[Chapter 190 Chapter 190 Eating Together]
Shen Yuyao was the first to greet.
She asked, "Qiao An, you didn't go to the cafeteria to eat today?"
Qiao An is not very good at cooking, and Shen Yuyao rarely sees her cooking at home.
I have the impression that she goes to the cafeteria to eat almost every day.
Hearing her question, Qiao An smiled shyly and said, "My old Feng is back."
Shen Yuyao was surprised.
She had been at home all morning and hadn't heard anyone coming from the other side.
She couldn't help but glance into the room and asked in a low voice, "Are you resting?"
Qiao An shook his head, then subconsciously looked towards the gate, and said, "No, I haven't seen anyone yet. I just asked the sentry to bring the luggage back."
As the two were talking, they saw a civil servant walking towards them along the path.
Seeing Joan, he took two quick steps and handed the two lunch boxes in his hands over the fence.
She said, "Sister-in-law, the director asked me to bring the food back for you. He said he is in a meeting and will not be back for lunch, so you can eat first and don't have to wait for him."
After that, he greeted Shen Yuyao again: "Sister-in-law, Cheng Tuan is also in a meeting, and he probably won't be back for dinner."
What kind of meeting is being held in the middle of the day?
Nothing will happen again, right?
Shen Yuyao and Qiao An both frowned a little worriedly.
The little soldier left, and Qiao An was about to take the lunch box into the house, but was stopped by Shen Yuyao.
Shen Yuyao said, "Qiao An, don't go back. Save the food in the lunch box for dinner. I steamed a lot of dumplings today with three fresh fillings. Since they are not coming back, why don't you come to my house and eat together?"
Qiao An immediately shook her head: "That's not appropriate."
"What do you mean by appropriate or inappropriate? I packed so much, I can't finish it all by myself, and it's pretty boring."
Shen Yuyao knew that Qiao An preferred to eat food with stuffing.
Usually when we make buns or dumplings at home and send them to her, she is always very happy.
Since we meet today, just ask him to come over to eat together, so there’s no need to send him back and forth.
Sure enough, when Qiao An heard that the dumplings were filled with three fresh ingredients, she couldn’t hold back any longer.
At Shen Yuyao's kind invitation, she agreed after a short while.
"I'll take the things back first." Qiao An raised the lunch box in her hand.
"Okay, I'll open the door for you."
After Shen Yuyao returned to the room, she first took out the steamed dumplings that were still in the pot, and then took out bowls and chopsticks for her and Qiao An.
Just as I put my things in place, there was a knock on the door.
She ran over and opened the door.
"Old Feng brought it back. I'll give it to you."
As soon as Shen Yuyao opened the door, Qiao An handed over a bright yellow iron box with two eggs painted on it and a plate of golden snacks.
Shen Yuyao had never seen that kind of snack before.
"I asked you to have a meal but you still brought food with you? If you keep doing this, I won't dare to treat you casually in the future." Shen Yuyao pushed the iron box back to her.
Although she didn't know what the snack was, Shen Yuyao knew it must not be cheap just by looking at the box.
Qiao An walked in carrying the iron box, then put it on the small table next to her. Without leaving Shen Yuyao, she went straight into the kitchen to wash her hands.
During this period, the two of them became closer because of the book and interacted more frequently.
In addition, Qiao An also helped with the work here for half a day yesterday, so he was familiar with the situation in the house.
So it doesn't seem like the initial restraint.
Seeing her like this, Shen Yuyao felt at ease.
She went back into the house and took some pickles from the jar. She also put some homemade pickled cucumbers that her mother had brought over into a small dish and took them out together.
With these two refreshing side dishes, the dumplings taste better.
Neither of them is the talkative type, so they didn't deliberately try to find topics to talk about during the meal.
They ate in silence, saying little other than the occasional comment on the dumplings.
But because of this, both of them felt very comfortable.
They even decided that the other person was a suitable dining partner.
Even Qiao An, who can't cook, said, "When Lao Feng is not busy, let him cook. Then I will invite you to my house for dinner."
"Okay, I'll be waiting then." Shen Yuyao replied with a smile.
Just when they had finished eating and were about to close the stall together, the door was opened and Cheng Liyan walked in.
When he saw Joan, he was obviously stunned.
Qiao An immediately said, "I'm done eating. I'll go back first."
Just as Shen Yuyao was about to agree, she heard Cheng Liyan shout, "Old Feng, don't go back, my sister-in-law is at my house!"
Shen Yuyao shut up immediately.
Soon, there was a noise outside the door, and then a man about the same height as Cheng Liyan walked in.
This was the first time Shen Yuyao met Feng Changyuan.
Her first feeling was that this man was not as old as people said!
Shen Yuyao had heard people say a long time ago that Qiao An and her husband were an old man and a young wife, and that she was much younger than her husband, Feng.
So in Shen Yuyao's concept, Feng Changyuan should be about the same age as Commander Ye and the others.
But when they met today, she realized how unreliable those rumors were.
Although Feng Changyuan is indeed older than Cheng Liyan and not as handsome as Cheng Liyan, he looks like an ordinary person.
But he is tall and has a straight posture. At the same time, because he has led troops for many years, he has a deterrent aura. No matter how you look at him, he is a person with excellent temperament.
It's not bad to match Joan.
These thoughts flashed through Shen Yuyao's mind for only a moment. When she saw the two people coming in, she greeted them first and then hurried back to the kitchen to serve the food and dishes.
She made a lot of steamed dumplings, so she had reserved some for Cheng Liyan.
At this time, there is enough food for one more person.
The matching pickles can naturally be taken as you eat, and just put them in two new plates.
Feng Changyuan obviously didn't expect that his wife had such a good relationship with Cheng Liyan's wife. There was surprise in his eyes when he entered the room.
Then he was soon attracted by the box of snacks on the small table.
He stared at the tin box, then looked at Joan deeply.
Joan clearly felt his gaze, but did not show anything.
Although this was the first time Feng Changyuan and Shen Yuyao met, he and Cheng Liyan had always had a good relationship, so he was not polite.
The two of them quickly sat down at the table and started eating.
Seeing that they had started eating, Shen Yuyao didn't stay outside for long. She pulled Qiao An to the cabin.
So as to make room for the two people to eat more comfortably.
Joan went in and sat down at the desk, then her eyes fell on the book "Pulp and Papermaking Technology" on the table.
