"Sure. What’s wrong with that? Everyone’s conditions are like this now." Xie Jingchen knows very well about the family’s New Year’s Eve dinner dishes, especially those big platters of at that are more than enough.
Moreover, before he left, he saw his little wife constantly cutting, so there should definitely be enough food.
"Well, I didn’t specifically make any main dishes again, but I prepared a few fresh appetizers, perfect for the sisters-in-law to eat. They are good for stimulating appetite and maintaining beauty. Also, I have so sunflower seeds and peanuts ready under the coffee table, just help yourself. I have more if needed, just let know when we run out."
"I know, you take care of yourself too, don’t tire yourself out, okay?" Xie Jingchen wasn’t too concerned about this al; he was more worried that his wife would get tired.
He was ecstatic when he heard about the twins previously. Now thinking about it, if ti could turn back, he would definitely not foolishly suggest this gathering.
"By the way, Brother Chen, I thought that since it’s the New Year, I prepared so peanuts and pastries for everyone to take back and try. I prepared a lot before the New Year, so they can be kept for ten days to half a month without any problem. Just heat them up if worried about them being cold; either frying or steaming will do."
Saying this, Zhang Shanni took the man over to one side of the TV bookcase, pointing to nearly ten portions of New Year’s gifts piled up: "It’s all here. I didn’t know how many families you would invite or how many would co, so I prepared ten portions. Is that enough? If not, I can pack so more."
Zhang Shanni is soone who tries to do things perfectly. Moreover, this is the first ti they are hosting guests, coinciding with the festive season, so naturally, she wants to make it a bit grander to ensure they don’t offend anyone.
"It’s enough. This ti I only invited six families. Two Commander Rongs have co from my camp, the deputy camp commander is still on duty. From the second camp, both the camp commander and a deputy camp commander, and a Commander Rong ca. From the third camp, only one Commander Rong ca. The others are either on duty or have returned to their hotowns."
"Oh, in that case, good, it’s enough." Zhang Shanni nodded. Anyway, even if it’s not enough, she could still pack more; she wouldn’t let anyone go back empty-handed.
"Do you want to take a nap? The guests will only arrive later." Xie Jingchen helped her sit back on the sofa and casually glanced around, seemingly nonchalantly reminding her, "By the way, have all the clutter at ho been dealt with?"
Clutter? The words of Xie Jingchen made Zhang Shanni montarily puzzled. Seeing him glancing around, she followed his gaze and then realized he was asking about those ’special’ clutters whether they were cleared up or not!
"All sorted, nothing special." The only things noticeable at ho were the dishwashing liquid in the kitchen and the soap in the bathroom, other items had already been carefully put away when the man went out.
Zhang Shanni, seeing the man would help keep her secrets, felt much better. She smiled and laid her head on his arm, reaching only up to his shoulder due to her petite size, which was really distressing.
This position makes it even hard to steal a kiss!
Luckily the body is still young, she thought, trying to grow to 1.7 ters should still be doable.
Xie Jingchen’s idea of letting his wife take a nap was good, but unfortunately, before Zhang Shanni could refuse, there was a knocking sound at the door.
"Hey, coming right up." Zhang Shanni instinctively responded first, then was pressed down by the man on her knee, "You don’t get up, I’ll go open the door. If you’re tired, just go back to the room and sleep, it’s okay."
Wife is the most important in the world.
"It’s okay, I’m always in good health. You go open the door, and I’ll make so Oolong tea, is that okay?"
"Let’s just go with green tea, we are all rough n, can’t really appreciate the finer tastes."
Thinking about his wife’s preference for oolong tea, which she has stopped drinking since becoming pregnant. The oolong tea is only in a small can, if given to those n, it would be like feeding pearls to swine!
"Oh, then green tea it is, good for cutting the grease." Zhang Shan Ni casually said this, as she herself liked to drink gentle teas like oolong and black tea, so she casually chose this.
It’s not like it’s her military comrades, she can’t possibly understand her husband’s comrades like n do.
The first person to arrive, surprisingly, was Yan Jinchang, whom she had just seen in the morning. Brother Pingtou really ant it when he said he would co, and accompanying him was Hu Zhengjie, who was from the sa unit in the third company. The two had a good relationship, so it was normal for them to co together.
It’s just that they ca a bit early, and Xie Jingchen instinctively felt the need to be on guard as soon as he saw Yan Jinchang. He looked down at his watch, and it was not yet three o’clock!
Were these guys that starved?!!
"Boss, we’re here!" Hu Zhengjie, unaware of the morning drama with the Camp Commander, greeted Xie Jingchen directly with a salute and then cheekily wiggled his eyebrows at Xie Jingchen.
"Please co in." Regardless of the scheming thoughts Xie Jingchen harbored, planning how he would get back at them later, he politely invited them in.
Seeing Zhang Shan Ni with her pregnant belly making tea, Yan Jinchang didn’t think much at first, only felt a shudder and quickly stepped towards Zhang Shan Ni, "Sister-in-law, such dangerous tasks should be avoided, let handle it."
Following behind, Hu Zhengjie looked doubtfully at his friend, then quickly followed Xie Jingchen to the living room.
Making tea = a dangerous task? Zhang Shan Ni looked confusedly at Yan Jinchang, and seeing him sweating profusely despite the snowy day, she knew he was genuinely anxious, and Zhang Shan Ni couldn’t help but speak gently:
"Commander Yan Rong, you’ve arrived. It’s just making so tea, I’ll be careful."
"Wife, let do it, why don’t you go check if there’s anything to tidy up in the kitchen?" Xie Jingchen’s anger rose seeing Yan Jinchang flattering his wife, and unable to lash out at a guest, he could only have his wife leave.
"Hello, Sister-in-law." Hu Zhengjie hurriedly greeted her before she could leave without him speaking up.
"Hello, don’t be shy, just feel at ho, please make yourself comfortable," Zhang Shan Ni greeted this new face first, then turned to her husband saying:
"You entertain the guests here, I’ll go heat up the dishes, others should be arriving soon." With that, she smiled lightly at the eager-looking Yan Jinchang and left the battlefield.
Hehe, she really wanted to give Brother Pingtou a slap!
Who would be so foolish to ingratiate himself with another man’s wife like that? And the wife of his direct superior no less, isn’t he afraid of being subtly reprimanded?
Not sure whether to call him naive or plain stupid.
When Zhang Shan Ni got to the kitchen, she still wore a smile of helplessness. Seeing Sister Xiaxia and Sister Yanzi chatting while heating dishes and sneaking tastes, they were clearly enjoying themselves—
Yingying, such lovely people, making her feel so cheerful—this kind of life is what she had always dread of!
