Today Song Jinxiu returned home as usual and found the house quite lively.
When I went in, I found a petite girl sitting next to Xia Xingchen. The girl lowered her head slightly and looked very shy.
"Xia En, this is my sister Song Jinxiu. Xiuxiu, come and meet your future sister-in-law." When Xia Xingchen saw his sister coming home, he hurriedly introduced the two to each other.
When Xia En heard Xia Xingchen's introduction, his already rosy face suddenly turned red all the way to the back of his ears.
"Hello." Xia En greeted Song Jinxiu in a low voice.
She had heard of Song Jinxiu, but this was the first time she saw her. She was so beautiful.
"Hello, sister-in-law." Song Jinxiu greeted her warmly. "My brother has really good taste. Sister-in-law, you are so beautiful."
"No, no, you look better." Shane said quickly.
"Oh, it's so late. You guys continue chatting while I go to cook." When Mother Xia saw Song Jinxiu come home, she realized that she had been sitting there too late without realizing it, so she quickly got up to cook.
"Auntie, I'll help too." Xia En said quickly.
"No need, I'll do it. You sit down and rest for a while." Mother Xia said with a smile.
"Yes, yes, yes. Let my brother take you for a walk nearby. You can come back for dinner soon." Song Jinxiu also said.
"It's okay, you can leave later." Then Xia En lowered his head embarrassedly, "Actually, I don't know how to cook, so it's a good opportunity for me to help and learn."
She has been eating in the army canteen since she was a child and living in a dormitory. She has no independent kitchen and no chance to cook for herself.
I usually use my extra time to learn more about nursing knowledge and have never thought about learning how to cook.
After all, I'm alone, so eating in the cafeteria is the most convenient.
"Sister-in-law, how old are you this year?" The three of them chatted while working in the kitchen.
In fact, some dishes are already prepared. You just need to process them a little more and stir-fry two vegetables.
"I'm twenty years old," Shane said.
"Are you in the same army as my brother?" Song Jinxiu asked curiously.
Because Shane was also wearing a military uniform.
"Well, I'm just a little nurse." Shane said embarrassedly.
Although she is very likely to be promoted to head nurse soon, it is not good to say anything about things that are not confirmed yet.
"Wow, that's amazing! I can't do that. I'm afraid of blood. If I see someone bleeding, I'll probably faint.
By then, the doctor wouldn’t know whether to save the patient or me first. Hahahaha!” Thinking of that scene, Song Jinxiu found it very funny.
Xia En smiled. She was also very scared at the beginning, but after seeing it many times, she was no longer afraid.
"Where is your home?" Song Jinxiu asked curiously.
"I, I am an orphan. I grew up in the army." Shane said in a low voice.
"Oh, sorry! But it's okay, this will be your home from now on.
"After you get married and move out, that will be your husband's family. You can live with your parents if you want, or your husband's family if you want." Song Jinxiu said.
Because Xia Xingchen's former wedding room became Song Jinxiu's boudoir, another room was prepared for him.
He can move out anytime when he gets married.
The three of them chatted and laughed, and the meal was ready soon.
Xia En really can't cook. She watched her mother cooking and watched carefully from the side.
From time to time, he would quietly ask Song Jinxiu what seasonings she added and how to judge whether the food was cooked through.
Song Jinxiu answered all her questions one by one.
When the meal was ready, Xia Xingchen came over to serve the dishes. Looking at his young wife's face which was red from the fire, he quietly touched it.
Xia En was startled and looked around quickly. He was relieved when he saw that no one noticed him, then he glared at Xia Xingchen hard.
All of this was seen by Song Jinxiu who was quietly observing the two of them.
She felt bloated even though she hadn't eaten yet.
Father Xia has returned and was sitting in the living room with Xia Xingchen.
When Xia En saw Xia's father, he was so nervous that he couldn't speak.
"Uncle, hello uncle." Shane made a mosquito-like sound.
"You too, please sit down and have your meal." Father Xia said to Xia En kindly.
"Has the report been submitted?" Father Xia asked at the dinner table.
"It was just put up today, so it should be down soon. We hope to complete the wedding before the New Year.
"Xiao En grew up in the army, so I'm going to prepare two special dishes for the logistics department so we can celebrate together," Xia Xingchen said.
"Okay, we'll set up a few separate tables and invite a few familiar people. Have you found the master of ceremonies?" asked Father Xia.
"Our commander said he would be our witness." Xia Xingchen said.
"That old rascal acted so quickly. That's fine, you two are his soldiers anyway, so you have to give him some face." Father Xia scolded with a smile.
Xia En ate quietly. Although she grew up in an inhospitable place, she rarely met the division commander or even the regiment commander.
When a superior is injured, he will be taken care of by a special person and it is not the turn of a young nurse like her. She has only seen this more often in recent years.
So this was also the reason why she rejected Xia Xingchen at the beginning. The two of them were not from the same class at all.
Xia Xingchen seemed to see through her thoughts and secretly held her hand under the table.
Shane was so frightened that he almost dropped his chopsticks. He tried to shake them away several times but failed. He didn't dare to make any big movements, so he had to concentrate on eating.
Mother Xia gave Xia Xingchen a warning look, and Song Jinxiu was laughing secretly.
After meeting the parents, the next step is to prepare for the wedding.
"Mom, you only have two children, me and my brother, right?" Song Jinxiu asked.
"Yeah, what's wrong?" Xia's mother asked in confusion.
"It's nothing. I'm just afraid that my brother will find another sister for me. Hahaha!" Song Jinxiu said with a smile.
"What nonsense are you talking about, kid?" Mother Xia gently hit Song Jinxiu.
This was a great event for the Xia family, and Song Jinxiu took charge of the list of supplies.
There is no need to think about fruits in the winter, but Song Jinxiu has a cheat.
When we were on the island, we were told that we could have a large number of purchasing rights.
However, Song Jinxiu didn't buy it often, just occasionally. This time, there was a reason, so the large quantity was understandable.
She discussed with Xia's father and mother how many cans of food to buy, and tried to give some to her close uncles and aunts, as well as Xia Xingchen's comrades-in-arms.
Although Shane has no relatives, he has lived in the army for so long, so he must have some good sisters.
It’s a wonderful thought to be able to eat fruits in the middle of winter.
Fruit, candy, meat, and vegetables. The only fresh vegetables are cabbage and radish.
So in order to change the taste, Song Jinxiu took out a lot of dried vegetables.
The pork belly stewed with dried vegetables is so delicious that it can make you swallow your tongue.
Cabbage and radish can be made into hot and sour cold dishes, which can also be used to make up the number.
Song Jinxiu also has the necessary seasonings.
