The next day, Mrs. Zheng came early with a basket of fresh vegetables, including green beans, red tomatoes, and potatoes with the fragrance of soil.

"Sister Qingqian, come and take it!" Sister Zheng shouted at the door.

Shi Qingqian went up to her with a smile: "Sister Zheng, why are you bringing so much? I can't eat so much tonight."

"You still have to stay at home for a few days, so save it for later."

Zhang Lanxiang and A Miao were busy in the kitchen, with the sounds of cutting vegetables and frying vegetables coming one after another.

Mrs. Zheng also hurried in to help.

At this time, the pregnant Shi Qingqian and Yang Saozi were not allowed to enter the kitchen and could only help peel garlic in the living room.

Just when everyone was busy, there was a knock on the gate.

"I'll go and take a look," Shi Qingqian said, putting down the garlic in her hand, and got up to open the door.

As soon as the door opened, Chen Chen and Wang Jianguo were seen standing at the door, their hands full of fruits.

"Sister-in-law," Chen Chen said with a smile.

Shi Qingqian quickly let them into the yard: "Comrade Chen, Comrade Wang, please come in and sit down."

Chen Chen and Wang Jianguo walked into the yard and saw Mrs. Yang in the living room. They greeted her with a smile.

Then we went to the kitchen to help out.

……

The prepared dishes were served on the table one by one, and the house was filled with tempting aroma.

At this time, the courtyard door was pushed open again, and Xu Huaian, Commander Liang, and Political Commissar Wen walked in talking and laughing.

Mrs. Zheng poked her head out of the kitchen and saw them. She couldn't help but teasing them, "Oh, you guys came back just in time. The food is ready and waiting for you to come back and eat it."

Xu Huaian walked into the house with a smile and said, "Sister-in-law Zheng, thank you for your hard work."

Teacher Liang also laughed and said, "This shows that we are in for a treat."

Political Commissar Wen nodded and said, "That's right. Just smelling this aroma makes my stomach growl."

"You guys make me sound so lazy," Mrs. Zheng snorted, retracted her head and continued to work.

When all the bowls and chopsticks were served, everyone sat down at the table, and Shi Qingqian and Zhang Lanxiang were busy serving everyone food.

"Oh, it's Moutai!" Chen Chen exclaimed. "I've never tasted Moutai before."

Xu Huaian rolled his eyes at Chen Chen and scolded him with a smile, "Look at you, you look so naive. What? You don't have Moutai at home?"

"Yes, I do, but my old man is watching me like an eyeball. How dare I touch it? I can only smell it."

Xu Huaian couldn't help laughing after hearing this: "You kid, you still have such a low status at home."

Tsk, it's like you have a high status in the family.

Chen Chen rolled his eyes at him and said, "I have to try this Moutai today."

Xu Huaian poured a glass of wine and handed it to Chen Chen, saying, "Okay, I'll let you drink as much as you want today, but don't get drunk and make a fool of yourself."

Chen Chen took the wine glass, sniffed it, and said intoxicatedly: "This fragrance is absolutely amazing."

Everyone couldn't help laughing when they saw Chen Chen's appearance.

Xu Huaian poured wine for Division Commander Liang and Political Commissar Wen and said, "Division Commander, Political Commissar, I offer you a toast. Thank you both for taking care of me over the years."

Division Commander Liang picked up his wine glass and said, "Huaian, work hard in the Northern Military Region. You came from our Southern Military Region, so don't bring shame to our region."

Political Commissar Wen also raised his glass and said, "That's right, Huai'an, you must work hard and show the people in the Northern Military Region how excellent the soldiers from our Southern Military Region are!"

Xu Huaian nodded heavily, his eyes gleaming with determination: "Commander, Political Commissar, don't worry, I will do my best and live up to your expectations!"

The three of them clinked their glasses and drank it all in one gulp.

At this time, Mrs. Zheng came out of the kitchen with a plate of new dishes and said with a smile: "Everyone, eat more, don't just drink."

Everyone responded and started to pick up the food with their chopsticks.

Chen Chen took a bite of the dish and gave a thumbs up: "This tastes absolutely amazing!"

Wang Jianguo also nodded in agreement: "Yes, today is a real treat."

Shi Qingqian smiled and added more rice to everyone, saying, "If you like, please eat more."

Everyone was eating and chatting, and the atmosphere was warm and lively.

Commander Liang took a bite of the dish and said with emotion, "After this separation, I don't know when we can get together again to have a meal like this."

Speaking of which, Xu Huaian was promoted by himself. The higher he went, the prouder Commander Liang felt.

Xu Huaian quickly said, "Commander, I will definitely come back to see you all when I have the chance."

Political Commissar Wen nodded and said, "Huaian, now that you've arrived in the Northern Military Region, you must adapt to the new environment as quickly as possible and get along well with your comrades."

Xu Huaian responded, "Political Commissar, I'll remember that."

"Old...Old...Xu...don't forget us...brothers...in the future..." Chen Chen said in a daze and incoherently.

After today, Xu Huaian finally understood why Chen Chen never drank alcohol before.

This guy gets drunk if he touches a drop of alcohol.

He was just bragging about how much he could drink, but after taking just one sip he started acting crazy.

Xu Huaian patted Chen Chen's shoulder helplessly: "Don't worry, I won't forget it."

Mrs. Zheng looked at Chen Chen's drunken appearance and couldn't help laughing: "This little Chen, he looks quite capable on weekdays, but he has become like this after just a few glasses of wine."

Everyone burst into laughter again.

Sister Yang also said: "Look at how drunk he is. I guess he won't even remember what he said today when he wakes up tomorrow."

Wang Jianguo helped Chen Chen and said, "This guy is really worrying."

Shi Qingqian stood up and poured Chen Chen a cup of tea, saying, "Have some tea to sober you up."

Chen Chen took the teacup, shook his hand, and almost spilled the tea.

Xu Huaian smiled and shook his head: "Don't brag about being able to drink in the future, it's so embarrassing."

Chen Chen muttered: "I... I can drink..."

Everyone continued to eat, drink and chat while talking and laughing.

As the night deepened, this dinner full of warmth and reluctance was coming to an end.

Xu Huaian and Shi Qingqian escorted everyone out of the yard.

The drunkard Chen Chen was finally carried away by Wang Jianguo.

When they sent everyone away and returned to the house, A Miao was already clearing the table.

Shi Qingqian walked forward, gently held Ah Miao's hand, and said, "Ah Miao, you've worked hard. You've been busy all day today. It's all thanks to you."

A Miao was confused. She was just a housework robot, so what was so hard about it?
