Sister-in-law Zhang saw all the little moves of the two people with a smile on her face.
Ever since Lu Weiguo and Shi Tingyu got married, everyone in the family courtyard had been secretly feeling sorry for each other, saying that they were at a loss for marrying such a beautiful girl like Shi Tingyu.
Based on the other person's appearance, what kind of person do you want to find?
Nowadays, everyone says that it is good to be a soldier, but only military wives like them know the hardships of marrying a soldier.
Not only is he busy with training at ordinary times, but when he goes on a mission, let alone making contact with him, he is lucky enough to be able to avoid injury, and he still has to worry about whether the other party's life is in danger.
Marrying a man is the same as marrying a fake one. Once you go on a mission and are not in the camp, you get sick, encounter difficulties, or even give birth to a child. If the child is sick, you have to take care of it yourself.
This is still the case when they are with the army.
The families of military personnel whose rank is not high enough are even worse. It's okay to meet a good husband's family, but to meet a difficult husband's family, they have to take care of things at home every day. They can't see their husbands at all throughout the year, let alone talk about taking care of the family.
Therefore, being a military wife is glamorous on the outside, but only they themselves know the difficulties on the inside.
But now, she looked at him coldly and realized that Lu Weiguo's new wife didn't seem to care about her man.
She is someone who has been here before, and the atmosphere between the two of them is not what the rumors say.
After all the ingredients were taken care of, it was almost five o'clock.
Sister-in-law Zhang went to the house to get some firewood. In order to speed up the process, Shi Tingyu prepared a coal stove and an earth stove to use together.
There was no firewood before, so one person couldn't keep busy. Now with Sister-in-law Zhang here, she can help light a fire, and Lu Weiguo can help, so there is no need to worry about being in a hurry.
When the guests finished training at six o'clock, they could smell the strong fragrance before they even reached the Lu family's small courtyard.
The eyes of Captain Li from the first battalion all lit up, "We are finally here today. The food cooked by my sister-in-law is so delicious. You don't know, I have been waiting for this day for a long time."
Second Battalion Commander Zhang Jin also nodded in agreement.
He and Captain Li were the only two people who knew that Lu Weiguo's new wife was a good cook.
Company Commander Wang, who was tall and powerful and came from the Northeast, couldn't help but ask Company Commander Li, "What the hell? How do you know that your sister-in-law's cooking is delicious? Have you ever eaten it?"
Captain Li shrugged his nose yearningly, then thought of something and his head sank again.
"Don't I know that?" Captain Li couldn't help but sigh in his heart when he thought of the several times he went back to his parents' house.
"My parents and my sister-in-law's parents work in the same research institute. My sister-in-law's natal family is downstairs from our house. Sometimes when I go back to visit my parents, I smell the aroma of food coming up from downstairs."
Having said this, Captain Li couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
"Just with the fragrance, I can eat an extra bowl of rice."
Only then did everyone realize that the wife of their battalion commander actually had such a background.
However, their attention was more focused on the food that Captain Li mentioned, and they were even more looking forward to tonight's dinner.
Lu Weiguo opened the door in advance because he was going to treat a guest.
Several people entered the courtyard directly.
As soon as Captain Li and the others stepped through the door, they shouted: "Batalion Commander, sister-in-law, we are here!"
Lu Weiguo brought out a basin of crayfish from the kitchen and glanced at the visitor, "Why don't you hurry up and enter the main room."
Everyone yelled, and Captain Li ran over to help take the basin from Lu Weiguo's hand. He was captured by the overbearing aroma of spicy crayfish, "The food cooked by my sister-in-law is delicious."
At this time, several people also looked towards the kitchen behind him, wanting to see what the legendary beautiful wife of the first battalion commander looked like.
In the kitchen, two people were busy. They all knew the person lighting the fire in front of the stove. She was the wife of Second Battalion Commander Zhang Jin, and the one cooking with her back to them must be the daughter-in-law of Commander Lu.
Just from the back, she looked different from ordinary people. They couldn't tell, but she didn't look like their wife in front of the stove.
This mist is less smelling of fireworks and more fairy-like.
Shi Tingyu heard the movement and turned around.
In order to make cooking easier, she tied her hair into a bun, and her pretty face was completely exposed.
Her pink peach blossom eyes were clear and bright, and her skin was pinkish-white, perhaps because of cooking. She was looking at them and smiling, and the pear dimples at the corner of her mouth were so sweet that it touched people's hearts.
Everyone felt that the scene in front of them seemed to have slowed down. For a moment, all they could see in their eyes was that the other party was smiling and saying something to them.
However, Zhang Jin and Captain Li came to their senses first.
Zhang Jin was mentally prepared, while Captain Li had seen it from a distance once when he returned to his parents' house.
"Sister-in-law, thank you for your hard work." Captain Li said.
Shi Tingyu greeted with a smile, "You guys go in and rest first. This dish will be ready after frying."
Everyone came back to their senses and responded hurriedly, even the urge to cook quickly when they entered the door disappeared.
Sister-in-law Zhang saw their expressions in her eyes and couldn't help but puff out her chest.
Compared to their reactions, she was much more powerful.
It's not that these people fell in love with Shi Tingyu at first sight or anything. After all, they all knew that she was Lu Weiguo's daughter-in-law. Being invited to dinner by him meant that at least the relationship was solid.
They didn't dare to have any dirty thoughts, they were just shocked by each other's appearance.
It wasn't until they entered the main room that everyone calmed down.
Third Battalion Commander Chen Qiang is the oldest here. He is thirty-eight this year. He patted Lu Weiguo on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Good boy, you married such a beautiful wife quietly. I was originally worried about you." I'm a bachelor."
Lu Weiguo coughed lightly, "You guys sit down first, I'll go to the kitchen to take a look."
Feng Wei looked like he had seen through the other person's expression and said to everyone: "Old Lu is so shy."
These people were all familiar, and everyone sat down lively without being entertained.
Lu Weiguo went to the kitchen and replaced Sister-in-law Zhang.
"Sister-in-law, go back and bring Da Mao over. The food here is almost ready. I'll just watch the fire."
Sister-in-law Zhang didn't talk nonsense, she still had to go back and change her clothes.
Here to help, she is wearing the clothes she wears for working at home. It is time to eat, so she needs to tidy up.
The last dish was served, and Sister-in-law Zhang and Da Mao also arrived.
Da Mao was stunned when he saw Shi Tingyu for the first time.
This aunt is so pretty, is she the one who makes such delicious pancakes?
Under the slap from Sister-in-law Zhang, Da Mao finally came to his senses and shouted with bright eyes: "Hello, Auntie!"
The voice was loud and clear.
Feng Wei couldn't help but laugh, "Good boy, he's our soldier's cub."
When Da Mao was told this, his face turned red instantly.
Shi Tingyu was going to get some wine, but Lu Weiguo stopped him, "Drinking is not allowed in the camp."
Shi Tingyu didn't understand this aspect, so she gave it up. She said why he didn't tell her when she forgot to buy wine.
She was also lucky to have some stock at home.
This wine was brought back from her natal family. Before the Shi family was sealed, the wine was taken to the family home.
Apart from Sister-in-law Zhang, Feng Wei is the one who knows Shi Tingyu best here.
He said: "Brother and sister, you have been busy all day. We don't need to entertain you. Come and sit down."
Lu Weiguo looked at his wife, who had some sweat on her forehead due to busy work, and raised his hand to wipe her. As soon as he raised his hand, he felt the strong gazes around him, and he put his hand down in frustration.
Shi Tingyu said: "Weiguo, please entertain the guests first, and I'll go change my clothes."
