Chapter 227 Deliberately embarrassing the young wife in public
"Commander, all the dishes we bought have been cooked. We can cook the same dishes again..." Just when the cooks were collectively stunned and worried, Squad Leader Wang, who was proud of his rich work experience, stepped forward to explain.
Commander Duan: "Who told you to talk so much?"
Squad leader Wang of the kitchen squad and the other officers who had just taken their seats fell silent.
"What are you still standing there for? Go and cook." Commander Duan turned around and gave his young wife a displeased look. Seeing that she looked unhappy and as if she wanted to beat someone up, he was very satisfied with the result.
Wang Ziru looked at him coldly: "I wonder what kind of food Commander Duan likes? Spicy or not spicy?"
"My throat has been uncomfortable recently and I can't eat spicy food." Commander Duan waved his hand.
The officials who were sitting at the same table with Commander Duan were all feeling miserable.
Inside the enamel plate, the tomatoes sprinkled with sugar looked so delicious. There was also a whole pork elbow on the plate. It was so delicious when I ate it...
Commander Duan spoke, specifically saying that the dishes were not to his taste and that they were not allowed to pick up their chopsticks. The officers who had just picked up their chopsticks and were ready to eat a big meal all sat upright.
After watching Wang Ziru turn around dejectedly and go back to the kitchen, she started preparing food for Commander Duan again.
"Han Suijing! What kind of meeting will be held at the regiment headquarters tomorrow morning?"
Han Suijing was still secretly wondering how he had offended his boss. He was obviously deliberately making things difficult for Wang Ziru tonight. He refused to eat the huge table of food in front of him and insisted that she make a new one.
"Routine meeting. What instructions does the commander have?"
"Tomorrow morning's meeting has been moved forward to now. You can try these dishes first before the meeting!" Commander Duan deliberately set a trap for Han Suijing and let him taste all the dishes on the table.
Han Suijing tasted every dish and found that not only was the saltiness just right, but it also had the taste of his hometown that he hadn't had for a long time.
After tasting a round of dishes, he felt his stomach was filled up.
Commander Duan deliberately asked, "How does it taste? You, my fellow countryman, clearly saw that I can't eat spicy food, but you still made some spicy dishes for me."
Han Suijing: "The saltiness of each dish is just right."
Commander Duan was stunned and said unhappily, "Sure enough, the dish is made according to your taste."
Everyone else was silent, not daring to make a sound.
"Meeting!"
Commander Duan turned on his overbearing mode and deliberately made things difficult for the young wife in public.
He wanted to see what Han Suijing's reaction would be. As for Wang Ziru's nominal husband Zhai Ximo, he didn't even glance at him.
Wang Ziru returned to the kitchen, wondering what other dishes she could make.
The cooks saw that Commander Duan seemed to be angry, and they were trembling with fear, but in their hearts they couldn't help but curse Commander Duan for being unreasonable.
"I made two dishes again, what else can I make?"
Suddenly, Wang Ziru remembered that Commander Duan said he had been having throat discomfort recently. It just so happened that there were some Chinese medicines at home that he brought back from Baiteng Town last time to treat throat, headaches and fever.
By chance, she saw two pear trees planted at the backyard of the kitchen, with fist-sized pears hanging densely on the trees.
You can stew a small pear soup for the commander.
Wang Ziru realized that the commander was deliberately making things difficult for her, and asking her to cook again was just a cover.
Having made up her mind, she lifted her apron and went out to tell Commander Duan her idea. "But the herbs are still at home. I have to go back and get them."
"I think you want to run away?" Commander Duan was also a little surprised that his young wife could counter his move so quickly. He raised his chin slightly and ordered Zhai Ximo to go home quickly to get the herbs.
Zhai Ximo quickly got up and went back to the courtyard to get the bag of herbs.
After getting the herbs, Wang Ziru asked squad leader Wang to go to the backyard and pick three green-skinned pears.
Rinse with clean water, peel the pears, cut the pears in half, remove the cores, put them into a ceramic pot, add Sichuan Fritillary Bulbs and Licorice, a little brown sugar, add water and simmer the pear soup over medium heat.
