Yunduan's face suddenly flushed, and she said to Huo Qiusheng coquettishly:
"The child is still here, why are you saying this?"
As he said this, he glanced at the smirking little Pu'er.
Huo Qiusheng changed the subject awkwardly.
"You must be hungry, I'll cook for you."
Yunduan: "Let me do it!"
"Just help out."
Huo Qiusheng saw her rolling up her sleeves, looking like she was going to show off her skills, and smiled and winked at Xiao Pu'er.
"Looks like we're in for a treat today!"
Little Pu'er leaned on the edge of the table with his hands, his eyes like black grapes staring expectantly at the bulging bag.
"Mom, what are we going to eat today?"
"You'll know soon."
"But before I finish cooking, Mommy has something delicious to give you."
Little Pu'er slurped her saliva, and then she saw Yunduan suddenly produce a candy in her palm as if by magic. She shouted in surprise:
"Oh! It's White Rabbit Milk Candy."
Yunduan smiled and reminded, "Wash your hands before eating."
Little Pu'er ran to wash his hands with his short legs.
Huo Qiusheng picked out pork, beef, mutton, bean curd, and various vegetables from his backpack...
Then he looked up and asked Yunduan, "Which ones are for tonight's meal? I'll wash them."
“These all need to be washed.”
Huo Qiusheng was shocked. "Wash them all?"
"right!"
“Would that be too much?”
Yun Duan curled his lips and smiled, "When you eat, you will definitely not think it's too much, only too little."
Huo Qiu Sheng didn't hesitate any longer and went to wash the vegetables happily.
If it were another man, he would definitely think she was wasteful.
Yunduan felt better when he saw Huo Qiu Sheng being so generous.
She hummed a song as she first put the chicken she had washed at the market into the pot to stew it, then took out the chili peppers, Sichuan peppercorns, broad bean paste, and butter for the hot pot base...
While thinking back to the 21st century, how did my mother make hot pot base?
The first step is to soak various dry spices in hot water for half an hour. During this time, mix the chopped chili peppers, bean paste, chili oil, and dried bean mushrooms together and set aside.
Take out the soaked dry ingredients and drain the water for later use.
Heat the pan and pour in oil. When the oil starts to crackle and become hot, pour in the dry ingredients and stir-fry.
After frying, heat the oil again, sauté the ginger, onion and garlic in the pan, add the fried dry ingredients, and finally the chicken soup.
Little Pu'er looked at the pot of bright red hot pot base and drooled.
"Mom, you're so amazing! You can actually make a pot."
"I know a lot more. From now on, I will cook whatever you want to eat."
Little Pu'er danced with joy,
"Great! Now I can have delicious food every day."
Huo Qiu Sheng smiled as he watched from the side.
Yunduan said that he was unwilling to take Xiao Pu'er home, but in fact he treated Xiao Pu'er better than anyone else.
At this time, Yunduan put the thinly sliced pork, mutton and beef into the pot.
The aroma of the hot pot base and various meats instantly became rich and spread everywhere.
Huo Qiusheng couldn't help swallowing his saliva, but heard Yunduan say:
"Let little Pu'er eat first. We'll wait until big sister comes back before we eat. Don't let the child starve."
"Waiting for her for what?"
“We’ll eat it ourselves!”
There was anger in his words.
Yunduan guessed that Huo Qiu Sheng was angry that Huo Yulian saw her being bullied by Tang Chengquan and a few other grown men in a small restaurant, but not only did he not help her, he also added insult to injury.
Huo Qiu Sheng helped her in this way, so when they were eating hot pot, she picked up several more slices of mutton for Huo Qiu Sheng.
Of course, hot pot cannot be separated from drinks.
A sip of drink, a few bites of hot pot meat, eating until you are sweating all over, it is so refreshing!
The hot pot becomes more fragrant as it stews, with the temptation of meat and the various side dishes adding icing on the cake...
The rich and tempting aroma of hot pot wafts in all directions from the windows, doorways, and various cracks.
“It smells so good…”
Before Liu Tiezhu entered Huo Qiu Sheng's house, he smelled the aroma of hot pot and swallowed hard.
He knocked on the door and saw that Huo Qiu Sheng was holding a bowl of mutton hotpot. He couldn't help but suck it hard.
Huo Qiusheng curled his lips and said, "Come in and eat together!"
Liu Tiezhu waved his hands hurriedly, "I can't eat it. The commander called you over and got really angry!"
"What's wrong?"
"Someone wrote an anonymous letter reporting my sister-in-law for cheating on a military marriage!"
Huo Qiusheng's face darkened. "Wait a moment."
Liu Tiezhu nodded.
Huo Qiusheng went back to put the bowl away and said to Yunduan as if nothing had happened:
"Something happened in the army, I have to go there. If I come back late, you and Xiao Pu'er can go to sleep first, you don't have to wait for me."
Yun Duan frowned: "You're leaving before you even finish your meal? Are you in such a hurry?"
Huo Qiu Sheng smiled and nodded, then left with Liu Tiezhu.
At this time, Zhao Chunhua, along with two other military wives, Jia Lanlan and Xu Qin, were drying their quilts in the open space, gossiping:
"Everyone's saying Yunduan has been arrested by the police and is going to jail!"
Zhao Chunhua was delighted!
Her husband Xie Ping'an used to send her back to the countryside every day because she offended Yunduan. Now look what happened!
Yunduan is going to jail!!
She finally got rid of her anger!
Xu Qin: "No way, I think Yunduan is a nice person, why is he in jail? Is there some misunderstanding here?"
Zhao Chunhua: "Can a bad person write himself a bad person on his face?"
"I told you guys before that Yunduan was no good, but you didn't believe me. Now the police have arrested her and put her in jail. Don't you still trust the police?"
Liu Anqi, who had just returned from Liu Tiezhu's car, heard the explosive news as soon as she entered the family compound. She hurried over.
"What did you just say, Yunduan is in jail?"
Zhao Chunhua saw that it was her and raised an eyebrow, "Didn't you leave with Yunduan?"
"Why are you still asking us?"
Liu Anqi: "I separated from her halfway! What happened?"
"What else could it be?"
"If you seduce a man and cheat him out of his money, and get caught, you'll be sent to the police station and go to jail!"
"Oh!"
Liu Anqi sneered, pointed at Zhao Chunhua's nose and cursed.
"Look at you! You're such a stubborn person! Captain Huo asked you to write an apology letter and put it on the bulletin board, which was not enough!"
"Still talking nonsense here!"
Zhao Chunhua's blood pressure dropped due to panic, and then she heard Liu Anqi say:
Liu Anqi rolled her eyes.
"The police told me directly,"
"Yunduan helped the police to apprehend the fraud gang and brought them to justice. He is a hero who bravely stood up for justice!"
"Not only will you be awarded a 2,000 yuan bonus, but you'll also be recognized in the newspaper as a key achievement!"
After Liu Anqi finished shopping, she ran to the place she had agreed with Yunduan and waited to meet her.
Unexpectedly, Yunduan didn’t show up, but the police arrived first.
The police officer was just helping Yunduan pass on the message, asking her to go back first.
After hearing this, Zhao Chunhua's blood pressure dropped sharply and she almost fell down.
