Chapter 339 Housewarming Celebration (1)
Chapter 339 Housewarming Celebration (1)
My wife worked so much last night, she must not have slept at all, she must have been so tired!
Xie Chang'an was both moved and heartbroken.
"Hey, I'm here!" Xie Chang'an wheeled himself toward the restaurant. This wheelchair was particularly useful, sturdy and easy to operate.
Luo Ning then came out and pushed him into the restaurant.
"Commander Xie, today's breakfast is three-delicacy beef rice noodles with two poached eggs! Please make do with this for now, I'll make you something better for lunch!"
Luo Ning spent too much time preparing crayfish this morning and didn't have time to make breakfast, so she could only give Battalion Commander Xie a makeshift meal.
"Really? That's great!" Xie Chang'an sat in the main seat and saw two poached eggs in the bowl, sprinkled with scallions and pickled cowpeas, and topped with a layer of beef, making it look very appetizing. And that thing that looked like noodles was rice?
Xie Chang'an rubbed his hands together excitedly, "I've never eaten this before, it smells delicious!"
"Try it and see how it is?" Luo Ning breathed a sigh of relief and walked to her seat.
Xie Chang'an is from the north, so it's understandable that he hasn't tried southern rice noodles before.
She had traveled all over the world in her past life, so her tastes had become a mix.
Moreover, she has no home and doesn't know who her parents or relatives are, so she has no sense of belonging.
Like a weed, it can survive no matter what and will eat any kind of food.
Xie Chang'an nodded happily, picked up a piece with his chopsticks and put it in his mouth. It was soft and smooth, with a light fragrance and very fresh.
He learned the word "fresh" from Luo Ning.
"Xiao Ning, this rice noodle is so delicious!"
"Then eat more. I originally only wanted to make rice noodles as one of my breakfast options, but I didn't have time, so I had to make it as breakfast directly!"
Luo Ning shook his head helplessly; plans can't keep up with changes.
In the morning, she ground some flour, intending to make steamed pork with rice flour, but...
They used it all to make rice noodles!
Xie Chang'an finished the soup completely and leaned back in his chair with a satisfied look on his face.
Luo Ning couldn't help but chuckle, took a few sips of soup, and handed Xie Chang'an a tissue. "You're so easy to take care of!"
Xie Chang'an took it, feeling a little embarrassed. Actually, he had been spoiled by Xiao Ning.
Luo Ning pushed the bowl aside, took out a list from her pocket, and moved the stool closer to Xie Chang'an. "These are the guests we're inviting for our housewarming. Check if we've invited them all. If not, I'll go out and call them in a bit."
Here's what's for tonight's menu. This is my first time making this, so I don't have much experience. Could you give me some feedback?
Xie Chang'an nodded and scanned the list from beginning to end. "And Zhang Yue, among the married women in our battalion, only Xu Jianbin's wife is in Jidu. The others don't qualify to accompany their husbands to the military and are all in their hometowns!"
As for Ye, forget it. He and Xiao Ning don't get along. I'll invite him to dinner alone later!
"She'll be coming over tonight!" Luo Ning thought to herself, feeling a pang of unease. She had inadvertently become the Milky Way again, separating Xu Jianbin and Zhang Yue from each other...
"Okay!" Xie Chang'an nodded. That bastard Xu Jianbin didn't dare to approach Xiao Ning, but he kept bothering him, driving him crazy.
I'll finally get some peace and quiet tonight.
"So many dishes, and almost all of them are meat dishes, isn't this...?"
"We've finally managed to host a dinner party, so we should make it look decent. All of these things cost almost nothing; they're all things we have at home!"
Seeing that Xie Chang'an had no objections, Luo Ning decided to prepare for the night in this manner.
Xie Chang'an was somewhat moved. He could sell the things at home for money, or he could save them himself.
Xiao Ning was being so generous to save face for himself; this was the first time he'd ever treated someone to a meal in all his years in the military…
Moreover, everyone knows that the young wife is wealthy, so the food must be excellent to leave no room for complaint.
"Xiao Ning, take away one of the steamed pork dishes and replace it with peanuts. Didn't I tell you to use the rice flour for breakfast?"
