Zhou Bingxing put two tables together and moved another one into the inner room for the child to sit.

Yang Niannian had already divided the food into two portions, placing the large portion on the adults' table in the main room, and the small portion in the room for the children to eat together.

Lu Ruoling and the children were eating in the inner room. Li Fengyi felt it was stressful to eat in the main room, so he went to the children's table.

Yang Niannian was not the type to let the men eat first while she picked up leftovers to eat. She left some dishes in the kitchen and ate with Wang Fengjiao while watching the dumplings cook on the coal stove.

Wang Fengjiao teased her.

"The old commander saw that you two had been separated for a long time, so he deliberately asked Captain Lu to stay at home with you. In the past, when Captain Lu was injured, he would run to the army as long as he could get out of bed. He couldn't exercise, but he had to train soldiers in the training ground. Those soldiers loved and hated him."

Yang Niannian found it funny and felt sorry for Lu Shishen, "This guy just doesn't know how to take care of his body. If I didn't have to study, I would definitely keep a close eye on him."

Thinking about having to be separated for a long time, I really don’t want to bear it!

There was no mobile video chatting in those days, so when I missed Lu Shishen, I could only look at his photos, which was meaningless.

Wang Fengjiao asked suspiciously, "Niannian, didn't Captain Lu tell you?"

"What?" Yang Niannian was puzzled.

Wang Fengjiao glanced towards the door and saw that there was no one outside, so she whispered mysteriously.

"Captain Lu will be transferred to Beijing next year, and you won't have to live apart anymore. Captain Lu didn't tell you about such a big thing?"

Yang Niannian was delighted and blinked, "Is this true? I didn't hear him say it. Is it not confirmed yet?"

Lu Shishen has a steady personality and doesn't like to show off. He usually won't talk about things that haven't been confirmed.

"It's almost certain. Captain Lu has won first-class merit again this time. The old leader feels that if Captain Lu stays here, he can only stay in this position at most, and it will ruin his future. Now he has contacted Jing City and plans to transfer Captain Lu there. There are no more than five people who know about this."

Wang Fengjiao's words sounded very specific, as if the matter had really been settled.

Yang Niannian understood immediately, "The matter has not been finalized yet. Shi Shen must be afraid that something unexpected will happen, so he didn't say anything."

"I think so." Wang Fengjiao glanced at the coal stove and quickly stood up. "The water is boiling. We can cook dumplings now."

Yang Niannian stood up and lifted the lid of the pot, and Wang Fengjiao brought the dumplings into the pot.

The two were busy when Hu Qiaomie's voice suddenly came from the yard.

"Hey, are you all eating? It's so lively today!"

When Wang Fengjiao walked to the kitchen door, she saw Hu Qiaomei standing at the door of the main room with Baodan in her right hand and a large bowl in her left hand.

Several grown men were having a meal. Not only did Hu Qiaomei come with the child in her arms, she also held a bowl in her hands, which made everyone feel a little awkward.

If Captain Wang came, it would be fine for everyone to invite him to sit down and eat together, but with a woman here, what should they say?

The old leader had never seen Hu Qiaomei before, and asked in confusion, "Whose relative is this?"

Lu Shishen replied in a deep voice, "Captain Wang's wife."

Hu Qiaomei had never met the old leader, and her eyes were fixed on the dining table. "I'm here to borrow some vinegar."

Wang Fengjiao called her, "Come to the kitchen to borrow vinegar! What are you doing standing at the door of the living room?"

Hu Qiaomei pretended to be surprised, "Oh, the vinegar is in the kitchen? I thought it was taken to the main room to eat with dumplings. We like to dip dumplings in vinegar."

She said this but stood motionless at the door of the main room. Seeing that no one asked her to sit down and eat, she twisted Baodan's hand with her fingernails.

Baodan immediately burst into tears. The old leaders and their colleagues had all studied criminal investigation, so they all saw her little move.

Hu Qiaomei was still unaware of it, and squatted down to comfort the child, "What's wrong? Why are you crying? Just tell me what you want."

Baodan pouted, "Wow...my hand hurts."

Hu Qiaomie glared at him, then turned and smiled at the old leader.

"This kid is like this. Whenever he wants to eat something, he pretends his hand hurts. He must be craving the meat on your table."

The old leader frowned. Although he saw through her little trick, he still spoke for the sake of the child.

"Bring the bowl over here, and give the kid some meat to eat!"

Wang Fengjiao looked down on Hu Qiaomie's behavior, but since the old leader had spoken, she couldn't say anything.

We have to give face to the old leader, right?

So he said, "Old Chief, you guys eat, the dumplings in the kitchen are almost ready, I'll serve a bowl of dumplings to her baby."

Hu Qiaomei was hesitating whether to order dumplings or the meat dishes on the table when Captain Wang suddenly strode into the yard with a gloomy face.

Seeing her standing at the door of the main room holding a bowl, her face felt hot as if on fire, and she growled in a low voice.

"What are you doing here?"

Hu Qiaomei felt a little guilty, "I'm here to borrow vinegar."

Wang Kun’s back teeth are almost broken. Why does he need vinegar when he eats fried cabbage and tofu at home?

Knowing his daughter-in-law's character, he glared at her angrily and said, "Take the child back quickly."

How could Hu Qiaomei go back empty-handed?

She stiffened her neck and said, "The baby wants to eat dumplings, but they haven't been served yet."

"go back."

Wang Kun was furious, his eyes almost popped out. Hu Qiaomei knew he was really angry, so she quickly ran back with the baby in her arms.

Lu Nianfei deliberately asked, "Captain Wang, would you like to sit down and eat something with us?"

Wang Kun was so embarrassed that blood was about to drip out of his face. "No, you guys eat. My family is still cooking. I'll go back first."

After saying that, he turned around and left. When he reached the gate of the courtyard, he remembered that he had not yet said hello to the old leader. But he could not turn back, so he had to bite the bullet and go home.

Although the old leaders were speechless about Hu Qiaomie's behavior, they were all grown men and naturally would not gossip about other people's wives behind their backs, so they continued to eat and chat.

Wang Fengjiao also turned and went into the kitchen and told Yang Niannian about Hu Qiaomei's behavior.

"I saw it all just now. She pinched the child on purpose. I have lived for half my life and I have never seen her act like this. I don't think it was the child who was greedy, it was her. Captain Wang has lost all his face because of her."

Yang Niannian scooped out a bowl of dumplings and said, "Sister Wang, thank you for taking the dumplings out of the pot and bringing them to the main hall. I will send a bowl of dumplings to Captain Wang's home."

So many people were here, and Hu Qiaomei even came with a bowl in her hand, saying that the child was greedy. If she, as the team leader's wife, didn't show some appreciation, it would seem a bit petty.

Hu Qiaomei disregarded Captain Wang's face, and Yang Niannian could not disregard Lu Shishen's face. After all, Lu Shishen was now in a rising period.

Wang Fengjiao was also a smart person. She smiled and said, "Niannian, it is really a blessing for Captain Lu to marry you."

As soon as Yang Niannian walked out of the kitchen, the old leader noticed her behavior and couldn't help but glance at Lu Shishen.

"A piece of wood, but married a good wife."
