Yang Niannian brought Zheng Xinyue to the main hall and asked her opinion first, "What hairstyle do you want?"

"How about I also have a ponytail like yours?" Zheng Xinyue said, staring at Yang Niannian's ponytail.

"I just tied it up for cooking convenience." Yang Niannian gathered Zheng Xinyue's hair and tried it out. "Your hair is short, and it will stick up if you tie it into a ponytail, which won't look good."

Zheng Xinyue's hair barely covered her neck and was not even shoulder-length.

"Then you can help me design it!" Zheng Xinyue said casually, "I don't usually tie my hair up. I only grew it in the second half of last year. Before that, my hairstyle was not even as long as a feather duster."

Yang Niannian looked at Zheng Xinyue's hair and thought for a while. Her hair was relatively thick and not very long, so it would not look good in a ponytail, and it would be even less suitable in a bun.

Bun head?

She suddenly had an idea, "I'll give you a half-bun hairstyle!"

Zheng Xinyue didn’t understand what the half-bun hairstyle was. Anyway, she believed in Yang Niannian’s aesthetic taste, so she sat on the stool and let Yang Niannian do whatever she wanted.

Yang Niannian was very skillful and quickly tied her hair into a beautiful bun. With a new hairstyle, she really looked more eye-catching.

If they were in the city, she would definitely put some light makeup on Zheng Xinyue. Unfortunately, this was in the military compound in the 1980s, and except for the bride's wedding, no girls would wear makeup.

Country people can't stand it and think women who wear makeup are not decent.

In the original owner’s memory, there was a new bride who put on lipstick at her wedding and was scolded behind her back for having a mouth that sounded like she had eaten a dead child.

Yang Niannian went back to the room and took out a small mirror, "See if you like it."

As soon as Zheng Xinyue took the mirror, Wang Fengjiao walked in from outside and started praising her.

"Oh, your thick eyebrows and big eyes are already beautiful, and you look even more beautiful after Nian Nian's dressing up. Deputy Captain Qin will definitely stare at you when he sees you."

Zheng Xinyue was also very satisfied with the person in the mirror and said with a smile.

"Nian Nian's hands are so skillful. If I were a man, I would marry a wife like Nian Nian."

Yang Niannian smiled and said, "Stop talking nonsense. Go to your room and watch TV with the kids. I'll go cook."

Wang Fengjiao, "I have already washed and cut the vegetables and meat, you can just put them in the pan and stir-fry them."

Zheng Xinyue rolled up her sleeves and said, "I'll go help."

Wang Fengjiao quickly helped her put down her sleeves. "You are the host today, you can't get all smelly with cooking fumes. Go to your room and take a rest!"

Yang Niannian is generous with the amount of oil she uses when cooking, and the dishes she cooks are colorful, fragrant and tasty. When the breeze blows, the fragrance can be smelled outside the yard.

Ding Lanying pushed her bicycle as she walked past the yard, her face almost touching the ground.

Everyone in the compound knows that Qin Aonan is going on a blind date tonight. Ha, this Yang Niannian is deliberately trying to go against her and is doing all this on purpose to show her, right?

It's ridiculous. Her daughter is a college graduate. What kind of man does she want to find?

…

Yang Niannian's house only had a small square table, which could not accommodate five or six adults, so Wang Fengjiao moved the small square tables at home and put them together.

After cooking dinner, she served the food to the children and brought it into the house, giving them instructions.

"After dinner, stay in the room and watch TV. No one of you is allowed to go out and disturb the adults' chat. Do you hear me?"

The five children were holding their bowls and chopsticks, eating with their mouths full of oil, and nodding with their cheeks puffed out.

“Yes.”

Only then did Wang Fengjiao close the door and go out with satisfaction.

As soon as the dishes were placed on the table, Lu Shishen came back with Qin Aonan and Zhou Bingxing.

The three muscular men walking together were particularly eye-catching, and the wives of the military dependents' wives all greeted them happily.

