Because she wanted to invite Wei Jianwei\'s comrades-in-arms to dinner, He Xiaoyun mentioned it to him at the dinner table the next day. 

"Everything that we must settle here is settled. I want to invite your comrades and their family to a meal so that we can get to know each other. So that if I met someone on the road, I would be able to say hello back."

Wei Jianwei frowned. If it was just his comrades, he would have said no, but He Xiaoyun also mentioned their family members. Thinking that she would have to deal with the women in the family area in the future, Wei Jianwei thought that it\'s fine. If something ever happens in the future, she can ask her neighbors for help. 

Wei Jianwei relented and agreed, "Then, we can invite them to eat in a restaurant."

He Xiaoyun smiled, "Since they\'re your comrades-in-arms, it\'s much sincere to invite them in our house."

"You will be busy alone." Wei Jianwei didn\'t want her to work hard in cooking for others. 

"Don\'t underestimate me." He Xiaoyun arrogantly raised her chin, "When our whole family was busy with farming, I have cooked for six or seven people alone. Besides, sister Xu will definitely help me when the time comes."

Wei Jianwei was reluctant, he suggested, "Should I go to a restaurant to bring back some dishes ?"

"Why not just listen to me?" He Xiaoyun joked, "I want your comrades-in-arms to taste my cooking skills, at that time, people will surely envy you." 

He Xiaoyun had said that but Wei Jianwei didn\'t want others to taste her cooking. Seeing her insistence, Jianwei nodded in defeat, "You don\'t need to cook too much."

"I didn\'t know that you\'re such a petty man." He Xiaoyun thought it was funny.

After making an agreement with Wei Jianwei, Xiaoyun went to talk with Xu Lanxiang. After all, Wei Jianwei only knew about his comrades but Xu Lanxiang knew better about the family situations of these comrades\' family members.

Knowing Xiaoyun\'s intentions, Xu Lanxiang happily explained, "Old Wei is the same as my Old Wang. Old Lin\'s family didn\'t join the army, and Lao Zhao\'s and Lao Zhang\'s family lives upstairs. You\'ve been only here for two days so I haven\'t had the chance to let all of you meet. As for the others, they\'re not in the same area. I usually meet them but I only say hello with a smile. There\'s no need to invite them to dinner."

He Xiaoyun didn\'t expect that this small family building would also be divided into different places.

Xu Lanxiang continued, "As for the children, I have three here. Lao Zhao has one, Lao Zhang has two, plus Xiaoyuan, there are eight. Although the baby wouldn\'t be included in the dinner, your house will definitely be noisy. You\'ll need to be mentally prepared."

He Xiaoyun nodded and after inquiring from Xu Lanxiang, she began to think of a recipe.

Wei Jianwei and the others will be free until the day after tomorrow and there are still two days to go, but He Xiaoyun paid this matter considerable attention, not only for the sake of her communication with the others, but it\'s also not to lose Wei Jianwei\'s face. (reputation)

He Xiaoyun was sitting at the table, thinking about the recipes she would present. 

Wei Yuanhang and Wang Derong were playing with building blocks next to her. 

Last night, Xiaoyun told the little kid that Rongrong can be invited home rather than going to the next house. After eating breakfast, the kid immediately invited his friend over.

Thinking of last night, He Xiaoyun remembered another thing that made her fluster. Her hand subconsciously touched her ear, there seemed to be scorching heat in that area.

He Xiaoyun swears that when Wei Jianwei kissed her ear, she heard a soft sound, and his warm breathe sprayed on her ear.

Thinking about it, He Xiaoyun wanted to cover her face again.

When she woke up this morning, she didn\'t dare to look directly into the eyes of the other person. After a long time of psychological preparation, Xiaoyun deceived herself by saying that she was already a mother of a three-year-old child. 

What\'s all this fuss? Moreover, in her time, all kinds of Xiaohuang(NSFW) advertisements were flying all over the internet, and even more, juicy ones have been seen. Wei Jianwei\'s little tricks are nothing!

