Quick Transmigration: The Green Tea Mistress's Guide to Seduction - A Master's Handbook

When Nie Shenyuan woke up the next morning, he saw that Xie Qingyu's sleeping posture was not peaceful either.

Today, however, the direction wasn't outwards, but towards the dumplings inside.

It seems we'll still need to sleep in separate beds from now on. Otherwise, what if I accidentally roll over on Tuanzi while sleeping? Tuanzi should sleep alone.

With this in mind, Nie Shenyuan decided to put finding someone to make a bed on the agenda as soon as possible.

Before leaving, he changed the coal in the stove and put some porridge on it to cook for Xie Qingyu.

Nie Shenyuan didn't come back at noon. Shi Tou brought them food, including two pieces of meat, as a gift for their dinner party that evening.

"Deputy Regiment Commander Nie had a report at noon, so he asked me to bring you your meals back first. But he'll be back tonight, so I'll come over for dinner," Shi Tou said with a grin.

"Have you had lunch? Would you like to stay and eat something?" Xie Qingyu asked, looking at Shi Tou.

Stone was intently playing with Tuanzi, and he even brought some candy for Tuanzi, peeling it open and feeding it to him.

Tuanzi took the dumpling but didn't eat it; she looked at Xie Qingyu first.

"It's alright, your Uncle Stone gave it to you, so just eat it. But you should thank your uncle," Xie Qingyu said.

Tuanzi hesitated for a moment, then looked at the smiling stone, before finally stuffing the candy into her mouth.

"Thank you." Tuanzi only uttered one word, but it was enough for Shi Tou to understand his meaning.

Stone's eyes widened in shock.

Although he hadn't asked before, he privately felt that Tuanzi might not be able to speak. In order not to hurt Xie Qingyu, he didn't dare to ask further. Unexpectedly, he heard Tuanzi speak today.

"Oh, that's great, you even thank me. Call me 'Uncle' so I can hear it." Stone's smile widened, and his voice became very soft, like a bad guy coaxing a child, but unfortunately, he himself had no awareness of this.

Unfortunately, Tuanzi doesn't recognize him yet. She only thanked him after eating the candy, so it's no use trying to coax her now.

Stone tried to coax him for a long time without success, so he decided to bring candy next time, thinking it would definitely work.

After Shi Tou left, Xie Qingyu and Tuanzi had a simple meal together, and then began preparing the things needed for cooking in the afternoon.

The vegetables she bought before were all local specialties, plus simple ingredients like eggs, nothing else.

Fortunately, Stone brought back these two pieces of meat.

Xie Qingyu didn't know what meat dish Nie Shenyuan planned to make, so she didn't process the meat. She only cut off a piece for herself and processed it.

Xie Qingyu also prepared the remaining vegetables.

There were some vegetables she had never seen before and didn't know how to cook, but she could still clean them.

Besides these, Xie Qingyu was also considering whether she should go out and borrow a few stools.

They only have four stools at home, so these might not be enough when guests come to eat.

When it comes to this, the first place she would definitely think of is Xiao Qin's house, which is relatively close by.

Upon hearing her purpose, Xiao Qin immediately helped move her own stool to Xie Qingyu's house without saying a word.

"Have you prepared enough food? If not, I have some more."

"That's enough. We'll prepare some too."

"Peanuts, you can pair them with some alcohol. Their group has an event tomorrow, so they probably won't be training. They might want to have a couple of drinks tonight," Xiao Qin reminded them.

"Can they still drink alcohol?" Xie Qingyu genuinely didn't know.

"Normally you can't drink it, but you can during your rest period. You can rest the day after tomorrow." Xiaoqin has been living here for a while, so she knows about this.

"I understand, but I didn't prepare any wine."

"It's okay. If they want to drink it, they can bring their own. If they don't, they won't drink it."

Soldiers generally don't buy alcohol; if they want to drink it, they'll have it stored somewhere.

Hearing her say that, Xie Qingyu felt a little relieved.

As expected, Nie Shenyuan returned in the afternoon.

"I gave the kitchen some money to prepare some food for us in advance. I'll go pick it up later. I'll cook two dishes now, and you can just say you made them." After returning, Nie Shenyuan went into the kitchen on his own.

Coal stoves have low heat output, so if you're cooking a lot of dishes, it's more convenient to use a traditional earthen stove for breakfast.

Nie Shenyuan joined the army a long time ago, and I don't know where he honed his cooking skills, but they are actually quite good.

Xie Qingyu watched him work efficiently, and he seemed to have the makings of a master chef.

Are you guys going to drink tonight?

“They probably won’t drink. Of the group, only Coach Lu has had a little to drink. The others are staying in the dorms and haven’t had much alcohol.” Nie Shenyuan hadn’t planned on drinking from the start.

"Okay, then we don't need to prepare any snacks to go with the drinks." Xie Qingyu nodded.

“Most of the people who came today are around the same age as me. You probably haven’t met Shi Tou and Coach Lu before. I’ll introduce them to you later.” Nie Shenyuan thought Xie Qingyu was a little worried.

"Okay. Is there an event tomorrow?" Xie Qingyu asked, leaning against the doorframe at the kitchen doorway.

Nie Shenyuan complained that there was too much smoke inside when he was cooking, so he told Xie Qingyu not to stand inside. Now she was standing at the door.

“Yes, that’s exactly what I was thinking of telling you.” Nie Shenyuan looked up at Xie Qingyu. “There’s a get-together going on recently. Leaders are coming to inspect the area, and soldiers from other units are also visiting and learning from us. So this is also a kind of farewell party. You can take Tuanzi with you to watch the performance tomorrow. Your sister-in-law should be going too. Maybe I should talk to Sister-in-law Lu and ask her to take you with her.”

Nie Shenyuan won't be able to come back to pick them up tomorrow, so this is the only solution he could think of.

"No need, I'll go with Xiaoqin, or with the other sisters-in-law."

"Is it the drug Yu Lingling mentioned last time that invited you to perform?" Xie Qingyu asked this question.

"It should be, but I definitely won't be in it. I've already refused," Nie Shenyuan replied somewhat nervously.

"I know, I'm just a little curious. Let's go see what it's like tomorrow," Xie Qingyu said thoughtfully.

Nie Shenyuan dared not speak at this moment.

He quickly finished cooking two dishes and then handed the kitchen over to Xie Qingyu. "I estimate they won't arrive for a while. You don't need to cook now. Just stay in the kitchen. I'll go to the cafeteria to get the ingredients. You can start cooking after they arrive."

"Okay." Xie Qingyu knew his intention.

When Nie Shenyuan went out, he took Tuanzi with him and carried her on his shoulders.

Xie Qingyu was home alone. Before the father and son returned, someone came to the door first. The first to arrive were Shi Tou and another soldier whom Xie Qingyu did not recognize.

"Hello, sister-in-law!" Stone said.

The other person beside him was meeting Xie Qingyu for the first time and could only sigh that Nie Shenyuan was truly blessed. "Hello, sister-in-law."
