On the way back, Xia Jinnian drove to a deserted place, and Tang Shiyan took out a lot of meat dishes and side dishes from the space, as well as wine, drinks, fruits, candy, peanuts and melon seeds.

Since she has decided to leave and return to the capital, she must invite everyone to get together. The people she can invite are those who have helped her in the past and her good friends. Of course, she has to be generous and not stingy.

Ten minutes later, the two arrived home. Shu Wanqiao saw that they came back with so many things in big and small bags, and their faces were full of smiles.

"Daughter-in-law, are you planning to treat everyone to a meal? I see you've bought so many dishes, drinks, and alcoholic beverages."

Tang Shiyan: "Mom, yes, we are leaving for Beijing, aren't we? So I invited Commander Cheng, the Political Commissar, the Deputy Battalion Commander and the others to dinner. They have taken good care of me since I came here."

"And Jinnian's brothers, my eldest brother and second brother. We don't know when we can see them again after we go back this time."

Shu Wanqiao: "Yes, daughter-in-law, you are right to do this. Mom supports you. We should be grateful as human beings."

"After this separation, I believe you and your eldest and second brothers will meet again soon, and then the whole family can be reunited."

"Mom and Wenjing will help you with washing and cutting vegetables, and serving bowls and plates. Since we're treating you, we need to cook more dishes."

"There are mostly men here, and they eat a lot. If I don't cook enough, it would be embarrassing for them not to have enough to eat."

"I don't say the dishes should be too good, but at least the portions should be large enough for people to eat their fill. A little more is fine, but not enough is."

Tang Shiyan: "Mom, I know, don't worry about me doing things. I won't invite everyone to dinner."

"I only hired people who take good care of Jinnian at work, and also people I get along well with."

"Even if I have plenty of food and meat and vegetables, I can give them to Xiaotian. Why should I give them to those irrelevant people? They won't remember my kindness if I give them to them."

Xiaotian also barked happily, meaning that his sister was right and that if he was fed, he could help his sister do many things.

When Shu Wanqiao saw the man and the cat getting along so well, she was happy from the bottom of her heart and thought that this little kitten was so smart.

With a division of labor, Xia Jinnian took the three children to notify those people to come for dinner in the evening, and Tang Shiyan, Xia Wenjing, and Shu Wanqiao began to prepare dinner.

Shu Wanqiao washed the vegetables, Xia Wenjing cut them, and Tang Shiyan started to stew the dishes. Because stewing takes a long time, it has to be done first before stir-frying.

If her mother and younger sister hadn't been there, she would have just stewed it in the space. Now it's not easy to cheat, so she can only do it one by one slowly.

The kids were also very happy to be able to follow their father around the army. Of course, Xiaotian also followed happily behind.

Ever since its little master was born, it has followed them wherever they go, fearing that someone would do something bad to its little master.

It is its responsibility to protect them. It knows that these three little masters are the treasures of its sister and brother-in-law, and no mistakes can be made.

Everyone who received the invitation was very happy. They could have a good meal again in the evening, and the meal was cooked by Comrade Tang himself. No one else could cook such delicious food.

Commander Cheng was reluctant to let the two leave. After all, they were both very capable in all aspects.

But there was no other way. Since the other person had good prospects for development, he could only agree to let him go. He couldn't force him to stay here forever.

Wouldn't that ruin someone's future? If he really did that, who knows what others would think of him.

After notifying everyone, Xia Jinnian quickly returned home with his three children. Although his mother and younger sister helped with cooking, he didn't want to make them so tired, so he wanted to help his wife cook.

After Xia Jinnian left, Zhou Jinrui and the others were very happy because they could eat the food cooked by their sister-in-law again, but they were still a little reluctant.

The boss and his sister-in-law are about to leave the army and return to Beijing. I don’t know when we can meet again and eat the food cooked by his sister-in-law?

But they can only keep it in their hearts. They are grown men and cannot show all their expressions on their faces like girls.

After a while, those who lived closer to Tang Shiyan's house could smell the aroma of food coming from her house. It was the aroma of meat. How could this family cook meat every day? This was simply a temptation.

An hour later, Tang Shiyan and her friends prepared the food and placed it on the table. The guests they had invited were almost all there.

Commander Cheng shouted at the door, "Xia boy, what delicious food have you made? I can smell the aroma of food from far away."

"If you let those who can't eat it smell this, won't they think you did it on purpose?"

Yan Junyao immediately pulled her old man's sleeve and whispered, "Old man, can't you be a little quieter? Are you so loud because you're afraid that others won't know you're here?"

Commander Cheng: "Old lady, I just couldn't help myself for a moment, didn't I?"

Xia Jinnian saw that it was Commander Cheng and the others and immediately came over to greet them. "Several leaders have arrived. Please come in quickly. The food is already on the table."

Next came Xiao Yifei and Xiao Yixuan who came back from get off work. They were no longer guests since they met Tang Shiyan.

They ate at Tang Shiyan's house every day and never went to the cafeteria to get food. Even for breakfast, Xia Jinnian and his mother cooked it, and they came directly to eat.

Then there are Zhou Jinrui, Su Chengyuan, Feng Shuhuai, and Zhao Jie's family.

It took three tables to sit down. Fortunately, Tang Shiyan's house was spacious. If the house was smaller, so many people would not be able to sit.

Tang Shiyan took out some drinks and white wine. After all, they didn't have to work at night, and drinking some white wine wouldn't cause any problems. She wouldn't dare give them white wine at other times.

Those who could drink white wine picked up their cups and poured it into them. Children and other women drank beverages, and Tang Shiyan also poured herself a drink.

He picked up his cup and stood up and said to everyone, "Thank you all leaders and everyone for coming to my humble abode. I will drink first as a token of my respect. Everyone please feel free to drink."

"Everyone, enjoy your meal. Please forgive me for the poor hospitality. We won't talk about work during the meal. We can talk after dinner if we have anything to say."

"But what? I still want to take this opportunity to express my sincere gratitude to all the leaders and everyone present here."

"Thank you for your help and tolerance towards Jinnian and me. I hope we will meet again."

"Good, good," Commander Cheng clapped his hands and said, "Comrade Tang, you're really good at talking. It's a blessing for Xia to marry you."