It took He Xiaoyun a long time to persuade herself so that she could pretend to talk to the other person as if nothing had happened.

But looking at Jianwei, it looks like nothing has occurred.

He Xiaoyun couldn\'t help but curl her lips. It was him who had kissed her for no reason, and it was him who also acts like he had done nothing. It was really damning that she was troubled here alone.

After thinking for a long time, when He Xiaoyun saw the feeble dish name in the notebook, she shook her head, put the matter behind, and continued thinking about the recipe.

"Mom, does it look like a small train?" Wei Yuanhang asked so suddenly.

He Xiaoyun turned her head and saw that the two children used building blocks to build a simple little train. She smiled and praised them: "It\'s very similar, you guys are amazing."

The two children were very happy and excitedly wanted to build a plane next.

He Xiaoyun looked at them for a while, and suddenly got inspired, she turned around and wrote sweet and sour pork ribs on the paper. This dish is both sour and sweet, children will definitely like it.

When Wei Jianwei came back in the evening, He Xiaoyun had already written a long list of dishes on the paper. However, there were still many dishes to be determined, the final list had not yet been ascertained. 

He Xiaoyun planned to make three meat dishes and three vegetables dishes, then each dish would have more quantity. 

Seeing He Xiaoyun frowning, Wei Jianwei immediately suggested: "We can still go to a restaurant to order some food."

He Xiaoyun glanced at him, "Why don\'t you just come over and help me think of some dishes?"

Wei Jianwei walked over, took the pen in her hand, and wrote a few dishes, "Here."

He Xiaoyun stared dryly at what he wrote, and finally push him away, "Don\'t mess around." She shouldn\'t have asked him for help.

He Xiaoyun temporarily put away the pens and papers on the table, preparing to serve their meal. Today, she didn’t go to the market to buy vegetables. She only used the bacon she brought home to stir-fry the dish of Caixin and make a soup.

"Sister Xu told me that there\'s a market tomorrow. I will take Xiaoyuan with me. I will buy some food and prepare it first. If there\'s not enough, I will go to the market to buy it the day after tomorrow." He Xiaoyun said to Wei Jianwei at the dinner table.

Wei Jianwei nodded, "I\'ll give you the money in a while."

"When you went home(Qinghuihe) last time, you gave me living expenses. There\'s still a lot left of the money, I\'ll use that."

Wei Jianwei insisted, "I was still going to give it to you, not only that, but I will also do so in the future." 

He Xiaoyun just wanted to ask, why are you letting me manage your money? Then it suddenly occurred to her, aren\'t these what the later generations called in the future handing out your money to your wife?

He Xiaoyun felt her heart go \'bang\', she felt embarrassed, and after a few bites of food, she remembered something, "What about mom...?"

In the past, Wang Chunhua was in charge of the family\'s finances. Although she and Yuanhang have come to live with Wei Jianwei in the army, they have not separated yet.

"Last time I was at home, I told mom about this and she agreed."

He Xiaoyun didn\'t expect that, at that time, this man had already thought so much. She thought for a while, "Then, I should send some money back every month."

The Wei family is not particularly wealthy and many people are living in one house. Recently, a new baby has been added, there are a lot of places that need money to be spent.

Wei Jianwei agreed: "Okay, you have the final say."

After dinner, Wei Jianwei really took out the drawer key and handed over the financial power of the family to He Xiaoyun.

Only then did He Xiaoyun know that his monthly salary was quite a lot. It turned out to be ninety yuan.

However, this is because of the rank he has achieved over ten years. The new recruits who have just joined the army have no salary. They only have allowances, which are six yuan a month. The army is responsible for their food and clothing. 

The salary is only available after the promotion. At that time, they have to rely on themselves to eat and dress.

Wei Jianwei previously ate at the army cafeteria, and the food cost was based on the standard of 40 cents a day, which was almost 15 yuan a month. Apart from his military uniform, he has to buy all of his own clothes. 

Wei Jianwei usually trains and his clothes quickly wear out, this is an addition to expenses. In addition, he buys daily necessities every month, writes letters to the family, or helps out in which comrades have special difficulties and needs. Not much money would be left for the family then.

