In her previous life, Xu Nuannuan, to save her parents, trusted her aunt's family too easily and became a plaything for a powerful figure. Not only did she fail to save her parents, but she was...
Captain Zheng is very optimistic about Jiang Ye. After all, such a young battalion commander will naturally attract a lot of attention.
As Jiang Ye's superior, he had long been aware of Jiang Ye's various achievements in the army. Since Jiang Ye was able to join his regiment, he also hoped that Jiang Ye would bring honor to their regiment in the future, so he also valued Jiang Ye very much.
He smiled and said, "From now on, we are all comrades in the same regiment. We have a common goal, which is to do our utmost, train hard, defend the motherland, and bring more glory to our regiment. Everyone, please cooperate and work together in unity."
Jiang Ye nodded. Li Mingshan stiffened his neck at first, but he had to listen to the commander's words, so he nodded.
At first, he thought that Jiang Ye was transferred from outside and did not grow up under Captain Zheng. They were the ones who had fought bloody battles with Captain Zheng. In addition, his uncle was the division commander here, so Captain Zheng should be on his side.
He thought that Captain Zheng would exclude Jiang Ye and join them in intimidating Jiang Ye, but who knew that Captain Zheng would actually give Jiang Ye such face.
He would wait and see, in case this old fox was really just putting on a show, maybe he had other tricks to humiliate the countryside.
Several people did not know the identities of Zhang Jianjun and Guan Xingyao, so Zhang Jianjun and Guan Xingyao introduced themselves to them.
But these people don’t know that Guan Xingyao is Grandpa Guan’s grandson. The Guan family has always been low-key. Guan Xingyao doesn’t want others to know that he is Grandpa Guan’s grandson. Grandpa Guan has never thought of using his identity to get backdoors for his grandson, so their relationship has been kept secret.
As a result, everyone else present treated him as just an ordinary officer.
What they didn’t know was that Xu Nuannuan was also the granddaughter of the former highest commander of their military region.
The food was ready soon. Xu Nuannuan and Li Cuilian brought the dishes to the table together, and Bai Jinping also helped.
After the dishes were served, both men and women took their seats, but they just sat there without picking up their chopsticks.
Xu Nuannuan poured tea for everyone. Jiang Ye picked up a cup of tea and stood up. "I'm Jiang Ye, a newcomer. If there's anything I haven't done well, please be tolerant and give me guidance. We don't allow alcohol in the army, so I'll offer you a toast with tea instead of wine."
He drank the tea in the cup first.
Captain Zheng also picked up the teacup and drank it. Zhang Wei and Zhang Jianjun had already drunk the medicine. Only Li Mingshan, Liu Kun and Ding Jianguo were left sitting steadily without touching their cups.
Liu Kun and Ding Jianguo both looked at Li Mingshan, as if waiting for Li Mingshan to give them instructions.
After finishing his drink, Captain Zheng looked at the three of them and said, "Is the tea not to your liking? I think it's quite delicious."
What he said was a double entendre. The tea was really delicious. He drank it to show that he was giving face to Jiang Ye and that he valued Jiang Ye.
This tea was brewed with the best Tieguanyin tea that Xu Nuannuan got from the space mall, so the taste is naturally amazing.
Captain Zheng's words were also a reminder to Li Mingshan and the other two to be more restrained.
Li Mingshan was very angry. He was angry that Captain Zheng repeatedly helped an outsider but did not stand up to them, his "brothers".
Li Mingshan didn't want to refuse Captain Zheng's face, so he picked up the teacup and drank it. Seeing this, Liu Kun and Ding Jianguo also drank the tea in the cup.
Later, when they started eating, Li Mingshan was still the same, and Liu Kun and Ding Jianguo followed suit.
This time no one tried to persuade them. Captain Zheng and Wang Dahai had already been attracted by the aroma of the food. They couldn't wait to pick up their chopsticks and praised Xu Nuannuan's cooking skills.
Liu Kun and Ding Jianguo couldn't resist the aroma. Seeing others eating, they were so greedy that their mouths were watering. They ate before Li Mingshan could eat.
Li Mingshan was very angry. He picked up a piece of braised pork and put it into his mouth. He was also conquered by the soft but not greasy braised pork. He subconsciously glanced at Xu Nuannuan.
Such a beautiful woman with such good cooking skills, it would be great if she were his.
After the banquet, Li Mingshan was the first to suggest leaving. Before he left, he couldn't help but look at Xu Nuannuan again. Only when he noticed Xu Nuannuan's gaze did he turn around and leave.
Immediately afterwards, Liu Kun and Ding Jianguo also left, followed by Captain Zheng and his wife.
Zhang Jianjun and Guan Xingyao wanted to help Xu Xu Nuannuan clean up before leaving, but Xu Nuannuan didn't want to disturb their rest, so she didn't let them do it and drove them away.
Li Xiu Lian and Xu Nuan Nuan cleaned up together, Jiang Ye wiped the table and swept the floor. Wang Dahai was a little surprised that Jiang Ye, a grown man, was doing the work that women should do.
But he didn't say anything. Jiang Ye looked young and promising, but he was dominated by his wife. Unlike him, he was the head of the family and could order Li Xiu Lian around. He sighed silently for Jiang Ye in his heart.
After everything was cleaned up here, Li Xiu Lian went home with her and the children.
As soon as he left the house, Wang Dahai muttered to Li Xiulian, "Xiao Jiang, a grown man, so big, so masculine, and a battalion commander, why is he still doing women's work at home? If I weren't so unfamiliar with him, I really want to talk to him privately. He can't let his wife control him like this, otherwise he will become increasingly powerless in the future. I can't talk about it now, let's talk about it later."
Li Xiu Lian was very envious of Xu Nuan Nuan, and she rolled her eyes at Wang Dahai.
"You're the battalion commander, and so is she. Look at what she does, and how do you do it? When have you ever helped me with housework or taken care of the children? And you're still criticizing her. She's just doting on her, being flexible and adaptable. You should learn from her."
