Chapter 46: What a lucky guy
Shen Jintao couldn't explain clearly what it felt like. It might be because the Shen family had never favored boys over girls. She couldn't guarantee whether there was such a thought or not, but at least she and Shen Chunmiao were living very well in the Shen family.
She couldn't imagine trying so hard to give birth to a son. At this moment, Shen Jintao began to dislike Deputy Battalion Commander Zhang, a man she had never met before.
Any responsible man should know that giving birth in this way is very bad for his wife's health, but he keeps giving birth. He knows that it will be a great burden on his family and will also cause certain troubles to the neighbors in the same compound. This Deputy Battalion Commander Zhang is probably not a very responsible person.
Soon the topic shifted away from this family, and everyone started talking and laughing about other things. Most of the time, it was the sisters-in-law who were talking and Chen Jintao was listening.
I could really tell a lot of things, such as who has a good family, who has a great family, who has a girl looking for a job, or who has a child who is having a big fight with his family because of dating...
I can only say that the sisters-in-law provided quite a bit of information. Even though she had just arrived at this family compound, Chen Jintao felt as if she had a certain understanding of it.
But she was also very willing to listen, so she integrated well.
As dishes came out one after another, the sisters-in-law were already overwhelmed and had no time to chat. Everyone was dazzled by the fragrance.
"Oh my god, it's the same seafood, how did you make it taste like this? Is this still the seafood we hate so much every day? It completely shattered my perception of seafood."
In the eyes of these sisters-in-law, seafood can only fill the stomach, but it is not delicious. Except for some sea fish, which are relatively fresh, there are too many people and too little meat. There is not enough for everyone to share, and it is very difficult to get them.
"I just put more seasoning, and even the stronger smell is covered up. These seafoods have their own freshness. As long as they are cooked well, they are actually very delicious." Chen Jintao smiled, "If you don't mind, come over often in the future and I will teach you how to cook it."
"That's great. It's not easy for us to get other supplies here. If I can learn your skill, it will make life less boring." Qian Mingfang said with a smile.
Nowadays, the most important thing for everyone is to fill their stomachs. If we could really cook seafood as well as Shen Jintao, life would be more comfortable.
The sisters-in-law all agreed, and soon the comrades invited by Huo Beichuan arrived, including the husbands of these sisters-in-law.
In fact, the army is also a small society. When military wives play together, they mostly look at which man their husbands have a better relationship with, so the lovers of these wives who come here are basically on good terms with Huo Beichuan.
In addition to seafood, there was also a lot of chicken and duck meat. The men's table was full. It was a pity that they had to be on call at all times in the army and could not drink, otherwise it would have been more perfect.
As soon as the group of old men entered the room, their noses were blocked by the fragrance. There was nothing else in their eyes and they all looked at Huo Beichuan with envy.
Gao Wu was heartbroken. "It is really lucky that a man like Lao Huo who doesn't understand romance can marry a beautiful and capable woman like my sister-in-law!"
"Go to hell!" Huo Beichuan punched Gao Wu on the shoulder, "Can you speak?"
"You guys eat, I'll go to the kitchen to accompany my sisters-in-law." Chen Jintao brought all the dishes to the table and said to Huo Beichuan with a smile.
"Thank you for your hard work, my wife!" Huo Beichuan's eyes were glued to Shen Jintao. Although his wife asked him to help at the beginning, he was driven out after his sisters-in-law came.
"Sister-in-law, your cooking skills are so good, the brothers are in for a treat!"
"It smells so good. I'm afraid I won't be able to eat the food cooked by my husband after this meal." Deputy Battalion Commander Li sighed.
"What did you say?"
Huang Xiuru suddenly appeared in front of him, scaring Deputy Battalion Commander Li.
"Old Huo, why didn't you tell me that my wife was here too?" Deputy Battalion Commander Li glared at Huo Beichuan.
"Although I didn't say it, my wife did!" Huo Beichuan shrugged.
"Why didn't I hear you when you said that?" Deputy Battalion Commander Li was terrified, and quickly said to his wife with a smile, "It's outside, can you give me some face?"
Everyone burst into laughter.
Huang Xiuru rolled her eyes at him and said, "I'm too lazy to tell you."
Although there was no wine, Chen Jintao and Huo Beichuan bought a lot of soda and kept throwing it in the water tank, which was still ice cold.
Although the weather is not hot now, it is still refreshing to have a bite of this.
The men sat at one table and the women sat at another. No one disturbed anyone else and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
Halfway through the meal, everyone suddenly heard a commotion.
Qian Mingfang rolled her eyes speechlessly, "It must be Wang Cuihua who beats her granddaughter. It's always like this. If they don't get the advantage of other people's good food, they will beat their children, making everyone feel uncomfortable."
Chen Jintao was also speechless, "Sister Liu and Deputy Battalion Commander Zhang don't care?"
"Why bother? They just pretended they didn't hear anything. If they are soft-hearted, they might bring some things to his family and Wang Cuihua will stop. If they don't give anything, they can beat the child to vent their anger." Qian Mingfang looked at the three boys eating at the side angrily, "They really don't know how to appreciate the blessings they have. I really want a daughter, but his family treats daughters as if they were not human beings."
The sisters-in-law were not at home for dinner, so naturally they brought their children along. The main room could not accommodate so many people, so the women and children were all in the kitchen. The tables, chairs and benches in the kitchen were brought by Qian Mingfang and Huang Xiuru from their own homes, and everyone pooled together to get the bowls and chopsticks, otherwise how could there be so many?
Children have no resistance to delicious food and they were eating with relish. Qian Mingfang's three children were suddenly called upon by their mother and they looked at her with grievance.
Just at this moment, someone knocked on the gate again. When Huo Beichuan opened the door, he saw three little girls.
They are all thin and small, and you can tell at a glance that they have not had a good life.
Huo Beichuan had just moved into the family compound and was not familiar with the children of Deputy Battalion Commander Zhang. After a pause, he looked at the oldest one and said, "Little boy, what can I do for you?"
There was a very eye-catching slap mark on Zhang Zhaodi's face. She looked at Huo Beichuan and cried, "Uncle, can you give us something to eat? We don't have any food at home, and we are hungry!"
Huo Beichuan frowned, "Whose family are you from?"
Zhang Zhaodi refused to speak. Her sisters Zhang Laidi and Zhang Xiangdi followed behind her. Zhang Laidi stretched her neck to look into the room. Because she was small, she could only see many people lying in the room. However, she had a sensitive nose and took a deep breath. "Uncle, your family has cooked so many delicious dishes. We can have some, right? Can you give us some?"
Huo Beichuan was almost certain who these three children belonged to. Since the old one failed, he asked the younger ones to use a self-torture tactic?
