Meng Huilan: "Girl Tang, this is the second time I've eaten the food you cooked. It's so delicious. I guess the families next door can smell the aroma."

"Haha, Aunt Huilan, if it's delicious, you can eat more. If you can't finish it, you can pack it up and take it back later."

"You are such a jerk, girl. Who else would pack up the food they can't finish? Don't you know to keep it for yourself?"

"Besides, there are Comrade Xia and his brothers who need to eat. Since they are living in your house and giving you living expenses, you can't treat them harshly."

"Comrade Xia and his men already have a hard life in the army, and they have to go through such tiring and difficult training. Now that they're here and there are so many delicious dishes, you should let them eat more."

"Aunt Huilan, don't worry. I won't treat them harshly. If you don't believe me, just ask them if they have delicious food cooked for them every day."

Xia Jinnian said, "Aunt, don't worry, Yanyan won't treat us harshly. She will prepare delicious meals for us every day."

"When I have time, I will cook for them. I won't let Yanyan cook for us grown men alone."

"I also made a few dishes tonight. I made the pheasant stewed with mushrooms, twice-cooked pork, stir-fried pork with garlic chives, and braised fish. Can you all try them and see how they taste?"

After everyone picked up their chopsticks and took a little bit of twice-cooked pork and braised fish to eat, they were all surprised. They didn't expect that a soldier could cook such delicious food.

It seems that these two people are really a match made in heaven, the most perfect couple. The food they cook is so delicious. The key is that Comrade Xia is so considerate.

He helps Tang Yatou with everything, unlike other men who think that cooking, washing clothes and doing housework are women's jobs.

Meng Huilan: "Comrade Xia, I didn't expect your cooking to be as delicious as Tang Yatou's. Did you ever cook in the army?"

“Otherwise, how could it be so delicious? Even though we’ve never eaten at a state-owned restaurant.”

"Just by smelling it, it's more fragrant than what the chefs at state-owned restaurants make. It definitely tastes better than what those chefs make."

"Auntie, when I'm not busy in the army, I will go to the cafeteria to help cook. Besides, after I met Yanyan, she often taught me how to cook."

"You'll learn it over time. As long as it suits everyone's taste, everyone should eat more. Otherwise, if you can't finish it, just like Yanyan said, you can pack it up and take it back."

At this time, Xia Jinnian also picked up his wine glass and stood up to express his gratitude to everyone, "Captain, thank you for helping me find a place to live and letting me live in Yanyan's house."

"I met such a good girl as her as my partner. I'm not afraid of you laughing at me. When I saw her for the first time."

"I fell in love with her and secretly vowed in my heart that I would chase her and make her my partner. I didn't expect that my wish would come true so soon."

"I have to thank you, Captain. If you hadn't let us live in Yanyan's house, I might not have met her so soon and made her my partner so soon."

"So this glass of wine is specially for you, Captain Uncle. Thank you so much, otherwise I would still be single now."

The captain also picked up his glass and stood up. "Comrade Xia, you don't have to be polite with me. Didn't you say you wanted to find someone to cook for you?"

"So I thought of Miss Tang. Since she lives alone in such a big house, and her work is easy, she has time to cook for you."

"I just arranged for you to live in her house, but I didn't expect you two to develop feelings for each other and become a couple."

"It's good that she's a little girl and someone will take care of her. She won't be bullied by others anymore. We can rest assured."

"It's her blessing to have met someone as good as you, Comrade Xia, as her partner. I hope you two get along well, understand and tolerate each other."

"We watched Tang grow up, and we know her inside and out. She suffered so much injustice and bullying in that family before, and she finally separated from that family and built her own house."

"She really has it hard. I hope you won't let her suffer any grievances in the future. Otherwise, I won't care if you are a soldier or something else. I will still deal with you."

"Uncle Captain, don't worry, I will definitely treat Yanyan well and won't let her suffer any grievances or harm again."

After they finished the glass of wine together, Xia Jinnian poured another glass and continued:

"This glass of wine is to thank everyone. Thank you all for your care and concern for Yanyan all the time. She can get to where she is today thanks to your help."

Tang Shiyan thought that Jinnian was too good at understanding the ways of the world. He spoke so clearly and logically. Was he trying to get closer to them so that he could ask the captain for help later?

But it's also good for him to be like this. She was right about him. If a grown man can't do anything and doesn't understand anything, she would not want him to be her partner.

Everyone stood up, raised their glasses and clinked them together, then drank the wine or drinks in their glasses in one gulp.

"Okay, that's all I have to say. Everyone, please sit down and eat quickly. The food will get cold and won't taste good if you wait."

Tang Shiyan was happy from the bottom of her heart when she saw that everyone couldn't stop eating with their chopsticks. She then looked at the children.

"Yangyang, Fanfan, Erya, eat fish slowly. Be careful not to get fish bones stuck in your throat."

"Don't worry, pretty sister. We are all grown-up children and will be careful."

"Beautiful sister, Brother Jinnian, the food you cooked is so delicious. We must eat more today and go home full."

"Okay, then you should eat more so that you can grow taller," Xia Jinnian said, touching Yangyang and the others' heads.

"Tang girl, just ignore those naughty kids. They're just greedy. Hurry up and eat or we'll eat it all up in no time."

"Aunt Huilan, it's okay. I'm just worried that they might get stuck with fish bones if they're not paying attention. They're still young and don't know how to count."

Jiang Yunchuan: "Comrade Tang, go eat and don't worry about them. I'll pick out the fish bones and then give them the fish meat."

"They're very naughty all day long. Even though they're young, they're very clever. We have to go to work every day and rarely have time to take care of them. They do everything on their own."

"Brother Yunchuan, it's better if they do everything by themselves. It's a good thing for them to be independent. Don't look at their young age, they are very good at picking grass for pigs and are also very likable."

"If I don't see them while I'm picking grass for the pigs one day, I'll really be uncomfortable. Picking grass for the pigs is boring if no one is arguing with me."

"That's because you, Comrade Tang, often give them candy. Otherwise, they'd be so naughty. They'd always argue with us at home. They're really good with their mouths."
