After Zhang Tong left, Zhou Shi happily jumped onto Xie Lin's back, startling him.
The soft touch made his whole body stiffen.
It wasn't the first time he'd carried her on his back, but this girl stuck her head right next to his face and kept grinning at him like an idiot.
The sweltering heat hit his face, stirring a ripple in his heart.
"What?" The voice trembled slightly.
"Hehe, Egg said that Stinky Egg is Corpse's egg, and it helps Corpse pick up its brains. If Corpse sleeps with Stinky Egg, it will get meat to eat."
Xie Lin, whose entire face turned bright red:............
What did your aunt teach you? Does this brat even know that this meat is not the same as that meat?
If Zhang Tong knew that his words had been taken out of context by that brat, he would definitely be devastated.
Her exact words were:
"Shishi, you and Choudan are husband and wife, and Choudan is your egg. You have to protect your own egg."
"You have to be good when you sleep with Chou Dan at night, and you can't run out to play in the middle of the night."
"Don't cry if your beautiful brain disappears in the morning, stinky egg will help you get it back."
"Shishi has to be good so she'll keep getting meat to eat."
This guy only listens to what he wants to hear.
However, it was precisely because of her words that Xie Lin's dream of sleeping in separate rooms could never be realized.
When Xie Lin took Zhou Shi to the cafeteria, Lu Fan and his brothers were already waiting.
Including Zhang Dong and a few others who were tidying up the yard, as well as Fang Ran, there were a total of 11 people.
Adding the couple, along with Xiao Dan and his wife, Li Pengfei and his wife, and Chief of Staff Ding Youliang and his wife who arrived shortly after, they filled two round tables.
"Greetings, leaders."
Lu Fan led his men in saluting the three leaders.
Xiao Dan waved his hand in a gesture of respect.
"Battalion Commander Xie is treating us today, we're just here to freeload."
"Commander Xie and Comrade Zhou Shi are happily married. Let's all wish them well and sit down."
The seven members of the special operations team, excluding Xie Lin, all shouted to Zhou Shi, "Hello, sister-in-law!"
However, Zhou Shi was already drawn in by the aroma on the table and was the first to sit down on the stool.
She kept glancing expectantly at Xie Lin, waiting for him to serve her the food.
Her mouth was stretched so wide it seemed to reach outer space; she completely ignored the greetings from Lu Fan and the other six.
For her, besides a beautiful brain, eating is always the top priority.
Her obedient appearance stunned Liu Mei, who was unaware of the situation.
She nudged Zhang Tong's wrist with her elbow.
"Sister Zhang, this girl is quite well-behaved, completely different from what you described."
Zhang Tong smiled meaningfully, "She's quite well-behaved. You can figure it out slowly."
Commissar Li's house is to the right of Xie Linxin's house, in the third courtyard of the same row.
The reason she revealed Zhou Shi's situation to Liu Mei was because she was worried that she would have someone to lend a hand when she was busy.
Liu Mei was clearly deceived by the little girl's obedient facade.
Take it slow, she'll have her chance to vent.
The chief of staff's wife, Yao Lixiang, was standing nearby. Hearing the conversation between the two, she raised an eyebrow and looked with interest at the little girl whose eyes were clearly gleaming with greed.
She went back to her parents' home in the city a few days ago, and wasn't in the family compound yesterday.
When she got home, her husband told her that Xie Lin had brought his wife back.
There was a huge commotion at Xie Linxin's house yesterday.
Although the little girl's mind is different from others, she seems special, and perhaps the family compound will become much more lively in the future.
Li Pengfei and Ding Youliang were unaware of Zhou Shi's heroic act; they only knew that she had intellectual disabilities and was like a child.
I thought the same thing as Liu Mei: that this child was quite well-behaved.
Xiao Dan took his seat first and presented the couple with a prepared red envelope as a congratulatory gift.
The others followed suit, taking their seats and handing out red envelopes.
Xiao Dan looked at the corpse who seemed unconcerned about his own affairs, and couldn't help but smirk.
"Commander Xie, hurry up and serve Shishi her food."
The children are getting impatient.
That's the little ancestor; we have to go along with him.
While others receive red envelopes at their weddings, she only wants to eat.
When he came in just now, he noticed that the girl's eyes were practically glowing with greed as she looked at the food serving window.
I don't know if it was because I was hungry or because I thought it was fun.
Please, please don't let it be the latter.
The meal was very plentiful.
There are braised pork belly, pan-fried ribbonfish, boiled prawns, stir-fried shrimp with wood ear mushrooms, and eggplant with fish-fragrant sauce.
Other dishes include stir-fried shredded potatoes with vinegar, stir-fried eggs with chives, stewed cabbage and tofu, stir-fried bok choy, and seaweed and egg drop soup.
Lu Fan asked the kitchen to prepare ten dishes, symbolizing perfection.
The kid is really well-behaved when it's time to eat.
After all, someone is there to serve the food, remove fish bones, and peel shrimp.
Xiao Linzi displayed the professional skill of serving the Empress Dowager, making a certain ancestor completely obedient.
Apart from Xiao Dan and his wife, and Lu Fan and his group whom they had already met, everyone else ate the meal in a state of semi-shock.
I've learned something new.
Imagine, a soldier who is cold and indifferent to everyone, actually speaking softly and gently to coax a child.
It was probably the child's first time eating shrimp. Besides peeling the shells, he was also responsible for eating the heads and tails.
The tender shrimp meat all ended up in the child's mouth.
Good heavens, is this really the king of soldiers in their camp?
Could it be that the core has been replaced?
"Stinky egg, horns are delicious, Corpse must catch lots of horns."
Little Shishi was extremely satisfied.
Human food is so delicious.
A bite of cornbread, a bite of rice, a bite of braised pork, another bite of rice—it's so delicious!
Xie Lin used a communal spoon to scoop two spoonfuls of tofu into her small bowl.
"Okay, I'll catch some for you tomorrow. Sweetie, this is tofu, eat it quickly."
The little girl obediently scooped up some tofu, took a big bite, and shook her head, making satisfied "mmm" sounds.
Quietly!
Apart from moving their eyes, many people became like wooden figures.
