Soon, everyone in the military neighborhood knew that Old Master Ye's eldest granddaughter was the top-scorer. Several former commanders, including Lu Beixiao's grandparents, came over to congratulate them.
Furthermore, Grandpa said he would have a drink with them tonight, so Ye Qiao cooked dinner.
After Auntie Hao's dismissal, her replacement's cooking skill was not very good, so Ye Qiao often cooked by herself.
Her cooking skills were quite good even in her previous life.
She had a few specialty dishes, especially her red braised pork belly!
In the dining hall, there was a traditional square table. They added a round rotating top table and turned on the air-con. Old Master Ye took out his collection of wines. Including him, there were five old people. Grandma Lu was there too. They were all old comrades in arms.
After greeting them, Ye Qiao went to the kitchen to cook some vegetarian dishes.
"My, my... When did Qiao Qiao learn how to cook? Look at this pork belly! The color is beautiful!" Grandma Lu exclaimed.
"She learned this in the village!" Old Master Ye was very proud. "Don't just look. Hurry up and taste it! You gotta eat it hot!"
The pork belly melted in their mouth. It was addictive!
Later, the former commanders could not stop complimenting Ye Qiao.
"Hey, Ye, is your granddaughter seeing anyone? She's around the same age as my eldest grandson." Dafei's grandfather smiled after speaking.
Hearing his words, Grandpa Lu felt his facial muscles twitch. Was this old man trying to steal his granddaughter-in-law?
Beichi just arrived at the dining table after playing basketball that day. He sat down and started eating as though he was in his own home.
Then, Grandma Lu said, "Dafei is older than Qiao Qiao by one year or two, right? If we want to talk about age, Beichi is the same age as Qiao Qiao, and they're classmates! They go to school together everyday. I think Qiao Qiao is more compatible with Beichi!"
This stupid grandma!
"Pft..." Lu Beichi almost choked on his rice.
Was grandma trying to get him killed?
Ye Qiao was Lu Beixiao's wife, okay?!
Seeing her grandson's reaction, Grandma Lu got rather upset.
"You rascal! What's wrong? Do you think you're too good for Qiao Qiao? Qiao Qiao is too good for you!" Grandma Lu said in disbelief.
"No! No! That's not what I meant. Ye Qiao is too good for me! She is..." Ye Qiao entered the room just then, and Lu Beichi decided to shut up. He almost spilled the tea just a second ago. However, it would be better for them to announce it for themselves.
On the other hand, Ye Qiao did not need to guess what they were talking about. She chuckled quietly.
"Hey, Ye, my grandson is single too! Why don't we let Qiao Qiao meet all of them one by one! We need to respect Qiao Qiao's decision too!" Chen Tao's grandpa joined the fight.
Hah…
Grandpa Lu snickered in his mind. 'My granddaughter-in-law would not even look at your childish grandsons!'
"That's right! I gotta respect my granddaughter's decision. It is a free world now, not like how it used to be!" Old Master Ye laughed after he remarked.
Ye Qiao served a plate of stir-fried shredded potato. She smiled sweetly, revealing her cute dimples, and said, "To be honest, I already have someone who I like!"
Then, she quickly left the room. She was still a little shy in front of them.
Old Master Ye was taken aback. Who did Ye Qiao like? She had never mentioned any male in her life before!
