My little country wife whom I haven't seen for eight years has come to join the army

He wanted to prove it, but how could he prove it? As they stared at each other, Zhou Ruoyu's clear, crisp voice saved his life: "Is dinner ready? Captain Chen, Brother Zhu, would you like some wine?"

There's still wine? Captain Chen curled his eyes and said, "Okay, Xiao Zhu, drink with me!"

The wine was brought by Lu Fuxiang from his hometown. It was a homemade liquor. As soon as the lid was opened, the mellow aroma filled the air.

"Yes, it's good wine." Captain Chen sat down at the table with great satisfaction. "Lu Qinchuan, would you like some?"

Principal Wu patted him on the shoulder and said, "He's still recovering from his illness, how can he drink?"

"A woman's opinion is not that delicate. Just pour yourself as much as you can drink." Captain Chen's tone did not allow Lu Qinchuan to argue.

Captain Zhu helped Lu Qinchuan sit down. Lu Qinchuan didn't want to spoil Captain Chen's fun, so he poured himself a small cup and placed it in front of him.

"That's right, these are the soldiers brought by me, Chen Guozheng!" Chen Guozheng was very satisfied and was particularly happy looking at the tall and handsome Lu Qinchuan.

"Boiled fish is here!" Zhou Ruoyu brought a large enamel basin of boiled fish and placed it in the middle of the table.

Principal Wu looked at the boiled fish covered in red oil and asked in confusion, "Comrade Xiao Zhou, how did you cook this dish?"

It was normal to be doubted by others. The original owner was just a girl born and raised in the countryside. Apart from her fair skin and beautiful appearance, everything else about her was ordinary.

Moreover, transportation was not well developed back then, so it was impossible to eat food with Sichuan and Chongqing flavors. But now, the strange thing is that not only does she know how to boil fish, but she can even make the taste of her hometown.

It was just a lie, she blurted out, "We're calling on educated youth to go to the countryside. There have been quite a few of them in the village in the past two years. I learned this from a sister who was one of them. Her mother is from Sichuan and cooks excellent Sichuan cuisine."

"No wonder, the smell reminds me of the taste of my hometown."

Principal Wu is from Sichuan, but as the army fought in battles all over the country, she has become a true northerner.

"Then please try it quickly, and don't let me show my fear in front of you."

After hearing about Principal Wu's ancestral home, Zhou Ruoyu started joking.

In fact, the Sichuan cuisine she learned from watching videos was already a modified version, but it was more suitable for the general public's taste.

"Come on, everyone, sit down. Shufen, don't be busy." Principal Wu took the initiative and asked Zhou Ruoyu and Zhou Shufen to come and eat together.

Zhou Ruoyu wiped her hands and said, "I made fish soup with the fish head. I also have to thank Brother Zhu and Sister Zhou for helping me grow cabbage in the yard, which is perfect for making fish soup."

After that, Zhou Shufen brought the fish soup over. The milky white broth was topped with tender green cabbage leaves, creating a sharp contrast with the heavily oiled and dark-colored boiled fish. Together, they looked even more delicious.

Company Captain Zhu rubbed his hands and laughed, "So this thing is boiled fish. No wonder Old Lu couldn't forget this dish even when he was in the hospital. He asked me to make boiled fish, and I actually boiled a fish in water. Hahahaha."

This made Captain Chen and Principal Wu burst into laughter, and the atmosphere became extremely lively.

Captain Chen suddenly had an idea: "Since we have good wine and good food today, let's not spoil the fun and have a drink!"

Zhou Ruoyu is fine. He entertains clients all day long. He can drink a lot and has the courage to do so.

So she responded generously: "Okay, it's rare that Captain Chen and Principal Wu are here today, so it's normal to be happy."

Zhou Shufen had never drunk alcohol, but after Captain Zhu raised his eyebrows slightly to hint, she reluctantly agreed.

