Lu Zetian rushed to the meeting room, just in time for the meeting to end.
Captain Le, who just came out of the door, saw Lu Zetian and asked, "Why did you borrow the car? I couldn't even find you in the meeting."
Before Lu Zetian could speak, the political commissar inside called him, "Xiao Lu is back? Come in quickly."
"Yes!" Lu Zetian responded loudly, nodded to Captain Le, took advantage of the situation without explaining, and walked around him into the conference room.
Captain Le looked at the closed door with an ugly expression on his face.
what attitude? Even if they are two at the same level, he is also a senior, okay? So perfunctory and indifferent?
He was promoted to regimental commander in his forties, but Lu Zetian was promoted in his twenties. No one in the army envied him. But people have real skills, everyone is envious, but they are still convinced.
Captain Ke Le just feels very uncomfortable, isn't he good at machinery and technology? Why do they value him so much?
In other respects, who is not a good player? When he was carrying out the task, he never coaxed him! Everything is done beautifully.
Going to university and understanding technology means you have the ability?
Captain Le sighed and left, thinking that he really couldn't understand and couldn't learn those things, it wasn't because he didn't work hard.
heart block.
Going to the cafeteria for dinner, Captain Le frowned when he heard that Lu Zetian had returned, and instead of directly coming to the army after hearing the news, he sent his wife and children home first.
"There's a problem with your attitude. Doesn't he understand that business is the most important thing?"
The chatter next to him shut up quickly when he heard the words, looked at each other and then didn't speak, quickly finished his meal and slipped away.
Then this incident came out for some reason, saying that the head of the group Le criticized Lu Zetian for his improper attitude, and said that Lu Zetian used the public to seek personal gain and so on.
In the afternoon, this word reached the ears of political commissar Zheng, and he asked Lu Zetian what happened in public at the small meeting.
Head Le, who was next to Lu Zetian, was a little stunned when he heard it. He didn't expect that his casual words would be spread so outrageously.
"Today is the birthday of the twins. Qin Shi and I took the children to the county for a stroll. This was their first visit to the county. Afraid that they would be squeezed by the bus, we applied to borrow a car," Lu Zetian explained with a flat expression. To: "On the way, Qin Shi didn't feel well, so I sent them back home, and then came here."
The logistics minister nodded, "I approved the car loan slip yesterday afternoon."
"Business is important, but family is also important," Political Commissar Zheng looked at Head Le, "Today is Lu Zetian's vacation, so we can't say anything if he doesn't come, but he's still here. He still values business."
Lu Zetian is a well-known model worker who does not take vacations all year round and works every day. Everyone in the army knows this. He was only on vacation once, and he was arrested halfway. What Captain Le said was a bit harsh.
Captain Le was a little anxious, "I didn't mean anything else, I just said that business is the most important thing, I don't know why he is dressed like this, I didn't criticize him!"
Commissar Zheng waved his hand, "Okay, you can pay more attention in the future." He knew that Captain Le had some opinions on Lu Zetian, but he was not a person with bad intentions, but his temper was too old-fashioned and stubborn.
Now when he said this, he didn't mean to blame anyone, but he just reminded Captain Le not to be outspoken in the future, and to say anything outside, why should he be more careful.
He knew that Captain Le had no bad intentions. Others thought that he had opinions on Lu Zetian and that they were all comrades-in-arms. Harmony is the kingly way, and it would not be good to make some messy messages.
Commander Le wanted to say something but saw that Political Commissar Zheng was talking about something serious, so he could only respond and kept his words in his heart.
After the meeting, Captain Le followed up with Lu Zetian and apologized to him, "I didn't know you were on vacation today, so I just said that. I'm sorry, I really didn't mean anything else. They are all spreading rumors."
Lu Zetian nodded, "I know, I don't mind."
Captain Le wanted to say something more, but Lu Zetian smiled apologetically and said, "The child is still at home waiting for my birthday, so I'll go first, see you later."
After speaking, he strode away.
Captain Le sighed deeply, and went home with his hands behind his back.
After returning home, his wife saw that he was not in a good mood, so she asked him what was wrong. When Captain Le told the story, his wife's expression turned ugly, "Who is spreading nonsense, talking nonsense!"
Captain Le was annoyed, and didn't want to hear her rambling about it, so he turned around and went to wash up.
Captain Le and his wife were also in a bad mood after being raped by him, sitting on the sofa alone and beating up, secretly ruthless those who talked cheaply.
…
What was different from them was that when Lu Zetian returned home, he saw the children gathered around the oven in the yard, squatting in a row, not knowing what they were looking at.
Lu Zetian pushed open the door and went in. The children just turned their heads and took a look, called "Dad" and continued to stare at the oven intently.
This perfunctory made Lu Zetian couldn't help but laugh, "What are you looking at?"
