"I want to announce something. I will be promoted to senior military doctor tomorrow. Everyone, be happy!"
Mu Qingyuan immediately stood up and applauded, and spoke quickly as if he was afraid of delaying anything.
"Okay, okay, Yaoyao, you are so awesome! Dabao and Xiaobao, mommy is really awesome!"
Although he is a doctor, he knows one thing: there are no easy assessments in the army.
The two little guys followed suit. Dabao immediately stood up on the stool and applauded, while Xiaobao sat in his seat obediently.
The two little treasures said in unison, "Dad is right, Mom, you are awesome!"
Lu Zhiyao, who had been trying to hold back her laughter, became shy when she saw everyone cheering her on, and quickly waved her hands, "No, no! Sit down, everyone! Sit down!"
Unexpectedly, after Lu Zhiyao finished speaking, the two children cheered even harder, making Lu Zhiyao and Mu Qingyuan laugh so hard that their stomachs hurt.
Remembering that the cake was still in the cupboard, Lu Zhiyao continued mysteriously, "Dabao and Xiaobao, Mommy has prepared a surprise. I'm sure you can guess what it is!"
"Mom, what is that?"
"Mom, mom, please tell me!"
Surprised upon hearing this, the two little treasures were even more excited than before, blinking their big eyes, looking forward to what Lu Zhiyao would come up with.
Seeing that everyone was looking forward to it, Lu Zhiyao went to the kitchen and brought out the cake.
The cake base was baked by Lu Zhiyao in the oven in the space, and the cream was also whipped by her in the space with a machine, but the surface decorations were found outside the space. They were all some common fruits, such as apples and oranges, which can be bought in the market.
Because she was afraid that Mu Qingyuan would be suspicious, what she made was very different from what could be bought outside.
It is just a cake base with cream spread on the outside, two kinds of fruits cut into pieces and evenly placed on the top, with some green leaves added in between. The whole cake is relatively simple, but Lu Zhiyao can guarantee that it will be delicious.
When the cake was served, Dabao and Xiaobao's eyes lit up.
"Wow!"
"Wow, cake!"
Mu Qingyuan had been looking forward to a surprise and was even guessing what it was. But when the cake was brought out, even Mu Qingyuan was not surprised.
He guessed many things, but didn't guess any of them.
However, cake is something that can't be made casually nowadays. It is still a rare thing. Mu Qingyuan can only eat it occasionally, so he still suppressed his curiosity.
"Yaoyao, how is this cake made?"
"Oh... this, the cake base... I bought it from a cake shop outside, and the rest was made with simple tools at home... Never mind, just eat the cake and see how it tastes!"
Lu Zhiyao didn't expect Mu Qingyuan to still ask, so she just found an excuse and quickly changed the subject at the end of the conversation, and directly asked them to cut the cake.
Mu Qingyuan has always trusted Lu Zhiyao and didn't doubt her at all. Instead, he used the fruit knife at home to divide the cake.
This was the first time for the two little ones to eat cake. As soon as Mu Qingyuan made the first cut, the sweet aroma of the cake wafted out.
The smell wafted into every corner of the house, making Dabao drool so much that his saliva almost dripped onto the table.
Xiaobao also stared at the cake, afraid of missing the moment.
When Lu Zhiyao saw Dabao’s saliva, she smiled and found the handkerchief they usually used to wipe their saliva.
"Dabao, are you looking forward to it so much?"
Lu Zhiyao asked while wiping.
Just then, after Mu Qingyuan cut out the first piece of cake and put it on a plate, he specifically asked the two little treasures.
"Dabao and Xiaobao, who should I give the first portion to?"
Dabao wanted to eat it very much, but he hesitated for a while, and so did Xiaobao. She was the same as Dabao.
Then the two little treasures said in unison, "To Mommy!"
Although they all want to eat, in their hearts, mom is always ranked first, and love overcomes appetite.
Lu Zhiyao put down the handkerchief, took the cake and put it on the table.
Mu Qingyuan saw that Lu Zhiyao didn't plan to eat it herself, so he quickly cut out a second portion and handed it to Lu Zhiyao.
Lu Zhiyao placed two pieces of cake directly in front of the two children.
"Mom wants the little ones to eat first, because the little ones and the big ones have behaved very well these days, and this is a reward!"
"Okay, thank you, Mom!"
Dabao and Xiaobao's eyes lit up, they took the cake and started eating in big mouthfuls while slurping their saliva.
The sweet and soft taste of the cake fills the children's mouths, and the perception of food makes the children's sense of happiness rise sharply.
The first time he ate cake, Dabao naively exclaimed, "Cake is the most delicious thing in the world. Mom and Dad, I love cake the most."
"My brother is right. I want to eat cake every day!"
Xiaobao's eyes were bright and he felt extremely satisfied.
Mu Qingyuan smiled, "My dears, you can eat cake every day. Mom will make it only when you behave well."
Then he gave the third piece to Lu Zhiyao and cut a very small piece for himself.
"Then my sister will behave well every day from now on."
Mu Qingyuan was already very satisfied watching them eat, and it didn't seem to matter what he ate. He just ate a small piece of cake and then started eating the vegetables.
Seeing them eating so happily, Lu Zhiyao thought that she had eaten enough before and was reluctant to leave it all for the children, and followed Mu Qingyuan to eat.
The two kids fought pretty well and ate the whole cake.
Lu Zhiyao, on the other hand, regretted not making a bigger one. She only made a six-inch cake. She thought that there were so many vegetables and was afraid that the cake would be too big and waste the vegetables.
She didn't expect that the two little ones would like the cake so much.
Lu Zhiyao looked at Mu Qingyuan's happy look every day, and thought that he was happy for her, and her heart was warm.
In fact, Mu Qingyuan learned another good news about himself in the army the other day.
That afternoon, his superior, Captain Liu Haijun, called him to his office and showed him a table.
On the form was the recommendation form for deputy commander of the 32nd Regiment that Commander Liu had just filled out. The recommender column had Commander Liu's signature on it, while the recommended person column had the three words "Mu Qingyuan" written on it.
Seeing his name, Mu Qingyuan excitedly confirmed it three times.
"Captain, is this me?"
He felt very credible and spoke fluently.
There are many battalion commanders in the army, and Mu Qingyuan also knows that none of these people sit in their positions by relying on their own strength. This is why Mu Qingyuan feels particularly surprised.
Captain Liu stood up from his seat, walked to Mu Qingyuan, and patted Mu Qingyuan's shoulder with his hand behind his back.
"This is a nomination, this is an appointment. You have to wait for your chance. You have to work hard! I have high hopes for you."
After saying this, Captain Liu walked out of the office.
