A battalion commander this young?!
Their future is limitless.
Old Feng and Cai Qingwen were both a little surprised, but considering that this guy had been seriously wounded on the border, it was certain that he had earned the position of battalion commander without any exaggeration.
“Gong Ling, we have great respect for you.”
"Because of your hard work and perseverance, we can now live and work in peace and contentment. Thank you, Ling."
Let's not keep quiet about it, let's not keep quiet about it. Lao Feng and Cai Qingwen still have great respect for soldiers like Ling Xiaohe. They often face danger, and such people do things in an extraordinary way.
Su Huazhu's expression was also one of admiration, and she focused her gaze on Ling Xiaohe much more often.
“Gong Ling, Uncle Feng and Uncle Cai are both right, you are the cutest people.”
Su Ze also admired people like Ling Xiaohe who guarded the country's borders, unlike his younger brother who stayed in the rear and faced little danger.
“This is what we should do, and it is what we should do.”
Ling Xiaohe was embarrassed by the sudden praise. He only wanted to show off in front of Su Huazhu, but he didn't expect them to look at him with such admiration, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.
"Uncle Feng, Uncle Cai, brother, you and Comrade Ling chat first, we'll go make lunch. Comrade Ling can stay for lunch, my parents and brother will be back in the afternoon."
Su Huazhu found it quite amusing to see the man blush suddenly after being praised, and instantly felt a good impression of this comrade-in-arms. Since he was a guest, she naturally invited him to stay for dinner.
"Yes, yes, they're going to make lots of delicious food. Ling, you're in for a treat."
"That's right, it's better to be lucky than lucky. It's alright that Ge Feng isn't here, let's have a good meal together."
Old Feng and Cai Qingwen were in high spirits and invited Ling Xiaohe to stay for dinner. These two couldn't have been more comfortable living in the courtyard.
"Uncles, Ling, how about we have hot pot for lunch?! Lamb hot pot."
Su Ze had just had hot pot last night and hadn't had enough, so she immediately suggested it.
When it's cold, hot pot is the most comforting thing.
"Then I'll go prepare."
Su Huazhu also felt that eating hot pot cold was better, because the food wouldn't get cold so quickly, and her stomach would feel more comfortable eating something hot.
Ling Xiaohe didn't refuse, mainly because he didn't want to refuse either, and didn't want to go back like this.
If I hadn't suddenly met the girl I'm attracted to, I would have left right after putting my things down and wouldn't have invited you to stay for dinner.
The kitchen was bustling with activity as Zhou Wanwan, Cai Min, and Zhou Meihua were frying meat and braised pork belly, as well as cooking fish.
"Auntie, sister-in-law, Sister Min, my brother's comrade-in-arms is coming to our house. The uncles and my eldest brother said we'll have hot pot for lunch. I'm going to stew some mutton and chicken to make two hot pot bases."
Su Huazhu informed them that guests had arrived at their home; otherwise, they wouldn't have known about it while they were in the kitchen.
"Huazhu, then lunch is yours."
"We're going to have something delicious for lunch again."
"The hot pot is delicious."
Zhou Meiling, Zhou Wanwan, and Cai Min also couldn't resist the delicious hot pot; the meal they had last night completely won them over.
Su Huazhu immediately took a large piece of mutton, chopped it into pieces, blanched it in water, and then added water, ginger, red dates, and goji berries to stew it on the stove.
Next, take a large, fat chicken, gut it, chop it into pieces, wash another large casserole dish, and put the chicken pieces, ginger, red dates, goji berries, and codonopsis into it, then place it on another stove.
Both stoves can be turned on at the same time. When eating, the stoves are also carried into the main room together so that people can gather around the stove and eat from the pot.
Besides lamb and chicken, she also chopped potatoes, radishes, winter melon, yam, tofu, and fish pieces. She then soaked mushrooms, thawed shrimp, and glass noodles, adding meat and fish to make this hot pot incredibly abundant.
Next, it's time to dip it in various sauces: crushed peanuts, sesame seeds, scallions, cilantro, soy sauce, vinegar, sesame oil and peanut oil, chili, minced garlic, fermented bean curd, and 28-spice powder.
When the mutton was halfway cooked, Su Huazhu first added potatoes, and then a while later added radishes. Both of these ingredients need to be cooked thoroughly to taste good.
The staple foods are rice and steamed buns. There are so many of us, from the south to the north, and we eat both kinds of staple foods.
While Su Huazhu was busy in the kitchen, Ling Xiaohe was also secretly trying to get information out of Su's older brother.
"Big brother, Su Feng is getting married soon, when is it Sister's turn?!"
As he said this, Ling Xiaohe's heart raced, and he couldn't help but swallow hard, though he kept a steady voice and a composed expression.
"Hwajoo is still single and almost 20. Not only is she not in a hurry, but my parents are not in a hurry either. Only I, as the eldest brother, am worried."
Su Ze was very clear about his sister's affairs. He hadn't thought about finding a partner even after starting university. It wasn't that he hadn't pursued her, but rather that she wasn't interested in him and he had no interest in that area.
Su Ze was truly worried. Women are different from men; if she becomes an old maid, her options will only shrink. What's even more frustrating is that her parents aren't worried at all; she really doesn't know what they're thinking.
"Being single is great! Doesn't that mean I have a chance?!" Ling Xiaohe was overjoyed. How could he possibly get her to date him?!
"Hwaju is almost 20, and Ginmin is almost 28, but neither of them has any intention of getting married. We really don't understand these young people anymore."
When Su mentioned her younger sister, Cai Qingwen also thought of his own daughter and couldn't help but worry.
Cai Min submitted her application to the school six months ago to study abroad next year. If nothing unexpected happens, it will definitely be approved, which makes getting married even more distant.
"Those destined to meet will meet even if they are thousands of miles apart, but the one destined for them has not yet appeared."
Old Feng only has one grandson, who is far from being of marriageable age, so he doesn't know how to persuade him.
"Uncle Feng is right, I also have a 3-year-old son. If I didn't like him, I wouldn't settle for him. Besides, maybe it's just that our time hasn't come yet."
Ling Xiaohe quickly and secretly revealed his information, hoping that Brother Su would think more about him after hearing it.
If all else fails, I'll just tell Su Feng that I want to be his brother-in-law and ask for his help.
Su Ze, Lao Feng, and Cai Qingwen were all surprised that Ling Xiaohe was still single after three years. In fact, they had some guesses about it themselves.
“Gong Ling is right. Marriage is a big deal and should not be taken lightly. It’s something you’re going to do for the rest of your life, so it definitely requires mutual love to last.”
Old Feng agreed with Ling Xiaohe's words. He said that rushing to get married just because you've reached a certain age is a disaster. If you don't meet someone who makes your heart flutter later, that's fine, but if you do, it's a real disaster.
Such things have happened before, and we've all seen them.
"Old Feng is right."
If Cai Qingwen put himself in her shoes, he would also insist on doing the same.
