After Su Ting came out of confinement, the matter of naming Manman was put on the agenda.

However, Su Ting did not urge He Dongchuan. Nowadays, most children have to go to school before they get registered. Since Dongchuan was just one month old, she thought she could at least give him a year to name him.

But Aunt Wang was very anxious. She was old-fashioned and felt that the baby would not have a proper name until the full-month banquet. So she urged He Dongchuan twice a day to quickly decide on a name.

He Dongchuan also wanted to decide on a name quickly, so that evening he came to seek Su Ting's opinion.

Su Ting was very troubled. Of course, she was very concerned about naming her daughter, but He Dongchuan was decisive in other matters but very hesitant in this matter. It would have been fine if he couldn't make up his mind, but he was also very picky and always rejected other people's suggestions.

However, when he rejected Su Ting's proposal, he was more tactful than when he rejected He's father's proposal. He only said, "I think this name is not very good/not very suitable", or "Do you want to think about it again?"

Every time Su Ting wanted to smash his head.

After a few times, Su Ting learned her lesson and never expressed her opinion on the name of the young lady again, leaving the matter entirely to him.

As a result, more than half a month passed, and after many twists and turns, he finally asked Su Ting: "Which of these names do you think is good?"

Seeing that he listed the names and she only needed to choose, Su Ting softened her attitude. She felt that he liked all these names, so he should have no objection to which one she chose, right?

After all, she was his daughter, so Su Ting was very concerned about her name, so she decided to help him think about it.

He Dongchuan listed six names in total, some of which have simple characters with good meanings, such as Jue and Xi, and some were selected from ancient poems, such as Qingzhi and Yanyu, which all sound good.

Su Ting thought either one would be fine, but she still thought about it seriously.

Although the word "Xi" sounds nice, it is too difficult to write. She was afraid that her daughter would cry while writing her name in school. The same goes for the word "Yun". Moreover, she couldn't think too deeply about the name "Yunyu". She always felt that it sounded like "pregnancy" after hearing it too many times.

After thinking about it, Su Ting pointed to the word "Jue" and said, "Let's choose this one. It sounds good, is easy to write, and has a good meaning."

He Dongchuan took the paper with the name written on it from Su Ting and pondered: "Isn't the word 'Jue' too simple? Its meaning is not as grand as the word 'Xi'."

"Then call me Xi."

"But didn't you just say that the name should be easy to write? The character 'Xi' has too many strokes and is too troublesome to write." And now, looking at it, he also felt that if the character was written tightly, it would be difficult to read, and if it was written loosely, it would not look good, which would be too challenging for a child who had just started school.

"It's not bad to call her Qingzhi."

"These two words have a good meaning when put together, but they are a bit ordinary when separated."

"Who will call out the names separately?"

"Qingqing, Zhizhi, isn't it normal to yell like this?"

Su Ting took a deep breath and continued to give He Dongchuan some suggestions: "What about this?"

"Well, not too good."

"this?"

"It doesn't sound good."

Su Ting stretched out her hand and pointed to the last name: "Is this okay?"

"Yanyu, does it sound a bit weird?"

Su Ting's fist hardened, and she slapped the paper with the name on it onto the bed: "What do you want? You chose the name yourself, and you think it's not good after I chose it. Do you have an opinion about the name or about me?"

"I do have an opinion about the name," He Dongchuan said quickly, "or I'll think about it again."

Su Ting sneered: "If you keep thinking about it, you won't be able to decide on a name by the time you go to school."

She finally realized that she couldn't rely on He Dongchuan to come up with the name.

Although she felt that there was no rush to name the child, it was annoying enough that he would come up with a few names for her to choose from every now and then, which could easily affect the relationship between the couple.

This can't go on.

Su Ting said, "I'll decide the name."

"Have you thought of a name?" He Dongchuan was very willing to listen to Su Ting's opinion. Of course, it was not certain whether she would express any objection after listening to it.

Su Ting rolled her eyes at him. The name she had thought of before had already been rejected by him!

People always have a herd mentality, and Su Ting is no exception. Obviously, those names were also thought out by her after much thought, but after being rejected, when she thought about those names again, she began to feel that this one and that one were not good.

