Chapter 225 But I Recognize You
"Okay, it's quite late. You haven't eaten yet, right? Why don't you just have something to eat at home tonight?" Lin Yunxi said with a smile.
This was exactly what Song Zheng was waiting for. To be honest, the dishes that Yunxi brought back from her business trip to Beijing last time were really to his liking.
The most important thing is that eating the food she cooks, whether it is meat or vegetarian, will not make you feel uncomfortable.
On the contrary, after eating it, I felt warm all over, and the pain in my joints caused by injuries when I was young was gone. I slept well that night.
Didn’t he say he was coming to Yunxi’s house for dinner? The nanny who had worked there for more than ten years didn’t object.
He also told him to eat whatever he wanted, saying that when he got home, he didn't have as good a cooking skill as Comrade Lin.
"Okay! Sorry to bother you, old man." General Song said happily.
"Don't bother me, just sit down for a moment, we'll be eating soon."
Then, Lin Yunxi brought the old general to the main seat and sat down. Gu's mother and Lin's mother were shocked to see their daughter's respectful attitude.
Knowing that this old man must be a high-ranking official, the two of them stood at the dining table somewhat stiffly.
Seeing this, Lin Yunxi pulled the two mothers to sit down and introduced them.
"Mr. Song, this is my mother and mother-in-law. They just came from their hometown not long ago."
"Mom, this is General Song Zhengsong, just like an elder in the family, there's no need to be so reserved."
When Gu's mother and Lin's mother heard that the man in front of them was the famous General Song Zheng, they were so scared that they almost fell off their stools.
The two had only heard the name of General Song on the radio. They were just ordinary people. How could they have the honor to sit at the same table and eat with the founding fathers!
Song Zheng had seen this kind of situation many times, and he smiled and comforted him.
"Don't be nervous, ladies. Let's just treat it as if we were having dinner at home. I'm not a general, I'm just an ordinary person."
"good."
When Lin Yunxi brought the last dish of fish head and tofu soup to the table, Gu Zheng just came back.
As soon as he entered the courtyard, he recognized the person sitting in the main seat at a glance.
Gu Zheng immediately stood up straight, straightened his military uniform and hat, and gave a standard military salute.
The voice was loud and clear: "Hello, Chief. I am Gu Zheng, the commander of the First Brigade of the Second Division of the First Military Region of Province Z."
Yes, Gu Zheng was promoted to brigade commander a few days ago, and today's meal was a promotion banquet specially prepared for him.
To this end, the three women in the family brought out their specialties, showed off their skills, and cooked more than a dozen dishes.
There are stir-fried yellow beef, salt-baked chicken, dry-fried cumin lamb chops, braised prawns in tomato sauce, salt and pepper spareribs, braised pork, and four-happiness meatballs;
Nine-turn large intestine, braised pork with pickled mustard greens, cold-mixed beef tripe and tribute vegetables, steamed grouper, three-fresh stew, fish head tofu soup and several vegetarian dishes.
The meal we made today can be called a top-notch promotion banquet, not to mention the children are drooling with envy.
Even adults can't stand it, the fragrance is like an allure that goes straight into people's nostrils.
General Song had heard of Gu Zheng from the First Military Region of Province Z when he was in Beijing, but today was the first time he saw him in person.
"Good boy, although this is the first time we met today, I recognize you."
"You two are both capable. Work hard. The future of our country depends on young people like you."
Hearing this, Gu Zheng was a little flattered. General Song Zheng was his idol and the goal he had been striving for all his life.
The fact that Mr. Song remembered his name truly proved that Gu Zheng was extraordinary.
"Yes! I will follow your instructions."
Seeing that Gu Zheng was still standing straight, Old Song smiled and said, "Well, tonight is a family dinner, there aren't so many rules, let's all relax a bit."
"Yes!" Gu Zheng then went to wash up and sat down.
Little Yanyan sat in Grandpa Song's arms, tilting his little head, somewhat confused as to why his grandfather was so kind and amiable.
Why were dad and grandma so nervous? Even my older brothers and sisters were so well-behaved that they didn't even dare to say a word.
Lin Yunxi could understand this. It was like a big shot who only appeared on TV and was out of reach.
Suddenly one day, he appeared in front of him. It was impossible not to be nervous, especially since General Song was Gu Zheng's idol.
However, Lin Yunxi had a good attitude. In her heart, she regarded the old general as an elder whom she respected very much, so she was the most relaxed person present except Yanyan.
Just as Mr. Song said, there was no general on the dinner table today, it was just an ordinary family dinner.
At the same time, he restrained his dignity and chatted about family matters and his experiences at the dinner table, which eased the atmosphere a lot.
Song Zheng's three meals a day were previously strictly controlled. Even if he ate meat, he only ate lean meat and was not allowed to eat any fat.
Looking at the sumptuous meal on the table, he was dazzled and didn't know which one to eat first.
After the chopsticks spun in the air for a circle, Song Zheng picked up a large piece of braised pork with pickled mustard greens and put it into the lotus leaf pancake.
Then he filled his mouth with food and started chewing it with great enjoyment.
