This meal wasn't just about sitting down to eat; there was also plenty of fruit, snacks, cold noodles, flatbread, rice noodles, specialty snacks from several provinces, as well as candies and pastries.
You can queue up on both sides of the auditorium to receive it.
Sanbao and his brothers also liked to join in the fun, so they lined up to get some food and went back to their seats.
Looking at the pile of things in front of the children, Jiang Yue blinked and looked at Lu Yu.
She had been sitting here waiting, and she hadn't expected that Brother Yu would bring back so many snacks and treats with the children.
"Wife, look at the other tables."
Jiang Yue looked around and noticed that what they had on their table was the least; the other tables had several times more than what the three children had received.
"The team has had a bumper harvest of everything this year, and this New Year's Day celebration is even more abundant than before. However, things will return to normal in the future..."
Hearing Lu Yu's words, Jiang Yue smiled and nodded.
"Um."
Jiang Yue looked at the children again. Although the three children were tempted by some of the food, they were eating in moderation and didn't overeat.
So she didn't say anything more.
"Captain Lu, the battalion commander and Political Commissar Ning request your presence."
Upon hearing this, Lu Yu stood up and walked towards the battalion commander and Political Commissar Ning.
After walking for more than twenty minutes, Lu Yu returned.
The dishes on the table were indeed much more plentiful and the portions were much larger than before.
Jiang Yue overheard many people talking about it.
"This New Year's Day was truly lavish."
"These dishes are even more lavish than what we have for Chinese New Year at home."
"There are so many fruits and snacks, that's amazing."
"This time, the brigade has really gone all out."
"I heard they'll be selecting the top ten military spouses this year."
"Top Ten Military Wives? What are the rules for that competition?"
"I don't know, I just heard someone say that."
The women chatted and laughed.
Everyone was in high spirits, except for Aunt Liu, whose face looked rather grim. She had caused a scene at the department store last time, resulting in her being suspended by her company. She only managed to get through the matter after writing a self-criticism.
She only recently returned to work.
But she was still very unhappy.
Many people used to treat her with respect, but since the self-criticism incident, she's noticed that some people's attitudes towards her have changed. Furthermore, some people are gossiping behind her back, and when she goes over, they start talking about other things.
She asked several of her close female friends, and they said they hadn't heard any rumors.
Seeing Jiang Yue's family sitting there, all smiles, how could she not feel angry and jealous? Her reputation was ruined all because of Jiang Yue. Jiang Yue hadn't done anything outwardly, but she was secretly forming cliques. She was incredibly close to people like Sister Yang and Sister Qian.
No matter what happens, all the wives praise Jiang Yue. She might just be one of this year's top ten military wives.
After dinner, Lu Yu helped clean up, and Jiang Yue took the children home.
On the way back from the auditorium, Sanbao was overjoyed.
"Mom, let's come again next time, there's so much delicious food!"
Hearing her daughter's words, Jiang Yue smiled and said.
"This is only available during the Chinese New Year."
"Then I'll come visit Dad again next Chinese New Year."
"Do you want to stay with your dad, or do you want to come and eat something delicious?"
Hearing his mother's words, Sanbao giggled.
"Yes, they are."
