Mu Shaohua saw Lu Qingzhou pick up the roasted meat and examine it carefully, looking quite cautious.

I couldn't help but burst out laughing.

She glanced at Su Qingyao intentionally or unintentionally and teased, "Don't worry, I'm just kidding. This isn't one of those 'disastrous' dishes that Qingyao makes. You can eat it without worry."

The people around couldn't help but chuckle at Mu Shaohua's teasing.

Su Qingyao stood to the side, her eyes fixed on Mu Shaohua, her gaze as if she wished she could pierce Mu Shaohua's heart.

Looking at Su Qingyao's gloomy face, Lu Qingzhou wished he could give Mu Shaohua's plump, upturned buttocks a good slapping.

Shaohua's wife really knows how to bring up the most sensitive topics.

Hearing her say that, what could I say, and what would I dare to say?

He could only cast a helpless glance at Mu Shaohua, signaling her to stop provoking the gas cylinder; if this continued, they wouldn't be able to have a barbecue today.

Mu Shaohua smiled slightly, a playful glint in her eyes, and said half-jokingly, "Honey, it's time for some barbecue skewers."

Lu Qingzhou was speechless upon hearing this.

Okay, I definitely need to have a good "deep conversation" with her tonight, maybe ninety-nine times.

But looking at Mu Shaohua's bright and alluring smile, he felt a pang of reluctance.

Alright, I'll skip the whipping. I reached out and took the meat skewer she offered, tentatively taking a bite.

Looking at his cautious manner, Su Qingyao felt both dissatisfied and somewhat ashamed.

Who told her to make such a scare-inducing roasted chicken wing?

Lu Qingzhou chewed a few times gently, and his tense nerves slowly relaxed.

Hmm, although the taste isn't as good as the ones I grilled myself, it's still pretty good, at least much better than the chicken wings Su Qingyao grilled.

He savored it carefully, his mind racing.

I'm thinking about how to rate the barbecue that Shaohua's wife makes.

If Shaohua's wife said the baking was good, Qingyao's wife would definitely be angry.

If the grilling wasn't good enough, it would be a disservice to Shaohua's wife's good intentions. After all, the skewers did taste pretty good.

A moment later,

Lu Qingzhou placed the bamboo skewers on the table, looking at Mu Shaohua with a serious expression and a gentle look in his eyes: "Sister Shaohua's grilled skewers taste pretty good, very unique. Overall, there's still a lot of room for improvement. Keep it up, not bad."

As he spoke, his eyes remained fixed on the expressions of Su Qingyao and Mu Shaohua.

After saying that, he gave Mu Shaohua a subtle look of praise.

Upon seeing that look, Mu Shaohua instantly understood and a slight smile appeared on her lips.

When Su Qingyao heard that Lu Qingzhou hadn't given Mu Shaohua a very high evaluation, her sense of imbalance eased a little.

......

soon,

The first batch of barbecue was freshly grilled, steaming hot, and the aroma filled the entire courtyard.

Lu Qingzhou carried the plate to the small wooden table next to him and said loudly, "Everyone can start eating now."

Upon hearing this, several women immediately gathered together.

"I'll take some over to Mom, you guys eat first."

Mu Shaohua grabbed a plate, picked up some skewers, and headed towards the guesthouse.

Leng Yue ate a few bites, then put down the bamboo skewers, her brows furrowing slightly.

A thoughtful expression appeared on his face, and then he said, "It feels like something's missing?"

Su Qingyao, chewing on her skewer, glanced at her and asked, "Is something missing?"

With a serious expression, Leng Yue said earnestly, "Of course, it needs some alcohol. Barbecue without beer is soulless."

Su Qingyao was speechless... She rolled her eyes at her and then ignored her.

Upon hearing this, Lin Yinuo's eyes lit up, and she thought to herself: Drinking is good, it can also give you courage.

He quickly nodded in agreement, saying, "That's a good idea. Come on, Leng Yue, let's go get some beer." With that, the two of them hurried out of the courtyard.

Mu Shaohua came out of the house and looked at Lin Yinuo and Leng Yue walking towards the courtyard. She asked Su Qingyao, "What are they doing?"

Su Qingyao put down the bamboo skewer in her hand, clapped her hands, and said, "I went to get some beer."

Mu Shaohua smiled faintly, "Beer and barbecue, not bad, not bad."

Upon hearing this, Su Qingyao leaned closer and whispered, "Can you drink alcohol?"

Mu Shaohua smiled slightly and said confidently, "As a woman, who doesn't drink a little?"

Su Qingyao whispered, "How much can you drink?"

Mu Shaohua looked puzzled and asked, "What do you want to do?"

Su Qingyao looked in the direction Lin Yinuo and the others left, a slight smile playing on her lips, a sly glint in her eyes, and said, "Later, get Lin Yinuo drunk and let her go back to rest. I feel uncomfortable seeing her always standing next to us men."

Mu Shaohua smiled faintly and said in a relaxed tone, "Okay, I can drink eight liang of baijiu, and beer depends on my mood."

Su Qingyao immediately smiled, her face full of smugness, and said, "Okay, we'll definitely drink her under the table and let her know that we're not to be trifled with."

Lu Qingzhou brought over some more skewers and saw the two of them whispering to each other.

With a curious look, he asked, "What are you talking about? You're whispering to each other."

Mu Shaohua stood up and gracefully took the barbecue from Lu Qingzhou's hand.

She smiled charmingly and said softly, "Let's talk about some little secrets of women's lives."

Lu Qingzhou smiled, then looked around the courtyard and asked, "Where are Yinuo and Lengyue?"

Upon hearing Lu Qingzhou mention Yi Nuo, Su Qingyao felt a surge of discomfort; her jealousy instantly flared.
