There are two kinds of hot pot base, old hen soup and spicy butter hot pot.

Qi Sisi thought that the elders, as they were older, would prefer nourishing and rich chicken soup, but unexpectedly, they preferred spicy hot pot.

Even though he was panting heavily from the spiciness, his face was covered with sweat, and tears and snot were flowing, he still used chopsticks to move towards the hot pot with determination.

"Dad, Mom, take it easy!"

It's hard for other people to persuade Qi Sisi, but her own parents always persuade her.

"Hey, this pot was a bit spicy at first, but after eating it twice, I found it spicy and delicious, and it tasted better and better!"

Qi's father's old face and nose were all red, and he snorted from time to time, but after eating the beef in the spicy hot pot, he looked so happy that his eyes narrowed.

"That's right, Lao Qi, you are so unfair. I didn't know your daughter had this skill!" Teacher Jiang's face was dark and nothing could be seen. Only from his collar wet with sweat, it could be seen that he was not relaxed either.

"Well, this is my apprentice!"

Old man Liu smiled with a smug look on his face.

Qi's mother, however, was not like them. She put more of her chopsticks into the old hen soup.

"Mom, don't you like hot pot?"

Qi Sisi asked curiously.

All the men at this table prefer spicy hotpot, which makes her different.

Qi's mother smiled awkwardly, "This pot is too spicy. I can't eat it. Besides, I have to go to work tomorrow."

Qi Sisi was in a trance for a moment.

Oh, tomorrow is Monday.

If it weren't for Sunday, a day off, we wouldn't be able to sit here all together.

"Mom, you're right!"

Qi Sisi raised her thumbs up, saying that her mother was the most sober.

Looking at other people at this moment, I couldn't help but smile.

You know, for people who eat a light diet, if they suddenly eat something cold or spicy, their stomach will easily get upset.

Fortunately, there were many strong men present who had passed the military physical examination and were generally in good health.

As for the women, she added extra water to the bottom of the pot, so they were obedient and could eat another pot if they couldn't stand spicy food.

As for the kids, none of them could eat spicy food and they all ate the hot pot base made of chicken soup.

Children have thin tongues. Even if there are one or two brave ones, after trying it, they know they can’t eat spicy food because their tongues will hurt. They run towards the old hen soup with tears in their eyes. The other children dare not mess around.

I wonder if anyone will take a day off tomorrow...

Qi Sisi swore that she never had this thought when she made the hot pot.

"What are you laughing at?"

Zhao Xingyu asked loudly.

Seeing my wife smile so wickedly, I always feel that someone is going to be in trouble.

Didn't you do anything bad?

Qi Sisi's eyes rolled around, she thought for a moment, and then whispered in his ear.

Zhao Xingyu first listened carefully, then his eyes widened suddenly, and then he looked at the leaders and elders present, and couldn't help but show a touch of sympathy.

As for himself——

He was not afraid. Sisi had reminded herself to eat something to cushion her stomach. She also ate spicy food occasionally, so her stomach was in good condition.

By noon, the ingredients for the hot pot had been almost eaten and the charcoal had been extinguished.

Everyone sat in their seats with bulging bellies, not wanting to move at all.

“Very full!”

This was the first time that Teacher Jiang felt he was being held back.

I just loosened my belt by two notches when no one was paying attention. I feel a little embarrassed when I think about it now.

You are already this old, but you are still greedy. It would be so embarrassing if people knew about it.

But this meal tonight was really delicious, he did it again!

Political Commissar Tan was right next to them, so he naturally did not miss what Commander Jiang did. Normally, he would have laughed loudly at him, but who made him do it today?

The eldest brother didn't laugh at the younger brother, he chose to pretend not to see it.

"Hey~"

Father Qi sat up straight and let out a sigh.

"Life is so good now. I never thought I could live such a good life before."

“Ah!”

Several people came over and talked about their past hardships.

......

Time goes by.

The others had almost finished their meals and came to say goodbye one after another, each leaving with a full stomach.

Those kids are more fun.

When they left, there were still buns left, so Qi Sisi gave one to each child and asked them to hold it in their hands.

The boy looked frightened.

"Sister, I don't want it anymore. I don't want to eat anymore. My stomach is going to explode..."

The child begged in tears.

So pitiful.

Qi Sisi was startled, then looked at the boy's bulging belly, and couldn't help laughing. She touched his cheek and soothed him, "It's okay, take the buns home and eat them when you're hungry tonight."

"Sister-in-law, I'm so sorry." The child's mother looked embarrassed. How could this silly child feel that his stomach would explode...

"It's okay." Qi Sisi advised in a good-tempered manner: "Please wait a moment, I'll go get some hawthorn candy for the child to eat to help digestion."

In addition to food, there were also candies. I had originally prepared them to coax the children, but they were all so well behaved that I didn't use them.

Among them are hawthorn slices and fruit danpi wrapped in sugar paper.

Qi Sisi gave one to each of the children present, and gave one to the adults as well.

Even the adults got some, and after everyone left, there were not many hawthorn slices left.

Mrs. Liu and two other girls helped her clean up.

The elite team did not leave either.

Among the invited battalion commander's family members, several sisters-in-law also wanted to help, but Qi Sisi refused and asked them to take their children for a walk.

Anyway, we already know each other now, so we can get to know each other better when we visit each other later. There's no need to rush.

In a short period of time, Zhao Xingyu probably won't be promoted again, so she needs to have good dealings with the wives of the battalion commanders.

The team moved quickly. They collected the dishes and chopsticks and put them all in a large red plastic basin to soak in water.

The diameter of the plastic basin is about one meter long.

It's bright red with a fat baby printed on it, very festive. It's a classic style.

Many families use it as a bathtub for their children.

Qi Sisi has never used this basin. I forgot who gave it to her when she got married.

There are two at home.

One she often uses to wash clothes.

This is new and I haven't used it yet. I used it to wash vegetables and dishes for the first time.

It suited her taste very well, but the other sisters-in-law felt a little distressed when they saw it, thinking that she was wasting resources by just using this old basin to wash dishes.

Qi Sisi firmly refused.

She has a psychopathic habit.

"Sisi, you go up first, we are here to take care of you."

Mrs. Liu dismissed her without any courtesy.

Today they received the money and had a good meal, and they will get some more gifts later. It was really wonderful, and they felt very satisfied while working.

"All right."

Seeing that their arrangements were very logical and there was really no room for her to perform, Qi Sisi gave up thinking about it.

A few guys cleared the table, their movements were very efficient. They put all the leftovers from the dishes in one place, put the dirty dishes near the sink, and quickly started to wipe the table, dismantle the table, and send it back.

Some of the sisters-in-law washed the dishes, while others helped to tidy up the benches...

As for the leftover soup from the hot pot, it was naturally handed over to the canteen.

There are pigs raised in the cafeteria, so these things can be used to feed the pigs.

Spicy hotpot is not a good idea. Old man Liu is afraid that the pig will get sick from eating it.

Those chicken soups are really good things. Even if they are boiled many times, the taste is still there. It is a rare good thing to feed pigs.

"Sisi, I haven't seen your house yet. Can we go up and talk?"

Mother Qi looked towards the upper floor with some curiosity.

She knew that the girl was going to connect the water pipe from her own home today, so she turned her eyes to the first floor.
