Xu Lei looked at his sneaky and worthless look and said, "Okay, put the things down and go out first."
"Yes, Chief." He saluted Xu Leijing, but his eyes were always fixed on Xu Manman.
But Xu Manman's mind and eyes were now completely focused on that package, so she had no time to notice these things.
Seeing Xu Manman's happy expression, Xu Lei became a little curious. He put down his pen and walked forward, "Manman, what did you send?" He also took out a pair of scissors to help her open it.
Xu Manman took the scissors but it was useless. "Let's open it when we get home. The things inside are a bit mixed up and it will be hard to take them out once it's opened. These are specialties from Hunan and Sichuan provinces that I asked my roommate to bring. I also tried to make some at home and they were delicious.
Oh, I also packed some Haishi specialties and snacks that my uncle and aunt like. I sent them before I left, but I didn't expect them to arrive just now."
"From Sichuan and Hunan Province..." Xu Lei remembered that when he was on the battlefield, there was a cook from Hunan Province. His cooking skills were really amazing. As long as he cooked, two pancakes were not enough to eat. Thinking of the scene at that time, he couldn't help swallowing his saliva.
Perhaps because he was looking forward to the delicious food, Xu Lei did not work overtime in the afternoon. As soon as the time came, he picked up the package and called his niece to get off work. He also went to buy some meat on the way. He returned home earlier than Li Fang.
Now that the materials have arrived, Xu Manman naturally wants to show off her skills.
She went to the vegetable garden with her uncle and picked a basket of vegetables. After telling him what to do with them, Xu Manman took a pair of scissors and opened the package. She first took out the vegetables she was going to cook tonight and put the rest in the kitchen.
There were only three people eating, and Xu Lei only cooked two dishes. In fact, he couldn't do much. After he prepared the dishes and was about to light the fire to start cooking, he heard movement at the door.
"Manman!"
"mom!",
The group of young men who went on the training camp have all returned.
Hmm... Could it be that the men in their family have some special abilities? Why do they all come back as soon as she starts cooking? She hasn't even started frying yet, and the food hasn't even smelled good.
Well, now that the people are back, the food prepared before is not enough. Xu Manman added a few bowls of rice to the pot and asked the brothers to finish cleaning up and prepare the food for her.
An hour later, it was finally time to eat.
The table was full again: a bowl of Hunan-style farmhouse cuisine, stir-fried pork with sour beans, stir-fried pork with green pepper and wood ear mushroom, stir-fried bacon with fried chilies, stir-fried sausage with green pepper, eggplant with perilla, stir-fried dried tofu with fermented black beans, spicy fish cubes, and the lightest dish was the seaweed and egg soup.
We have been training in the mountains these days, eating dry food every day. When we eat, we just eat it all up in no time. In addition, every dish is very delicious, so no surprise, everyone eats too much.
Even so, Xu Jianan was still holding his stomach and looking at the peppers in the dish with regret, "I didn't cook enough rice today." If he had some more rice, he could use all the peppers to mix with the rice. Just thinking about it, he could tell how delicious it would be.
Chen Feng, who was sitting next to him, nodded in agreement.
Xu Lei stared at him and said, "If you want to eat it, cook it yourself next time." Don't think he didn't see it. This little bastard grabbed the most sausages on the plate, and he only ate one piece. He didn't know how to respect the elderly and love the young at all.
Xu Jianan received his uncle's frightening gaze, shrank his neck, laughed dryly twice, and dared not speak anymore.
After dinner, while drinking tea in the living room to help digestion, Xu Lei told his brothers what Xu Manman had done recently.
"Now that you're back, don't stay idle at home. Manman goes to the military area to work every day. Jianbing, you should also take the kids with you and stay in the camp."
Xu Jianbing nodded in agreement. Except for Xu Jianjun, his younger brothers all looked dejected. They came here for vacation during the summer vacation, but why did they have to train every day? Their uncle was a devil.
"During this period of time, there must be some people who didn't understand the class. I have a lot of things to do, and Manman is a girl, so it's not convenient for her to come out. It's just that you are back, so I will set up a foreign language corner to help everyone solve their learning problems.
Um... If you don't know how, don't teach me. Come back and ask me or just ask me. Don't embarrass yourself in front of others."
When I said the first sentence, we were all nodding our heads, but when we heard the last sentence, we couldn't help but complain in our hearts. It seems that this is the key point.
The brothers had just returned from a forced march early this morning. After a full meal, they were inevitably a little sleepy. Xu Lei didn't keep them to chat for long and let them go back to bed early.
Before Xu Manman returned to her room, she went to see her brothers and sisters to make sure that they were not injured, and only then did she feel relieved.
Another benefit of their return is that it frees Xu Manman and Li Fang from housework and kitchen work.
