Mrs. Gao's full name is Feng Fangling. She is popular in the military region. She introduced Shuying to several sisters-in-law as Chen Tuan's new wife, and Shuying introduced several other sisters-in-law to her.

For example, the person being questioned is Liang's wife, the political commissar Liang's family, and then the other sisters-in-law are Niu's wife, Niu's wife, the head of the regiment, Pan's wife, Zhang's wife, and Wang's wife, the deputy regiment's family.

The tree shadows greeted each other politely.

Several sisters-in-law, including Sister Liang, were stunned when they learned that she was the rural daughter-in-law of Chen Tuan's family.

The two hottest gossips in the military district recently are: one is why Chen Tuan was suddenly transferred from the Jing District of Kyoto back to the remote Ganshi Military District; the other is Chen Tuan's rural wife.

You have to know that this Chen Tuan was a well-known figure in the military region, and also the most handsome one in the entire military region, but in the end he married a country girl.

It is said that this daughter-in-law is particularly ugly. Isn't it that everyone feels very sorry for Chen Tuan?

Who would have known that today Mrs. Gao would tell them that the woman in front of them, who had exceptionally fair skin and was much more beautiful than Xia Lina, the prettiest girl in the military district, was actually the new rural daughter-in-law of the Chen Tuan family.

How could the sisters-in-law not be surprised and shocked? They just stood there staring at the shadows of the trees.

It was still Mrs. Liang who came back to her senses first. Seeing that the sun was almost setting, if they didn't leave now, they would be really late. She hurriedly said, "Okay, don't just stand there, let's talk while walking! It's too late to go to the market, and there won't be much to buy." She then said to Shuying, "Mr. Chen, this is your first time here, you don't know the way, follow us!"

"good!"

Everyone walked to the market. Mrs. Gao took good care of Shuying and tried her best to help Shuying infiltrate the sisters-in-law.

Shuying is gentle and sensible and very easy to get along with. Before long, everyone is happily chatting and gossiping.

When everyone was gossiping, several sisters-in-law, including Sister Liang, were very curious about Shuying. They kept looking at her face and lamented that the rumor was really not to be believed.

If the one from Chen Tuan's family is ugly, how can others live? This one is so beautiful that she looks like a fairy.

Mrs. Niu is a straightforward person. She was first asked whether she was from the countryside. In fact, she looked more like a city girl than a city girl. How could she look like a country girl?

She was also from the countryside and had seen many country girls, but none as fair and attractive as her.

Shuying replied: "My family is from Hongyang Village in Anping County, and we are definitely from the countryside."

Mrs. Liang sighed and said, "The soil and water in your village are really good for people!"

Sisters Pan, Zhang and Wang also echoed what Sister Liang said.

Except for Mrs. Liang, all the others here are from the countryside.

Although rural girls are not necessarily ugly, there is no girl as white and attractive as her. There was a famine in the countryside a few years ago, and you can tell from her looks that she has never worked in the fields or suffered any hardship, so she must be living a good life at home.

No, someone asked this question.

Shuying replied: "I have four older brothers and I am the youngest, so my parents love me the most. My father is a worker and our family is well off!"

After Shuying said this, the others suddenly understood.

Although the daughter-in-law of the Chen Tuan family lives in the countryside, her living conditions are not necessarily worse than those of city dwellers. No wonder she has such fair and tender skin.

An hour later, we arrived at the market while chatting with each other.

After arriving at the market, everyone was no longer curious about Chen Tuan's wife. After agreeing on where to meet, everyone went to buy things separately.

Mrs. Gao also specifically told Shuying not to be anxious, and said that most of the things at the market stalls did not require a ticket.

Actually, the reason there is a market here is because the military area is too remote and it is not easy to go to the county town.

He also said about what time everyone would meet and go back on weekdays.

"Okay, thank you sister-in-law!" Shuying said gratefully.

After the other sisters-in-law went to the stalls to buy things, Shuying observed the market. The market was smaller than she thought, but the things sold in the stalls on both sides were quite rich.

The people setting up the stalls are probably from nearby villages.

She also saw a stall selling loaches and eels. There was a big bucket. Are eels and loaches still for sale now?

Shuying hurried over to ask the price of the loach.

The man selling loaches is a middle-aged man. His family is poor and he has nothing to sell. There are a lot of loaches and eels in the fields, so he catches some and tries to sell them.

Unfortunately, this thing has a strong earthy smell and is not easy to sell. A few days ago, he couldn't sell it and had to take it home to eat.

This thing has a strong fishy smell and no one in his family likes to eat it.

So, he bought too much and couldn't finish it at home, so he came to the market to try selling.

Unfortunately, after a long time, no one came to his stall. The middle-aged man was just feeling disappointed when he saw a very beautiful lesbian coming to his stall to ask about the prices of loaches and eels.

The middle-aged man hurriedly said, "Lady, yellow eel is eight cents per pound, loach is five cents per pound, no ticket required, how much do you want?"

