"Yes, it tastes really good. I'll definitely order it again next time I come."

Shen Jingyue also liked it very much. It seems that the chef of this state-run restaurant is really good at cooking. He can make such delicious wontons, and the soup is also very delicious.

Sister-in-law Lu chimed in, "I was thinking of packing two bowls to take home for my kids to try, but it's too far away, and the wontons will probably be soggy by the time I get home."

"I don't know if they sell pre-packaged wontons here. I'd like to buy some to cook at home, and I'm not worried about them clumping together."

Sister-in-law Lu really intended to do this, and since the portion was large and didn't require coupons, she could buy two bowls, add some noodles at home, and everyone could get a share.

"Hey, that's a good idea. Why don't we ask them after we've eaten?" Sister Wang had the same idea.

Unfortunately, Shen Jingyue's words made them give up on that idea.

"It's a pity that the weather is hot now. Even if I could buy them, it would take so long to get home, and the wontons would spoil by the time I get there."

She wasn't wrong; with the hot weather, wontons definitely wouldn't keep for long.

If there's no ice available right now, and you want to buy some to take home, it's better to just buy meat and flour and cook it yourself at home.

If it's cold, it might be okay.

The weather must be bad right now.

"Shen is right, I had completely forgotten about it. Oh well, we'll bring the kids here to eat next time we come to the county market."

The woman felt contempt for them when she saw how pathetic they were.

They're obviously country bumpkins. What's so special about wontons? Only uncultured people like them would think they're delicious.

Shen Jingyue and the others had no idea what she was thinking, and everyone ate with great relish.

Just as they were halfway through their meal, the person sitting opposite them brought over their food.

Perhaps because the woman's attitude wasn't very good, the staff member's attitude wasn't particularly good when serving the dishes either.

He put down the vegetables and flatbread, turned around, and left.

That woman isn't blind; she could naturally see it.

She was furious, but she couldn't say anything, which made her feel incredibly frustrated.

But remembering that Brother Wang was still sitting beside her, she forced an unnatural smile and said, "Brother Wang, let's eat quickly."

The man picked up a pancake, rolled it up with meat, and started eating.

Shen Jingyue and the others ate quickly. After they finished eating, they didn't stay there for long, since it was mealtime and there were quite a few people eating.

They left after they finished eating.

However, the military vehicles won't be back until after 1 a.m., and it's only a little past 11 a.m. now, so it's still early.

They wandered around the county at their leisure, and when they had seen enough, they went to wait at the place where they got off the bus.

There are seats here where they can sit and wait, but when they arrived they already saw many of the women who had come out with them that morning, and they were already waiting in the shade here.

Everyone sat together, chatting as they waited, and time flew by.

As soon as the military vehicles arrived, they all jumped on.

The vehicle traveled for more than an hour before returning to the unit.

Shen Jingyue was exhausted.

When they got home, Sister Lu took out the things she had asked her to buy that day and put them on the table.

Shen Jingyue took out the money and tickets and handed them to her, including the money for the wontons at noon.

After receiving the money, Sister-in-law Lu did not linger and took her things home.

Qin Xiang'an returned home early as soon as he finished work.

As soon as I got home, I was greeted by the enticing aroma of food wafting from my own kitchen.

He quickened his pace and went into the kitchen.

As soon as I entered, I saw my wife wearing an apron and cooking, while the child was sleeping in a stroller by the kitchen door.

Shen Jingyue could see the child's figure with just a turn of her head.

She had just heard the door open and guessed that Qin Xiang'an must have come back.

Sure enough, the next second they heard Qin Xiang'an's voice.

"Wife." Immediately afterwards, she was pulled into a broad chest by a pair of strong arms.

"Hey, I'm cooking, let go of me."

Shen Jingyue was startled by his sudden hug, and then scolded him playfully.

"No, I want to hold my wife."

He hadn't seen his wife for almost a day, and he didn't even feel like cooking lunch, so he ate lunch in the cafeteria.

"Then you go check on our son first. I can't run away, and I still need to cook."

He was holding it like he was carrying a huge plush toy; it was really heavy.

When Qin Xiang'an saw her cooking, he let go of her, poured some water to wash his hands, and then took the spatula from her hands.

"I'll take care of the rest. You must be exhausted after your trip to the county today."

Shen Jingyue was indeed a little tired, and seeing that he said that, she did not insist on doing it herself.

She smiled and took off her apron, tying it around his waist. She said with a smile, "Then thank you for your hard work, honey."

She tiptoed and kissed him on his handsome, rugged face, then went outside, picked up her son, and brought him back inside.

Qin Xiang'an was delighted by his kisses and even cooked with extra joy.

After the food was ready, Qin Xiang'an carried it back into the house.

While the two were eating together, Qin Xiang'an asked her, "Wife, what did you buy in the county?"

Shen Jingyue pointed to the bag on the table where the teapot was placed.

"I bought some of these small jars, some seasonings, and one more..."

"What else?" Qin Xiang'an asked curiously, placing a piece of food into her bowl.

Shen Jingyue took a women's watch out of her pocket and placed it on the table.

"And a watch."

As Shen Jingyue said this, she looked at him, wanting to see how he would react.

Qin Xiang'an wasn't surprised that she would buy a watch. After all, he gave his wife the money, so she could buy whatever she wanted. It's just that they didn't seem to have any watch vouchers at home.

"Do we have watch tickets at home?" Qin Xiang'an asked curiously.

"You're not upset that I spent so much money on a watch?" Shen Jingyue asked with a smile.

"Here's the money. Buy whatever you want. Oh, I forgot, I didn't give you any dowry when you married me. Buy whatever you want. If you don't have the tickets, just tell me and I'll get them for you."

"If you want a sewing machine or a bicycle, that's fine too. I'll get you a ticket and I'll have enough money. I'll go with you to the county to sell them."

Shen Jingyue was quite satisfied with his words and said with a smile, "There's no need for that for now. I don't know how to make clothes, and even if we buy a bicycle, there's no use for it. Let's talk about it when we need it later."

It's so far from the county town, it takes more than an hour to get there by car. Even if we buy this bicycle, we can only ride it in the family compound or nearby villages.

But she rarely goes out, and even if she does, it's just a short walk, so she really doesn't need the bicycle.
