Lu Zhengxu was training hard, and the two children were growing up, so Chen Jiao never saved on food.
What's more, there is plenty of food in her space, so there is no need to save.
Tonight she made a dish of beef stewed with potatoes, and asked Li Junhua to cut a bunch of freshly grown leeks in the yard, fried some leeks and eggs, and made a meat soup.
The aroma of the stewed beef with potatoes and the leek and eggs was very rich, and soon the fragrance filled half the yard.
Outside, a group of military wives were still gathered together chatting, and they couldn't help swallowing when they smelled the fragrance.
"It smells so good! Who is stewing this meat?"
Yu Donghua, who had just spoken, couldn't help sniffing and asked.
Zhang Fengxia pointed her lips in the direction of Chen Jiao's house with disdain, "Who else could it be? Captain Lu's wife. What a greedy woman! I think she ate all the allowance Captain Lu got."
Jiang Siyu pointedly said, "Although Captain Lu is very capable and has received a lot of bonuses and subsidies, his position is not as high as ours, so his allowance should not be as much as ours, right?"
Jiang Siyu deliberately guided them, and the military wives present were all smart. They looked at each other and couldn't help but wonder if Lu Zhengxu's family had any other way to make money.
Otherwise, why do they have to tighten their belts to barely fill their stomachs even though their men have higher allowances, while Lu Zhengxu's family can stew meat.
But in this day and age, there are not many legal ways to make money.
Several cunning military wives were exchanging glances with each other frantically, and some were already whispering.
Yu Donghua didn't think much about it and said casually, "Captain Lu's family just came from their hometown, and they must have brought a lot of meat, grain, eggs, etc. from their hometown. Meat and eggs can't be stored for a long time, so isn't it normal for them to eat them before they go bad?"
Several military wives headed by Zhang Fengxia rolled their eyes when they heard Yu Donghua's brainless words. Among all the military wives in this compound, Yu Donghua was the only one who was so naive.
Someone who was usually on good terms with Yu Donghua whispered to remind her, "Donghua, your family is from the countryside too. Don't you know how hard life is in the countryside? Where can they get anything from the countryside to bring here?"
Yu Donghua suddenly realized, but still said heartlessly: "Hey, if you want to know where Captain Lu's family has such good conditions to stew meat every day, just go and ask and you will know. How can you guess here?"
"Hey, aren't those the twin brother and sister from Captain Lu's family?"
At this time, someone with sharp eyes happened to see Yangyang and Nannan coming out to play.
Jiang Siyu also rolled her eyes and smiled kindly like a wolf grandmother, "Yangyang, Nannan, what delicious food is your mother cooking at home? Why does it smell so good?"
Yangyang's small brows knitted slightly, almost imperceptibly.
Nannan blinked her sparkling grape eyes. Although the little girl didn't understand much, her intuition told her that this aunt's smile didn't seem like a good person.
She looked to her brother for help.
Lu Lingyang had a stern face and said like a little adult: "I didn't cook anything delicious. My mom is a good cook. She can even make delicious wild vegetable soup."
"Aunt, let's go play first."
Without waiting for Jiang Siyu to ask further questions, Lu Lingyang grabbed the little girl and ran away.
Jiang Siyu looked at the backs of the two little guys running away and curled her lips. These two little things, although not big, are quite cunning.
Zhang Fengxia snorted in disdain and said, "Oh, I don't know how Captain Lu raised his children. Such a young kid doesn't tell the truth. He can even make delicious wild vegetable soup, so he's just bragging!"
"Oh! This smells so good, so tempting!" Yu Donghua couldn't help but sniffed fiercely and swallowed her saliva, "No, I have to go home and cook the bacon at home."
After Yu Donghua finished speaking, she went straight home.
The remaining few military wives gathered together, ridiculed Yu Donghua, and then dispersed.
After Shen Jiao finished cooking, the man hadn't come back yet.
She looked at the time and estimated that Lu Zhengxu should be home soon, so she steamed the vegetables in the pot and prepared to go out to find the two little ones.
As soon as she walked into the yard, she heard someone knocking on the gate.
"Coming!" she answered while opening the gate.
I saw a tall, fair-skinned, slightly plump military wife standing outside the courtyard gate.
Yu Donghua saw Chen Jiao and smiled in a friendly manner, a little embarrassed. "Captain Lu's family, well, I smelled the delicious food you cooked, and I was really greedy, so I brought some bacon and wanted to exchange it with you. Is that okay with you?"
Although Yu Donghua was greedy, she had never been this greedy before.
The smell coming from Chen Jiao's house was really so fragrant. She had never smelled such a fragrant smell in her life, let alone eaten it.
Although Chen Jiao was a little surprised when she saw the bacon that Yu Donghua handed over, she still said readily, “Okay, sister-in-law, come in and I’ll change it for you.”
Chen Jiao brought Yu Donghua in. She had made a lot of stewed beef with potatoes today, so she took the biggest bowl in the house and served it to Yu Donghua.
As she scooped, Yu Donghua repeatedly shouted, "Enough, enough, sister, my piece of bacon is not even as big as a palm, I can't exchange it for so much..."
Chen Jiao finally scooped a full bowl and handed it to Yu Donghua, "Sister-in-law, here."
Yu Donghua saw that there was still a lot of food left in Chen Jiao's pot, so she didn't bother to be polite with Chen Jiao. She took it and said, "Sister, I took advantage of you this time. Next time I have something good at home, I'll bring it to you to make up for this time."
Yu Donghua was the first person in this compound to take the initiative to come to the door to make friends, and Chen Jiao didn't say much, and readily agreed: "Okay, sister-in-law, if you send me delicious food next time, I won't be polite."
Chen Jiao said as she saw Yu Donghua out.
I happened to meet Yangyang and Nannan running back with two little boys of similar age.
The two little boys ran without braking and almost hit Yu Donghua.
Yu Donghua raised her big hand and slapped the two little guys on their butts. "You two little bastards, why are you running around? You knocked the bowl in my hand and I'll spank you!"
Kang Kang and Le Le were spanked, but they didn't seem to be afraid at all. Instead, they sniffed and asked with sparkling eyes, "Mom, what are you serving? It smells so good!"
Chen Jiao didn't recognize the two children yet, and looked at the eldest son and the youngest daughter in confusion.
Little Nannan immediately introduced them to Chen Jiao: "Mom, Kang Kang and Le Le are my new friends today. They are twins like me and my brother!"
Lu Lingyang added calmly, "It seems like they are this aunt's sons."
As soon as Lu Lingyang finished speaking, a roar like a dragon suddenly came from behind the four little guys, "Zhou Kang, Zhou Le, you two idiots, you actually helped those two little idiots to beat me, I will beat you to death!"
