In the end, Chef Xu was in charge of the cooking and Marshal Ling was on hand to help. A simple, warm and delicious dinner was served on time.
Xu Xinghe was used to cooking all kinds of Chinese and Western style meals, but now he felt that ordinary home-cooked dishes were more palatable.
In addition to the three or four home-cooked dishes on the table, he also made some barbecue skewers, which were finally distributed by He Han to the guards and orderlies in the house.
Chef Xu cooks these ordinary side dishes, and his culinary skills also do his part.
An ordinary yam pork rib porridge, boiled smooth and thick, the meat is soft and tender, and the taste is full.
Even Ling Changfeng drank two or three bowls in one go.
Marshal Ling didn't know if it was because of the reason that "doing it yourself is extra delicious", but he always felt that this simple dinner tonight was extra delicious.
In the past, he always had an indifferent attitude towards all delicacies. Whether it was recommended by the chef of a five-star hotel or a classic dish at a state banquet, it was tasteless in his mouth.
This situation continued until Xu Xinghe appeared, and then it improved slightly.
But this is actually not because of Xu Xinghe's superb cooking skills, it's just because of his love for the house and his crow.
However, at this moment, after eating a bowl of hot porridge, he actually took the initiative to fill a second bowl.
It seems that the food in the mouth suddenly has the original taste and color.
Adjutant Qin on the side noticed the subtle changes in his elder officer, and blinked in surprise.
He originally wanted to drink a few more bowls of porridge, but in the end he put down his spoon and decided not to compete with his chief.
Yes, Adjutant Qin hasn't left yet, although he can see that Ling Changfeng really wants him to leave as soon as possible.
But with Xu Xinghe's kindness to persuade him to stay, he still stayed confidently—
Now that the other owner of the Marshal's Mansion has spoken, why can't he stay for a meal
Sure enough, after hearing Xu Xinghe's invitation to stay and have dinner with him, Ling Changfeng didn't say anything, and didn't drive Qin Yuan out, acquiescing to him staying as the light bulb.
It's just that the eyes looking at him are still a little unfriendly.
Fortunately, Qin Yuan has been with Ling Changfeng for a long time, and he has already practiced a thick skin, and he also knows when Ling Changfeng can disobey and when he can't disobey.
So he made it on the table with peace of mind, and ate it happily.
"By the way, do you have a plan for your honeymoon vacation?" Qin Yuan wiped his mouth and suddenly brought up the old matter again.
He looked up at this, then at that, and smiled kindly: "It's rare that everyone has time today to discuss and discuss, give me a general direction, and I will make a plan?"
Xu Xinghe: "..."
Going round and round, and back to this topic.
However, the dinner atmosphere was so good at the moment, and he couldn't spoil the scenery by saying no, so he simply buried himself in his meal and avoided the problem tactically.
Ling Changfeng felt that Qin Yuan suddenly became pleasing to the eye at this moment.
At least it is no longer as annoying as a 24K pure light bulb.
He turned his head to look at his little spouse, and the different pupils softened slightly: "Where do you want to go? Listen to you."
"I... whatever, you decide." Xu Xinghe had just finished speaking when he suddenly realized that if he said that, wouldn't it be equivalent to agreeing!
But after thinking about it, I originally agreed to this trip, and Ling Changfeng has been working hard to work overtime and take vacations because of this, and I can't let people go when things come to an end.
Therefore, travel is something that cannot be avoided. Instead of worrying about this and that, it is better to take the opportunity to enjoy it.
Team leader Xu was silently doing his own psychological construction in his heart, but he was very silent when he showed it.
As soon as he was silent, Ling Changfeng also fell silent.
The atmosphere was a little awkward for a while.
Fortunately, with Qin Yuan around, there will never be a cold situation.
This topic was started by him, and he still ended it: "Forget it, if you can't think of it, let's put it on hold for a while, and talk about it after a while. There is no need to make a decision too early. The plan can't keep up with the change, and maybe there will be another one at that time." Something else."
After Qin Yuan finished speaking, he quickly changed the subject: "By the way, your birthday will be in more than two months."
He turned his head and said to Ling Changfeng: "I didn't think it was a festival when I was on the frontier battlefield, but now that I'm back on Capital Star, someone came to me two or three months in advance to inquire about your interests and hobbies, and I plan to give you a copy of it." What about the big gift..."
After a pause, he joked, "It's a pity they don't know, Marshal Ling has no desires, no gifts."
Ling Changfeng frowned after hearing this: "If someone comes to give gifts—"
"Not at all." Qin Yuan smiled knowingly, and took his words, "Don't worry, I know it well."
Ling Changfeng nodded and said no more.
Xu Xinghe vaguely remembered that Ling Changfeng's birthday was at the end of December. Hearing their conversation now, he couldn't help asking Ling Changfeng curiously: "What kind of presents do people usually give you?"
Ling Changfeng shook his head: "I don't know."
He doesn't accept gifts casually, and gifts from strangers can't be delivered to him at all, so Qin Yuan's understanding of this aspect is not as clear as Qin Yuan's.
He looked at Xu Xinghe's curious little eyes, and asked back: "What do you think others will give me?"
Xu Xinghe thought for a while: "After all, it's money and jewelry, luxury cars and famous watches... maybe there are beauties?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Ling Changfeng suddenly raised his eyes and glanced at him meaningfully.
