After Qin Yu finished his shower, Chu Molin went in to take his. Before he was done, Li Dabao and Ding Xi had already arrived.

Each of them carried something in their hands. Qin Xue was astounded. The men around here really are unique in bringing canned food or wine as gifts.

The items they brought were as practical as could be.

Qin Xue was suddenly curious, when Chu Molin visited others for dinner, did he also bring these things?

“You could have just come without bringing anything. What’s with all these?” Qin Xue felt a bit awkward for having invited the guests for dinner and they brought their food.

“Sister-in-law, we didn’t have anything special to bring, so we just grabbed something.” Ding Xi had a more lively character and answered hastily after listening to Qin Xue.

He certainly didn’t dare to offend his sister-in-law as they thought the commander was joking when inviting them for dinner. Who knew it would actually happen?

In the afternoon when they heard from Wei Shaohui, they were somewhat doubting whether it was true.

The disbelief was not in Chu Molin’s intent to treat them to a meal, but that he actually invited them to his house for the meal.

Why such thoughts? It was because Qin Xue was pregnant and inconvenienced by her swollen belly.

Hence, they had agreed to bring some items to alleviate the burden of cooking from Qin Xue’s shoulders.

With so many big men dining together, the quantity of food needed could be taxing for a normal woman to prepare, much more for a pregnant one like Qin Xue. Hence, the current situation arose.

“Alright, just put it there, everyone, go and take your seats, dinner will be ready soon.” Qin Xue pointed to a table for everyone to sit.

When Qin Yu came out of the room, he saw his sister’s cluelessness on how to handle the array of items.

He found his sister quite adorable as others would love to receive more gifts while his sister was perplexed on what to do with them.

“Big brother Ding Xi, Brother Deng Kai, Da Bao, come on in, have a seat.” Qin Yu walked over to save his sister from the awkward situation.

“Good lad, Xiao Yu, you are doing well.” Ding Xi admired Qin Yu. He could endure hardship and took his training seriously.

People like him usually turn out to be successful in life.

It was a pity that he was past the eligible age to serve in the army.

“Ah, it smells delicious.” Li Dabao mentioned, smelling the aroma in the air.

He couldn’t help but long for the smell of the food ever since he tasted Qin Xue’s cooking.

Right now, he could eat it again and the feeling was truly indescribable.

The guests gradually assembled and Chu Molin asked everyone to sit down.

Then came the serving of dishes, the pouring of drinks, and the feasting, with men chowing down enthusiastically.

As for Qin Xue and her mother, they did not join the table but ate in the kitchen with some leftover dishes.

As for Chu Molin, Qin Xue did not bother him.

She had seen his wound before. Any man who could heal such serious injuries in only about ten days…

Qin Xue felt there was no need for her to worry excessively.

“Deputy Chief, sister-in-law’s culinary skills are fantastic. In our countryside, we have a lot of these shell-on shrimps.

But no one eats them. I didn’t expect that they could be so delicious after being prepared like this.” Li Dabao was eating crayfish and speaking at the same time.

“Molin, when will you let your sister-in-law teach your wife some of these culinary skills?

The taste is divine, very satisfying.” Mr. Xie was especially fond of the spicy crayfish.

“Indeed, I’ll also let Yu Xiu learn some cooking skills from sis-in-law next time.” Xu Fangzhou felt that every time he ate dishes prepared by Qin Xue, he was experiencing a new way of cooking.

Many dishes were common cuisine, but Qin Xue cooked them in a way that was different from their usual experiences.

For instance, cabbage, which they usually cut and cooked directly in water, Qin Xue chopped into thin slices and stir-fried with oil, resulting in a more flavorful dish.
