Military marriage, after refusing to support an ungrateful person, it is really sweet to marry the c

The sunset is accompanied by the sea breeze, mixed with the fragrance of food, and embellished with the dream of the crescent moon.

Zhan Xinyue slept until about six in the afternoon, and was woken up by Sheng Tunan.

The man half-hugged his dazed wife and coaxed her softly, "Xinyue, get up and eat. If you go back to sleep, you won't be able to sleep at night."

"What time is it?" Sheng Tunan felt his heart tingle when hearing the lazy voice. He couldn't help but kiss the person on the forehead several times. "It's already 6:15."

Zhan Xinyue went to bed around 4pm, which meant she slept for more than two hours. She felt sluggish after sleeping for too long during the day, so she stayed in Sheng Tunan's arms for a while to wake up before getting up and putting on her shoes.

After rinsing her mouth and washing her face, Zhan Xinyue poured cold water on her face. Then she woke up and saw that the yard was full of clothes hanging out to dry and the food was on the table, placed in the middle of the yard.

"Xinyue, today I made cold sea cucumber salad, grilled oysters, eggplant and beans, tomato and egg, cold cucumber salad and minced meat soup." The meat was fresh. Sheng Tunan bought some on his way home.

"It smells so good! My husband is so capable. He has worked so hard." Zhan Xinyue lived a life of having food and clothes provided for her. Seeing the tall and big man having to go home and do housework after a day of training, she felt a little guilty and said only nice things.

"Yeah, it's not hard to serve my wife." Sheng Tunan bared his big white teeth: "By the way, the brigade commander invited us to have lunch at his house on Sunday."

"Okay." Zhan Xinyue nodded. The family compound is a small society and she needs to move around more often.

Sheng Tunan served her a bowl of minced meat soup, which was full of chopped lean meat with some green onions, ginger and garlic. It had no meaty smell, but was full of freshness and fragrance.

"It tastes good." Zhan Xinyue gave a positive evaluation and continued, "Let's take some time to treat everyone to a meal. Just think of it as our wedding banquet in the army."

"Okay." Sheng Tunan filled another small bowl with rice for Zhan Xinyue and placed some dishes in front of her.

"Why don't we just invite them to the canteen to eat and we'll pay for it. It's too hot and the canteen has big ceiling fans so it's cooler."

Sheng Tunan suggested that although he didn't talk much in the army, he had a good relationship with his comrades, so he couldn't invite this one and ignore that one. If he wanted to invite someone, he should invite them all together, as there would be too many people and there wouldn't be enough space for them to sit at home.

"That's fine." Zhan Xinyue nodded. As long as the friendship is there, it doesn't matter where we eat.

After dinner, the couple went for a walk on the beach like they did yesterday. Coincidentally, they met Yan Moli who was also there for a walk. She was running barefoot on the beach with her long skirt lifted up, singing the cheerful Katyusha. She didn't look like she was in despair yesterday after learning that Sheng Tunan was married.

Zhan Xinyue raised her eyebrows and thought to herself, "It seems that I have made a glimpse of Niu Zhijian from noon."

Yan Moli's loud singing voice attracted the attention of many single soldiers who came for a walk, and they stopped to enjoy her singing.

There were also three or five military wives who came over after get off work to try their luck at picking up crabs. When they heard the singing, they straightened up and said, "The Dragon Boat Festival is just a few days away. Yan Moli's program will probably win first place again. This year's prize seems to be a semiconductor radio."

"Yes, after she joined the art troupe, every time she participated in a show, she either ranked first or second."

"I just don't understand. Yan Moli is pretty, can sing and dance well. She was very diligent in pursuing Captain Sheng at that time, so why couldn't she catch up? I heard that the wife Captain Sheng married was arranged by his grandfather in the countryside. How can a woman from the countryside, with no job and no education, be as good as the female comrades in the art troupe?"

"Stop talking. Captain Sheng and his wife are also walking here. Don't let them hear it." Someone reminded.

The pointed-faced military wife who had been chirping just now shut up immediately. Her husband was only the battalion commander, and she dared not offend the regiment commander.

The sharp-faced military wife coughed twice in an attempt to cover up her guilt, and continued to pretend to search in the sand.