Zheng Xinyue exclaimed, "Niannian, the one walking in the middle, is that your husband? He's even more handsome than Deputy Head Qin."

Yang Niannian was about to answer when Guan Xinyue suddenly leaned in close to her ear and whispered, "I still prefer Deputy Captain Qin. He has a more raised butt."

Yang Niannian almost choked on her own saliva. This girl spoke even more boldly than her.

Wang Fengjiao looked at the three people entering the yard together and said with a look of disgust.

"My old Zhou is really not suitable to walk with Captain Lu and Deputy Captain Qin. I think he is okay normally, but when they stand together and compare like this, I feel that my old Zhou is unacceptable."

Fortunately, she gave birth to several children and the man was nice to her, otherwise she would have wanted to run away.

Yang Niannian chuckled, "Captain Zhou is beautiful on the inside, rough on the outside, but gentle and considerate on the inside."

Wang Fengjiao laughed, "Niannian, you know how to praise people. And I think my Zhou is okay if he's okay."

Seeing the three people entering the yard, Zheng Xinyue quickly retracted her head and stood obediently behind the door.

Second uncle said, act gentle first and don’t scare people away.

Yang Niannian noticed her behavior and said to Lu Shishen while holding back her laughter.

"The food is ready, you can eat after washing your hands."

Upon hearing this, Lu Shishen led a few people to the kitchen to wash their hands.

Wang Fengjiao smiled and invited Qin Aonan to come in and sit down, and even specially arranged Zheng Xinyue's seat next to Qin Aonan.

"Deputy Captain Qin, you are in for a treat today. All of these dishes were made by Nian Nian. Her cooking skills are better than those of the canteen chef."

Qin Aonan had eaten the dumplings made by Yang Niannian and knew that her cooking skills were indeed good. He nodded and said something to Yang Niannian.

"Thank you for your help."

Yang Niannian introduced them with a faint smile, "Deputy Captain Qin, this is Xinyue. Xinyue, this is Deputy Captain Qin."

Qin Aonan nodded at Zheng Xinyue with an awkward expression, and then looked away. Such a subtle action made Zheng Xinyue very excited.

She likes men who are so good at pretending.

Two of the three men at the table were quiet, so Zhou Bingxing could only find topics to liven up the atmosphere, with Wang Fengjiao joining in.

Although Qin Aonan and Lu Shishen didn't talk much, they would occasionally chat with each other.

When Yang Niannian saw Zheng Xinyue stealing glances at Qin Aonan from time to time, she couldn't help but curl her eyebrows.

"Xinyue, your second uncle also served in the army here. When you have time, bring him to visit the army. I think he must miss his former comrades. I wonder if all of them have retired."

"My second uncle always remembers his old comrades. Every year he goes to the graves of his fallen comrades to burn paper money, and I accompany him every time." Zheng Xinyue said.

When Qin Aonan heard that Zheng Xinyue's second uncle had been a soldier, he couldn't help but look at her. Zheng Xinyue was overjoyed and quickly turned her head and blinked at him.

Their eyes met and Qin Aonan looked away uncomfortably.

Oops, she seemed to have scared Qin Aonan.

Zheng Xinyue felt a little regretful. She should have restrained herself a little.

Seeing that most of the food on the table had been eaten, Lu Shishen said to Qin Aonan coldly, "It's getting dark. Send Comrade Zheng back after dinner."

It was indeed unsafe for a girl to go back alone at night. Among the people present, he was the most suitable person to send Zheng Xinyue back, so Qin Aonan nodded in agreement.

"good."

Zheng Xinyue was delighted and shouted loudly, "Thank you, Deputy Head Qin."

The meal was almost over. Zheng Xinyue hadn't said much. She looked big-eyed and quite quiet. Suddenly, she shouted, which scared Qin Aonan.

Even Zhou Bingxing and Lu Shishen couldn't help but glance at her.

When Zheng Xinyue saw that everyone was looking at her, she suddenly came to her senses, quickly lowered her head, and stepped on the tip of Yang Niannian's shoe helplessly.
