"Alright then, it's okay, I'll wait here. I'll take a look after Da Nian and Xiao Nian are brought back." Bai Jinghao said while warming herself by the fire, "Sister Qiaoyue, do you know, I heard from Uncle Song that the reason we're having this dinner party at your house is because everyone wants to introduce my dad to potential partners, did you know that?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Qiaoyue found herself even more eager to hear the gossip.

"At my house? A blind date? Who's the woman?"

Shen Qiaoyue asked Bai Jinghao a series of questions, looking puzzled.

"It's Zhu Yanlan, the quartermaster of the logistics department," Lu Chen answered Shen Qiaoyue's question as he brought in a pot of hot water from the kitchen.

"But that quartermaster in charge of logistics isn't easy to get along with, will he... come?" Shen Qiaoyue asked with genuine curiosity.

Lu Chen raised an eyebrow, shrugged, and said with a sigh, "It depends on what the quartermaster thinks. I think we should come. I heard that the quartermaster is a good friend of the child's grandfather."

Shen Qiaoyue had never met this quartermaster even once.

There are no memories of this person in my mind.

“I heard my dad values ​​her quite a bit, but I don’t know if that quartermaster will like him.” Bai Jinghao frowned as she recalled the quartermaster’s appearance: “She seemed to have a lot on her mind and didn’t like to interact with others. When I first came here last time, I went with my dad’s bodyguard to pick up the furniture, and she didn’t say a word.”

Hearing everyone talking about the quartermaster, Shen Qiaoyue was very curious about what she looked like.

"Sister Qiaoyue, I brought some fruit and vegetables. Shall I go and help Commander Lu Chen with some chores?" Bai Jinghao thought that since her father was going on a blind date, he should at least do some work.

Shen Qiaoyue got up and followed Bai Jinghao into the kitchen.

"Commander Lu Chen, thank you for taking such good care of my father's important life event. I'll come and help too." Bai Jinghao happily helped wash the vegetables.

"You're welcome. I also hope that Chief Bai can find his soulmate soon." Lu Chen also hoped that Chief Bai could marry the person he loved.

Shen Qiaoyue was also about to help when she saw that Lu Chen had changed to a larger pot. She wondered what he was going to cook.

"Lu Chen, what are we going to cook in this pot?" Shen Qiaoyue couldn't help but ask.

"There should be two tables of people eating today. Several leaders' wives will be coming to eat together, so there will be at least twenty people. Xinlan and Qianli will also be coming to help later. And Comrade Dai Fenghe's family. It wouldn't be appropriate if we didn't get a bigger pot." Lu Chen answered seriously while continuing to work on his tasks.

Shen Qiaoyue looked at the bowls in the house; they probably weren't enough.

"Qiaoyue, come and help?" Xu Qianli brought over all the bowls from his own home.

Shen Qiaoyue and Lu Chen exchanged a glance and went out to help move the things in.

"This bowl has never been used. How long has it been since you cooked at home?" Shen Qiaoyue noticed that the bowl was covered in dust, had a few rat droppings in it, and was also covered in cobwebs.

Xu Qianli got anxious and retorted, "Xinlan and I are so busy that she doesn't even have time to eat. These bowls are new ones that we bought when we got married and have never been used before."

Goodness, they've even brought out new bowls.

If today's operation fails, it will be difficult to explain.

"Don't just stand there, hurry up and take them inside to wash the dishes!" Xu Qianli was exhausted from carrying the basket of bowls all by himself.

“We’re suggesting we wash outside; the kitchen isn’t big enough,” Shen Qiaoyue said, pointing to the yard outside.

Lu Chen and Xu Qianli each carried it once and put it outside.

I found two basins for washing vegetables and started pouring hot water in to wash them.

Xu Miaoya came over with her child and Xu Xiaosi.

"Are you already busy?" Seeing that the courtyard was getting lively, Xu Miaoya also came over to help.

Dai Fenghe led Xu Xiaosi in.

Shen Qiaoyue was washing dishes when she saw them come in. She responded warmly, "You've come at the perfect time! We can't chat, we've been waiting for you!"

“Of course we’re here to help.” Dai Fenghe entered the kitchen and saw that Xu Qianli and Lu Chen were already helping.

Xu Miaoya put the child in the living room and let Xiao Si play with him.

While Xiao Si and her younger brother were playing inside, Shen Qiaoyue reminded Xiao Si: "Xiao Si, there's a brazier inside. You and Tuan Tuan shouldn't go near it to avoid getting burned by the charcoal."

"I know, Aunt Shen." Xu Xiaosi was playing with Tuantuan when she heard Shen Qiaoyue's words of advice and quickly responded.

Xu Miaoya said, "My child is usually very well-behaved and he's not very good at crawling yet, so he won't bump into the fire pit."

Xu Miaoya's child is a few months older than the baby during the Lunar New Year and the Lunar New Year. The baby has just learned to crawl, but in this cold weather, the baby cannot crawl.

When Liu Xinlan returned from outside, she saw that everyone had already started helping with the work.

"I'm back?" Liu Xinlan returned happily. Seeing Xiao Nian's adorable appearance, she couldn't help but kiss him as she walked. "Xiao Nian, do you like Auntie?"

Xiao Nian was laughing so hard her mouth was practically watering, her eyes searching for her mother.

"I've fed Xiao Nian formula, she's hungry!" Liu Xinlan entered the kitchen and saw Xu Qianli's back. "Qianli, go make Xiao Nian formula."

"Let me do it?" When Lu Chen heard that his daughter wanted to drink milk powder, his first reaction was to put down what he was doing and go help.

Xu Qianli immediately stopped Lu Chen, reached out and pulled him, saying, "I'll do it, give the child's uncle a chance."

Xu Qianli is learning how to be a good soon-to-be father, and that definitely starts with making baby formula.

"The water for making formula shouldn't be too hot. Pour out the hot water and let it cool to about 45 degrees Celsius, understand?" Lu Chen was worried about Xu Qianli, as the hot water was too hot for the child's body to handle.
