The family compound was very quiet on Sunday.

In the 1970s, there were no weekends off, and people with jobs would rush to buy food for the week and daily necessities on Sundays.

Or they would take advantage of the day off to take their children out to play. Therefore, when Zhan Xinyue and Sheng Tunan went to the brigade commander's house today, they did not meet any officers or their wives.

"Sister Xinyue, you are finally here." As soon as they entered the Li family yard, a small cannonball suddenly rushed over. Sheng Tunan was quick-eyed and quick-handed, handing the basket of small cakes to Zhan Xinyue, and he himself caught Li Yuchen who was running over.

The kid ran over, and before he could see clearly who he was jumping into, he pecked Sheng Tunan on the left side of his cheek.

It felt hard to the touch. Li Yuchen opened his eyes blankly and saw a man's face.

The kid cried out, "I want to kiss Sister Xinyue, I don't want Uncle Sheng. Woo woo woo..."

"Men and women should not touch each other. You can never kiss Sister Xinyue from now on." Sheng Tunan tapped Li Yuchen's red nose from crying.

"Wow, burp," the kid burped and said, "Uncle Sheng, but mommy kisses me every day, and I kiss mommy every day, too."

After saying that, he saw Zhan Xinyue behind Sheng Tunan and stretched out his little paws to pounce on her. How could Sheng Tunan dare to let Zhan Xinyue hold the kid? What if he kissed his wife and she got an allergy again?

"Little Guagua, do you want to eat the little cake that your sister made by hand?" Zhan Xinyue took out the little cake to divert Li Yuchen's attention.

As expected, the most important thing for children is eating. He patted Sheng Tunan's shoulder and said, "Uncle Sheng, let me go down. I want to eat some cake."

His mother was very clean, so when she held Li Yuchen in her arms, she would not allow him to eat, and would always put him down. The kid had formed a habit, and would not eat when held by anyone else except his grandmother.

Sheng Tunan put him down, and Zhan Xinyue handed him a small five-pointed star-shaped cake. The little boy who had just been crying suddenly smiled and said with his white teeth, "Thank you, Uncle Sheng, and thank you, Sister Xinyue."

"Guagua, if you call Xinyue sister, you can't call him Uncle Sheng. You can call him brother or brother-in-law."

Dongfang Xiaoqing wore a sky blue suit with her hair tied up high, revealing her snow-white swan neck, looking elegant and upright.

The kid didn't understand. He ate a corner of the five-pointed star and thought it was very delicious, better than all the snacks he had eaten before. His little head was filled with the taste of the small cake, leaving him no extra space to think. He was too lazy to think, and called out to Sheng Tunan in a vague voice, "Brother and brother-in-law."

After that, continue eating cake.

Sheng Tunan asked: "What is the name of brother and brother-in-law?"

The kid didn't bother to pay attention to him and just kept chewing the cake.

The cake was not big. After eating it in a few bites, Li Yuchen looked at the basket in Zhan Xinyue's hand, his eyes rolling around: "Sister Xinyue, can you give me another one? No, give me four more, one for me, one for dad, one for mom, and one for Aunt Xiaofang."

Aunt Xiaofang is a distant relative of Brigade Commander Li. She came to help with cleaning and taking care of the children. She is very considerate and very nice to Li Yuchen. The little boy would think of her when he had food.

Of course, every time Xiaofang was given food, she would not want it, or would save it for Zaizai. She would also give Dad's food to Zaizai, but only Mom's food would be eaten by herself. The little guy counted with his hands behind his back, and found that there were four, but only Mom would eat one, so he had three left.

Wow! The kid is drooling.

Sheng Tunan quickly took out his handkerchief and helped him wipe it clean.

"These are all for you and your parents." Zhan Xinyue said with a smile: "Give it to whoever you want, but don't eat too much."

"Wow," Li Yuchen jumped up, "Sister Xinyue is so nice."

"Come in first. The dishes are ready. They are all Hunan dishes made by me."

Dongfang Xiaoqing smiled amiably, looking at the five-pointed star, triangle, circle and heart-shaped cakes in the small basket, and said in surprise: "Xinyue, did you make this yourself? You really put a lot of thought into it."

"Yes." Zhan Xinyue handed the small basket to Dongfang Xiaoqing, "It's just a little token of my appreciation."

"Great, that's really thoughtful." Dongfang Xiaoqing took the basket, took out a heart-shaped cake and put it in her mouth. After eating it, she praised it, "It's really delicious. It's the best cake I've ever eaten."

