The two families gathered together for dinner, and there were many people and they ate a lot.
Since the food was not enough, Shiqi decided to make more.
Not knowing whether Jiang Chen and the others would drink, Shi Qi took out the peanuts he had bought and kept the pastry ready.
If Jiang Chen drinks later, this will be a snack to go with it.
Wash the eggplants you just bought.
After making the cuts, Shi Qi cut some more minced meat, intending to make another dish of minced meat and eggplant.
She often makes this dish in modern times. It is flavorful and goes well with rice.
Braised pork, spicy fish, pork with preserved vegetables, minced meat and eggplant, cold-mixed cowpea, fried peanuts, stir-fried water spinach, and a tomato and egg soup.
All done.
This amount of food is enough for the five of them.
Prepare the dishes.
Shiqi shook the water off his hands and walked out of the kitchen.
Gu Chijin had already picked the cowpeas and placed them on a plate.
Now, he was sitting at the table, peeling garlic cloves with his back straight.
With his long, bony fingers, he pinched a small clove of garlic and, with a serious expression on his face, simply tore off the garlic skin.
The serious look on his face with a frown on his face made Shi Qi feel that what he was holding in his hand was not the condiments for the dinner table later, but a letter of provocation from the enemy.
"You peel it first, peel more, you will need it later."
After shouting something malicious at Gu Chijin, Shi Qi took off her apron, put on her shoes and went out.
Gu Chijin looked down at the garlic in his hand, then looked up at Shi Qi's back.
Something's not right.
Why does he feel like he's been cheated?
Bai Xiaohua didn't wait for Shi Qi this morning, and he felt uneasy all morning.
My mind was full of Shi Qi going home last night and telling Captain Gu about his business.
The scene of Captain Gu arguing with her angrily.
The more I think about it, the more frightened I become.
After playing with the child in the yard for a while, Bai Xiaohua couldn't help but want to go to Shi Qi's house.
Then I thought about it and felt it was inappropriate.
Captain Gu and Shi Qi are husband and wife. It is normal for them to quarrel if something happens.
If she went there, Captain Gu would misunderstand that she was there to support Shi Qi.
Isn't that adding fuel to the fire?
After hesitating for a long time, Bai Xiaohua still did not leave the yard.
She thought to herself that if Shiqi didn't come tomorrow, she would go over to check on the situation.
Bai Xiaohua was preoccupied with something and was absent-minded when playing with his son.
Shi Qi walked along and met a few military wives whom he had met by the pond yesterday. He greeted them with a smile.
As we approached Bai Xiaohua's house, we could hear her and her children's laughter from a long distance away.
Approaching the yard, Shiqi shouted through the door:
"Sister-in-law, I'm here."
Bai Xiaohua was playing with sand with her child. When she heard the sound, she stood up and opened the door.
Seeing Shi Qi, Bai Xiaohua's eyes lit up and he asked hurriedly:
"Sister Shi, why did you come here just now?
Were you delayed this morning?"
Shi Qi walked into the yard and explained with a smile:
“I caught a cold yesterday and had a fever in the middle of the night.
I took the medicine in the middle of the night and slept until after ten o'clock this morning.
I had breakfast a little late, so I didn’t come.”
“Ouch, what’s going on?
Why do you have a fever for no reason? "
Bai Xiaohua brought the person over and looked him over carefully:
"Do you feel better now?
My sister-in-law still has some antipyretic medicine at home, which was left over from the last time Haohao had a fever.
If you don’t mind, try it.”
Bai Xiaohua is warm and kind-hearted, and cannot stand anyone around him having even the slightest flaw.
What's more, after spending these two days together, she already regarded Shi Qi as her own sister.
I don't want to see her suffer.
Shi Qi held Bai Xiaohua's hands, his eyes clear and full of emotion:
"Thank you, sister-in-law. I'm almost well now and don't need to take medicine anymore."
The two of them walked into the house while talking. When they were almost in front of the sewing machine, Shiqi stopped and said:
"By the way, sister-in-law, don't cook dinner tonight.
Come to my house for dinner with Brother Jiang later."
This time, inviting Jiang Chen and Bai Xiaohua to dinner was not a sudden idea.
Shi Qi got to know Jiang Feng through Bai Xiaohua's relationship, and Jiang Chen visited Gu Chijin at home many times.
She always brings something with her. For both official and private reasons, she and Gu Chijin should treat everyone to this meal.
Bai Xiaohua, how could I agree?
"You're at home taking care of Captain Gu every day, so how can you spare time for other things?
Jiang Chen and I won’t bother you anymore.
As for dinner, we'll make an appointment after Captain Gu's leg heals."
Bai Xiaohua, directly refused.
In the military family compound, Bai Xiaohua also interacted with other military wives.
But I never eat at other places casually.
Firstly, most military wives are under pressure at home.
The family relies on the meager allowance from the husband, who not only has to take care of himself and the children, but also has to send money back home to the elderly. They live a tight life.
She didn't want to burden others anymore.
Second, she has a picky mouth.
Before she got married, her family was well-off. Although her food and clothing were not the best, they were much better off than most of the military wives who came from the countryside and lived in the military compound.
Eighty percent of the military wives in the military family compound are from rural areas.
I don't have any particular requirements for food.
The food I cook is fine as long as it can fill my stomach.
But she couldn't stand it. The food she put into her mouth had to be not only clean but also delicious.
This also led to her being generous and helpful in the community, and everyone liked her, but she rarely went to other people's homes for dinner.
Otherwise you won’t go hungry and also feel like you’ve done someone a favor in vain.
Shiqi warmly invites:
"Sister-in-law, I have prepared the food.
If you and Brother Jiang don't go, Gu Chijin and I won't be able to finish it.
Wouldn’t it spoil at home?”
In the 1980s, food waste was a serious issue.
In the past, the original owner took Gu Chijin’s allowance and went into the city to squander it.
