"well."
Wang Haibing smelled the aroma of mutton wafting from next door and heard the cheerful laughter, and couldn't help but sigh.
Looking at the shredded potatoes on the table with little oil and salt, he couldn't help but scold Yang Yufeng: "Can't you watch your mouth?"
"You've offended everyone in the family compound. I'm always cleaning up your messes. I must have had the worst luck in the world to marry someone like you."
"Wang Haibing, I gave birth to two sons and a daughter for your Wang family. Even if I didn't do anything great, I still put in a lot of effort. Do you have any conscience?"
Yang Yufeng wiped away her tears and immediately burst into tears.
She was already upset enough about apologizing to Lu Fangfang, but when she got home, her own husband was blaming her. She was in so much pain.
"You...you..."
Wang Haibing opened his mouth, then closed it again in frustration.
"Pah, you're blaming me? It's clearly because they don't respect you."
“I saw it all. Everyone from the First Battalion went, but they didn’t call you. They’re just trying to annoy you. You’re so incompetent, and you’re even taking your anger out on me.”
As Yang Yufeng spoke, she got more and more excited.
If her husband were a regimental commander or a political commissar, she wouldn't be suffering so much in this family compound.
"Bang!"
"What nonsense are you spouting?"
Wang Haibing, his face dark, slammed his hand on the table.
The two started arguing again.
The three children were used to it, sitting on the table.
They were eating their cornbread and shredded potatoes, completely absorbed in their meal, as if they hadn't heard the argument at all.
Da Niu looked eastward, smelled the aroma of meat, took a deep breath, and opened her mouth to bite into the cornbread.
...
In the house next door.
When Lu Fangfang saw that Zhuang Mingcheng had agreed to the wedding, she nodded in agreement as well.
She was still having a headache thinking about the materials needed to prepare for the banquet.
They had some dried argali and wolf meat, as well as a few dried rabbits, stored at home, but that wasn't enough for a banquet.
If all else fails, we'll have to go back into the mountains and try to hunt another mountain goat.
I wish I could find another one...
Lu Fangfang lowered her head and took a bite of the rock goat meat, silently thanking the snow leopard once again.
"Xiao Lu, don't worry about the things you need for the banquet. The troupe will provide them for you."
Upon hearing this, Lu Fangfang quickly waved her hands, "No, no, Commander, how can the troupe pay for my and Mingcheng's wedding? That won't do."
Beside him, Zhuang Mingcheng also shook his head and said, "This is not appropriate."
Hmm...
Gao Dajiang thought for a moment, "Then how about this, the troupe will get you some high-priced meat that doesn't require tickets, and you can just pay for it."
"That works."
Lu Fangfang knew that prices weren't high in those days. For example, Fuqiang flour was only 25 cents a pound. Even if the price doubled, she and Zhuang Mingcheng could still afford it with their salaries.
"Commander, could you get us some more flour that doesn't require coupons?"
How much do you want?
Lu Fangfang thought for a moment and said, "Two hundred catties, I'd like to treat the people in the camp to dumplings."
Gao Dajiang was taken aback for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay, I'll try to get it for you!"
"Thank you, Commander."
With the commander's words, Lu Fangfang felt relieved.
She still has some vegetables in the wasteland by the river, as well as some from Shufen's family. If she can gather them together, it should be enough.
After taking a sip of the argali soup, Lu Fangfang felt that something was missing tonight.
Hmm...
After looking around, she realized that everyone there tonight was only drinking and not smoking.
Especially the regimental commander, who is a chain smoker, didn't take out a cigarette once all night.
After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill and seen them off, Lu Fangfang asked Zhuang Mingcheng curiously.
“I told you you’re pregnant and can’t stand the smell of smoke.”
Lu Fangfang: "???"
She stared at Zhuang Mingcheng in astonishment. No wonder Gao Dajiang and Xiao Aiguo had proposed holding a ceremony tonight; it was all because of what her husband had said.
"Zhuang Mingcheng, what nonsense are you talking about?"
Zhuang Mingcheng looked innocent. "Wife, I'm only doing this for your own good. If I hadn't said that, the house would definitely be full of smoke again tonight."
"But you can't make up lies!"
Lu Fangfang glared at him fiercely.
Looking at the dishes and chopsticks on the table, she said with dissatisfaction, "You clean up tonight, I'm not going to bother."
Carrying a towel and a small basin, she planned to go to the yard to wash herself.
"Little Flower, Little Yellow Dog, you two come here."
Both little ones were dirty, so Lu Fangfang decided to give them a bath.
"Meow~"
"Awoo~"
Zhuang Mingcheng looked at it, smiled, and shook his head.
Fine, I'll clean it up myself.
Fortunately, everyone ate everything tonight, and there was nothing left in the bowls. He cleaned up the bones and then washed the dishes again.
Outside, after washing the two little ones, Lu Fangfang washed herself as well.
She was tired after a long day.
Holding the fluffy, clean little flower, she turned and went into the inner room.
Lying down on the heated kang bed she had built herself, she groaned comfortably.
"Home is still the best."
"Meow~"
Xiao Hua opened her mouth and yawned, then snuggled closer to Lu Fangfang.
It has been on guard every night for the past three days, and it must be exhausted.
After a while, Lu Fangfang was still not asleep when she heard Xiaohua in her arms snoring.
She took a quick sip and couldn't help but smile.
After a while, Zhuang Mingcheng finished tidying up, took a shower, and came in from outside.
He pulled his wife into his arms, only then noticing a little flower in the middle.
What are you doing?
"I want to discuss the wedding arrangements with you. Xiaohua is in the way."
"What's in the way? Put it down!"
Zhuang Mingcheng acted as if he hadn't heard anything, and hurriedly carried the still-sleeping Xiaohua out.
"Zhuang Mingcheng, you've really gone too far! Now you not only lie to people, but you also dare to disobey me."
Seeing Zhuang Mingcheng enter, Lu Fangfang kicked him angrily.
"Honey, let's try harder, and then I won't be lying."
"Hey? What are you doing? Weren't we discussing the wedding?"
"There's no rush."