But it doesn't matter. After all, she is a cultured person. It's just a name, right? She can do it!

Well, it's still a bit difficult.

Mainly because she had seen He Dongchuan's pickyness so often, she was always a little hesitant when thinking of a name now.

Su Ting thought about it for a whole night and a whole day. It was not until the next day at dinner that she asked at the table: "What do you think of calling He Miao Sanshui Miao?"

He Yan's mind raced: "My sister is Sanshui Miao, and I am Sanhuo Yan!"

Aunt Wang said as soon as she heard it: "This is a good name. You can tell right away that Xiaoyan and she are siblings."

Only He Dongchuan disagreed: "Isn't this name too..."

Su Ting interrupted He Dongchuan: "I will decide the name after we agree on it. You only have the right to vote now, just like Aunt Wang and Xiao Yan. Let's vote. If there are many votes in favor, the name will be He Miao. If there are few votes in favor, we will decide later."

He Dongchuan: “…”

He felt that there was no need to cast this vote. Judging from Aunt Wang and He Yan's attitudes just now, the result would definitely be three to one.

He Yan was very excited: "Can I vote, too?" Naming his sister was such a big thing, and the right to vote suddenly fell on him. He felt a little overwhelmed.

"You are a member of our family, so of course you can vote." Su Ting said affirmatively, "Then let's vote now. Those who support Man Man's full name is He Miao, please raise your hands!"

As soon as Su Ting finished speaking, He Miao raised his hand, and not just one hand, he even stood up, shouting, "Me, me, me!" for fear that his mother would miss him when counting the votes.

"He Yan glanced at me," Su Ting said, raising her hand, "I voted, Aunt Wang also voted, now, those who disagree with slowly named He Miao raise their hands."

He Dongchuan had given up resistance and did not raise his hand.

"Three to zero," Su Ting clapped her hands to finalize the score. "That's it. From now on, you'll be known as He Miao."

…

The name was just decided and the full-moon party was here.

Although it was the day of the full moon banquet and they had asked someone to help with the cooking as He Dongchuan had asked, they still had a lot of things to do.

The invited military wives only cook, and they have to decide the menu themselves. They also need to buy the ingredients needed for the day themselves. Vegetables are easy to buy, as they can be prepared two days in advance, but meat and seafood are not possible, as the weather is hot and they cannot be stored, so they have to be prepared on the day.

As he was worried about missing something in the rush that day, He Dongchuan contacted the people in charge of the seafood supply station and the butcher shop in advance and paid them in advance to help them reserve enough fish and pork.

Normally, the leaders of these units don't care about personal relationships. There are so many residents in the Navy compound, and they are all leaders. If one person asks for help to save the meat, they will do it. Then, if the next person asks for help, will they help? If they don't help, they will offend the person. If they help everyone, the meat will not be enough. They should just treat everyone equally.

But they are not completely indifferent to human relationships. For example, if someone has a wedding and wants to hold a banquet, they are still willing to be flexible and provide some convenience.

Normally, during these times, people who go to buy seafood and pork won’t be too angry if their orders are empty, because everyone has special circumstances, right?

Although they hired someone to help pick up the seafood and meat, they were not responsible for delivering the goods to their home, so Su Ting and her friends had to pick them up themselves. So they got up very early that day, had a simple breakfast, and then took a cart to get the seafood and meat.

The main item they wanted was seafood, and the reason was simple: pork, chicken, and duck meat all needed tickets to buy, and the butcher shop had a limited supply every day. Seafood was different. Pingchuan Island was close to the sea, and there was a fishing brigade on the island, so there was no supply restriction. Although the price was generally higher than pork bought with tickets, the couple wanted to have a good full-month banquet, so they were willing to spend money on it.

The menu they ordered had twelve dishes on the table, half of which were seafood, including crab meat pot, fried shrimp, braised horse mackerel, spicy stir-fried clams, etc. Each one was a main dish.

We ordered pork belly, but since the quantity was not enough, we decided to order braised pork with potatoes. We also bought a few pounds of pork bones for bone soup, which was also free of charge, so the pork on the pork bones was shaved very cleanly. With a dish of fried pork intestines, the banquet was very decent.