"I heard that the military wives will also be performing this time. Are you ready?" One of the military wives changed the subject.

"Hey, it's because the brigade commander's wife wants to show off and requires us military wives to perform at least five programs. It's really hard for us. I'm too lazy to do it. I can't do anything. Do I have to go on stage and perform a spoon flipping show for everyone?" The pointed-faced military wife started to complain about Dongfang Xiaoqing again.

"She used to work at the county theater. If she wanted to be in the limelight, she could just go ahead and do it, but she had to go with the name of all the military wives. Alas, it's a pity that he is the man and the boss, so we can only listen to him." Another round-eyed military wife was also a little dissatisfied.

"She knew I was a Chinese teacher and insisted that I go up and give a speech."

"I was assigned an erhu solo."

“I sing.”

The topic of the military wives gradually deviated. They said they didn't want to be on the show, but those who had already signed up still wanted to do a good job on the show. What if they won a prize? Not only could they get a prize, but they could also win face for their men.

Zhan Xinyue didn’t know about the Dragon Boat Festival performance, so after taking a walk with Sheng Tunan, she went home.

Back in the yard, the couple took advantage of the cool evening to plant the seedlings and seeds and watered them with rooting water. Zhan Xinyue squatted down and stared at the planted seedlings for a long time before going into the house to take a shower.

The days with the army were more pleasant than expected. It rained on the second day, but Zhan Xinyue did not go out. She wrote a letter to her grandmother, telling her that she and Sheng Tunan had arrived safely. She also made some dried squid and planned to send it back to her hometown together with the letter when the weather cleared up.

The day passed quickly and soon it was Sunday.

Sheng Tunan was resting today, so the couple slept in bed until around nine o'clock, and had breakfast at half past ten.

"Tuanan, what gifts should we prepare for our visit to the brigade commander's house?" Zhan Xinyue asked. Today was her first time going to the brigade commander's house, so she always had to express her gratitude.

"Guagua likes sweet food, why don't we go to the department store to buy some candy and cakes?" Sheng Tunan suggested.

It takes less than an hour to drive there and back, and I can come back just in time for lunch at the brigade commander's house.

"I ran into the brigade commander's wife at the department store the day before yesterday, and she bought a lot of these things."

Zhan Xinyue shook her head. "If I buy these again, it will be redundant. Forget it. I have flour, eggs and milk powder at home. I will make some small cakes and bring them over."

"But," Zhan Xinyue blinked, "there is no egg beater."

"I'll do it." Sheng Tunan rolled up his sleeves and flexed his muscles. "I can replace the egg beater."

"Okay." Zhan Xinyue agreed and prepared the ingredients with Sheng Tunan.

It is easy to make a cake. First, separate the egg yolks and egg whites, add the soaked milk powder to the egg yolks, then add a little corn oil, sugar and flour, and mix well.

Egg whites, sugar, and lemon juice.

Zhan Xinyue specially bought the lemon the day before yesterday. Adding a little lemon when eating seafood makes it refreshing and removes the fishy smell.

"I'm leaving this to you. Beat it into bubbles." Zhan Xinyue handed the egg white to Sheng Tunan.

"Make sure to complete the task." Sheng Tunan said with full energy.

Ten minutes later, Sheng Tunan handed the beaten egg white to Zhan Xinyue, and at the same time, shook his sore hands imperceptibly.

Zhan Xinyue took it and started spewing nice words at her, saying that her husband was very capable and had amazing arm strength.

Sheng Tunan was praised so much that he smiled like a silly husky and circled around Zhan Xinyue, wagging his invisible tail.

Finally, pour the egg white and yolk together and stir them. Then use kraft paper instead of tin foil to make several different molds, pour the egg liquid in, add some water, cover the pot and start steaming.

Ten minutes later, Zhan Xinyue opened the lid of the pot, and the sweet aroma of the cake hit her face. She picked up one with chopsticks and shared it with Sheng Tunan.

After eating it, both of them thought it was delicious, sweet but not greasy, and soft and sticky.

I steamed three pots and picked out a few ugly ones to eat at home. The remaining 38 were all put into a clean small basket.

Zhan Xinyue looked at her watch. It was already eleven o'clock. The couple changed their clothes and carried a small cake to go to Brigade Commander Li's house.
