Chapter 58

"Your brother-in-law's comrade is coming over for dinner tonight."

Tang Wan is not stupid either. She knows that there is a little bit of coarse grain mixed into the white flour, even though the buns are filled with meat.

But it is also stir-fried meat with shredded radish, with more radishes and just the meaty taste.

"Then I'll help my sister."

Tang Zhou became more active in his work, but Tang Wan also steamed buns in the morning and boiled a few eggs.

Breakfast was served, including steamed buns and eggs. Tang Wan also made a cup of milk for Tang Zhou.

She hadn’t bought the malted milk that was popular in this era, so she just made it with the milk powder she had in her spare room.

But she didn't show it openly, for fear that others might see it and make a fuss about it.

"Sister, drink this precious thing yourself."

Tang Zhou quickly refused, saying that such good food should be given to his sister. He was a man and didn't need to drink such good food.

"Of course I will drink it, it will make you taller."

Tang Wan said with a stern face, "Don't you want to join the army too? The army has high requirements, and they don't want people who are too short."

She was not tall before she traveled through time, only 1.6 meters. The original owner was not that tall, about 1.65 meters tall, which was not considered short among the girls around her.

That was because the original owner's parents raised her well. She wanted to drink more milk so that she could grow taller.

Otherwise, if she stood next to Lu Huaijing, she would be too short.

"Then I'll drink it!"

Tang Zhou took the milk and gulped it down in one gulp, probably without even tasting it.

Tang Wan was speechless and didn't say anything to him. After they had breakfast, Tang Zhou took the initiative to propose.

"Sister, I went out yesterday and saw that there are wild vegetables and firewood at the foot of the mountain behind our courtyard."

"Okay, let's go get some wild vegetables for a snack."

Tang Wan carried the backpack from home, locked the door, and took Tang Zhou out of the yard.

She originally wanted to call Zhang Hongyan to come along, but she was not at home. She must have gone out to buy things again.

Along the way, they met many military wives, and most of them knew that she was Lu Huaijing's wife. Many of them nodded slightly or greeted her.

As for what they discussed behind her back, Tang Wan didn't care at all and just lived her own life.

As she got closer, Tang Wan discovered that there were indeed quite a few military wives at the foot of the mountain, and the wild vegetables at the foot of the mountain were almost all pulled out.

They could only walk a little further inside, Tang Zhou muttering to himself.

"Yesterday I saw a lot of wild vegetables, but today there are none left."

Yesterday, he thought there was no firewood at home, so he picked up some firewood. He had no idea that these people would act so quickly.

"It doesn't matter, let's go somewhere with fewer people and take a look."

Tang Wan also didn't like the looks from the military wives, so she simply took Tang Zhou away.

Soon, she found a wild vegetable field. She bent down and began to pick wild vegetables while Tang Zhou picked firewood.

Suddenly..., from a distance Tang Wan caught a glimpse of a pheasant flying past.

Yes...

Yes, they fly. Pheasants can fly.

It just doesn't fly very high, it just keeps fluttering around.

"If my brother-in-law was here, he would definitely be able to catch the pheasant."

Tang Zhou's eyes were glowing green, and he made an important decision in his heart.

He wants to become as awesome as his brother-in-law!

Seeing the regret in his eyes, Tang Wan paused slightly in picking wild vegetables.

She remembered that in the original owner's memory, Tang Zhou seemed to like playing slingshots, so Tang Wan's consciousness began to look through the things she had looted from Tang Zhou's room.

Sure enough, there was a slingshot, which she pretended to take out of her pocket.

"Zhou Zhou, I remember that you used to love playing with slingshots, so I took it out for you when you left home.

You can try to hit the pheasant with a stone. If you can't hit it, it doesn't matter. Just practice your aim."

"Slingshot?!!"

This was Tang Zhou’s favorite toy. He didn’t expect his sister to give it to him. He took it happily.

"Sure enough, my sister still understands me!"

He couldn't wait to bend down, pick up a stone, and throw it towards a place not far away.

