Forced to go to the countryside, the arrogant young lady got married and became a military wife

There are ten dishes on each table: braised pork, minced pork with garlic, minced pork with eggplant, stir-fried shredded potatoes, stir-fried shredded carrots, stir-fried cabbage, scrambled eggs, cold cucumber salad, cold lotus root salad, and winter melon and pork ribs soup.

Shi Qingqian saw that the dishes were on the table, so she called everyone: "Commander, Political Commissar, comrades, the food is ready, everyone come and sit down."

Everyone walked towards the dining table. Commander Liang looked at the table full of dishes and exclaimed, "This is really a sumptuous feast, Comrade Qingqian, you are really capable."

Shi Qingqian smiled and said, "Master, you are too kind. These were all made by my two sisters-in-law. I was just helping out, so I dare not take credit for them."

Just as they were about to take their seats, a voice suddenly came from the door, interrupting everyone's actions.

"Wow, it's so lively here. Looks like I came at the right time."

Everyone turned around and saw an old man in casual clothes standing at the door, with a middle-aged man standing next to him.

Upon seeing them, Commander Liang and Political Commissar Wen immediately stood up straight and saluted solemnly.

The others didn't understand why, but they saluted as well.

"Old Chief, why are you here?"

The old man smiled and waved his hand, then walked into the house and said, "I was taking a walk nearby and smelled the delicious food so I came over to take a look. I didn't expect it to be so lively."

"I'm shamelessly coming here to eat for free. Comrade Shi, don't you mind?"

The old man looked at Shi Qingqian with a smile in his eyes.

Shi Qingqian recognized that he was the old man who said a bunch of incomprehensible things outside her house that day.

What's more coincidental is that the person behind the old man is Zhao Min, whom she met on the train.

"Comrade Shi, we meet again."

Shi Qingqian was stunned at first, feeling that the way they both looked at her was a little strange.

But thinking of the other people here, Shi Qingqian immediately came back to her senses and said with a smile: "It's quite a coincidence. I didn't expect to meet Comrade Zhao here again."

"Old Chief, Comrade Zhao, please take a seat. It's such a coincidence that we can all have a good time together today."

Everyone rearranged their seats, and Shi Qingqian went to the kitchen to get two sets of bowls and chopsticks, placing them in front of the old man and Zhao Min.

Commander Liang smiled and said, "Old Commander, your presence today really adds a lot of brilliance to this meal."

The old man laughed heartily, his eyes looking at Shi Qingqian intentionally or unintentionally: "Xiao Liang, today I am just an ordinary diner, here to taste the delicious food on this table."

Zhao Min also said: "Yes, today's dishes look very tempting, I can't wait."

After everyone was seated again, Shi Qingqian said a little embarrassedly: "Old leader, Comrade Zhao, these are just some home-cooked meals, I hope you don't mind."

The old man picked up his chopsticks and said, "It's already very rich."

As he spoke, the old commander picked up a piece of minced meat eggplant and put it in his mouth. After chewing it slowly, he praised: "This minced meat eggplant is very tasty. The eggplant is soft and tender, and the minced meat is fresh and fragrant. Not bad, not bad. Comrade Shi's cooking skills are very good."

Shi Qingqian: "Old Chief, you are joking. These dishes were made by my two sisters-in-law. I am not afraid of being laughed at by you. I am not good at cooking."

The old man put down his chopsticks, looked at Shi Qingqian with gentle eyes and continued, "It's okay if you're not good at it. Girls have delicate hands and should be cared for. Men should take more responsibility for these household chores."

As he spoke, the old man turned his gaze to Xu Huaian, with some displeasure and warning in his eyes.

Xu Huaian also immediately straightened his back and nodded repeatedly: "The old leader is right, my Qianqian's hands are used to holding a pen."

The old man nodded with satisfaction, then picked up another piece of braised pork and put it in his mouth.

When the others saw the old leader pick up his chopsticks, they also started eating.

Because the old leader was present, everyone was very restrained and the dinner table was very quiet, with only the sound of dishes and chopsticks colliding.

The old man seemed to sense the oppressive atmosphere. He put down his chopsticks and said with a smile, "You young people, why are you so restrained when I get here? It's not like this in the army. Today, let's eat and chat freely like a family. There's no need to be so tense."

After hearing what the old man said, Political Commissar Liang smiled and said, "Old Commander, we respect you, but you are right. Let's all relax a little."

"Right, right, right, everyone relax," Political Commissar Wen said, his eyes moving as he looked at Shi Qingqian and asked, "I heard that Comrade Shi was an educated youth sent to the countryside. How could your family let you go to the countryside when you're so frail?"

Sure enough, when the old man heard someone asking about Shi Qingqian, he immediately pricked up his ears.

Shi Qingqian frowned, not understanding why Political Commissar Wen suddenly asked these questions, but saw Xu Huaian nodded at her.

She put down her chopsticks and said, "To be honest with the Political Commissar, on the one hand, I actively responded to the call and wanted to contribute to the development of the country."

"On the other hand, I only have a stepmother and a younger sister at home. Rather than staying with my stepmother and being bullied and beaten, it would be better for me to go down to the countryside and contribute my own strength."

Everyone was slightly stunned when they heard Shi Qingqian's words.

"Comrade Shi has a stepmother?"

Xu Huaian nodded on her behalf: "Yes, Qianqian's mother died young, and the couple disappeared when she was a few years old. She has been with her stepmother for more than ten years."

Commander Liang and Political Commissar Wen both turned their heads quietly to look at the old man, and sure enough, they saw that the old man's face was full of anger.

The chopsticks in his hand were slammed down on the table.

The atmosphere at the dinner table froze instantly, and everyone looked at the old man in astonishment.

Zhao Min quickly patted the old man's back to calm him down: "Godfather, please calm down."

The old man also realized that he had lost his composure. He took a deep breath and said slowly: "Comrade Shi, you have suffered a lot over the years."

Shi Qingqian hurriedly said, "Old Chief, please don't be angry. It's all in the past. Now Huai'an and I are living in harmony, my parents-in-law are loving and kind, and we live a happy life."

"That's good, that's good," the old man's expression gradually softened. He picked up his chopsticks again and said to everyone, "Let's eat. We can't waste so many delicious dishes today."

……

After dinner, Shi Qingqian and Xu Huaian sent them off one by one, and prepared wedding candy for everyone before leaving.

Then the two of them started busying themselves again, cleaning up the dishes, tables, chairs and benches.

It took a lot of effort to clean it up.

After washing up and going to bed, Shi Qingqian thought about the old man's reaction at that time and always felt it was a little weird.

There was also an indescribable feeling in the way he looked at her.

"Wife, you must be tired. Let me give you a massage," Xu Huaian sat behind Shi Qingqian and reached out to give her a massage.

Shi Qingqian took his hand, turned around and asked, "Are you hiding something from me?"
