since her sister-in-law woke up from the last water incident, she had been getting better and better.

Especially since she treated her with acupuncture for her cold uterus, she was still grateful to her sister-in-law.

Yang Manman always had a strong premonition; she felt that she would soon have a child.

"Do you think we should send Ningning and Ze Xi something?" Yao Chunhua asked.

As a mother, she always felt that she wasn’t giving her daughter enough.

"Mom, Ningning specifically reminded in the letter not to send anything. I think, if you eat more yourself, Ningning would be even happier."

Yang Manman said this not because she was reluctant to send things to Gu Jia Ning, but because she understood her sister-in-law. Since she said she didn’t need it, then she really didn’t need it.

Yao Chunhua sighed, deep down she understood, and with her daughter-in-law’s persuasion, she gave up the idea.

"Ningning is used to eating my cooking, I wonder if she’d adjust over there, if she can get enough to eat,"

"I wonder when we will receive her next letter."

For the first letter, the Gu Family considered it and felt there wasn’t much to say, so they didn’t reply immediately. Given the long distance, they decided to respond when Gu Jia Ning’s second letter arrived.

And so, Yao Chunhua continued to look forward to it.

Over in the Northwest Military Region, Gu Jia Ning had no idea her mother was eagerly awaiting her second letter.

However, by this time, she had finished writing two letters and packed the parcels for her family and Grandpa and Grandma Sang, planning to go out and mail them.

No need to go to the county town or anywhere else, the Northwest Military Region had a dedicated communication office to help her mail them.

But...

The packages were a bit heavy.

"Sister-in-law, let me help you carry them."

As soon as Gu Jia Ning stepped out, still a bit worried, she saw Xie Ze running over, taking the two packages from her hands with ease.

The two packages that were heavy for Gu Jia Ning were quite light for Xie Ze.

"Oh, it’s you, Comrade Xie Ze, thank you."

Having someone to help, Gu Jia Ning was naturally happy, although Xie Ze seemed about her age.

But since Xie Ze addressed her as sister-in-law and was under Sheng Zexi’s command, she regarded Xie Ze as her junior.

Moreover, from Sheng Zexi, she learned about Xie Ze’s story, so she had developed a little extra care for this enthusiastic young soldier.

"Sister-in-law, no need to thank me, it’s nothing."

"Speaking of thanks, I should be the one thanking you, sister-in-law. Last time, you had Battalion Commander Sheng send over a large bowl of dishes with lots of meat. I still savor that bowl of meat dishes," Xie Ze reminisced, eyes shining on his sun-tanned face.

"Actually, that day was my birthday," he added sheepishly.

"It was the first birthday gift I ever received. Sister-in-law, really, thank you and Battalion Commander Sheng."

Seeing the pure smile on Xie Ze’s lips, Gu Jia Ning paused for a moment, her heart softening.

So it was Xie Ze’s birthday that day. If I had known, I would have invited him to the warm room gathering. She could imagine how he spent his birthday alone, unnoticed.

It was just a bowl of meat dishes given away, yet he remembered it and even regarded it as a birthday gift...

That Xie Ze really is something...

For a moment, Gu Jia Ning felt complicated, unsure of what to say.

Soon, they reached the communications office, where Gu Jia Ning handed over the letters and packages and was ready to leave.

On the way back, Gu Jia Ning asked around and learned that because of his good performance, Sheng Zexi had rewarded Xie Ze with a day off from training.

Xie Ze had been specifically walking around the family courtyard because of that bowl of meat dishes, and with his good feelings for Gu Jia Ning as a sister-in-law, always wanting to help her more.

Unexpectedly, they met again, and even though he only helped carry the packages for mailing, any help was helpful.

Moreover, Xie Ze enjoyed interacting with Gu Jia Ning, chatting with her, feeling at ease. It gave him a sense of having an elder sister, making him naturally want to draw near.

"Sister-in-law, I’ll head back now." Though reluctant, having escorted Gu Jia Ning to her door, he reminded her, "Sister-in-law, if you ever need anything, just call me. If I’m not training or on duty, I’ll always be there."

The sincerity and purity on the young man’s face made rejection difficult, so Gu Jia Ning agreed, "Alright, but wait a moment."

Without waiting for Xie Ze’s reaction, she quickly headed inside.

Hmm?

Standing at the door, Xie Ze was puzzled, but he didn’t leave.

Soon, Gu Jia Ning returned, handing him a small triangular fruit cake, "Here you go."

Xie Ze held the small cake with both hands, looking at this small but exquisite item in confusion, "S-sister-in-law, this is?" 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

"It’s a small cake!"

"It’s a birthday, after all, you should have cake. I didn’t even know it was your birthday that day, so consider this your birthday cake."

This small cake was something Gu Jia Ning had just redeemed using points in the system mall, costing only 0.1 point each.

She redeemed five of them, planning to save the remaining four for herself and Sheng Zexi over the next two days.

Is that so, birthdays are supposed to have cake?

Xie Ze knew about egg cakes but not cake, though he’d never tasted egg cakes, he heard they were delicious and expensive.

So, this cake, even prettier and more exquisite than an egg cake, must be more expensive, and it had fruit on it. Fruit was expensive these days.

"No, sister-in-law, I can’t accept it."

He hadn’t helped her much, how could he accept it, he would feel ashamed.

"Since I’m giving it to you, just take it." What Gu Jia Ning decided to give, there was no reason to take back.

In the end, Xie Ze accepted the small cake.

Returning to his secret spot, holding the small cake, Xie Ze ate it with great care, savoring every bite, his eyes reddening again.

It was sweet, fragrant, and delicious!

It was the most delicious thing he had ever eaten!

If before, Xie Ze helped Gu Jia Ning out of admiration for Sheng Zexi, now his fondness for Gu Jia Ning even surpassed Sheng Zexi.

Xie Ze vowed silently: From now on, he would see her as a real sister, helping her and protecting her, no matter what!

Shortly after Gu Jia Ning saw Xie Ze off, Sister-in-law Yu came by with things, expressing thanks for the surgery she performed on Cui Bin.