Then I soaked a wild mushroom, diced it, and also diced the carrots and lean meat. I scooped a bowl of rice and fried a plate of Yangzhou fried rice.
Wang Ziru knew very well that this job would not be easy tonight.
We must resolve this issue quickly.
When she carefully brought a plate of delicious Yangzhou fried rice to Commander Duan, she said, "Commander, I fried the rice with lard, please try it."
"Didn't you say there was pear soup?" Commander Duan was already very hungry. He looked at his young wife carefully placing the pork fat fried rice in front of him and asked with a raised eyebrow.
"I'll serve it to you right away."
Wang Ziru moved quickly and quickly brought out two bowls of pear soup on a tray.
Commander Duan looked at the bowl of clear pear soup in front of Han Suijing and asked in a bad tone, "Did he want to drink pear soup? Why did you give him another bowl?"
"I stewed three pears and there are two or three bowls of soup. Commander, you can't finish it all by yourself, so it would be a waste if there are leftovers."
Commander Duan wanted to roll his eyes right there, can't he even drink a few bowls of soup? !
I took a small spoon and scooped a mouthful of pear soup into my mouth. The soup had the sweetness of pear, a light taste of medicinal herbs, and was mellow and nourishing.
She was even more jealous of that brat Han Suijing and wished she could hide her young wife so that no one would discover how capable and thoughtful she was.
The officers sitting at Commander Duan's table couldn't help but secretly marvel when they saw Wang Ziru prepare a plate of Yangzhou fried rice so quickly.
Inside the cafeteria, the third group of soldiers who came in to eat ate quietly, listening to the leader holding a meeting in front of the cadres of the regiment.
The officials at the two tables could smell the delicious food on the table in front of them, but they had to listen nervously to the meeting of their leaders. Several officials were called up to answer questions in public.
Only Commander Duan swallowed a plate of Yangzhou fried rice like a whirlwind.
After finishing a bowl of pear soup, he still felt it was not enough, so he handed the bowl to Wang Ziru, "Give me another bowl. Remember, make this flavor for me next time."
Wang Ziru responded with a hypocritical attitude, but in her heart she wished she could drag the ancestor of the Duan family out of the coffin.
Teach a lesson to the most lazy and naughty grandson of the Duan family.
Inadvertently, Teacher Wen saw the praises on the faces of the officials at the same table and guessed that they were also praising Wang Ziru in their hearts for her cooking skills and for being able to cook so many delicious dishes.
The teacher smiled inexplicably, thinking, "What's the point of being able to cook a few dishes? My daughter can dance and sing, and when she comes down from Kunqu District to perform for the troops, she will be a real surprise."
Here, Commander Duan finished his fried rice and ate all the food on the table with his chopsticks. He was almost two-thirds full.
His narrow eyes looked at Zhai Ximo who was sitting with his back to him, and the stern aura of a commander was immediately revealed, "Deputy Colonel Zhai! Stand up and report, what were you doing on the night when the troops showed the third movie?"
Everyone was stunned and looked at Zhai Ximo in unison.
Zhai Ximo's heart skipped a beat, and a strong sense of crisis emerged in his heart.
Being called unexpectedly, he did not dare to hesitate for a moment, and quickly stood up from the stool and walked to the aisle next to the commander's seat and stood still, "Reporting to the commander, I'm watching a movie in the playground."
Wang Ziru stood next to Commander Duan, ready to serve him at any time.
Hearing this, she was shocked. Did the commander want to expose in public the fact that Zhai Ximo and Wen Yiting had a tryst in the guesthouse?
Even Han Suijing's expression darkened and his sharp brows furrowed. They were still investigating the matter between Zhai Ximo and Wen Yiting. How could it be exposed now?
Based on his understanding of his hot-tempered boss, he is not such a stupid man.
Commander Duan slowly stood up and walked over, his eyes cold, "Who did you sit with that night?"
"And, and some comrades, I don't remember their names."
"How old are you? Your memory is so bad that you can't even remember who you sat with to watch a movie that night?" Commander Duan curled his thin lips slightly, his face gloomy and terrifying.
