Speaking of Jiang Huaizhi, Jiang Yuanzhao was also confused: "He was watching the show just now, but when he came back from going out, his whole face changed. I don't know who made him angry. I asked him to come for dinner, but he said he wasn't hungry and wanted to go back first."
"That's not right!" Jiang Minke frowned slightly: "Didn't he go find his girlfriend?"
Speaking of this, Jiang Minke looked around and asked, "Where is Yu Nianbai? I saw other female soldiers in the art troupe, but why didn't I see her?"
"Wife, how would I know this? She's not my girlfriend." As he said that, Jiang Yuanzhao sat down, picked up a piece of fried chicken and put it into his mouth.
Jiang Minke always felt something was wrong. While she was still puzzled, Jiang Yuanzhao handed her a piece of fried chicken.
"Huaizhi is very sensible. These two may have made an appointment to go out together. Don't worry about it. This fried chicken is delicious. You should try it too."
Jiang Minke took the fried chicken and gave Jiang Yuanzhao a displeased look: "Isn't this just because I want to show some concern?"
"Didn't Huaizhi promise you that after August 1, he would bring his girlfriend home to formally meet us? Why do you care? He can't lie to you."
Jiang Minke thought about it and didn't worry about where Jiang Huaizhi had gone anymore. She just focused on eating the fried chicken in her hand.
Seeing Ninghe frying another plate of fried chicken, Jiang Minke waved and asked the family of three to come over and eat together.
Mainly, I just want to sit together and chat.
He Shaochuan saw Jiang Yuanzhao next to Jiang Minke. He stopped Ning He and said to her in a low voice, "If you don't want to go, I will refuse. Don't force yourself."
Ning He looked at him with a smile: "Why wouldn't I want to go? Or is it you who doesn't want me to go?"
He Shaochuan was slightly stunned because Ning He saw through all his thoughts.
Indeed, he didn't want Ning He to go there.
"Are you stupid? Are you really going to pay for those boxes of soda out of your own pocket?"
"What do you want?" He Shaochuan heard something from Ning He's words.
Ning He's smile became more and more wanton: "Before you take your vacation, of course you should settle this bill as soon as possible."
As he spoke, Ning He held He Shaochuan's hand in one hand and Qianlin's hand in the other, and walked towards Jiang Minke.
Jiang Minke saw them coming and waved enthusiastically: "Ninghe, come quickly, your family of three will sit opposite us."
Jiang Yuanzhao didn't say anything else, his scrutinizing eyes fixed on Ning He.
Ning He smiled and took the initiative to greet him: "Hello, Chief. Are you satisfied with today's lunch?"
Jiang Yuanzhao coughed lightly and moistened his throat: "It's okay, I can eat it."
As soon as he finished speaking, several people's eyes fell on Jiang Yuanzhao's desk.
The plate was filled with chicken bones.
Jiang Zhengyu didn't understand: "Dad, when you say you can eat, you don't mean you can eat fried chicken, but you can eat it, right?"
Jiang Yuanzhao, who was being sabotaged, glared at Jiang Zhengyu angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about, you little brat!"
Jiang Zhengyu pouted and complained, "If you don't like it, why did you eat all the fried chicken I picked up! I don't care, you have to compensate me for the fried chicken!"
Jiang Yuanzhao was so angry at his own son's words that he was speechless. However, Qianlin was very considerate. He stood up and pulled Xiaoyu to talk.
"Brother Xiaoyu, I'll go get the fried chicken with you. I'll get an extra plate for you to eat."
Jiang Zhengyu was very happy and followed Qianlin to queue up for fried chicken.
After the two children left, Jiang Yuanzhao couldn't help but say to Jiang Minke, "Wife, look at your son. You've spoiled him!"
Jiang Minke glared at him in reproach: "It's like you haven't spoiled your child."
Jiang Yuanzhao was in the wrong and felt guilty, so he didn't dare to say another word.
Jiang Minke didn't bother to pay attention to him. She smiled at Ning He and praised him, "Ning He, the food you made today is so delicious. Fortunately, I insisted on letting you work in the cafeteria."
This is probably the most correct decision Jiang Minke has ever made. Just look at the smiles on the faces of the soldiers and their families today, which is enough to prove how successful today's August 1st ceremony was.
It would have been fine if Jiang Minke hadn't said anything. But when she mentioned it, Jiang Yuanzhao beside her started to talk again: "Wife, wasn't this what I suggested?"
"No one will think you are dumb if you don't speak!" Jiang Minke said angrily.
Jiang Yuanzhao knew what to do and shut up.
He glanced at the silent He Shaochuan across from him and started chatting with him: "I heard that in the live-fire shooting this morning, you ranked first again. Is it five bullets per hole this time?"
He Shaochuan spoke in a calm tone, as if he was just telling a normal story.
"I have failed to live up to the expectations of the chief, but I am nowhere near the style of the chief in his past."
If nothing unexpected happened, Jiang Yuanzhao would be speechless again.
Jiang Minke couldn't help laughing after hearing this: "Shaochuan, your leader is no longer as good as he was in the past. It's just like the saying goes, the waves behind push the waves ahead!"
Jiang Yuanzhao waved his hand, trying to avoid the topic: "Alright, alright, if I had known I would have gone back with Huaizhi, and I shouldn't have come to this dinner."
Ning He took the opportunity to speak: "How can such a sumptuous lunch be without you, Chief? Shaochuan, go get a few bottles of soda, and let's toast to you and Teacher Jiang."
He Shaochuan didn't say much and quickly brought over a few bottles of soda, all of which had already been opened.
Ning He stood up and raised the soda in his hand: "Commander, Teacher Jiang, happy holiday today, we two toast to you!"
As he spoke, Ning He raised his head and took a sip of soda, and He Shaochuan followed closely behind.
Jiang Minke couldn't stand this, so she pulled Jiang Yuanzhao up and toasted him.
Jiang Yuanzhao was a little reluctant at first, but after taking a sip of soda, his eyebrows raised and a look of surprise appeared on his face.
The main reason was that he had never drunk soda before, and this was his first time drinking it.
When the soda first enters your mouth, you feel as if something is pricking the tip of your tongue. It is a very strange feeling, and your mouth feels numb and spicy, but soon the whole mouth is filled with the taste of oranges.
Very unique taste, tastes especially good.
Ning He saw Jiang Yuanzhao's expression change, so he asked him, "How is the chief? Is the soda good?"
Jiang Yuanzhao was still immersed in the taste of the soda. He nodded and said, "I didn't expect this soda to taste so good."
Ning He's smile remained on his face. "As long as it tastes good, that's all. This soda is originally priced at 15 cents a bottle. I ordered 200 bottles, and they gave me a discount, 10 cents a bottle, so 200 bottles is 20 yuan. The chief can sign the reimbursement form for me."
Ning He's words were like a slap in the face, making Jiang Yuanzhao sober up instantly.
"What? These sodas cost twenty dollars! So expensive! You didn't report this during the meeting yesterday!"
Ning He put her index finger to her lips, signaling Jiang Yuanzhao to speak more quietly.
"Commander, you drank the soda, and there were so many eyes watching you. You knew about it, and you can't deny it."
Jiang Yuanzhao finally understood what Ning He meant, and laughed in anger: "You lied to me!"
Ning He shook his finger and corrected him, "Chief, look at the military families around you. They are drinking soda and eating so happily. Spending twenty yuan can make them feel happy on August 1st. If you calculate it this way, isn't this a good deal?"