An An immediately replied: "Mom baked a milk egg cake, and we help keep track of the time."
Lu Zetian raised his eyebrows, and said why there was such a sweet smell in the air, it turned out that it was baking a cake.
"Your mother asked me to help build the oven a long time ago, but after it was built, only sweet potatoes were baked. So that's the real purpose."
The three children turned their heads to look at Lu Zetian, and then at the kitchen, and then the twins smiled like flowers, and they were very happy at first sight.
Gu Qinghai was a little depressed, his birthday had already passed, and Qin Shi hadn't come yet at that time, what a pity...
"Be careful not to burn it." Lu Zetian warned, and went back to the room to wash and change clothes.
After changing clothes and coming out, Lu Zetian heard the children screaming and chirping. After opening the door and going out, smelling the sweet and seductive smell in the air, I couldn't help laughing.
Their family likes to eat sweets. The fragrance of this cake is too overbearing, and the children are so surprised.
Qin Shi took out the cake pan with a thick dishcloth and put it on the dining table, ready to let it cool for a while before taking it off the mold, but the children were staring at it eagerly, so Qin Shi called Lu Zetian to come over and help.
"Turn this upside down and knock the cake down, being careful not to break it."
Lu Zetian nodded, walked over with a rag and started to move.
Seeing that he only used a rag, Qin Shi sighed in her heart that it really is a ruthless iron hand, and she is really not afraid of being scalded.
easy to use!
Lu Zetian quickly knocked the cake down, "duang" landed on the chopping board, and bounced twice.
"Wow—" the twins exclaimed, and Gu Qinghai's eyes widened.
Except for some caramel on the surface, the other places are golden and not burnt.
Qin Shi stretched out her hand and pressed the cake, it was soft and bouncy, and she was immediately satisfied. She didn't overturn the car the first time she did it, she was really amazing!
Qin Shi took a knife, cut off the skin of the cake, left the smooth and flat cake embryo, and gave the leftovers to the children.
"You eat these first, and I will touch the cream to make cakes later."
"Yeah!" The children couldn't wait to pick up the cake on the plate, and after stuffing it into their mouths, their eyes sparkled.
"So sweet!"
"It smells so good~"
"Delicious."
The three children covered their mouths. The soft and sweet taste that they had never tasted made them reluctant to swallow it.
Qin Shi looked at them amusedly, picked up a small piece and handed it to Lu Zetian, "Taste it."
Lu Zetian took it, and his eyes changed after he ate it, "It's better than chicken cake."
Qin Shi snorted triumphantly, she had studied this for a long time, and even asked someone to go to the city to bring her butter, which was better than chicken cakes in this era, isn't that normal?
An An raised her hand and explained with some distress: "Mom put a lot of eggs, milk and sugar, of course it's delicious!"
Lu Zetian looked at her and smiled, and was just about to say something, but she stuffed a basin, "Please help quickly after eating, this will take a lot of effort."
It was supposed to be done in the afternoon, but who knows that Lu Zetian went to the army temporarily and didn't come back until after five o'clock.
There are no gelatine sheets in this era, and Qin Shi plans to make cream with pure milk, butter, and sugar. This is completely fine, but the taste will be very thick, suitable for sandwiches but not for decoration.
But in this day and age, there is no need to be so particular about it. It is good to be able to make cream, regardless of whether it is thick or not.
Qin Shi asked Lu Zetian to whip the butter, and stared at him while starting to cook.
Whipping cream is not an easy task, especially when Lu Zetian only uses chopsticks, it is really Qin Shifan who has finished cooking, and the cream is almost meaningless, not well whipped.
Rao was Lu Zetian, his forehead was sweating from exhaustion, and his arms were sore and limp.
Qin Shi saw that it was almost done, so she changed to Lu Zetian and went to deal with it by herself.
The three little ones wanted to help, but they didn't say anything, they could only watch helplessly.
They know that they are too young, and it is useless to get started, and it is a waste of time.
"I'm so tired, Mom and Dad, you've worked hard." An An looked at Qin Shi and Lu Zetian, and suddenly said this.
"Yeah! Thank you for your hard work!" said flatly, "I don't have to do it for birthdays in the future."
They were all tired looking at it, but they didn't expect this thing to be so complicated.
Gu Qinghai also said: "Mom, let me help you for a while." He is also a young man, and he still has a little strength.
Qin and Shi looked up at them, smiling very gently, sensible children really heal people, even if they are tired, they feel that their hard work is not in vain.
"Then you come." Qin Shi handed the cream basin that was ready to be whipped to Gu Qinghai, and went to get the cake embryos, fruits, and canned yellow peaches by herself.
After watching Gu Qinghai fight for a while, Qin Shi asked him to bring the basin to show her when he saw that it was almost done. After she saw it, she confirmed it, and quickly started making cakes.
