She had only intended to taste the spice on his tongue, not to pause her hot pot meal for an intimate moment. Thus, when she sensed that the man was becoming too passionate, she resolutely distanced herself from his handsome face. With a calm demeanor, she pulled away, sitting upright next to him. “There, it’s not spicy anymore,” she said.

In her eyes, the man’s gaze remained dark and mysterious. His hand had just reached out to touch her left breast, but found nothing but air. The tall man seemed somewhat disappointed, but he recovered within seconds, not forcing her to continue the kiss.

He sat upright, picking up his bowl to continue eating.

Gu Zi felt a bit guilty. She decided to stop teasing her husband in the future. Remembering her previous plans, she said, “We still need a heater at home. When you have time, let’s go buy one. I’ll also get you a few more winter clothes. Although the winters here are not as cold as in the north, we still need to be careful about the damp chill, okay?”

Su Shen felt that everyone needed a heater at home, so buying one was a natural course of action. As for his winter clothes, he thought one or two pieces were enough and there was no need to buy more. However, he couldn’t bear to refuse her good intentions, as she was considering his needs. So, he responded quietly, “Alright, we can do it tomorrow.”

The factory had been busy for a while, and the hustle and bustle hadn’t ended even today. But Su Shen’s thoughts had changed from before. Previously, his world revolved around work. Now, he believed that considering his wife’s feelings was more important. That’s why he had chosen to have a gathering at the factory today, a hot pot meal where everyone could bring their families.

Not only could he take a break from his busy schedule, but he could also spend quality time with Gu Zi and their children over dinner. His factory workers could also balance work and family life.

If he took on more worries, Gu Zi could worry less. This way, his guilt for not spending enough time with Gu Zi could be alleviated.

Gu Zi cooked a few pieces of green vegetables, keeping one for herself and putting the rest in Su Shen’s bowl. She then said, “Oh, and Su Bing and the others will be on vacation soon. Let’s buy their winter holiday homework this time. I can help them with it at home. Let’s also buy a couple of extracurricular books for each of them. I’ll supervise their reading.”

Su Bing and Su Li had specifically cooked half a bowl of beef in a buttery hot pot broth for Gu Zi. They had just reached the office door when they heard Gu Zi’s words. The two of them froze at the entrance, their faces expressing a myriad of emotions. They seemed to want to ask, “Dear mother, does love fade away?”

After finishing the meal lovingly prepared by her sons, Gu Zi felt pleasantly satiated, almost to the point of being nine-tenths full. This was unusual, as she typically only ate until she was seven-tenths full in the evenings. She gracefully lifted a cup of boiled water to her lips, taking a sip. Once Su Shen had finished eating, they both began to clean up with their sons.

Su Shen was preparing to patrol the area around the water source for the night. Before leaving, he wrapped his arms around Gu Zi, planting a kiss on her forehead. Su Bing and Su Li pretended not to notice, but their faces were flushed with embarrassment. They thought their parents were being overly affectionate, completely ignoring their presence.

After tidying up the office, Su Le woke up. Gu Zi carried the little girl around the hall for a bit. The men in the hall had all gone back to work, leaving behind their families to help clean up. They also divided the leftover beef tallow and uneaten meat and vegetables, planning to take their shares home later. What was left could be enjoyed for several meals.

They were all very grateful, so whenever they saw Gu Zi, they greeted her with warm, beaming smiles.

If it weren’t for the feast at the pig farm and their men working here, where else could they enjoy such delicious meat and vegetables? Not only did they eat their fill this time, but they could also take leftovers home. The remaining beef tallow could be used for cooking, saving them a few days’ worth of oil expenses.

Feeling that she had digested her meal, Gu Zi called Su Jing and Su Bing to head home. After they arrived home, Su Jing went out again. When she returned, her face was glowing with joy, as if she had encountered some great fortune.

Gu Zi was engrossed in watching television and didn’t feel particularly curious. She didn’t plan to ask, figuring that if Su Jing wanted to share, she would naturally speak up.

Just as Gu Zi was thinking this, not even a minute had passed when Su Jing eagerly approached her. She crossed her legs and sat on the couch, leaning her head towards Gu Zi. Her eyes sparkled with joy as she said, “Sister-in-law, guess where I just went?”
