I am in the courtyard, animals are just vegetables!

Cao Dongfang came to the workplace of Uncle Xie, Uncle Wang, and Uncle Zhang, and talked to them about attending his wedding on the 5th floor of the State Guesthouse at : on Sunday.

I left with my three uncles promising me the best of luck.

There was basically no need to notify the rest of the people, so He Yushui asked Cao Jiajia to call them.

Director Wang from the Street Office will see if there are any seats available tonight.

Inform the three MCA members at dinner tomorrow.

......

Cao Dongfang picked up Song Xianxian and returned home at five o'clock in the afternoon. Cao's mother and Cao Jiajia were both at home.

Cao Dongfang took four large sacks of food in two trips.

Cao Jiajia and Song Xianxian took the gifts from the Song family, and the four of them came to the Song family.

......

After Cao Dongfang and Song Xianxian introduced the two parties, everyone went into the living room and sat on the sofa.

Aunt Song brought her second daughter-in-law Wu Qingyan, and the two of them left behind ten dishes, one soup, ten white flour buns, and ten big meat dumplings.

Put all the leftover dishes in the freezer and eat them slowly.

The dishes Cao Dongfang brought were both numerous and delicious.

The second daughter-in-law, Wu Qingyan, was so greedy that she almost shed tears. She ate it once at noon and wanted to eat it again.

We have sea cucumbers, bird's nests, abalone, and shark fins here.

Each dish was frozen. Cao Dongfang was very considerate and there were small notes on them.

It says what dish it is! Taste.

Aunt Song has sorted it out.

The second daughter-in-law is responsible for preparing hot dishes, which are steamed directly in a steamer.

Steam it for a while longer and eat in 25 minutes, it’s only six o’clock.

......

"Mother-in-law, we are getting married on the 7th. The main problem now is that there are not enough seats. Can Dongfang really give us a table?" Commander Song asked.

Mom, "Okay, but they're not enough. Dongfang wants to call only the people he must call! He won't call the rest. There's too little left. He'll find another way to arrange one!"

"Dongfang, we have a total of thirty-nine people here, including the table you gave up.

Can we seat 35 people and add four more chairs? "Commander Song said the number of people he wanted to invite.

"It should be possible. A table and a chair shouldn't be a problem.

We just need to squeeze in, it’s not like we added too many chairs! “Cao Dongfang thought it was okay to sit down.

Song Xianxian, "Dongfang, you forgot about Mr. Wei and Aunt Wei!"

"Damn it! I think I really forgot about that. Just add some chairs, one for each table. It's their business if they squeeze in a little. It has nothing to do with us two.

Uncle Song, what about the relatives at home? Are we going out to eat on Saturday lunchtime? I will give benefits to all those who don’t go! "

Commander Song, “Let them eat at home on Sunday at noon. You brought back a lot of food.

They had to figure it out on their own. There were too many people, and only about twenty were left.

We are all relatives, and the food is not bad, so don't worry about it! There is no need to do anything else! "

"Okay then. The number of people attending the wedding has been decided. Uncle Song, do you have anything else to say?" Cao Dongfang asked again.

Mom, "My dear, if you have anything to say, please tell me. We are almost a family now, so you are welcome!"

"It's nothing serious, it's just that we have spoiled Xianxian since she was a child. If there is anything wrong with her, Dongfang should be more considerate of her and don't be angry with her.

Mother-in-law, please forgive me. "Commander Song is a little embarrassed.

"Haha, it's okay, I really like Xianxian's personality, and it doesn't matter if she can't cook.

Dongfang can cook, and Xianxian is not lazy, she just doesn't know how to cook. "Mom agreed immediately.

"Thank you, mother-in-law. Old Song and I have three sons and a youngest daughter. We have spoiled her a little!" Aunt Song came back.

"It's all the same, Dongfang does more housework, and Jiajia doesn't work much either.

As long as people are not really lazy, it’s okay if they can’t do some things, they can do other things! "Mother Cao smiled.

Aunt Song, "Thank you, mother-in-law. Xianxian is not very good at cooking, which is really worrying!"

“It’s okay, we know Xianxian can’t cook, but Jiajia and I can cook so we don’t have to.

It’s no different from not knowing how to cook! " said my mother with a smile.

"This way, we basically have nothing else to do. I hope they can live a good life after they get married."

"Mom, we will live a good life! Don't worry!"

"Uncle Song and Auntie, rest assured, we will live our lives well!"

"Oh! Excuse me, our daughters have grown up and are about to get married. We just hope that they can live a good life after marriage!" Aunt Song smiled.

