Chapter 59: Tenderness and Thoughtfulness
The grown men in the living room could hardly sit still.
"Shen He, what did your wife cook? Why does it smell so good?"
Cao Zhifang sniffed the fragrance in the air. How could he think about training? He just wanted to eat right away and taste what that fragrant thing was.
The other three people were also very excited.
But how could Shen He know what his wife had done? Since their marriage, he had only eaten a few meals cooked by her.
"You'll know soon." Shen He pretended to keep it a secret.
She successfully aroused the envy and hatred of several men.
How did he marry a beautiful, gentle, and good cook?
This is the partner every man dreams of!
But this envy faded away when they thought of Shen He's extraordinary abilities.
It's not that they are belittling themselves, but Shen He is just too amazing!
Even Cao Zhifang, the head of the group, had to admit defeat.
Not only was he physically strong, his combat capability was top-notch as well. He himself could not compare to him at all. Being his superior, he felt a little frustrated.
The aroma in the kitchen became stronger and stronger, and the men became increasingly distracted in their conversation.
In the end, they just stopped chatting and went out to help move the tables and chairs.
See if we can eat quickly.
Fortunately, there is strength in numbers. Some people helped to prepare the ingredients, some helped to light the fire, and Su Ranran cooked very quickly.
Soon, a table full of dishes was served.
There was another small table next to it, with a lot of dishes on it as well. This table was for the children.
The children never thought that they would be able to sit at the table properly, and they were all very excited.
In the past, when they went to other people’s houses for banquets, these children could only eat while standing, and occasionally the adults would give them a piece of food with their chopsticks.
It's nothing like today, where not only can we sit at a table, but we can also eat so much meat.
The kids already had a good impression of this pretty sister, and now they like her even more.
People with sweet mouths are called pretty sisters.
As a result, they were each given a beating by their own mothers.
"It's impolite to call her auntie." Zhong Juhua glared at her annoying son.
Hu Zi covered his head with his hands, feeling a little aggrieved. "My sister is so beautiful, how can I call her aunt?"
Everyone present was extremely amused.
"You silly boy, she is your uncle Shen's daughter-in-law, what else can you call her if not auntie?"
Her son was so miserable that Zhong Juhua couldn't bear to watch it.
"The child is still young, he will understand in the future." Su Ranran comforted him, and then said to the children at the table: "There will be sweet jelly powder after dinner."
When they heard there was cool powder, the kids cheered so hard that the yard almost burst into tears!
Su Ranran once again won the love of all the children present.
The men were seated.
Looking at the table full of delicious dishes, they almost drooled.
At this moment, Yan Yixing also walked in with his wife.
"Shen He, sister-in-law, I'm sorry we are late."
Yan Yixing spoke to the two people with an apologetic look on his face. It was unclear whether he was apologizing for being late or for something else.
When others saw Yan Yixing, they were all smiling.
But this smile faded a little when he saw Liu Hong behind him.
Shen He frowned slightly, paused, and then asked the person to come in.
But the voice was a little colder than before.
The smile on Su Ranran's face was so warm that one couldn't tell that she had just exchanged a few words with Liu Hong a few days ago.
"Political Commissar Yan, sister-in-law, please come in."
Yan Yixing didn't know that his wife had gone to see Su Ranran, and he was confused. When he saw Su Ranran's enthusiastic smile, he was relieved but also dazzled.
The rumors turned out to be true; Shen He's wife was so beautiful.
Liu Hong had been paying attention to her man all the time, and when she saw that he was distracted by Su Ranran, her face suddenly turned dark.
But before leaving, she made repeated promises to Yan Yixing before she was allowed to come to Shen He's house. Even if she was unhappy at this time, she couldn't show it.
How could Cao Zhifang, a rough guy, see through their little entanglements?
At this time, he was very happy to see his partner coming.
"Lao Yan, you're not very kind to come at such a late hour. Come on, come on, sit down. We're all in for a treat today."
Hearing this, Yan Yixing led Liu Hong over.
The customs in Pingzhou Town are relatively conservative and backward, and women are not allowed to sit at the table at banquets in the village.
But in the army, the slogan that women hold up half the sky is followed, and there is no such thing as women not sitting at the table.
On Su Ranran's left is Shen He, on her right is Zhong Juhua, and standing opposite her is Liu Hong who arrived late.
From the time she appeared until now, no one has paid any attention to her.
Even Lin Qiulian, who was sitting next to her, just gave her a lukewarm greeting.
Liu Hong was awkwardly isolated like this.
But seeing that everyone else was already seated, she had no choice but to find an empty stool to sit down. However, as soon as she sat down, she saw the pig intestines placed in the middle of the table.
I didn't expect that Su Ranran's invitation would be so shabby. A hint of sneer flashed in Liu Hong's eyes.
But before she could open her mouth to complain, she saw that the others seemed to be unable to wait any longer and stretched out their chopsticks towards the pot of pig intestines in the middle.
Liu Hong widened her eyes in disbelief!
Don't they think this is dirty? How can they eat it?
Today's pork intestines are halved directly, and a piece of pig ear that I bought is also halved.
At this time, everything has been cut, and the large bowl is placed on the adult table, and the small bowl is placed on the children's table.
As Cao Zhifang took a bite of the tender and juicy pig intestine, his eyes widened!
"This is so delicious! No wonder you like it, Shen He, and you know how to eat it!"
It's not like they haven't eaten this stuff before. No matter how you wash it, it always has a fishy smell.
But this pig intestine not only has no taste, it is also very fragrant. The fresh and fragrant taste explodes in the mouth, it is simply amazing.
Shen He: ...
It was his first time eating it too.
"If it's delicious, everyone can eat more. Don't be polite."
Shen He was greeting the guests, but Su Ranran, who was sitting next to him, noticed that he didn't seem very happy.
After a moment of silence, she quietly reached out and pulled at the hem of his clothes using the cover of the table.
Shen He turned his head and met his wife's apologetic gaze.
"I'll make you something different next time."
Su Ranran's voice was very soft, but Shen He still heard it.
Shen He couldn't help but laugh when he heard her coaxing tone like a child, but her gentleness and thoughtfulness still made him feel very happy.
"good."
Shen He nodded, and the sour feeling in his heart was easily soothed.
Everyone else was busy grabbing the pig intestines and didn't notice the couple's private actions at all.
But Liu Hong, who was sitting opposite Su Ranran, saw it.
I didn't expect Shen He and his wife to be like this in private, not at all like the aloof person they appear in public.
Even though they were so far apart, she could feel his gentle care for Su Ranran.
Thinking of the warning her man gave her before she left, Liu Hong felt extremely upset.
Looking at the table full of food, she didn't even have the desire to move her chopsticks.
"What do you want to eat? I'll get it for you."
Seeing that she didn't eat a single bite, Yan Yixing said something concerned, secretly praying in his heart that this girl wouldn't cause him any trouble.
What is terrible is bound to happen.
"This table is filled with pig intestines and bones. Who can eat it?"
