Chapter 38 You Didn’t Ask

Yu Xiangwan had no idea what had suddenly gone wrong with Lu Yingzheng.

She certainly couldn't beat him.

I can only let him go temporarily.

[When I get the chance, I will definitely knock back! ]

Lu Yingzheng was walking on the road and when he heard this, he suddenly felt good.

The commander of the first battalion was also named Lu, Lu Yan.

Seeing Lu Yingzheng smile, he came over and joked: "Brother, you are in high spirits when something good happens. It's different now that your wife is here."

Lu Yingzheng joked back, "You too, I heard the baby is about to be born."

Lu Yan had a pained and happy expression: "I am happy, but my mother, ah, she doesn't want to come, then I can only trouble my sisters-in-law to help more."

Lu Yingzheng patted him on the shoulder and said, "It's okay. The sisters-in-law are understanding. We will repay them."

They were both relatively young in the camp and usually received a lot of help from their sister-in-law.

Lu Yan nodded, smiling again: "I'm telling you, I'm going to give two at a time this time, you better work harder."

Lu Yingzheng snorted and walked away: "Childish."

…

Yu Xiangwan handed over the painting supplies.

Zheng Yu took out some mushrooms and said, "You guys treat me to dinner today. I'll go over to help you this afternoon."

Yu Xiangwan waved her hand: "No, if possible, I wonder if Xiao Xiao can stay here to paint with you, you just help me look after her."

Zheng Yu didn't refuse and said, "I'm not good at cooking, so I won't be polite with you. Xiao Xiao stays with me."

"You're welcome," Yu Xiangwan said with a smile, "I'm not being polite to you, sister-in-law."

Zheng Yu hesitated for a moment, but still said, "My name is Zheng Yu, just call me by my name, I'm not much older than you."

"Okay, Zheng Yu," Yu Xiangwan immediately changed her words, "My name is Yu Xiangwan, you can call me Xiao Yu, or Wanwan."

It was their first exchange and the two of them had a pleasant experience.

Zheng Yu began to teach Xiao Xiao, and Yu Xiangwan went back to prepare dinner.

We need to invite two large tables of people tonight.

Yu Xiangwan had just tied her apron when Sister Yang came in with several other sisters-in-law, and each of them brought something.

"Come on, Wanwan, let's help."

Yu Xiangwan was delighted and said, "My dear sisters-in-law, this is a timely rain! You can't leave tonight. They have two tables, and we can set up one too."

"We've already said it in advance. I'll get angry if anyone leaves."

Yu Xiangwan doesn't like to make excuses for others, but if she has to ask for favors, she can handle it.

"Especially the five wins, all of them come."

Mrs. Yang also refused: "They are too noisy, I——"

"Sister-in-law, have you forgotten what I just said?" Yu Xiangwan pretended to be angry, with his hands on his hips and pouting.

The sisters-in-law giggled.

"Sister Yang, you've finally found someone who dares to challenge you!"

"I think you guys are just looking for fun. Xiao Yu and I are good friends."

Everyone started joking and became closer.

Mrs. Yang teased: "I see Xiao Lu calls you Wanwan."

"He's not the only one who calls me that. My family and the whole village call me that."

Yu Xiangwan has now trained himself out.

When faced with jokes, I can’t say that I am able to handle them with ease, but at least I am no longer as shameless as before.

Speaking of the village, the sisters-in-law asked about the situation in the village.

Yu Xiangwan successfully diverted the attention of her sisters-in-law.

Since there was limited space in his own stove, Yu Xiangwan also borrowed a stove and pots, pans, and utensils from Mrs. Yang's house.

This is how entertaining guests is done these days, with a mix of this and that.

However, Yu Xiangwan brings his own seasonings and will not take advantage of others.

"Wanwan, the food you cook is so delicious."

"That's right, the smell makes me hungry."

Yu Xiangwan said as she cooked, "Then everyone should eat more later!"

At sunset, the air above the courtyard was filled with the rich aroma of food.

The five Yang family members stopped fighting and just sat quietly on the steps, waiting anxiously.

"Why haven't Uncle Lu and the others come back yet?"

"Huh, Dad said we were dawdling, but I think they were the ones dawdling."

These children are Yu Xiangwan's sentinels.

"Children, are they back?"

Speak of Cao Cao and he will appear.

Yisheng was about to say "No", but the sharp-eyed Wusheng jumped up and said, "Auntie, they're back!"

Lu Yingzheng and his group did not return empty-handed. Lu Yingzheng carried two boilers, and the people behind him carried honeycomb coal.