When he returns home, he would give the money to Wang Chunhua and part of it to He Xiaoyun. This time when he was out of home for three to four months, all the money he saved was here at the drawer.

There were more than a dozen Zhang Da Tuan(the money), and He Xiaoyun blushed and her heartbeat accelerated at the sight. (My heart would accelerate too if I was given one thousand pesos~)

He Xiaoyun put the money in the drawer again, leaving only some change by her side, she then took the key around the room, trying to find a place to hide it.

He Xiaoyun\'s not to blame for her poor petty citizen mentality. Before coming here to the city, she just spends a few cents back in the county. She has never seen so much money. How can she not pay attention?

Wei Yuanhang tilted his head and watch his mother walk around, then tilted his head to ask his father, "What is mom doing?"

"Do you know what squirrels are?" Wei Jianwei asked his son.

The child thought for a while, "Grandma said that squirrels are like mouses with very big tails?"

Wei Jianwei nodded and continued: "What squirrels do before winter is hiding a lot of food in their tree holes. Your mother is also doing the same."

Wei Yuanhang craned his neck to observe his mother. After a long time, he said in confusion, "But mom has no tail." 

He Xiaoyun heard their little talk and smiled angrily: "Don\'t listen to your dad\'s nonsense. It was him who has a tail."

"Your mom has it."

"No, it\'s your dad!"

"You do." - WJ

"It was you who has a bunch of tails!" -HX

The two adults entered a naive argument, but they kept Wei Yuanhang busy. He looked at his mother once and then tilted his head to look at his father. After watching for a long time, the child made an angry conclusion: All adults are liars, and both his parents lied to him.

After hiding the drawer keys, He Xiaoyun sat down in front of the table again and started doing accounting. Yesterday, she went to the street and got 40 cents for the bus ticket, 80 cents for the pork, 50 cents for the fish, two eggs... and even a few green onions for three cents.

Wei Yuanhang was already asleep, and Wei Jianwei was sitting beside her reading a book.

It\'s just that Wei Jianwei hasn\'t turned a page of the book in his hand for a long time. His eyes fell on He Xiaoyun. He watched her frowning and then puffing up her cheeks. Sometimes she couldn\'t remember something and poked her lips with a pen in distress. The pen was poking her pink and full lips.

It took a long time for He Xiaoyun to notice Wei Jianwei\'s sight. She thought of her dilemma this afternoon(thinking about Jianwei\'s kiss~) and feeling that she couldn\'t let him lead her by the nose (take the lead.), she held up her confidence, opened her eyes wide, and stared at the man, and asked rudely: "What are you looking at?"

"Looking at you." Wei Jianwei was very honest. (Ohohoho.)

He Xiaoyun proudly raised her chin, "There are too many people looking at me. You can take a closer look if you want."

Hearing her confident words, Wei Jianwei slightly raised his brows. He stretched out his palms to touch her cheeks, and asked, "How about this?"

His palm is large and warm and his temperature is obviously not very high, but He Xiaoyun felt like her skin is being burned. ((¬‿¬))

But still, He Xiaoyun had an expression of disdain, "What\'s about this?"

Wei Jianwei tilted his head and didn\'t speak. He just looked at her silently, his eyes seemed to say, then I should take a really closer look.

He Xiaoyun felt like a sitting duck and she stomped her feet cruelly. She leaned her upper body to the side and peck the man on his lips, and then stepped back, trying not to blush. She then pretended not to care at all and said: "Hmph, it\'s just a peck." 

After finishing speaking, He Xiaoyun didn\'t dare to look at Wei Jianwei. She buried her head in the account book, pretending to be serious. She could perceive that Wei Jianwei\'s eyes fell on her, but his stares left her after a long time.

After another long time has passed, He Xiaoyun finally dared to secretly glance at him, she saw that although the man was reading a book, he would rub his lips with a hand, and the corners of his mouth would curl up. Somehow, Xiaoyun felt like she was at a loss again.

Hey, dating is annoying... (T/N: You two are married...)
