Chapter 15 Attending a Wedding and Watching the Show



Seeing everyone's curiosity, Xu Pandi couldn't hold back and told them everything she knew.

It turns out there was a man in a nearby village who couldn't find a partner.

Qi Hongwei had met him a few times and he knew his name, so he impersonated Qi Hongwei to date her. Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but sigh.

Because he ruined two girls.

"How was it finally resolved?"

"No action was taken. The man was originally supposed to be sent to a farm, but that female educated youth came out to plead for him. She was pregnant, and her child couldn't be without a father."

The female educated youth and the man were preparing to get married. Fortunately, the village chief's daughter was reserved and only met the man a few times, so she did not lose her virginity.

Ye Zhaozhao and the others heard this much, and took the duck back to cook. In the evening, Gu Yunduan processed the duck and handed it over to Ye Zhaozhao.

Ye Zhaozhao planned to make duck potstickers. She would stir-fry the duck in a pan to render its fat, then add star anise, scallions, ginger, dried chili peppers, cooking wine, soy sauce, and rock sugar.

After simmering for forty minutes, Ye Zhaozhao kneaded the dough and started making pancakes. The entire residential compound was filled with the aroma of meat, and the children in the family were extremely tempted.

They all came to Ye Zhaozhao's place, looking at the children's pitiful eyes.

Ye Zhaozhao then took a bowl and ladled duck meat from the pot for them.

As soon as the bowl was brought over, everyone grabbed a piece of duck meat and started eating without even bothering to pick up chopsticks. The duck meat was flavorful and went perfectly with the rice; it was so hot and satisfying.

Everyone had eaten the duck meat and was about to return the bowl to Ye Zhaozhao when they saw Gu Yunduan returning with firewood on his back. They were so frightened that they ran away without even saying thank you.

Why are the kids in the compound so afraid of you?

Ye Zhaozhao found it strange. Gu Yunduan wasn't scary at all; he was quite handsome. Chen Sufen and Wu Yingxiong brought the table, chairs, bowls, and chopsticks to eat. Hearing this, Wu Yingxiong joked.

"Sister-in-law, don't you know that Yun Duan has a nickname: the Living Yama?"

"Shut up."

Gu Yunduan didn't want to leave a bad impression on his wife. Soon after, Sun Xiuhua and Zhou Dawu arrived, and Liu Erfeng also brought Liu Guanjun.

Eight people sat together eating. Everyone took a bite of duck meat and then a bite of flatbread. No wonder the cafeteria wanted to hire Ye Zhaozhao.

The pot of duck meat and more than a dozen flatbreads were eaten clean, not even a drop of soup was left. Sun Xiuhua and the other two helped clean up before leaving.

Before leaving, she didn't forget to tell Ye Zhaozhao that tomorrow was Lin Xue and Commander Duan's wedding, so they wouldn't be going to clear the land in the morning.

Knowing that Ye Zhaozhao wouldn't be going to clear the land tomorrow, Gu Yunduan became a bit more unrestrained tonight, and Ye Zhaozhao didn't even know how she fell asleep.

The next morning, Gu Yunduan prepared breakfast and casually mentioned to Ye Zhaozhao that she could go to the village to collect cow dung, and the military region would settle the accounts at the end of the year.

"Wife, I'll bring some people to help you get it later."

"No need, the logistics department has handcarts, we can pull them ourselves."

Ye Zhaozhao thought that they didn't just bring one cartload; the two of them ate something casually in the morning, and then went to the cafeteria for a feast at noon.

Sun Xiuhua and the others had already arrived. Gu Yunduan wanted to sit with the other officers, but Ye Zhaozhao let him go and sat with Sun Xiuhua herself.

This table was full of military wives. Ye Qianxue and Ge Yuqiu also came that day, but the two of them sat in the corner and ignored each other.

Xu Pandi was with her two children, who stuffed all the candy and melon seeds on the table into their pockets. Seeing this, no one said anything.

I felt that these two children were just like Xu Pandi, always trying to take advantage of others. Today's dishes were made by Chef Xue, and Brigade Commander Duan was very generous, with most of them being meat dishes.

