"I'll make you another set of pajamas to wear at night," Wen Yao said with a smile.
"Pyjamas? Wouldn't a vest be enough?" Huo Jingqian asked with some confusion.
"Of course not! How can you be so casual?" Wen Yao said angrily: "You have to be comfortable when you sleep. A suitable set of pajamas will make you feel more relaxed."
Huo Jingqian couldn't help but feel a warm current in his heart when he heard Wen Yao's words.
He knew that his young wife truly cared about him and hoped that he could live a better life.
So he smiled and nodded, indicating that he accepted her suggestion.
Wen Yao smiled happily when she saw Huo Jingqian agreed.
She was carefully selecting some soft and comfortable fabrics at the fabric stall today, which would be perfect for making pajamas.
She imagined what Huo Jingqian would look like wearing the pajamas she made herself, and her heart was filled with anticipation and happiness.
After taking the measurements, Wen Yao started to cut the fabric. She wasn't very skilled, but she was not in a hurry. She could take her time with the work.
At noon, Huo Jingqian brought food from the cafeteria, and the two of them ate some casually.
Because Wen Yao didn't cook lunch, Jiang Yu had to ask Lu Xingzhou to go to the cafeteria to get food.
Lu Xingzhou came back quickly with the lunch box.
He opened the lunch box and placed it on the dining table, then sat opposite Jiang Yu.
Jiang Yu looked at the food in the lunch box: cabbage, tofu, and braised eggplant. It looked good.
Jiang Yu picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of braised eggplant, put it in his mouth, and tasted it carefully.
She felt that the eggplant was not very tasty and had a dull texture.
She couldn't help but think of the time when her mother was alive. She used to cook this dish often. It tasted the same as it does now.
Jiang Yu picked up another piece of tofu and put it in his mouth. Just as he looked up at Lu Xingzhou opposite him, he found that he was looking at him quietly, with an indescribable light in his eyes.
Jiang Yu's face turned slightly red, and he lowered his head. "What are you looking at?"
After she finished speaking, she touched the corners of her mouth to see if there were any rice grains on them.
“No problem,” Lu Xingzhou shook his head, picked up the bowl and started eating.
The atmosphere at the dinner table began to fall into silence, and Jiang Yu actually didn't like this atmosphere very much.
She looked up at the handsome man opposite her and couldn't help asking, "Well, are you jealous today?"
Lu Xingzhou snorted loudly when he heard this, and then patted his chest and coughed a few times.
He raised his head and stared at Jiang Yu with wide eyes, a look of surprise on his face.
"Ahem...what did you say? How could I be jealous?" Lu Xingzhou tried to hide his embarrassment, but there was still a hint of unnaturalness in his voice.
Jiang Yu smiled. She thought Lu Xingzhou looked really cute.
She put down the chopsticks in her hand, walked over to Lu Xingzhou, and patted him gently on the back.
"Okay, stop pretending. You must be unhappy when you see others being nice to you. I know what you are thinking. In fact, I just want to tease you." Jiang Yu said with a smile, a mischievous light in his eyes.
Lu Xingzhou had a feeling as if he was being spied on, which made him very embarrassed.
After a long while, he gently grasped Jiang Yu's hand, pulled her in front of him, and looked at her tenderly.
"Okay, I admit that I'm a little jealous. I don't want to see you getting too close to others." Lu Xingzhou said seriously.
Jiang Yu was secretly delighted when she heard what Lu Xingzhou said. It seemed like this guy didn't have no feelings for her at all!
"Why, is it because she is your wife in name only that you think your belongings should not be coveted by others?"
Jiang Yu gently pulled his hand back, returned to sit opposite him, and said.
Lu Xingzhou was stunned when he heard this. To be honest, he didn't really think so much about it.
He just felt uncomfortable when he saw other people's kindness, but he never considered why he felt uncomfortable.
"B…"
"Okay, let's eat. If I don't ask, don't say anything," Jiang Yu interrupted him.
Looking at the other person's expression, you can tell that she is just being sentimental.
After Jiang Yu quickly finished his meal, he returned to his room and closed the door.
Lu Xingzhou looked at the closed door, thoughtfully.
In the afternoon, Huo Jingqian went to the troops, and Wen Yao began to prepare the ingredients.
Huo Jingqian was probably one of them. He wanted to invite several comrades and leaders to dinner, plus their families, so he would have to prepare food for at least three tables.
Huo Jingqian originally wanted to stay to help, but was rejected by Wen Yao because she had already informed Fan Ting and the others that with their help, it would be none of the man's business.
Sure enough, after a while, Aunt Zhao, Fan Ting, Wang Fang and others pushed open the gate and walked in talking and laughing.
Wen Yao hurried to the door to greet them, "Auntie, sisters-in-law, come in, come in and have some tea."
"Yaoyao, we are here to help you, not to drink tea," said Aunt Zhao with a smile.
"There's no rush. It's still early. We can have some tea and help in time," Wen Yao said. After she finished speaking, she turned around and prepared to go into the house to pour tea.
"I told you to stop working. We're not thirsty now. Hurry up and bring the ingredients here. We'll choose for you and clean them up."
Fan Ting hurriedly grabbed Wen Yao's arm and said with a smile.
"Yes, we can drink tea at home, so don't bother," Wang Fang also echoed.
Wen Yao had no choice but to nod in agreement and brought all the ingredients from the kitchen.
A few small stools were brought in from the house, and everyone sat in the yard and began to divide the work.
"Wen Yao, how many tables are you going to have tonight? And how many ingredients are you going to prepare?" Wang Yan asked while processing the fish in her hands.
"Table three," Wen Yao replied.
"My goodness, your Captain Huo is so popular that you have to invite three tables for our dinner," said Wang Yan.
"That's because you think highly of me and don't mind my simple life," Wen Yao said modestly.
"Don't say that. Look at all the chickens, ducks and fish you have here. This is not simple food. Even the leaders' families don't entertain guests with such a rich feast!"
As they were talking, the gate was pushed open and Mrs. Zhuang and several other military wives walked in.
"Wen Yao, you guys are busy, come and give us a hand," Aunt Zhuang said as they walked.
A strange military wife who looked about 20 years old took Wen Yao's hand before walking in and said, "My name is Yu Xin. I'm from Captain Xiao's family. I just came back from my parents' home today, so you haven't seen me before."
"My name is Wen Yao, and from now on you can just call me Yaoyao," Wen Yao said with a smile.
Wen Yao knew the other military wives, so after a few pleasantries, everyone started to find work to do.
Everyone was working and chatting in the yard.
Some washed vegetables, some cooked vegetables, and some brought tables, chairs, benches, bowls, chopsticks and dishes from their homes.
It was a scene of bustling activity.
Wen Yao looked at everyone with gratitude, feeling warm in her heart.
She knew that without everyone's help, she would not be able to handle the work alone.