Qin Shi cut the cake embryo into layers, put chopped yellow peaches on the bottom layer, then spread cream on it, covered it with another layer of cake embryo, and made two different layers of sandwich.
Then began to apply a large amount of cream on top, smoothing it out little by little. There is no tool, and it is really troublesome to do this. Qin Shi was afraid that the meal would be cold, so he let them eat first, and he will come right away.
But none of them wanted to eat first, they all surrounded her, accompanied her and watched her make cakes.
Qin Shi speeded up her movements, and seeing that it was almost flat, she placed petals of oranges and apples on top to make a pattern.
Completely finished, everyone looked at this cake, and their smiling eyes were blurred.
After everyone washed their hands and sat down, Qin Shi put the cake in the middle of the dining table and asked the twins to close their eyes and make a wish.
She wanted to put in candles, but unfortunately there were only two thick white candles at home, which were not very pretty, so she dismissed the idea.
The smiling dragon and phoenix twins closed their eyes and made a serious wish, then opened their eyes and looked at Qin Shi expectantly, "Is it really possible?"
"Yes!" Pingping nodded with a serious face.
Qin Shi raised her eyebrows and asked, "What wish did you make?"
Gu Qinghai quickly stopped: "It won't work if you say it!"
But it was too late, the twins, together with Gu Qinghai, expressed their wish.
"I hope that our family will spend our birthdays together in the future!"
At this moment, the twins of the dragon and the phoenix are connected with each other, and they uttered exactly the same words in unison.
After finishing speaking, he was shocked again when he heard Gu Qinghai's words, and looked at Qin Shi and Lu Zetian in panic: "What to do, what to do! We have spoken!"
Just as Lu Zetian was about to comfort them, Gu Qinghai said, "If it's this wish, it should be possible."
As he spoke, he looked at Qin Shi and asked expectantly, "Is that right? Mom."
Lu Zetian immediately turned to look at Qin Shi, only to see Qin Shi smiled and said: "But you will grow up, get married, and start your own family with others. We can't always be by your side."
Lu Zetian's heart sank instantly.
The children also pouted, "We won't get married until we grow up!"
Gu Qinghai also nodded: "We want to be with you forever."
Qin Shi said with a smile: "People always have to grow up, but even if you grow up, we can celebrate your birthday together."
"I'm afraid that you will be impatient and unwilling to come to me to celebrate my birthday."
Gu Qinghai stiffened his neck and said, "No way! We will always live at home!"
The twins followed suit and nodded.
Qin Shi patted his head, and changed the subject with a smile: "It's birthday, don't talk about it, let's eat quickly, it's been a while."
"Then you promise us that you will celebrate our birthday with us in the future, every year!" Gu Qinghai looked at Qin Shi stubbornly.
The twins followed suit: "That's right, that's right!"
Even Lu Zetian stared intently at Qin Shi, wanting to know her answer.
Qin Shi smiled: "Of course, as long as you are willing."
Gu Qinghai laughed, and Lu Zetian also let go of his clenched hand at some point.
"Eat and eat."
"Okay~"
"Ah! Delicious meat! Mom, what is it called?" An An's vague voice sounded.
"Sweet and sour pork ribs."
"Woo, water! Water! Spicy!" Covering his mouth, Pingping stretched out his hand towards Lu Zetian.
Lu Zetian hurriedly brought him water to drink, "If you can't eat spicy food, you still have to eat it."
Ping Ping took a few sips of water and smiled "hissing and hissing". He saw that An An's food was delicious, so he wanted to taste it too.
Qin Shi picked up a steamed fish for Gu Qinghai who was beside him with his chopsticks, and Gu Qinghai grinned when he saw that it was the thornless part of the fish.
Lu Zetian thought the cake was in the way, so he picked it up and put it aside, but An An hurriedly called out: "Dad, Dad! Where are you going to take it!"
Lu Zetian was a little helpless: "Just put it aside, and eat this after dinner."
An An immediately buried her head in the rice after hearing the words: "Don't take it away, I've already finished eating!"
Lu Zetian straightened his face, and his tone became serious: "Eat well."
An An, who was thinking about the cream cake, saw Lu Zetian's expression changed, so she didn't dare to talk anymore, and ate seriously.
Qin Shi glared at him slightly, "It's the child's birthday, don't be so fierce."
"That's it!" With Qin Shi's backing, An An was excited again.
Lu Zetian had no choice but to shut up, sit down and eat by himself.
An An saw "victory", and immediately laughed with Pingping.
The atmosphere returned to its usual ease and joy.
The author has something to say:
Qin Shi: Lu Zetian and I won't be together at that time, as long as you are willing to fly to other cities, or if you want me to come back specially to celebrate your birthday, it's fine.
Today's Sister Qin is another day without feelings.
