After hanging up the phone, Yan Ziyuan felt very complicated.

This time he was not impulsive, but very calm.

Before, he was a little complacent, thinking that he was only in his twenties but had already achieved his current success, far surpassing his peers.

But if you think about it carefully, he is actually nothing.

When the daughter-in-law encounters problems that need to be dealt with, her first reaction is to tell her grandfather and father, and she chooses not to tell her husband.

He knew that Xiao Yu was worried that he would want to go to Heng City to find her, and that he would take too much leave, which would have a bad impact on the army.

In fact, on the other hand, grandpa and dad make her feel more secure.

Grandpa and dad have high status and it is easier for them to handle things than for him, a small group leader.

Many times, he may have to find ways to make connections to handle a matter, but for them, it can be solved easily with just a phone call.

After all, he is still too weak now.

He couldn't continue to grow up slowly step by step like this. He had to run and work hard to grow himself to the point where Xiaoyu could trust him and truly protect her.

From that day on, many people in the army felt that Yan Ziyuan had changed.

His face was still serious and cold, but he seemed to be working harder in training and carrying out missions.

His goal before was to get full marks and be first.

It was different now, he wanted to surpass the first place and leave the second place far behind. This also made his soldiers suffer, which was already more difficult than other regiments, and now it was even worse.

Of course, the subordinates complained a lot, but the happiest people were the leaders of the army, who welcomed this change.

Although I don’t know why Yan Ziyuan has undergone such a big change, if all the captains can be like him, their combat level will definitely be greatly improved.

Song Fuyu in Heng City had no idea that her concealment would cause such a great shock to Yan Ziyuan.

Just as he thought, she chose to call Beijing simply because her grandfather and father had wider connections and more face.

She didn't want Yao Yu to become a prisoner even though he was trying to save her.

Early on Saturday morning, brother and sister Zhou Xiao and Zhou He, each carrying two bags, knocked on the Chen family's door before eight o'clock.

Last week, the brother and sister spent their two-day weekend at Chen's house. Not only did they stay here for dinner, they also stayed overnight on Saturday night.

"Sister Fu Yu, we heard from Dad that you were injured. How are you now?"

"We wanted to come and see you that day, but Dad didn't let us disturb you."

Zhou He put the things on the coffee table and walked forward to see where Song Fuyu was injured. He walked around her but didn't see anything wrong.

"Thank you both for your concern. I was injured in my arm and my clothes covered it."

"Your father is a very skilled doctor. He treated me and I am almost fully recovered now."

"I'm glad you're okay. Although we'd love for you to stay for another week, it's better not to stay like this."

"But I can't make delicious food for you these two days. Your Uncle Chen won't let me."

"You don't have to cook for us. My sister and I came here to help you cook. We have already bought the vegetables. Leave it to us for the next two days."

"Are you sure?"

"Of course, you taught us how to cook this last week, and we practiced it when we got home."

They came over to visit last weekend, and besides chatting with them and playing board games, the siblings were most interested in things related to cooking.

Since they wanted to learn, Song Fuyu was happy to teach.

He guided them in making a few simple quick dishes. Zhou Xiao was a slow learner as she did not have much talent in cooking, but her younger brother Zhou He was quite good and got the hang of it quickly.

"What vegetables did you buy?"

"There's meat, ribs, tofu, cucumbers, greens... Luckily I got up early today so I could queue up and buy the meat. If I had gotten up a little later, it would have been gone for sure."

"Mom also asked us to bring you some red dates. They were sent by my uncle from Xinshi. They are super big and very sweet."

"Thank you, I'm touched."

"Hehe, you're welcome."

The siblings were also very happy that she liked what they brought.

Last week, she not only cooked delicious meals for them for two days, but also brought them a lot of snacks when she went home on the weekend afternoon. However, when she brought them back, their father confiscated them on the grounds that children should not eat too many snacks.

Don’t think they don’t know, he just wants it so he can eat it too!

"Since there are so many red dates, how about I teach you how to make some desserts related to red dates?"

"Okay, I'll do as you say."

"Xiaoxiao, you come make the smile and the red sugar fermented rice dumplings."

"Xiao He, you make pies and brown sugar steamed cakes. I tell you, if you can make these two, you will be amazing."

"real?"

"Of course it's true. Both of them look easy, but they require some technical skills, especially the steamed cake. The possibility of failure is very high."

"I must study hard and try to succeed in one go."

Zhou He doesn’t really like cooking, he likes challenges more, especially when Song Fuyu says it’s difficult. If he finishes it and gets her praise, he will feel very happy and accomplished.

After several contacts with Song Fuyu, he realized that she was his second idol and there was almost nothing she didn't know or could do.

Song Fuyu first assigned Zhou Xiao her work, and then began to direct Zhou He to do the work.

When Chen Guoxing and Zhou Longbin returned from the hospital after removing the plaster, they smelled a sweet scent when they opened the door.

"You don't know, our two little ones came here last week and learned a few dishes. Then they went to the supply and marketing cooperative early this morning with their money and tickets to line up."

Zhou Longbin was on a day off today. Since it was the day when Lao Chen was removing the plaster, he went over to help him personally and followed him back here.

"I'm going to see what they're working on. It smells so good."

As soon as Zhou Longbin entered the kitchen, he saw that his son's face, hands, and body were all covered with flour, looking like a cat.

"Xiao He, are you the one cooking or is your cooking making you? Look at you, it's all over the place."

"Dad, I just made a pie. Come and try it. It's delicious."

"There is also a pot of red date steamed cake, which is being steamed."

When Zhou He saw his father coming in, he couldn't wait to promote his achievements to him.

"Come, let me have a taste of what it's like."

Zhou Longbin picked up a pie and took a big bite without hesitation.

The thin pie crust is filled with thick meat, accompanied by the fragrance of green onions, and seems to have some crispy texture, I don't know what it is.

The seemingly simple pie has a very rich taste and is indeed very delicious.
