Shi Tingyu returned to the house with the bowl, took out the pancakes, washed the bowl and filled two potato pancakes that she had made.
The pancakes she made were relatively large, so two were quite a lot.
Sister-in-law Zhang came out with a bowl after a while when she saw Shi Tingyu, but there seemed to be something extra in the bowl.
Shi Tingyu was willing to add ingredients when cooking, and did not bother with oil or the like. The potato cakes she made were golden and shiny, shredded potatoes, and were wrapped in the fried pancakes. They looked particularly appetizing.
"Sister-in-law Zhang, these are the potato pancakes I fried in the morning. Give two of them to the child to try."
Shi Tingyu heard from Lu Weiguo that sister-in-law Zhang's family next door had a six-year-old son who was already attending the Yuhong class.
As soon as Sister-in-law Zhang saw the appearance of the potato pancakes, she knew that the pancakes were good and smelled very fragrant.
She said with some embarrassment, "What a shame, you said I came here to give you something, but I preferred your good stuff."
Shi Tingyu's words were sincere. She didn't like to be polite to others, but the current environment is like this. Food is expensive, so if you don't be polite, others will feel a psychological burden for taking it.
"Sister-in-law Zhang, the weather is getting hot now. I mixed the batter a little too much. If I don't finish it all at once, it will spoil later."
Finally, Shi Tingyu put the bowl in Sister-in-law Zhang's hand and invited the person out without any explanation.
"Sister-in-law, I still have a hot pot on the stove. You have to continue cooking quickly, otherwise we won't have anything to eat when Weiguo comes back soon, and I won't keep you here."
Sister-in-law Zhang looked at the battalion commander's wife who hurried into the kitchen and smiled helplessly.
Forget it, we are all neighbors. We will come and go frequently from now on, so we can't be too alienated.
When Sister-in-law Zhang returned home, her son Da Mao had already gotten up and was washing his face in confusion.
When he saw his mother coming back, he pouted and said, "Mom, where have you been?"
Children today generally become independent earlier than children of the same age in later generations. Although Da Mao is not as familiar with washing and dressing as adults, he can do it very well if he takes his time.
Now that the weather is getting hot again, clothes are not as three-layered as in winter, so it is better for children to wear them.
Sister-in-law Zhang shook the bowl in front of Da Mao and said, "Here, the new Aunt Shi next door made potato egg pancakes."
Da Mao immediately threw down the towel and sniffed forward. The scent of potato and egg pancakes penetrated his nose.
He swallowed and said, "Mom, this pancake is so delicious."
Sister-in-law Zhang entered the main room with the bowl and said, "Hurry up and wipe your face and come over to eat. It's still hot."
"Hey! I'll be right over."
After hurriedly wiping his face, Da Mao ran into the main room without even wiping off the water stains on his forehead, reached for the pancake and started eating.
The texture of the pancake is a bit crispy when you bite into it, and the shredded potatoes and eggs inside are very fragrant, salty and delicious.
"tasty!"
Da Mao's eyes lit up.
Sister-in-law Zhang couldn't help but angrily said, "You kid, I usually starve you, but I still don't let you eat. Look at you like that."
Da Mao couldn't stop eating, thinking, you didn't make me hungry, but the food you made was not as delicious as Aunt Shi's.
Damao felt that whatever his mother cooked was tasteless.
When the second battalion commander came back, he found his son eating a fried pancake happily. His eyes lit up and he said, "My wife, has the food been improved today?"
With that said, he reached out and picked up another pancake and took a bite.
Sister-in-law Zhang poked her head out of the kitchen, "This is made by the wife of the battalion commander next door. I gave her some cornmeal pancakes today, and she brought them back for me to try."
As soon as she finished speaking, Second Battalion Commander Zhang Jin exclaimed, "It's delicious!"
Sister-in-law Zhang quickly baked the remaining cornmeal pancakes and brought them into the main room.
In the main room, less than half of the pancake in Zhang Jin's hand was gone.
He took a few more bites and gave the remaining pancake to Sister-in-law Zhang, "You should also try it. I didn't expect that Mrs. Lu's craftsmanship is so good."
Zhang Jin knew that his wife was a good person, and good things should always be left to him and his son.
This pancake is made of eggs, white flour, and fried in oil. She will definitely be reluctant to eat it.
They are an old couple, and Sister-in-law Zhang did not mind that her man had bitten it. She took a taste and was amazed by the delicious taste.
"Don't tell me, this pancake is really more delicious than the one I made."
After saying that, she sighed again, "Commander Lu's wife has really made a fortune in marrying her. Not only is she beautiful, but she is also amazing at cooking."
The second battalion commander became curious, "Is it really that beautiful?"
When he was at home, he never met the couple next door. Calculating it carefully, he really had never met Shi Tingyu.
Today I heard people talking about Lu Weiguo's wife being called a Peugeot.
Yesterday morning I went to town with the military wives, and Shi Tingyu's reputation spread among the family members' courtyards. Those soldiers rarely saw anyone, and they all heard about it from their wives at home.
The second battalion commander knew his wife very well, and she was not one to exaggerate.
Sister-in-law Zhang had an expression that you don't know, and she said with a desire to share, "Let's put it this way, the most beautiful daughter-in-law of the third battalion instructor, Old Lu, in our family home, in front of her, is this."
She held out her little finger.
Zhang Jin thought that was it, but he didn't expect that his wife's thumb moved up and down along the bottom of her little finger, and finally stopped at the tip.
This means that instructor Qin’s wife is just a little shrimp in front of Xiao Lu’s wife.
Zhang Jin imagined it for a moment, then shook his head, "I can't think of anything."
Sister-in-law Zhang smiled and patted him, "Okay, no matter how beautiful it is, it doesn't matter to you. Xiao Lu and the others have just moved here and they haven't sorted it out yet. When everything is done, I guess we will treat you."
This can be regarded as their tradition here.
It's almost like a greenhouse.
"You and Xiao Lu have a good relationship. If we treat you, you will definitely be invited. Then you can see for yourself."
Zhang Jin thought that Lu Weiguo and the others had officially moved here, so they were sure to treat her. He said to Sister-in-law Zhang, "Okay, you can go over there in advance to help."
"It's not your fault." Sister-in-law Zhang rolled her eyes at him.
Zhang Jin is not upset. If his wife becomes as gentle as water one day, he will not be used to it.
The yard next door.
Lu Weiguo also came back after early training.
Eating breakfast cooked by my wife, I felt very happy.
Shi Tingyu pointed to the cornmeal pancakes and said, "This is from sister-in-law Zhang next door. I accepted it because I couldn't push it away."
Lu Weiguo: "It's okay. Neighbors come and go often. It doesn't matter if you keep them."
Shi Tingyu nodded and asked him, "Are you coming back for lunch?"
Lu Weiguo said: "I took a few days off a few days ago, and now I have more things to do. I won't come back for lunch yet."
Shi Tingyu's eyes lit up.
It's good that he's not at home. When the time comes for her to take care of the space and so on, it will be easy.
On weekdays, when Lu Weiguo was around, she basically didn't dare to move the space.
This man was a scout.
Lu Weiguo didn't miss her flash of joy, and for a moment, he felt a little confused.
She seemed quite reluctant to have him come back.
He originally thought that she should have adapted to him in the past few days and was ready to make up for the bridal chamber, but now it seems that this matter will have to wait a little longer.
He was also afraid that the other party would reluctantly agree due to the relationship between husband and wife, but he was not happy in his heart.
