Chapter 168 Commander Huang Arrives

I had been thinking that before I moved away, I would gather a few families I was close to for a meal and a get-together at home.

Although the provincial capital is not far from them, it will not be difficult to meet in the future.

But we are all adults, with our own jobs and families, and our own things to do. It’s not that easy to get together.

We all know that once Shen Zhiyou and the others move away, we really don’t know when we will meet again.

Maybe it will be this year or next year, or maybe we won’t see it in this lifetime.

It just so happens that everyone is here today and we have everything to eat at home, so we might as well take advantage of today to have a meal together and get together.

Chen Cuijuan and Gu Pandyi both worked efficiently, and Fu Chunmei and others also came to help.

Deputy Captain Ma originally wanted to sit in the yard and watch the chickens and wait for them to finish cooking so they could eat immediately.

As a result, Gu Ye threw a bucket into his arms and said, "Let's go get some water together."

Deputy Captain Ma frowned and said, "No, we just came back and haven't even had a chance to catch our breath."

"Who isn't?"

Political Commissar Zhou and Battalion Commander Zheng were also assigned tasks.

The two of them usually work at home, so their reaction was not as big as that of Deputy Captain Ma.

He smiled and pulled Deputy Captain Ma up, "Let's go quickly. After Lao Gu and his family leave, your Chunmei will be in a bad mood and no one will comfort her. You should think about how to behave quickly, or you will be yelled at every day at home."

When Political Commissar Zhou said this, everyone laughed.

Deputy Captain Ma cursed a lot, but he followed obediently.

Listening to the noise made by the group of men outside, Shen Zhiyou and the others couldn't stop laughing in the kitchen.

Shen Zhiyou still remembers that when she first came here, Fu Chunmei's status in the family was really at the bottom, and Deputy Captain Ma would yell at her at will outside.

Now, although Deputy Captain Ma is still a bit talkative, Fu Chunmei's status has improved visibly.

"Look at him."

Fu Chunmei rolled her eyes and cursed, but there was a smile in her eyes: "He is really nothing like yours. He acts like a boss when he gets home. When I asked him to help me get something, he said he was tired from training. I just worked a whole day, but he is so delicate."

However, Fu Chunmei has seen it clearly now.

"It's true that the older I get, the more I find marriage meaningless. Sister Pan Di, I didn't understand why you didn't want to get married before, but now I really understand. It's so comfortable for a person not to get married and not have to serve that stinky man. He can do whatever he wants!"

Zhu Fang and Political Commissar Zhou are an old man and a young wife. They have a good relationship and Political Commissar Zhou treats Zhu Fang like an elder treats a younger person.

Liu Lihua and Captain Zheng are even worse. Captain Zheng has always put himself in the position of a bootlicker. At home, he never lets Liu Lihua do any heavy work.

So neither of them had the same feelings as Fu Chunmei.

However, it is true that I envy Gu Pandi's freedom.

Gu Pandi lowered her head and smiled: "I also benefited from my brothers and sisters. If it weren't for my family's support, I wouldn't be where I am today."

In the past few years, she has met Chief of Staff Liang several times.

She was married and not stupid, so she knew that Chief of Staff Liang might indeed be interested in her.

But she really doesn't want to get married.

But sometimes, when it was late at night and she was lying in bed alone, Gu Pandi would also think.

If she had not been taken in by her younger brother and had not met such a good brother-in-law, she would most likely have agreed if Chief of Staff Liang wanted to marry her.

Shen Zhiyou was called upon by Gu Pandi.

She cleared her throat and said, "What freedom? As long as our souls and minds are free, we are free. When we are older, it is not impossible to kick the men and children at home and go out to play together for a few days!"

"Youyou is right!"

Fu Chunmei was the first to agree, but after she finished speaking, she cursed with an unhappy look on her face: "It's my husband. If I leave, he won't even be able to find his pants and socks, and he won't know how to wash his clothes. I don't know how people will laugh at him."

The one who usually scolds her husband the most harshly is Fu Chunmei.

But the one who is most dependent on her family is actually Fu Chunmei.

After so many years, everyone knows Fu Chunmei's personality, so she just joked to resolve the topic: "So, your deputy head Ma is only three and a half years old."

"Ha ha ha ha"

We chatted and laughed, and the meal was soon prepared.

There were a lot of people, so we cooked a lot of dishes.

I roasted the two remaining cured pork ribs from the Chinese New Year and stewed them with some lettuce. It was very fragrant without adding anything else.

When Political Commissar Zhou came, he brought a fish. He had originally planned to eat it at home in the evening, but now that they had decided to have dinner at Gu Ye's house, he asked Chen Cuijuan and the others to cook it together.

The fish was really big, and it was cooked with white radish strips, filling up a whole pot.

I steamed some cured fish cubes and sausages that Shen Dahe sent over.

All that's left is stir-fry and soup.

She fried two kinds of green vegetables, some fried eggs with chives that children like to eat, and a pot of braised peanuts and some braised dried fruits for the men to eat as snacks.

A few years ago, when Gu Ye and his friends went to the mountains for training, they brought back a lot of mushrooms, and there are still quite a few left.

I used these mushrooms to make a pot of mushroom, vegetable and lean meat soup.

Mushrooms are delicious, so just add a little shredded ginger and salt and the soup will be extremely delicious.

There was a table full of dishes. When Deputy Captain Ma went home to move the table and chairs, he also took out two bottles of Erguotou that he had treasured for a long time.

After Gu Pandi and Chen Cuijuan finished their work and sat down, Political Commissar Zhou filled their glasses with wine. Shen Zhiyou and the others also made a cup of tea to cooperate with them.

A group of children had cups filled with soda.

Political Commissar Zhou raised his glass and said, "Originally, the first drink should have gone to Comrade Gu Ye, but we all know that Commander Gu doesn't like to say polite words, so I'll take over."

As soon as Political Commissar Zhou said this, everyone knew what he was going to say.

He also raised the cup in his hand.

Even the little ones didn't miss out, and they imitated their parents, finding it so fun and giggling.

"This first glass of wine is to wish Comrade Gu Ye great success in his new military region!"

"good!"

Everyone shouted together, and suddenly a voice came from outside the yard: "Why didn't you invite me to the dinner? Do you think I'm too old?"

Hearing this, everyone turned around at the same time.

The person who came was Commander Huang, who strode over with a bottle of Moutai and two books in his hands.

Seeing that it was him, everyone stood up quickly, "Commander Huang, we just came up with this on impulse, please take a seat."

Captain Zheng was the most perceptive and quickly went to get a chair and put it between Gu Ye and Political Commissar Zhou.

Commander Huang smiled and sat down. He looked up and saw Gu Ye and Shen Zhiyou looking at him with guilt. He immediately frowned and said, "What's wrong? I can't come yet. In your minds, I, Huang Zhongguo, am such an unreasonable and petty person?!"

As soon as these words came out, Shen Zhiyou felt a sore nose.

Not to mention Gu Ye, his eyes were red, "Leader."
