Witty Wife, Better Life

Chapter 716 - 716 706

?Chapter 716: 706 Chapter 716: 706 After the visit from the higher-ups was over and the reception of the juniors was complete, it was time for those comrades of equal rank to mingle.

Li Hongjun thought it over and decided not to visit anyone individually. He had shown off a bit during his visit to the superiors a few days ago, and with his current situation, it was more suitable for him to keep a low profile. Therefore, he planned to have his wife stir-fry a few dishes and invite the regiment leaders over for a simple meal.

Of course, it wasn’t obligatory. He had extended the invitations, and those who were willing to give him face would come; if they had other commitments, there was nothing to be done.

So, on the evening of the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, Li Hongjun’s home was very lively.

Originally, Li Hongjun invited eight regiment leaders, but seven came; the other one really couldn’t make it because he had gone back to his hometown. This was something neither Li Hongjun nor Shen Yunfang had expected, especially since Li Hongjun’s roots in this military region were still shallow, and the people there tended to be rather exclusive. There was a competitive relationship among these comrades of the same rank, and a young soldier like Li Hongjun, who also had military achievements, posed a strong challenge to them. Therefore, Li Hongjun felt somewhat isolated in the military region. Now, when he offered the invitation, he thought it would be good if two or three close comrades came, but he didn’t expect almost all of them to show up.

Fortunately, Shen Yunfang had the habit of cooking in large quantities, otherwise there might not have been enough food for all these men.

“Aiyo, I’ve been craving Sister-in-law’s honeyed wolf meat for several days, and finally, I get to eat it again.” As the meal began, Regiment Leader Zhao didn’t stand on ceremony and reached out with his chopsticks, grabbing a big mouthful of wolf meat.

He was the closest to Li Hongjun among all the regiment leaders and had been over for a meal a few times before.
