Jiang Yu poured another glass of water for Political Commissar Qin and Brigade Commander Zhou, with a polite smile on his face.
Brigade Commander Zhou and Political Commissar Qin looked at each other, and saw shock in each other's eyes.
"Isn't this Xingzhou's wife? Why does she look different?" Political Commissar Qin asked with some doubt.
"You are a young man, you made a mistake for a moment, but it is a great virtue to admit your mistake and correct it!" said Master Zhao at the side.
"What's going on? Weren't you still arguing about divorce last week?" Brigade Commander Zhou said.
"It's normal for a young couple to quarrel and be awkward. It's no big deal. Besides, divorce is not a glorious thing. How can you just say you're getting a divorce?" said Teacher Zhao.
Lu Xingzhou kept his eyes on Jiang Yu the whole time, so when Jiang Yu's hand was scalded by the tea in the cup, he rushed to Jiang Yu immediately.
He took Jiang Yan's hand and went to the yard to rinse with cool water. "How is it? Does it still hurt?"
Jiang Yu looked at Lu Xingzhou, who had a serious face and seemed very nervous about her, and her heart was suddenly moved.
She shook her head and said, "It doesn't hurt."
Lu Xingzhou felt distressed when he saw his fingertips being burned red.
"Okay, it's okay, you don't have to serve tea and water anymore, you are also a guest," Lu Xingzhou said.
At the kitchen door, a group of family members seemed to be in a lively mood, watching two people being intimate in the yard.
"When did Captain Lu and Jiang Yu become so close?"
"You know what, this Jiang Yu turned into a pretty good girl."
"I heard that the two of them haven't slept together yet?"
"Really? You know all about this, you wouldn't climb through the window to peek in the middle of the night, would you?"
Hahahaha...a burst of laughter!
"You said, is it because Captain Lu got divorced that the two of them didn't get together?"
"Now that Jiang Yu has become a fool, is this marriage still going to end?"
“…………”
The family members were talking quietly, but they didn't know that all their words fell into Lu Xingzhou's ears.
More than ten minutes later, the last dish was served on the table, and Wen Yao and Huo Jingqian began to invite everyone to sit down and eat.
The table is placed in the yard, which is more spacious and convenient for walking.
The main thing is that the breeze blowing through the yard in the evening brings a slight coolness, so people don't feel too hot to eat.
The menu is very rich. Wen Yao prepared eight dishes and one soup, with more meat dishes than vegetarian dishes.
Qi Fang looked at the braised pork in front of him for a long time without picking up his chopsticks.
He still vividly remembers his first experience of eating Wen Yao's cooking.
"Dusong, why don't you try it first and see how it tastes?" Qi Fang said to Dusong.
"Why should I eat first? Why don't you try it first?" Du Song gave him a glare when he heard it.
"Eat, both of you. Your sister-in-law's cooking skills have improved a lot now." Huo Jingqian walked up to the two people and poured wine, saying with a smile.
Qi Fang heard this with doubt and put a piece of meat into his mouth. This time he did not taste the salty, sweet and bitter taste.
"Well, sister-in-law's cooking skills have improved so fast, this braised pork is soft, glutinous, sweet and full of flavor."
Du Song was skeptical when he heard this, so he picked up a piece of meat and put it in his mouth. He got surprisingly unanimous positive comments from Qi Fang.
"Come, everyone, try this braised pork. It's my wife's specialty." Huo Jingqian introduced it proudly.
Everyone tasted it and praised it highly.
"It tastes really good. Yaoyao's cooking skills are amazing!" Teacher Zhao praised.
"Oh, Jing Qian, you are looking for a treasure. You are lucky to have a capable wife." Political Commissar Qin also echoed the praise.
Wen Yao smiled and thanked them. She picked up the wine glass and walked to the table where Commander Zhao was sitting. "Thank you all for visiting my humble home today. Thank you all leaders and comrades for your care for our family. I will offer you a glass of tea instead of wine!"
"Thank you all for coming. I'd like to toast you all!" Huo Jingqian said, raising his glass.
Everyone raised their cups in response.
The men drink white wine, while the women and children drink soda.
Jiang Yu looked at the wine in Wen Yao's cup and was curious about its flavor.
Before, she didn't drink alcohol because of heart problems.
Now she wanted to taste the wine and experience the feeling of being intoxicated without getting drunk.
While Wen Yao was at other tables greeting guests, she secretly poured some white wine into her glass.
She first took a sip of the wine, and a spicy taste immediately swept through her entire mouth, stimulating her taste buds.
“Ah… so spicy…”
She fanned her spicy tongue with her hand.
She couldn't help coughing, tears came out of her eyes, and she quickly picked up the soup in the bowl and drank it all.
"Jiang Yu, what's wrong with you? What did you eat that's so spicy?" Xiao Ting saw this and asked with concern.
"It's nothing, I just took a sip of wine and it was spicy." Jiang Yu looked embarrassed and said a little.
"Wine is only drunk by men, it's not a good thing, you'd better not drink it," said Ting.
Jiang Yu nodded upon hearing this.
She looked down at the wine glass, at the transparent liquid inside, and an inexplicable emotion surged in her heart.
She thought about her past, all the dreams and hopes she had, now gone to waste.
She felt that she was like the wine, spicy and bitter.
She raised her head and looked at the night view in the sky, a trace of melancholy burning in her heart.
Drinking to dispel sorrow only makes me more sorrowful, so that's how it is! Jiang Yu muttered to himself.
She picked up the wine glass and drank it all. After a while, a blush appeared on her face and she felt that everything around her began to shake.
"Hey, why is this house moving?" Jiang Yuhuang muttered softly.
Commander Zhao and Lu Xingzhou spoke in a low voice.
"Xingzhou, I think Comrade Xiao Jiang is different now. Should you reconsider this?"
Teacher Zhao said it was about Lu Xingzhou and Jiang Yan's divorce.
Lu Xingzhou turned to look at Jiang Yu, only to see that her cheeks were red and her eyes were dazed, as if she was a little drunk.
He turned to Master Zhao and said, "Master Zhao, we don't plan to leave. We are going to live a good life in the future."
"Well, that's right. I think the girl has changed a lot. It's a great help to admit one's mistakes and improve oneself!" Teacher Zhao said with a hearty smile.
"Yes, I know, Master Zhao." Lu Xingzhou nodded to show that he understood.
After three rounds of drinking, everyone was a little tipsy.
The guests enjoyed the meal very much!
After having a good meal and a good drink, and it was quite late, everyone chose not to disturb them too much.
Xiao Ting, Wang Fang, Yu Xin and other family members helped to clean up the leftovers.
Soon, the dishes were cleaned, and each of them took their own dishes, tables, chairs, benches and their drunken husband back home in the night.
Jiang Yu fell asleep on the table because he was drunk. Lu Xingzhou came to the table only after helping Huo Jingqian send away all the guests.
"Jiang Yu, how are you? Can you still walk?" Lu Xingzhou pushed Jiang Yu's shoulder and asked.
"Captain Lu, Jianjian secretly drank the wine in my glass and is now drunk. I'm afraid she can't walk back," Wen Yao said with a smile.
