Almost every man has a strong possessive desire for the woman he loves.
It is precisely because of this possessiveness that even though he believes Lin Qingyan will not be fickle, he still dislikes Dong Yue.
Seeing Dong Yue chatting with his wife made him even more unhappy.
This scene was, of course, witnessed by Zhou Qingqing, who had been watching the two of them. Zhou Qingqing felt jealous and wished she could turn her gaze into knives and stab Lin Qingyan to death.
Seeing that she was staring at Dong Yue and Lin Qingyan, Zhao Mei said, "Isn't that the woman who killed the wild boar the other day and stole the show at the commendation meeting? By the way, she's Battalion Commander Lu's wife. Battalion Commander Lu is fishing. Who's that man next to her? What's their relationship? They were chatting and laughing together."
Zhou Qingqing wanted to say that the two of them had an improper relationship, but she couldn't easily say such a thing out of her mouth.
"Who knows? They're married, and he's still seeing other gay men. Isn't he afraid his partner will get jealous?"
"Qingqing, if you put it that way, they have an improper relationship. Qingqing, do you know something else?" Zhao Mei looked at Zhou Qingqing with a gossipy expression.
Zhou Qingqing chuckled to herself, realizing that calling out Zhao Mei, that pig-headed idiot, was definitely the right thing to do.
She shook her head and said to Zhao Mei, "Whether they have an improper relationship or not is for you to see for yourself. I don't know anything about it."
Zhao Mei glanced over there again for a while, then looked at Zhou Qingqing. The more mysterious Zhou Qingqing was, the more it meant that the two of them had an improper relationship.
"I never thought that Battalion Commander Lu's wife would be so greedy. But look at Battalion Commander Lu, his wife is about to be stolen away by someone else, and he doesn't even react. Sigh, he'll be dumbfounded when he doesn't have a wife anymore."
Zhou Qingqing didn't respond to Zhao Mei's words, but she was very satisfied.
After a while, Lu Zhengting's fishing float moved, and he quickly pulled the fishing line. A fat and big carp was frantically thrashing its tail and was pulled out of the lake.
He excitedly called out to Lin Qingyan, "Wife, wife, look! I caught one! I caught one!"
Lin Qingyan immediately went over and praised Lu Zhengting, "My man is amazing."
Lu Zhengting was overjoyed and raised an eyebrow at Lin Qingyan, "I can catch a few more."
"Okay, go ahead and fish."
Seeing that there were already two fish in the bucket, Lin Qingyan said, "I need to go back and cook as soon as possible. I'll take these two fish back first."
“Okay.” Lu Zhengting suddenly thought of something else: “Honey, can you kill the fish? It’s too fishy. How about I give the fishing rod to the two of them and I’ll go back with you.”
Lin Qingyan smiled, her lips curving into a smile more beautiful than any flower.
"Okay, let's go back together."
Lu Zhengting called out to Dong Yue, handed him the fishing rod, and then went home with Lin Qingyan.
Zhou Qingqing and Zhao Mei, finding nothing else to see on the shore, also went for a stroll.
Lu Zhengting and Lin Qingyan returned home. Lin Qingyan went to prepare other dishes first, while Lu Zhengting went to kill the fish.
More than an hour later, Lin Zhiheng and Dong Yue returned, each carrying two fish.
At this moment, Lu Zhengting was also in the kitchen helping Lin Qingyan cook. Lin Zhiheng went in and asked Lin Qingyan, "Sister, the company commander and I each caught two more fish. What should we do with these four fish? Should we kill them now?"
When Lin Qingyan heard that there were still four fish left, she wanted to give one to each of her two neighbors.
"We can't finish them all anyway, so how about we give one to each of our two neighbors, and kill the remaining two and make them into dried fish? That way you can eat them next time you come back. What do you think?"
"Okay, sister. I'm fine with it. How about I deliver the fish to the neighbor right now?"
Lin Zhiheng readily agreed.
Firstly, he would never object to Lin Qingyan's idea; secondly, since he was not at home, he hoped that the two neighbors could take care of his sister.
"Okay, go ahead."
Dong Yue went fishing purely for entertainment and to pass the time. Besides, he was going to eat here today, so he wouldn't interfere with how the fish were handled.
Lin Zhiheng delivered a fish to the Zhang family and the Yang family. After returning, he and Dong Yue killed the two fish. Under Lin Qingyan's guidance, they then marinated the killed fish.
Lin Qingyan made braised pork, twice-cooked pork, braised spare ribs, and two fish were made into braised fish and sweet and sour fish respectively. She also stir-fried eggs and wood ear mushrooms, made cucumber salad, minced meat and eggplant, and the staple food was rice.
Each of these dishes is visually appealing, fragrant, and delicious, making them incredibly tempting.
The group carried the food to the table together, then sat down. Before even starting to eat, the aroma of the food was enough to make their mouths water.
Dong Yue couldn't help but exclaim, "This is much better than what I ate in the canteen during the Spring Festival. It seems I'm getting such a sumptuous meal thanks to Comrade Xiao Lin."
Lin Qingyan smiled and said, "If you think it's good, you can come here with Xiao Heng often in the future."
Lu Zhengting's expression changed slightly, and he coughed lightly. Unfortunately, his wife didn't hear him at all, nor did she realize that he had any objections. She remained very enthusiastic towards Dong Yue.
He was immediately confused as to why his wife was so good to Dong Yue.
Based on his understanding of his wife, if a man had ulterior motives towards her, she would quickly realize it and refuse to have any contact with him, like Gu Mingzhou.
But he felt that his wife had no aversion to Dong Yue at all. When she looked at Dong Yue, her eyes were still pure and innocent, unlike when she looked at him, which were mixed with tenderness and lust.
Well, his wife only ever leered at him. Apart from him, he hadn't noticed any other man his wife looked at with the same gaze she gave him.
Perhaps she just felt that Dong Yue was Lin Zhiheng's company commander, so she was nicer to Dong Yue and wanted him to take better care of Lin Zhiheng.
That's definitely true, no doubt about it.
Dong Yue was invited again and felt embarrassed, saying, "I can't keep coming here to freeload meals."
"Didn't you return the fish?" Lin Qingyan asked, trying to avoid making him feel guilty.
Dong Yue smiled and said, "Alright then, since I'll be going to the military canteen during my break anyway, it's more lively here, it feels a bit like coming home."
"Yes, soldiers are away from home most of the year, sometimes not even once a year. Who wouldn't miss home?"
They ate half of it, and then Lin Qingyan went back to the kitchen. When she returned, she had a plate of pastries in her hand, a plate of steaming brown sugar cake, which she placed in the center of the table.
Lin Qingyan said to Dong Yue, "When Xiao Heng came back today, he gave me some brown sugar cakes to eat. He said you gave them to him. I thought they were delicious, just like the ones I ate when I was a child. I really miss that feeling. So I made some. Why don't you try them and see how they taste?"
Dong Yue picked up a piece with his chopsticks and put it in his mouth. The taste was just as good as his grandmother's.