Because they ordered a large quantity, the seafood was served in whole pots. Although the cart that He Dongchuan borrowed was not small, it could only carry two pots of seafood in one trip. Together with the pork offal, they ran back and forth several times.

The wives of the soldiers who came to help also arrived early. When they saw them come back, they quickly helped to unload things, washing what needed to be washed, brushing what needed to be brushed, and letting those who needed to spit out sand and stones soak in water, and quickly got busy.

Aunt Wang was not idle. She was the cook in the family. This time she took the initiative to take on the cooking chores and also helped with the washing up.

He Dongchuan was busy with other things. They had invited a lot of people this time, and all of them brought their families with them, so they had to prepare at least twelve tables for the banquet.

Hosting a banquet does not mean only having dishes, but also preparing tables and chairs. They only have one table and six chairs at home, two of which were made by Su Ting after she came here. The other eleven tables and inferior chairs can only be borrowed from others.

But nowadays, most families have only one dining table at home, and some even have only a small dining table, so they cannot go to other people's homes to move the table in advance. They can only make an agreement with others to move it in the morning of the banquet, and return it immediately after lunch so as not to delay their own meals.

So after the seafood and meat were brought back, He Dongchuan had to move the table. He Yan loved to join in the fun and buy, so he also happily followed to help.

Su Ting was originally preparing to go, but she was worried about Man Man, and seeing that they were all busy, she returned to her room to look after her daughter.

It was also a coincidence that she came back. As soon as she entered the room, she started crying loudly.

After Su Ting woke up in the morning, the first thing she did was to feed her. Knowing that she was not that hungry, she went straight to touch her butt.

It turned out to be pee.

After finding out why Manman was crying, Su Ting did not rush to change her diaper. Instead, she went to the bathroom to get some hot water, found the towel she was using, threw it into the basin, and brought it to the master bedroom.

After placing the basin on the stool, Su Ting picked up the girl, gently pulled out her diaper and hung it on the end of the bed, then held her and pulled out a towel, wiping her butt little by little.

After wiping her clean and waiting until her butt was dry, Su Ting took out a new diaper from the drawer under the dressing table and put it on her.

After changing into a clean diaper, she slowly felt her buttocks felt much cleaner. Of course, she didn't think so. She just stopped her tears and giggled at Su Ting.

Her eyes gradually grew bigger, and when she smiled, they became crooked. Her pupils were dark and reflected the light, which was very contagious.

Su Ting laughed and asked softly: "Man Man, do you recognize me? I am your mother."

“I’m your brother!”

He Yan's voice suddenly rang out from behind. Su Ting turned around and saw him lying by the door, looking inside. She asked in surprise, "Didn't you go move the stool?"

"Yes, I'll be back after getting the stool." He Yan nodded.

"What about your father?"

He Yan said: "Dad is still in the back. It's such a big table, he can't carry it by himself, so he needs help."

The tables they borrowed were about the same size as their dining tables at home. The weight was not a big problem, as He Dongchuan could carry it by himself. However, the tables were relatively large and had four legs, so it was not easy for one person to carry them.

As they were talking, there was a noise outside. He Yan turned around and ran out to see what was going on. After a while, Su Ting heard him exclaim, "Dad is so awesome!"

Su Ting was curious after hearing what she heard, so she took Manman out to see what was going on.

As soon as she went out, Su Ting saw He Dongchuan and Shi Cheng walking towards Jiang's house carrying two tables and several stools.

Because the table on top was placed upside down with its four legs standing very high, and the stools were also placed on the table with their four legs facing up, it did look quite spectacular. Along the way it attracted quite a few children who followed behind, jumping and skipping, making it very lively.

Gradually, he also began to join in the fun, and when he saw this scene, he waved his hands even more vigorously and made "ah-ah" sounds with his mouth.

He Dongchuan originally came in backwards with his back turned, so he didn't see the mother and daughter. However, he had sharp ears and was able to accurately distinguish the young lady's voice from the noisy sounds, so he turned around and took a look.

When he saw this, his eyebrows raised.

After putting down the table, without saying a word to Shi Cheng, he walked in front of Su Ting and pinched her cheek: "Are you slowly waking up?"

He slowly waved his hands to grab his father's fingers, and continued to call out "ya ya" with his mouth.