Shuying didn't expect that the loaches and eels were so cheap. The middle-aged man thought she thought they were too expensive. It turned out that he sold the eels for 1 cent per pound and the loaches for 8 cents per pound. Everyone thought they were too expensive.

These loaches and yellow eels are slippery and you can't catch them. They are also meat, and he doesn't want to sell them cheaply. He tries hard on his honest face to say that these loaches and yellow eels are not only fresh, but have spit out the mud for a few days, so he can just take them home and cook them directly.

Shuying thought that her husband liked to eat eels and loaches. Besides, after this month, she would have to wait until next year to eat eels and loaches.

It just so happened that she was treating everyone tonight, and braised loach and braised yellow eel were also two meat dishes.

Shuying asked, "How do you sell it by the barrel?"

When the middle-aged man heard the lesbian in front of him wanted to buy a bucket of eels, his lips trembled with surprise.

Finally, this big bucket of eels and loaches was sold for a total of 80 cents. She couldn't take this big bucket of eels and loaches back to the military area at all, but it could be stored in space.

However, there were too many people here and it was not very convenient to put it there. The sisters-in-law probably knew what she was buying, so Shuying said bluntly, "Brother, my husband is a soldier in the Northwest Military District of Gan City. Can I round it up to an even number and give you an extra two cents? Can you help me deliver this bucket of loaches and eels to the gate of the military district?"

How could the middle-aged men not agree to such a good thing? They are poor and it is difficult for them to earn a few cents, let alone two dimes.

And these two cents are just a matter of walking a few more steps.

The middle-aged man was now looking at the shadow of the tree with his eyes wide open. He hastily agreed, fearing that she would change her mind if he was a little late, and he quickly said that he would send it to her right away.

"Sorry for the trouble, bro!"

After buying loaches and eels, Shuying bought a few pounds of ribs and meat. She didn’t buy much else because she wouldn’t be able to take too much back if she bought too much.

There are also a few fish and some vegetables at home, enough for cooking in the evening.

As for the other things, she will come by bike to buy them next time.

After finishing their training at noon, Fang Bo-ran, Zhou Sheng-tian, and Pan Yue-jin learned that Chen Tuan was going to have a dinner party at home.

His rural wife was very happy to cook the meal herself.

The gossip in the military district about Chen Tuan's rural wife and Chen Tuan's cold attitude in the past two days made the three of them very curious about what his rural wife looked like and how ugly she was. This was why Chen Tuan never mentioned her and disliked his wife so much.

Fang Boran was the happiest one.

Look, he even wants to bring his wife over to let Chen Tuan see his beautiful wife.

Although he is not as good as Chen Tuan in other aspects, he married a beautiful and educated city girl. Didn't you see that Pan Tuan and Zhou Tuan are particularly jealous of him?

In terms of marriage, he finally managed to surpass Chen Tuan.

Fang Boran smiled and said, "Chen Tuan, is it okay for me to take my wife with me in the evening?"

Chen Xi mentioned to his wife last night that he might bring his wife along when he invited his comrades to dinner. His wife agreed at the time, but Chen Xi selfishly only wanted a few comrades to go to his house. If there were too many people, his wife would have to cook so many dishes and how tiring it would be.

But seeing that Fang Boran had already mentioned it directly, Chen Xi couldn't disagree and said in a deep voice, "Okay!"

Pan Yuejin and Zhou Shengtian could definitely see Fang Boran's selfish intentions, and they looked at each other. However, they were really jealous of Fang Boran for having an educated and beautiful daughter-in-law.

No one can compare to Deputy Commander Fang's good fortune. When Commander Chen sees Deputy Commander Fang's wife, I'm sure he will be envious and jealous of them.

Fang Boran, who was envied by Pan Yuejin and Zhou Shengtian, felt a little dizzy and wished that it would be evening immediately.

Thinking that Chen Tuan would envy him like Zhou Shengtian and Pan Yuejin in the future, Fang Boran was in a particularly good mood the whole day.

At noon, Shuying returned to the military area. He asked Mrs. Gao and several other sisters-in-law to go home first. He took a bucket of loaches and eels from the middle-aged man who was waiting at the gate of the military area, paid for them, and took them home.

After returning home, Shuying went to the next door to pick up the child, but the child was not picked up. It is estimated that the child was taken somewhere to play by the Gao family's children.

With the three Gao brothers taking care of Chen Yi, Shuying was not worried.

When the child is hungry, he will come back by himself.

She carried the eels and loaches from the wooden barrel to the backyard, added a basin of cool water to keep them, and put the meat and ribs in a vegetable bowl in the kitchen.

Sitting at the wooden table in the main room, they laid out the dishes to be cooked for the evening. Last night, her husband told her that some of her comrades might bring their wives over, so there would be about a dozen people.

Shuying plans to prepare ten dishes for dinner, four meat dishes, five vegetarian dishes, and a soup.

Meat dishes: Braised eel, braised loach, pot-wrapped pork, chopped pepper fish

Vegetarian dishes: stir-fried cabbage, water spinach, smashed cucumber, braised eggplant

Soup: Pork ribs stewed with radish

Shuying had to prepare all these dishes by herself, and she also had to kill the fish, eels and loaches herself.