"As long as you like it." Zhan Xinyue said politely.

As soon as I sat down in the room, Xiaofang served me tea and snacks. Hearing the sound, Li came down from the study on the second floor, talking as he went downstairs.

"Tunan, Xinyue, this is Shifeng Longjing, this year's new tea, come and have a taste. This is my comrade-in-arms, and the mayor of Qiantang City sent it to me specially."

West Lake Longjing tea is divided into five varieties: Lion, Dragon, Cloud, Tiger and Plum. Among them, Lion Peak Longjing is the best, and later sold for more than 6000 yuan per tael.

Through the glass, Zhan Xinyue saw the green and yellow tea soup and smelled the fragrance of tea. The tea leaves in the glass looked tall and straight. It was indeed the best West Lake Longjing tea before the Qingming Festival, with color, shape and taste, making people want to take a sip.

The couple picked up the teacup at the same time. Zhan Xinyue took a sip and savored it carefully. The aftertaste was sweet and not bitter at all. She couldn't help but take another sip.

Sheng Tunan was thirsty and wanted to drink it in one gulp like drinking wine. However, as the tea was a little hot, he could only drink three big gulps in a row.

"Good tea." Sheng Tunan put down the teacup.

Brigade Commander Li had already walked down the stairs, picked up a cup and started drinking, "It tastes good, right? I'll give you a pack to take back later."

"Thank you, Chief." Sheng Tunan didn't need to be polite to his old leader.

"Okay, let's eat first." Dongfang Xiaoqing walked out with Maotai in her left hand and red wine in her right hand.

"Xinyue, let's drink red wine today and let them drink white wine. Red wine is good for beauty and is good for women." Dongfang Xiaoqing took Zhan Xinyue's hand and led her to the restaurant.

It's easier to talk after drinking, and people are more true to themselves when they are drunk. Dongfang Xiaoqing thought that she would talk about it after she finished drinking. If Zhan Xinyue disagreed at first, she could cry and say how difficult it was for her. No matter what, she must recognize her daughter.

Several people followed to the dining table. Dongfang Xiaoqing called Xiaofang aside and took out a big unity card. "I'll give you half a day off today. If you want to go to the department store to buy something, you can go today."

Xiaofang knew that he was trying to get her away, so she took the money, thanked him, and said she would come back in the evening.

Dongfang Xiaoqing nodded, very satisfied with Xiaofang's understanding.

After sending Xiaofang away, Dongfang Xiaoqing turned around and found that Li Yuchen had taken her seat and sat next to Zhan Xinyue. She directly picked up the kid and put him on the chair next to Li Xiangqiang.

The kid pouted and was about to cry in protest, but Dongfang Xiaoqing gave him a look and immediately stopped crying. He lowered his head and started eating the children's meal that Xiaofang had prepared for him.

"Come, eat some food." Li Xiangqiang spoke, and everyone started to eat.

Most of the dishes today are Hunan cuisine, including chopped pepper fish head, a bowl of farm fragrance, spicy chicken feet, stir-fried cured beef, fried squid tentacles, beer duck, spicy dried fish, stir-fried chicken gizzards with pickled peppers, steamed spare ribs with taro, golden egg and spicy chicken, as well as two or three lighter vegetarian dishes.

Dongfang Xiaoqing has been favored by Li for ten years, not only because of her outstanding appearance and the charming and coquettish manner of a little girl in front of a man, but also because of this table of delicious dishes. Li Xiangqiang is from Jiangxi Province, which is adjacent to Hunan Province, and he can also eat spicy food.

He thinks the spicy Hunan cuisine is better than the dry spicy food from his hometown.

"Special statement: the views of the characters in the novel do not represent the author. I think the dishes from all over the country have their own characteristics and are all delicious!"

Dongfang Xiaoqing has captured Brigade Commander Li's stomach, and thus his heart.

Anyway, the dishes on the table were delicious, and the wine was the best Moutai and dry red wine. After three rounds of wine, half of the dishes were eaten. At this time, it was time for Li Yuchen to take a nap. He lay on the dining table with his little head nodded, and Li Xiangqiang carried his youngest son upstairs.

Dongfang Xiaoqing was a little tipsy. Under the influence of alcohol, she grabbed Zhan Xinyue's left hand with both hands and suddenly asked, "Xinyue, do you know when your birthday is?"

Without waiting for Zhan Xinyue to answer, she continued, "You may not know my real birthday, but I know it very clearly and I will never forget it."