He Dongchuan directly regarded "Ya Ya" as his father and said happily: "Dad is here, Dad is here." He turned around and boasted to Shi Cheng, "My daughter can call me now."

"Nonsense! Your girl clearly shouted 'yeah yeah'." Shi Cheng thought to himself that he was not without ears, and he couldn't just lie with his eyes open.

He Dongchuan said as if it was a matter of course: "This is because my daughter is young and can't pronounce words clearly. She must have called dad. Forget it. It's hard to explain to someone like you who hasn't experienced the infancy of a child."

Shi Cheng's wife followed the army after he was promoted to deputy battalion commander four years ago. At that time, he had two children, one seven and one four years old. Before that, they had been apart for most of the time, so he really didn't experience much of his children's infancy.

After his wife came to join the army, Shi Cheng wanted to have a child. The mainstream idea of ​​the time was that more children meant more blessings, so two children seemed a little too few. But perhaps they were not destined to be together. Four years later, there was still no news about the third child.

Listening to He Dongchuan's words of persuasion, Shi Cheng couldn't help but roll his eyes: "Yes, yes, your daughter is the smartest. She knows how to call daddy in just one month."

He Dongchuan automatically ignored the sarcasm in his words and said complacently, "Of course."

Shi Cheng: “…” He had nothing to say to his nanny.

It was rare for the young lady to wake up, so He Dongchuan didn't want to move the table anymore and ordered Shi Cheng to continue working.

The brother's daughter is one month old. Although Shi Cheng doesn't mind helping, he works while He Dongchuan hugs his daughter? That's too much!

Su Ting was embarrassed to let Shi Cheng work alone, so she reached out and pushed He Dongchuan: "Be more aware of yourself."

He Yan imitated the parrot and said, "Dad! Be more aware of yourself!"

Although she no longer understood what they said and could not speak, she would shout along: "Ah! Ah! Ah!"

"Did you hear that? Your daughter-in-law is telling you to be more self-aware." Shi Cheng helped translate. "This is her full-month celebration. It only happens once in a lifetime."

He Dongchuan sighed and pinched his girlfriend's cheek: "Wait for Dad to come back." Then he followed Shi Cheng to work.

Slowly waving his hands: "Ahhh!"

The He family lived in a row house with a narrow yard. Even if the tables and chairs were placed at the Jiang family's door, at most three tables could be placed. But after Wang Lixia and Duan Xiaoying had a quarrel, her personality became more and more stubborn. Su Ting was too lazy to deal with her, so she didn't let He Dongchuan tell Jiang Wei about it. Only two tables were placed at the door, plus one table in the living room, for a total of three tables.

In addition, they borrowed a place from Yu Xiaofang and her neighbor. Su Ting was also with them for the banquet, as well as another military wife who was a good cook.

Originally, Yu Xiaofang said that she didn't want any money. They had such a good relationship, and after a month, she was willing to help.

But Su Ting felt that brothers should be clear about their accounts, not to mention that she had to invite three people to the banquet, so she couldn't use favors to find so many people to help in vain. It's not that her popularity is so bad, but many times, favors are more valuable than money. When money can solve the problem, Su Ting is usually not willing to use favors.

Su Ting didn't even consider the option of paying others a salary and simply helping Yu Xiaofang.

Even though they have a good relationship, after working hard all day, Yu Xiaofang would definitely feel bad when she sees others getting paid while she gets nothing for the same job, so Su Ting insisted on paying her a salary.

Although Yu Xiaofang was reluctant to take the money at first, after the deal was finalized, she couldn't help but praise Su Ting for her generosity when she mentioned it to her husband.

When it was time to work, she worked harder because she was paid after all.

Yu Xiaofang's neighbors were the same. The two families were very generous in providing the space, even the living room. The living room of the townhouse was not big, and it could only accommodate one table. With the three tables in the yard, the front house could accommodate a total of five tables.

They did not borrow space for the remaining four tables, but placed them directly in the aisle between the buildings. The aisle was spacious enough for a military jeep to pass through, so there was no problem in placing a table there.

Besides, the sun is strong and windy outside today, so it’s nice to eat in the aisle.

