Fast-paced era: a warm and leisurely life

Chapter 158 The Educated Youth on the Island 22

Deputy Captain Huang glared at Song Lan. She was really incapable of accomplishing anything but causing trouble. She thought that it was easy to climb to the position of deputy captain. You know, there are many people eyeing her position.

He trains hard every day and completes every task conscientiously just to be able to climb up one more level.

But this one at home is holding me back

Looking down at his son who was still eating cakes, he wanted to slap him.

How can I have the face to go in and have the banquet now? You know, even the commander will be here today. It's best to talk about things at the table.

Such a good opportunity was ruined by Song Lan

Deputy Captain Huang was so angry that his eyes turned red. He pulled Song Lan and made him stagger, and strode towards the family compound.

It attracted a lot of attention along the way.

Everyone was heading to the canteen, and they were the only ones heading back to the family compound.

Someone greeted enthusiastically: "Captain Huang, where are you going? Dinner is about to start!"

Deputy Captain Huang forced a smile and said, "I have something going on at home, so I won't go to eat!"

After saying that, he hurried away, fearing that those people would ask him something.

"Hey! Strange, what are you in such a hurry about?"

"Deputy Captain Huang has already said that this is a family matter, so let's not ask, to avoid being visited by the sister-in-law again. Let's go quickly, if we go too late those hungry wolves won't leave us anything to eat."

"Yeah, eating is more important!!"

After dragging the man back home, Deputy Captain Huang slapped Song Lan hard in the face: "I'm working hard outside to earn military merits, and you're holding me back at home, right? Today is Captain Pei's good day, but you're still trying to make his wife unhappy. Song Lan, I thought you just liked to take advantage of others, but I didn't expect you can't even judge the situation!!!"

"Brother Huang, I didn't say anything. It's the new wife who is stingy and didn't even want to prepare a few more cakes."

"Just because of a plate of cakes? You really have a lot of hair and a little knowledge!!! I gave you all my allowance, how come you can't even afford a plate of cakes?"

Deputy Captain Huang looked at his son again and saw that he even used his fingers to pick up some cake crumbs on his clothes and put them into his mouth: "That's all you can do."

After finishing the cakes, he smacked his lips and said, "Dad, Mom doesn't usually buy me cakes. If you don't come home for dinner, there won't even be any food on the table."

"Son, say it again?"

"Dad, there's nothing to eat when you're not home, just a plate of pickled vegetables."

"Song Lan!" Deputy Captain Huang suppressed his anger and asked through gritted teeth, "Where's the money at home?"

Song Lan was so frightened that she locked her neck tightly and stammered, unable to speak.

The son burped and said, "Dad, I know that Mom sent all the money to my uncle's family."

"What???"

Song Lan shrank her neck and whispered, "My nephew has a girlfriend, so I have to find him a job..."

Deputy Captain Huang took several deep breaths before he could suppress his anger: "Song Lan, I'll give you a chance. How much money did you give to your parents?"

Song Lan was frightened by Deputy Captain Huang's expression. She was so angry that she grabbed her clothes tightly and couldn't even speak.

Deputy Captain Huang looked at his son again: "Son, tell me!!!"

"Dad, how would I know that? But every time you gave money to Mom, she would go out the next day."

Deputy Captain Huang also knew the situation. He was afraid that they had all gone to her parents' home.

"Song Lan, if you still want to live with me, go get the money back, or we'll divorce and go back to your parents' home!"

Song Lan's legs went weak and he knelt on the ground: "No, Brother Huang, Brother Huang, I will honor you when I find a job!!!"

"I don't need his respect, I only give you this one choice!!!"

After saying that, he slammed the door and walked out. He wanted to find someone to drink with to relieve his sorrow, but after looking around and not finding anyone, he remembered that they had all gone to the cafeteria to attend a wedding banquet.

Now I feel even more depressed

the other side

Not long after Deputy Captain Huang and Song Lan left, they started serving the dishes.

The family members didn't bother to gossip anymore and quickly picked up their chopsticks to eat.

It's true that one dish is served and the whole plate is cleared

When the toast reached the family table, Gu Nuanyi scratched her head. If there hadn't been plates, she would have thought that there was no food for this table...

Everyone was more relaxed after drinking some wine.

Plus Pei Yucheng himself doesn't have much airs.

One by one, they surrounded Pei Yucheng and started to make a noise: "It's a great day, Brother Pei and Sister-in-law should give each other a kiss!!!"

"Oh!!! Give me a kiss, give me a kiss!!!"

Pei Yucheng looked at Gu Nuanyi with a smile, lowered his head and kissed Gu Nuanyi's red lips.

Seeing that they really kissed, everyone said in unison: "May you have a happy marriage and have a baby soon!!!"

Although everyone was making a fuss, it was just some harmless little activities.

For example: hang an apple and let two people bite it together, or let two people drink a cup of wine together.

It was a harmless little joke, and Pei Yucheng and Gu Nuanyi both completed it.

The whole cafeteria was in such a commotion that the roof was almost blown off.

The sisters-in-law didn’t leave after eating. They chatted while cracking peanuts and sunflower seeds, waiting to pack up some leftovers to take back.

There wasn't much left in the end. Soldiers have to train hard every day, so naturally their appetites are bigger than others.

Almost every table was clean.

Pei Yucheng naturally took this into consideration, so he prepared a lot of dishes.

Gu Nuanyi didn’t like to reheat the same dish over and over again, so she simply asked the sisters-in-law who were waiting until the end to pack it up and take it away.

A sister-in-law quickly grabbed the food and tried to get close to Gu Nuanyi: "Sister Gu, do you live in the old compound? Why did you choose a room so far away? There are still several empty rooms in the new compound. You can move here. It's very convenient here."

"I like a quieter time. I prepared a water tank, so using water is not that troublesome."

Another sister-in-law grabbed a lot of vegetables and put them into the bamboo basket she brought with her, contentedly: "Sister Gu, you must be so bored at home alone. My last name is Hu. Let's go fishing together when we have time!"

Suddenly, a sour voice sounded: "He was an educated youth before, and he must be tired of working at sea every day. Besides, Captain Pei has a lot of allowances, so why does he need Comrade Gu to go to the sea to pick up those free things?"

Mrs. Hu rolled her eyes and whispered to Gu Nuanyi, "She's just trying to make herself feel important. Don't bother with her. If you really don't like her, tell Captain Pei and ask her husband to go back and deal with her. She'll behave herself after a few times."

Gu Nuanyi smiled and nodded: "Okay!"

Sister Hu held Gu Nuanyi's hand with shining eyes: "Sister-in-law likes good-looking girls like you, come and play with sister-in-law when you have time!"

After helping to clean up the dishes, Gu Nuanyi tapped her aching waist.

Pei Yucheng stretched out his arm and hugged Gu Nuanyi to sit on his arm: "Thank you for your hard work, my wife."