"That's right!" Luo Ning slapped his forehead, immediately crossed out the steamed pork with rice flour, and added a salt and pepper peanut.
After discussing the details of the dinner party, Luo Ning took the menu to the study and copied it again, adding the ingredients for each dish.
Then Luo Ning entered the space and searched through the warehouse company. He found a few tables and chairs in the kitchen utensils area. He took two square tables and some wooden stools, bowls, chopsticks, and spoons and put them under the jujube tree at the door. Then Luo Ning took a few pounds of pork, six chickens, and fruit and went out.
She delivered the food to Zhang Yue in the courtyard and told her to cook it as soon as possible because it was too hot and the food would spoil easily.
Zhang Yue wanted to help Luo Ning, but she couldn't leave home because of Ming Wei and her mother-in-law.
While hesitating, Luo Ning rode his bicycle and disappeared in a puff of smoke.
The military region was noisy, and Luo Ning rolled her eyes after hearing it for a while.
An hour later, Luo Ning returned to her new home after finishing everything and smiled when she heard Tong Nan's startled voice.
My sister-in-law is a very honest person; she arrived quite early.
Upon hearing the sound of the bicycle, Xie Chang'an immediately wheeled himself over and opened the door. The icy look in Luo Ning's eyes melted away the instant he saw her.
"Xiao Ning, you're back!"
Tong Nan clicked his tongue twice, then came out of the kitchen carrying a knife. "Girl, you've prepared so much stuff, why are you making me buy more?"
Luo Ning is really rich. The tables, chairs, benches, and kitchen utensils are all very complete. Not to mention anything else, there are five curtains alone!
"Sister-in-law, I'm not only hosting a dinner today, I'm hosting again tomorrow. I'm afraid I won't have enough to prepare!" Luo Ning walked in quickly, carrying Xie Chang'an's medicine, wiping the sweat from her face.
Today we're treating Xie Chang'an's superiors and comrades; tomorrow the younger generation will have a get-together.
"Oh, I see!" Tong Nan suddenly understood. If he invited guests twice, it should be about right.
Seeing that Luo Ning's face was flushed and sweat was streaming down her cheeks, Xie Chang'an immediately handed her a glass of cool boiled water and a towel.
Luo Ning naturally took the cup and wiped her face with it, then gulped down the water. When she moved the cup away, she saw Tong Nan's teasing look.
"Chang'an, we've been here for so long, and we haven't seen you pour your sister-in-law a drop of water. She's definitely your own wife; the treatment is so different!"
Xie Chang'an blushed slightly, feeling somewhat awkward. "Sister-in-law, didn't I tell you to make yourselves at home?"
"Who are they?" Luo Ning's gaze swept over the bottles of wine on the coffee table in the living room and subconsciously looked towards the kitchen.
Fu Qingjin's voice came from the kitchen, "Tong Nan, stop fooling around, let Luo Ning come in so we can discuss this!"
Luo Ning glanced at Xie Chang'an and said, "I'm going to the kitchen." After receiving a nod of approval from Xie Chang'an, she picked up a towel and an enamel mug and went inside.
"Oh dear, they can't be separated from you for even a moment," Tong Nan laughed as she followed Luo Ning, complaining, "When I came here today, so many people tried to persuade me to come to your house to help, but I didn't agree to any of them, especially those families who live close to me. I get annoyed just seeing them."
When you got into trouble before, they stayed far away, but they still talked behind your back a lot.
Now that you're alright, you're all over me, why are you clinging to me like this? What a joke!
I know what they're thinking. They just want to curry favor with you because you're so capable, so they can invite you to their side when something good happens to you.
I'm telling you, don't pay any attention to them. Those women are no good.
As for the neutral observers, in my opinion, I shouldn't associate with them either; they're too opportunistic!
After Tong Nan finished rambling on, she suddenly realized that she had talked too much. Why couldn't she control her mouth?
Teacher Fu just told her to do more work and talk less, because the more you talk, the more mistakes you make, and the less you talk, the fewer mistakes you make.
Luo Ning kept a straight face and didn't say anything, probably complaining about how much trouble she was causing.
