With Zhang Xiaolan's help, Xie Wan cooked the meal with ease.
She stir-fried the pork belly with garlic sprouts.
The "grass stick" was chopped into pieces and used to make home-cooked boiled fish.
Because the fish was so big, it filled three washbasins.
There are also various vegetables and dozens of corns.
At noon, everyone crowded into Zhang Xiaolan's house to have lunch.
There were six comrades who came to help, and the men sat at one table.
Mrs. Zhang's family and Xie Wan sat at the same table.
Battalion Commander Jiang also took out two bottles of "Jianzhuang" and invited his comrades to drink together.
When Captain Jiang filled everyone's glasses, he said, "Wuliangye is delicious, but Jianzhuang is more cost-effective. For ordinary people like us, Jianzhuang is more practical."
Qin Muye declined, saying that he didn't drink.
He was ridiculed by his comrades.
"Muye, you wouldn't dare to drink in front of Xiao Xie, right?"
Qin Muye glanced at Xie Wan shyly.
The corner of Xie Wan's lips twitched. Why did this guy look so pitiful? When did she stop him from drinking?
Xie Wan had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "Drink, but don't get drunk."
Qin Muye immediately said with a smile: "I'll only drink one glass, I promise I won't get drunk."
The comrades started to make a noise again: "They haven't even gotten married yet, and they're already henpecked!"
Qin Muye glanced at Xie Wan and said, "As long as my Xiao Wan is willing to take care of me, I'll be happy!"
Everyone laughed.
Xie Wan blushed.
Damn, is this guy deliberately taking this opportunity to show off his affection in front of everyone?
However, although Xie Wan was shy, she felt really sweet inside after hearing these words.
After dinner, the men continued to work.
By the evening, most of the work was done.
Especially the terrazzo floor.
Because there is no electric grinding wheel, it can only be polished by hand.
If there weren't so many of them, they really wouldn't be able to finish the task in one day.
Now just waiting for the land to dry.
After all his comrades left, Qin Muye locked the door and sent Xie Wan home.
Xie Wan gave Qin Muye the drawings of the combination cabinets he had drawn.
"Makino, please help me find a carpenter and I'll pay for the furniture."
"No, I've saved all my allowances over the past few years, it's more than enough."
Xie Dahong has already told Xie Wan that he will give her one thousand yuan as a dowry after she decides on a date for her wedding.
Xie Wan thought that one thousand yuan would be enough to buy the popular "three turns and one ring" furniture.
"No, my dad paid for it."
"Master Xie is treating you very well now."
"It's okay, but I haven't forgiven him."
…
The two of them walked and chatted, and Xie Wanqing couldn't help but put her arm around Qin Muye's arm.
Qin Muye's body immediately tensed up.
He said nothing more and walked stiffly.
Xie Wan said several words but didn't hear his response before she reacted.
Seeing his nervous look, Xie Wan was happy.
She poked Qin Muye's chest and said mockingly, "Weren't you shameless enough to show your affection in public at noon? Why are you shy now?"
Qin Muye blushed to his neck and stubbornly retorted: "Who is shy?"
The two of them just walked under a tree. The light was dim. Xie Wan stopped and pointed at Qin Muye's lips and said, "You're not shy. Let me kiss you?"
Qin Muye looked around nervously, then said, "Xiao Wan, let's wait until we get the certificate."
Xie Wan knew that people nowadays were feudal, so she snorted, stood on tiptoes, and kissed Qin Muye on the face.
Qin Muye's eyes widened and his whole body froze.
Xie Wan found him even more amusing when she saw him like this. She raised her hand and tickled his chin, then said with a smile, "Are you stupid?"
Qin Muye suddenly came to his senses and pulled Xie Wan to hide in the shadow behind the tree.
Xie Wan thought that he had gotten wise to the situation because of the benefit he received, and wanted to take her to hide under a tree for a passionate kiss.
She was just joking.
She would be shy if we really had a passionate kiss.
But I am looking forward to it...
The two of them squeezed behind a tree, Xie Wan looked at Qin Muye, and Qin Muye looked at the road outside.
Xie Wan closed her eyes, waiting for his kiss to fall.
After waiting for a long while, there was no movement, and I thought this guy must still be cowardly.
He opened his eyes and prepared to take the initiative.
Then she heard Qin Muye hiss at her and say, "Don't talk, there are footsteps."
After waiting for a while, two people passed by on the road.
Qin Muye didn't even dare to breathe.
Xie Wan placed her hand on his chest and felt his heart beating rapidly under her palm.
"Xiao Wan, don't touch me."
Qin Muye clamped Xie Wan's hand.
After the two men walked away, Qin Muye took a long breath and said to Xie Wan: "Let's go, let's go too!"
Xie Wan was stunned: "You pulled me in because you were afraid people would see you?"
Qin Muye said awkwardly: "Xiao Wan, after all, we haven't got the marriage certificate yet. It would be a mistake if someone saw us."
Xie Wan stamped her feet in anger: "Then take it!
Without proof, I would be like a thief if I kissed my boyfriend.”
Qin Muye was ecstatic: "Xiao Wan, do you agree to get the marriage certificate?"
Xie Wangang was just speaking in anger, but after being asked this question, he calmed down.
"What do you want to receive? I haven't graduated yet. Let's talk about it after I graduate."
Qin Muye asked cunningly: "Can we get the certificate as long as we get our diploma?"
Xie Wan didn't doubt him and nodded: "Yes, we'll get the certificate after graduation."
Qin Muye said: "This is easy, we will start recruiting soldiers next month.
As long as you are selected, the school can let you take the exam in advance and issue you a diploma."
Xie Wan was surprised: "Is this possible?"
This is too fast.
Xie Wan was a little overwhelmed.
She hasn't decided yet whether to participate in the recruitment.
"Qin Muye, I want to study medicine in the future."
"That's perfect. Some of the female soldiers we recruited this time are to expand the medical team."
“I studied Chinese medicine.”
"It shouldn't matter much. Besides, after you join the army, you may be recommended to the Military Medical University in the future."
Xie Wan thought about it and it made sense. Nowadays, all universities in society only recruit students from workers, peasants and soldiers. Joining the army and striving to be recommended to the Military Medical University was indeed a very good choice.
Xie Wan figured it out and decided to join the recruitment.
She felt like she was being tricked by Qin Muye again.
Xie Wan tapped Qin Muye's chest and said, "Tell me the truth, did you plan this all out?
Are you in such a hurry to get married?"
Qin Muye felt a little guilty. He whispered, "Xiao Wan, I'm worried that if we don't get married quickly, you'll make a mistake."
Xie Wan raised her eyebrows and asked, "Why did I make the mistake?"
Qin Muye raised his eyes and said with affection, "Because I found that every time you see me, you want to act like a hooligan..."
