Dinner took a full two hours to finish; a huge table of food was completely devoured.
Gu Yujin and Hao Gang needed to get back before lights out, so seeing that everyone had finished eating, they suggested leaving first.
"Um, wait a minute," Ye Wanying suddenly said.
Soon, Ye Wanying came out of the kitchen carrying several bags of food that had been packed in advance: "This bag is pickled chicken feet, another bag is braised duck feet, and there is a bag of dried beef. Take these back to your dorm and give them to your roommates."
There were only four people in the dormitory. Two of them had come over for dinner. Although Ye Wanying didn't know the other two male soldiers, she still felt a little uncomfortable. So she had planned ahead to save some food for the two male soldiers so that Hao Gang and the others could bring it to them when they returned.
In fact, this is how Rao's social interactions often unfold.
People nowadays are more naive, and most of them don't think that far ahead.
Hao Gang is, in name only, his only apprentice, and Gu Yujin is his uncle, so this can be considered as laying some foundation for the two of them. The rest depends on their own abilities.
Gu Yujin had never encountered anything like this before. Not only did he eat, but he also had to pack the leftovers and take them away. The rich young master felt a little embarrassed.
Hao Gang didn't have any other thoughts. Anyway, his master was always right. He took the bags from Ye Wanying and said, "Master, I understand. I'll give them to them when we get back."
"You don't have to just give them food; you can have some too." Knowing that these two young people wouldn't dare to eat freely in front of a table full of leaders, the portions prepared were generous enough that they could fill their stomachs after they got back.
Hao Gang chuckled, feeling somewhat uncomfortable at being seen through: "Master, we'll head back now."
Ye Wanying nodded: "Mm."
The others didn't stay long either. After helping to clean up and wash the dishes, Sister Bai dragged her drunken husband back home.
Gao Dan personally escorted the old political commissar and his wife back home, while Zhao Shuai helped them tidy up the heavy items like chairs and tables.
The only regret is that Political Commissar Wen was suddenly called to a meeting at the military headquarters in the afternoon and couldn't make it back.
After cleaning the entire house, Ye Wanying remembered that she had prepared a big cake for her son, which was hidden in a large pot that had never been used before.
"Instructor, don't go yet."
Zhao Shuai had already picked up the military cap and belt from the cabinet next to him: "Sister-in-law, is there anything else?" he asked.
Suddenly, Tuanzi remembered something and excitedly shouted in the room, "I know! It's cake! Birthdays are for eating birthday cake, blowing out candles, making wishes... Mommy, birthday cake! Cake!"
Looking at her son bouncing around in front of her, Ye Wanying reached out and pressed down on his head: "Okay, stop moving around. Mommy will go get you the cake, and we'll blow out the candles and make a wish in a bit, okay?"
The little dumpling was so well-behaved: "Mmm, Mommy, I won't move!"
Zhao Shuai put down his military cap and belt, sat back down on the sofa, and then asked Tuanzi suspiciously, "Do you know what a birthday cake is?"
Listening to Uncle Zhao's question, Tuanzi thought carefully: "A birthday cake is a very, very big cake, with cream on top and delicious fruit on top. It's so delicious."
Hmm, although I haven't tried it myself, just hearing my mom say it sounds delicious, it sounds really delicious.
