After marrying an officer, she was spoiled by the group

He placed the snacks on a tray on the coffee table and motioned for them to help themselves: "You two, take what you want."

The two children were well taught. Although they wanted to eat, they did not reach out to take it. Instead, they looked at Mrs. Qin, as if asking: Mom, can I have it?

This expression made Xiang Yi laugh: "No need to look at your mother, you can eat as much as you want at Aunt Xiang's place."

Mrs. Qin looked at the two funny guys with both anger and amusement: "Just eat what Aunt Xiang gives you."

The two children happily thanked Xiangyi before taking their favorite snacks.

"Thank you, Aunt Xiang!"

"Thank you, Aunt Xiang~"

Xiangyi asked the two children their names: "What are your names?"

My brother actively introduced himself first: "Aunt Xiang, my name is Qin Miao, and I am eight years old."

My younger sister was not to be outdone: "Auntie Xiang, my name is Qin Baoer, and I am five years old~"

The more Xiang Yi looked at them, the more she liked them. Who doesn't like sensible and obedient children? She was no exception. Qin Miao and Qin Bao'er were not as dark as the other children in the family compound. Instead, their skin was very white, and that white was tinged with red, which was very cute.

"Sister-in-law Qin, you are so lucky. Miaomiao and Baoer have both been well educated."

"Oh no! You don't know, they would have to tear the roof off at home, but they act like a big deal outside." He ruthlessly exposed the true colors of the two children.

Xiangyi doesn't think this is a bad thing. Innocence and romance are children's nature. If Xiangyi has her own children, she won't care about them at home, as long as they are sensible and obedient outside, and she won't deliberately restrict them in other aspects.

"Xiang sister, I brought you cabbage, cucumbers, onions, leeks, and some eggs."

Wow, there must be at least twenty eggs. Xiangyi quickly refused: "Sister-in-law, this is too many eggs. Leave them for Miaomiao and Baoer. Children are growing up."

Mrs. Qin said in an attitude that would not tolerate refusal: "I have five or six hens laying eggs, so there is no shortage of eggs at home."

Hearing this, Xiangyi no longer refused: "Thank you, sister-in-law."

Seeing the two large cabbages in the basket, Xiangyi smiled: "Sister-in-law, you brought me a pillow just when I was sleepy. I just wanted some cabbages and you brought them to me." She continued: "Sister-in-law, you came just in time. I just made some lard and was planning to make buns with the lard residue."

Mrs. Qin had never eaten lard residue buns before, so she asked, "Are buns made with lard residue delicious?"

"It's delicious, even more fragrant than meat buns. I was just about to knead the dough when my sister-in-law came."

"Then I'll go knead the dough for you. You can go and do whatever else you need to do."

Xiangyi nodded. She happened to need to clean the seafood. "Okay, sister-in-law, I'll take care of it." Then she said to the two children, "Eat whatever you want. Don't be polite. After you finish eating, Auntie Xiang will get you more. If you're thirsty, pour some water yourself. The cups on the coffee table are all clean."

"Sister Xiang, please don't spoil them." Seeing how much Xiang Yi cares about her children, it is impossible not to be moved, but she still said it jokingly.

"Miaomiao and Baoer are very much my favorite, and they are also good kids. What's wrong with having some snacks? They can have whatever I have here."

It is hard not to like such a generous and open-minded personality, and this wave also won the favor of the two children. They are not the kind of children who do not know the limits. Although they like to eat, they do not sit and eat all the time. When they see the two adults going to the kitchen to busy themselves, they also follow and say they want to help.

Xiangyi didn't refuse. Children of this generation have to take charge of the family early. Although they are not very old, they can do a lot to help adults.

Mrs. Qin had already started kneading the dough, Xiangyi started cleaning the seafood, and the two children were helping to peel the garlic.

This busy work lasted from two o'clock to four-thirty in the afternoon. The buns were already made. The filling was made by mixing chopped cabbage and lard together, and then adding sautéed minced garlic and chopped green onions and mixing them together.

When making dumplings, the two little ones also helped. What made Xiangyi very ashamed was that the dumplings she made were not as good as those made by an eight-year-old or a five-year-old...

It's... a good blow...

Fortunately, I found my place in cooking...

Even Mrs. Qin couldn't help but admire her: "Xiang sister, you look so delicate, but you are so good at cooking. Xiao Jiang is really lucky to marry you."

She just helped to cut the vegetables, and Xiangyi did the cooking herself.

It was only five o'clock when Jiang Yan came back. Xiang Yi was a little surprised: "Why are you back so early? Isn't it six o'clock when you get off work?"

