He took a deep breath:

"Comrade Xu, today I actually want to ask if this technology can be promoted to the military, so that it will be more convenient for the soldiers to eat vegetables. Of course, if you provide the seeds, we will purchase from you on behalf of the military."

After saying that, he looked at her stomach again and felt that he had asked a nonsense question.

Even if Comrade Xu agrees, Captain Lu may not agree.

Even prepared to be rejected.

Who knows, the next moment, the other party said:

"Okay, I'll think about it."

When Minister Song left the Lu family, he still had some hope in his heart. As long as he didn't refuse decisively, there would be hope.

He escorted the "samples" he picked today back home.

As soon as he left, Aunt Zhou came.

He also held a bucket of seafood in his hand.

"Niannian, I hope I didn't bother you."

"No, auntie. I'm just bored at home."

"That's good. This is some seafood sent by a relative. I don't know how to cook it, but you are a good cook. Take it and eat it."

As they were talking they started talking about Jiang Honghong.

Originally, Aunt Zhou thought that Jiang Honghong would cry for several months after the breakup, and then give up all feelings and desires.

But ever since Wang Rui was imprisoned, Jiang Honghong's feelings for him seemed to have been locked up as well, never to reappear, and she even forgot about this man.

Not even a nightmare.

If it weren't for the fact that she looked normal, Aunt Zhou would have suspected that she had suffered such a great shock that she had lost her memory.

One day when Jiang Honghong went out, she met another handsome man.

Fortunately, I learned my lesson this time. When I came back, I blushed and told Aunt Zhou that I fell in love with her and asked Aunt Zhou to investigate her background.

Aunt Zhou's heart trembled, she knew how unreliable her own daughter was.

I hurried to inquire and found out that it was Zhao Shushan, the nephew of a deputy commander.

Came here to deliver something to his uncle.

With this relationship, Aunt Zhou felt half relieved.

At least they are a good match, right?

However, considering that young people are more accurate in judging people, Aunt Zhou thought that if the two of them were really close in marriage, she would let Xu Niannian take a look.

When Xu Niannian heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched.

I ruined Jiang Honghong's marriage last time, and she dared to let me see it this time?

He is very courageous.

However, Aunt Zhou only said that she would invite her over for a meal when the time comes.

It doesn't seem like a big deal.

Jiang Honghong is also a grateful, lively and cheerful person. After she recovered, she often bought some White Rabbit milk candies and sticky rice candies for Lu Ze and his friends.

Xu Niannian just dealt with it with a smile, but whether the two of them could succeed was still another matter.

After chatting for a while, Aunt Zhou was afraid that she was tired, so she patted her hands and stood up to leave:

"If you need anything or have any trouble with growing vegetables, come to me when the time comes. Don't feel stressed if you can't do it. Your health is the most important thing now."

"Okay, sister-in-law, take some beef balls back to eat, cook noodles, and put some in the soup."

Take out a pack of beef balls you just made.

Aunt Zhou was holding a beef ball in her hand, and she could almost smell the fragrance:

"This is the first time I try this beef meatball. I will definitely try it when I go back."

After Aunt Zhou left, Xu Niannian rummaged through the bucket of seafood.

There are palm-sized shrimps, a few sea fish, the rare octopus here, and even some dried scallops.

When stewing soup, adding scallops can also increase the deliciousness of the soup.

Take it to the kitchen to thaw first.

Thinking about Lu Huaijin’s birthday next week, I planned to make some fish balls and shrimp balls and save them.

The two have different flavors, but both taste very smooth.

Seeing so many good things, she started to prepare lunch.

In order to ensure the most authentic taste of the beef balls, Xu Niannian used it to make beef balls, vermicelli and winter melon soup.

The fish balls were cooked with vegetables and stir-fried into a dish of fish balls with vegetables.

After the octopus is cleaned repeatedly, it becomes a stir-fried octopus.

When Lu Huaijin got off the job, she hadn't finished yet:

"Crush the shrimp meat into a paste, and I'll make shrimp balls later."

While Xu Niannian was stir-frying the last dish of green vegetables with garlic, she watched Lu Huaijin pounding the meat with his strong and powerful arms.

It turns out that this kind of work should be done by men, as they can do it much faster than me.

By the time she finished frying, Lu Huaijin had already chopped the shrimp into paste.

Lu Ze also ran over to serve the dishes, and waited for the food to be served.

He shouted first:

"What day is today? It's not Uncle's birthday, why is the food so good?"

Xu Niannian took the neighbors around her into consideration and didn't dare to eat meat and fish every day. Usually one meat dish was already good enough, but today she made three meat dishes.

When Lu Huaijin heard Lu Ze talking about his birthday, his face showed no expression but his ears perked up.

Before his aunt could reply, Lu Ze took a bite. The beef ball was very chewy and juice burst out when he took a bite.

It was so hot that Lu Ze grimaced, but he refused to spit it out and started to eat it with a "sizzling" sound.

On a cold winter day, eating a bowl of hot beef meatball soup is particularly comfortable.

Even the vermicelli inside is so delicious after being soaked.

The two little guys' cheeks were bulging from eating so much.

Occasionally murmur:

“It’s delicious.”

Xu Niannian reached out and served Lu Huaijin a bowl of soup. When she handed it to him, she saw anticipation in his eyes.

She smiled:

"Is someone moving into Captain Wang's house? I've been hearing some noises these past two days."

When Lu Huaijin heard this, he frowned:

"Yes, this time it's Captain Zhu of our regiment. He's getting married."

Xu Niannian sneered:

"They're getting married, why are you frowning like an old man?"

Lu Huaijin only heard the three words "little old man" at the end. These past two days, every time Zhang Liang mentioned Xu Niannian, he called her "little sister-in-law".

If I think about it carefully, I am indeed much older than Xu Niannian, and the skin on my face is a little dark due to wind and rain.

Compared to Xu Niannian's fair and tender skin, they seem to be from two different dimensions.

He pursed his lips:

“Am I old?”

Xu Niannian nodded:

"Don't you know whether you are old or not?"

Lu Huaijin said in a low voice:

"That can make you cry, too."

Xu Niannian's face suddenly turned red starting from the tips of her ears. Fortunately, the other two kids were so busy eating that they didn't notice the commotion here.

It was only after finishing his meal that Lu Huaijin started to look at himself in the mirror.

Thinking about his birthday in a week, he is one year older and seems older than Xu Niannian.

He put down the small mirror in his hand, leaned over to Xu Niannian, and lifted her chin:

"Tell me, what do you like about me?"

The weak heart urgently needs the comfort of a woman.

Watching the hard straight man turn into a pitiful puppy in front of her eyes.

Xu Niannian couldn't help but touch his head, then his face:

"Good girl, of course I like your face."
