Yang Niannian exclaimed in surprise, "This rabbit must be about four or five pounds, right? Sister Wang, you are really good at raising small animals."

Wang Fengjiao was so flattered that her face lit up with smiles. "It weighed 5.9 jin before it was slaughtered. An An's two little rabbits are better raised. He couldn't bear to kill them for food, so he still raised them at home."

"I thought he would get bored after raising rabbits for a while, but I didn't expect him to be so patient." Yang Niannian suddenly had an idea, "Sister Wang, you are so good at raising rabbits, you can definitely expand the scale and make a lot of money in a year."

Wang Fengjiao perked up, "Niannian, I was just about to tell you about this. I've only been raising rabbits for a few months, and I've made dozens of dollars just from selling the rabbits. Old Zhou was so happy that he even helped me expand the rabbit hutch outside."

"Raising rabbits doesn't cost much, but it's a bit stressful. But I'm happy to worry about it. I can earn some money, and my family can live a better life. I'm just worried that if I raise too many, it will be hard to sell them."

Yang Niannian encouraged her, "Sister Wang, just rest assured to raise the fish. If you can't sell them, I will find someone to help you find a way to sell them."

Wang Fengjiao was overjoyed. She also knew that Yang Niannian knew many people in business, so she said happily.

"Nian Nian, you are my family's great benefactor. If you hadn't given me those rabbits, how could I have thought of raising them?"

"Actually, you're the one helping me. If you didn't raise them, I don't know what to do with so many little rabbits." Yang Niannian continued.

The two of them had not chatted for a few words when a military wife came to visit.

Upon learning that Yang Niannian and Lu Shishen had returned, the military wives came over in twos and threes to say hello, but seeing that she was busy, they didn't stay long. Anyway, they came here just for the formality.

Yang Niannian planned to make some dumplings as the staple food in the evening and stir-fry a few dishes. While she was kneading the dough, Hu Qiaomei came to the kitchen door holding the child.

"Hey, you're kneading dough so early, what delicious food are you going to make?"

Yang Niannian replied indifferently, "Making dumplings."

Hu Qiaomei pouted jealously, "Dumplings and meat, how can we finish all of them?"

His eyes rolled and he suddenly smiled again, "Oh, my coal stove is out and I haven't lit it yet, why don't we just eat together tonight."

Yang Niannian decisively refused, "We have invited too many people today, and there is no room for everyone."

Hu Qiaomei didn't feel embarrassed about being rejected. Not only did she not leave, she also started to talk about all sorts of things. "You are so beautiful, there must be a lot of boys chasing you in school, right?"

Wang Fengjiao couldn't listen any longer, "What are you asking? Nian Nian is already married, why would someone pursue her?"

"I'm just asking, why are you so anxious?"

Hu Qiaomei rolled her eyes, turned around and left with the child in her arms.

As soon as the man left, Wang Fengjiao took a knife and chopped the rabbit meat, talking as she chopped.

"Captain Wang's wife is really a little bit abnormal in her brain, and she is too shameless. She had a good relationship with Yu Hongli for a while before, and she would go to eat with her every now and then. At mealtime, she would take her two children to sit at the table and refuse to get down. Yu Hongli endured it for seven or eight days before she got angry. It was really ugly."

Yang Niannian was not surprised at all that someone like Hu Qiaomei could do such a thing and said with a smile.

"Yu Hongli has probably never seen anyone so shameless."

Wang Fengjiao, "That's not the case. Yu Hongli has hinted at it several times, but it's useless even if she's being rude."

She was nimble and quick, and quickly finished the work at hand. "The rabbit meat is chopped. Which piece of meat is for making dumplings? I'll chop the dumpling stuffing first."

Yang Niannian pointed at the pork on the chopping board and said, "The piece with fat and lean parts is for making dumplings."

"So much?" Wang Fengjiao was a little surprised. "It must be four or five kilograms, right?"

Yang Niannian said crisply, "There are many people here tonight. Since we are inviting you to dinner, we need to make sure everyone is well fed. If we don't prepare enough, no one will feel comfortable eating to their heart's content."

