Military marriage, the last big man married the soldier king, the stronger the stronger

The room was a mess, with dirty clothes everywhere.

There is a lot of dust on the floor and on the table. I don’t know how long the leftovers in the kitchen have been there. They have grown mold and smell very strong.

"Stand at the door and don't come in. I'll clean up."

Soldiers have housekeeping requirements and love cleanliness. For someone like Zhang Xingye who was transferred to a local area but couldn't take time to clean up his house due to busy work, it is an unexpected situation.

He is a bachelor. When he is busy with a case, he is away from home for five or six days, and sometimes he works non-stop for half a month. Who will take care of him?

Si Lu cleaned up the kitchen waste first, and took all the dishes to the washroom to clean them. Then he filled another basin with water and cleaned all the places in the house that could be cleaned. He changed the water twice before cleaning the window sills, cabinet lids, and the dust on the sofa.

"Yanyan, wait a moment, I'll mop the floor."

Si Lu was busy and sweating, but the house was too dirty and there was no place to step. If he didn't clean it up, what would he do if his wife choked him?

Si Lu changed two buckets of water and finally cleaned the house. It took him two hours to clean. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that he had lost a lot this time.

"Yanyan, come in and sit for a while." They had been busy cleaning up for a long time, and before they could even sit down, Zhang Xingye came back.

When he entered the house, he almost thought he had come to the wrong place. It was not until he saw Jiang Yan and Si Lu that he realized what was going on. He immediately laughed out loud, "What a blessed man! There is a snail girl in my house."

Si Lu's forehead was still sweaty, and he said with a smile: "Old squad leader, you are not the kind of bully. I have been cleaning up for almost two hours, and you came back to enjoy the ready-made food."

"Hehehe, it's said that Old Zhang is lucky! Well, I'll make arrangements tonight, and you and your sister-in-law can have dinner at my place!"

"You can still run away? We are here just for this meal."

"You boy."

It can be seen that Zhang Xingye is really happy. The time they spent together in the army means a lot to them. The comradeship is always the most missed no matter when. Every gathering is full of joy, which makes them miss it for a long time.

Zhang Xingye prepared a particularly sumptuous meal for the evening. He and Si Lu hadn't seen each other for a long time, and since it was the New Year, he prepared a lot of hard dishes.

Jiang Yan wanted to go into the kitchen to help, but was driven out by the two men. "Sister-in-law, just sit and wait for your meal. Leave the rest to us."

"Yes, I told you that as long as I'm here, you don't have to cook. If you feel bored, just read a book."

All right then. Jiang Yan had no choice but to retreat to the second line, and was happy to have some free time.

"If you need any help, please call me." You have to show your attitude.

"Okay, got it. Go sit over there. It's so smoky here. Don't choke on it."

Zhang Xingye was really enlightened. As soon as Jiang Yan left, he nudged Si Lu with his arm and said, "You are really good, if others saw you treating your sister-in-law like this, they would be shocked."

Si Lu has good conditions and many girls pursue him, but he has never seen Si Lu smile at anyone. He always looks like he doesn't want anyone to approach him, which scares away many girls.

"This isn't your first time, why aren't you used to it yet?"

Zhang Xingye did not stop working, and he was also busy talking, "My sister-in-law is worth it. She is beautiful and capable. Where can you find such a good girl?"

Si Lu nodded seriously, "Found it."

"You kid, get out of here~"

Too narcissistic.

The two men showed off their cooking skills and quickly prepared tonight's dishes.

Braised pork elbow, scallion-fried pork ribs, scrambled eggs with soybean paste, sauerkraut stewed with vermicelli, peanuts, and one of the dishes is Si Lu's favorite dried shrimp meatball soup.

"How about it? It's rich, isn't it?"

"This is too sumptuous, Brother Zhang, you're spending too much."

"Hey, what a waste of money!"

Zhang Xingye didn't even take off his apron. As he served the two of them food, he said, "If I'm full, my family won't be hungry. I'm usually too busy with work and have no place to spend my money. Don't worry about my sister-in-law making fun of me. When I'm busy with cases, I don't come home for ten or eight days. My family... Haha, excuse me."

He placed the bowl of rice in front of Jiang Yan and served some rice to Si Lu.

"We understand, but Brother Zhang, you should also take care of your health."

"Hey, I'm used to it." Zhang Xingye brought a bottle of wine and asked Jiang Yan if she wanted to drink some. Just as he was about to unscrew the bottle, he saw Si Lu take the wine away from him.

"Let's not drink this today. I brought some good wine for you to try."

"You also brought me some wine? This wine of mine was given to me by my old leader, it's a special supply. What kind of wine is yours?"

Si Lu took out a marching kettle.

"Sanlouzi?"

Jiang Yan almost choked with laughter at these three words. For some reason, these words sounded particularly funny when they came out of Zhang Xingye's mouth.

"This is not ordinary loose liquor. It tastes really good. Yanyan found it. Before we came, she bought a few kilograms and brought it here especially for you to taste."

"Really? Thank you, sister-in-law, for thinking of me. I'll have to savor it carefully."

Si Lu unscrewed the kettle and poured a glass for each of them. The aroma of wine filled the air, and just the smell was enough to arouse Zhang Xingye's craving for wine.

"Old squad leader, I toast you a glass."

"Good good."

The two men clinked their glasses and took a sip of the wine. The mellow taste with a slight aftertaste immediately conquered Zhang Xingye.

"Is this Sanlouzi? This special offer is delicious."

Jiang Yan lowered her head to eat the food, wondering if this was just ordinary wine. The spiritual spring water mixed in the wine was a good thing that money couldn't buy.

Zhang Xingye is a hero who serves his country and his people. He has many hidden injuries. Jiang Yan gave him some wine in the hope that he could recuperate. A hero should not continue to work hard for the people while suffering from an illness.

The men drank, chatted, and talked endlessly! They started from the recruit company and talked all the way to Zhang Xingye's retirement!

Fortunately, we made it in time! The wine that Jiang Yan brought was of really good quality. I drank a lot, but it didn’t make me drunk. It was all warm, just like taking a hot bath. It was so comfortable.

"By the way, I haven't asked you yet, what are you two doing in the county? Why are you bringing so many things?"

"It's almost Chinese New Year, I plan to take Yanyan back to Beijing to visit my parents. I bought a ticket for the midnight train and came to see the old squad leader first!"

Zhang Xingye smiled even more after hearing this. "You are about to complete a major event in your life. Congratulations to you and your sister-in-law! Please treat me to the wedding wine when the time comes!"

"Can you still run away?"

"Haha, kid, come on, let's go!"

At nine o'clock in the evening, the meal was finally finished!

"Si Lu, you and your sister-in-law don't have to worry. Take a rest here. I'll call the driver at work and ask him to take you to the station. There's plenty of time!"

"Brother Zhang, this is not good!"

"Just listen to me. I know the importance of this!"
