Because he wanted to invite Wei Jianwei's comrade-in-arms to dinner, He Xiaoyun mentioned it to him at the dinner table the next day.
"Everything that needs to be settled at home has been settled. I want to invite everyone to have a meal and get to know each other so that we don't encounter people on the road and don't even know how to say hello."
Wei Jianwei frowned slightly. If it was just his comrades-in-arms, he would definitely say that there is no need to invite them, but He Xiaoyun also mentioned their family members, thinking that they will have to deal with women when they come and go in the family area. If they get along well, You can also ask her to make a few friends, so as not to be too boring.
So he nodded and said, "Then invite them to eat at the restaurant."
He Xiaoyun smiled and said, "Since you are all close friends, it is sincere enough to invite them to your home, and you are wearing military uniforms one by one. If you go to a restaurant and are seen by others, the influence will not be good."
"You can't do it alone." Wei Jianwei said, and he didn't want her to work hard to cook for others.
"Don't underestimate me," He Xiaoyun slightly raised her chin, "When our family is busy, I cook meals for six or seven people by myself. Besides, my sister-in-law and the others will definitely help me when the time comes."
Wei Jianwei was still reluctant, and suggested: "Shall I go to the restaurant and order some dishes to bring back?"
"Oh, just listen to me," He Xiaoyun said, joking again, "At least let your comrades-in-arms taste my cooking skills, so that people will envy you."
But Wei Jianwei just didn't want others to taste her cooking skills. Seeing her insistence, he nodded in agreement, and explained: "You don't need to cook too many dishes."
"I can't see that you are still a cheapskate." He Xiaoyun laughed.
After making an agreement with Wei Jianwei, she went to ask Xu Lanxiang again. After all, Wei Jianwei only knew his comrades-in-arms, and Xu Lanxiang knew better about the family members of these comrades.
Hearing her reason for coming, Xu Lanxiang said happily: "You can just ask me about it. Your old Wei is just like our old Wang, and there are only a few people who get along well. Lao Lin's family members are not with the army, and Lao Zhao is with us. The family members of Lao Zhang and Zhang live upstairs. You have only been here for two days, and I haven’t had a chance to introduce you. As for the rest, we are not the same as us. We usually meet, just say hello with a smile, there is no need Invite them to dinner."
He Xiaoyun did not expect that in this small family building, there are also sects.
Xu Lanxiang said again: "As for the children, I have three here, Lao Zhao and Lao Zhang are two, and if you add yours, there will be eight. Although it is said that little brats don't have to go to the table, the house will definitely be noisy. You Be mentally prepared."
He Xiaoyun nodded one by one, and after asking Xu Lanxiang, she began to formulate the recipe.
Wei Jianwei and the others will be free the day after tomorrow, and there are still two days left, but she takes this matter very seriously, not only as the beginning of her socializing in the family building, but also in order not to lose Wei Jianwei's face.
She was lying on the table thinking about recipes, while Wei Yuanhang and Wang Derong were playing with building blocks. Last night she told the little fat man that she could invite Rongrong to play at home. He ran to the next door and invited someone over.
Thinking of last night, she remembered another thing that almost made her unable to sleep. She subconsciously touched her ear with one hand, and it seemed that there was still a little burning there.
She swore that when Wei Jianwei pecked there, she heard a soft sound, and his warm snort on her ears...
After thinking about it, she wanted to cover her face again.
When she woke up in the morning, she didn't dare to look him in the eyes. After a long time of psychological construction, she lied to herself, saying that she was already the mother of a three-year-old child, and she hadn't seen any big storms. She just kissed the ear, and it was nothing. What a fuss. What's more, in her era, all kinds of pornographic advertisements were flying all over the sky, and even the naked ones had been seen. Wei Jianwei's tricks were really not enough to watch!
After persuading myself for a long time, I was able to pretend to be nonchalant and talk to the other party.
But for him, it looked as if nothing had happened.
He Xiaoyun curled her lips involuntarily. He was the one who loved each other for no reason, and he was also the one who had nothing to do with it. It was abominable to make her worry here alone.
After struggling like this for a long time, when she saw the pathetic name of a dish in the notebook, she quickly shook her head, put the matter behind her, and continued to think about the recipe.
"Mom, does it look like a small train?" Wei Yuanhang said suddenly.
He Xiaoyun turned her head and saw that the two children built a simple train with building blocks, and then one pulled it in front and the other carefully supported it behind, making the sound of the train starting.
She smiled and praised: "It's very similar, you are really amazing."
The two children were very happy, and excitedly said that they would fight for a big plane.
He Xiaoyun watched them for a while, then suddenly had an inspiration, and turned her head to write down a dish of sweet and sour pork ribs on the paper. This dish is sour and sweet, children must like it.
When Wei Jianwei came back in the evening, she had already written a long list on the paper. However, there are many dishes to be determined, and the final list has not been finalized. She plans to only cook three meat and three vegetarian dishes, and then each dish will be more. , I am afraid that if it is too rich, it will be known by interested people, and making a fuss based on it will have a bad influence on Wei Jianwei.
Seeing her frowning at the menu, Wei Jianwei suggested again: "Go directly to the restaurant and order food."
He Xiaoyun glanced at him, "If you have the time, why don't you help me think of some dishes."
He walked over, took the pen in her hand, and ticked off a few dishes, "Okay."
He Xiaoyun stared blankly, and gave him a final push, "Don't make any trouble." He shouldn't have been asked to help.
She temporarily put away the pen and paper on the table and prepared to eat first. I didn't go to the market to buy vegetables today, so I just used the bacon I brought from home to stir-fry dish choy sum and made a soup.
