Shi Yanning had just cut half of the meat when a group of young soldiers rushed into the kitchen, all of them were sunny and strong young men.
After these few words, the family members and sisters-in-law of the construction team burst into laughter.
"Sister-in-law, let me do it. The team leader has already told us that we have to pick and wash the vegetables today."
Shi Yanning's job was taken over by the soldiers, and the kitchen suddenly became very lively. Some were making fire, some were washing vegetables, some were chopping bones, and some were stewing soup.
"Throw the chicken rack in and cook for an hour and a half, then take it out and you can eat it."
Seeing that the time was almost up, she went to put makeup on Su Xiaomei.
Just then, Huo Chenzhou came in with a large basin of fish fillets. He greeted him and swiftly took the 30-centimeter-wide spatula from Shi Yanning and started stir-frying.
Shi Yanning was directing at the side how much seasoning to add. With one gentle and one strong standing together, there was bound to be another round of teasing.
"Captain Huo can carry a gun on the battlefield and a knife in the kitchen. He is truly a good man among thousands!"
When Shi Yanning saw that the food was almost ready, he rushed to the yard and spent ten minutes putting on his makeup.
At 11 o'clock in the morning, a soldier who had just finished watching the excitement outside came to report the news and shouted: "The wedding has begun!"
A few people quickly pulled the dishes over, tidied their clothes, and happily went to the dam. At this time, Director Zhao was officiating the wedding.
Also standing next to them were Huo Chenzhou's Aunt Zhou and today's newlyweds.
When Huo Chenzhou saw Shi Yanning coming, he quickly pulled him to his side.
As Director Zhao finished his words, a large group of people appeared at the door and brought the dishes to the table one by one.
Everyone looked on excitedly as one dish after another was served.
Such as steamed Kung Fu fish fillet, spicy and sour fish head soup, meat on bamboo skewers with hot peppers, braised pork offal, and the last one is spicy diced chicken.
These dishes were all made by Shi Yanning, and they are also today’s main dishes.
These meat dishes immediately made everyone's eyes light up.
"This was made by the regiment commander's wife. I just heard from the soldier who served the dish that they went to the canteen early this morning and Commander Huo had already killed fish, and Comrade Shi had already cut up half a basin of chicken.
The chicken bones are in another bowl, and the knife skills are great!"
A few of them were assigned to lead a group of little devils in the courtyard because of their average cooking skills. When they saw the dishes served in the kitchen, although they knew that Shi Yanning was a good cook, they were still amazed.
"Look at this dish. The red and green are paired together, and it looks quite rich."
Aunt Zhou was smiling so hard that her eyes were curved, and Tao Xiaobo thanked her repeatedly.
"Captain, sister-in-law, I really don't know how to thank you today. I'll toast to you."
After saying that, he drank a full cup of wine. Huo Chenzhou looked at this soldier who had been following him since he joined the army. He trained with him step by step, went through life and death, and worked hard on his own to become the deputy battalion commander.
Now that he has a family again, he looks very pleased.
"Once you are married, live a good life and treat lesbians well!"
Shi Yanning looked at the bride standing beside him. She seemed to be feeling better. Recently, he also heard that the bride no longer cared about the Su family's affairs. Everyone praised her openly or secretly, saying that she knew how to live a good life.
Su Xiaomei and Tao Xiaobo joined hands and toasted everyone. No one urged anyone to drink today. They just focused on eating.
"My goodness, little boy, I told you to have three meat dishes and one vegetable dish, but you went all the way with five meat dishes, and the ingredients are still the same. That's amazing!"
Aunt Li ate the dishes made by Shi Yanning and praised them after every bite.
Sitting at their table were Mr. Qu, Master Liu, Director Zhao, Secretary Yuan, and Huo Chenzhou and Shi Yanning.
Professor Qu was also very happy eating at the side. It had been a long time since he had eaten such authentic spicy dishes. He didn't have any requirements for food, but he was naturally happy to eat delicious food.
"Mr. Qu, you have a great student. He can draw pictures, publish papers, and even cooks well."
Mr. Qu said proudly: "Cooking skills are only the most insignificant advantage of childhood."
Everyone laughed, Shi Yanning blushed, but still said: "Thank you, teacher, I will continue to work hard."
The wedding ended with everyone laughing, and Tao Xiaobo officially moved into the yard.
As the Chinese New Year was approaching, Shi Yanning packed his luggage and planned to return to the imperial capital.
Who would have thought that Huo Chenzhou had already packed everything.
"Let's go."
Shi Yanning and Huo Chenzhou were in the same car, and Professor Qu and others were also traveling with them. Since they were not in a hurry, their journey back to the city was quite leisurely.
It took the group five days to reach the imperial capital after stopping and walking.
Shi Yanning and his wife said goodbye to several people, and Huo Chenzhou drove back home.
In the living room in the yard, Huo's mother made a soft cushion, and Huo's father built a fence and wrapped it with cotton. The two little ones were crawling and playing inside.
There were toys in the box, and the two little ones would occasionally fight over them. Mother Huo would then come to mediate, making the situation very lively.
Father Huo was busy in the kitchen. He had now taken over the factory's affairs. He would ride his bike to the factory during the day and come back at mealtime.
Mr. Huo and his wife have already made plans to come to the capital to celebrate the New Year in a while.
The sound of the car engine stopped, and Mrs. Huo in the yard looked towards the gate.
"Mom, Dad, I'm back."
Shi Yanning was already thinking about her child in the car, and now he was lying on the fence, looking at her eagerly.
Her watery eyes, as big as grapes, looked a little strange.
But as Shi Yanning approached, the two little ones rushed to reach out, wanting Shi Yanning to hug them.
Huo Chenzhou was standing aside, unable to even pay attention.
Shi Yanning hugged the two little ones side by side, and Xiaobao nestled in her arms and didn't want to get out.
Dabao pouted, not quite sure whether to cry or not.
Huo Chenzhou stretched out his hand, and Dabao struggled for a while, but finally he relaxed slowly.
"Dad, Mom, thank you for your hard work, taking care of the children and working in the factory."
Shi Yanning felt a little sorry. He had opened the factory but did not manage it well. Before, there was his grandfather, and now there is his father.
Of course, Mr. and Mrs. Huo answered that it was not hard at all. They said cheerfully, "Dabao and Xiaobao are well behaved. They don't get up at night anymore and sleep until the next morning. The neighbors in the yard all say that they are the most well-behaved children they have ever seen."
Tuantuan and Yuanyuan smile whenever they see people. Most of the neighbors around them are parents or grandparents, and they are all very close to the two little ones.
"Your grandparents and in-laws said that they will arrive in the capital in two days. Then, come and have a meal with your aunt and your eldest brother!"
Mrs. Huo held the dish in her hand and wiped it with a rag and said.
"Really? Grandpa, grandma and my parents are coming to the imperial capital?" Shi Yanning hadn't seen his parents for some time.
"Yes, my grandparents said that they are hiring people in the factories and shops in my hometown. A high school student came. He is eloquent and can do accounting.
I listened to you and took over for a while, then let him be the manager of a branch store."
"This time the main store is also under his care. The child is a good one."
