Ge Hongying invited several high-ranking cadres of the division, including the home of Division Commander Chen, the home of Chief of Staff Shi, the home of Deputy Political Commissar Wang, as well as the director of the Political Department, the Minister of Equipment Department, the Minister of Logistics Department, and the Director of the Operations Department Li Hansong.
Except for Li Hansong, the rest had families, and those with families in their hometowns brought their families with them. However, Deputy Political Commissar Wang was a little special. The family member he brought with him was not his wife, but his mother, Old Lady Wang.
Shi Weiguang laughed at him, "Others are with their wives, but you are with my mother. How filial you are."
Wang Heyi looked depressed and growled angrily, "Do you think I want to?"
"Son, come and sit down. The dinner will be served soon." Old Mrs. Wang shouted from the other side.
Wang Heyi immediately put on a smiling face and said, "I'm here, mom."
Shi Weiguang shook his head.
In addition to the children, there were about a dozen people, so Yu Baoshan borrowed another table and put it together in the yard, which was barely enough to accommodate everyone.
The dishes were served one by one. Although they were home-cooked dishes, they were well-prepared and looked delicious, so I guess they tasted good too.
The director of the political department is Zhang Zhaodi’s man, and Yu Baoshan is his direct leader. Both of them know how to read each other’s cues.
Just as Ge Hongying was considering how to promote Ge Hongxia, the director of the political department began to praise her, "This is incredible! Sister Hongying has worked hard today and cooked such a large table of dishes."
Ge Hongying said, "You are wrong. How could I cook all these dishes? My little sister cooked all these dishes."
Someone asked in surprise: "How old is Sister Hongying's sister? She is so virtuous!"
Just then, Ge Hongxia brought the last dish to the table. Ge Hongying grabbed her and pushed her in front of her. "This is my sister from my mother's family. Her name is Hongxia. She is twenty years old now."
Everyone's eyes immediately focused on Ge Hongxia, including Li Hansong.
Ge Hongxia lowered her head and twisted her fingers on the ends of her braids in front of her chest, looking like a shy girl.
Objectively speaking, Ge Hongxia does meet the mate selection criteria of many men of this generation. She is more simple and hardworking than the average city girl, prettier than most rural girls, and has a brother-in-law who is a political commissar.
As long as she spread the word that she wanted to find a partner, at least half of the guys in the entire camp would be available for her to choose.
Unfortunately, when others were praising Ge Hongxia, Li Hansong only took a glance and then looked away, instead teasing a few children playing nearby.
Ge Hongying saw this and remained calm, letting Ge Hongxia leave first.
"Come to think of it, Xiao An showed us his cooking skills today." Ge Hongying pointed at the lump of mud that had been placed on the table and said, "This is the dish Xiao An made."
The director of the political department couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Is this a dish? What kind of dish? Mud balls? It's really unique to mix a ball of mud into such a large table of sumptuous dishes."
The irony is so obvious that it's almost indisputable.
Xiao Zheng narrowed his eyes and glanced sharply at the director of the political department.
The other person shuddered, smiled awkwardly, and closed his mouth.
Xiao Zheng didn't intend to let him go, and said coldly: "You don't know anything, but you are still a bullshit. You are quite unique."
Xiao Zheng didn't know what the lump of mud was, but he believed in his wife and she would definitely not serve him something that was not presentable.
An Hua sat next to Xiao Zheng and pursed her lips when she saw him defending her.
"Don't be angry, Deputy Commander Xiao. I just say what I mean." The man smiled and wiped his sweat secretly. It was not easy for him to offend Xiao Zheng, the living devil, in order to please his leader!
Yu Baoshan came to the rescue and said, "It's time to eat. The food will get cold soon. But I want to ask, how can we eat this lump of mud?"