Xu Xinghe shrank his neck inexplicably.
Adjutant Qin laughed out of character, "Pfft ha ha ha ha ha ha—you guessed it halfway, there are some who give money and jewelry, luxury cars and famous watches, but there are really no beauties... Why do you think so? Before meeting you, our marshal was a famous fake monk..."
As soon as he finished speaking, a cold look came over him, scaring Qin Yuan into silence for an instant.
He coughed twice and smoothed things over: "Ahem, I mean, our marshal is selfless, treats money like dirt, and doesn't care about these worldly temptations at all. There was once a big plutocrat on a planet who held a so-called Gamma The largest natural sapphire in the galaxy, I wanted to ask him to do something, but was sent back directly by the marshal."
"Oh." Xu Xinghe nodded, feeling a sense of freshness like listening to a story, but also suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of loss.
He remembered the gift he had prepared for Ling Changfeng.
The "little surprise" he took as a thank you gift was lying in the small box in his right pocket at the moment, and he originally planned to give it out after dinner.
But now, listening to what Qin Yuan said, so many people rushed to give gifts with priceless gifts, but they couldn't even see Ling Changfeng's face...
Suddenly, I felt that the little things I bought online were a bit out of hand.
However, Ling Changfeng still didn't open any pots and lifted which pots: "Didn't you say that you also want to give me a surprise?"
Yitong turned to Xu Xinghe slowly: "What is it?"
Marshal Ling was still expressionless when he said this, but Xu Xinghe seemed to see a cat tail dangling leisurely behind him, as if he was looking forward to it.
This expectation made Xu Xinghe even more embarrassed.
But since Ling Changfeng had already asked, he had no choice but to take out the small box from his pocket: "It's nothing... just a very small gift."
This is a pair of cufflinks that he accidentally saw on the advertisement column when he searched the topic of "what is a good gift for a man" on the Internet yesterday morning.
Initially, he was drawn to the sapphires on his cufflinks.
Because the pure blue color was too close to the color of Ling Changfeng's right eye, Xu Xinghe paused slightly with his fingertips, and involuntarily clicked into the advertisement link.
Then, he saw another pair of amber cufflinks under the link, the color was a bit darker than Ling Changfeng's left pupil, but it was also very close.
Xu Xinghe's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly had an idea.
He bought these two pairs of cufflinks together, and contacted the seller to add the shipping fee, asking for expedited delivery.
Fortunately, it was delivered in the same city, so I received this gift that night.
Xu Xinghe took out one cufflink of each of the two colors, put it into a small box, and packed it carefully. Because the two models are the same, but the colors are different, so it doesn't seem inconsistent to make a pair.
So when Ling Changfeng opened the small box, he saw a sapphire blue and an amber gold cufflink lying quietly in the navy blue velvet cloth.
Startled slightly, he took out the cufflinks.
Then he unhurriedly fastened on his cuffs.
His movements have always been crisp and neat, and he is not procrastinating. At this moment, there is a bit of elegant elegance, and it seems that he is slowly appreciating the new gift he has received.
Marshal Ling fastened the cuff buttons, adjusted the cuffs again, and suddenly raised his head and asked Xu Xinghe: "Is this the color you matched?"
Xu Xinghe was already a little discouraged, so he didn't notice the caution in his movements.
Hearing his question at this moment, I thought he saw some flaws, so he drank the already cold sweet porridge and said absent-mindedly: "Yes, if you don't like it, you can pick it..."
Before the words finished, Ling Changfeng interrupted: "I never wear anything I don't like on my body."
Xu Xinghe was slightly taken aback, then raised his head.
Ling Changfeng lowered his head and continued arranging the cufflinks, adding seemingly casually: "I don't cook for people I don't like."
Xu Xinghe's face turned red.
Ling Changfeng raised his eyes and asked again, "Where are the other two cuff buttons?"
Xu Xinghe stammered and replied: "In, at my place... what's wrong?"
Ling Changfeng pondered for a moment, did not answer directly, but changed the topic: "When you wear military uniforms, you can't wear these."
"I know." Xu Xinghe nodded, "I see that you usually wear shirts in private, so I think cufflinks are probably useful to you. But these are small things, you can wear them or not according to your mood."
As soon as the words fell, Ling Changfeng said: "Well, when I don't wear military uniform, I will often wear it."
Xu Xinghe: "..."
It doesn't need to be worn often.
"When you wear a shirt, you can also wear it." Ling Changfeng said.
"Ah?" Xu Xinghe was stunned, thinking: Why should I bring this?
Ling Changfeng saw his doubts, and explained: "Otherwise, there is still a pair, what are you going to do with it? It would be a waste if left alone."
After a pause, he reminded him again: "Don't give it away."
Xu Xinghe: "?"
Marshal Ling lowered his eyes and said, "I don't want to collide with other people."
"Oh." Xu Xinghe agreed, "Then put it on when I wear a shirt next time."
Marshal Ling nodded in satisfaction.
Fingertips caressingly brushed over the cuffs, without saying anything.
Only Adjutant Qin, who was hiding aside and acted as a transparent person, saw through his own official's careful thoughts at a glance—
Isn't this a couple model
