Lu Dongsheng and Su Ying had planned it beforehand, to put eight dishes on the table, four hot dishes and four cold dishes.
Under the eaves in the yard, several women were busy working, with people coming with their own honeycomb coal stoves and spatulas.
Some people are mixing cold dishes, some are frying, and some are making soup.
Nearing noon, four cold dishes and four hot dishes were placed on the table.
People came one after another before dinner time. Some brought an enamel basin, some brought a kettle, and some brought eggs and pillowcases made of Dacron.
Of course, there are also people like Li Qiang who give gifts.
Lu Dongsheng worked very hard and made progress in the team. He basically did not offend anyone. Several regiment commanders and political commissars were asked to give gifts to the local people.
Lu Dongsheng felt a little embarrassed, but he accepted it anyway. After all, this was the kindness and affection between comrades-in-arms, and these things and money would have to be returned in the future.
After the dishes were served, everyone was smiling.
...
...
Liu Dayong hugged Liu Xiaojuan and said with a smile: "Dongsheng, congratulations to you. I wish you a long and happy life together."
Lu Dongsheng smiled and said, "Thank you, Captain."
Chen Qi's mouth was full of food: "I wish you two will have three children in five years."
Su Ying couldn't help rolling her eyes in her heart. Having three children in five years was like asking for her death.
Besides, family planning will be implemented in two or three years, and it is not certain how many children we will be able to have by then.
Several soldiers kept secretly looking at Su Ying. They thought Su Ying was the most beautiful among these women.
Su Ying was wearing a red and white floral shirt today, black pants, and her usual black cloth shoes.
Lu Dongsheng said: "Everyone eat and drink well. In the future, please take care of my wife in the yard."
Li Xiumei smiled and said, "Captain Lu, you still love your wife."
Everyone was in a good mood. After all, the compound hadn't been so lively for a long time.
There was a dish of braised pork on the table. Xia Xiaohe's son wolfed down the braised pork when it was placed in front of him. Li Xiumei was stunned and felt that the child looked like he had been hungry for several days.
Xia Xiaohe looked at her son with eyes full of doting. They were there for the feast anyway, so it would be a waste if they didn't eat.
Chen Haiyang shouted angrily: "Shen Xiaogang, are you sick? You took away the whole plate of braised pork. What are we going to eat?"
Su Ying heard the voice and walked over to take a look. Chen Haiyang's face was puffed up and his eyes were wet, as if he was about to cry.
Shen Qingshan, who was sitting at a table not far away, also heard it. He frowned and felt embarrassed.
Other people’s children are all very well-behaved, but my own son has no manners or upbringing at all.
He usually educates this child, but the child has been spoiled by his mother.
Just as Shen Qingshan was about to stand up and take the brat home, he was held down by Feng Xiaojun who was standing beside him.
“Captain, children are like this. Old Lu invited us today, so we should not mess with the children.”
Feng Xiaojun was afraid that Shen Qingshan would beat the child. It was supposed to be a happy and good thing, but he didn't want everyone to feel uncomfortable.
Shen Qingshan gritted his teeth secretly, and Li Xiumei slapped Chen Haiyang lightly on the butt.
"Chen Haiyang, your uncle and aunt invited us to dinner today. We should eat whatever is available. It's good enough if we can eat anything. You are picky about food."
Chen Haiyang sniffed, turned his head with tears in his eyes, and said in a baby voice: "I wanted my sister and Xiaojuan to eat it, but he ate it alone."
Li Xiumei glanced at him sideways, and Chen Haiyang pouted and wiped away his tears: "Then I'll eat something else."
He still felt sad. Xia Xiaohe was sitting at the table where the woman was sitting, but she didn't care at all. She just lowered her head and ate her own food with big mouthfuls.
Su Ying took a deep breath, walked to the table where the children were, and said softly, "Hai Yang, don't cry. There's more food in the kitchen. Auntie will serve it to you. Eat whatever you like."
Xia Xiaohe sneered. She originally wanted to take a pair of outdated pillowcases given to her by someone else, but Shen Qingshan wouldn't let her and asked her to pay two dollars.
Why give so many gifts?
She secretly gave them a dollar, and the mother and daughter had to eat it back.
Before leaving, she reminded the braised boy to pick the braised pork. The braised boy was like her son and knew how to pick the good ones.
No matter whether others eat it or not, she will make back her money by eating it.
Su Ying went to the kitchen and brought out another bowl of braised pork. She did not put the meat on the table, but put a few pieces into each of the children's bowls.
She was afraid that there wouldn't be enough food, so she prepared two or three more tables.
Lu Dongsheng breathed a sigh of relief. This was why he hadn't invited everyone since he arrived.
Firstly, the house was not tidy, and secondly, they were afraid of causing trouble.
But he had to invite her, because he wanted everyone to know that Su Ying was his legal partner, and no one should have any ideas about him in the future.
There are a lot of things going on in this compound. It would be bad if they started fighting.
Su Ying had just returned to the table when Jiang Rumeng stood up with a glass of white wine.
"Brother Lu, I'll toast you a glass."
When she stood up, everyone around her thought she was going to toast Su Ying, but it turned out that she was calling Lu Dongsheng.
As soon as he opened his mouth, everyone's eyes turned to him.
Lu Dongsheng glanced at the wine glass in her hand, then his eyes fell on Su Ying's face. He was really afraid that his wife would be angry.
Su Ying's face was calm, and she didn't seem angry at all.
Lu Dongsheng said: "It is our turn to toast you. Thank you for your blessing. Please wait a moment."
bless?
I wish you will never be in love with each other in your life, and will be separated sooner or later.
Jiang Rumeng's knuckles turned white as she held the wine glass. Lu Dongsheng poured himself two glasses of wine, handed one to Su Ying, and said, "We two toast to you."
Su Ying took it without disappointment and said calmly, "Yes, we two should thank you. We toast you and hope you can find your ideal person soon."
Jiang Rumeng bit her lips tightly, and when she clinked glasses with Su Ying, her hand loosened and the wine in the glass splashed onto Su Ying.
Su Ying, holding a wine glass in her hand, didn't react, and neither did Lu Dongsheng.
He frowned. Jiang Rumeng panicked and grabbed the corner of her clothes and rubbed them hard with her hands. The clothes were torn so that the flesh around her waist was exposed.
"Oh, I didn't mean it, Su Ying, please don't be angry."
With so many people staring at her, Su Ying really wanted to slap her. But if she slapped Jiang Rumeng today because of this glass of wine, I'm afraid these people would look down on Lu Dongsheng.
She took a deep breath to calm herself down, and said to Li Dongsheng: "Dongsheng, go get me a dry towel."
Jiang Rumeng's voice got louder when she heard this: "Su Ying, how can you order Brother Lu around? I was the one who spilled the wine, and I should be the one to get it."
Su Ying: ...
Damn it, she has never seen anyone with shit in his head.
Lu Dongsheng is her man. If she doesn't command Lu Dongsheng, how can she command you?
Su Ying slapped Jiang Rumeng's hand away and reminded him word by word: "He is my man. If I don't command him, who can I command?"
Command your ancestors?
If it weren't for the fact that Jiang Ruyan and her husband were nice people, she would have shouted these words with all her might.
