They looked over here with intent eyes, which made Zhou Yuanzheng feel a little embarrassed. He pulled Shen Qingqing inside and introduced them to her.
"These are my soldiers. Don't mind them. They just like to join in the fun. Let's go in and eat."
The two did not go to the office, but found a corner at the edge of the training ground and sat down. It was hot at the moment, and the building was even more stuffy. The place they chose happened to have a big tree to block the sun, so it was not too hot.
Shen Qingqing sat down, opened the box and placed it on the ground. Afraid that it would be dirty, she also spread a piece of cloth on the ground to wrap the lunch box when she came out.
She poured out half of the mung bean soup and handed it to Zhou Yuanzheng, saying, "Drink it quickly. It should have cooled down by now. It's not hot anymore! I also added sugar. Try it."
In the summer, a bowl of mung bean soup is refreshing, sweet and thirst-quenching, and it instantly makes you feel half the heat is gone.
Zhou Yuanzheng had been training all morning without taking a break, and now he didn't even notice that his clothes were soaked with sweat. His face was tanned and looked shiny.
Shen Qingqing took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat off his face. "It's so hot, isn't it? The weather is getting hotter and hotter. Look at you, your clothes are all wet."
She sounded angry, but she really felt sorry for him. Although she knew that military training was tough, she still couldn't help but feel sour.
A bite of steamed bun, a bite of vegetable, and a big sip of mung bean soup, Zhou Yuanzheng immediately felt alive. Shen Qingqing stir-fried a lot of vegetables and was willing to use oil, just in case Zhou Yuanzheng would not be full. After all, he trained so much every day, how could his stomach be full without some oil and water.
Shen Qingqing was not very hungry, she just accompanied Zhou Yuan and ate her meal in a disjointed manner, occasionally picking up some food for him.
Zhou Yuan was feeling very happy, when he caught a glimpse of his brothers sitting in groups of three or four to rest not far away. They kept looking over here, which made him feel even more proud.
His wife is pretty and virtuous, and she cooks delicious meals. Such a good wife is willing to come to him in the hot sun to bring him meals, while they can only eat in the cafeteria. Don't you think those bachelors will envy her to death?
Zhou Yuan was feeling very proud, eating his food with big mouthfuls, deliberately teasing those who had been peeking at them.
After the two of them finished their meal, the other people also rested for a while, so they hurried to the cafeteria at a leisurely pace. It's not that they weren't hungry, they just wanted to see what the usually strict deputy commander Zhou was like when he was with his wife.
Now they know, it seems that even Deputy Captain Zhou is unruly when facing his own wife.
Tsk tsk, that big tooth, I've never seen it taken in, look how happy he is.
It was still early and Zhou Yuan had just finished lunch, so he had some extra time for a lunch break.
Shen Qingqing packed up her things and was about to leave. She refused Zhou Yuanzheng's offer to send her off. "Okay, it's only two steps away. Why would you send me off? Go and have a rest. I'll be right there."
At home, Shen Qingqing washed the lunch box, went to the garden in the afternoon, and then came back to cook dinner.
As soon as she got home, Zhou Yuanzheng brought her good news. She could go to work in the cafeteria tomorrow!
What?
Shen Qingqing was stunned, "So fast?"
Zhou Yuanzheng smiled and said, "Of course not. As soon as they heard you wanted to go there, they immediately agreed. I have already told them that you can report to the cafeteria tomorrow."
"Well, are you ready?"
This news touched Shen Qingqing's heart. She helped Zhou Yuanzheng sit on the sofa, poured him a glass of water, and handed it to him respectfully, "Thank you, Deputy Head Zhou. You have worked hard. I will go to work tomorrow."
Zhou Yuanzheng's posture was just right. He took the cup and took a sip, then said cheerfully, "Actually, I didn't contribute at all. The cafeteria is short of staff recently, and I'm planning to find someone."
"When I told them, they were even happier than I was. Besides, they had heard of your celebrity and told me that they had wanted to meet you for a long time."
Shen Qingqing was happy and excited. Starting tomorrow, she could go back to work.
