[Chapter 56 Chapter 56 Blind]
"Well said!"
Just when all the family members were confused by Shen Yuyao's words and a few wanted to express their opinions, they heard Commander Ye praising loudly from outside.
When everyone looked back, they realized that the men had gone off work at some point and had been listening at the door for an unknown amount of time.
Seeing that all the military dependents had turned their heads, Ye Congjun led his subordinates into the house.
At the same time he continued his sighing.
He said: "Comrade Xiao Shen is right. There is nothing shameful about borrowing clothes. What is there to be ashamed of?
Back then, in the winter, none of us had thick clothes, and many people froze to death. Now that we have enough food and warm clothes, some people have become pretentious!
Borrowing a piece of clothing is vanity? Comrade, if you think like this, it only shows that there is something wrong with your thinking!
No matter when, we should never lose our frugality! It is not advisable to judge people by their appearance! "
Division Commander Ye looked at a man standing next to him and said meaningfully, "Deputy Director Wu, we can't just focus on ideological work in the army. The cadres and soldiers should have positive thoughts, and their families should have positive thoughts as well!
I think it is unhealthy to make such a big deal about a piece of clothing! It seems that you are not doing your job well at home! "
The man whom Commander Ye called Deputy Director Wu had an extremely grim expression on his face at this moment.
He looked at his wife across from him, nodded awkwardly, and said, "The teacher is right. I didn't do my job well. I will teach her a lesson when I get back."
Jiang Aiying saw that the birthday party was about to turn into a discussion meeting on criticism and self-criticism, so she hurried over to smooth things over.
"Come on, the food is ready, everyone hurry to the table!
Old Ye, come over here and take a look at the gift Xiao Shen gave you. Oh, I have never seen anyone with such a skillful hand. "
After hearing what his wife said, Ye Congjun walked to the table curiously and saw the longevity peach that had been placed in the middle.
He was also shocked.
"It's really well done!" He glanced at Shen Yuyao and continued to praise: "The craftsmanship is really good!"
"It's just that at my age..." He smacked his lips meaningfully, causing the people around him to burst into laughter.
Commander Ye is only in his early forties this year and is very young.
He is the youngest division-level cadre in the entire military region.
It is really interesting to think about being given birthday peaches at such an age.
But everyone understood that Shen Yuyao probably didn't know how old Master Ye was, and Cheng Liyan might not have even thought of telling her this.
So no one said anything to Shen Yuyao, they just pointed at Cheng Liyan and Commander Ye and joked.
And because Ye Congjun took the lead in praising, the others naturally did not hesitate to say all kinds of nice things to Shen Yuyao.
With this little episode, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became much better.
If you didn't look at Yuan Ping, who was standing alone in the corner of the room, being ignored by everyone, no one would know that a fight had just taken place here.
Cheng Liyan finally "snatched" his fiancée back from the crowd.
He was not in a good mood at the moment.
This was reflected in the fact that he ignored the stares of the leaders present who were obviously of much higher official positions than him, and kept holding Shen Yuyao's hand tightly.
He began to introduce everyone present to her one by one.
But I don’t know whether he really didn’t notice it or deliberately ignored it. From beginning to end, Cheng Liyan never introduced Deputy Director Wu and his weird family member to Shen Yuyao.
Most of today's meals were specially ordered by Ye Congjun from the canteen, and only a few side dishes were freshly cooked by Jiang Aiying, so they were served very quickly.
Ye Congjun was the commander of the 125th Division and the top leader. Naturally, the house he lived in was the best and largest in the division.
Because there were many people eating today, Jiang Aiying went to the cafeteria to borrow a board that the soldiers usually put on the table when they had dinner together, and brought it back and placed it on her own table.
This board is very big. With it, more than a dozen people can sit together without feeling crowded.
Before sitting down, Shen Yuyao took off her coat.
Today she wore a white shirt and black straight pants, and the royal blue cardigan that Cheng Liyan bought for her.
The white shirt was made by A Niang according to the pattern provided by Shen Yuyao, using the fine cotton cloth that was tributed.
Although the cloth was made of cotton, it was so finely woven that it looked almost like silk. It was crisp, white, and had a faint luster.
The shirt has a small lapel. The collar is very small, and when it is turned down, it just covers the bottom of the collar, which looks a bit like the stand-up collar of ancient court clothing.
The beautiful white shirt, paired with a pure wool royal blue cardigan and slim black pants, made Shen Yuyao look beautiful with red lips and white teeth.
Seeing Shen Yuyao like this, everyone fell silent.
Deputy Director Wu glared at Yuan Ping fiercely.
A woman who could afford such clothes and had such a noble demeanor would actually be laughed at by her silly wife because of a coat...
Deputy Director Wu Lianxi felt that Yuan Ping was simply blind!
He closed his eyes angrily.
Then he sadly decided to take back what he had just said -
It's not just Yuan Ping who is blind.
Wu Lianxi felt that he was the blindest person!
At the beginning, because Yuan Ping's father was a deputy factory director, he gave up Ding Cuizhen, the girl he had been dating for almost two years, and chose her instead...
Wu Lianxi felt that it was the stupidest decision he had ever made in his life!
It was past eight o'clock when the dinner ended. Jiang Aiying saw everyone off and held Shen Yuyao's hand and talked for a long time.
My love for her is beyond words.
After seeing the guests off, Jiang Aiying returned home. As soon as she entered the door, she saw her husband with a stern face, as if a storm was about to come.
Jiang Aiying knew what was going on, and she didn't even give him a chance to speak. She said directly, "Don't blame me for this. I'm still full of resentment and have nowhere to vent it! I suggest you don't hire me!"
Ye Congjun was so angry at his wife that he almost laughed.
He said, "I specifically told you it was a family dinner, a family dinner, because I wanted to take this opportunity to meet the wife that Li Yan found for himself. But you invited so many people at once!"
He became more and more angry as he spoke: "Don't you see what the situation is now? Aren't you afraid of the bad influence if you do such a big thing?"
Jiang Aiying also got anxious after hearing what he said. She slammed the table, pointed at Ye Congjun's nose and cursed: "Don't put accusations on me! What does this have to do with me? I'm annoyed! After a day's work, I have to cook, take care of things, and serve this group of people, and then I have to be complained about... Who have I offended? It's good that I don't lose my temper, and you think I'm so powerful!
If you want to blame someone, blame your deputy director of the political office! Who knows how he knew that you were going to have a birthday today, and he had his wife block the entrance to the cafeteria early in the morning.
I just went in to tell her what to buy for dinner, and she came over with several family members... What could I say? Could I say no? They all saw me buying food in the cafeteria!"
Ye Congjun's face turned even darker.
He recalled the situation where Wu Lianxi and others had blocked him in the office.
