Fu Yunzheng only smiled faintly. The other brothers also greeted Lu Qing'er and took their seats. Lu Qing'er smiled and perfunctorily responded to each one, her eyes only focused on the handsome man.
He was not wearing a military uniform today, but casual clothes, a rare sight. He wore a military green top with khaki casual pants. His broad shoulders and narrow waist made him look more relaxed and unrestrained.
Lu Qing'er's face turned red as she watched. After spending so much time with a rough guy like Gu Fujun, it was rare for her to see a gentle man like Fu Yunzheng. She couldn't take her eyes off him.
At this time, Gu Fujun reminded her in a hoarse voice, "Hey, wife, why are you in a daze? Didn't you say there is soup? Hurry and bring it up."
Lu Qing'er finally came to her senses and quickly replied guiltily, "...yes, yeah, I'll go right away, right away."
The aroma of food filled the entire room. Lu Qing'er brought out the carefully prepared soup with graceful steps, and she put the soup bowl down with a smile.
He said, "Everyone, come and eat. You don't have to wait for me. I've also prepared rice and noodles for everyone. I don't know your tastes, so just eat whichever you like."
When she said this, she couldn't help but look at Fu Yunzheng with anticipation in her eyes.
Fu Yunzheng looked at the table full of delicious food and patted Gu Fujun on the shoulder, saying, "Old Gu, you're spending too much."
Gu Fujun waved his hand and said nonchalantly, "Hey, what's the big deal? It's a rare occasion for us brothers to get together. Let's eat, eat, eat, don't be polite."
The other brothers all smiled and said to Lu Qing'er, "Thank you, sister-in-law, for both noodles and rice. You are so thoughtful."
"Yes, there are so many dishes. You must have worked so hard."
Lu Qing'er smiled somewhat reluctantly, "No, it's my duty."
She was expecting Fu Yunzheng to say something to her, but he was chatting and laughing with Gu Fujun and the others, and seemed not to notice that there was anything different about her today, which made Lu Qing'er feel disappointed.
Her craftsmanship was indeed good. Although Fu Yunzheng didn't say anything, everyone else started praising her.
"Sister-in-law, your cooking skills are really good. These dishes are so delicious just by looking at them."
"Yeah." Xiao Wu picked up a piece of braised pork with chopsticks and ate it with relish, mumbling, "Sister-in-law's cooking skills are simply amazing! This meat is so delicious, it's much better than the big pot dishes in our cafeteria!"
"Of course not! This spicy chicken is also good, fragrant and spicy. Old Gu, you are lucky. Not only is your sister-in-law beautiful, but she is also a great cook."
The other brothers chimed in, praising him one after another. Lu Qing'er, for once, showed some displeasure. "Don't make fun of me, I just made a few home-cooked dishes. If you don't mind, it's fine."
As she spoke, she couldn't help but glance at Fu Yunzheng from the corner of her eye. However, Fu Yunzheng was smiling as he listened to his brothers' laughter and chatter, not noticing her staring at all.
Gu Fujun was even more elated, feeling that he had indeed married a good wife. It was all thanks to her hard work during this period that she was able to prepare such a decent table of dishes today.
He couldn't help but pat his chest and said, "Of course, my luck has always been good. My wife is a capable lady in the living room and a good cook in the kitchen. I've found a treasure!"
After hearing this, the brothers burst into laughter again.
Amidst the laughter, Xiao Wu noticed that Lu Qing'er was still standing, and quickly said, "Sister-in-law, please stop busying yourself and sit down to eat first."