Shuying had just returned to the courtyard and had no time to eat lunch. He first prepared and washed the dishes for dinner.

It was easy to wash a few vegetables, and she knew how to kill fish. The only thing she had never killed was the slippery eel, so she didn't know what to do.

She really didn't know how to deal with the eels, so she could only wait for her husband to come back in the evening to help her. She had killed fish yesterday, so she had no experience in killing loaches, so she could only learn how to kill them.

After killing the fish and processing the loaches, and washing and preparing the vegetables, Shuying touched his watch and saw that it was already three o'clock in the afternoon.

There were not many bowls and chopsticks at home, so Shuying went to the house of Mrs. Gao next door to borrow a lot of bowls. She also specifically asked Captain Gao and her and a few children to come to her house for dinner.

My son had just had dinner at Yang Meizi's house last night, so Gao Dasao didn't have the face to bring several children to her house for dinner.

Upon learning that her family was hosting a dinner party in the evening, Mrs. Gao thought that at most her husband could go alone.

No wonder Sister Yang bought a lot of ribs and meat today. When she came back just now, Sister Gao was amazed when she saw the generous amount of ribs and meat bought by Sister Yang.

Mrs. Gao brought out a stack of bowls from the cupboard and gave them to her, then asked her if they were enough.

"That's enough, thank you sister-in-law!" Shuying took it.

After returning to the yard, Shuying started to cook dinner.

The radish stewed pork ribs need to be stewed first. This meat is more difficult to stew and needs to be stewed for an hour and a half. Fortunately, there are two kerosene stoves.

While the radish was stewing the spare ribs, she moved quickly and started to make the smashed cucumber.

It’s simple to make cucumber smashing. Just wash the cucumber, smash it and add some sauce.

She added chili peppers, garlic cloves, vinegar, light soy sauce, brown sugar and salt to the sauce and poured it over the chopped cucumber in a bowl.

Shuying took a sip and found it tasted good.

After smacking the cucumber, I stir-fried the cabbage and braised the eggplant under the shade of the tree. Then I fried the meat and made pot-stuffed pork, braised loach, and chopped pepper fish.

Shuying was concentrating on cooking, and the aroma of her food was wafting into the Gao and Fang families' yards.

The three Gao brothers, who had just come back from playing, were about to cry. Chen Yi was so happy when he smelled the delicious food that he wanted to go home immediately: "My aunt must have prepared something delicious!"

This made the three brothers of the Gao family look at Chen Yi with special envy. Why aren’t they from Aunt Yang’s family?

Not to mention that the aroma of the dish made the little radishes almost dizzy, Gao's eldest sister-in-law smelled the aroma of the dish from the next door in the main room, and now she is really impressed by Yang Meizi.

How come Miss Yang’s dishes are getting more delicious every time?

The aroma of the food tonight was so delicious that even she, an adult, couldn't help but want to go next door to ask Miss Yang what she had made.

How come it smells so good?

Xia Lina, who was at home next door, was also very greedy, but she was too embarrassed to go to the next door, and her face looked very unhappy.

Fang Boran, Pan Yuejin and Zhou Shengtian were very happy after finishing a day's training in the evening.

Because I can go to Chen Tuan's house for dinner, and I can also see what Chen Tuan's country wife looks like.

Pan Yuejin first told Chen Xi that he would go home first and then go there.

Zhou Shengtian and Fang Boran, one went home with Chen Xi first, while the other had to go home first to bring his wife over.

Chen Xi also invited Zhang Tuan, Gao Tuan and Li Hongqi to have dinner at his home.

Zhang Tuan and Gao Tuan also had to go home first. As the only battalion commander going to Chen Tuan's house for dinner, Li Hongqi was a little nervous and timid. Now, he also had to go home first.

Chen Xi simply took Zhou Shengtian home first.

Chen Xi brought Zhou Shengtian into his yard. Zhou Shengtian smelled the fragrance of food from a distance. He was still wondering in his heart whose daughter-in-law cooked such a delicious meal. Who knew it was Chen Tuan’s daughter-in-law?

It is no exaggeration to say that the aroma of this dish wafts throughout the distance. Once entering the yard, Zhou Shengtian was so attracted by the fragrance that he could hardly sit still and kept swallowing his saliva.

He thought to himself that Chen Tuan's country wife's cooking was so delicious, so even if she was a little ugly, it was still acceptable.

In the kitchen, except for the braised yellow eel and the pork ribs stewed with radish, all other dishes were ready. Hearing footsteps in the yard, Shuying hurried out and asked, "Brother Chen, are there guests coming?"

Just now, Zhou Shengtian and others who were muttering about the ugly daughter-in-law in their hearts saw a lesbian in a white shirt, black hair, an especially delicate face, thin red lips, much whiter and prettier than Xia Lina, walking out of the main room. Zhou Shengtian blurted out "Fuck!" with a trembling lip, turned around and immediately asked Chen Xi in surprise: "Chen Tuan, this... is your daughter-in-law?"