Having said that, since the tables and chairs for his own home had already been moved back, He Dongchuan should have moved them directly to the building in front. However, he was thinking about his wife and daughter-in-law, so he went back after putting the tables and chairs away.

When he got home and saw that Man Man was still awake, He Dongchuan felt proud again and boasted to Shi Cheng that his daughter was smart and could understand what he said.

Shi Cheng felt that he shouldn't have followed He Dongchuan back and talked so much nonsense!

After they moved the tables and chairs, the He family became lively. Many of the couple's good friends came early, and the two of them entertained their guests. He Yan was not idle either, as he entertained the children brought by their friends.

So she gradually became the most idle person in the house. After playing for a while with her eyes closed, she yawned and fell asleep.

…

The full-moon party was supposed to be held at lunch, but in reality, almost all the guests had arrived before 11 o'clock. After all, it was Sunday, and most people in the compound didn't have to go to work, so they naturally arrived early.

Those who cannot come due to work basically ask another family member to take care of the children.

Suddenly, the He family's house was crowded with people.

Wang Lixia was sitting in her living room, listening to the noise next door. She couldn't help but curl her lips and say, "A little girl invites so many people!"

Jiang Wei, who was going home to get a match when he found out he had run out of matches when he was lighting a cigarette, frowned and said, "On someone else's wedding day, why are you saying these things? And it would be so bad if Rongrong heard this."

Wang Lixia's face fell after being scolded: "You also know that it is someone else's big wedding? What does other people's wedding have to do with you? Why are you so enthusiastic?" Thinking of Jiang Rong, "I am her mother, do I have to estimate her when I speak? What's wrong with what I said? Su Ting gave birth to a girl."

Jiang Wei was annoyed after hearing this, but he was too lazy to argue with her: "Okay, okay, say whatever you want." He went into the house to find matches.

Seeing his attitude, Wang Lixia was furious. She followed him to the master bedroom, stood at the door and asked sternly, "Where did you eat lunch?"

"I'm going to eat next door." Jiang Wei asked as he searched the closet, "Where did you put the pack of matches I bought earlier?"

Wang Lixia walked into the master bedroom, opened the bottom drawer of the closet, took out a box of matches from it, handed it to Jiang Wei, and asked, "How much do you plan to give as a gift?"

Although Wang Lixia was in charge of the finances in their family, Jiang Wei would not hand over all his salary to her. He would give her 70 or 80 yuan every month for living expenses, and would send the rest back home and save some of it.

He Dongchuan told Jiang Wei directly about the full-month banquet, and Wang Lixia didn't have a good relationship with Su Ting and was unwilling to give them gifts, but Jiang Wei insisted on going, so the gift money came from his savings, and he didn't tell Wang Lixia how much money he wanted to give.

Wang Lixia had been thinking about this for a long time, but every time she asked Jiang Wei about it, he would just say impatiently: "Don't you want to get involved in this matter? Why are you asking so many questions now?"

Wang Lixia was so angry that she really didn't ask any more questions.

But she was still thinking about this matter in her heart, and she couldn't help but think about it. Although the money was with Jiang Wei, it was their common property.

And the more Jiang Wei said this, the more she felt that the money he gave would not be small. In her heart, she cursed Su Ting and his wife countless times, thinking that they were cunning and were taking advantage of their daughter's full-month celebration to spend money.

Jiang Wei got the matches, and his anger subsided a little. After all, they were husband and wife, and he didn't want to quarrel with her over this matter. He said, "Don't worry, Ren Ya doesn't care about your little money. Lao He didn't take my red envelope."

Talking about this, Jiang Wei couldn't help but sigh that He Dongchuan and his wife were really generous.

Nowadays, when hosting a banquet, one has to consider the balance between income and expenditure. A table is occupied by thirteen or fourteen people, and the gifts received cost at least twenty or thirty yuan, while the prepared banquet costs less than ten yuan. In the end, the profit from a banquet can reach a hundred yuan.

Even so, it is already considered generous. For example, when the Han family hosted a banquet before, there were only ten dishes on the table, six meat and two vegetarian dishes. Everyone said it was an exaggeration.

