She Lives without Regret in This Life

Chapter 732: Chapter 763: The Captain Will Beat Me Up

Oh right, before I go back, I’ll sneak some good cigarettes and alcohol to bring.

“Dad, don’t hold out hope for my brother anymore, our family will have to rely on me from now on.” Chen Huaying had been to National Security University and felt like she walked taller, no longer the yellow-haired girl forced to go to the General Union Dance Troupe.

She was now Mr. Chen, ask around at National Security University and see if they don’t know her esteemed name.

“Our Yingzi is really impressive,” the mother said, naturally pleased with her daughter no matter how she looked at her.

“You talk as if you invited them over yourself,” Mr. Chen said as he got up to wash his hands and took the prepared gifts to the doorway, ready to visit a few old friends.

“Sheng Ning promised me, she’s going to Grandpa Su’s house for New Year’s greetings today and called me over for lunch,” Chen Huaying reminisced about Sheng Ning’s cooking and her mouth watered.

Old Master Chen was overjoyed when he heard this, “Is Ningning personally cooking?”

“Exactly! She said she would make lots and lots of delicious dishes.”

The grandfather and granddaughter agreed immediately, “Then what are we waiting for? Let’s go ourselves! It’s likely we have already arrived by this time.”

“Dad, isn’t that inappropriate?”

“Right! Did Uncle Su invite you?”

Mr. and Mrs. Chen expressed their opposition, feeling that such behavior wasn’t polite.

“I’ll bring my own alcohol.”

“You can’t drink, and you shouldn’t let Uncle Su drink either.”

The family was debating this when Chen Yingjie, with the highest alertness, heard footsteps and immediately knew who had come. He jumped up like a rabbit and ran into the yard.

“Captain, hello!” Chen Yingjie called out to Xu Qigang loudly and then turned to greet Sheng Ning, “Sister-in-law, happy New Year!”

“Captain Chen, hello!” Sheng Ning imitated Chen Yingjie’s manner, greeting him respectfully. According to their ranks, Chen Yingjie was her superior, and she felt a bit embarrassed always taking advantage of people.

Chen Yingjie was embarrassed, “Sister-in-law, please don’t do that, the Captain will beat me.”

“That’s how it was during our training camps.”

“Let’s not talk about that. I didn’t even know you would marry our Captain! If I had known, I wouldn’t have dared, even if you lent me the guts.”

Xu Qigang kicked Chen Yingjie lightly, “Look at you being so proud.”

The three of them hadn’t even had time to go in before the entire Chen family came out. Xu Qigang, in front of the old leadership, didn’t dare to neglect and respectfully greeted Old Master Chen, Mr. Chen and Mrs. Chen.

Sheng Ning followed suit, the couple’s actions in sync. Both parties greeted each other, and not until a full round of greetings were exchanged was the ritual considered complete.

“Don’t be so polite, everyone! Hurry up, Yingzi, get ready to go eat,” Old Master Chen said very actively, directing Chen Huaying to take his treasured good wine, and the three generations left. Mr. and Mrs. Chen were left looking at each other.

“Uncle, Auntie, please come with us!”

“No, that’s okay, we won’t go,” Mr. Chen hurriedly declined, “You should hurry over! We’ve returned for a rare visit and still have to pay New Year’s visits to old friends.”

“Alright! Then we’ll be heading back first.”

Chen Huaying urged them on, and Sheng Ning said her goodbyes in a hurry to keep up. When they got back to the Su Family, Grandpa Su, Su Huai’an, Su Hai, and Meng Ping were already sitting at the dining table, waiting.

Four grown men sat in a row at the table. Eyeing the tasty dishes, aside from Meng Ping who was distracted, the other three were bright-eyed and eagerly anticipating the meal.

The table was laden with an abundant array of dishes, fried, steamed, boiled, all full of color and fragrance, many of which had names that could not even be called to mind. Sheng Ning had also made Squirrel Guaiyu and Jade Soup, which both looked as delightful as they tasted.
