Chapter 7: Captain Rong is coming back to get a divorce this time?

Bada Town is very small, so small that any small news can spread quickly.

A group of people could be seen gathered together near the dormitory building, whispering to each other. If one walked closer, one could hear that what they were discussing was Rong Jingchen's return.

"I heard that Captain Rong is back to visit his family? Let me tell you, it's really not easy to be a soldier. You can only go home a few times throughout the year." One of them asked.

Rong Jingchen came back the day before yesterday. Everyone has been curious about this matter these two days. After all, Rong Jingchen has a special identity. He has become the head of the North China Theater at such a young age, which is already very remarkable!

"Oh, what else could it be? It must be about the Ye family's business. He went to the Ye family as soon as he came back. I saw it with my own eyes. It was probably about the divorce." A woman with permed hair poked her head over mysteriously, looking around while speaking, as if she was telling some big secret.

"Divorce? Captain Rong finally came back, and he wants a divorce?"

When several people heard this, they were a little surprised.

"Wasn't this marriage forced? After they got the marriage certificate last year, didn't Captain Rong go straight back to the army?" the man continued.

The people in Bada Town were also aware of this matter, and they had talked a lot about Rong Jingchen and Ye Muqi getting married.

Even though everyone knew that Rong Jingchen didn't like Ye Muqi, they still got the marriage certificate. It was still surprising that he wanted to get a divorce after not coming back for more than a year.

"In fact, it's not Captain Rong's fault. The Ye family is really a bit pretentious. They jumped into the river desperately just to force others to come back. If it were my family, I wouldn't dare to ask for it, let alone Captain Rong."

"Isn't it? She is pretty, but her personality is not suitable for living!"

Thinking about what happened when Ye Muqi jumped into the river a few days ago, Rong Jingchen came back right after he jumped into the river. Who would believe it if he said there was no connection between them?

But after all they said, they didn't go straight to Ye Muqi and tell him. If this irritated Ye Muqi and he jumped into the river again, they would be the murderer!

…

Ye Muqi was at home at the moment. He was free anyway, so he subconsciously looked towards the kitchen.

"I'll be going to the military area in a few days. Why don't I make some delicious food for them before I leave?" Ye Muqi muttered.

Ye Muqi did as he said. He turned around and went into the space, ready to see if he could get something delicious.

There were a dazzling array of items in the space. Once Ye Muqi entered, she couldn't stop walking around. She wanted to try everything. If it wasn't unrealistic, she could have prepared a whole Manchu-Han banquet!

"It's better not to take this. Let's make something that my parents have never eaten before..." Ye Muqi took a look and put the ordinary dish he had just taken back.

After thinking about it, I decided to get something that is not common in this era, so that Xia Ying and Ye Zhengfeng can have a taste.

Ye Muqi took some side dishes and walked towards the meat area, his eyes immediately cast on the fresh seafood.

"Seafood..."

After looking around, Ye Muqi couldn't help but sigh.

Even if he wasn't allergic, it would be hard to explain if he took these things out. In the end, Ye Muqi carefully selected the best Kobe beef.

"Get some more fruit and make some fruit cakes for them to try." Ye Muqi walked briskly. Facing so many dishes, it was like heaven for her as a great chef.

After coming out of the space, Ye Muqi rushed into the kitchen and started working.

In the evening, Ye Zhengfeng returned before Xia Ying, but unlike the previous times, this time he looked tense and his face looked a little ugly, as if he was holding back anger.

Ye Muqi walked out of the kitchen happily, holding the freshly made fruit basket.

"Dad is back? The meal is almost ready. We can eat when Mom comes back..." Ye Muqi smiled and looked over. "What's wrong with you? Are you in a bad mood?"

"Oh, nothing. I'm a little tired after getting off work." Seeing his daughter, Ye Zhengfeng restrained his expression. Except for his brows which were still slightly wrinkled, his expression softened when facing Ye Muqi.

Then he looked at the three dishes and one soup on the table, which included both meat and vegetables, well-matched, as well as the fruit pick that Ye Muqi had just brought over, and he couldn't help but reveal a look of satisfaction.

His daughter has really grown up.

Thinking of the rumors he heard in the factory today, Ye Zhengfeng became angry. His Qiqi was such a great girl, pretty and could cook, how could she have done such a thing?

Moreover, Xiaorong didn’t come back to get a divorce this time!

After a while, Xia Ying also came back. After Ye Muqi served the meal, the Ye family officially started eating.

The aroma of the cooked Kobe beef is irresistible. It is made from top-quality ingredients, and Ye Muqi did not process it excessively. He only used the simplest seasonings to preserve the original flavor of the food as much as possible.

Seeing Ye Zhengfeng picking up a piece of meat, Ye Muqi couldn't help but look over with anticipation.

Ye Zhengfeng took a look at the meat cut into long strips and didn't quite understand why it was cut so big, but he still took a bite.

"What kind of meat is this? I've never eaten anything so tender." Ye Zhengfeng looked surprised, then turned to Ye Muqi and asked.

It was fragrant but not greasy, and smooth in the mouth. The taste was really good. After asking the question, Ye Zhengfeng couldn't help but put the meat he had just picked up into his mouth.

"Is it really that delicious?" Seeing his reaction, Xia Ying, who was standing by, couldn't help but curiously pick up a piece of meat with chopsticks and taste it. "...I'm telling you, it's really tender. Have you ever bought this kind of meat at home?"

"No, I just bought it outside." Ye Muqi smiled and changed the subject casually.

Seeing her parents eating happily, she was happy too.

Xia Ying glanced at Ye Muqi with relief. She felt a little relieved that her daughter would go to the military district with her. At least she wouldn't starve to death.

After finishing the meal, Xia Ying didn't let Ye Muqi clean up, and took the empty bowl to the kitchen herself.

Ye Zhengfeng rummaged through the cupboard in the living room and soon found an exquisite-looking iron can. He walked towards Ye Muqi with it.

"Xixi, please deliver this tea to the Rong family tomorrow." Ye Zhengfeng carefully handed the jar of tea in his hand to her.

Ye Muqi reached out to take it, with a puzzled look on his face. Why did they have to deliver tea to the Rong family for no reason?

"Why?"

"Didn't Xiao Rong come to give us some local specialties two days ago? We have to give her something in return." Of course, Ye Zhengfeng mainly wanted to let the neighbors see that his daughter and the Rong family are getting along well!

What bullshit divorce? That's not happening at all.

He wants his daughter to slap them in the face!

"Oh." Ye Muqi nodded.

It seems that Rong Jingchen doesn't like drinking tea either.

"This is good tea from the factory. Don't spill it." Ye Zhengfeng looked at Ye Muqi looking down at the tea and reminded him with some concern.

Judging from Ye Zhengfeng's expression, he attaches great importance to this tea.

"Got it." Ye Muqi put the tea away.
