Chapter 116: New Year's Eve is Coming
When he howled, the people present had different feelings.
Jiang Yingying and Xu Zhishu thought, no way, isn’t there anything delicious in what we prepared this morning?
Both of them felt a little sorry for Jiang Yang, the little pioneer. Yes, Jiang Yang always took the first bite, and he was very honest and would take a big bite at a time.
He Yan took the second bite, Jiang Chao took the third bite in disbelief, while Jiang Yingying and Xu Zhishu took a small bite and commented on the food.
He Yan's heart skipped a beat, that shouldn't be the case. He followed the steps Jiang Yingying told him exactly. When the cake came out of the oven, he smelled a sweet fragrance, but it wasn't strong, just a light one.
Seeing the little guy crying so sadly, He Yan felt a little embarrassed.
Jiang Chao couldn't describe how he felt inside, he only knew that this cake was really difficult to make. It required a lot of effort and materials, and most importantly, it was very laborious.
In short, after this morning's struggle, Jiang Chao was so devastated that he no longer had any confidence in his cooking skills.
From then on, he didn't dare to try making pastries or new dishes easily. He just focused on cooking his old dishes, without making any mistakes, and he wouldn't have to hear Jiang Yang's pig-slaughtering cries again.
But when Jiang Yang said "eat well", the expressions of the four adults changed.
Xu Zhishu made a prompt decision and took a piece for himself and Jiang Yingying. After tasting it, he found that it tasted really good.
Although it’s not as amazing as the first time I ate the cake made by Jiang Yingying, it’s also delicious. This cake is on the salty side.
But, it is delicious!
Jiang Yingying took a bite, and her eyes lit up. Mm, it’s really delicious.
She praised: "Yan, hey, Brother Yan, you are really amazing."
Jiang Yingying almost called out Yanyan's private nickname in front of everyone, and her face turned slightly red.
Hearing her address, He Yan's eyes deepened slightly. Even the edible cake he made could not move his heartstrings. His mind was full of Jiang Yingying calling him Brother Yan just now.
After Jiang Yang howled, he "strongly" wiped the tears from his face, took the cake that He Yan had prepared for him, and ate it in small bites with great care.
Jiang Chao, Jiang Chao had completely given up when he tasted He Yan's cake, which had a completely different taste from his own.
He didn't want to talk anymore. He quietly finished the portion that He Yan handed to him and sat on the chair with an autistic look on his face.
Jiang Yingying nudged Xu Zhishu with her elbow and whispered, "Sister-in-law, do you want to comfort my brother?"
Xu Zhishu moved closer and responded to her in a low voice. "It's okay. Just let him feel sad for a while. He'll be fine after dinner."
Sure enough, during lunch, Jiang Chao loudly announced at the table: he would never touch desserts again because he didn't have the talent for it.
Jiang Yingying and others expressed their deep agreement with this.
After the cake incident, Jiang Yingying and Xu Zhishu were visiting the supply and marketing cooperative when they accidentally realized that it was already the end of the year and it was time to start preparing for the New Year.
This is Jiang Yingying's first New Year here, and also the first New Year she and He Yan have spent together.
After He Yan returned to the army, he has not yet received any mission to go out. The most he can do is lead the team to participate in joint training and competitions.
The higher-ups value him because the injuries he suffered last time were so severe and scary. Although there is nothing wrong with the physical examination report, we should still be careful.
Therefore, He Yan was able to stay and spend Jiang Yingying's first New Year in the military region with her.
Jiang Chao, on the other hand, went out on another mission a few days ago.
There is only one month left until the Chinese New Year, and I don’t know if he can make it back. Because Jiang Chao was on a mission, Jiang Yingying paid for dinner for Xu Zhishu and Jiang Yang.
He Yan didn't have any objections. Sometimes, he needed to work overtime to finish those documents and got home late. He was quite grateful to see Jiang Yang and the others accompanying Jiang Yingying.
At this time, Jiang Yingying and He Yan had lived in the staff quarters for less than a month.
Jiang Yingying did not go out to work, nor did she like chatting with the aunts and sisters-in-law in the family compound, and she did not like going out either.
When going out, I would just go to the supply and marketing cooperatives and grocery stores.
Moreover, she was elusive most of the time, so Jiang Yingying lived in the family compound for almost a month and did not let the sisters-in-law in the compound meet her.
On the third day of living in the family compound, He Yan's family invited some of his comrades-in-arms to come and warm their home.
But strangely enough, most of He Yan's good comrades are single, except Wei Guoping.
But the other brothers did not bring their families with them, and Wei Guoping came alone that night.
In short, Jiang Yingying's closest and most intimate sisters-in-law in the family compound are her dear sister-in-law Xu Zhishu and Aunt He He Lingwan.
As the New Year's Eve is approaching, the lines at the supply and marketing cooperatives and grocery stores are much longer than usual. Every time I go there, they are packed with people.
In Beijing, Lin Guifang and her friends sent another big package to Jiang Yingying and her friends.
That day, He Yan came back from get off work with two sea bass in his hands.
Jiang Yingying's face showed a look of surprise, "Where did this come from?" The family hasn't eaten meat for a long time, and fish is also meat.
"The logistics department went to the fishing village to collect them. I asked them privately for two."
"Is everything going to be alright?"
"It's okay. Whenever the logistics department receives something rare, they will collect a little more and leave some for the families to buy."
"I'm glad you're okay." Jiang Yingying looked at the two lively fish and asked He Yan. "How about we finish one tonight and have three ways of eating it?"
Today, Xu Zhishu and Jiang Yang went to the staff quarters cafeteria to eat. They were the only two people having dinner.
He Yan never refuted Jiang Yingying's words.
"Okay, which one do you want to eat first? I'll scrape off the scales and everything."
The couple worked together, and Jiang Yingying made this fish into fish head and tofu soup, braised fish meat, and fried fish cubes.
Jiang Yingying filled two bowls of fish head and tofu soup, put them in a basket, and had He Yan deliver it.
It is not known whether Xu Zhishu was embarrassed to refuse the gift from He Yan, or he did not dare to refuse, but he accepted it anyway. If Jiang Yingying went to deliver it, she would be pushed back by Xu Zhishu eight times out of ten.
Since Jiang Yingying discovered this pattern, whenever she wanted to give something to Xu Zhishu and the others, she would ask He Yan to deliver it.
It wasn't that Xu Zhishu didn't refuse, it was that she didn't have time to refuse.
Every time, after she thought she was ready, the next time, He Yan would always put the things in her yard at a faster speed, then turn around and stride away.
She didn't dare to reach out to stop him, so she just accepted the thing.
That night, because of the snack of fish, Jiang Yingying ate a small bowl of rice more than usual.
