Neither of them went to the cafeteria to eat. Gu Beinian cooked two bags of bridge rice noodles. Lu Nanchen couldn't eat spicy food, so the rice noodles were made with chicken in clear soup, which suited him well.

She cooked another hot pot and was worried that Lu Nanchen wouldn't be able to eat it, so she only put half of the base ingredients in it so it wouldn't be particularly spicy.

"Yeah." Lu Nanchen nodded: "Does this taste good? I've never eaten it before."

Gu Beinian Nuonuo explained: "One of the specialties of my hometown, but it is dehydrated and dried, and the taste is not as good as the fresh one."

"Honey, where is your hometown?"

"In Nanshi."

Lu Nanchen recalled: "It's still a bit far away. It's completely on the opposite side of Beishi."

Gu Beinian thought of something interesting and suddenly laughed.

Seeing her happiness, Lu Nanchen asked curiously: "What's wrong?"

She trailed off in a long tone and said, "I just suddenly thought our name was interesting, North and South."

Although he didn't quite understand what his wife was laughing at, but after thinking about it carefully, it was indeed interesting. He responded: "It means we are a perfect match."

These four simple words "a perfect match" made Gu Beinian's eyes smile like crescent moons.

After breakfast, she read a book as usual, mainly because there was nothing interesting here. After Lu Nanchen rested for a while, he went to his desk to sit down so that others would not find him.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Gu Beinian went downstairs for some activities, and happened to meet Camp Commander Bai coming back. The two said hello and chatted for a while in the courtyard.

Battalion Commander Bai also asked a few questions casually, and their slight interaction was noticed by Zhang Shumei and Bai Fen on the third floor.

The two whispered softly.

"Bai Shuo knows that little girl very well. Why isn't that girl enthusiastic about us?" Bai Fen said.

Zhang Shumei glanced at her: "What do you want to say?"

Bai Fen shook her head and didn't say a word. Everyone in the village knew something. When Bai Shuo was sixteen or seventeen years old, he peeped at a girl taking a bath. Her behavior was somewhat inappropriate, and the family couldn't control it, so she sent the troops. He became a battalion commander at the age of 38, which can be regarded as a glorious ancestor.

If you can't get promoted in another two years, it's time to change jobs or retire.

So when Bai Fen mentioned that Bai Shuo and Gu Beinian were close, talking and laughing, Zhang Shumei was unhappy.

But she was right. Bai Shuo couldn't walk when he saw a beautiful woman. Although he didn't commit any actual misconduct, it's hard to say what happened in the future.

Since arriving here, Bai Shuo has been unwilling to even touch herself. She refuses every day on the grounds that she is too tired from training. He may have long disliked her because she is old and young.

Zhang Shumei became more and more upset as she watched. Bai Shuo had never smiled at her like this before. She glared at Gu Beinian. He didn't learn well at a young age, but he was good at seducing men.

Downstairs, Bai Shuo held his hands in his arms and spoke to Gu Beinian with soft eyes.

"You mean, you don't need to sign up for so many tutoring classes?"

Gu Beinian nodded: "Children will also be under great pressure. If she studies well, she will do well in any way. If she has no intention of studying, she won't want to study even if you say Po Tian. In the end, it will be counterproductive."

Bai Shuo pursed his lips: "I still heard from that boy Shen Zhe that you are a teacher at a high-end university. I wanted to ask if my girl's academic performance will help her get into a good university next year."

"Every school is a good school. Knowledge is imparted to students, but they have to consolidate it themselves. Otherwise, no matter how much the teacher talks, what's the point?"

Camp Commander Bai nodded in agreement: "It makes sense!" After a pause, he continued: "The art school you mentioned is also an option. My daughter's grades are only average, but she likes singing and dancing. Girls should learn more. Art is pretty good too, I’ve heard about it and the tuition is relatively expensive.”

Bai Shuo was thinking that if his daughter really wanted to go to a music conservatory, he probably wouldn't be able to move up the ranks. She would be demobilized and retired from the army when she reached the age. The retirement fee should be hundreds of thousands. What was saved was barely enough.

He asked again: "Teacher Gu, are the music tuition fees at Beishi University of Science and Technology expensive?"

Gu Beinian thought for a while and replied: "Our school is quite expensive, ranging from 50 to [-] a year. In fact, there are many good music conservatories with tuition fees ranging from [-] to [-]. The more expensive ones are not necessarily good."

What she said is true. If the conditions at home are not good, try not to pretend to be fat.

Camp Commander Bai said, "[-] to [-], he can still afford it. The Noble Academy will not consider it. After all, that's all he has."

"Okay, I'll ask my daughter later, thank you."

Gu Beinian waved his hand: "You're welcome. If you have any questions, you can ask me again. I'll go over first."

"Row."

The two ended their exchange and after Gu Beinian left, Battalion Commander Bai walked upstairs thoughtfully, muttering something to his lips.

As soon as he went upstairs, he saw Zhang Shumei staring at him like an enemy.

"What are you doing?"

Zhang Shumei snorted sarcastically: "I don't care about my daughter, but why are other people's families so enthusiastic? Look at you smiling so beautifully, but you keep a straight face towards me."

Bai Shuo frowned, why is this silly woman so crazy? You didn't offend her today, right?

Seeing that he didn't speak, Zhang Shumei became more and more convinced that there was something wrong with this man.

"Don't think so wildly?" Bai Shuo warned his paranoid wife.

Zhang Shumei felt a little aggrieved: "What do you mean? You put on a bad face towards me, but you are so cheerful towards that little goblin? I think you have an old habit."

When he mentioned his old problem, Bai Shuo's eyes changed. He pushed her away and sulked into the room. Every time this woman brought this matter to his heart, it had been many years. He used to be impetuous. The troops have been tempered for a long time, and Zhang Shumei will be happy only if he is forced to become his original self, right?

She despises herself for being incompetent and having no money. If it weren't for her these years, her whole family would have starved to death.

Faced with Zhang Shumei's various criticisms, he endured them again and again. If it weren't for the fact that she had given birth to two children for him, he would have divorced her long ago, so why should he suffer from this cowardice.

He felt very helpless about Zhang Shumei's unreasonable troubles. He thought that he had done a good enough job, but he could never get her approval.

"Don't always accuse me of my behavior without reason. If you have any dissatisfaction, you can tell me directly." Bai Shuo walked up to Zhang Shumei and said coldly.

"I just can't understand how nice you are to that little girl. You have never smiled at me, but you smiled so brightly at her. Do you think I am old and ugly?" Zhang Shumei said.

"Shumei, you need to understand that I work in the army and need to deal with various interpersonal relationships. I was asking Teacher Gu a few questions just now." He explained patiently.

Zhang Shumei didn't think so, and suddenly reacted: "Teacher Gu?"

"That's right." He continued: "She is a teacher at a high-end aristocratic university. I thought my daughter liked singing, so I asked her to help analyze it. It would be better for you to do it indiscriminately."
