Chapter 217 Preparing to Leave



Wei Chenfeng opened the car door and let Xia Shuhong and Shu Wanqiao get in first. Song Jinran sat in the passenger seat before Wei Chenfeng got in and started the car and drove towards the county town.

Most of the guests had left, leaving only Xia Jinnian's three brothers in the army, Zhou Jinrui, Su Chengyuan and Feng Shuhuai.

They also wanted to have two more delicious meals at Tang Shiyan's place and would not return to the army until tomorrow.

Xia Jinnian took Tang Shiyan's hand and said, "Wife, you're tired today. Go to your room and rest for a while. My brothers and I will clean up here."

"There are melon seed shells, peanut shells, candy wrappers everywhere, and we have to clean the tables and chairs before we return them to the owner."

"Well, Jinnian, thank you for your hard work. I'm going to go take a rest first and make dinner for you later. I can't let you do so much work and make dinner at the same time, right?"

"Okay, wife, then you should go into the house and have some rest."

After Tang Shiyan entered the house, Zhou Jinrui teased, "Boss, why don't you go and rest with your sister-in-law while we clean up here."

"Anyway, there's no one else around right now, so we'll pretend we can't hear what you're doing in the room."

Xia Jinnian: "Stop talking nonsense! What are you talking about in broad daylight? Is it because I haven't been with you all this time that you're itching again?"

"Hurry up and clean up. Believe it or not, I'll ask your sister-in-law to make you some porridge. I think you've been eating too well these past two days."

“Boss, please don’t, we finally came to my sister-in-law’s place to eat something good.”

"You can't ask your sister-in-law to make porridge for us. The food we've eaten in the army lately has no oil or water, and our intestines are almost rusted."

Xia Jinnian: "If you want to eat delicious food, talk less and do more. You talk too much like a woman. I don't know which girl will be willing to marry you in the future."

Tang Shiyan was sitting in the house resting and was very happy to see a few people outside cleaning and bickering with each other.

Who says housework is only women's job? Men can do it well too.

After cleaning everywhere and washing the borrowed tables, chairs and benches and returning them to their owners, it was already time for dinner.

However, Tang Shiyan saw how busy they were and thought they must be very tired, so she prepared dinner by herself and they could have dinner after they finished.

Xia Jinnian came to the kitchen and saw that Tang Shiyan had already prepared dinner. "Yanyan, you already prepared dinner. I told you to come and make it after we were done."

"Jinnian, you guys have been busy all afternoon and must be tired. Since I don't have anything to do, I'll just prepare dinner for you guys.

"Jinnian, go and ask the three of them to come in for dinner."

"Okay, Yanyan."

When they came into the house, Tang Shiyan had already put the food on the table.

Tang Shiyan: "You guys should eat quickly. You've been busy all afternoon. Thank you for your hard work."

"Luckily, you guys came to help this time, otherwise, your boss and I would be really busy and dizzy."

Su Chengyuan: "Sister-in-law, it's okay. We are not tired. This little work is nothing compared to our military training."

"You didn't see us training in the army? We were really risking our lives, especially in the summer when we were training under the scorching heat."

"It's really unbearable. People with poor health will even faint. After each training session, the clothes and pants are soaked with water."

"Life was poor and there was no money to make. Some recruits couldn't hold on and left early."

"But we managed to persevere, thanks to the guidance and encouragement from our boss."

Xia Jinnian: "That's good to know. If I hadn't taught you guys so strictly and encouraged you back then, you would have probably run away like turtles."

"If you had withdrawn from the army, you wouldn't have met such a wonderful sister-in-law. You can eat so many delicious meat dishes. This is all thanks to me. You should thank me."

"Boss, we got it. Don't worry, the three of us will clean up the dishes after dinner."

"Go and sleep in the same room you shared last night at the brigade headquarters. I won't disturb your private time."

"Okay, stop relying on your mouth and eat quickly. Your sister-in-law has made so many meat dishes for you, so you should eat more. Otherwise, you will go back to the army tomorrow and eat steamed buns, pumpkins, and potatoes."

"Yes, Boss, we understand. After you marry your sister-in-law, can't she go to the army with you? When will you go back?"

"Will we be able to eat my sister-in-law's cooking again then? Ever since I started eating her cooking, I don't want to eat in the army cafeteria anymore."

"It shouldn't be long. Once we've transferred your sister-in-law's household registration to the captain, we'll return to the army. But don't keep thinking about eating the food your sister-in-law cooks."

"I didn't marry her to cook for us. She has her own things to do. I didn't marry her to be a nanny."

Tang Shiyan: "Jinnian, you're right. I have my own things to do. I can't just stay at home and cook for the family every day."

"I want to live a good life with my own abilities and don't want to rely on anyone else."

"Didn't your boss rent a house outside the army? When I'm not busy, I'll cook and invite you guys over for dinner."

"Okay, sister-in-law, we got it. If you have something to do, don't bother with us."

"When we're not busy, we can buy some food and cook it at your rental house. But our food isn't as delicious as your sister-in-law's."