Unexpectedly, the He family was even more generous this time. There were twelve dishes on the table, ten of which were meat dishes, and the remaining one was a vegetable and a cold dish. It was obvious that they had spent a lot of money. According to the specifications of their banquet, they might not be able to make back the money even if they received gifts, but they refused to accept any red envelopes.

Wang Lixia was relieved to hear that Jiang Wei did not give out the red envelope, but after hearing his sigh, she could not help but mutter: "He Dongchuan has a good family background, of course he doesn't care about this little money."

As for Su Ting, she doesn't earn the money, so how can she be generous?

But Wang Lixia didn't say this. Jiang Wei heard the first half of her sentence and sighed, "That's true."

In fact, after being transferred to Pingchuan Island, He Dongchuan has always been very low-key. He went to the city post office to call his family and never talked about his family in front of his comrades. So until Su Ting gave birth, they didn't know the situation at He Dongchuan's home.

After Su Ting gave birth, He's father called He Dongchuan's office several times because of his granddaughter's name.

At that time, all calls were transferred manually, and the army's phones were monitored by special personnel. As a result, the news that He Dongchuan's father was a leader of the army spread.

During this time, those who were dissatisfied with He Dongchuan made many gossips, such as no wonder he became a battalion commander at such a young age, and it was good to have a father who was an official, as it would have allowed him to fight for ten years less. They wished that all his contributions over the years would be wiped out.

However, these people only grumbled behind He Dongchuan's back and dared not say a word in front of He Dongchuan because their backgrounds were not as good as his.

When Jiang Weigang heard the news, he felt sad. It was not easy to get promoted in the army. He was only 33 years old this year and was only a deputy battalion commander. It was unknown whether he could be transferred to a civilian job as a battalion-level cadre.

Even though there is only a half-level difference between a regular battalion commander and a deputy battalion commander, the treatment after demobilization is very different. At this time, demobilization will be promoted half a level. A regular battalion commander can be promoted half a level to deputy regiment commander. If the demobilization is good, he can enter the county revolutionary committee and become the first or second in command. If the demobilization is not good enough, he can go to a county-level agency or a state-owned factory and become the first or second in command.

The treatment for deputy battalion commanders is not so good. The best arrangement is to become the head of the local commune. If it is not good, he may be a director, or become a small leader in a county agency.

It seems that he is also a cadre, but this cadre is very different from other cadres. People go to high places and water flows to low places. Who who can become the top leader of a county-level unit is willing to give up such a good opportunity to go to the commune?

The older Jiang Wei gets, the more anxious he becomes. When he hears that He Dongchuan's father is a leader in the capital, how can he not be jealous?

Although he was not familiar with He Dongchuan, he had heard of some of his deeds. Unlike some people who wanted to erase all his contributions and accuse him of relying on his father, he acknowledged He Dongchuan's ability in his heart.

He just couldn't help but think that if his family could give him more help, he wouldn't have to worry so much about the future.

But no matter what, it's definitely a good idea to be friends with He Dongchuan. Not to mention his family, he himself is a capable person and his future will definitely not be bad.

Even if this relationship is of no use now, there may be a day in the future when he will come to me for help.

Because of this, he gave the He family a big red envelope when they held the full-month banquet, but He Dongchuan refused to accept it.

Jiang Wei was sighing when Wang Lixia said, "Why don't I go to their house to eat too."

"What?" Jiang Wei was stunned for a moment, thinking he had heard wrongly.

"I said I won't cook at noon, and let's go to their house to eat together." Before, Wang Lixia refused to go to the He family for dinner because the two families lived in the same yard. However, it was He Dongchuan and Jiang Wei who talked about the full-month banquet, and Su Ting didn't even mention it to her. She couldn't get over the fact that she gave a gift and still got scolded.

But when Wang Lixia learned that He Dongchuan did not accept the red envelope from her husband, she felt relieved and thought it would be a waste not to eat the free lunch.

Upon learning of Wang Lixia's plan, Jiang Wei's expression instantly became indescribable.

He really couldn't understand it.

He felt that the living expenses he gave Wang Lixia every month were not small, so why was she so stingy? Not only did she have to eat coarse food at home, but she also always wanted to take advantage of other people's homes.

He had a quarrel with the Han family before, and until now he hasn’t spoken to Han Bin.

