Yunyi gave Huo Jingrui a sidelong glance: "I didn’t expect you to be this popular. I just got here and I’m already a target."
Huo Jingrui was eager to survive: "Don’t worry, Yi’er. No one else can enter my heart, no one else can catch my eye. What they say is purely hypothetical, we don’t need to pay attention."
That serious look on his face amused Yunyi: "You’re quite the sweet talker."
Huo Jingrui affectionately tucked Yunyi’s stray hair behind her ear: "It’s almost time, they’ll be arriving soon."
Just as he finished speaking, they heard the voice of Commander Du Tianming: "You sneaky kid, you disappeared in the blink of an eye."
Then someone chimed in jokingly: "Once the work is done, of course he’s rushing home to see his wife."
The group following behind burst into laughter.
Huo Jingrui shot a glare at the soldiers behind Du Tianming: "Commander, your timing is impeccable."
Commander Du had already heard from Chief Huo that this little daughter-in-law of his had quite a talent, especially in cooking, something he had longed to taste.
So today, on the way back from the city, when Huo Jingrui extended the invitation, he accepted without hesitation.
Huo Jingrui called his brothers to move the tables from the courtyard into the house.
If it were summer, they could have stayed outside, but it’s winter now. There were two tables in each of the three main rooms, with women and children taking two tables, and the rest for the men.
As soon as the dishes were on the table, everyone was wide-eyed. It was clear that Deputy Regimental Commander Huo’s wife was a genuine person.
The dishes weren’t just a feast for the senses; every plate was piled high, mostly with meat dishes.
