The rice dumpling wrapping competition ended with applause from the crowd.
The female soldier from before walked onto the stage again. "Comrades! Ladies and gentlemen! Our rice dumpling wrapping competition is over. Please count the number of rice dumplings you have wrapped so that we can determine today's champion."
Upon hearing this, everyone started lighting the rice dumplings they had made.
"After everyone has ordered, start counting from the first sister-in-law here." The female soldier looked at a military wife on the right and said.
"We booked twenty-three," said the military wife.
"There are twenty-seven of us." The next military wife also reported her own number.
"Twenty-four."
"Thirty-one."
"..." Everyone took turns reporting the number of dumplings they had made.
"We have thirty-nine dumplings," Tian Cuifang said with a smile. Although her husband, Wang, was not very good at making dumplings, she made them very quickly.
"It seems that Aunt Wang has won the rice dumpling wrapping competition again this time."
"It doesn't mean that Aunt Wang always wins."
"Sister-in-law Zhan and her husband also bought a lot." Everyone looked at Su Jinyue and Zhan Yihan, waiting for them to report the numbers.
"Forty-one." Su Jinyue reported the number of dumplings she had made. She actually made only a few; most of them were made by Yihan.
"That's amazing! Sister-in-law Zhan, you've surpassed Aunt Wang and the others. You're definitely the champions today."
"I thought Aunt Wang would be the champion again, but this time it's finally a different person."
"I really don't understand how there can be such an outstanding person in the world. He is so handsome, has great medical skills, and can even make rice dumplings better than us."
"That's why they say that comparison is the thief of joy." The military wives said with some envy.
Su Jinyue checked the time, walked over to He Caizhen, took the silver needle from her neck, and put it into the needle bag. "It's healed."
"Really?" He Caizhen said in surprise. When she heard her own voice, a happy smile appeared on her face. "Sister-in-law Zhan, thank you! I will never say bad things about you behind your back again." She didn't think so before, but now she knows how lucky it is to be able to speak.
"Is it just me?" Su Jinyue asked with raised eyebrows.
He Caizhen smiled embarrassedly and said, "I won't gossip about others anymore." Regardless of whether she couldn't speak this time because she had said something bad, she was scared.
Su Jinyue raised her lips and smiled, walked back to Zhan Yihan and winked at him mischievously.
A charming smile appeared on Zhan Yihan's lips, and he reached out and held Su Jinyue's hand.
"I declare that the rice dumpling wrapping competition has come to a successful conclusion. Now let us congratulate the winning team leader and his wife." The female soldiers on the stage took the lead in applauding.
Everyone present also applauded, and the scene was very lively.
After distributing some of the rice dumplings, Su Jinyue and Zhan Yihan had lunch with everyone else in the auditorium.
In the afternoon, the two of them went to visit Wu Junyu's home with some local specialties.
After knocking on the door, a middle-aged woman came forward and opened the door soon.
"You are Captain Zhan and his wife, right? Come on in." The middle-aged woman opened all the doors and let Su Jinyue and Zhan Yihan in. The commander had just given instructions that Captain Zhan and his wife would be visiting their home that afternoon.
Zhu Lanhua also walked out of the house and waited at the door. When she saw Su Jinyue and Zhan Yihan coming in, a gentle smile appeared on her face, "Xiao Zhan, Xiao Zhan's wife, you are here, cough cough cough..." She had been having a cold and cough these days, so she did not participate in the rice dumpling wrapping competition today.
"Hello, Madam Commander!" Su Jinyue and Zhan Yihan walked forward and greeted Zhu Lanhua with a smile. They had a very good first impression of her.
"Commander's wife sounds a bit awkward, ahem... If you don't mind, just call me Aunt Zhu. Let's go sit inside, ahem..." Zhu Lanhua said, leading the way. She had heard a lot about Su Jinyue and Zhan Yihan and had long admired them, but she had never had the chance to meet them. Seeing them today, they were indeed young and outstanding.
"Yeah." Su Jinyue and Zhan Yihan followed Zhu Lanhua into the house and placed the gifts in their hands on the coffee table.
"It's good that you're here. Why bring any gifts? Ahem... please sit down." Zhu Lanhua invited the two.
Su Jinyue and Zhan Yihan sat down as instructed.
"I heard from the commander that you have caught a cold these two days, so I brought some tea that is good for colds." Su Jinyue said.
"There's this kind of tea? Ahem..." Zhu Lanhua said in surprise. It was the first time she had heard that tea could cure a cold.
Su Jinyue smiled and nodded, "Aunt Zhu, you'll know the effect after drinking it. I guarantee that your cold and cough will be cured immediately."
"In that case, I'll definitely give it a try, cough cough cough..." Zhu Lanhua said with a smile. She had been feeling miserable these past few days, especially with the cough, which had caused her heart to ache.
Seeing Fang Qing coming out with tea, he said to her: "Sister Fang, please help me make this tea, cough cough cough..."
"Okay." Fang Qing poured tea for Su Jinyue and Zhan Yihan, took the tea handed over by Su Jinyue and walked into the kitchen.
"The cold is nothing serious, cough cough cough...it's just this cough that's really unbearable, cough cough cough...I've taken medicine for a few days but it hasn't gotten better." Zhu Lanhua said with a distressed look on her face.
Su Jinyue nodded, took out a pill and handed it to Zhu Lanhua, "Aunt Zhu, this medicine also has the effect of moistening the lungs and relieving coughs. You can take one first." It was uncomfortable to see her coughing all the time.
