"The division commander will be here soon, and all the officers in our army will be there. I'm worried..."
Jiang Mengxue also knew what she was worried about, but it was not something they could stop.
Nowadays, many soldiers are single at an advanced age.
When the leaders in the army asked them what their wishes were, most of them wanted to find a wife.
However, the situation where there are more men than women is not so easy to solve.
Jiang Mengxue remembered a newspaper article she had read that said thousands of high school students were arranged to go on blind dates with soldiers in the army.
They don’t mind whether they remarry or not, or whether they have children or not, as long as they are willing to live a good life.
Therefore, many widows with children are also arranged to marry soldiers in the army.
So it seems that the leaders must be considering the side of the soldiers.
She thought that Gu Zhenhai was a high-ranking official in the Western Military Region. He wouldn't just match people up with other girls for no reason, right?
It shouldn’t be like that. If he did that, wouldn’t Luan Huiying scold him for a long time when he gets back?
"Don't even think about it. Your friends might already have a partner. As long as you submit a relationship report, the boss won't introduce you to anyone randomly."
Han Siyue hasn't seen them for several months. The art troupe performs all over the country and they don't know where they will go next time.
It would take some time for her letters to reach them, so apart from writing to them when she got married, she hadn't been in touch with them for a long time.
"They've been busy with training these past few days. I'll go ask them in a few days. It's better for them to find a partner and settle down here."
Han Siyue was really worried that they would be matched up mindlessly, and that they wouldn't be able to refuse when their leader asked.
Could it be that you look down on your leader's perspective? Or do you disagree with his words?
Instead of doing this, it is better to plan ahead or tell your boss directly that you don’t want to get married and want to devote the rest of your life to the country.
Just like Lin Jianhua from the health center, she has never gotten married and no one has urged her to do so.
The two of them strolled to the gate of the family compound and met Guan Dapeng coming out of the compound.
Jiang Mengxue thought it was Gu Qingbei who asked him to come back for something, so she stepped forward and asked, "Xiao Guan, is there something wrong with your Brigade Commander Gu?"
Guan Dapeng was wondering where to find someone, but he didn't expect to meet him as soon as he went out.
"Sister-in-law, one of Brigade Commander Gu's comrades, Dong Yixing, is on leave to visit you. He asked me to bring back some meat and vegetables, saying he'd like to invite his comrades back for dinner tonight."
Dong Yixing? Jiang Mengxue remembered the name immediately. She had seen him at the shooting range when she came to visit her family last year and even invited him home for dinner.
According to Gu Qingbei, the two of them had a very good relationship. He also knew Lu Zhengming and they were soldiers from the same army.
"Okay, I'll go back and prepare now. You and Xiao Xie should come over tonight. Don't forget to tell Political Commissar Lu too. You can have a good time tonight."
Han Siyue was resting in the afternoon, but Jiang Mengxue asked her to go back and prepare the food.
When I get home, I do nothing but mix the dough for steamed buns. Put it in a pot to keep it warm and let it rise. There is hot water underneath. It will probably be ready in less than an hour.
However, the steamed buns have to wait for Li Cuiying or Gu Zhenjiang to come back to steam them. Using the same method and the same heat and time, Jiang Mengxue's steamed buns always stick to the bottom of the pot, and the skin underneath cannot be peeled off, even though the dough has obviously risen well.
The rest of the preparation was not difficult for her. She would cut what was needed for each dish and put it on a plate, or arrange them together, so that she knew what to do at a glance when cooking.
Because it was a last-minute notice, the preparations were not sufficient, but a few meat dishes were still made.
The most indispensable dishes for entertaining guests are braised pork, stewed pork ribs with dried beans, hot and sour shredded potatoes, braised chicken with potatoes, and stir-fried bok choy with garlic.
Looking at the dishes, Jiang Mengxue went out and called Li Da out of his nest.
Li Da must have just woken up. He didn't know what was going on when he was pulled out. He lay on the ground, stretched out, and looked at Jiang Mengxue in confusion with squinted eyes.
Jiang Mengxue pulled its ears without any apology and said, "Go and inform your boss that there are guests coming to our house tonight. Bring back Big Girl and Big Girl Cub in advance. If possible, add a dish for the family. Go ahead."
Regardless of whether it understood or not, I picked it up and drove it out.
Han Siyue looked at Jiang Mengxue as if she was a fool, and her expression clearly said: "Do you think it can understand?"
Jiang Mengxue didn't care. Those who understood or not would know in the evening.
Besides, even if she doesn't understand it, it won't cause any trouble. She just does what she wants. It's not that important.
Of course, the main people cooking in the evening are Gu Zhenjiang who cooks the pot and Li Cuiying who stir-fries the dishes.
Jiang Mengxue has already kneaded the buns and placed them on the table. All she needs to do is come back and steam them.
All she had to do was put the ingredients in the pot, light the fire and cook it, but Jiang Mengxue just couldn't make complete steamed buns. She couldn't figure out what went wrong.
So when another pot of perfect steamed buns came out of the pot, Jiang Mengxue became confident again. It looked so simple.
As expected, Dahei came back much earlier than usual, and he and Honghe were holding a fat and big rabbit in their mouths.
After arriving home, the two sheep returned to their own nest, which was covered with hay.
Dahei put down what he was eating, went into the kitchen to check, and seeing nothing unusual, he went to the living room.
He came out and stared at Jiang Mengxue, wanting an explanation.
"What are you looking at? The guests haven't arrived yet. Didn't I ask you to come back early? What are the guests going to eat if the food isn't even ready?"
