After the treat was over, Shi Tingyu felt something important on his mind.
After the publicity of several people who came to eat that day, Shi Tingyu's good cooking skills were well-known in the compound.
Especially the big-haired children, when talking to classmates in the class, Shi Tingyu always talks about my aunt, and my aunt, and those who don't know think she is his biological aunt.
On this day, Shi Tingyu was going to take a supply truck to buy some food.
The vegetable patch in the yard has just sprouted, and we have to wait for another month before we can eat vegetables.
There were not many people on the bus today, only two or three kittens, and Shi Tingyu felt at ease without being crowded.
Just when she thought she could make it all the way to town without having to deal with anyone, an aunt in her fifties sat down next to Shi Tingyu enthusiastically.
The other party smiled when he spoke, "Daughter-in-law Xiao Lu, I am the wife of the instructor of the Third Battalion. I have something to do here and I want to ask you for help. Do you think you can do that?"
Shi Tingyu looked at the unfamiliar aunt in front of him and said with a normal expression: "Auntie, what can I do for you?"
The instructor of the third camp is called Lu Wenbin, and everyone likes to call his mother Aunt Lu.
Aunt Lu patted her legs and said happily: "Not long ago, my daughter-in-law gave birth to a fat grandson for me. The baby will be one month old in a week. I heard that you are good at cooking. I want to You help set the table so that we can treat the guests when the time comes."
Shi Tingyu refused without thinking.
It's one thing for her to cook delicious food, but she doesn't like to cook a big banquet, and she's not good at cooking in a large pot.
The work was tiring and time-consuming.
And if this sets a precedent, then everyone will be used to having her as a hostess in the future, so that's fine.
If one day you suddenly don't want to say no, you may be criticized. If others come to you, just respond, and if we come to you, you can use your airs.
She doesn't do this kind of thing.
Cooking at home is life and fun, but hosting a banquet is not that simple.
Just look at their family's warm house reception a few days ago. They were busy almost all day long, and this was with the help of Sister-in-law Zhang and Lu Weiguo.
"I'm sorry, ma'am. I've never done any banquet work, and I have to work in two days. It's not a coincidence at this time."
Thinking of a family member who could not be seen without looking up, Shi Tingyu refused relatively tactfully.
But Aunt Lu said: "Hey, what's the matter? When the time comes, you can take a day off and I'll give you a two-dollar red envelope."
Shi Tingyu said: "Mom, this is not about money. I will officially go to work in a few days. There is no reason to ask for leave right after starting work, don't you think?"
After being pushed away again and again, Aunt Lu's face became a little uneasy, "Xiao Daughter-in-law, I am asking you this at such an old age, and you are still like this. You are old and young for two yuan. You only get thirty-six yuan a month to be a teacher." Isn’t this higher than your day’s salary?”
Shi Tingyu pursed her lips, her expression a little cold, and she said: "Madam, I can't put aside my own job just to help you, and I don't do this either. If you really want to host a wine shop, the big boss outside There are many masters, and they are professionals, no better than me, who has thin arms and can’t shake a pot.”
Seeing how thoroughly she refused, Aunt Lu snorted coldly and turned around.
The other young wives in the car didn't dare to speak. Their men's positions were not as high as those of these two families.
Of course Aunt Lu knew that she could hire a master chef from outside, but it was so easy to hire a master chef from outside. Not to mention she would have to give a big red envelope when the time came, and now the master chefs all go to acquaintances when buying food, and there are also If you can get some rebates, it will cost a lot of money to hold a full moon banquet.
That's why she thought of asking this little wife Lu for help.
I didn't expect that this little Lu's wife was so big-hearted that she couldn't even give red envelopes. She normally asked neighbors for help, but she didn't even have red envelopes.
She was so angry that Aunt Lu didn't say a word to Shi Tingyu who was next to her all the way.
The world became quiet, and Shi Tingyu's frown relaxed. It was better not to speak. She was happy in the quiet.
But she didn't expect that this matter was not over yet.
Lu Weiguo came back from training that day and was stopped by Aunt Lu on the way.
Looking at Lu Weiguo's cold face, to be honest, Aunt Lu was a little frightened.
But when she thought about the money she would spend, she still had the courage to say: "Xiao, Xiao Lu, I have something to tell you."
Lu Weiguo didn't remember any interaction between him and the third battalion's instructor's wife, but considering that she was an old man, he didn't leave.
"What's the matter?" he asked.
Lu Weiguo's voice was low and deep. Aunt Lu's eyes were empty, but she was a little happy in her heart.
This Xiao Lu seems to have a bad temper, and he looks like he can control his wife.
Tell Xiao Lu about this, maybe he can get that woman to help.
If a woman is disobedient, it means that the man has not beaten her enough.
With this thought in mind, she straightened up and said: "Xiao Lu, our grandson will be one month old in a week. Don't you want to ask your wife to help with the banquet? I will also give her a two-dollar red envelope, but you My wife is too tired and refuses to agree, so how can you say that you can’t make money by sending money to your door?”
"It's not where women cook, not to mention I'm paying for it."
Lu Weiguo frowned, feeling that the other party's words were getting more and more wrong. When he heard what happened later, his face darkened.
Aunt Lu looked at his increasingly frightening expression and spoke even more enthusiastically, "Xiao Lu, if I didn't tell you, this wife has to be well managed. How can she be so lazy?"
Lu Weiguo's face turned cold when he heard this, and the aunt stopped screaming and said in a deep voice: "What do you mean? My wife is not a cook, so she can't do that job."
His wife has tender skin and tender flesh. Thinking of the previous dinner treat, the three of them were busy all afternoon, so one can imagine the workload of Full Moon Wine.
Aunt Lu said with a look of disbelief: "I won't let her work in vain, I even gave her two yuan."
Lu Weiguo snorted coldly, "Hire someone to prepare a banquet outside. It costs at least five yuan to prepare the meal."
Aunt Lu choked.
Lu Weiguo added: "I can't bear to let my wife cook. You can find someone else."
If it weren't for the fact that the other party was a member of the military, he wouldn't even want to say these few words to her.
Seeing that Lu Weiguo was about to leave, Aunt Lu didn't know where she got the courage, so she stepped forward and grabbed his arm.
Lu Weiguo glanced at him coldly, and Aunt Lu subconsciously retracted her hand, but she still couldn't hold back her words, "Xiao Lu, what you said is wrong. Our family homes should help each other. How can we be so clear? Just let her serve as a banquet, it’s not a big deal.”
Lu Weiguo almost laughed angrily, "I remember Lu Wenbin had a sister. He said every day that his sister would do all the cooking and housework. Let your daughter do it, and you can save two yuan."
Aunt Lu seemed to have been stepped on, and she opened her teeth and claws, "What are you talking about? My daughter is a high school graduate and now works in the Propaganda Department of the Women's Federation. How can she have time to do this kind of work!"
Lu Wenbin's sister is called Lu Wenchan, and she is often talked about by Lu Wenbin. Lu Wenbin wants to spread his sister's good reputation and find a good family for the military region where his sister is.
Otherwise, Lu Weiguo wouldn't be able to know about Lu Wenchan.
Looking at Aunt Lu's face, Lu Weiguo didn't want to talk to her anymore and just said: "Anyway, my wife is also a high school graduate. Besides, I am enough to make money. She has no time and no need to do that kind of backbreaking work."
Lu Weiguo had broad shoulders and long legs. He took one step forward and Mrs. Lu's short legs couldn't catch up.
Lu Weiguo's back could only be seen disappearing around the corner.
She stamped her feet angrily and finally left helplessly.
