Hearing that Jiang Qingyue wanted to cook, Zhou Zhengting agreed without hesitation, "Then let's go buy groceries together now, and I'll help you later."
"Okay." Jiang Qingyue nodded, "Call Xie Xiangyang over at noon. He has suffered a lot with you this time, so he needs to be compensated."
"Yes, yes, yes. My wife said she would give it to whoever she wants. Old Xie will probably be very happy when he finds out."
After leaving the hospital, the two prepared to go to the market on the island to buy vegetables.
But when I just passed by the dormitory, I saw a lot of fishermen from the island carrying things towards me.
Seeing the two people, everyone jogged.
When she got there, Jiang Qingyue realized that the baskets in everyone's hands were filled with eggs, chicken, fish, various fruits, etc.
"Captain Zhou, we came here to see you. We heard that something happened to you and everyone was terrified."
"Yeah, I'm glad you're okay. If you survive a disaster, you'll have good fortune in the future."
"These are the eggs laid by our own chickens, as well as the fruits and fish we grew and caught. You can take them out to replenish your body."
Zhou Zhengting refused to accept it, but the other party placed the thing directly at their feet.
"These are just some gifts from our fellow villagers, please accept them."
"Yes, this durian is very nutritious."
Zhou Zhengting was very touched, and seeing that he couldn't refuse, he had to accept it.
I plan to return it when I have the chance.
Jiang Qingyue also meant this, "By the way, you were able to come back this time thanks to Uncle Xu. Let's go to his place this afternoon to give him some things."
"Okay, I'll go this afternoon."
Although the organization has already prepared a commendation for Old Man Xu, I still have to go and thank him in person.
After everyone left, the two of them carried their things and walked home.
But as soon as I walked downstairs, the aunties and sisters from the family compound came to visit me, carrying things in their hands.
The items delivered were rice, flour, grain, oil, meat, vegetables, etc.
The two refused several times, but couldn't refuse.
So he invited everyone to his home for dinner.
But everyone said they didn't want to disturb the two people's rest.
Jiang Qingyue thought that her home was indeed too small to entertain so many people, so she smiled and said, "After we move after the New Year, I'll invite everyone to come over and have a simple meal!"
When everyone heard this, they immediately asked with a smile, "So, you are coming to join the army?"
"That's great. Our island will be more lively from now on. We can hang out together more often."
Before Jiang Qingyue could speak, Zhou Zhengting smiled and said, "She came here for a work mission."
"Work?"
"Yes, it's in the nearby Nanfanyuan."
Upon hearing this resounding name, everyone was shocked. "Is it the South China Institute of Breeding? Tsk tsk, Captain Zhou, your partner is actually a scientific researcher?"
Seeing Zhou Zhengting nod, everyone couldn't help but refresh their understanding of Jiang Qingyue.
I didn't expect that she was so young and beautiful that she could be transferred to work at the Nanfan Institute.
Thinking of this, everyone couldn't help but joke, "No wonder our family member said that Captain Zhou's photo is almost covered with patina!"
"This is really a good time for the company commander next week."
Seeing everyone joking, Zhou Zhengting didn't get angry, he just smiled helplessly and nodded.
Then he quickly pulled Jiang Qingyue back upstairs.
This way, you don’t have to go out to buy groceries anymore.
The weather in the South Island is hot, so food cannot be left out for long and must be eaten quickly.
Especially meat.
After going back to tidy up, Jiang Qingyue planned to make some chicken soup first.
As for the pork, just knead the dough, roll out the skin and make wontons.
The two of them were busy in the kitchen for more than half an hour, and the wontons were already wrapped.
The chicken soup in the pot was sizzling and emitting a fragrant aroma.
Jiang Qingyue quickly pushed Zhou Zhengting, who was following her like a lackey, and said, "Go call Old Xie. I'll mix two more cold dishes and we'll be ready to eat."
"Okay, let's go now."
Ever since Lao Xie heard that I would come for dinner today, he has been waiting by the phone.
As soon as I heard the phone ring, I picked it up immediately, "Hello, who is this?"
Zhou Zhengting sneered, "Stop pretending, come over here quickly, dinner is ready!"
"Okay!"
After hanging up the phone, Xie Xiangyang ran over as fast as he could.
As soon as I walked in, I smelled a strong smell of chicken soup, "It smells so good——"
Before he could finish, a packed lunch box was suddenly stuffed into his hand.
"Ah? Aren't we eating here? Do you want me to go back and eat?"
Zhou Zhengting smiled cheerfully, "No, I asked you to take him to the hospital, to the soldier who came back from the deserted island with us."
"Ah? You want me to deliver it? No, why did I suddenly think of delivering food to him?"
"Just do it if I ask you to. Why are you talking so much nonsense? Besides, it was thanks to him that we were pulled out of the water on the deserted island. Have you forgotten?"
Xie Xiangyang scratched his head embarrassedly, "You're right, I'll go and send it off now!"
After saying that, he strode out of the door.
Before the door was closed, he turned back and shouted, "Sister-in-law, wait until I come back before eating. I'll be quick!"
Jiang Qingyue and Zhou Zhengting smiled at each other, "Why does Old Xie look so greedy? Do you want to steam the fish?"
"That's fine. He's not greedy. He just can't forget the meal you made for him."
Jiang Qingyue smiled as she quickly cleaned the fish and started steaming it over high heat.
When the hot oil was poured on, Xie Xiangyang just came back.
"Old Xie is great. He ran back and forth in just over ten minutes."
"Of course not. As long as you provide meals, let alone deliver things, I can do anything."
After saying that, the three of them burst into laughter.
The chicken on the island is tender and fresh. The two of us drank two bowls in a row and praised it highly.
While eating, Zhou Zhengting did not forget to pick up some food for Jiang Qingyue, but unfortunately she didn't have a big appetite and was full after just one bowl of wontons.
The rest went into the two people's stomachs.
Xie Xiangyang looked at the remaining steamed fish and couldn't help but feel sorry for it. "I remember when I was in the tobacco market, my sister-in-law's boiled fish was a must-try. This one is too light and I can't eat it."
Jiang Qingyue smiled and said, "You two are both weak right now, so you can't eat anything too spicy."
Xie Xiangyang was unhappy when he heard this, "Captain, did you hear that? My sister-in-law said that we are weak? Isn't this contempt for soldiers?"
Zhou Zhengting sneered, "Don't make a big deal out of it. If I say you are who you are, then you are who you are!"
"Okay." Xie Xiangyang curled his lips, "Then you can't run away either."
Seeing this, Jiang Qingyue smiled helplessly, "Okay, let's do this, I'll invite you over when I make boiled fish in two days."
Xie Xiangyang was overjoyed, "Okay, I'll prepare the fish and everything. Just let me know if you need anything."
After the meal, the two began to discuss what to buy from Old Xu.
When Xie Xiangyang heard this, he wanted to go along as well.
"This time, it's all thanks to my sister-in-law for insisting on coming to see us, but Old Xu has also made great contributions. If we want to go and take a look, I'll go with you."
