"That won't do," said Mrs. Cao. "If the children are hungry, give them something to eat. It's almost time for dinner."
"Why not? My children will come over to eat in the evening anyway, so what's wrong with eating first?" Mrs. Wei said loudly.
Lin Shu: “…”
"Han, Captain Han, you're back." Mrs. Wei's voice suddenly became a little unnatural.
"Well, everyone, be careful, put it here, right."
Lin Shu heard Han Yan's voice in the room.
She stuck her head out and saw Han Yan and Instructor Gao carrying a table in.
There were a few people behind him whom she had never seen or recognized, and they were also carrying tables and stools.
Han Yan nodded at her.
Lin smiled back at him and turned around to continue cooking.
Mrs. Wei's voice did not continue to be heard. She probably did not dare to mention her previous request in front of everyone.
"Are you tired?" Han Yan walked into the kitchen and asked worriedly.
Lin Shu glanced outside the door and said softly, "I'm not tired. Go out and entertain them."
"Where is our battalion commander?" someone asked loudly at this time.
"Aren't you going to see your wife?" It was Instructor Gao's voice, his tone full of smiles.
Lin Shu quickly mouthed to him, "Get out now."
Han Yan then went out reluctantly.
After a while, Lin Shu heard loud conversations and laughter outside, mixed with the noise of children.
She then knew that the people who were invited to the greenhouse banquet had arrived.
Lin Shu's rhythm was not disrupted and he continued to cook according to the routine.
She lifted the lid of the casserole on the coal stove next to her and saw that the braised pork inside was cooked, so she wanted to take it out.
"Be careful, it's hot. I'll do it." Han Yan, who came in out of nowhere, said.
Lin Shu nodded and let him take it out: "You guys eat first and I'll stir-fry some vegetables."
Han Yan hummed.
Soon, Lin Shu heard Han Yan's voice calling them: "Everyone, please start eating. Don't be polite."
"Wow, it's delicious. You are so lucky, Battalion Commander."
"What is this? I haven't eaten it yet. It's delicious."
“…”
After a while, she heard their praises again.
Lin Shu smiled slightly and poured the vegetables into the hot oil pan, making a hissing sound.
"Where is my sister-in-law? Let her out quickly." The vocational school instructor shouted.
"There is another vegetable dish that will be ready soon. You can eat it first." Han Yan replied.
It doesn’t take long to stir-fry the vegetables. Lin Shu divided the stir-fried vegetables into two plates and served them out.
There were two tables of people sitting in the hall, one table for men and the other table for women with children.
"Come on, sister-in-law, please sit down." Everyone turned their eyes to her.
Lin Shu saw an empty seat next to Han Yan.
Lin Shu put the dishes on the table, smiled and said, "I'll sit at the table over there, you guys can do whatever you want." As she said that, she moved the stool next to Han Yan to another table.
She didn't want to sit with a table of grown men, it would be uncomfortable.
"Why is my sister-in-law sitting over there?"
"Yes, yes, come sit back down." The people at that table started to make a noise.
Han Yan seemed to understand what she meant and quickly changed the subject: "Come on, let's have a drink."
Everyone's attention was quickly diverted.
Lin Shu breathed a sigh of relief.
Suddenly, a boy of eight or nine at the table shouted, "Mom, I want to eat chicken legs, not chicken wings."
"Then the younger brother will eat the chicken wings, and the older brother will eat the chicken legs." Mrs. Wei said as she was about to take the chicken legs from the bowl of the little boy sitting next to her.
The little boy immediately covered his bowl with his hands, pouted and said, "I don't want to eat chicken wings, I want to eat chicken legs too."
Lin Shu then knew that the two boys were Mrs. Wei's sons.
Mrs. Wei looked at the people around her, and finally said to Mrs. Zhou's eldest daughter Xiaocao: "Sister, brother wants to eat chicken legs. Brother will change it for you, okay?"
Xiao Cao glanced at Mrs. Zhou and said loudly, "I don't want to change."
Lin Shu felt a headache. She hadn't expected this.
She looked at the boy and coaxed him: "Brother, you can eat chicken wings this time. I will make chicken legs for you next time, okay?"
"No, no, I want to eat now." He yelled, "Hurry up and give me her chicken leg. Girls can't eat chicken legs. Mom said only boys can eat chicken legs."
Lin Shu frowned slightly.
"What nonsense are you talking about, Fubao." At this time, a man sitting at Han Yan's table yelled at the boy.
Fubao shrank his neck and shouted again, "I'm not talking nonsense. It was my mother who said that."
Mrs. Wei smiled awkwardly: "I——"
The man stood up and glared at Fubao, saying, "If you keep saying that, you won't get to eat. Get out."
Fubao burst into tears.
Mrs. Wei immediately stood up, looking anxious: "Old Wei, what are you doing?"
She ran over and hugged Fubao: "Oh, my little ancestor."
"Old Wei, please sit down quickly." Han Yan said.
Fubao hugged Mrs. Wei and cried.
Lin Shu looked at the messy scene and was thinking about going into the room to get something to coax Fubao.
"Brother, don't cry. I'll give you my chicken leg." At this time, Xiaocao looked around, stood up and ran to Fubao, handed the bowl to him and said.
"Okay, okay." Mrs. Wei immediately brought it over and coaxed Fubao: "Fubao, Fubao, don't cry, look, it's a chicken leg."
Fubao turned his head from Mrs. Wei's arms and looked over, and his crying slowly stopped.
Lao Wei looked at Fubao with a red face, stood up and wanted to speak.
Instructor Gao and another person named Lao Zheng who were sitting next to him immediately grabbed him.
