70s Xiao Que Xing

Chapter 297
"Why else? It must be because of conflicts of interest. You have to know that although the major military regions belong to the same country, there is still competition among them. For old revolutionaries like the old chief, no matter where they go, they will It's a great thing for a long face. If you can stay in a military region, it will be the glory of the entire military region. It will be easier to recruit soldiers! Of course, the old chief has retired now, so he won't go to any place to serve , but it would be good to go a few more times." Xu Zhongjun explained.

"Oh, so that's the case, let me tell you!" Xie Xiaonian suddenly realized.

The next morning, when Xie Xiaonian was cooking, he added a little space well water to everything to ensure the taste without being noticed.

And this is very good for the old chief's body. Although most of them will be eaten by others, as long as they can be sent to the old chief's mouth, then her thoughts will not be in vain.

After entering the canteen at noon, the old chief looked at the food on the table and knew that it was definitely not made in the army canteen.

So he asked suspiciously: "Didn't you say that you can eat in the cafeteria just like the soldiers? This dish doesn't look like it's made in the army cafeteria!"

"Old chief, you have really good eyesight. This is indeed not made by the army canteen. We think you eat in the canteen all year round, so we will change it for you. But we know that you have always been frugal, so we didn't dare to spend too much money, so please The two military wives who are good at craftsmanship helped to make it in the compound, try it and see if it suits your appetite." The political commissar was afraid that the old chief would blame them for troublesome others, so he hurriedly said.

Although Luo Changsong knew it wouldn't be that simple, others had good intentions, and he was not their superior, so he was not qualified to criticize, so he didn't say anything.

"You have a heart, this looks very good, how about I try this messy stew." After speaking, Luo Changsong took a piece of eggplant and put it in his mouth.

"Oh, this is really delicious. It's the best stew I've ever eaten." The old chief said in surprise.

Because seven of the ten dishes on the table were made by Xie Xiaonian, and the other three were also the specialty dishes of the old military wife, so after the old chief tasted it, he was very satisfied.

The old chief was happy, and the others were naturally happy too. In addition, the dishes were really good, so the meal was a complete joy for both guests and hosts.

After the meal, the old chief said: "Which two military wives made this? I want to meet them and thank them very much."

"There's no need to thank them. It's their honor that you like their cooking. It's too late for them to be happy! If you want to meet, I'll go to the back kitchen and call them over!"

After a while, Xie Xiaonian and another military wife were led out from the back kitchen.

After the introduction, the old chief asked in surprise when he heard that Xie Xiaonian was Xu Zhongjun's wife: "You are the daughter-in-law of that kid Zhongjun, the medicinal wine he gave me in the military academy before said it was made by his wife, could it be You did it. You are a little girl, I didn’t expect your handiwork to be so good, my old cold legs haven’t relapsed for a long time since I drank the medicinal wine you made.”

"I made it. When I was young, I learned a little medical skills from my grandfather. When the Zhongjun went home to visit relatives, he saw that the medicinal wine I made for my mother-in-law was very effective, so I brought you some. At that time, he only said that it was from the military academy. A teacher, I didn't expect it to be you!" Xie Xiaonian said with a smile.

"Hahaha, am I not his teacher? It seems that our fate is not shallow! In the past, Zhongjun always liked to show off to me, saying that his daughter-in-law is good at craftsmanship, good at medicine, and a better person. I met a real person. I originally planned to go to Zhongjun’s house for dinner at night, but I didn’t expect to taste his wife’s handicrafts at noon. I will go to your house for dinner at night. I don’t need to do anything else, just cook this for me It’s fine to stew randomly, I’ll just like this, and it would be even better if I can have a glass of wine!” The old chief said with a smile.

The old chief said that Zhongjun is his student, which is equivalent to admitting that Zhongjun is his person, and that Zhongjun has been greatly honored by him.

"Okay, as long as you like, I promise to eat as much as you like! I promise to prepare wine for you!" Xie Xiaonian said happily.

Originally, they didn't dare to invite the chief to dinner, but they didn't expect the old chief to ask to go to her house for dinner at night, which was really a surprise.

"The daughter-in-law of the loyal army is very good at craftsmanship. I'll go to her house with you to have a meal in the evening!" The political commissar said with a smile, not missing any chance to get in touch with the old chief.

"No need, just go about your business. I can go by myself. No one needs to accompany me. I still have to chat with Zhongjun. I just happened to go to see his injuries."

The old chief just wanted to have a simple meal and didn't want too many other factors in it, so he directly refused.

Now that the old chief has said so, of course the others dare not disobey.

However, because the old chief made the decision in a hurry, and the army could not let Xiao Nian just cook randomly like the old chief said, so when Xie Xiaonian went back, the logistics department sent Xie Xiaonian some different ingredients for him to entertain at night. old chief.

