Ana Shen thought it was just a simple gathering, but it turned into a lively banquet.
The originally spacious hall was now packed with people. There were many tall and strong men sitting around the dining table. They were all wearing military uniforms. They should be Song Huaiwen's comrades-in-arms.
Shen Nanqing was well-informed after all. After being stunned for a few seconds, he quickly adjusted himself and smiled broadly at everyone.
Instead, everyone in the room was stunned. The voices that had been rising and falling suddenly stopped. Zhao Jianye rubbed his eyes in disbelief, his face full of astonishment.
Li Yuquan was the one who reacted the least among the others. After a brief moment of astonishment, he returned to normal, stood up, and greeted with a smile: "This is my sister-in-law, right?"
Ana Shen smiled and nodded, then tilted her head to look at Song Huaiwen.
Song Huaiwen glanced at the others coldly, and his eyes turned warm when he looked at Shen Nanqing, "This is Li Yuquan, the political commissar of our regiment."
"Hello, Political Commissar." Shen Nanqing smiled.
Li Yuquan saw that Song Huaiwen looked unhappy and had no intention of introducing himself to everyone, so he didn't get angry. He quickly explained with a smile: "Sister-in-law, I'm really sorry for what happened today. You came to the island yesterday, and today we came to welcome you and your wife. I didn't expect these people to be so eager to come and smell the fragrance. They all came to eat for free. Please don't mind it!"
After saying that, 놛 glared at everyone and said, "Don't just sit there like idiots. Introduce yourselves to my sister-in-law."
Everyone then came to their senses and sighed in their hearts that the rumors were not credible!
Zhao Zhuo was the first to speak, "Hello, sister-in-law. My name is Zhao Zhuo." As he spoke, he stepped forward and put his hand on Song Huaiwen's shoulder, in a very intimate manner, "We grew up together and have a very good relationship. If you need any help in the future, just let me know."
Shen Nanqing felt that this name seemed familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had heard it, but she was sure that it was not said by Song Huaiwen.
She just looked around and found that everyone present was older than her. She felt weird being called sister-in-law by them.
Shen Nanqing pursed her lips slightly, her eyebrows curved: "You look the same age as Huai Wen, calling you sister-in-law always feels too familiar, just call me Shen Nanqing, Nan for Dongnanxixi, Qing for Qing, from now on, everyone can just call me by my name, it sounds friendly and lively, like a family member!"
Li Yuquan looked at Shen Nanqing, who was smiling sweetly, with admiration in her eyes. This girl looked young, but she was smart and insightful. These rough old men were older than her at first glance, and it was a bit awkward to call her sister-in-law. She resolved the differences with a few words and brought them closer without leaving any trace.
For this, 놛 felt deeply relieved and couldn't hide the smile on his face.
Song Huaiwen is a good person in every way except that he is too cold and hard-tempered, and easily offends people. Now that he has this girl to help him, maybe he can change his bad temper, and his life will become more cheerful!
Soon, everyone introduced themselves. In addition to Zhao Zhuo, there were two people who impressed Shen Nanqing.
Shen Nanqing would remember Captain Wang Xingsheng, because he was the man who was kind-hearted to Zhou Cuixiu yesterday. As for Captain Zhao Jianye, he was special enough.
From the moment Zhao Jianye saw Shen Nanqing, his mouth never closed, his eyeballs were about to fall to the ground, and he really wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
Why did I think Shen Nanqing was a girl who was not liked by her boyfriend and was not pretty? She was obviously several times more beautiful than the stars in the movies. It was all Huang Xuelin's fault. If I hadn't said that, I wouldn't have misunderstood.
As for whether the team leader likes it or not, he must like it, very much. You can tell by how much he cares about the house. Even before the target comes, he is already renovating it and looking for fellow villagers to buy furniture for it. He is very attentive. In the past, he would not care about these things and used his time to study tactics.
Zhao Zhuo looked at Zhao Jianye's silly look, and secretly felt lucky that Shen Nanqing, with her red lips and white teeth, was in good health.
When I met Song Huaiwen yesterday, I was lucky that I didn't say anything like "sickly" or something like that, otherwise the next one to be subjected to the devilish training would be 놛.
Although Zhao Jianye is a chatterbox and likes gossip, he never dodges things. This time, he admitted his mistakes to Shen Nanqing and told her about his great achievements in detail, so that if she heard any bad rumors in the future, she should never take them to heart.
After saying that, 놛 did not forget to set a trap for Li Yuquan, "This matter is not entirely 놖's fault. It was all because of the political commissar who misled 놖. If it weren't for 놛, 놖 would not have felt that the regiment commander was forced into a relationship."
Li Yuquan was confused: "???"
"What are you all standing for? Sit down!" Liu Guilan came out of the kitchen carrying dishes and looked at a group of people standing there stupidly with a puzzled look on her face. Then she looked at Shen Nanqing who was hiding behind Song Huaiwen and narrowed her eyes with a smile.
She put the dishes on the table, then wiped her hands with her apron, walked to Ana Shen's side with a smile, and sighed: "This really looks like someone walked out of a picture book. Li Heng from my family came back and said that a fairy sister came, but I didn't believe it!"
Ana Shen has been praised several times today, and her face is a little hot.
"Sister-in-law, we just arrived at home and didn't have much, so we just brought some candies and snacks." Shen Nanqing handed over the bag in his hand.
"Oh! You just came here, why are you bringing anything? This is too polite." Although Liu Guilan said this, she still accepted the gift. After all, it was a token of kindness. She glared at Li Yuquan and said, "Now that the guest is here, let him sit down!"
Li Yuquan hurriedly said, "Your sister-in-law is right. Everyone, please sit down. This is like your own home. Don't be polite."
Liu Guilan asked Shen Nanqing to sit down. Shen Nanqing glanced towards the kitchen and said with a smile, “Sister-in-law, I’ll go to the kitchen to help you.”
"No need. You are the honored guest today. It is not right for an honored guest to take action." Liu Guilan laughed heartily and turned to Song Huaiwen and said, "Huaiwen, she is a girl who came to the island with you alone. You must take good care of her, otherwise my sister-in-law will not forgive you."
Song Huaiwen smiled and nodded, his long arms naturally wrapped around Shen Nanqing's waist, and led her to the table. He pulled a chair over and sat her down steadily, then grabbed some salted edamame and stuffed it into her palm: "Try the side dishes pickled by sister-in-law, they taste very good."
"Yes, my sister-in-law's cooking skills are amazing. I feel like she can be a chef in a state-owned restaurant." Zhao Zhuo quickly agreed.
After a while, the atmosphere in the room became lively, with bursts of laughter heard from time to time.
Since we still had work to do tomorrow, everyone dispersed after dinner.
Liu Guilan's wife took Shen Nanqing's hand and chattered all the way downstairs from home. Her rough palm gently patted the back of Shen Nanqing's hand and said with a smile: "Nanqing, sister-in-law and you get along well. Don't be so formal with her in the future. If you need anything at home, just come and knock on sister-in-law's door!"
The silvery moonlight spreads on the path like a veil, and gusts of sea breeze blow past your ears.
Song Huaiwen held Shen Nanqing's hand and walked towards home. They had walked this road many times before, but this time there was another person beside them. They brought the person closer to them, and their warm breath brushed across her reddened ears: "It's great to have you."
