Seeing Wang Haibing lead his wife home, Lu Fangfang shook her head, turned around, and closed the courtyard gate.
She had originally wanted to invite Wang Haibing in to eat with her, but after hearing Yang Yufeng's words, she immediately lost that idea.
Forget it, just like my husband said, when her family invites guests, they can invite whoever they want.
"What's wrong?"
Hearing the noise, Zhuang Mingcheng quickly walked out of the house.
Lu Fangfang recounted what had just happened.
In particular, she repeated Yang Yufeng's words directly to Zhuang Mingcheng's face.
"Mingcheng, they must be at home, they heard what was going on here..."
“I don’t resent her man. It was your decision not to invite Wang Haibing. I’m so wronged.”
Lu Fangfang felt wronged whenever she thought about it.
She even took the initiative to have her husband invite Wang Haibing along.
"Alright, alright, it's not your fault. I was just being petty. Let's ignore them."
Zhuang Mingcheng comforted his wife, though he was also quite angry inside.
Yang Yufeng's words are so insincere that it would have been better if she hadn't come to apologize at all.
"Forget it, it's not worth getting angry over someone like that."
Lu Fangfang took a deep breath and went into the house with her husband.
A smile returned to her face, and she asked the crowd, "Comrades, do you eat cilantro?"
"Eat, sister-in-law, we eat everything, we don't have any dietary restrictions."
"Yes, sister-in-law, go ahead and put it in."
"Alright, I'll put it on for you then."
Lu Fangfang took a stack of bowls from the cupboard and then went to the yard.
The heads and bones of the argali sheep stewing in the big pot were already very tender. She picked them up with a spoon, skimmed them, and ladled them into a bowl.
After filling the bowl, she pinched a handful of cilantro and sprinkled it into the bowl.
A unique fragrance immediately wafted up.
Lu Fangfang couldn't help but swallow as she smelled it.
"Comrade Dazhuang, please take these in for me, one bowl for each person."
"Sister-in-law, give it to me."
Hao Dazhuang took the bowl, turned around, and carried it into the house.
Just as Lu Fangfang was about to serve another bowl, she saw her husband come over with a small basin.
What are you doing?
Zhuang Mingcheng didn't say anything. He picked up a spoon and started rummaging through the pot.
There were three ibex hooves in the pot, and he scooped them all out and put them in a small enamel basin.
He had eaten argali before; the hooves were soft, chewy, and very fragrant.
He picked up the spoon and rummaged through the pot again.
"Fangfang, do you want to eat sheep brains? They're nutritious. If you do, I'll serve you some."
Lu Fangfang was taken aback, then felt a bit amused and exasperated.
Okay, so this enamel basin was for my own use.
Um……
Everyone else uses bowls, but she uses a small enamel basin. The love her husband shows her is truly profound.
"Eat, scoop it all up for me, I'll eat anything."
Zhuang Mingcheng was amused; he had thought his wife wouldn't eat this.
Holding a spoon, he scooped up sheep brains for his wife, and then scooped up mutton.
"Don't just grab the meat, get me some ribs too, I like gnawing on bones too."
"Don't worry, we'll get it right away."
Zhuang Mingcheng filled a small bowl to the brim with good stuff before putting down his spoon.
"I've brought it inside first. Once you're done, come in and eat quickly before it gets cold."
Lu Fangfang responded, glanced at the number of people in the room, and then picked up a bowl to serve the food.
Everyone inside came out at this point, and without Hao Dazhuang's help, they lined up in front of Lu Fangfang to wait.
"Thank you, sister-in-law."
"Thank you, sister-in-law."
Lu Fangfang turned her head and looked at it, then couldn't help but laugh.
She felt like she was working in a cafeteria, serving food to others.
The pot we used today was big, and we served everyone a bowl, but there was still more than half left in the pot.
She put a few more pieces of firewood into the stove to keep the pot hot, then turned and went inside.
"Please don't be shy, eat more, there's plenty left in the pot."
"Xiao Lu, sit down and eat. Xiao Zhuang is their battalion commander. He's been leading troops for several years. He won't stand on ceremony with you. I guarantee there won't be a single bite left."
"Sister-in-law, the regimental commander is right. We won't stand on ceremony with the battalion commander."
"Sister-in-law, please don't worry about us."
"That's great, don't be shy, just treat it like home."
On the table, Zhuang Mingcheng waved to his wife.
Lu Fangfang walked over quickly and sat down next to her husband.
The stewed mutton for tonight was made with plenty of ingredients; she'd been craving it for ages.
She picked up an enamel spoon, ladled out some mutton soup, and took a small sip first.
Hmm...
After taking a bite, Lu Fangfang couldn't help but praise it.
The mutton was fresh and fragrant, with much less of a gamey smell. It was simply delicious. She took a small enamel spoon and quickly drank a few more mouthfuls.
The other people at the table didn't have enamel spoons.
They simply picked up the bowls and started slurping.
For a moment, the room was filled with the sounds of people drinking rock goat soup.
After a while, Gao Dajiang put down his bowl and gave Zhuang Mingcheng and Lu Fangfang a thumbs up.
"Xiao Lu, the rock goat meat you cooked is really good, it's so fragrant, so delicious."
Beside him, Xiao Aiguo nodded in agreement, "This meat soup is much better than the cafeteria's. Xiao Lu, why don't you go and be the head chef in the cafeteria?"
"Commander, Political Commissar, this was cooked by Mingcheng. I just tended the fire. Let him be the head chef."
The two were quite surprised. "Xiao Zhuang, you have this trick up your sleeve?"
Zhuang Mingcheng humbly replied, "The main reason is that the meat is good."
While eating, everyone started talking about things in the group.
The military region personnel will be coming to the regiment for assessment in the second half of the month; this is the most important event for the regiment this year.