When Yu Xiangwan saw this scene, she really wanted to give Lu Yingzheng a thumbs up.

[Lu Yingzheng really doesn't like to suffer losses when he treats others to meals and asks them to work. ]

【It suits my taste very well! 】

Lu Yingzheng really wanted to say: These are all basic operations.

That's how it is between them. They use it when they need it and don't wait any longer.

Today, because he treated us to dinner, we can all bring him some more beehive coal.

Lu Yingzheng ordered his men to put the things away.

Yu Xiangwan and her sisters-in-law put the food on the table. ???

There is actually a different kind of tacit understanding.

"Oh my! This meal is too rich!"

“It smells so good!”

The sisters-in-law were full of praise for Yu Xiangwan's cooking skills.

"Of course not! Wanwan's cooking skills are amazing!"

"We also had the rice noodles made by Wanwan for lunch! It tasted great!"

Yu Xiangwan said loudly: "Everyone, eat as much as you can! If you don't have enough, there's more in the pot."

She made eye contact with Lu Yingzheng, who nodded and went to entertain his comrades.

Yu Xiangwan went to entertain her sisters-in-law and children.

Zheng Yu and Xiao Xiao came over before dinner. When she appeared, the sisters-in-law were silent for a moment.

Seeing this, Yu Xiangwan arranged the seats so that Zheng Yu could sit next to himself and Xiao Xiao could sit on the other side of Zheng Yu.

Obviously, the sisters-in-law and Zheng Yu all looked relieved.

No one talked much during the meal.

Yu Xiangwan was hungry, but the others thought the food was delicious.

In the end, the food on the table was gone.

Seeing that Yisheng and Ersheng were still not satisfied, Yu Xiangwan said, "There's hot pot in the kitchen, go and eat!"

She smiled slyly: "I won't tell the people outside."

The two boys blushed in embarrassment.

Yu Xiangwan urged them, and they looked at Mrs. Yang.

Mrs. Yang said helplessly: "Thank you, auntie."

"You're not thanking me," Yu Xiangwan said with a smile, waving his hands, and sighed, "You little brat, you're eating my poor old man."

Mrs. Yang sighed and said, "No, they always say they are not full every time they eat."

【Five, of course! 】

Yu Xiangwan was still feeling uneasy.

[Fortunately, I don’t plan to have children, so I don’t have to worry about feeding them. ]

They had almost finished eating outside, so Yu Xiangwan got up to clean up and her sisters-in-law helped.

Zheng Yu also wanted to get started, but he obviously didn't know what to do.

Yu Xiangwan smiled and said, "Zheng Yu, I think the third battalion commander has gone back. Can you go back and take a look first?"

Zheng Yu pursed his lips and nodded: "Okay."

After Zheng Yu left, the sisters-in-law came over one after another to talk to Yu Xiangwan.

"It's amazing that you can get along with Xiao Zheng like this."

Yu Xiangwan was confused: "We are just getting along normally. She is not good at doing housework, so of course I can't let her do it."

"That's right. I feel like she's usually cold and doesn't talk much, so I don't feel comfortable talking to her."

"Yes, I heard that she is a college student. Talented people are more like that."

Yu Xiangwan smiled: "We are all human beings, just with different personalities."

A sister-in-law hesitated to speak: "You know..."

Just when they were talking about the crucial point, a group of men outside called the sisters-in-law to go home. Yu Xiangwan really wanted to slap her thigh and push them into the door.

Someone interrupted her at the critical moment and she didn't finish eating the whole melon!

But what could Yu Xiangwan do? She could only say goodbye with a smile and watch her sisters-in-law leave.

After everyone else left, Lu Yingzheng rolled up his sleeves and said, "I'll sweep the floor. You take a break."

Yu Xiangwan just felt that the sound of Lu Yingzheng's voice when he said this was particularly pleasant.

She had been busy all day and was really tired.

She sat on a chair, watching Lu Yingzheng sweeping the floor, and asked, "Is there anything special about Zheng Yu and the Third Battalion Commander?"

[Zheng Yu must have some melons on him, let me eat them all! ]

Saying half and keeping half is really tempting.

Lu Yingzheng savored the meaning of this "melon" carefully.

What news should be there?

He thought for a moment and said, "Sister Zheng is the third battalion commander's second wife, does that count?"

Yu Xiangwan jumped up from the chair and said, "That's right, but that's really too much!"

"Why didn't you tell me before?"

Lu Yingzheng: "You didn't ask either."

Yu Xiangwan: ...

[Good answer, the wall doesn’t obey you, but you do…]