Jiang Wei said with a headache: "We agreed before that I would take the two children to eat, and now you want to go too, what about the children?"

"Let's go together."

"When other people go out for a drink, at most they have three people, but we have four. It will be embarrassing if people tell others about it. If you go, then I won't go." Jiang Wei threatened.

Wang Lixia couldn't help but complain: "This Su Ting is really, she has no manners at all. After all, we are neighbors. What's wrong with inviting our whole family to the banquet?"

Jiang Wei thought, come on, your relationship is worse than strangers, let alone neighbors.

But he was afraid of angering Wang Lixia and making her change her mind and go to He's house for dinner, so he didn't say it out loud. He said, "If you don't want to cook, go to the cafeteria for lunch."

"It's so troublesome to go to the cafeteria to eat," Wang Lixia immediately shook her head, "Forget it, I'll just make noodles at home."

Jiang Wei breathed a sigh of relief: "That's fine."

…

While Jiang Wei and his wife were talking, He Dongchuan took a break from his busy schedule and came to the master bedroom. He wanted to talk to Su Ting, but it turned out that all the people sitting and standing in the bedroom were military wives. There was no place for him to step, and he was caught and made a joke.

Although it is not summer yet in terms of time, the temperature has already reached summer, so He Dongchuan is wearing a summer white military uniform today.

The white navy uniform is generally recognized as good-looking. Although white makes people look darker, men don’t have to care about this. Just look at the temperament after putting it on.

What's more, He Dongchuan is famous for his handsome appearance. Wearing this white military uniform, he looks even more handsome.

The military wives also like to coquettishly, and usually they don't get too close to He Dongchuan. But today is Man Man's full-month banquet, a happy day, and in front of Su Ting, with so many military wives in the room, everyone is not so cautious and praises He Dongchuan.

He Dongchuan is a shameless person in front of Su Ting. He is never satisfied with the nice words she says.

But he was still very careful about his image outside. At this time, he was surrounded by so many military wives, and he felt that he could not resist and quickly retreated. In the end, Su Ting came to his rescue: "If he keeps exaggerating, his tail will be in the sky."

A military wife laughed and said, "Oh my, Comrade Xiao Su is jealous. Well, we won't say anything. You can brag about the rest."

"You guys are setting a trap for me, right?" Su Ting said with a smile, walked up to He Dongchuan and asked, "Are you looking for me?"

He Dongchuan hummed but said nothing and looked at other people.

Everyone covered their ears and said, "Don't worry, we won't listen." But their fingers quietly opened up a big gap.

Su Ting didn't want to stay here and let them make fun of her, so she followed He Dongchuan to the second bedroom and closed the door, completely blocking her from everyone's sight.

After closing the door, He Dongchuan did not say anything immediately. He just looked at Su Ting and said, "I'm ready."

"Preparing for what?" Su Ting was confused.

He Dongchuan said: "I heard you praise me."

Su Ting: "...So many people praising you just now isn't enough, right? How about I let them in?"

"How can their praise of me be the same as your praise of me?" To prevent Su Ting from shopping, He Dongchuan grabbed her waist, "I just want to hear you praise me."

Su Ting had an itchy spot on her waist. When she was grabbed, she couldn't help twisting. She reached out to pull his hand and wanted to raise her eyebrows, but she couldn't help laughing because of the itchiness. She said softly, "That's enough!"

Not only did He Dongchuan not let go, he also urged in a hoarse voice: "Hurry up."

Their bodies were pressed together. Su Ting could clearly feel his reaction. Her ears gradually turned red. "There are people outside!"

He Dongchuan said indifferently: "I won't do anything to you." He felt sad even as he said this. He still had to endure for two more months.

Su Ting thought that even if he didn't do anything, the posture of the two of them was enough to arouse people's reverie. If someone pushed the door open and saw them, she would not have to face anyone.

But He Dongchuan was clear that he would not act until he saw the rabbit... After hesitating for a while, Su Ting had to compliment him reluctantly: "You are the tallest, most handsome and have the best figure."

He Dongchuan felt relaxed all over.

Su Ting looked up at him and asked unhappily, "Now can you tell me what you want from me?"

"Nothing, I just want you to praise me."

Su Ting: “…” So she is walking into a trap?
