The red envelope was originally agreed upon by the couple and was considered as extra compensation. After all, so many soldiers had to get up early and start working in the winter to feed them, and it was not easy for them, so giving them a red envelope was no big deal.

Ming Leyao's red envelopes were filled with money, one dollar at a time. There was five dollars in each envelope, so a total of fifty dollars was given out.

But her family was wealthy, so she was happy to give the money.

The soldiers in the kitchen were even happier when they received the red envelopes.

There is meat to eat and red envelopes to get. This is five dollars, and I can use it to buy a lot of New Year's goods.

The favorability towards Ming Leyao is rising rapidly.

It was still early for dinner, and Fu Wencheng had gone out for something, so Ming Leyao and Lin Yuzhen sat in the cafeteria, holding hot water in their hands and chatting about family matters.

As time went by, more and more people came to the cafeteria. Ming Leyao simply stood aside and greeted everyone one by one.

The Northern Military Region is one of the four largest war zones in the country. In addition to five independent regiments with a total of 15,000 people, there are also seven ordinary regiments, each with a strength ranging from 1,000 to 2,000 people.

The third regiment where Fu Wencheng was located had the largest number of people among the seven regiments, with approximately 1,700 to 1,800 people.

Excluding the married people who returned to their hometowns with their wives and children to celebrate the New Year, and the singles who lived close to home and went back to visit their parents during the New Year, there were only about 600 people left.

Just enough seats to fill half of the cafeteria.

The soldiers were considerate and without being told, they consciously put the tables and benches together and tried to concentrate them in one area so that they could clean up together after eating.

When Fu Wencheng came back after finishing his work, almost everyone was there.

He contacted the battalion commanders of each battalion, counted the number of people, and finally reported them all to Fu Wencheng.

Hearing that everyone was present, Fu Wencheng pulled Ming Leyao to the main table. The couple stood facing the group, holding tea in their hands, raised their glasses and said, "Thank you all for braving the cold wind to come to my and Ming Leyao's wedding. I'm still in the army and can't drink, so I'll have tea instead of wine. Thank you all."

The soldiers stood up, raised their glasses and said auspicious words to Fu Wencheng and Ming Leyao, with excitement on everyone's face.

finally..

Their unwanted leader finally got married...

I wonder if the leader will be gentler to them after marriage???

But thinking of what the other soldiers who arrived earlier said, everyone felt...

There is no need for an answer to this question anymore; maybe dreaming is more realistic.

In the army, people pay attention to the reality of eating, as long as they can eat their fill. Today, there are two pigs, but the kitchen staff only cooked one. Half of the other pig can be used to make dumplings for the soldiers, and the rest will be used after the New Year holiday to improve the soldiers' food.

The dishes served from the kitchen were in pots and pots, such as pork rib soup, pig-killing dishes, and meat stewed with radish, and the portions were all generous.

The staple food is steamed buns made of three-grain flour, fifty of them on a table, and they are still steaming them at the back for fear that the soldiers will not have enough to eat.

For a while, the cafeteria was bustling with people eating hot meat, chatting about their dreams for the future, and occasionally making a few jokes. The scene was extremely lively.

Even though the north wind was howling outside, it couldn't stop everyone's enthusiasm.

The meal directly shortened the distance between Fu Wencheng and the soldiers, and also established Ming Leyao's weight in the hearts of these soldiers.

After eating and drinking, the soldiers consciously cleaned up their own table, and then put the tables, chairs and benches back to their original places. Before leaving, they came to Fu Wencheng to say a few auspicious words and received the wedding candies that Ming Leyao had prepared early.

Although each person only had two pieces, they were extremely precious in this era of material scarcity.

After the meal, the young couple did not leave with Wan Xin. Fu Wencheng went to the kitchen and took out a long strip of pork belly that had been cut in half, weighing a full five pounds, and a basket of chopped ribs. In his other hand, he held tea leaves and malted milk, and took Ming Leyao through the military gate and walked towards the family compound.

"Whose house are we going to?"

"You'll know when you get there."

Ever since he knew that his wife wanted to develop into a doctor, Fu Wencheng had already made preparations in advance.

The two walked around the family building and came to a row of bungalows. They stopped in front of a courtyard gate with red walls and gray tiles. Fu Wencheng freed up one hand and knocked gently on the door.

"Who is it?"

"Uncle Qi, it's me, Wen Cheng."

"Here I come."

As soon as he finished speaking, footsteps were heard, and then the gate opened, and an old man wearing a military green hat appeared in front of Ming Leyao.

The old man wore glasses and woolen trousers, but his elegant temperament was not affected by the flowery red trousers.

"Xiao Fu, I was just telling your aunt, are you coming over soon? Every year during the New Year, you come over during these few days. Your aunt has already prepared delicious food and is waiting to cook it for you."

"Thank you for thinking of me, this year is a little special, I brought my wife to visit you and aunt."

"This is...your wife?"

Uncle Qi then turned his gaze towards Ming Leyao, his eyes full of surprise.

He had heard long ago that Fu Wencheng was married, and there were rumors in the compound that Fu Wencheng's wife was a beautiful woman. He didn't take it seriously at the time. These soldiers would say every girl they saw was pretty, as if they had never seen a comrade before. He was used to it.

I didn't expect to see you today.

Wow, doesn’t it look good?

To say she is pretty is not worthy of this girl.

With this temperament and looks, if it happened in the past, wouldn't she be the epitome of a rich family's daughter?

"Hello Uncle Qi, I am Fu Wencheng's wife, Ming Leyao."
