Chapter 30 Ask her to cook

After the dinner, Shi Tingyu felt relieved.

After the publicity of the few people who came to eat that day, Shi Tingyu's good cooking skills were well-known in the compound.

Especially the little boy Damao, when talking about Shi Tingyu with his classmates, he always called his aunt this and that, and those who didn't know him would think that she was his real aunt.

On this day, Shi Tingyu was going to take the replacement car to buy some vegetables.

The vegetable field in the yard has just sprouted, and it will take another month to eat the vegetables.

There were not many people in the car today, only two or three kittens, and Shi Tingyu was happy and free without being squeezed by others.

Just when she thought she could get to the town without dealing with people, a woman in her fifties sat down next to Shi Tingyu warmly.

She smiled and said, "Mrs. Xiao Lu, I am the mother of the instructor of the Third Battalion. I have something to ask you for help. Is that okay?"

Shi Tingyu looked at the strange woman in front of her and said calmly, "What can I do for you?"

The instructor of the Third Battalion was Lu Wenbin, and everyone liked to call him Aunt Lu.

Aunt Lu clapped her legs and said happily, "My daughter-in-law gave birth to a big fat grandson a while ago. The baby will be one month old in a week. I heard that you are good at cooking, so I want you to help me prepare a banquet so that I can treat guests."

Shi Tingyu refused without thinking.

It is one thing that she cooks delicious meals, but she does not like to prepare large banquets, and she is not good at making big pot rice.

That job is tiring and requires a lot of effort.

And if this sets a precedent, it will be a problem if everyone gets used to asking her to prepare banquets in the future.

If one day she suddenly does not want to do it and refuses, she might be criticized for saying that you agree when others ask you to, but you put on airs when we ask you to.

She does not do such things.

Cooking at home is life and fun, but hosting banquets is not so easy to handle.

Just look at the guests they had in the greenhouse a few days ago. They were busy for almost the whole day, and that was when Mrs. Zhang and Lu Weiguo helped.

"I'm sorry, Auntie. I've never cooked for a banquet before. Besides, I have to go back to work in two days. The timing is not right."

Thinking that they would meet each other frequently in the family compound, Shi Tingyu declined politely.

Auntie Lu said, "Hey, what's the big deal? When the time comes, you can take a day off and I'll give you a red envelope with two yuan."

Shi Tingyu said, "Auntie, this is not about money. I will officially start work in a few days. It doesn't make sense for me to take a day off right after I start work, don't you think?"

After being repeatedly rejected, Auntie Lu looked a little embarrassed, "Little Lu, I'm asking you this at my age, and you're still like this. Two yuan is not a small amount. Are you old enough to do that?" "A chef only makes thirty-six yuan a month, isn't that more than your daily salary?"

Shi Tingyu pursed her lips, her expression slightly cold, she said: "Auntie, I can't put my job aside to help you, and I don't do this. If you really want to hold a banquet, there are many master chefs outside, they are professionals, not better than me who has thin arms and can't even stir the pot."

Seeing her refusal so thoroughly, Auntie Lu snorted coldly and turned around.

The other young wives in the car didn't dare to say anything, their men's positions were not as good as those of these two families.

Of course, Aunt Lu knew that she could invite a chef from outside, but it was not so easy to invite a chef from outside. Not only would she have to give a big red envelope, but the chef would buy food from acquaintances and get some kickbacks. A full moon banquet would cost a lot of money.

So she thought of asking this little Lu daughter-in-law to help.

Unexpectedly, this little Lu daughter-in-law was so generous that even giving a red envelope would not work. Normally, if she asked a neighbor to help, she would not even get a red envelope.

Aunt Lu was in a bad mood and did not say a word to Shi Tingyu beside her.

The world was quiet, and Shi Tingyu's frown relaxed. It was better not to talk. She was happy to be quiet.

But she did not expect that this matter was not over yet.

On that day, Lu Weiguo came back from training and was stopped by Aunt Lu on the way.

Seeing Lu Weiguo's cold face, to be honest, Aunt Lu was a little scared.

But thinking of the money she had to spend, she still plucked up the courage to say: "Little Lu, Auntie has something to tell you."

Lu Weiguo didn't remember any intersection between him and the mother of the instructor of the third battalion, but considering that the other party was an elderly person, he didn't leave.

"What's the matter?" he asked.

Lu Weiguo's voice was low and deep, and Aunt Lu's eyes were empty, but she was a little happy in her heart.

This little Lu seemed to have a bad temper, and he looked like a man who could control his wife.

Tell Xiao Lu about this, maybe he can get that woman to help. If

a woman is disobedient, it

's because the man didn't beat her enough. Thinking of this, she straightened up and said, "Xiao Lu, our grandson will be one month old in a week, so we want to ask your wife to help with the banquet. I even gave her a red envelope of two yuan, but your wife was too tired and refused. Don't you think you should earn money that comes to your door?"

"Women can cook wherever they are, and I'm paying them."

Lu Weiguo frowned, feeling that what the other party said was getting more and more wrong. When he heard the latter part, his face darkened.

Seeing his increasingly frightening face, Aunt Lu spoke even more vigorously, "Little Lu, I'm not saying anything to you, you have to take good care of your wife, how can you be so lazy."

Hearing this, Lu Weiguo's face completely turned cold, Aunt Lu stopped calling him, and said in a deep voice, "What do you mean? My wife is not a cook, she can't do that job."

His wife is delicate, and thinking about the previous dinner, the three of them were busy all afternoon, you can imagine the workload of this full moon wine.

Aunt Lu said in disbelief, "I'm not letting her work for nothing, I'm giving her two yuan."

Lu Weiguo sneered, "It costs at least five yuan to hire someone to cook the banquet."

Aunt Lu choked.

Lu Weiguo said again: "I can't bear to let my wife cook for me, you can find someone else."

If it weren't for the fact that the other party was a military family, he didn't even want to say these words to her.

Seeing that Lu Weiguo was about to leave, Aunt Lu didn't know where she got the courage from, and stepped forward and grabbed his arm.

Lu Weiguo glanced at her coldly, and Aunt Lu subconsciously retracted her hand, but she couldn't help talking, "Xiao Lu, what you said is wrong. Our family should help each other. How can we be so clear-cut? Just let her cook for a meal, it's not a big deal." Lu

Weiguo was almost laughed out of anger, "I remember Lu Wenbin has a sister, he always says that his sister cooks and does all the housework, let your daughter-in-law "You can save two yuan if you do it."

Aunt Lu was like someone stepped on her tail, and she started to get angry. "What are you talking about? My daughter is a high school graduate and now works in the Propaganda Department of the Women

's Federation. How can she have time to do this kind of work!" Lu Wenbin's sister is called Lu Wenchan, and Lu Wenbin often talks about her. Lu Wenbin wants to spread his sister's good reputation and find a good family for her in the military region.

Otherwise, Lu Weiguo will not know about Lu Wenchan.

Looking at Aunt Lu's face, Lu Weiguo didn't want to talk to her, and just said: "Anyway, my wife is also a high school graduate, and I am enough to make money, she doesn't have time and doesn't need to do that kind of hard work."

Lu Weiguo has broad shoulders and long legs. He took a step forward, and Aunt Lu's short legs couldn't catch up. She

could only watch Lu Weiguo's back disappear around the corner.

She stamped her feet in anger, and finally left helplessly.
