I relied on my heart to play badly in front of my husband, an officer.

The next day, Sheng Zeyan returned to the army to cancel his leave with Hao Tian and officially took over the position of head of their regiment.

On the first day of taking office, he convened a general meeting of all cadres above the rank of battalion commander.

A meeting lasted for three hours. After the meeting was over, no one left. Several battalion commanders who had a good relationship with Sheng Zeyan were teasing Sheng Zeyan at this time.

"Deputy Captain Sheng, you've been promoted to level one. When are you going to hold a celebration party? I heard that your family already invited your neighbors to dinner yesterday. When will it be our turn?"

I've been waiting for this meal at your house for a long time. I've been saying I'd treat you since the day my sister-in-law came, but it's been delayed until now.

Since you've been promoted this time, you should treat me."

"Even as the deputy leader, you are so rude. We brothers have been waiting for you to treat us to a meal.

I heard Xiao Hu, who lives next door to your house, say that the food cooked by your sister-in-law and aunt is particularly delicious. My appetite was aroused by his description of the delicious food.

This time I will make you eat whatever I say."

"And us, Deputy Captain. Don't forget us when you invite us to dinner."

Sheng Zeyan looked at the dozen or so people under his command, all clamoring for him to treat them, and sighed, saying helplessly:

"Okay, if you want me to treat you, that's fine. I'm going to go home and ask your sister-in-law. As for the specific time, I'll get back to you after asking her. Is that okay?"

When everyone heard this, they burst into laughter, "Oh, sure."

One of them laughed and joked:

"It turns out that our Deputy Headmaster Sheng is henpecked."

Sheng Zeyan didn't get angry after hearing this, he just smiled and shook his head.

"What's wrong with being afraid of your wife? Do you have a wife? Don't you know that being afraid of your wife is a military virtue in our regiment?"

"Hehe, I don't have a wife. I just want the team leader to introduce me to a wife who is like my sister-in-law." Sun Xiaobin said to Sheng Zeyan with a grin.

His words were echoed by several unmarried officers.

"That's right, Captain. You can't be partial and introduce him to someone but not us. We are all single and want to marry a wife like my sister-in-law."

Sheng Zeyan crossed his arms and looked at the group of people with a half-smile, "You guys are still thinking about this.

I don’t have so many girls like my wife to introduce to you.

But if I find someone suitable, I will definitely not forget my brothers."

Everyone cheered when they heard it.

At this time, the chief of staff stood up, cleared his throat and said:

"Alright, alright, everyone, stop making a fuss. Our newly appointed leader still has a lot of things to do today, so let's deal with the important matters first and then talk about other things."

Only then did everyone gradually quiet down.

Sheng Zeyan glanced at the Chief of Staff with gratitude, then said to everyone seriously:

"The specific arrangements were discussed in the previous meeting. In the coming period, we must intensify our training. New missions may be assigned to us at any time.

Everyone, cheer up and don't just think about eating and finding a wife all day long. As long as you do your job well, I will try my best to meet everyone's requests."

Everyone responded in unison: "Oh, yes, Captain!"

Sheng Zeyan nodded with satisfaction and then began to arrange various matters.

After everything was arranged, he breathed a sigh of relief, thinking about how to discuss the dinner with his wife when he got home in the evening, and a gentle smile unconsciously appeared on the corner of his mouth.

After get off work, Sheng Zeyan returned home.

Bai Youyou was feeding chickens in the yard, while Zhang Ru was out visiting relatives and friends on the way to meet them. When she saw him come back, Bai Youyou's eyes were full of surprise.

Sheng Zeyan walked forward, gently hugged Bai Youyou, and told her that his comrades wanted to have a meal.

Bai Youyou thought about it and said with a smile:

"Okay, they're all your good brothers, so we have to treat them well. But we're running low on food at home, so my mom and I have to go to the supply and marketing cooperative tomorrow to buy some fresh food. Otherwise, it's pointless to treat everyone to a meal."

Sheng Zeyan nodded. "Okay, thank you, my wife. I'll leave the housework to you and mom. I have to take the troops out for training tomorrow. It will probably be dinner time when I get back, so I probably won't be able to help you."

Bai Youyou hugged Sheng Zeyan's waist, looked up at him and said shyly:

"We're married, so what's the point of saying thank you? There are only my mom and I at home! I'll definitely make a good meal for your comrades, so you can go train without worry!"

When you come back, just bring them here to eat."

Sheng Zeyan hugged Bai Youyou tightly and said in a gentle tone:

"Okay, I might be bringing about fourteen people to my house for dinner tomorrow. You and Mom can just work hard and cook a few dishes for them. They're not picky and will eat whatever's cooked."

"Okay, then mom and I will just watch and do it!"

The next day, Bai Youyou and Zhang Ru went to the supply and marketing cooperative early.

Although the supplies in the supply and marketing cooperative were not abundant, the two of them selected them carefully.

Bai Youyou calculated the number of people and decided to order more pork and a variety of vegetables. They were also lucky enough to meet a fishmonger. When she saw the small fish as long as an adult's finger in the bucket he was carrying, Bai Youyou was happy.

You should know that these fish, after being fried until crispy, are a rare dish to go with wine.

In one breath, Bai Youyou bought all the small fish in the bucket he was carrying. Finally, after seeing that they had bought all the small fish, the fishmonger had kept a big fish weighing more than two kilograms for himself, so he sold it to them for half the price.

Bai Youyou happily paid him five dollars and took away the bucket of cuttlefish.

Along the way, she was thinking about what dishes to make. "Let's fry the small fish to go with Sheng Zeyan and the others' wine. As for the big fish, we have pickled cabbage at home, so we can make pickled fish.

As for the meat and ribs, just make braised pork and braised ribs with potatoes.

I'll stir-fry some other vegetables and mix a couple of salads, but I don't know if that's enough for a dozen soldiers."

Thinking of this, Bai Youyou told Zhang Ru about the dishes she was going to make, and then asked, "Mom, do you think the dishes I mentioned are enough for them? I always feel like they're not enough."

Zhang Ru smiled and said, "That's enough. My son and his fellow soldiers usually have a lot of training and a good appetite, but we can't make too much at once to avoid waste.

When the time comes, I'll steam two more large steamed buns, and there will be enough for us to eat." Bai Youyou thought about it and nodded in agreement.

After purchasing the ingredients, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law returned home with a full load.

Bai Youyou got home and set to work, washing vegetables, chopping meat, and methodically preparing the dishes. Zhang Ru wasn't idle either, helping to light the fire and add wood. As each dish emerged from the pot, the aroma filled the courtyard.

Sheng Zeyan led the troops in intensive training. The soldiers were all very motivated because Sheng Zeyan promised that if they performed well, they would have extra dishes at the dinner party.

In the evening, Bai Youyou and Zhang Ru had been busy all day and finally prepared a large table of sumptuous dishes.

Sheng Zeyan also returned with the soldiers.

As soon as the soldiers entered the yard, they smelled the fragrant aroma and praised their sister-in-law and aunt for their skills.

The atmosphere at the dinner table was lively. The soldiers enjoyed their meal and kept praising the dishes.

Sheng Zeyan looked at this scene and felt warm in his heart.

Halfway through the meal, there was a sudden commotion outside. A few children from next door, curious about what was going on in the yard, crowded around the door to look in.

Bai Youyou went out with a smile, called the children in, gave each of them a big steamed bun, and asked them to sit with her to eat.

Everyone was laughing and talking, and the night was filled with warmth and joy.
