Reborn Spicy Little Wife

Chapter 340 Housewarming Celebration (2)

Actually, Luo Ning was just thinking about the commotion she had heard in the small courtyard earlier, which turned out to be the families surrounding her sister-in-law.

She thought she heard something about job openings; those people were really dreaming!

"I understand, thank you so much for thinking of me so much!" Luo Ning expressed her heartfelt gratitude to Tong Nan.

Neutrality doesn't necessarily mean opportunism, but it certainly means intelligence, as cunning as a monkey, never acting until there's a clear benefit.

Luo Ning dislikes approaching someone with ulterior motives.

She will indeed need to hire workers in the future, but she will recruit from the general public.

She doesn't run a shelter, she has no obligation to take in women who have spread rumors and slandered others, and she certainly wouldn't bring the habit of gossiping to her own territory.

"I'm glad you think that way. I was worried you'd think I was being difficult!" Tong Nan finally felt relieved.

Luo Ning smiled and said, "How could that be? I'm young and inexperienced. It's thanks to someone like you who's been through a lot that I can avoid making mistakes. I'm so grateful to you!" She was speaking from the heart, being honest with a genuine person.

Luo Ning really enjoys associating with people like this; there's no need to scheme, it's easy and reassuring!

Tong Nan felt completely at ease. She had always thought that Luo Ning was a pretty good girl.

However, Teacher Fu's concerns are not unreasonable. After all, she is too straightforward and might ramble on if she doesn't speak properly.

"Okay, it's rare that we hit it off, and your sister-in-law is willing to talk to you. They were all surrounding me just now."

It was Teacher Fu who came to my rescue, saving me from this predicament, and then we came together.

Teacher Fu said today is your housewarming day. See how different that cultured person's way of speaking is? We have to prepare dinner for many people tonight; you definitely can't manage alone! We came early to help, and I also brought over all the things you asked me to buy on my bicycle!

As they spoke, the two went into the kitchen.

Luo Ning was inexplicably moved when he saw Fu Qingjin sitting in a wheelchair, playing with chopsticks and teasing the crayfish.

Aunt Fu came to help despite her physical limitations because she was worried that she wouldn't be able to handle the workload.

She remembered this kindness.

During my time in the military region, I've made quite a few enemies, but the only people I've truly befriended are Sister-in-law Fu, Sister-in-law Tong, and Zhang Yue.

Zhang Yue had to take care of Mingwei and her aunt, so the work today mainly fell on the three of them.

"You're short-handed here, so I came to check. I hope I don't cause you any trouble!" Fu Qingjin smiled and put down her chopsticks, which were quickly taken over by crayfish.

"How could that be? I'm so glad you could come!" Luo Ning smiled, her eyes crinkling, and pulled out the menu.

Fu Qingjin quickly scanned the entire document and finally felt relieved. Luo Ning was indeed very capable, and now she and Tong Nan knew what to prepare.

"I'm going to give Xie Chang'an an IV drip first, I'll be right back!" Luo Ning turned and left, her steps unusually light.

Tong Nan finally came to her senses. Although she couldn't read many words, she could vaguely tell from the long list that there were quite a few dishes tonight. "Teacher Fu, isn't this too much?"

Fu Qingjin smiled slightly and remained silent.

Luo Ning is trying to make Chang'an look good. Chang'an is lucky to have such a wife, but...

Thinking of Chang'an's entrustment, she felt immense pressure.

In the master bedroom, as Luo Ning was giving Xie Chang'an an IV drip, she lowered her voice and asked, "The Moutai was a gift from the division commander, and the Luzhou Laojiao was a gift from Regiment Commander Yang, right?"

"Yes!" Xie Chang'an gave her a "my wife is so smart" look and tucked the hair that was hanging by her ear behind her ear.

"We only invited them over for a meal to liven things up, but they brought gifts. What are we going to do now?"

"It's alright, we'll just return the favor. I'll go prepare it in a bit! We'll return the favor to everyone who gives us a gift. Also, I'm planning to give Shen Da'an a small gift to thank him for helping me frame Tian Susu. Once I've wrapped the gift, you can give it to him secretly!"

