"Comrade female soldiers, do you want to have a try too?" Wang Ping'an handed the two remaining crayfish in the enamel pot to the other two female soldiers, and he himself planned to suck on the crayfish's big claws, which also had meat in them.

"I won't eat this!" The two female soldiers looked disgusted, and it was unclear whether they thought the crayfish were dirty or that Wang Ping'an grabbed it for them with his hands.

"If you don't eat it, then I will!" When there was something delicious to eat, Wang Ping'an would not bother with these delicate female soldiers from the art troupe. He tore off the shrimp heads, sipped the soup, peeled the shrimp tails and ate the meat, all in one go.

It was only after he ate a few that he discovered that the spicy crayfish soup made by Gu Tuan's wife was also a unique dish. After eating it, he couldn't help but suck on his fingers.

After finishing the meal, Wang Pingan still looked unsatisfied.

Xue Hongliang and two other staff members also looked as if they had not eaten enough.

After hearing that this was made by Gu Ye's wife, Xu Xintian didn't want to eat it at first. But when she saw how happily the servants were eating it, she couldn't help but wonder if it was really that delicious.

So Xu Xintian followed Wang Ping'an's example and tore the shrimp heads and slurped the soup. The spiciness made Xu Xintian start coughing violently.

“Cough cough cough…”

“Tiantian, you insist on eating it even though I told you not to eat it!” The other two female soldiers patted her on the back and one advised her, “Throw away the inedible things!”

In order to maintain good skin, Xu Xintian never eats strong-flavored food, let alone spicy food. But today, after trying the spicy shrimp, although it was very spicy, she had to admit that the taste was indeed different from what she had imagined.

But Xu Xintian didn't dare to continue eating. It was too spicy and she was afraid her throat couldn't take it, so she threw the shrimp heads and tails in her hand into the pile of shrimp shells left over by Xue Hongliang and others.

"Hey, don't throw it away! If you don't eat it, I will!" Seeing Xu Xintian wasting good things like this, Wang Ping'an regretted saving it for her.

"It's already been thrown away!" Xu Xintian took out a handkerchief to wipe the oil off her hands, and asked calmly, "Is Political Commissar Tang in the office?"

"Yes! I didn't see him leave!" Xue Hongliang found a broom and dustpan to sweep the shrimp shells on the ground, and answered casually when he heard it.

"Which office is his?" After wiping her hands, Xu Xintian saw that the handkerchief was dirty and smelled. She frowned and threw it directly into the dustpan that Xue Hongliang was holding.

Xue Hongliang glanced at Xu Xintian and replied, "Go up to the third floor and turn left to the third room."

Xu Xintian asked, but she didn't go upstairs immediately. Instead, she pretended to chat and asked, "Which office is Captain Gu's?"

Xue Hongliang frowned, "Aren't you looking for the political commissar? Why are you asking about Gu Tuan's office? Who are you looking for?"

The pretty female soldier at the side was unhappy, "How can you talk like that, comrade? Tiantian is just asking casually, why are you so fierce?"

Xue Hongliang was also unhappy, "How am I being mean? I just asked her who she was looking for."

"Okay, okay, Lao Xue, please stop talking."

Wang Pingan came over to mediate, grabbed Xue Hongliang, and said to Xu Xintian: "If you want to find the political commissar, go to the third floor, and if you want to find the regiment commander, go to the second floor. But the regiment commander's wife just came to deliver food. If you have anything important, tell the political commissar!"

Xu Xintian's pretty face was reserved and proud, "Got it!"

After saying that, she turned and walked upstairs.

The other two female soldiers with Xu Xintian followed, and one of them turned around and glared at Xue Hongliang.

After reaching the second floor, Xu Xintian thought about it and continued to walk to the third floor.

"Uncle Tang."

When Political Commissar Tang heard the voice, he turned around and saw that it was Xu Xintian. He immediately smiled and said, "It's Tiantian, you've come just in time. Let's go to the cafeteria and have a quick meal together!"

Political Commissar Tang used to be in the army with Xu Xintian's father, so the two were old acquaintances.

Xu Xintian had a good family background. Her father was a regiment commander and her mother was a doctor. She grew up in a military compound. Because she was beautiful and well-proportioned, she was the focus of attention wherever she went.

She has grown so big that the number of people chasing after her can rival a reinforced company.

Later, she joined the art troupe. Because of her singing and dancing skills and her excellent conditions, she soon became the mainstay of the troupe. Whenever the troupe had a consolation performance, the seats would always be full as soon as she appeared.

Precisely because of her own superior conditions, Xu Xintian has high standards when choosing men. She either dislikes this guy’s height or that guy’s appearance is not up to standard.

With great difficulty, her height and appearance were barely acceptable, but her family situation was not good. She could not stand the fact that after marriage, her husband's relatives from his rural hometown would come to visit her every now and then.

Xu Xintian has been so picky but hasn't found anyone to match with. She's almost 25 years old and still hasn't gotten married. Her family is getting so anxious that they have arranged several blind dates for Xu Xintian recently.

But Xu Xintian didn't like any of them.

"Lao Xu called me this morning and told me that you were coming to perform. I spread the news and the guys were all so excited!" Political Commissar Tang said happily, "Tiantian is now the mainstay of the art troupe and is well-known far and wide as a beautiful girl in the army!"

"Uncle Tang, you're too kind!" Xu Xintian lowered her head modestly. In fact, she was on vacation this time, but when she heard that there would be a consolation performance in Gu Ye's troupe, she immediately canceled her leave and returned to the troupe and followed them.

Political Commissar Tang received a call from an old comrade today, asking him to help find a suitable marriage partner for Xu Xintian.

He planned to take Xu Xintian around the cafeteria to see if there was anything she liked.

Xu Xintian lowered her head all the way, looking very worried. When she reached the second floor, she paused and asked Political Commissar Tang, "Uncle Tang, do you want to ask Captain Gu to go to dinner with you?"

Political Commissar Tang said with a smile: "Gu Ye's wife will bring him food today, so there's no need to call him!"

When Xu Xintian heard the word "Gu Ye's wife" again, she couldn't help but grit her teeth, and a sour feeling arose in her heart.

In fact, Xu Xintian had fallen in love with a man, that was Gu Ye. She fell in love with him when Gu Ye was transferred to the 179th Division at the end of the previous year.

This man's appearance completely met her requirements: tall, handsome, and full of wildness, and he was already a regimental-level cadre at a young age.

The key point is that Xu Xintian heard from her father that Gu Ye is a special combat hero who has made countless contributions and has a bright future.

This is definitely the perfect husband in Xu Xintian’s mind!

When her father knew that she had taken a fancy to Gu Ye, he immediately asked someone to inquire about him. It happened that an old comrade-in-arms was the political commissar in Gu Ye's regiment. The information her father got said that Gu Ye was absolutely a good person, but Gu Ye had a hungry daughter who was the orphan of a comrade-in-arms he adopted. If she married Gu Ye, she would become a stepmother.

At this point, Xu Xintian backed off. She didn't like children, especially such young children who had to poop and pee and have diapers changed. She absolutely couldn't do any of that.

Although her father tried his best to persuade her to accept it, and even said that he could help her find a nanny to take care of Gu Ye's daughter, Xu Xintian still could not accept being a stepmother, so the matter between her and Gu Ye ended in nothing.

"Uncle Tang, since I'm here, I'll go say hello to Captain Gu." Xu Xintian went downstairs, and after hesitating for a long time, she still wanted to go and take a look at Gu Ye.

In other words, she wanted to see what Gu Ye's wife looked like.
