Chapter 182 Gift
Zhou Huihui's skin has become as smooth as a peeled egg after being repaired by the skin care products personally formulated by Lin Yunxi.
As the saying goes, a white complexion can hide a hundred flaws, and since she is very white and has pretty facial features, she looks very delicate.
Except for Jiang Tao, everyone sitting at the main table was an experienced person. Seeing the performance of these two young people, everyone knew that they were probably interested in each other.
Jiang Tao, in particular, has not yet truly discovered his inner feelings.
Seeing that the atmosphere at the dinner table was a little subtle, Zhang Hongmei quickly interrupted.
"Let the young people solve their own problems. Let's have a drink to celebrate Yunxi's safe return."
"cheers!"
Everyone clinked their glasses, the men drank white wine, the women drank fruit wine, and even the kids like Yanyan raised their orange juices.
The green plum wine is really good, with a strong plum aroma. The wine is smooth and easy to swallow, with a good balance of sour and sweet, and a long aftertaste.
Lin Yunxi hadn't even had a few drinks when the bottle was empty.
Only after they were half full did everyone slow down.
"Good wine and delicious food, this is the greatest pleasure in life!" Zhou Guoan said as he took a sip of the white wine cherishingly.
Jiang Tao has been busy training special forces recently. He is busy for ten days or half a month and hides in the mountains and forests every day.
He swallowed the food in his mouth, wiped his mouth with satisfaction, and sighed.
"My sister-in-law's cooking skills are amazing. I feel like I will never get tired of eating this for the rest of my life."
However, these words instantly caught Zhou Huihui's attention, and she immediately thought about the possibility of learning to cook from her sister-in-law in the future.
She wanted to try again, no matter what the final result would be.
"That's right, especially this bowl of spicy chicken, which really proves the saying that you can find chicken in the spicy food. It's fresh, spicy, crispy and delicious. You can't stop eating it one bite after another."
Zhang Hongmei said that she is now learning cooking from Yunxi and knows it is difficult to reach her level.
Sun Xiuying: "I like this steamed pork with rice flour. It is soft, glutinous, fresh and fragrant. It melts in your mouth and tastes really good."
"Yunxi, do you have any plans to open a restaurant? Your business will definitely be prosperous." Zhou Yan also said.
Eating the food cooked by Lin Yunxi is indeed addictive, but not as violently addictive as Dayan's.
It is a long-lasting addiction that makes you salivate instantly every time you think of it.
"Go, my wife has to take care of the kids and deal with the pharmaceutical factory, how can she have the time?"
Hearing this, Gu Zheng was unhappy. Running a pharmaceutical factory was already enough to keep his wife busy, and if he opened a restaurant, she would be so busy that she wouldn't even be able to see him.
Lin Yunxi meant the same thing. Opening a restaurant can wait until after the reform and opening up, as the current economic situation is not very suitable.
The meal lasted for more than two hours with clinking glasses and toasting each other.
Finally, everyone enjoyed the meal and drinks. The men talked about work, the women talked about family matters, and the children played nearby.
This scene is not a paradise on earth, but it is better than a paradise on earth.
Today's meal is not only conducive to the relationship between several families, but also to consolidate the alliance between the three men at work.
Jiang Tao has always followed Gu Zheng's footsteps, and he has made great contributions in the task of training special forces.
So if nothing unexpected happens, after Gu Zheng is promoted to brigade commander, the position of deputy regiment commander will definitely belong to him.
Although the relationship between Zhao Peng and Gu Zheng is not as close as that between Jiang Tao and Gu Zheng, they have become friends after some time of working together.
He found that their ideas were very similar. Although he couldn't eat big mouthfuls of meat like Gu Zheng, he had many opportunities to drink soup in small sips.
Zhao Peng was already very satisfied, and he chose to join Gu Tuan's camp with firm steps.
At the same time, he was especially grateful to his wife for getting along so well with the Gu family.
There are only benefits and no harm in the two families being on good terms, not to mention that both Gu Zheng and Lin Yunxi are extremely sincere people.
When you associate with such people, you never have to worry about being stabbed in the back.
After eating and drinking, no one rushed home. Instead, they sat in the yard, enjoying the breeze and drinking hot tea, feeling very comfortable.
Lin Yunxi took the opportunity to take out the gifts he brought back from Beijing and distributed them to everyone one by one.
"This is a watch I bought for Uncle Zhou, a gold bracelet I bought for Aunt Zhou, and two sets of clothes I bought for you two."
Zhou Guoan and Sun Xiuying carefully took the gifts and couldn't wait to put the watches/bracelets on their hands and try them out.
"Oh, we are all old, how can we use such good watches and jewelry." Although Sun Xiuying said this, her eyes were always staring at the bracelet curiously.
In her life, she had no other jewelry except a pair of silver earrings given by her grandmother when she got married.
After marriage, several children were born one after another. At that time, my husband's salary was not that high.
The children at home need money for food, clothing and schooling, so she would like to split every penny into two to spend. How could she have any spare money to dress herself up?
When the children grew up, the old woman's salary increased a lot, but her lifelong habit of frugality made her reluctant to spend money lavishly.
But the gold bracelet with auspicious cloud patterns on her hand was so much in line with Sun Xiuying's aesthetic that she was reluctant to take it off. After all, there is no woman who doesn't like jewelry.
This gold bracelet and watch would probably cost quite a bit of money, so Sun Xiuying turned around and walked towards the inner room.
"You are so thoughtful, Yunxi. Your uncle Zhou has long said that he wants to buy a new watch, but these things are not cheap, so I can't let you spend money on them."
Zhou Guoan thought the same thing: "Yes, Yunxi and Xiaozheng, your Aunt Zhou and I understand your intentions. There is no need to spend so much money."
"Keep your money for your own use. We really don't lack anything."
Seeing this, Lin Yunxi quickly stopped Sun Xiuying and persuaded her in a gentle voice.
"Uncle and aunt, just accept it. Gu Zheng and I have been in the military area for so long thanks to your care. This is something that cannot be replaced by any amount of money."
"We are a family. It is the duty of the younger generation to give gifts to the elders. We cannot refuse."
Before Lin Yunxi came, Gu Zheng was serving in the military region of Province Z, and was gradually promoted from an ordinary soldier to platoon leader, company commander, battalion commander and regiment commander.
During this period, Uncle Zhou and Aunt Zhou must have provided a lot of help both in work and life.
This can be seen from Gu Zheng's respectful attitude towards the two of them. He completely treats them as trusted elders and shows them filial piety.
The couple are one, not to mention the time when Lin Yunxi came to join the army.
