Saying goodbye to the pillow just as you get sleepy.

Gu Lingling happily went to the military camp with Liu Yating. She subtly tried to find out some things about Yang Yunhai from her, but Liu Yating didn't really know all the details.

"Are you hiding something from me?" Liu Yating asked.

Her cousin always had a cold expression, interacting only with her and her sister. Typically, he didn't even have a mosquito around him.

But somehow, he first taught Gu Lingling boxing, then asked her to help pickle vegetables. She even saw them talking a few times and felt a bit odd.

But what exactly was odd?

Even she couldn't say for sure.

"What could it be?" Gu Lingling lowered her head guiltily, "I was just asking casually."

Alright, Liu Yating also thought maybe she was overthinking things.

Gu Lingling was quite shocked upon arriving at Liu Yating's house, seeing so many people.

"We came along to learn," one female soldier said with a smile.

Anyway, Gu Lingling had already informed Wang Shuxia about the ingredients needed for pickling the salted vegetables, which Wang Shuxia had prepared for her.

Gu Lingling didn't hold back, meticulously teaching everyone how to process cabbage step by step, how to pickle.

She explained in detail, and anyone could ask questions if they didn't understand. She even taught hands-on, managing to teach everyone by lunchtime.

"This dish tastes different from what we usually make, not as salty but delicious." One female soldier gave a thumbs-up. "Lingling may be young, but she sure can cook."

"You're too kind," Gu Lingling said, a bit embarrassed, "If there are radishes available in a few days, I'll teach everyone how to pickle radishes."

In her previous life, Sichuan pickled vegetables were her favorite, tangy and sweet pickled radishes were best with rice.

"That sounds great." Everyone was delighted about the possibility of pickling radishes, enthusiastically asking what they needed to prepare and then left happily.

The next time Gu Lingling visited Liu Yating's house to hang out, she received a pile of gifts. Some were hair clips, some handkerchiefs, all sent as gratitude by the spouses who learned pickling from her.

Can't let little Lingling teach for free!

So after this event, Gu Lingling's reputation among the military spouses rose even higher.

This nearly infuriated Liu Xiaoqin.

She had just appeased Jiang Jiuming and got him home, only to hear the military spouses praising Gu Lingling's cooking skills when she was out, turning her face dark in anger for days, refusing to show friendliness.

Liu Xiaoqin was also fuming, recently hearing Gu Lingling's praise anywhere she went, staying inside to avoid the gossip.

Gu Lingling had lunch at Liu Yating's house and saw Yang Yunhai in the afternoon.

Yang Yunhai had heard in the morning that Gu Lingling was pickling vegetables at the base, wanting her to pickle some to send back to the old folks.

The old folks were in the Capital City, attached to the flavors at Qin City; the last time he sent them pickled meat, they talked about it several times.

But this time he didn't go to Wang Shuxia's house but directly called Gu Lingling to his place.

Anyway, whether it was the Liu Family or their place, the news would eventually spread throughout the family area, no need for him to carry the vegetables around.

"Old Man Zhou mentioned someone is investigating this matter, they won't investigate you, right?" Gu Lingling asked softly.

"No problem." Yang Yunhai assured.

Then he entered the kitchen, "I don't have much here, what else do you need?"

He was going to help Gu Lingling in the kitchen?
