Chapter 69 : Tenderness and Thoughtfulness

The several grown men in the living room could hardly sit still.

“Shen He, what did your wife cook? Why does it smell so good?” Cao Zhifang sniffed the fragrance in the air. How could he still think about training? He just wanted to eat right away and taste what that delicious thing was.

The other three were also very hungry.

But how could Shen He know what his wife had made? Since getting married, he had only eaten a few meals she cooked.

“You’ll know later.” Shen He pretended to keep it a secret.

He successfully aroused the envy and jealousy of the other men.

How did she marry a wife like this? She’s beautiful, gentle, and a great cook!

This is the partner that all men dream of!

But this envy faded when they thought of Shen He’s extraordinary abilities. Several of them stopped eating.

It wasn’t that they were belittling themselves, but Shen He was really amazing!

Even Cao Zhifang, the head of the group, had to admit it.

Not only was he physically strong, but he also had first-class combat abilities. He couldn’t compare to him at all. Being his superior, he felt a little disheartened.

The aroma in the kitchen grew stronger and stronger, and the men became increasingly distracted during their conversation.

In the end, they simply stopped talking and went outside one by one to help move the tables and stools.

Let’s see if we can eat faster.

Fortunately, many hands make light work. Some helped with the ingredients, others lit the fire, and Su Ranran was cooking very quickly.

Before long, a large table full of dishes was served. There was another smaller table next to it, also filled with dishes. This table was for the children.

The children didn’t expect they could sit at a table formally, and they were all very excited.

In the past, when they went to other people’s houses for a meal, they could only stand and eat, occasionally getting a piece of food picked up with chopsticks. But today was different! Not only could they sit at a table, but they could also eat so much meat.

The children developed a good impression of this beautiful sister, and now they liked her even more. They sweetly called her “Beautiful Sister.”

This, however, earned them a scolding from their mothers.

“It’s impolite to call her that,” Zhong Juhua scolded her son, who was upset.

Huzi covered his head, a little aggrieved. “Sister is so beautiful, how can I call her aunt?”

Everyone in the room couldn’t help but laugh.

“You silly child, she is your Uncle Shen’s wife, what else could you call her but aunt?”

The son was so upset that Zhong Juhua couldn’t help but feel sorry for him.

“The child is still young, he’ll understand in the future,” Su Ranran comforted him and then said to the children at the table, “There will be sweet jelly after dinner.”

As soon as they heard that there was jelly, the children’s cheers nearly overturned the yard!

Su Ranran once again won the love of all the children present.

The men had also taken their seats.

Looking at the table full of delicious dishes, they could barely hold back their drool.

At this moment, Yan Yixing also entered with his wife.

“Shen He, sister-in-law, I’m sorry we’re late,” Yan Yixing said apologetically, though it wasn’t clear if he was apologizing for being late or something else. When others saw Yan Yixing, they all greeted him with smiles.

But the smiles faded a little when they saw Liu Hong behind him.

Shen He frowned slightly, paused, and then gestured for them to come in. But his voice was a little colder than before.

Su Ranran’s smile remained very warm, and no one could tell that she had just exchanged a few words with Liu Hong a few days ago.

“Director Yan, please come in.”

Yan Yixing didn’t know that his wife had visited Su Ranran and was upset. Seeing Su Ranran’s enthusiastic smile at this moment, he felt relieved, but also somewhat dazzled.

The rumors were true, Shen He’s wife was incredibly beautiful.

Liu Hong, always paying attention to her man, noticed that he was distracted by Su Ranran and her face darkened. But before coming, she had promised Yan Yixing repeatedly that she would behave. Even though she was unhappy now, she couldn’t get angry.

Cao Zhifang, a rough man, didn’t notice these small disputes.

Seeing his partner arrive, he was very happy.

“Old Yan, you came just in time! It’s not kind to keep us waiting. Come on, sit down quickly, we’re all blessed today.”

Hearing this, Yan Yixing led Liu Hong over.

The atmosphere in Pingzhou Town is relatively conservative and backward. Women are not allowed to sit at the table when the village holds a banquet.

But in the army, the slogan that “women hold up half the sky” is followed, and there is no such thing as women not sitting at the table.

On Su Ranran’s left is Shen He, on her right is Zhong Juhua, and standing opposite is Liu Hong, who arrived late.

From the time she appeared until now, no one has paid attention to her.

Even Lin Qiulian, who was sitting next to her, just greeted her coldly.

Liu Hong was awkwardly isolated. But seeing that everyone else had already sat down, she had no choice but to find an empty stool to sit on. However, as soon as she sat down, she saw the pig intestines placed in the middle of the table.

She didn’t expect Su Ranran to treat guests so poorly, and Liu Hong’s eyes flashed with sarcasm. But before she could start to complain, she saw that others seemed to be unable to wait any longer, and they stretched out their chopsticks towards the pot of pig intestines in the middle.

Liu Hong’s eyes widened in disbelief!

Don’t they think this thing is dirty? How can they eat it?

Today’s pig intestines, Su Ranran braised them directly, and even a piece of pig ear that she bought was put into the braise. At this time, all were cut, and the big pot was placed on the adult table, and the small pot was placed on the children’s table.

A mouthful of tender and juicy pig intestines went into Cao Zhifang’s mouth, and his eyes nearly popped out!

“This is too delicious! No wonder Shen He likes to eat it. You know how to cook it!”

They had eaten pig intestines before, but no matter how much they washed them, there was always a smell. But this pig intestine not only had no odor, but it also smelled amazing. The fresh, fragrant taste burst in the mouth, which was simply extraordinary.

Shen He: …

It’s his first time eating it too.

“If it’s delicious, everyone can eat more. Don’t be polite,” Shen He greeted the guests, but Su Ranran, sitting next to him, noticed that he didn’t seem very happy.

After a moment of silence, she quietly reached out and pulled his sleeve under the table.

Shen He turned his head and met his wife’s apologetic eyes.

“I’ll make you something else next time.”

Su Ranran’s voice was very low, but Shen He still heard it.

Listening to her tone, which was like coaxing a child, Shen He couldn’t help but laugh, but her gentleness and kindness still made him very happy.

“Okay.”

Shen He nodded, and the sourness in his heart was easily softened.

Everyone else was busy grabbing the pig intestines and didn’t notice the couple’s private actions at all.

But Liu Hong, who was sitting opposite Su Ranran, saw it. She didn’t expect Shen He and his wife to be like this in private, not at all how they appeared in public.

Even though they were so far apart, she could feel his gentle care for Su Ranran.

Thinking of her man’s warning before she left, Liu Hong felt very uncomfortable.

Looking at the table full of dishes, she didn’t even have the desire to move her chopsticks.

“What do you want to eat? I’ll get it for you.”

Seeing that she hadn’t eaten a bite, Yan Yixing asked with concern, secretly praying in his heart that this girl wouldn’t cause him trouble.

What’s worse is what will happen.

“There’s pig intestines and bones on this table, who can eat this?”