Jiang Yan greeted Sister Qin before answering his wife's question: "I didn't expect Sister Qin to be here. I was afraid you couldn't handle it alone, so I came back early."

Xiangyi didn't say anything. The man felt sorry for her. Mrs. Qin also saw it and thought that the young couple was a perfect match.

When Jiang Yan came back, he naturally didn't sit and wait for dinner, but started to help out.

The bone soup started to simmer at three o'clock. Xiangyi opened the lid and put the chopped radish in, then closed the lid and continued to stew.

"By the way, how many people are coming to dinner tonight?" Except for Mrs. Qin, who came with her entire family, the others did not bring their families.

Jiang Yan calculated and replied, "Including us, there should be about 14 of us."

"Then you men will have one table, and I, Mrs. Qin, and the children will have one."

"You don't have enough chairs and tables here. I happen to have a small table at home. Xiao Jiang, please move it over and bring a few stools with you." Mrs. Qin thoughtfully solved the problem for them.

"Let Miaomiao take you to move it. He can also help move the stools." After saying that, he instructed his son to go quickly.

When everyone arrived, they were stunned when they saw the table full of food! Their eyes were wide open.

Wow, Captain Jiang’s wife is so amazing, she prepared a whole table of dishes.

In addition to the grilled eel and braised prawns that Jiang Yan had eaten at noon, there were also braised pork, steamed yellow croaker, fried clams, spicy swimming crabs, exploded squid, braised Spanish mackerel, dry-pot shrimp, stir-fried clams, vinegar-fried cabbage, and radish and bone soup.

The twelve dishes earned Jiang Yan enough face. Not only that, the steaming hot fried dumplings captured the hearts of these tough men. Afraid that there wouldn't be enough dumplings, Xiang Yi steamed a big pot of white rice, so it would be hard for them to not be full.

"This sister-in-law is really good at cooking. We only know how to steam seafood, and it's not tasty. We have never seen these methods. It really broadens our horizons, and the taste is good too." Deputy Battalion Commander Qin was so impressed with Xiangyi's cooking skills that he felt he had come to the right place today. His wife could learn from her in the future, and he would also have a treat.

"Yes, it's delicious! You are so lucky." Du Chenyang gave Jiang Yan a thumbs up.

"Captain Jiang is so lucky! I'm so envious!"

"Yes, it's delicious."

He was talking but his hands stopped. He had an inexplicable preference for the two little prawns and peeled and ate them by himself very obediently.

"..."

"... "

The man's vanity was satisfied unprecedentedly at this moment, and the corners of his mouth rose unconsciously.

Xiangyi and Mrs. Qin ate in the kitchen with their children. The grown men felt reserved with them around, and they didn't enjoy their meal.

The two children didn't even raise their heads while eating, but now they looked at Xiangyi with even more admiration, their eyes shining.

"Auntie Xiang, your cooking is so delicious. My mom can't make seafood that's this flavorful. We don't like the ones she cooks."

"Aunt Xiang's cooking is really delicious."

The two little ones are farting for free.

Mrs. Qin rolled her eyes and ignored the disdain from her own son. She looked at Xiang Yi with a smile that couldn't be closed: "Xiang sister, your cooking skills are really impeccable. It's amazing. Even seafood can be made so delicious. And these buns are so delicious."

"Sister-in-law, next time you have questions about cooking seafood, please ask me and I will teach you. The nutritional value of fish in the sea is no less than that of meat. Even kelp can treat goiter and has strong medicinal value."

"What? Kelp can also treat goiter?" She had never heard of it before.

"Yes, sister-in-law, you can eat more kelp, it's good for your body." He continued, "Miaomiao and Baoer are still too thin. Sister-in-law, you can buy some steamed yellow croaker, and this oyster fried egg, which is very nutritious and not difficult to make."

"Okay, let's do as the Hunan girl does. This seafood is cheap, and I won't feel bad if I eat it every day."

"Well, eating more fish and shrimp is good for your health."

The guests and hosts enjoyed the meal very much. The men praised Xiangyi's cooking skills highly, and it also opened the door to a new world of seafood eating for them. After the meal, everyone went home. Mrs. Qin wanted to stay and help clean up, but was rejected by Xiangyi.

"Sister-in-law, no need. Jiang Yan and I can clean up. You've been tired all afternoon, so go back and have a good rest. If you want to buy seafood, call me and I'll go with you."

After everyone left, Jiang Yan hugged her waist from behind, resting his chin on Xiang Yi's shoulder. The man who had earned enough face couldn't suppress the corners of his mouth at this moment: "Wife, you have worked hard, it's great to have you."
