The scene was already extremely awkward because of Feng Tingting's arrival, but now because of these words, it became as quiet as a pool of stagnant water.

Qian 꺶땢 couldn't control his sister-in-law, so he just gave up and just peeled peanuts on the table, with no intention of saying anything to help out.

Jiang Che's face darkened, and he wanted to refuse sternly, but Ji Wanqing beat him to it, "What does this lady want to see my lover?"

In the past, she would never have had the leisure to protect her partner from romantic misfortunes.

However, the two are currently in a strong relationship, in other words, they are in the passionate period of love, and occasionally showing some possessiveness and asserting sovereignty can be a kind of fun.

Feng Tingting's eyes were hurt, and she kept looking at Ji Wanqing and Jiang Che. She clenched her fists and choked with sobs, and said stubbornly, "Private matter."

Ji Wanqing's eyes were clear, "I'm sorry, my love, I don't have any private matters here, you can talk to me directly."

"You! You are too much!" Feng Tingting was shocked.

In her heart, Brother Jiang is a hero who stands tall and proud! How could he have no privacy after marrying a wife!

Ji Wanqing tilted her head and asked Jiang Che, "Is it too much?"

Jiang Che immediately agreed: "I'd enjoy it."

She smiled, very satisfied with the answer.

Feng Tingting was about to cry, "Brother Jiang! Why did you marry such a strong-willed wife! Is it because she is beautiful? But appearance will age. When her beauty is gone, can you really tolerate her dominance and spend your whole life with her?!"

Ji Wanqing was very calm, "Being beautiful is one of my most insignificant advantages. If you are as good as me, there will naturally be other good men who will approach you, and they will not pay too much attention to married women."

If we put it bluntly, it would be too unpleasant to hear.

Feng Yun stood up and said, "What do you mean? What do you mean by married woman? My sister can't even talk to Jiang Che? We are innocent, why do you want to be so dirty? There is an old saying that goes, a person with a dirty heart will see everything as dirty!"

Ji Wanqing burst out laughing, "You can scold me if you want to, but why do you scold my family as well? Do you think I'm the only one who can see it?"

Yang Yu's wife was a straightforward person. She crossed her arms and snorted coldly, "Feng Yun, it was fine if you insisted on bringing your sister to our gatherings before! But today we have been notified in advance that Lao Jiang will bring his new wife to introduce her to everyone. Why are you still so ignorant? Okay, since you are here, we will just turn a blind eye and save face for the little girl, but don't take us too lightly!"

"Chen Fangfang!" Feng Yun gritted her teeth, "What does this have to do with you?! I want you to come here and speak for her!"

Chen Fangfang rolled her eyes, "I'm here to help when I see injustice, okay? It's New Year's Eve, but you're trying to make my family unhappy. If you do this again, don't come to our annual gatherings anymore!"

Seeing that Brother Jiang didn't even glance at her, Feng Tingting couldn't stand the blow any longer, so she covered her face and ran away sobbing.

Feng Yun was worried that something had happened to her sister, so she glared at Ji Wanqing and Jiang Che, then left.

After the two sisters left, Qian was obviously relieved. "I'm sorry, brothers and sisters-in-law, especially Lao Jiang and his wife. I'm sorry, sorry! Oh, I really can't do it. When two women start crying, they are like a hundred ducks quarreling. I really can't stand it! I'll punish myself with three cups of wine first, punish myself with three cups of wine!"

Chen Fangfang didn't like it, "We know you have no choice." Who asked the old couple of the Feng family to help them with money?

"Oh! Let's not talk about this." Qian drank three cups of wine. "Old Jiang, there will be a transfer next year. I plan to go to the border to gain a few years of experience."

Jiang Che frowned slightly, "There is no such thing as faking qualifications at the border. Foreign forces are ready to make a move. Even now during the Chinese New Year, our division has two regiments stationed at the border defense front on standby."

"Hey, these are just minor frictions. The Americans are threatening us with nuclear weapons. There's no way a real war can break out!" Qian was not very pleased. "I've been in this position for a long time, but my military rank has never been promoted. I still need military medals to work!"

Three cups of wine on an empty stomach makes you feel like a god.

Jiang Che glanced at him and said nothing more.

Maybe people always change. The original intention of joining the army was to protect their country, but now everyone has their own aspirations, and some people are no longer passers-by.

Yang Yu and the others took the opportunity to talk about the recent frequent armed conflicts provoked by Vietnam on the border.

"Well, not only that, they also intend to encroach on our border territory." Jiang Che's combat mission that took him away from home for half a month was related to this. He simply picked out some things to say, and the man with blood slammed the table and glared, wishing he could beat those Vietnamese monkeys to death!

"How shameless! We provided them with weapons and ammunition to help them fight against the US and France, but who knew that after the internal liberation war was over, they would turn around and use these weapons to seize our islands and land!"

"What an ungrateful bastard! I even want to apply for a transfer!"

While we were chatting, the roast duck chef came over carrying a roast duck with brown-red skin and plump meat.

Ji Wanqing watched as he took a long knife and cut the duck vertically. The rich juice immediately flowed along the blade, and then he cut the duck meat into semicircular slices one by one with a horizontal cut, creating a beautiful peony flower shape on the plate.

Open the pancake, put the duck meat with skin dipped in sweet noodle sauce, put a few scallions on it, and roll it up to half the size of a palm, making it easy to eat.

Ji Wanqing couldn't wait to try one.

The taste is similar to that of later generations, except that the rolls are chewier, the scallions are sweeter, and the duck is more tender and fragrant. It tastes more satisfying and leaves a lingering feeling between the lips, tongue, and teeth when chewing.

No matter what kind of food is used in this era, its raw materials are obviously better than those in later generations!

After slicing the roast duck, the chef introduced that their ducks were smoked with fruit wood. Ji Wanqing tasted a piece without dipping it in sauce and indeed tasted a bit of the original aroma of the fruit wood. It was more flavorful than those roasted in ovens in later generations.

Ji Wanqing was very satisfied with the meal and decided to have another meal before leaving Beijing.

After having a little wine at home for dinner, Jiang Che's eyesight was still clear and he didn't need Ji Wanqing's support.

Qian got so drunk that he had to be driven home by Mrs. Yang Yu.

Chen Fangfang sat in the driver's seat, "Xiao Ji, if there is anything in the future, let's write to each other and keep in touch!"

"Okay, Sister Fangfang, please drive carefully at night!"

"Okay, we'll be leaving first. See you next time!"

After returning home, Jiang Che fell asleep early because of drinking. Ji Wanqing began to count the days left before the Chinese New Year.

She said that the Chinese New Year holidays are more tiring than working.

Fortunately, tomorrow is New Year's Eve.

Our holiday ends on the tenth day of the first lunar month, but we have to stay at home for a day or two to relax, and reserve two or three days to spend on the road. Our return tickets are scheduled for the first lunar month.

On New Year's Eve, Ji Wanqing and Jiang Che dressed up and went to Jiang's house early.

Although they couldn't live together, but according to Qin Ying's idea, since they had finally come back, they could use that place as a place to stay. They would usually eat and rest here, so that the brothers could get together in a good way.

With the return of the second brother Jiang Tao, the atmosphere at home has become noticeably more lively. Ji Wanqing just came to the kitchen to ask if there is anything he can help with.

Then Bai Ling said, "Mom, I think my sister's two children from the Wang family are so pitiful. How about we bring them over to celebrate the New Year together this year?"
