Chapter 6 Banquet Guests
"Lao Gu, are you going to the market?" When I was about to arrive at the family home, I met two older men, the tall and thin one was the second battalion commander Li Dapeng, and the shorter one was the third battalion commander Fu Guohua. The three of them were promoted to battalion commanders in the same year, and their relationship has always been good.
Seeing that the three of them have something to say, it doesn't seem like gossip. "If you have something to do, go and bring Camp Commander Li and Camp Commander Fu to the house for dinner when you are done. Eat at home" Chaoying said empathetically.
"I'll send you home first" Gu Weidong greeted the two and went home, put down the rice noodles when he got home, and said to Chaoying sincerely: "If you are embarrassed, we can go to the cafeteria to eat." ”
Looking at Gu Weidong's solemn and embarrassed look, Chaoying said seriously: "I will never promise casually, since I want to live a good life with you, I naturally want to have a good relationship with the people around you, don't embarrass you, let the sister-in-law of the two families come over with the children at night." ”
Hearing Chaoying's words, Gu Weidong's heart felt warm. Since leaving home at the age of 16 to join the army, in order to fight for results, he voluntarily gave up his vacation, and the days of returning home are numbered. For more than ten years, he has been alone. Now there is such a person, who cares about you, loves you, and is always waiting for you at home. That's a good feeling.
"Okay, you've worked hard, I'll try to come back as soon as possible to help you. ”
Looking at the back of Gu Weidong's departure, Chaoying knew that the relationship between them was one step closer.
It's already noon, what are you going to eat? Let's dispose of the food I bought first!
After putting the rice and oil, I went to clean up the vegetables, and when I picked up the basket of eggs, in addition to the 2 catties of pork, there were two more things wrapped in kraft paper, and when I opened it, I saw that there were 2 twist flowers and 2 baked cakes. I still remember asking Gu Weidong in the morning what was delicious in the town, and he said twist flowers, baked cakes, and fried dough tofu brain. I thought it would be enough to eat fried dough and tofu brain, but I didn't think that he also bought himself twist flowers and baked cakes. Seeing that his enthusiasm was reciprocated, Chaoying couldn't hide his joy. is even more energetic for taking care of this small home.
After eating a baked cake and half a twist flower, and drinking a glass of boiled water, lunch was settled, and then I went to deal with the ingredients for dinner.
Soak the rice first, then boil ten eggs in the pot. Divide the pork into two, plan to use half of the braised pork and braised eggs, the other half cut off a little lean roasted eggplant, and the rest for braised beans, then mix persimmons and cucumbers with sugar, and finally make a silk egg with white sugar to ensure that women and children can love to eat. After the six dishes were prepared, Chaoying went back to bed and took a nap.
I got up at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, first stewed the meat, then put the boiled eggs, and then the other dishes were also in full swing. At half past four, Gu Weiguo came home to see the aroma of vegetables and rice in the house and the unhurried and calm little woman, walked up and said thoughtfully, "You go take a shower first, and I'll take the rest." ”
In the face of men's care, Super Shadow will not shirk. When the weather in June and July was officially hot and unbearable, I was busy in the kitchen for a long time, and my body was already covered with sweat.
At this time, there were very few indoor bathrooms in the north, and it was naturally impossible to take a bath, so Chao Ying scrubbed in the simple shed he built, changed his clothes and returned to the kitchen, and urged Gu Weiguo to go to the commissary to buy some drinks.
At five o'clock, the two battalion commanders came with their families, the white and chubby one was Dong Juan, the daughter-in-law of the second battalion commander Li Dapeng, and the thinner one with twisted braids was the wife of the third battalion commander Fu Guohua. Both of them have children, the Li family's Xiaohu is 6 years old this year, and the Fu family's maid is 3 years old this year. are all naughty and active years.,But it's rare to show a well-behaved side in front of your parents.。 Chaoying received the ladies very warmly, and brought out snacks and soda for the children. This made the wives of the two battalion commanders very flattered. You must know that Chen Chaoying's reputation in the family home is not very good, and I heard that on the first day of coming to the family home, he ignored several military wives who took the initiative to greet her. If it weren't for the order from their own men, they wouldn't have come today.
However, after contact, I learned that the rumors may not be true, after all, looking at today's performance is different from what I heard.
saw that Chaoying and the two sisters-in-law had a good chat, and they were not negligent in treating the two little nephews of their comrades-in-arms. The corners of Gu Weidong's mouth raised a smile. I've always been worried that Chaoying won't be able to handle the interpersonal relationships here, but today's little wife is very comfortable with these things, maybe she didn't care about it before. This can also be seen that the current Chaoying cares a little bit about himself.
At the dinner table, everyone was full of praise for Chaoying's craftsmanship. Not only did he praise him again and again, but he didn't put down his chopsticks until the plate was empty.
After the meal, the men went outside to smoke, the two sisters-in-law volunteered to stay with Chaoying to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, and the children ran out to have fun with their respective friends.
Outside the door, Li Dapeng asked with a smile, "Old Gu, how did you train yourself?" Your sister-in-law is different today!"
Gu Weidong smiled at the corner of his mouth and did not answer.
Then Fu Guohua scolded, "Lao Li, you know that Lao Gu is thin-skinned and still asks, do you still need to talk about that little thing between the two of you." He laughed.
Gu Weidong punched each other, remained silent, and lit a second cigarette. If you let them know that they only have a wife now, and they are still far away from the hot kang head of the child, they will not be laughed to death. Hey, the revolution has not yet succeeded, and you still need to work hard!
