Chapter 108 Promotion and Dinner
"Why? The village is still being reclaimed these days, so we can't go there." She said after thinking for a while.
"I'm on vacation tomorrow. The last time I got promoted, it was Lao Zhao who treated me to a meal. This time it's my turn." Wang felt a little embarrassed. After all, she had to take part in such a situation, but Wang didn't want her to work too hard.
"Well, then we'll treat you. Let's make it for the evening. You're on vacation tomorrow, right? Let's go to the city later and get some meat from the space." We can't always eat something else.
"good."
"We call Dad, as well as Political Commissar Cao, and Commander Liu. Both aunts are here." She tilted her head and thought for a moment.
"You are very thoughtful." Indeed, these are all worthy of invitation.
On the first day, Cheng Jinghao didn't have morning training, but he still got up very early, washed all the diapers and clothes that the children had changed yesterday, and started to make breakfast. When Lin Momo woke up, the children were still sleeping.
She got up quietly and put on her clothes.
At this time, Cheng Jinghao came in holding three bottles of milk, "You haven't woken up yet?"
"No."
"You go wash up first, I'll take care of you." Cheng Jinghao put down the bottle and touched the diapers under the children's butts. It was time to change them.
When Lin Momo went to wash up, she started to change their diapers. After changing their diapers, the babies woke up and clamored for milk.
After taking care of the children, she carried them one by one to the strollers in the main room.
After Lin Momo finished washing up, she brought the prepared breakfast to the table in the main room. The two of them ate breakfast while taking care of the children.
Not long after, two aunts came over.
After packing up and handing the children over to their aunt, the two drove to the city.
"Wife, thank you for your hard work today." Cheng Jinghao turned around and said while driving.
In addition to Zhao Zhigang and others, members of the combat team will also come today, so we have to set up several tables. Originally, we didn't want to mobilize so many troops.
This was the idea of Army Commander Chen and Political Commissar Cao. Cheng Jinghao had never treated others to a meal during his promotion from a soldier to brigade commander. But since he was the captain of a combat team, he still had to treat them once.
"What's the big deal? Right, should we prepare some wine?"
"No, there are rules that prohibit drinking."
"Oh." She nodded.
After taking some meat and ribs out of the space, we went back. As for the other vegetables, they were basically available in the greenhouse at home.
But because of the long distance, it's time to cook when I get home.
Usually when both of them are at home, the aunts will go back for dinner, and today is no exception.
Because we are going to prepare a banquet next time, we will take some out of the space and have a simple meal.
After dinner, Cheng Jinghao went to ask the canteen to borrow some tables and chairs and put them in the main room and yard.
After Lin Momo coaxed the children to sleep. I went to the kitchen to get busy.
"What dishes are you going to cook?" asked.
"Braised pork, sweet and sour spare ribs, braised beef in soy sauce, carrot and mutton soup, braised pork bones, fried eggplant boxes, cold cucumber salad, scrambled eggs with green peppers, hot and sour shredded potatoes, stir-fried vegetables, and the staple food will be coarse grain steamed buns." She counted the ten dishes on her fingers.
"Is it too delicious?" He looked at her. This kind of food was the best in this country. Not many families would be willing to serve such good dishes when entertaining guests.
"This is what I think. Everyone knows that we have good conditions, and now I can make money. If the conditions are too bad, would it be too bad?" After all, our family has money and tickets, which is something everyone in the family compound knows.
Moreover, the beef, mutton, and spareribs were bought and sold by the military region. Everyone knows that we have them at home, and the vegetables are also grown in the greenhouse.
"You're right." Cheng Jinghao nodded. It's not good for their family to be too shabby.
"I'm the one who invited you here, so of course I have to eat well." She said with a smile.
"My wife is right. I'm the one who invited you anyway." Cheng Jinghao said with a smile, "You go and have a rest first. I'll prepare the meat first. You'll be responsible for holding the spatula, and I'll do the rest."
The main thing is that I'm afraid that if the quantity is too much, I won't be able to control the seasoning, otherwise I don't want to tire my wife.
"Okay, then you go ahead and do your work. I'll go and accompany the child first." She was worried that the child would cry in the room alone and we wouldn't be able to hear him because of the noise here.
Knowing that our family was going to have a dinner today, Zhou Weihong and Aunt Wu came early.
As soon as they arrived, Lin Momo went to work in the kitchen. Zhou Weihong was going to help, but as soon as she reached the kitchen door, she saw that the two children cooperated very well, so she smiled and went out.
“The minced meat in the eggplant box should be 60% lean and 40% fat.” While Lin Momo was making braised pork ribs, she instructed Cheng Jinghao who was supposed to chop the meat.
"receive."
The smell of mutton soup was already wafting out of the other pot. She scooped out a bowl of it, which still had a lot of mutton in it, without the carrots yet.
"I'll give this bowl to Sister Li He first."
Because we are inviting a combat team today, all family members will not come.
"Be careful not to get burned." Because Zhao Zhigang was not at home, Cheng Jinghao couldn't go over.
"I know."
She knocked on the door of the courtyard next door. "I knew it was you." Li He said with a smile.
"It's for the children, you can't refuse it." Lin Momo stopped her from saying anything.
"I won't refuse. The fragrance is wafting over here. I can tell it was you who did it." Li He took it with a smile.
"Take this." She took the bowl with one hand, stuffed the thing hidden behind her into Lin Momo's arms, and quickly closed the gate.
"Eh~" She held the thing wrapped in cloth in her hand and stared blankly at the closed gate.
He touched it and found a cigarette. He chuckled and turned back.
Taking advantage of the opportunity to enter the courtyard, she put the cigarette into her space, went straight back to the kitchen, whispered to Cheng Jinghao, and continued to work.
There were three tables for dinner, one in the main room and two in the yard.
Fearing the cold in the yard, Lin Momo suggested taking out the coal stove, but the soldiers said no, saying that such a low temperature was nothing for them.
She looked at Cheng Jinghao, and the answer she got was, "No, this is nothing to you."
"Aunt Zhou, Aunt Wu, you should go and have dinner too." After settling everything outside, Lin Momo went to the west room.
"No, Momo, let's just eat here at the table on the kang. I don't like eating with those grown men." Aunt Wu said.
"Yes, we can just eat together in this room, it's quiet." Zhou Weihong also agreed.
The baby carriage was pushed into the west room, where the children were sleeping soundly.
"Then I'll go get some vegetables." Lin Momo heard them say that but didn't force them.
The three of them worked together to prepare the meal. She cooked a lot, so there was quite a bit of food left over.
When they came out, Commander Chen and the others were praising Lin Momo's cooking skills.
The three of them brought the food to the table on the kang and ate together.
"Is this steamed bun made of highland barley and white flour?" Aunt Wu took a bite of the steamed bun and found that it tasted very good, better than the ones she made herself.