When Xu Pandi saw the meat, she grabbed a big piece of fatty meat and stuffed it into her mouth. The two children were not to be outdone, and the three of them ate with their mouths full of oil.

Ye Zhaozhao and Sun Xiuhua also started eating. By the end of the meal, Xu Pandi and the two children had eaten the most, and the two children smiled with satisfaction.

This was the most they had eaten. Looking at the two children's bellies, Ye Zhaozhao was worried that they would overeat and hurt themselves. Ya Ya felt a little nauseous.

“Xu Pandi, your Yaya ate too much and is about to throw up.”

"You wretched wretch, you never get to eat meat, and when you do, you throw up. You're so unlucky."

Xu Pandi cursed, but didn't do anything. She only brought the two of them here because of her husband, and she didn't care about them.

Ya Ya forced herself to stay nauseous; she couldn't vomit. This was meat! Everyone was horrified. How much meat must they be starving? The child was craving it so much.

Soon, Brigade Commander Duan brought Lin Xue to offer a toast. Lin Xue was wearing a bright red dress and small leather shoes, and she had a big smile on her face.

After exchanging some words of blessing, the toasts were finished. After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, they started talking about Commander Duan's family affairs. Commander Duan has a daughter.

His daughter works as a nurse at the military hospital. I heard that his daughter doesn't agree to let Lin Xue into the family and has made a scene at home several times, but Brigade Commander Duan still wants to marry Lin Xue.

That's why her daughter didn't come to the wedding today. Ye Zhaozhao wasn't surprised; no one could accept Lin Xue as a young stepmother.

Of course, some people said that Lin Xue was only after Brigade Commander Duan's position. She would become the brigade commander's wife. Who wouldn't be tempted? Lin Meimei listened to these words without saying a word.

The reason she introduced Brigade Commander Duan to Lin Xue was that she thought Brigade Commander Duan could protect Lin Xue, and that marrying Brigade Commander Duan would be the best choice for Lin Xue.

Of course, she had to admit that she was acting in her own best interest, which was why she arranged the connection between the two of them. It would be easier for her husband to get things done if he had a brother-in-law like Brigade Commander Duan in the military region.

After the wedding, Gu Yunduan and the others were heading back to the military region, while Ye Zhaozhao and Sun Xiuhua walked back. Taking advantage of the rare afternoon break, Ye Zhaozhao started knitting a sweater again.

With only one sleeve left to finish knitting, her sweater was almost done. After resting for an afternoon, Ye Zhaozhao and the others continued their land clearing the next day.

Finally, the entire acre of land was plowed. Ye Zhaozhao mentioned that she needed to go to the village to collect cow dung. They first went to the logistics department to borrow a cart, and the logistics department, knowing that they were going to try planting grain, lent it to them immediately.

Four people went to the village to haul cow dung. The people who fed the cows in the village were an old man with a white beard and an old woman who lived in Niupeng.

They said they came to haul manure. The old man and woman helped them shovel the manure, and Ye Zhaozhao and the others also helped. They hauled a total of four cartloads of cow manure.

Sun Xiuhua and the others returned the car. Ye Zhaozhao spread out all the cow dung. After finishing all this, she was about to go home when she saw Xu Pandi wandering around the ditch.

"Xu Pandi, what are you doing?"

"I'm waiting for the ducks."

Ye Zhaozhao wanted to say that she was like someone waiting for a rabbit to run into a tree stump; ducks aren't so easy to catch.

Xu Pandi has been waiting for several days, but she hasn't seen a duck, let alone a duck feather.

Just as she was about to give up, a duck came to the ditch. Xu Pandi was afraid that Ye Zhaozhao would share the meat with her, so she didn't ask her for help.

Get ready, then lunge forward.

The duck flew away.

Xu Pandi fell into a ditch. Ye Zhaozhao suppressed her laughter and then swaggered away.

Xu Pandi injured her foot and could only get medicine from the clinic.

Not only did she fail to catch the duck, but she also lost five yuan for medicine, which infuriated Xu Pandi.
