Ever since learning that Xu Miaomiao was pregnant, Chen Chen had been in a state of extreme tension.

Every day I wanted to tie him to the bed and not let him go anywhere. It took more than a week for him to become a little normal.

Chen Chen has been out on missions every day these days, but the first thing he does after returning home is to see his wife.

Because he was very busy with this TV series, Xu Miaomiao would wander around the compound alone during the day to familiarize himself with the situation.

As soon as he came back today, Xu Miaomiao told him his own thoughts.

"Brother, how about we pick a day and invite your close comrades to our house for dinner?"

Chen Chen had just washed his face and was a little confused holding the towel. "Why are we inviting them to dinner?"

Xu Miaomiao found it a little funny to see him looking so stunned. At that time, Chen Chen didn't really understand the ways of the world.

She carefully explained, "Before, you were the only one here, but now I'm here, and after a while, we'll have a child."

"Then we'll settle down here. Let's invite people who are close to you to our house for a meal and to get to know us."

"Then people from several families can start moving around!"

Chen Chen pondered for a moment, then refused. "You're newly pregnant, and the doctor said you shouldn't overwork yourself in the first three months. You need to be careful."

Xu Miaomiao also knew that the birth of this child was an accident, but she had lived for several decades after all, so she understood everything she should understand.

So although she was a little at a loss about what to do with this child, she was not as nervous as Chen Chen.

"It's okay, I'll just cook. I won't do anything else. Besides, don't you still have my help?"

Her last words touched Chen Chen's heart. Even those who were reluctant at first smiled after hearing this.

"Okay, I'll wait and see when it's a good day and have them over for dinner." Chen Chen thought for a moment and added, "Although I have a good relationship with my comrades, I don't have many true close friends."

"There are only three or four of us, so there's no need to prepare too much."

Friends are more valuable in quality than in quantity. Xu Miaomiao feels that having three or four friends who are willing to share life with her is enough.

Thinking of Xiao Li who had come to pick her up at the station that day, she reminded him, "Don't forget to invite Xiao Li along, I promised him before I left."

Naturally, Chen Chen agreed.

Xu Miaomiao has been here for a few days. Although she hasn't gotten along well with the people here, she has heard a lot of gossip.

When I mention Xiao Li, I remember the surprised expression on his face when he saw me that day.

Xu Miaomiao deliberately put on a stern face and asked, "Why do I hear people outside saying that Captain Chen married an ugly woman?"

Chen Chen explained awkwardly, "My comrades are all wrong. They just spread rumors."

"If you're angry, can I ask them to apologize to you? They didn't do it on purpose, they were just guessing."

Chen Chen glanced at her face, then moved closer and hugged her waist in a flattering manner.

"Who said my wife is ugly? I'm sure they'll be shocked when they see her."

He even said in an exaggerated tone, "Ah! Whose beautiful young wife is this? Yes, she is mine."

Seeing that Xu Miaomiao was amused by his serious look, he felt relieved.

Chen Chen discussed with several of his comrades, confirmed the time and the people who would come, and then told Xu Miaomiao.

We invited six people to dinner in total, and including their family, there are only eight people in total, so the task is not too heavy.

On the day of the dinner party, Chen Chen came back early, and when he said he wanted to help Xu Miaomiao, he wasn't just saying it for nice words.

Even Xiao Li came back with him. When Xu Miaomiao saw Xiao Li, he was stunned for a moment.

"Xiao Li is here, come in quickly!"

Xiao Li hasn't seen her since that day. He was a little nervous facing his sister-in-law and didn't know where to put his hands and feet.

"Hello, sister-in-law. This is a gift for you. Please don't despise it."

Xu Miaomiao took the paper bag from his hand with a smile, complaining, "I already said I was just treating you to a simple meal, why did you bring a gift? I won't dare treat you next time!"

Xiao Li looked at his leader as if asking for help, and Chen Chen came over and interrupted the two of them.

"Although Xiao Li is not good at cooking, he is good at cutting vegetables. Let him help today."

Xu Miaomiao asked in surprise, "Xiao Li is also good at cutting vegetables?"

Xiao Li scratched the back of his head a little embarrassedly. "When I first started as a recruit, I was assigned to the kitchen team and cut vegetables for a year."

Xu Miaomiao waved her hand and set today's task. "Well, your company commander can't do anything except light a fire."

"Let him light the fire today, you chop the vegetables, and I'll cook. Perfect!"

You know what, Xiao Li was not bragging. His knife skills are really good. He is fast and cuts well.

Thanks to Xiao Li's help, today's dishes were completed much faster.

Liu Xiangrong and his group came together. They all lived in the tube-shaped building over there, so they simply made an appointment to come together.

When a few people walked to the door, they could already smell the fragrant aroma.

Liu Xiangrong quickened his pace impatiently, "Oh, I can eat two more bowls of rice just by smelling this!"

His wife pinched his arm jokingly and said, "Look at you, you starving ghost, as if I didn't let you have enough food at home."

Several people who were traveling with me started laughing.

Chen Chen invited two of his former comrades today. Liu Xiangrong was the dark-faced man she saw when she came that day, and his wife was Zhang Hua, whom he married in his hometown.

The other one is called Jin Xiaotian. He has ordinary facial features, but high emotional intelligence and speaks in a pleasant way. His wife is a nurse in a military hospital.

Then there is Qian Wenyuan, who is Chen Chen’s political commissar and is in charge of ideological work. He wears glasses and looks a little dull.

Seeing that everyone was present, Xu Miaomiao brought out the dishes.

Scrambled eggs with leeks, stewed chicken with mushrooms, braised rabbit meat, stir-fried seasonal vegetables, twice-cooked pork, and three fresh delicacies.

The table was filled with several dishes. Considering that Qian Wenyuan was from the south, the fish was sweet and sour fish, and a pork rib and winter melon soup was added.

This feast was quite impressive at this time. Several people sitting around the table were secretly gazing at Xu Miaomiao.

She has a fair complexion, bright eyes, naturally red lips, and her long black hair is simply tied up, giving her a unique sense of beauty.

Xu Miaomiao greeted with a smile, "I just made a few home-cooked dishes. Don't be polite, eat quickly."

Everyone else knew it was just a polite remark and agreed with a smile, but Liu Xiangrong was the only one who was straightforward and said it immediately.

"Sister-in-law, if this is just a casual home-cooked meal, then what we usually eat in the cafeteria is like pig food!"

His wife secretly stepped on his foot under the table, which made everyone laugh again and the atmosphere at the dinner table became lively.