"It's okay, I understand!" said Cao's mother with a smile.

......

Song Qianli, "Dongfang, this is the braised pork you made. It's really delicious. I've been in the northwest for seven years and I've never had a proper braised pork meal.

The army is running low on supplies! "

Cao Dongfang, "The Northwest is suffering a little bit. The country does not have enough supplies, and the soldiers can't eat well, but it will get better slowly!"

Mom, "People in the East and Northwest are suffering, so can't the army do the same?"

“No, especially since 59, there has been almost no harvest in the northwest. Without a harvest, how can there be meat farming?

There is no shortage of large breeding bases in the Northwest, and there are many pastures, but the utilization rate is not high.

The state will send the herdsmen there to raise cattle, sheep and other large livestock! It will be fine! "Cao Dongfang talked about the situation in the northwest.

Commander Song, "Is the current national economy in the northwest, southwest, and central regions not doing well?"

“It’s not just these places, the whole country is not good, and the northwest is the worst.

The biggest reason is the lack of water. In some places, it’s hard for people to even drink water! Not to mention doing other things!

We are also short of water here. Isn't there a 'Water Diversion from South to North' project? The west must have it too! "

"Without water, there is no way to develop industry or agriculture, which is more important than electricity!" Cao Dongfang explained.

......

"Alas! There is a reason why the Northwest is poor. There is a real shortage of water there. It's better in the cities, but it's really bad in the countryside!

Our army has helped with many rural projects, but when it comes to water, there is not enough water! There is really no way! "Song Qianli shook his head.

"Why don't we just let the country 'transfer water from the south to the north'? The country doesn't lack people." Aunt Song didn't understand.

Cao Dongfang, "No, that won't work. The terrain in the northwest is relatively high. It's not like the several large provinces around us that are short of water. We can transfer water from the middle and lower reaches of the river.

'Water flows to the lower places' The northwest belongs to the middle and upper reaches, and water must be transferred from the upper reaches of the river! That is, the plateau province!

It is unknown how many years it will take just to conduct a topographic survey of the terrain there.

If we continue to use pure manual labor, it will not be feasible and too many people will die.

If the country's technological level is not up to par, or the country has no money, the 'Water Diversion from South to North' project in the Northwest will not happen. There is no other way! The country will have to worry about it! "

Commander Song, "Alas! We are soldiers, we really don't understand such things, eat vegetables!"

......

Song Chunyu, "Grandpa, grandma, that fish is delicious! You eat it, and Grandma Cao eats it too."

Song Chunsheng, "It's delicious, you guys eat it!"

"You guys eat, grandma also likes other dishes." Aunt Song said softly.

Mom, "Chunyu and Chunsheng, if you like, eat more. Grandma Cao likes other dishes! Thank you!"

"Brother, do you think my favorite sweet and sour series is more popular?" Cao Jiajia said happily. Two more people who like sweet and sour fish like him appeared.

I am not alone!

"I've been eating this for ten years since I was three years old. Eat more sweet and sour pork tenderloin, and let Chunyu and Chunsheng eat the fish!"

"All right!"

"Dongfang, where are the fish bones in this fish?" The second daughter-in-law Wu Qingyan wanted to pick out the bones but found that there were none.

No wonder the two children love to eat it!

In the past, people had to pick out the bones from carp themselves before eating them.

Now we don’t need to do that anymore, it still has a strong sweet and sour taste, it’s normal for children to like to eat it.

"Dongfang used his inner strength to shake the thorns out! The fish he cooked had no bones at all.

Just eat yours and ignore them! "Aunt Song told Wu Qingyan.

"Use your internal force to shake out the thorns! Use your physical force to cook! You are awesome!" Song Qianli said. "The big buns are delicious. Compared with the food in the East, I have been eating pig food in the army for the past few years.

The meat was wasted by the kitchen staff! "

Aunt Song, "The food there is not good, come back to improve the food. Dongfang brought a lot of food home, including braised pork, so you can eat enough!"

Cao Dongfang, "Hurry up and finish eating. Let me know and I'll send you some more!"

"Dongfang, Xianxian, how many days of vacation will you take after your marriage?" Song Qianli asked Cao Dongfang and the others.

Song Xianxian, "I will be on vacation starting from tomorrow at noon, for a total of eleven and a half days. I will be transferred to the main hospital after my marriage.

Dongfang basically doesn't have to go to work now, so he has the final say on the days off he has! "

“Don’t you have to go to work?”

"I took a week off after marriage, and then went back to work. Now I have more time to rest, and it's not good not to go to work! I can rest and study at the factory!"