Not to mention Principal Wu, he and Captain Chen usually take a few sips of it at home.

After drinking the first glass of wine, Zhou Ruoyu felt her face burning. It seemed that alcohol was not very friendly to the original owner. So she drank less. Perhaps the alcohol content of this homemade liquor was too high and could not be compared with the liquor in modern society. It was not suitable for a girl like her.

Not to mention that she secretly comforted herself, and looked at the other four people, who had already launched an attack on the large pot of boiled fish.

Captain Chen was well-informed and had naturally eaten boiled fish before. He praised it, saying, "It's better than anything I've had. It's not too numbing, but a bit spicier, which is more suitable for people like us in the north."

Principal Wu, the most qualified commentator, nodded repeatedly after eating a few pieces of fish fillet. "I feel a little sorry for my ancestors, but I have to say, this fish is even more delicious than the one back home. The fish fillet is evenly sliced, tender and smooth."

Lu Qinchuan had eaten the boiled fish made by Zhou Ruoyu before, but he didn't feel comfortable mentioning it again after Captain Zhu's boiled fish failed. However, he would think of the taste of boiled fish almost every day during the days in the hospital. Today, he tasted the flavor he had been craving for and didn't want to put down his chopsticks at all.

Captain Zhu and his wife don't like spicy food, and they are particularly fond of the fish soup.

Zhou Ruoyu poured each person another small bowl of fish soup and said with a smile, "Boiled fish is always oily. I didn't add any oil to this fish soup, so it's very light and just right for relieving the greasiness."

There was endless praise again. Zhou Ruoyu even became so arrogant that she wanted to give up making dresses and open a restaurant instead. Just these two dishes could probably support an entire Sichuan restaurant.

"Come, let's toast to Comrade Xiao Zhou. Thank you for your hard work." Captain Chen raised his glass.

Zhou Shufen drank the second cup with a twitching face, but she was in very good condition, her rosy face added some charm.

Zhou Ruoyu hesitated for a moment. After all, she didn’t feel particularly good when she drank the first cup.

"If you can't drink it, give it to me." Lu Qinchuan reached out to her for the cup in his hand.

Company Commander Zhu started to make fun of it: "That won't do. My wife can drink, so yours can drink too. If you still protect your wife at home, be careful or I'll go to the company tomorrow and tell everyone about you!"

Captain Chen laughed and said, "Xiao Zhu is right. We haven't even had the wedding banquet yet, but we should toast to the bride. We must drink."

Unable to refuse, Zhou Ruoyu smiled faintly, picked up the wine glass with two slender fingers, tilted her head back and drank it. Fortunately, the burning sensation was gone.

She gave Lu Qinchuan a look that said "It's okay, I'm fine", and smiled faintly as she helped Captain Chen serve another bowl of fish soup.

"Hey, why are the young couple still exchanging glances? What's there that they can't say in front of us? Why don't you two just drink a cup of wine together?" Zhou Shufen raised her voice by two notches because she had been drinking.

Captain Zhu grinned upon hearing this: "That's a great idea! They're already married, and they haven't even had a toast to represent their revolutionary friendship in front of their superiors and comrades yet. They have to drink three cups."

Captain Chen also looked at Lu Qinchuan with a burning gaze: "Then Xiao Zhu and I will be the representatives."

It seems that this wine must be drunk. Zhou Ruoyu was also generous: "It's just three cups, it won't be difficult for me."

When the two men came together with their glasses in hand, Lu Qinchuan whispered, "It was Old Zhu who started all this trouble. You don't have to drink."

Zhou Ruoyu smiled sweetly: "It's okay, we haven't had a cup of wedding wine yet."

It was obvious that the alcohol had emboldened the bear man's courage, Lu Qinchuan thought to himself.

When drinking the wedding wine, the two of them must be very close. There was a seductive blush on her face, and her curled eyelashes brushed the softest part of his heart like a small fan, and the blood in his chest surged again.
