Chapter 28 Treat (Part 2)

Mrs. Zhang saw all the little actions of the two people with a smile on her face.

Ever since Lu Weiguo and Shi Tingyu got married, everyone in the family compound has been secretly feeling sorry for them, saying that it was a pity for Shi Tingyu to marry such a pretty girl.

With her looks, she could find anyone she wanted.

Now everyone says that being a soldier is good, but only military wives like them know the hardship of marrying a soldier.

Not to mention the busy training during normal times, once on a mission, let alone contacting them, they are already blessed not to be injured, and they have to worry about whether their partner's life is in danger.

Marrying a man is like marrying a fake one. Once you are on a mission and not in the camp, you have to bear all the problems yourself when you get sick, encounter difficulties, or even give birth to a child or the child gets sick.

This is the situation when they follow the army.

The families of soldiers of low rank are even worse off. If they meet a good in-law family, it's ok. But if they meet a difficult in-law family, not only do they have to take care of the house every day, but they can hardly see their husbands all year round, let alone take care of the family .

So being a military wife is glamorous on the surface, and only they themselves know how difficult it is inside.

But at this moment, she watched coldly and found that Lu Weiguo, the new daughter-in-law, did not seem to care about her man.

She was an experienced person, and the atmosphere between the two of them was not like what was rumored.

After all the ingredients were prepared, it was almost five o'clock.

Mrs. Zhang went home to get some firewood. In order to speed up, Shi Tingyu prepared a coal stove and an earthen stove to use together.

Before, there was no firewood, and one person couldn't handle it. Now, Zhang's wife is here to help light the fire, and Lu Weiguo can help, so there is no need to worry about being busy.

When the guests got off the training at six o'clock, they could smell the rich fragrance before they even walked into the small courtyard of the Lu family.

Lieutenant Li of the first battalion lit up, "We are here today. The food cooked by sister-in-law is so delicious. You don't know, I have been waiting for this day for a long time."

Zhang Jin, the commander of the second battalion, also nodded in agreement.

He and Lieutenant Li were the only two people who knew that Lu Weiguo's new wife was a good cook.

Captain Wang, who was tall and strong and came from the Northeast, couldn't help asking Captain Li, "What the hell? How do you know that my sister-in-law's cooking is delicious? Have you ever eaten it?"

Captain Li snorted with a look of longing, and then he didn't know what he thought of, and his head drooped again.

"I know it!" Captain Li recalled the experience of going back to his parents' home several times, and couldn't help sighing in his heart.

"My parents and my sister-in-law's parents work in the same research institute. My sister-in-law's parents' home is downstairs from our house. Sometimes when I go back to see my parents, I can smell the fragrance of food coming up from downstairs."

At this point, Captain Li couldn't help swallowing his saliva.

"I can eat an extra bowl of rice just with that fragrance."

Everyone knew that the wife of their battalion commander actually had such a background.

However, they were more focused on the food that Captain Li mentioned, and they were looking forward to tonight's dinner.

Because he wanted to treat everyone, Lu Weiguo opened the door in advance.

Several people went straight into the yard.

As soon as Captain Li and his men

stepped into the house, they shouted, "Captain, sister-in-law, we are here!" Lu Weiguo came out of the kitchen with a pot of crayfish and glanced at the newcomers, "You are here, why don't you hurry into the main room?"

Everyone said "oh", and Captain Li ran over to take the pot from Lu Weiguo's hand. He was captivated by the overbearing aroma of the spicy crayfish, "The dishes cooked by sister-in-law are so delicious."

At this time, several people also looked at the kitchen behind him, wanting to see what the legendary beautiful wife of the first battalion commander looked like.

In the kitchen, two people were busy. They all knew the person who was cooking in front of the stove. She was the wife of the second battalion commander Zhang Jin, and the one cooking with her back to them should be the wife of Captain Lu.

Just looking at her back, she looked different from ordinary people. They couldn't put their finger on it, but she didn't look like their wife in front of the stove.

The mist was lingering, less like fireworks, but more like a fairy.

Shi Tingyu heard the noise and turned around.

In order to make it easier to cook, she tied her hair into a bun, and her pretty face was completely exposed.

Her rosy peach eyes were clear and bright. Maybe because of cooking, her skin was pink and white. She was smiling at them, and the pear swirls at the corners of her mouth were so sweet that they touched people's hearts.

Everyone felt that the scene in front of them seemed to slow down. There was a moment of deafness, and all they saw was that the other person smiled and said something to them.

Zhang Jin and Captain Li came back to their senses first.

Zhang Jin was mentally prepared, but Captain Li had only seen her from a distance once when he went back to his parents' home.

"Sister-in-law, you've worked hard," Captain Li said.

Shi Tingyu smiled and called out, "You guys go inside and rest first, we'll be ready once this dish is cooked."

Everyone came to their senses and responded in a hurry, even the urge to eat quickly when they entered the door disappeared.

Sister Zhang saw their expressions and couldn't help but straighten her chest.

Compared to their reactions, she was much more powerful.

It's not that these people fell in love with Shi Tingyu at first sight. After all, they all knew that she was Lu Weiguo's daughter-in-law, and being invited by him for dinner meant that they had a strong relationship. But they

didn't dare to have any dirty thoughts, they were just shocked by each other's appearance. It was not

until they entered the main hall that everyone came to their senses.

The third battalion commander, Chen Qiang, was the oldest among them, and he was 38 years old this year. He patted Lu Weiguo on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Good boy, you married such a beautiful wife quietly. I was worried that you would remain single."

Lu Weiguo coughed lightly, "You guys sit down first, I'll go to the kitchen to check."

Feng Wei looked like he had seen through the other person, and said to everyone, "Old Lu is shy."

These people were familiar with each other, and no one needed to be entertained, so they sat down in a lively and noisy atmosphere.

Lu Weiguo went to the kitchen to replace Mrs. Zhang.

"Sister-in-law, go back and bring Damao over. The dishes here are almost ready. I'll just watch the fire."

Mrs. Zhang didn't say anything, she had to go back to change her clothes.

Come here to help. She is wearing the clothes she wears for housework. It’s time for dinner, so she has to tidy up a bit.

The last dish was served, and Zhang's wife and Damao also arrived.

Damao was seeing Shi Tingyu for the first time and was stunned for a moment.

This auntie is so pretty, is it she who made such delicious cakes?

Damao finally came to his senses after being slapped by Zhang's wife, and shouted with bright eyes: "Hello, auntie!"

The voice was so loud.

Feng Wei couldn't help laughing, "Good boy, you are our soldier's son."

Damao's face turned red

when he heard this. Shi Tingyu wanted to get some wine, but was stopped by Lu Weiguo, "Drinking is not allowed in the camp."

Shi Tingyu didn't know much about this, so she gave up. She asked why he didn't tell her when she forgot to buy wine.

She was also glad that there was stock at home.

This wine was brought back from her mother's house. Before the Shi family was sealed off, the wine was taken to the family compound.

Apart from Mrs. Zhang, Feng Wei is the one who knows Shi Tingyu best here.

He said, "Sister-in-law, you have been busy all day. We don't need to entertain you. Come and sit down."

Lu Weiguo looked at his wife, whose forehead was slightly sweaty due to being busy. He raised his hand to wipe it for her. As soon as he raised his hand, he felt the strong gazes around him and put his hand down unhappily.

Shi Tingyu said, "Weiguo, you entertain the guests first. I'm going to change my clothes."
