After Transmigrating, The Fat Wife Made A Comeback! Chapter 1708 Eight Bowls of Rice

Chapter 1708 Eight Bowls of Rice

Since it was a rare visit from Zhao Wu today, Qiao Mei took out all the meat from the fridge and prepared a grand feast for him! She would give him an eye-opener today!

Zhao Wu took out two boxes from his pocket and carefully opened them before putting them in front of Xia Fan and Xia Xing. The two children had already seen countless gold necklaces and locks and were already used to these things.

"Do you like Uncle? Look at these gold locks that Uncle bought for you. Do you like them? No, you should address me as G.o.dfather. I want to be the children's G.o.dfather!" Zhao Wu said as he looked at Xia Zhe excitedly.

Xia Zhe said helplessly, "I don't have the power to make this decision. You have to ask my wife."

Zhao Wu wanted to ask Qiao Mei about becoming the children's G.o.dfather, but after thinking for a long while, he gave up the thought. He should do it step by step and let the two children have a good impression of him first. Once that happened, Qiao Mei would have no choice but to agree!

Qiao Mei made a total of 12 dishes, all of them meat dishes. After she placed all the dishes on the table, Zhao Wu did not dare to believe his own eyes. He had never seen such a feast even in the army canteen.

"So am I being treated like an esteemed guest?" Zhao Wu asked smugly.

"Of course. How can I let you spend money on the gold locks for nothing? I must definitely take good care of you," Qiao Mei said.

"Then it's indeed worth the money. The next time I come, I'll give you a gold Buddha statue. Does that mean I'll get 24 dishes?" Zhao Wu asked with a laugh.

Qiao Mei raised her eyebrows and looked at Zhao Wu as she said, "If you really give me a solid gold Buddha statue, there's no issue with serving you 88 dishes."

"Hahaha, it's a deal!" Zhao Wu said excitedly.

The price of gold was still very low at the moment, but it was not something that ordinary families could afford. Zhao Wu's living expenses were all taken care of in the army. In addition, he had also earned a lot of money after so many years, including the bonuses from completing missions and getting merit medals. If he wanted to give Xia Zhe a gold Buddha statue, it was just a matter of being willing to part with that amount of money.

Zhao Wu picked up his chopsticks and wolfed down the food as if he had never eaten before in his life. He ate four bowls of rice in one go and even wanted more.

"Eat slowly. No one's s.n.a.t.c.hing it from you. You've already eaten four bowls. If you eat any more, you'll get too stuffed!" Qiao Mei said worriedly.

If Zhao Wu really ate too much, he would have to be sent to the hospital for induced vomiting and that would be very harmful to his health.

"Just let him be. He's a famous big eater in the troops and can eat up to eight bowls of rice! Furthermore, the bowls in the army are much bigger than the ones we use," Xia Zhe explained.

"Eight bowls?" Qiao Mei looked at Zhao Wu in disbelief. Zhao Wu did not look that muscular and he was not even as burly as Chi Ze. She did not expect him to be able to eat so much.

While Qiao Mei and Xia Zhe were talking, Zhao Wu took the opportunity to sneak outside to scoop more rice. He behaved like he was at his own house.

It was rare to have one of Xia Zhe's buddies come over. Moreover, Zhao Wu was a person with a good character and Qiao Mei liked to interact with him. If it was anyone else, Qiao Mei might not even want to host them!

After dinner, Zhao Wu took on the important responsibility of washing the dishes. He looked at Qiao Mei with a satisfied look and said, "Sister-in-law, don't stand on ceremony with me! I'll just take it like I'm in my own house. I must do some housework if I'm in my own house. You've put in so much effort to make such delicious food, so it's only right for me to wash the dishes!"

Xia Zhe pulled Qiao Mei over to the brick bed and told her to ignore Zhao Wu. There were other things he wanted to tell Qiao Mei!

"When I went back to the army camp today, I did a quick check. The superiors had given me 15 days off to recuperate from my injuries," Xia Zhe said.

"15 days! That's a lot! Then let's go back to the capital to stay for a while!" Qiao Mei said excitedly. She could also take this opportunity to get away from Miao Le so that there was no chance for Miao Le to bother her.

"It's just that Zhao Wu will tag along if we do that. He's also going on leave and is going back to the capital to visit his parents. However, I haven't told him that we may go back. I want to ask for your opinion first," Xia Zhe whispered.

"Of course it is fine. You can make the decision on such matters," Qiao Mei said gently.

"That won't do! I must still come back and discuss it with you. I can't just make decisions by myself," Xia Zhe said as he looked at Qiao Mei seriously.

Qiao Mei pouted unhappily and asked, "If you do this, doesn't it make me look very domineering? I don't ask you before I make any decisions at home."
