1970s: Hot wife accompanies the army, cold-faced rough man is not easy to tease

Chapter 32 Gu Qingye is really good at telling jokes
Ten minutes later, Gu Qingye came back, and Li Sanhua realized that Lu Youyou was not humble at all.

The man walked into the kitchen calmly, and the woman also moved and started talking.

"The kelp needs to be shredded and blanched before mixing."

"You brought back the fish today? Then you can fry a few more later and I'll make the soup."

"Are you going to braise the pork belly or..."

At first, Lu Youyou was a little hesitant to let go, but time was tight and the task was heavy, so she didn't care about the onlookers. She recalled the recipe and Gu Qingye listened while she cooked.

Li Sanhua felt that her horizons were broadened. She could never have imagined that the two of them would get along in this way.

Fortunately, she has worked in the Women's Federation for many years and has seen all kinds of strange family relationships. Gu Qingye is simply more family-oriented and loves his wife more. He is a thousand times better than those men who beat or scold his wife!
Li Sanhua quickly adjusted her state and rolled up her sleeves again: "Sister, do you want to kill the fish over there? Sister-in-law will help you."

Lu Youyou put the fried pork ribs and kelp into the clay pot. At present, there was only one stove, so the soup could not be put into the pot and could only be simmered in the stove.

Li Sanhua said she really wanted to learn. She asked Lu Youyou, "Is there anything else I need to stew the soaked kelp and pork ribs together?"

"No, just cook it."

Li Sanhua was born in the northern inland area and had never eaten this before: "I learned a new dish today, I will try it next time."

Lu Youyou didn't know whether iodized salt was widely available in China at that time, so she suggested, "Eating more kelp can also prevent and treat goiter."

Li Sanhua's eyes widened. "Really? Eating kelp can cure it?"

She had seen patients with goiter in her hometown before, and they looked so pitiful.

Lu Youyou didn't dare to make a diagnosis without any evidence, and kelp was only effective for simple goiter.

"Not everything can be cured, but it can be prevented to some extent."

"It's good for prevention. I have to buy some too! You know more than me, unlike us who mistake pearls for fish eyes."

Li Sanhua glanced at Gu Qingye, who had no qualms about being a cook, and was very impressed.

"People outside say you two are a perfect match, but let me tell you, the man is talented and the woman is talented, and the man is beautiful and the woman is even more beautiful!"

The more Li Sanhua looked at Lu Youyou, the more she liked her. She pulled her aside and asked, "How have you thought about your work?"

Lu Youyou froze. She had completely forgotten about this.

"I haven't had time to talk to Gu Qingye yet. It's been so busy and chaotic these past two days. I'll discuss it with him once I'm settled."

"Should my sister-in-law tell him that she can't stop you from making progress!"

Lu Youyou was almost at a loss for words when she suddenly thought of a good reason.

"Sister-in-law, I promised the kitchen staff to put together the manual first. It won't be finished in a short while. Why don't you wait until I finish this?"

Li Sanhua nodded, raising pigs is also a big deal.

Lu Youyou breathed a sigh of relief and hurried into the kitchen.

Gu Qingye was shredding potatoes and looked up and asked, "What's wrong?"

Lu Youyou looked at him as if he were her savior: "Sister Li wants to recommend me to work at the Women's Federation, but I don't want to go."

Gu Qingye: "If you don't want to go, then don't go."

Seeing that he didn't hesitate, Lu Youyou couldn't help but ask, "You have no objection?"

Gu Qingye was surprised: "Why do you have any objections?"

"For example, I don't want to make progress?"

"Going to the Women's Federation means you're striving for progress? You saved thirteen lives in the kitchen, isn't that progress?"

Lu Youyou is now certain that Gu Qingye can indeed tell jokes.

She secretly rolled her eyes: "You can laugh when you tell a joke, no need to hold it in." Gu Qingye looked up: "I'm not telling a joke."

I lost, goodbye!

Lu Youyou turned around to leave, but Gu Qingye suddenly called her.

"As long as it doesn't violate the rules, you can do whatever you want and not do what you don't want. I have no problem with that."

Lu Youyou stared at him for a few seconds and smiled, "I see."

Soon, Zhao Wan and her lover Luo Hongqi arrived, bringing several benches with them.

"Sister, happy wedding!" Zhao Wan congratulated Lu Youyou first. "I said I'd come early to help, but I didn't expect Sister Li to come earlier than me."

Luo Hongqi put down his stool and came over, smiling warmly: "Hello, Comrade Lu, I am Luo Hongqi, the instructor of the Third Battalion. I wish you and Lao Gu a happy and harmonious life together."

He doesn't look like a soldier, but more like a scholar, and speaks in a very elegant manner.

At this time, Gu Qingye came out of the kitchen, wearing an apron, and there were two more idiots on the scene.

Luo Hongqi had never cooked in his life, and in his mind, Gu Qingye had nothing to do with pots and pans. When he suddenly saw this scene, he was so shocked that he lost his ability to speak.

Luo Hongqi's father died early, and his widowed mother treated him like the apple of her eye. Later, when he got married, he no longer had to do any housework.

Zhao Wan was also speechless. Besides being shocked, she was more confused.

It turns out that men can also enter the kitchen, while women can only watch.

She subconsciously looked at Gu Qingye, and there was no trace of reluctance on his face.

"What's going on? What are you all doing standing at the door?"

Another man came in from outside the yard, stepped over a bench, pushed aside Luo Hongqi who was acting as the doorman, and when he looked up he met Gu Qingye who was the center of everyone's attention.

Jiang Huaili was also surprised, but who was Gu Qingye? Who could force him?

Maybe they just like cooking, but they just haven't had the chance to show it before.

"Old Gu, are you really the one cooking? Then I'd really like to taste it carefully. People have a keen sense of taste, so please be open to everyone's opinions."

When he thought about tasting Gu Qingye's cooking, he just wanted to start the meal right away.

Gu Qingye smiled and said, "I will humbly accept everyone's opinions, but you don't have to. You can eat uncooked fish with relish. Your taste buds are of no use."

Everyone laughed.

Not long after, the guests arrived one after another, including the children from each family, who were taken back by their parents to change their clothes and come back.

Lu Youyou finally saw the brat that Li Sanhua had mentioned. He was a little boy with a round face and bright eyes. He looked very smart.

Only Ding Tiesheng and Yu Ting were left behind. They arrived when the dishes were almost served.

Ding Tiesheng walked quickly. Seeing so many people in the yard, he hurried a few steps, not forgetting to pull Yu Ting with him.

Yu Ting could only jog along. She was wearing brand new leather shoes and her feet hurt from running.

"Sorry, sorry, we're late. I'll drink three glasses of wine as punishment!"

Ding Tiesheng tried to please both sides with a smile, but Yu Ting was unwilling to cooperate.

She was very angry at noon. Although Ding Tiesheng apologized later and accompanied her to the movies and shopping, she was still unhappy.

I specially picked out a new set of clothes and bought a pair of shoes in the afternoon, but my feet got broken before I even started eating. The blisters hurt so much when I touched them.

What’s even more infuriating is that even though she’s dressed so brightly, she’s still no match for Lu Youyou in her white shirt and black pants.

Don't ask her how she knew that. She was not blind. No one in the yard, young or old, male or female, looked at her.
