In addition to Brigade Commander Fang and Staff Officer Ge, there were also Jiang Che's direct leader, Regiment Commander Dong, two deputy regiment commanders, Deputy Regiment Commander Kong and Deputy Regiment Commander Xu, several battalion commanders from the 113th Regiment, the deputy battalion commander of the 1st Battalion, and Jiang Che's old comrades Yu Lifeng and Qin Lianhu.

There were only a few group leaders and deputy group leaders who came with their families, so there were quite a lot of people, sitting at one table in total, which was far different from Ji Wanqing's estimate.

"Hey, this is my sister-in-law, right? She's really capable of both cooking and cooking. Jiang Che is so lucky." Captain Dong's wife is a middle-aged woman in her forties. She looks smart and capable.

Ji Wanqing took the time to smile, "It is indeed his blessing to meet me."

According to the script, he was a loner and never married in his entire life.

"Pfft——" Ye Yaman burst out laughing. Aunt Zhuge glared at Xiaoni helplessly, then turned to Lin Lan and said, "Ignore her. That's just her personality."

"Haha." Lin Lan was no longer embarrassed, and walked to Aunt Zhuge's side warmly, "Aunt, why did you come here in person to light the fire? Let's go sit in the yard. I see that Xiao Jiang's vegetable garden is really well taken care of. My sister-in-law is obviously a virtuous woman. Let's not go to the kitchen to make trouble for her."

Brigade Commander Fang was the most senior of the visitors today, and since Aunt Zhuge had concealed her identity, the other two sisters-in-law also came over with a smile, praising her in every way they spoke.

Seeing the increasingly crowded kitchen, Aunt Zhuge thought for a moment and decided not to bother with the mess anymore. She turned around and took a group of people to the yard to chat, and the kitchen was put in order again.

At dinner time, the guests were all acquaintances, and they sat at the table chatting about everything under the sun. Jiang Che shuttled between the kitchen and the living room, serving dishes and water to the guests, and passing around bowls and chopsticks.

Seeing this busy schedule, Director Dong frowned, "Xiao Jiang, do you usually do these things at home?"

Jiang Che thought his leader cared about him, "Well, it's difficult."

Upon hearing this, Team Leader Dong's male chauvinism immediately flared up, "What are you doing in the kitchen every day, you grown man? These are jobs that women should do, so why did you marry a wife?"

The sound was quite loud, at least Ji Wanqing could hear it clearly in the kitchen.

What kind of feudal remnants are these? Are they the zombies of the Qing Dynasty?

Jiang Che was stunned. He obviously didn't expect that the old leader who had always supported him and always had his back on the battlefield would talk like this in real life.

He frowned, "Dong Tuan, now is the new society where women hold up half the sky. We men should be like Premier Zhou, be worthy of the Party and the people, and respect and cherish our loved ones."

As the topic reached a certain level of thought, Head Dong was speechless for a moment and could only hum twice, "Alright, alright, it's normal for you to be a little protective of your newlyweds. Stop busying yourself and come sit down to eat. The food is getting cold."

Jiang Che was the host, but he didn't even sit at the table. Everyone could only stare blankly at the delicious food on the table.

Jiang Che waited until Ji Wanqing served the last steamed perch before pulling everyone back to the table. "Thank you all for visiting my humble abode today. Qingqing and I would like to offer a toast to everyone. I hope everyone will enjoy their meals and drinks."

"Congratulations to Xiao Jiang Gao!"

"Deputy Commander Jiang has a bright future!"

Everyone raised their glasses to celebrate, and the awkward situation was slightly relieved.

Ji Wanqing glanced at the red-faced head of the group, Dong, and then sat at the table with the female guests to invite everyone to eat.

Brigade Commander Fang's family had tasted Ji Wanqing's cooking before, so they tried all the dishes on the table right away. The two little ones, Fang Yinghang and Fang Lanying, were especially fond of the rice.

The adults were much more reserved, praising Ji Wanqing's cooking skills again and again. Every word was delicious, and the good wine and good food made the atmosphere at the table very lively!

Lin Lan ate pork ribs and meat, and kept talking, "Oh, sister-in-law, how come you are such a good cook? It's all because Xiao Jiang dotes on you. I just heard from Aunt Zhu Ge that all the vegetables in the yard were prepared by Xiao Jiang. You are so lucky to have Xiao Jiang who loves his wife so much!"

Ji Wanqing poured her a glass of plum wine and said with a smile, "Yes, he has basically never done any work in my family except cooking. He takes care of the house and the fields by himself. He has been here for so long and I haven't had to worry about anything at all."

Maybe because she had drunk a few glasses of wine, Lin Lan expressed her true feelings a little, "Alas, Xiao Jiang is a good man. I was going to tell my niece about it, what a pity."

Ji Wanqing added a little more wine, lowered his voice slightly, and said with a smug and full of meaning, "My Jiang Che didn't care about the family so much before. After all, men are just like children. As long as we women are good at controlling our husbands, we can train a bad devil into a perfect man!"

"Huh!?" Lin Lan's eyes suddenly widened and he looked over in surprise.

Ji Wanqing's eyes flashed with panic, but she immediately smiled, "Oh, I really just drank a few glasses of wine and dared to say anything. Sister Lan, please don't mind me, I'm just talking nonsense."

After that, Ji Wanqing stopped paying attention to Lin Lan and talked to Ye Yaman about the re-examination. She learned that she had been successfully admitted and would go to work on time the day after tomorrow, Monday.

The children, with bloated bellies from eating too much, were having fun in the yard, while the adults were drinking, chatting and laughing, disturbing the whole family in the next yard, all with gloomy faces.

Aunt Yan cursed in a low voice: "Bah, you shameless little whore, how could I poison you all to death with a bag of nausea!"

"Mom!" Yan Chong frowned, put down his chopsticks, and spoke in a cold tone, "If you cause trouble again, I will have no choice but to send you back home to live with my eldest brother."

Aunt Yan couldn't believe it. "Son! Are you going to send me back just for this?"

Yan Chong rubbed the root of his nose, "Our regiment instructor talked to me once. The last time you caused trouble at the military factory gate, it caused a very serious impact on the atmosphere. If it happens again, I will be implicated and write a self-criticism!"

Aunt Yan said sarcastically, "It's just a kid playing around, isn't it worth her making such a fuss?"

Thinking of the instructor's admonition that the child still needs a mother to teach by example, Yan Chong glanced at He Xiaomiao and pondered for a moment, "Let Xiao Miao go back at the end of the month. You are getting better now and need someone to take care of you. It will also be good for my reputation to have another girl at home. I will do the heavy work when I come back."

He Xiaomiao was shocked, tears welled up in his eyes, "Brother Yan, I, I want to go back!"

She has always wanted to marry Yan Chong and become the group leader's wife!

Yan Chong stood up and didn't give her the right to refuse. "I'll give you two dollars for travel expenses. You must leave before the end of the month."

Next door, Captain Dong was drunk and fell asleep. Lin Lan, a woman, had drunk a little and had no energy, so she could only ask Captain Shen to call Captain Dong's guards over.

Ji Wanqing glanced at Lin Lan who was sobering up in the breeze in the courtyard, and beckoned Jiang Che, the little wolf dog who was washing dishes, over. The little wolf dog had drunk two glasses of wine, and his eyes were blurry. He circled her with his drunken breath, kissing and rubbing her, causing her to dodge left and right and hold back her laughter.

A sweet and sticky scent filled the dimly lit room.

Lin Lan was stunned, and thinking of Ji Wanqing's tricks to seduce her husband at the dinner table, she felt that she had an idea in mind.