Zhai Ximo quickly glanced at his wife, his mind full of doubts. Did Wang Ziru want to expose him in front of so many comrades in the cafeteria?
"What was the name of the third movie? What was the story?" Commander Duan lit a cigarette and blew out smoke rings. "On the night when the troops showed the third movie, you didn't watch the movie on the playground at all. Am I right?"
Zhai Ximo couldn't answer and his handsome face turned slightly red, because he was angry with his wife.
The officials at the two tables vaguely understood Commander Duan's intention of forcing Deputy Commander Zhai to report his whereabouts in public.
These cadres all live in the family compound, and naturally they have heard from the women at home in the past few days that the college student from the Wen family has secretly made an appointment with Deputy Headmaster Zhai to meet at the guesthouse.
Just when everyone thought that Deputy Colonel Zhai was finished, Zhai Ximo said in a trembling voice: "My wife was sick that day, and I heard that she was sent to the town for treatment, so I took a leave of absence at noon and went to the town to pick her up after get off work in the evening."
"Swish."
Commander Duan folded his arms, smoked a cigarette, and glanced at his young wife.
"The town's health center closed long ago! In addition, your wife did not go to the town to see a doctor that day, but went to the county hospital to get an IV drip. At the last minute, before it was even dark, she had already returned to the army."
After a pause, Commander Duan stared at Zhai Ximo with an ambiguous smile on his face, "Who are you going to pick up in town?"
Zhai Ximo was speechless when asked, but he still stood there with his back straight, glancing at his wife from time to time.
"That night, I did ask for leave to go to town to pick up my wife, but when I arrived in town, I found that she might have gone home. You can check the entry and exit list of the office."
"Song Yan! Go and ask the quartermaster to come over and report which car drove out that night."
As a security guard assigned to Han Suijing, Song Jian could have meals with his superiors, but that night was a gathering of cadres, so he could only sit at an ordinary table next door.
Song Jian was enjoying the show when he was called by the commander. He immediately dropped his bowl and chopsticks and ran out.
A moment later, the quartermaster rushed to the cafeteria with the list and the drivers for that night, reporting to Commander Duan on the vehicles coming in and out that night.
"That night, it was you who drove Deputy Colonel Zhai to the town to pick someone up?"
Facing the question from the most powerful man in Yun Province, the driver, Warrior Biao Biao, stood straight beside Zhai Ximo and said in a firm voice: "Reporting to the commander, I did drive Deputy Commander Zhai to the town that night."
"Who else was in the car when we came back?"
"There was no one else. Deputy Commander Zhai didn't pick up his wife, so we came back."
"You're lying! Do you want me to call the sentry that night to tell you where I was when you returned to the unit?"
Suddenly, the young driver's face turned pale. He didn't know whether the commander had lied to him or said that they were seen by others when they came back, so they reported them behind their backs.
On that day, Deputy Commander Zhai went to see him specifically and asked him to drive to the town to pick someone up.
But when I got to town, I realized...
"Which of you two will confess first?"
The young driver slowly glared at Commander Uedan, his dark and cold eyes filled with rage.
Commander Duan glared at the two soldiers who colluded with each other, with a dangerous aura emanating from his body. "Why? You don't dare to confess, or do you think that I can't find out if you are covering up for each other?"
"That night, when your car came back, I was sitting on the sentry post. Do you think that with my big eyes I couldn't see clearly who got off the car?"
Suddenly, all the officers' eyes turned to Wen Yuan.
Wen Yuan didn't know that his daughter Wen Yiting and Zhai Ximo had met privately at the guesthouse.
A look of confusion.
Han Suijing thought Commander Duan was going to lose his temper and expose the matter on the spot.
"Ouch... it hurts so much." Wang Ziru was already extremely anxious, and seeing that the situation was getting closer to the truth, she screamed in pain at the right time.
Han Suijing heard the sound and turned around to see her with a painful face, one hand on the wall and her palm tightly covering her stomach. Without thinking too much, he stood up and went over to stop her, "How are you? Do you have a stomachache?"