I brought your medicine for tomorrow as well, so you don't have to make multiple trips.

"Hmm..." Xie Chang'an sighed inexplicably, thinking how thoughtful his wife was.

Xie Chang'an was overjoyed that his child would receive an IV drip at home tomorrow.

These past two days, various people have been putting pressure on him or trying to recruit him, and he'd love to stay home and have some peace and quiet.

Luo Ning got up, adjusted the drip rate to a suitable speed, walked to the dressing table, sat down, and untied her bun to braid it into a scorpion braid, so that her hair wouldn't keep falling down and flying around.

It's okay if it falls on the ground, but it'll be a problem if it falls into the pot.

Xie Chang'an leaned back in his chair, watching Luo Ning's every move intently, completely bewildered. A woman combing her hair was so complicated…

After combing her hair, Luo Ning saw Xie Chang'an in the mirror and immediately sent him out.

She opened her wardrobe and pulled on a loose light blue t-shirt and white casual pants.

She moved some of the clothes from her old place to her new home so she could change and wash them more easily.

Luo Ning's eyes flashed, and he rummaged through his space for a while, finding a bamboo curtain and a measuring tape, a few old loofahs and a few entrenching tools, a water pipe and three aprons.

After cutting it to the size of the door, I hung it up so I didn't have to close the door. It also kept flies out and made the room cooler with the cross breeze.

Xie Chang'an's gaze followed her figure the whole time, unable to look away.

Luo Ning cleaned up the mess, put the wine on the coffee table into the wine cabinet, carried the old loofah and water pipe into the kitchen, distributed aprons to Fu Qingjin and Tong Nan, and kept one for herself to tie on.

Fu Qingjin came from a good family and married well. She didn't expect her to do anything for her. The fact that she came was already a great honor for Xie Chang'an.

Today's tasks still fall on her and Tong Nan's shoulders; she will be the head chef, and Tong Nan will assist her.

Under Luo Ning's direction, preparations in the kitchen proceeded rapidly, interspersed with the sounds of the three of them talking.

Every time Fu Qingjin steered the conversation toward what Luo Ning would do next, Luo Ning skillfully evaded the topic with various tricky angles, completely refusing to engage with Fu Qingjin.

Xie Chang'an, you're really something, using a roundabout approach to achieve your goal again!

Xiao Di was secretly thinking to himself as he rested at the military training ground.

He borrowed a bicycle today and went to the battalion commander's house to work at noon.

The battalion commander is still recovering from his injuries and can't do anything. His wife definitely can't manage on her own, so he has to go and help out with something...

During the lunch break, Xiao Di immediately rode his bicycle away from the military region.

The crowd carrying lunchboxes to get food saw Xiao Di's back and wondered why he was running outside in the middle of the day instead of eating.

"Deputy Battalion Commander Xie is treating us to a housewarming party today, Xiao Di must have gone to his house!" someone shouted.

Some people couldn't help but feel annoyed when they heard this.

If only they had gotten closer to Deputy Battalion Commander Xie earlier, they could have had a share of the housewarming meal.

I heard Luoning is very generous; the food today must be delicious...

A dozen minutes later, Xiao Di had just parked his car under the jujube tree when he spotted a familiar figure getting closer and closer, and his lips twitched.

"Battalion Commander, Sister-in-law, let's see what work we have to do!" Xiao Di lifted the bamboo curtain and walked in, feeling as if he had entered a palace.

My goodness, the battalion commander's house is so beautiful.

One after another, they poured in, looking around curiously as if they were entering a grand garden.

Xie Chang'an was sitting in the living room peeling garlic when he glanced around and saw that, well, everyone except Xu Jianbin was there...

Luo Ning and the others, who were busy in the kitchen, paused. Tong Nan slipped to the door and peeked in. "Luo Ning, more than a dozen people have arrived. What are we going to do for lunch?"

They had almost finished preparing lunch, but with so many people arriving now, there definitely wouldn't be enough food...

Fu Qingjin was also a bit at a loss. They had prepared the dishes that morning, but hadn't really done anything else.

Luo Ning made the arrangements in three seconds and strode out.

With guests arriving, she, as the hostess, couldn't refuse to show up.