Xie Xiaonian thought to herself that her family didn't buy too many vegetables other than to supplement the Zhongjun's body. If she brought out other ingredients at that time, it would definitely arouse suspicion, so she didn't refuse, and just carried it.

"Zhongjun, I saw the old chief at noon today, and he offered to come to our house for dinner tonight!" Xie Xiaonian said happily as soon as he got home.

"Really, that's great! I won't attend the lecture in the afternoon, I'll cook for you at home!" Xu Zhongjun said happily.

"No, I don't need you. It's not like you don't know. I cook very quickly, and there is no such lecture once a year. It would be a pity to miss it. Don't worry, I'm busy by myself. Come here." Xie Xiaonian hastily refused.

"Father, I can also help my mother cook and light the fire." Heping continued.

"I can do it too, I can do it too!" Pancake also echoed.

"Well, that's fine, I'll trouble the two of you for dinner." Xu Zhongjun said with a smile.

Because Xu Zhongjun was prone to dizziness, he had to rest for a while after walking, so He Shulin pushed him to the venue in the afternoon.

After they left, Xie Xiaonian began to prepare dinner, and she also secretly replaced some of the ingredients given by the army with ingredients in the space. Presumably, the dinner at night will be even more delicious.

"Xiao Nian, let me help you!" Although Chen Xiuhong can only cook the simplest meals now, it is completely fine to help with washing dishes, so soon after eating, Chen Xiuhong followed her husband's orders , came to Xiao Nian's house.

"Okay, thank you then, I'm too busy!" Xie Xiaonian said with a smile.

Because Heping is still young, Xie Xiaonian dare not let him touch such tasks as lighting a fire, for fear of burning him.

And Zhang Chunping and the others all went to work again, so Chen Xiuhong came in time.

"I used to think that it doesn't matter if I can cook or not, but I didn't expect that cooking would have such benefits!" Chen Xiuhong said enviously while washing the vegetables.

"This kind of thing is rare, but it is still useful to know how to cook. At least your husband and children don't have to eat in the cafeteria all the time. I see that since you learned how to cook a few dishes with Pearl, your husband and wife have quarreled The number of times is less!"

"It is indeed less, at least because the number of quarrels over meals has decreased. Now I often watch you cook and practice more times. I feel that your skills are gradually improving!" Chen Xiuhong said happily.

"Then keep working hard! It will definitely get better and better." Although Xie Xiaonian felt that Chen Xiuhong's cooking had nothing to do with craftsmanship, she still encouraged her in order not to discourage her enthusiasm.

It may be that Li Jian had explained in advance, so after Chen Xiuhong finished helping, seeing that the food was almost done, she left and went back.

After all, the old chief didn't even allow the political commissar to accompany her. If she was still here, it would seem that she had other purposes.

As soon as Xie Xiaonian put the food on the table, she heard a knock on the door.

Opening the door, Xie Xiaonian saw three people standing at the door, Zhongjun and the old chief standing one behind the other, Zhongjun's wheelchair was also pushed by the old chief's guard, He Shulin had long since disappeared, It should be because he was afraid of being suspected, so he avoided it early.

"Old Chief, Comrade Guards, please come in, please come in, you guys came back in time, the food has just been served on the table, let's wash our hands, and dinner will be ready soon!" Seeing the visitor, Xie Xiaonian warmly greeted .

"That's great, I've been hungry for a long time, and I've been wanting to eat the food you cooked all afternoon!" The old chief said with a smile.

"Then let's have dinner right away! In the future, as long as you want to eat, you can come to eat at any time. Our family welcomes you at any time." Xie Xiaonian said with a smile.

Panbing and Heping, who were standing beside Xie Xiaonian, also obediently shouted to the old chief and his guards: "Hello, Grandpa! Hello, Uncle!"

"Okay, okay, hello, you are so good!" The old chief said with a smile while touching the heads of the two children.

Because the old chief has no children, he likes children very much.

When they sat down to eat, they both pulled the two children to their sides.

"Hey, didn't you say that there is wine for me? Where is the wine?" The old chief asked after sitting down.

"Of course I have, I'll bring it to you!"

After finishing speaking, Xie Xiaonian took out a jar from the kitchen and said with a smile: "Considering your physical condition, I prepared wine for you!"

"What's so good about wine, it's boring!" the old chief said disappointedly.

"I brewed this myself. You will know if it tastes good or not. I guarantee you drink it once and think twice." Xie Xiaonian did not change his mind because of the old chief's words, and continued.

Immediately, he signaled Xu Zhongjun to pour a bowl for the old chief and the guards.
