As the delicious dishes were served one after another, the men and children who came to the wedding were stunned.

Those who know that it is a wedding banquet will think that it is a meal in a state-owned restaurant!

Many of these dishes are ones they would never see normally, let alone taste.

The children were fascinated by the carvings and clamored for flowers.

What flowers?

This is not a flower at all, it is clearly a fake flower carved out of fruits!

“Xiao He, tell me the truth. Today’s dishes are not simple. Where did you invite the chef from?”

This was not the first time that Chief Fang had attended a wedding banquet for an officer on the island. This time, the banquet was so simple that it made even a knowledgeable man like him feel novel!

He had only seen this kind of carving technique at state banquets, and it could only be done by a master craftsman who was hard to hire!

To this day, the boiled cabbage still amazes him.

“Ah? Commander, I don’t have the ability to hire a chef. These dishes are thanks to the help of the sisters-in-law. If you don’t believe me, just ask the sisters-in-law.”

He Nanfeng lowered the corner of his lips, looking as if he knew nothing.

In fact, how could he not know that most of the dishes on this table were made by his wife.

If he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn’t have believed that his wife was so clever and skillful that the radish flowers she carved looked just like the real thing!

“It’s true, Commander. You don’t know this, but Comrade Xiao Su has been learning to cook since he was a child. He picks up a kitchen knife, and his carving speed is unmatched!”

“And this dish is delicious. Once you try it, you’ll know I’m not lying.”

“Yes, that’s right. My child came home from school. As soon as he entered the yard, he started clamoring for the candied bananas made by his aunt. Oh, his belly was already bulging before the meal even started…”

Mrs. Xu and others echoed in agreement, but no one took the credit for themselves.

The dish was cooked by my sister-in-law, so it’s her credit.

They just helped out and didn’t do much, but they did learn a lot of seafood cooking techniques…

“Okay, okay, everyone, please sit down. Today is Xiao He and Xiao Su’s wedding banquet. We are all honored to be invited to the banquet. Let us send our most sincere blessings to the two newlyweds and wish them a happy marriage and a son soon~”

This kind of situation wouldn’t require Chief Fang to personally stand up and entertain the guests or give them polite remarks.

It would be most appropriate for Political Commissar Liu to help hold the scene and speak some polite words.

The guests’ wives and children filled three tables.

As tea replaced wine, everyone offered the newlyweds a cup of tea and then took their seats.

As newlyweds, He Nanfeng and Su Wan naturally could not sit down yet, so they continued to pour a cup of tea and offer a cup in return to the guests.

After toasting the guests three times in a row, the two of them took the empty seats at the main table.

“We’re all family, so don’t be polite, let’s eat~”

Political Commissar Liu’s kind words put everyone’s worries to rest.

The military and the people are one family. When the leaders adapt to local customs, they naturally do the same.

“Dad, I want to eat tomatoes~”

“Huh? Normally when you’re at home, your mom makes you scrambled eggs with tomatoes, but why don’t you seem to like it?”

“Dad, the tomatoes made by pretty aunt are sweet, and the ones made by mom are sour. I don’t like sour food, I like sweet~”

“You kid, you’ve been exposing your mother’s shortcomings so many times. I’ll spank you when I get home.”

“I want to eat bunnies too, Daddy. My pretty aunt carved bunnies for us kids.”

“Okay, kid, eat more, you’ll get a beating when you get home.”

“Don’t be afraid, eating is the most important thing~”

“Ho ho ho~”

Chief Fang was amused and couldn’t help but pick up a piece of tomato that was cut into flower shapes to taste.

Mm, sweet.

Fresh and sweet, very appetizing.

As the leader picked up his chopsticks, others began to pick up their chopsticks one after another.

I didn’t know this and was shocked.

tasty!

Everyone tasted a different dish, but everyone picked up their chopsticks from the beautifully presented dishes.

It’s not just for show, it’s really delicious!

This small yellow croaker has crispy bones that you can even swallow, and it tastes salty and delicious.

That is meat wrapped in white radish. When you eat it, the juice of the radish melts into the meat, neutralizing the greasiness of the meat itself.

The boiled shrimp has a sweet taste, and the taste becomes even richer after being dipped in the sauce.

The steamed sea bass has two words to describe its meat: fresh and tender!

The seafood platter looks delicious, is fresh and spicy, and is suitable for all ages!

Three large tables of men, women, young and old, women and children sat together, and everyone’s face was filled with a satisfied and happy smile.

They ate with relish, enjoying the sumptuous feast before them.

Whether it was the knowledgeable old leaders or the young children, everyone praised tonight’s banquet.

“Oh my! This is the most delicious meal I have ever had in my life!”

Political Commissar Liu chewed the food in his mouth with relish and couldn’t help but give a thumbs up in praise.

Others echoed, “That’s right! Every dish is so delicious! Jian Shou is even better than anything the chefs in state-owned restaurants can make!”

Facing the overwhelming praise from the crowd, Su Wan did not become complacent. Instead, she smiled modestly and said:

“Thank you for your praise, these delicious dishes can only be presented to you thanks to the concerted efforts of all the sisters-in-law!

How could I possibly prepare such a sumptuous meal by myself?”

These sensible and kind words reached the ears of the military wives who came to help, like a warm spring breeze blowing through their hearts, making them feel particularly comfortable and cozy.

After all, although everyone can say nice words, not everyone can say them as perfectly as Su Wan, making people feel happy from the bottom of their hearts.

I have to say that this sister-in-law is not only beautiful, but also speaks softly and gently.

What’s even more rare is that she has a very high emotional intelligence and her grasp of the ways of the world is extremely precise and accurate.

Therefore, the women present naturally liked this newly arrived sister-in-law and recognized and accepted her from the bottom of their hearts.

The children were even more attracted by the beautiful and generous new aunt. They rushed to surround Su Wan and chattered non-stop.

As for the men, they were sincerely happy and proud for He Nanfeng because he was lucky enough to marry such an outstanding lesbian.

Just like that, an ordinary banquet came to an end amidst laughter and joy…

After the guests had left, Chief Fang was the first to get up and leave the scene as he had important official business to attend to.

Political Commissar Liu and the others asked their wives to take the children home to take a bath and go to bed, while they stayed behind to wipe the table, wash the dishes, and clean up the place.

Su Wan found it a little unbelievable. In the past, when she read novels, she was used to skipping the roles of supporting characters.

Now that I am in the middle of it, I realize that all the supporting characters in front of me are good men.

Externally, he can go to the battlefield, shed blood and sweat but not tears; internally, he can roll up his sleeves, lower himself to comfort his wife and children, and do housework…
