Volume 1 Chapter 387 Promotion and Dinner
Pan Yue simply followed Sheng Wanyan's example and pretended not to hear anything, and asked Grandpa Sheng and Grandma Sheng not to open the door, so as to prevent Hu Zi from catching a cold again.
Grandma Sheng naturally didn't want to open it, but since Pan Yue had spoken, she just ignored it.
After all, outsiders are nothing in front of his great-grandson. If the door is opened this time, what if Hu Zi catches a cold again?
Isn't this asking for trouble for the children?
When the visitors saw that neither family opened the door, they knew that they did not want to see guests.
He could only go back with the things cursing. If Gu Tingxiao and Sheng Wanze were not his son's leaders, he would not have come to their house.
As a result, my kindness was turned a blind eye to by them.
No matter how angry the ladies in the family compound were, the matter finally came to an end.
Sheng Wanyan and Pan Yue's home finally became quiet and they could have peace and quiet.
———
The next day, Sheng Wanyan got up early in the morning to prepare food for the dinner. Pan Yue, as well as Grandpa Sheng and Grandma Sheng all came.
He was holding two pounds of meat in his hand and asked her to put it down to nourish his body.
"Grandpa, grandma, sister-in-law, we have everything at home."
"Isn't my brother's family going to host a party in a couple of days? You can take it back."
Sheng Wanyan knew that most households would eat the food stored at home during the winter, not to mention that Sheng Wanze's family would have to entertain guests for dinner.
There is everything in my own space, and I can secretly take some things out when Gu Tingxiao is not at home.
But my brother and sister-in-law only have a few stocks, and it is not easy to go to the supply and marketing cooperative in the middle of winter.
"Here you go, just take it."
Grandma Sheng didn't allow her to refuse and gave her meat, but she was still trying to refuse.
"Little sister, take it."
Pan Yue knew that Sheng Wanyan had enough, but the meat was just a little gift from her family, so she should give it as a token of her appreciation.
Sheng Wanyan couldn't argue with them, so she could only take the meat away and bury it in the snow pile in the backyard.
"Little sister, I'll go help you cook."
Pan Yue put Hu Zi in the crib to play with Yi Yi, and followed Sheng Wanyan to the kitchen.
"You guys go ahead and we'll look after the child."
Grandpa Sheng and grandma Sheng were in charge of taking care of the two children. Yi Yi had just recovered from a cold and was not making any noise.
After a while, Aunt Xie, Captain Wang's wife Yang Wanshu, Deputy Captain Feng's wife Qiao Hehua, and Deputy Company Commander Wu's wife Niu Chunhua also came to help.
Everyone went to the kitchen to help, and brought stools and bowls and chopsticks from their homes.
After all, there were so many people, and Sheng Wanyan's house didn't have so many bowls and chopsticks.
Nowadays, people won’t feel ashamed if your home doesn’t have enough bowls and chopsticks. Meat is the most important thing.
This was the first time Niu Chunhua had dinner with everyone after she married Deputy Company Commander Wu. When she got married to Deputy Company Commander Wu, Gu Tingxiao happened to be in trouble, so her family didn't invite anyone for dinner.
Now that my man hasn’t been promoted, I’m even more afraid to ask for a treat.
After all, she is her man, and she doesn’t know how upset he must be feeling right now, but she still has to treat her leaders with a smile.
If we host a dinner party at home during this period of celebration for everyone's promotion, our home will become the subject of everyone's discussion.
Maybe everyone thinks that their family is deliberately embarrassing the other leaders.
She also felt uncomfortable. After all, she was marrying a divorced man, and there was no wedding banquet. Everyone felt that she was not valued in the Wu family.
But what could she do? Now was not the time to bring bad luck to her man.
Niu Chunhua's family is also a working-class family in the city, but this is the first time she has seen Sheng Wanyan's level of luxury.
You prepared so many meat dishes, do you really not feel sorry for the money spent on the meat? ? ?
I am envious in my heart, but I can only watch.
After all, she had been in the army for a few months and had heard a lot about Sheng Wanyan. She earned thousands of yuan a month. How could her family possibly compare to that? ? ?
"Yan'er, how do you cook this fish?"
Yang Wanshu gave her the processed fish. Sheng Wanyan had already prepared today's dishes.
"Braise it."
"Sister-in-law, please help me cut some green onions and ginger slices."
"good."
Yang Wanshu went to cut it for her. Sheng Wanyan was in charge of cooking today.
Aunt Xie was responsible for watching the fire for her, to prevent it from being too big and burning the food, especially since she was the expert at making fire.
Soon the house was filled with fragrance, and the children who were visiting the house smelled it and ran to the kitchen to see what was going on.
“It smells so good~”
"Auntie, what are you cooking?"
Yang Wanshu's youngest son An An has been carefully raised at home and is no longer as thin as he used to be.
The shy and well-behaved look of him standing beside her was so adorable.
"I'm cooking fish. An An, please eat more later."
An An nodded shyly when she heard this. If one child ran in, there would be a second one.
The whole kitchen was full of children, and the adults took them out one after another to avoid disturbing them.
"An An, go play with the kids outside, everyone here is busy."
Yang Wanshu took her youngest son's hand and took him to play with his brother Pingping.
"Go play in the living room. There are snacks and candies on the table. Eat them when you are hungry."
Sheng Wanyan smiled and rubbed An An's head, and An An obediently followed her mother back to the living room.
After the children left the kitchen, the pace in the kitchen became noticeably faster, and soon Gu Tingxiao also came back from get off work.
Gu Tingxiao brought his comrades home, and the children ran over as soon as they saw their father.
Even Yi Yi, when she saw Gu Tingxiao coming back, reached out for a hug.
Gu Tingxiao washed his hands, wiped them clean, and then held his daughter in his arms.
Gu Tingxiao wrapped Yi Yi in a military coat to prevent her from catching a cold again.
They poked their little heads out one by one and looked at the uncles who came to their house, observing them with their round eyes.
Yi Yi was wearing a red dress today, with little tiger shoes on her feet, and her sparse hair was tied into two small buns on top of her head.
He is so cute no matter how you look at him. His chubby little face looks left and right at the uncles who came to his house.
There are so many people at home, including so many strange uncles. It’s so scary.
But why do I feel that everyone is my father? ? ?
Yi Yi looked up at Gu Tingxiao, carefully examined Gu Tingxiao's face, and made sure that she had not recognized the wrong father. Only then did she feel at ease to continue staying in Gu Tingxiao's arms.
Sheng Wanyan heard the sound, poured a few glasses of water from the kitchen, and asked them to sit down and chat.
"sister in law."
"Hello, sister-in-law."
"Hello, sister-in-law."
Everyone stood up to greet her, and Sheng Wanyan walked over with a gentle smile, holding a cup of tea.
"Everyone, please feel free to take a seat."
"There's nothing good to serve at home, so you can have some tea and snacks first."
"The food will be ready in a moment."
Sheng Wanyan said polite words, and everyone quickly expressed their opinions. She was joking, and everyone knew that her sister-in-law was an excellent cook.
"Sister-in-law is joking."
"That's right, we don't mind."
"That's right, sister-in-law's cooking skills are well-known. We ate it last time and still miss it."
