After Gu Yunduan told her, Ye Zhaozhao realized that he had lent all his monthly allowance to his comrades.
"Honey, they said they'll pay me back once they receive the allowance."
Ye Zhaozhao was surprised by this and put the ten yuan back into his hand.
"Why would I be angry if I lent it to a comrade? Am I such a petty person?"
Seeing that Ye Zhaozhao wasn't really angry, Gu Yunduan breathed a sigh of relief and quickly hugged her.
"Wife, you're not stingy."
Ye Zhaozhao was kept up until midnight by Gu Yunduan and didn't fall asleep until nine o'clock in the morning, just as Gu Yunduan returned with food.
"Honey, you eat, I'm going to training."
Ye Zhaozhao thought Gu Yunduan was incredibly strong; he was so tired at night but still full of energy during the day.
Compared to him, I feel like a piece of trash.
Ye Zhaozhao quickly finished her meal and was about to go out to find Sun Xiuhua.
She opened the door and found a row of children standing there; she knew these children all came from the family compound.
No one else could come in, and when the children saw Ye Zhaozhao, they greeted her politely.
"Auntie, are Tuantuan and Yuanyuan there?"
It seemed they had come to play with Tuantuan and Yuanyuan. Ye Zhaozhao shook her head. These five children had gone off somewhere again and disappeared early in the morning.
"They're at my house, you can come to my house."
Just then, Sun Xiuhua came over. As soon as the children heard this, they immediately went to her house. Sun Xiuhua wanted to invite Ye Zhaozhao to go to Zhu Cui's house.
Ye Zhaozhao picked some vegetables from the garden and brought them over, while Sun Xiuhua also took a piece of cured meat. Zhu Cui quickly welcomed the two of them inside.
"My two sisters-in-law, it's just in time that you've arrived. I was just about to go and look for you."
What's up?
Ye Zhaozhao and Sun Xiuhua sat down, and Zhu Cui poured them a glass of sugar water.
Then she mentioned that she had just moved in, and her husband wanted to treat everyone to a meal.
Zhu Cui thought of asking Ye Zhaozhao and Sun Xiuhua for help, and the two agreed.
Cooking a meal isn't a big deal, so Zhu Cui decided to invite everyone to dinner tomorrow night.
She can go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy ingredients tomorrow morning. She doesn't need to buy vegetables and meat, as Ye Zhaozhao and Sun Xiuhua brought them. The three of them are chatting.
Tuan Tuan and Yuan Yuan have arrived.
"Mom, you should go back and check on things. A lot of aunties have come to our house."
Ye Zhaozhao had no choice but to get up and go back, and Sun Xiuhua, wanting to see what was going on, followed her.
Six women came in total, all from the family compound, judging from their appearance.
Ye Zhaozhao knew they wanted to see her. When they saw her, the group placed a small sack of things in front of her and said something to her somewhat embarrassedly.
"Comrade Ye, we've come to ask you how you made those cookies for Tuantuan and Yuanyuan?"
They came to see Ye Zhaozhao today because their children were so eager to eat her food.
They tried to do it but failed each time, so they decided to bring the items back.
"Sisters, I'll write down how to do it for you."
"good."
Ye Zhaozhao went inside to write down the steps for making cookies, and everyone put their things in the yard.
Then I couldn't help but admire how beautifully Ye Zhaozhao had taken care of the courtyard.
After Ye Zhaozhao finished writing, she handed the papers to everyone and said...
"If there's anything you don't understand, come back and ask me again."
"good."
They had never met Ye Zhaozhao before and thought she was very aloof, but they didn't expect her to be so approachable.
Ye Zhaozhao saw what they had brought and wanted them to take it back.
As a result, one or two of them ran faster than anyone else, and Sun Xiuhua also told her.
"These military wives are all very easy to get along with."
Ye Zhaozhao nodded, then turned to look at Tuantuan and Yuanyuan, who lowered their heads upon seeing this.
They didn't intentionally go out to show off the cookies.
These friends were so hungry that they had already shared it with them.
Ye Zhaozhao now understood why so many children were happy to play with the two of them.
Who wouldn't be happy to have fun and eat delicious food? Ye Zhaozhao didn't mention the two of them, but went to Sun Xiuhua's house to pick up the triplets.
The military wives gave her chestnuts. Sun Xiuhua had told her that there were chestnut trees on the mountain, but Ye Zhaozhao had been busy and hadn't gone up the mountain.
"Mom, what is this?"
"These are chestnuts, also called Chinese chestnuts. I'll cook something delicious for you."
Ye Zhaozhao told them to play by themselves and went into the kitchen to get busy. First, she washed the chestnuts with clean water, cut them in half with a knife, and put them in a pot.
Pour in cooking oil and sugar, stir-fry evenly, add water, cover and simmer, then reduce the sauce over high heat until thickened. The sugar-roasted chestnuts are ready.
The aroma of chestnuts filled the courtyard, and all five children rushed into the kitchen. Ye Zhaozhao ladled out chestnuts and let them cool before eating.
"Be careful, it's hot. Eat it later."
Yuanyuan looked at the sugar on the chestnut and couldn't resist poking it with a finger.
Then I quickly put my finger in my mouth. It tasted so sweet, and I happily closed my eyes.
Seeing this, the other four children followed her example, and Ye Zhaozhao steamed another pot of white rice.
When the meal was ready, Gu Yunduan returned. As soon as he entered the door, he smelled the delicious aroma.
"Honey, what did you make that smells so good?"
Ye Zhaozhao then told Gu Yunduan about the arrival of the military wives that afternoon.
Dinner was ready, and the family sat down at the table to eat. The roasted chestnuts were especially delicious.
Soft, sticky, and sweet, the children ate them one after another. Gu Yunduan peeled them for Ye Zhaozhao and put them in her bowl.
I told her about Zhu Cui's family hosting a dinner party.
"I understand. My wife and I will go help tomorrow."
"Honey, Mom and Dad called today and said they want the kids to stay at our house for a few days."
Ye Zhaozhao thought that National Day was coming soon, and the National Day holiday was seven days long, so she asked the children if they wanted to go. The children's eyes lit up.