"Sister-in-law Xu said that there will be a fair tomorrow, so I'll take Hanghang to go with her to see it, buy some food and prepare it first, and if there's anything not enough, I'll go to the market to buy it the day after tomorrow." At the dinner table, He Xiaoyun said to Wei Jianwei.
Wei Jianwei nodded and said, "I'll give you the money later."
"Where is the need, what you gave me yesterday is enough, and when you went home, you gave me living expenses, and there is still a lot."
Wei Jianwei said, "I planned to give it to you, but I will let it go to you in the future."
He Xiaoyun just wanted to ask, why did you let me go? Then I suddenly thought, is this what later generations said, which means handing in the salary card
She felt her heart thumping. She was embarrassed to speak for a while, and after taking a few mouthfuls of food, she remembered and said, "Where is Mom..."
In the past, Wang Chunhua was in charge of the family's money. Although they have come out with Wei Jianwei, they have not yet separated. The money is with her. I don't know if the family will have any ideas.
"Last time at home, I told my mother, and she agreed."
He Xiaoyun didn't expect that he had already thought so much at that time.
She thought about it and said, "Then we should send some money back every month."
The family's conditions are not particularly rich, there are many people, and a new baby was added recently, so there are a lot of places to spend money.
Wei Jianwei said: "Okay, you have the final say."
After dinner, he really took out the key of the drawer and handed over the financial power of the family to He Xiaoyun.
Only then did He Xiaoyun know that his monthly salary was quite high, ninety yuan.
However, this is what he has been working on for more than ten years. The recruits who have just joined the army have no salary. They only have an allowance of six yuan a month. The army is responsible for food and clothing. At that time, you have to rely on yourself to eat and dress.
Wei Jianwei used to eat in the army canteen, and the food expenses were based on the standard of 45 cents a day, which was about 15 yuan a month. Except for the coat, he has to buy all the clothes himself. He usually trains, and the fabric wears out quickly, so he spends a lot on this part. In addition, he buys some daily necessities every month, writes letters to his family, or which comrade’s family is particularly difficult and needs to pay for it. Subsidize it, there is not much left in a month.
When he returned home, he would hand over the previous money to Wang Chunhua and part of it to He Xiaoyun. This time I have been away from home for three or four months, and all the money I have saved is here, and there are a dozen or so sheets of great unity, which makes He Xiaoyun blush and heartbeat.
She put the money in the drawer again, and put her whole money in it, leaving only some small change with her, and then walked around the house with the key, trying to find a place to hide it.
It's no wonder she has a petty bourgeois mentality. After coming here, the money spent is only a few cents. I have never seen so much money. How can I not be careful
Wei Yuanhang looked up at her and watched her turn around, and after a while he tilted his head and asked his father, "What is Mom doing?"
"Do you know that squirrels spend the winter?" Wei Jianwei asked his son.
The child thought for a while and said, "Grandma said, is it a mouse with a big, big tail?"
Wei Jianwei nodded and continued: "When squirrels spend the winter, they hide a lot of food in tree holes. Your mother is doing that now."
Wei Yuanhang stretched his neck to observe his mother, and after a long time he said in confusion, "But mother doesn't have a tail."
He Xiaoyun heard it, and laughed angrily: "Don't listen to your father's nonsense, he only has a tail."
"Mom has."
"Dad only!"
"Mom has."
"Daddy has a bunch of tails!"
The two adults became childish, but Wei Yuanhang was too busy. He glanced at his mother and tilted his head to look at his father. After watching for a long time, he angrily concluded: adults are liars, and both parents lied to him. .
After hiding the key, He Xiaoyun sat down at the table again and started keeping accounts. When she went to the street yesterday, she paid 40 cents for the bus ticket, 80 cents for pork, 50 cents for fish, 1.2 cents for eggs... and even 3 cents for a few shallots.
Wei Yuanhang was already asleep, and Wei Jianwei was sitting beside her reading a book.
It's just that the book in my hand didn't turn a page for a long time, and my eyes fell on her, watching her frown for a while, puff up her cheeks for a while, sometimes she couldn't remember, and poked her lips with the tip of the pen in distress, The lips, which were already ruddy and plump, puffed up even more.
It took He Xiaoyun a long time to notice his gaze. Thinking of her troubles in the afternoon, she felt that he could not let him lead her by the nose, so she braced herself up, opened her eyes wide and looked at him, and asked impolitely: "Do you see?" what?"
"Look at you." Wei Jianwei was very honest.
He Xiaoyun raised her chin proudly, "There are too many people looking at me, so if you want to see it, take a closer look."
Hearing this, Wei Jianwei raised his brows slightly, stretched out his palm and touched her cheek lightly, and asked, "How about this?"
His palm was generous and warm, obviously the temperature was not very high, but He Xiaoyun felt as if her heart had been scalded.
But she still made a disdainful expression, "What's the matter?"
Wei Jianwei turned his head and didn't speak, just looked at her, his eyes seemed to say, if this is the case, you should have a better look.
She couldn't think of how to be more powerful at the moment, but if she didn't do something, she would be looked down upon by him, so what
Although I feel like I have become a duck being caught on the rack without knowing it, but I don’t lose my momentum when I lose, He Xiaoyun stomped her feet cruelly, crossed the table with her upper body, and kissed his lips, and tried not to blush when she came back , pretending not to care at all, and said: "That's something to talk about."
It's just that after she finished speaking, she didn't dare to look at Wei Jianwei before he could speak, and buried her head in the account book, pretending to be very serious.
She could feel that Wei Jianwei's eyes fell on her, and he left after a long time.
It took another long time before she dared to sneak a glance at him, and saw that although he was reading a book, he was rubbing his lips with one hand, and the corners of his mouth were still curled up. For some reason, she felt that she was at a loss again.
Alas, falling in love is so annoying...
