Before we knew it, the sun was setting.
As the military bugle sounded, the soldiers also got off work.
Huo Jinyan returned home carrying a few boxes of food.
As soon as I entered the door, I saw two people, one big and one small, sitting under the eaves.
The little guy tilted his head and rested it on Jiang Mengning's legs. Jiang Mengning was combing something on the little guy's head.
Of course he knew it was lice combing.
This scene deeply stimulated his eyes.
He didn't expect that Jiang Mengning, who loved cleanliness so much, would actually catch lice for Nian Nian.
And there is absolutely no intention to be false.
Jiang Mengning, she has really changed a lot.
"Hey, your dad is back."
When Jiang Mengning looked up, she saw the man standing not far away.
She withdrew her hand and decided not to pick lice for Nian Nian anymore.
We have caught almost all the fish for today, so that’s all.
Nian Nian climbed up from her mother, ran to her father and hugged his thighs.
"Dad, why did you come back today? Did you miss mom?"
Huo Jinyan subconsciously glanced at Jiang Mengning. Jiang Mengning stretched lazily with a suppressed smile on her face.
"You really listened to your political commissar and came back when he said so!"
She twisted her waist and walked in front of him.
Her body rubbed against him intentionally or unintentionally.
Huo Jinyan's muscles immediately stiffened.
Jiang Mengning stopped teasing him. Little Nian Nian was still there, and she had to go back to her room to do anything inappropriate for children.
"What are we having for dinner? I'm starving. Is there any meat? I can't just eat plain soup all day! People who know I'm a military wife might think I'm eating vegetarian food. I don't want to become a monk."
She didn't crave meat before, but for some reason, now in the 1980s, she still wants to eat meat.
Huo Jinyan didn't answer and took Nian Nian to the kitchen.
He opened the lunch boxes one by one.
Every time a lid was opened, Jiang Mengning would announce the name of the dish.
"Ma Po Tofu."
"Braised eggplant."
“Stir-fried cabbage with vermicelli.”
After three dishes were served in succession, her face gradually wrinkled.
The delicate eyebrows were twisted into caterpillars.
His expression became increasingly disappointed.
Just as Huo Jinyan was about to start the last dish, he glanced at Jiang Mengning. Seeing her rarely showing this expression, the corners of his lips couldn't help but curl up slightly.
When the lid of the last lunch box was opened, a rich aroma filled the air.
"Ah! I won the prize, it's braised pork."
Jiang Mengning's brows immediately relaxed, and she smiled, revealing a row of white teeth, her face full of joy.
Seeing meat in this situation is like winning the lottery jackpot!
She even wanted to cheer and sing.
"The food for family members in the army is relatively bland. If you want to eat meat, you can buy it on the street."
He knew that Jiang Mengning would not let herself be wronged, so he just said that.
Jiang Mengning ignored him, sat at the table, and picked up a piece of braised pork to eat.
Although it is a big pot meal, it tastes good.
The pork has no fishy smell, is tender and delicious.
Sure enough, all the food in this era is delicious.
Huo Jinyan sat opposite Jiang Mengning.
Nian Nian diligently brought the pudding to her father and placed her brother's portion in his place.
"Dad, this is the pudding Mom made for you, come and eat it."
Her pronunciation is a bit unstandard, and it is easy to hear "pudding" as "patch".
Huo Jinyan thought the matter was over, but he ended up seeing this thing again.
He frowned and looked at it.
What the hell!
Never seen it before.
Looking at Jiang Mengning suspiciously.
I don't understand what she's planning.
