After marrying an officer, she was spoiled by the group

"Aunt Xiang, Aunt Ling!"

The two little ones who came back from outside were also very excited to see the two of them, and they came up to surround them one by one.

"Miaomiao, Baoer, do you miss Aunt Ling?"

"Yes, Aunt Ling, Aunt Xiang, I miss you too." Baoer came up and hugged Fu Ling's arm and said, her big eyes looked so cute.

Qin Miao was a boy. He scratched his head a little embarrassedly and lowered his head shyly. Seeing him like this, the three adults laughed heartily.

Five people worked together to make lunch. The two little ones insisted on helping, which made Mrs. Qin laugh: "I don't see you helping usually, but now that your Aunt Ling and Xiangyi are here, you're so active!"

The two remained unmoved and continued to rush to help by doing what they could.

"Mom, it was you who didn't let us help, saying we were making things worse." Qin Miao still knew how to defend himself.

"How old were you then, and how old are you now? You were just a little kid back then, but you were making things worse. Now you're grown up, but things are different now."

"Okay then, my sister and I will help you next time." Qin Miao thought there was something wrong with this and agreed immediately.

"Sister-in-law, you taught Miaomiao and Baoer so well. I will have to learn from you in the future."

"Me too. We are both newbies in this area and don't know anything." Xiangyi also agreed.

Mrs. Qin smiled and said, "Why are you two worried? You two have good personalities, so the child you give birth to will naturally be good."

"It's hard to say. There's no guarantee that a positive plus a negative won't happen." Fu Ling felt that this was not impossible. He had seen it before.

In a certain intellectual family, the father was the director of an education bureau and the mother was a university professor, but their son couldn't even get into university.

There are many examples like this. It seems that every mother looks forward to her children and is also worried about their future.

Fu Ling felt that she had the heart of an old mother, and she would probably worry herself to death in the future.

"A child is a blank slate. The decision of what they will become in the future lies with us as parents."

Mrs. Qin's words were truly enlightening. Yes, that's why there are so many inspirational quotes on the Internet, saying things like you must spend more time with your children as they grow up, and that you can never make enough money.

"Haha, sister-in-law, I'm learning from you!"

"You are still young now. The sooner you have a baby, the sooner you will be free. Don't delay." Mrs. Qin advised the two.

Well, what did they say? They had never used contraception and planned to have a baby once they got pregnant, but the time hadn't come yet, and forcing it was useless.

Xiang Yi said uncomfortably: "Sister-in-law, that's what we thought. It's not fate yet."

Mrs. Qin understood immediately and said with a smile, "Don't worry, this is also about letting things take their course. It will come when fate has arrived."

When the two came to eat, Mrs. Qin took out the bacon that was treasured at home, and the two were immediately dazzled by the delicious smell of the bacon.

They don't know how to smoke bacon, they only know the simplest way to pickle it with salt.

"Sister-in-law, did you make this smoked bacon yourself?"

"Yes, every Chinese New Year I always get a few pieces of meat to smoke. I'm not exaggerating, but the bacon I make with this smoking method is incredibly fragrant. You can try it later. You don't even need any other ingredients, you can just steam it and you're good to go."

"It smells delicious. I want to smoke some bacon, too. Sister-in-law, I need you to teach me."

"No problem, just come to me whenever you want to smoke bacon. The ingredients for smoking bacon are all in the back mountain. It's not a hassle at all." Mrs. Qin agreed immediately.

"Sister-in-law, is the smoked wild boar meat delicious?" Fu Ling asked.

"Wild boar meat, I'm not too sure about it. I've only eaten it once or twice. I didn't know how to cook it then, so it didn't taste good, but it should be okay." Mrs. Qin told the truth.

"Okay, sister-in-law! Let's try it later if we can get some wild boar meat."

Mrs. Qin didn't take it to heart. She thought the two girls probably wanted to try their luck when Captain Lu and Captain Jiang were around.

She never thought that the two would be so bold and brave enough to venture into the back mountain together. She knew that they would probably do the same as Madam Ye and persuaded them not to take the risk.

So Fu Ling and Xiang Yi didn't say anything more.

Mrs. Qin is the chef today. In addition to bacon, the children like to eat shrimps and shellfish, so she goes to the market every day.

I was lucky today and bought some razor clams and shrimps.

They were all acquaintances, and Mrs. Qin didn't care about those fancy things. She just made whatever she had. She made a dish of fried corn kernels with shrimps. This dish was taught by Xiangyi.

The children love to eat and the food is nutritious. The two children are now growing taller and gaining weight at a speed visible to the naked eye, and they look even more adorable.

Others thought that they had a special meal at home, so why was there such a big difference? Mrs. Qin explained that they bought some seafood every day, which was not expensive and nutritious. They only had three pounds of meat a month, and they couldn't eat meat every day.

Those military wives still didn't believe it, and Qin's wife didn't bother to explain. If they believed it, they believed it. If they didn't believe it, then forget it! She didn't indulge them.

Razor clams are even simpler. Stir-fry clams with green onions and ginger, and then make a few other dishes: spicy and sour shredded potatoes, eggplant stew, and stir-fried green peppers.

After making six dishes, I was about to make some cucumber salad, but Fu Ling stopped me: "Sister-in-law! That's enough, there are only six of us, it's enough. Look at the portions you've made, how can it not be enough? Let's just keep it simple and eat whatever we have. There's no need to be so particular, otherwise we won't dare to come here again."

Mrs. Qin smiled and said, "Come, you must come often in the future. Isn't it okay if I don't stay busy? Go for a walk and wash your hands. Lao Qin will be back soon. He always comes home on time for dinner."

It’s true that if you mention Cao Cao, he will appear!

"Brother Qin!"

"Brother Qin!"

"Hey, it's Miss Xiang and Miss Ling! Haha, come and sit down."

Then he went to wash his hands and came out to eat. When he saw the bacon on the table, he smiled so much that his eyes almost narrowed. He strongly recommended it to the two of them: "This bacon is your sister-in-law's specialty. You should try it. It really tastes better the more you eat it. It's not too salty and tastes just right."

"Okay, Brother Qin."

"I just heard it from my sister-in-law. We also want her to teach us how to smoke meat." Xiangyi replied with a smile.

"Oh! That's not a big deal. I'll get you the ingredients for smoking the meat when the time comes. Just tell me whenever you want to smoke it."

"Okay, thank you, Brother Qin."

"... "

The two tasted the bacon, and their eyes lit up immediately after taking a bite, and a sentence popped into their minds: high-end ingredients often only require the simplest cooking.

In this day and age, meat is considered a high-end food ingredient. This smoked meat, just steamed, brings a taste shock. It is so delicious that Fu Ling likes the taste very much.

"It's delicious! Sister-in-law, your way of smoking meat is simply amazing." This taste is really impossible to ignore. Even people who don't like bacon can't help but eat a few more bites. It is very fragrant, and you can even taste the faint aroma of cypress.

Fu Ling's eyes lit up: "Sister-in-law, do we need cypress trees to smoke meat?"

The Qin family and their spouses were both quite surprised. Sister-in-law Qin looked incredulous: "Sister, you are amazing! You can even taste the flavor of cypress trees!"

"Although some of them are not particularly strong, I have always been sensitive to taste, so I could feel it as soon as I ate it." Fu Ling answered truthfully.

"Yes, Sister Ling, it's bacon smoked with cypress branches. I'll teach you how to make it later. It's very simple."

"Okay, sister-in-law." She always does what she likes. She plans to arrange it in a few days and send some home to smoke more.