Wang Fengjiao sighed, "Nian Nian, I am so lucky to know you! I am so lucky to have received the blessing of Captain Lu."

Yang Niannian is the only one in the entire military academy who is so generous.

After Wang Fengjiao chopped the dumpling stuffing, Yang Niannian mixed the stuffing and called Lu Ruoling over to help make the dumplings. Lu Ruoling was responsible for rolling out the dough, and Wang Fengjiao was responsible for making the dumplings. The two worked together very well.

Yang Niannian was standing in front of the coal stove cooking. She knew that everyone was tired of eating cabbage and winter melon, so she didn't cook these two dishes.

I first made braised rabbit meat, spicy chicken, braised pork, and pickled fish, and finally made the leek fried eggs that the children love.

There aren't many dishes, but the portions are big.

The whole yard was filled with the aroma of vegetables.

Thinking that such a big scene had already been created, Yang Niannian went into the house to discuss it with Lu Shishen.

"How about asking Li Fengyi to invite the old leader and Deputy Commander Qin as well? It doesn't matter if they come with two more. I'll make some stir-fried radish and pork and fry some peanuts. It will be enough for everyone."

Lu Shi was silent for a moment, then nodded and said, "Alright, let's treat them to a meal before the New Year."

Lu Shishen didn't feel sorry for everyone eating too much. The weather was cold and the water was icy. Yang Niannian's hands were already red from the cold.

"Then you sit for a while. I'll ask Li Fengyi to invite someone. We can have dinner when he comes back."

Yang Niannian was busy cooking and didn't chat much. She turned and went to the west room and said to Li Fengyi who was watching TV with the children.

"Li Fengyi, go to the army and invite the old commander and Deputy Commander Qin to come over for dinner."

"Okay."

Li Fengyi responded loudly and ran faster than a rabbit.

An An was watching TV. When she heard the conversation between Yang Niannian and Li Fengyi, she asked hesitantly in a low voice, "Godmother, is my dad coming over to eat?"

Yang Niannian walked over and rubbed his little head, "You don't need to call your father, he will come by himself."

"Niannian, do you want to cook dumplings now?" Wang Fengjiao's voice came from the kitchen.

Yang Niannian hurried to the kitchen and said, "Don't cook yet. The old leader will be here soon. I'll add two more dishes."

When Wang Fengjiao heard that there were more dishes, she said.

"Let me change the coal first."

Yang Niannian took two large green radishes, cut off the two ends with a knife, washed them clean, sliced ​​them neatly, and cut some fat and put it in the pot to squeeze out the oil.

People nowadays like to eat fatty meat, thinking it is delicious and nutritious. In fact, it is all because they have no oil in their stomachs.

Wang Fengjiao brought the cooked dishes to the main room. The table was too small to hold so many dishes. She was about to ask the children to move the table when she saw Zhou Bingxing and Lu Nianfei coming in hurriedly, each carrying a table.

The old chief and Qin Aonan followed closely behind. Everyone had smiles on their faces, and it was obvious that everyone was in a good mood.

Yang Niannian hurried out of the kitchen to greet him, and said with a smile, "Old Chief, please come in and sit down. The food is ready, and we have dumplings stuffed with pork and celery."

When the old leader heard this, he burst into laughter and said, "Thank you for your hard work."

"Chief."

Lu Shishen also walked out from the inner room.

The old chief glanced at him and asked, "How is your recovery going?"

"It's nothing." Lu Shishen said in a calm voice.

The old commander snorted, "It's okay. You don't have to go to the army before the New Year. Just rest at home and recuperate."

Everyone present laughed knowing what was going on. How could the old leader let Lu Shishen recuperate?

It was obvious that he was asked to stay at home with his wife.

Wang Fengjiao brought over a half basin of hot water and asked everyone to wash their hands. "Everyone, wash your hands and get ready for dinner."

Zhou Bingxing, "You guys sit down first, I'll go back and bring some stools over."

"Let the children move them." Wang Fengjiao pushed open the west door and said to the children, "Go back and move all the stools here."

Several children responded in loud voices and ran out all at once, each one faster than the other.
