Yao Tengfei uttered a short "Huh?" and said, "You guys are quite talented in the eyes of others!"
There was a moment of silence at the dinner table.
Jiang Shiyue couldn't help but curl her lips. Yao Tengfei still asked for a beating even when he was being sarcastic.
But it's still a bit fun to be with him.
Song Shan tried to smooth things over, "You're both right. Captain Chen is certainly more talented than you, but he trains just as hard and sweats as no one else. Of course, as Tengfei said, you're all very capable in our eyes too. After all, only one in a million can become a pilot. People like us can only do ground crew."
As the saying goes, comparing goods will lead to throwing them away, and comparing people will lead to death.
When pilots complain to the ground crew, it seems like they are deliberately showing off.
As the host, Chen Shanhe raised his glass and changed the subject, "Today we are just having a casual meal, we won't talk about work."
Qian Wen laughed and said, "That's right. You deal with airplanes all day long, and you're still talking about airplanes when you come back for a meal. Aren't you spoiling the fun? Don't forget that today is the first time I'm meeting Sister Shiyue!"
Zhang Qinglong touched the back of his head and said, "My fault! I'll drink a glass of wine as punishment."
After saying that, he picked up the white wine glass and drank it.
Wang Yan smiled and said, "No wonder you envy Captain Chen. Let's not even talk about Captain Chen's skills, he's also such a great finder! Not only is he young and beautiful, but he's also a college student!"
"That's right." Qian Wenwen nodded. "Sister-in-law is not only beautiful and well-educated, but she also cooks delicious meals!"
Xu Li agreed: "Yes, yes, yes! Sister Shiyue also knows how to dress up. This dress is so beautiful!"
This was the general background of the times. Even though the sisters-in-law in the family compound were wealthier than those in the repair camp before, at most they would replace their bulky handmade cotton coats with knitted sweaters.
The sisters-in-law who have nothing to do really knit sweaters into flowers. I’m not talking about the colors of the yarn, but the styles and designs of the sweaters.
But no matter how expensive it is, the sweater you knit yourself still looks a bit tacky.
The sisters-in-law in the front courtyard spend the winter by wearing cotton coats and trousers over their autumn clothes and trousers, and then wearing thin jackets over the cotton coats and trousers.
In fact, the purpose of wearing autumn clothes and autumn pants as well as single clothes and pants outside is to prevent cotton clothes and pants from getting dirty.
Because cotton-padded clothes and trousers are difficult to dry after washing, and many people only wear one set of cotton-padded clothes and trousers throughout the winter, they are basically not washed.
Also, because the cotton coat and trousers are too big and not close-fitting, I wear a set of long-sleeved shirts and long-trousers inside to keep warm.
You will also wear long-sleeved shirts and long trousers under the sweater and trousers, and a coat on the outside, which will also make you look bloated.
Everyone was wearing baggy clothes, so Jiang Shiyue looked a little different.
Before she came back, she wasn't sure how cold it would be, so she made some preparations.
First, I bought two sets of autumn clothes and asked Liu Xian, who was good at sewing, to help me sew the two sets together and stuff a layer of cotton in the seam.
This is also called cotton-padded clothes and trousers, but it is much thinner than ordinary cotton-padded clothes and trousers, more close-fitting, convenient for movement, and not so bloated.
Another thing is that I found some soft and warm fabrics and made a set of close-fitting warm underwear according to my body size.
She made herself two sets of cotton coats and pants, both in the autumn and winter versions, and also two sets of warm underwear.
Of course Yangyang and Chen Shanhe are also involved.
Unexpectedly, the heating in the family compound was quite powerful. Jiang Shiyue only wore a layer of warm underwear at home, so compared with the people present, she certainly looked slim and beautiful.
After chatting for a while, the sisters-in-law gradually became the main focus of the conversation.
Jiang Shiyue noticed that Qian Wenwen was obviously talkative and her words were somewhat thoughtless. Wang Yan was the exact opposite, very smooth-talking, never letting anyone get away with anything, and often had to make amends for Qian Wenwen.
The two people should have a good relationship.
Xu Li, on the other hand, listened more and spoke less, and her presence was very low.
Moreover, Jiang Shiyue felt that Xu Li seemed to be more interested in chatting with Chen Shanhe and the others.
When Chen Shanhe and the other men were chatting, Xu Li would occasionally interject a few words, but when the sisters-in-law were chatting, Xu Li didn't say a word.
"Sister-in-law, although this is the first time we meet, we've heard a lot about you," Qian Wenwen said to Jiang Shiyue. "You're the only sister-in-law from Yincheng who joined the army to get into college! You're amazing!"
Wang Yan nodded, "Yes! Before Sister Shiyue came, Sister Wenwen was the most educated among us sisters-in-law!"
Qian Wenwen is a high school student.
Qian Wenwen shook her head. "I'm not the most educated person." She raised her chin slightly and gestured in Xu Li's direction. "You probably don't know that Sister Lili is also a college student! It's just that she rarely interacts with us, so not many people know about it."
Xu Li was surprised to be called out so suddenly. She was slightly startled, then smiled shyly. "How can I be considered a college student? I just studied at a junior college."
“Colleges also belong to college students.”
Xu Li shook her head and brought the topic back to Jiang Shiyue. "I can't compare with Sister Shiyue. Mine is just a small school, but Sister Shiyue is amazing! She went to a prestigious university."
Jiang Shiyue was the protagonist today, so naturally there was a lot of compliments and praises. The meal was a great enjoyment for both the host and the guests.
After seeing off the guests, Jiang Shiyue and Chen Shanhe cleaned up the mess together.
Family dinners are like this: when you entertain guests, you have to buy a lot of dishes, cook them, and then wash a lot of dishes after they’re cooked and eaten.
Jiang Shiyue doesn't hate cooking, but she really doesn't like washing dishes.
In fact, Chen Shanhe took care of most of the housework, and the most thing Jiang Shiyue did behind him was to chat with him.
"Chen Shanhe, are you not on good terms with your comrades?"
Chen Shanhe shook his head. "How can we say our relationship is bad? Even if Yao Tengfei used to be a bad person, I would still turn my back on him if we were on the battlefield."
Jiang Shiyue thought about it and agreed. Their profession is different from ordinary professions.
If you get along well with colleagues in general professions, spend more time together. If you don’t get along well, then they are just work friends. After get off work, you may meet each other but pretend not to see each other.
But Chen Shanhe is different. They have to face the outside world. When their lives are in danger, the comrades around them are the most reliable.
She thought for a moment and changed the question, "How do you get along with each other in your daily work and life?"
Chen Shanhe didn't answer directly. "Human nature is complex, and personalities vary. Some people get along, and some don't. As long as you can save face and not let down on important matters, that's good enough."
Jiang Shiyue: “…”
"Chen Shanhe, after you retire from the army, why don't you go into diplomacy or public relations?"
A leading figure in nonsense literature.
Chen Shanhe smiled.
"Chen Shanhe."
"Um."
"Have you ever eaten at another captain's house?"
"I have been there, what's wrong?"
"How are those sisters-in-law?"
Chen Shanhe tilted his head and thought for a moment, then shook his head, "I didn't pay much attention. Everything is fine, right? What's wrong?"
Jiang Shiyue leaned his hands on the wall behind him and said, "I think that sister-in-law Xu Li is quite interesting."