The pheasant was so scared that it flew farther!

Although he didn't hit anything, Tang Zhou jumped up happily.

Tang Wan just finished picking the small patch of wild vegetables in front of her, "Let's go, let's go a little further inside."

Tang Zhou was also very excited holding the slingshot and didn't think too much. The two of them had obviously separated from the crowd.

Just when Tang Wan was picking wild vegetables enthusiastically, she suddenly heard Tang Zhou shouting excitedly.

"Sister, I caught a rabbit!"

He was holding a rabbit that was dazed by a stone in his hand, and he rushed over excitedly, dancing with joy and showing the most genuine smile.

“Zhou Zhou is awesome!”

Tang Wan raised her thumb as he wished, then hid the rabbit in the small basket and covered it with wild vegetables.

Seeing that Tang Zhou still looked unsatisfied, Tang Wan said helplessly, "We have to go back early to prepare the ingredients.

Your brother-in-law has quite a few comrades-in-arms, more than a dozen or twenty of them, and I won’t have time to cook when they arrive.”

"Then I'll come back next time."

Tang Zhou carried the firewood he had picked and followed Tang Wan down the mountain with some regret.

Tang Wan was afraid that he would be so bold as to go hunting alone, so she kept muttering to him all the way back to the compound.

Tang Wan saw Xu Heping and Qiu Dazao from a distance, and Xu Heping made a face at Tang Zhou.

Qiu Dazao had a dark face and looked unhappy.

Tang Wancai was too lazy to care what others thought. She took Tang Zhou home, and the two of them had a casual meal to fill their stomachs at noon.

In the afternoon, Lu Huaijing asked someone to send some food ingredients over. It was estimated that he asked the kitchen staff to buy them.

With these and the things she brought back yesterday, Tang Wan had a rough recipe in mind.

Scrambled eggs with green onions, radish and pork bone soup, rabbit stewed with potatoes, cabbage and vermicelli, braised pork intestines, halved eggplant, and stir-fried wild vegetables.

Served with white flour meat buns, it was a respectable banquet.

Considering that Lu Huaijing’s leader might know her identity, Tang Wan always puts more side dishes than meat in every dish.

Fat intestines are not worth the money anyway, so it doesn’t matter if you order more.

She spent the whole afternoon washing and cutting at home, busy as a whirlwind. Fortunately, Tang Zhou helped her.

Lu Huaijing finished his training at 5:30 and came back from the training ground with his comrades around 6 o'clock.

So Tang Wan started cooking at 5:30. In addition to the big meat buns, she also prepared some steamed buns.

At exactly six o'clock, Tang Wan had just put the food on the table when she heard the voices of men talking outside.

She asked Tang Zhou to scoop out the big bone soup and she went out to greet them.

Lu Huaijing and a black-faced man stood in the middle. If she guessed correctly, this was Captain Xu.

Behind them were a group of comrades-in-arms of different ages, but all of them were energetic, tall and long-legged. At a glance, there were about twenty of them.

Lu Huaijing introduced everyone with a smile, "This is my wife Tang Wan, my wife."

"Hello, sister-in-law!"

"Hello, sister-in-law!"

The warriors' voices were so loud that Tang Wan blushed unconsciously. "Hello."

"Wife, this is Captain Xu."

Lu Huaijing introduced the man next to him to Tang Wan. After all, he was his direct supervisor, so of course he had to introduce him specially.

"Hello, Captain Xu."

Tang Wan was very calm and composed, and there was no sign that she had ever had any conflicts with her mother before. Captain Xu also smiled.

"Brothers have big appetites. Thank you for your hard work today."

Just as Tang Wan was about to open her mouth to speak, someone pushed the warriors aside and came in front of them.

It was Qiu Dazao, who had had an indecent relationship with Tang Wan before. She was holding her grandson in one hand and smiling with wrinkles all over her face.

"Dashu, how could you leave us behind when you come out to eat?"

This man obviously brought his grandson here to eat and drink for free.
