"I don't care what you are thinking, just take it away from me."
"Dad...you..."
Tan Shu quickly stopped his daughter from speaking.
"Old Jane, we all know. Don't worry, it's time to control our daughter's temper. I'll have a good talk with her when we get home."
"snort."
Political Commissar Jian did not believe what Tan Shu said, but this was not his home, so he would not say anything else.
Fu Wencheng followed his wife into the kitchen and immediately hugged her in his arms.
"young married woman."
Ming Leyao looked helplessly at the man who had been with the sticky syndrome for the past two days..
"Hurry up and serve the food. Don't leave the guests in the house."
"Okay, okay, I'll bring it right away."
Cabbage stewed with meat, chicken stewed with mushrooms, radish and meatball soup, braised fish, scrambled eggs, shredded potatoes with vinegar, and flatbreads made from two-grain flour. Ming Leyao made the portions generous and used large basins, bowls, and plates. Just these few dishes filled the entire table.
Looking at the table full of dishes, the three members of the Jian family were stunned.
Meat...
It's all meat...
Smells so good..
Even Commissar Jian, who never paid much attention to his appetite, secretly swallowed his saliva...
Tan Shu and Jian Shanshan, mother and daughter, looked at each other, greed in their eyes that could not be concealed.
They knew that Fu Wencheng's salary was not low, but the shock they felt from imagining it was different from what they actually saw.
How rich must one be to be able to afford to eat so much meat???
"Mom, I told you that Brother Wen Cheng is very good to me. Look at this huge table of food. Brother Wen Cheng must have put a lot of effort into getting it, right?"
"Shanshan is right, Wen Cheng, we are not strangers, there is no need to be so cautious, it costs you money."
The mother and daughter did not mention Ming Leyao at all, as if they believed that the meal was all paid for by Fu Wencheng. After all, Ming Leyao was a country bumpkin, how much money could she have? She was just a poor bastard.
"Aunt, my wife prepared all the meals for us today. You are thanking the wrong person."
"Is... is that so? Hehehe... hehehe..."
Tan Shu didn't expect Fu Wencheng to ignore the conversation, and his face looked a little ugly for a moment.
"Commissar Jian, your care for Wen Cheng is more valuable than these dishes. My husband and I truly regard you as our elder. As long as you enjoy the food, these dishes are worth it."
Ming Leyao's words made Political Commissar Jian feel much better, and at the same time he had a deeper understanding of Ming Leyao.
This little girl is no ordinary girl. She doesn't look like a female comrade from a production team at all.
Come to think of it, how could a woman who could be the wife of Fu Wencheng, a black-bellied boy, be incompetent?
"Okay, I received your kindness. Come on, let's eat."
Someone took the lead, and Fu Wencheng followed suit, picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of chicken leg, and naturally put it in Ming Leyao's bowl.
Ming Leyao raised her head and gave her man a sweet smile. Fu Wencheng looked at her lovingly and tenderly, and whispered, "If you want to eat something and can't reach it, just tell me."
"Uh-huh."
Jian Shanshan watched the interaction between the two and her eyes turned red with anger.
Tan Shu patted her thigh under the table and gave her a reassuring smile.
"Le Yao, working in the production team must be very hard, right? You work hard every day, facing the earth and back to the sky, and you may not even have enough to eat. But if you marry Wen Cheng, you will be in a good place. In the future, if you follow the army, your life will be brighter."
"What you said is true, auntie. I have never been wronged in the production team. Even if I don't marry Wen Cheng, my life will not be hard."
"Really? That's good. There are literacy classes in the production team, right?"
"The literacy classes were cancelled a long time ago, and now there are schools in the production teams."
"You have a school? Are you in school?"
Tan Shu was surprised and blurted out his ultimate goal.
"Tan Shu, can't you keep your mouth shut even if you eat?"
"Hey, Old Jian, I'm just asking. Wen Cheng went to university through self-study. He's a role model in our military. Our Shanshan is determined to learn from Wen Cheng. Look, her high school graduation grades are above average. Several units are vying for her. She's the only one who can choose. She's still being investigated. In my opinion, she has to be educated, otherwise she won't even be able to find a good job. Don't you think so, Le Yao?"
"I don't agree with what you said, Auntie. Everyone has their own meaning in the world. Without those hard-working people, how could the country be so prosperous today? It's not just culture that can create value. People with skills, hard work, and dedication to the people and the country always have their shining points."
Ming Leyao's words were highly appreciated by Political Commissar Jian. He himself originally had a low status and had climbed up from the bottom step by step, so he could empathize the most.
But to Tan Shu, these words sounded like Ming Leyao's excuse for her lack of culture.
"Yes, I agree with what Le Yao said, but I think that for a couple to get along, they should have common topics to talk about so that they can live together for a long time. You can't let Wen Cheng always accommodate you and talk about simple things like food, clothing, housing and transportation."
The smile on Ming Leyao's face did not change, but she sneered in her heart.
The abacus beads were almost bouncing onto her face across the dining table.
"I don't know about other couples, but we do have a good relationship. After all, it was Wen Cheng who came to me desperately. If he doesn't treat me well, I will punish him."
After saying that, her eyes moved and she glanced at Fu Wencheng with a reproachful look.
The glint in the corner of her eye went straight into Fu Wencheng's heart.
"Wife, my promise is not just talk. You have to have faith in me, and even more so in yourself."
“Well, I do have a lot of confidence in myself.”
The two of them were showing their affection as if no one was around, and didn't respond to Tan Shu's words at all, which made her face darker.
After being warned by her husband's eyes, she could only continue to eat the food on the table quietly, but it tasted like chewing wax and had no flavor.
Jian Shanshan saw her mother defeated, her eyes rolled around, and she suddenly sighed and said, "Time flies. It's been almost three months since Brother Wen Cheng recovered from his injury and returned to the team. Thinking about the days when you were in the hospital and I brought you food and guarded you every day, it seems like it was just yesterday."
Ming Leyao raised her eyebrows slightly when she heard her words.
My goodness, he was blatantly making things difficult for her, and he was just short of telling her directly that she, Jian Shanshan, liked Fu Wencheng.
She turned to look at Fu Wencheng, only to see that his face was gloomy. After feeling her gaze, he immediately became aggrieved.
"Wife, Jian Shanshan sent me meals for two days, but she never came again after she learned that I was disabled for life. Wife, you are so kind. You stayed with me when my legs were disabled. I have no way to repay you, so I can only repay you with myself."
"......"
Only Fu Wencheng could say such shameless words.
