The Zhou family's side stand is foldable. Usually, when there are few people in the family, it is opened halfway, and when there are more people, it is opened completely.

Perfect timing, as Zhou Mingyuan and his group of young men, including Sheng Xiping, could fit in a large enough space.

"Um, I went to queue up this morning to buy some meat, but not many vegetables. I don't know if it will suit your taste."

"Don't be shy at home, please help yourself to the food. I'll get more if you're still hungry."

Wang Chunxiu brought in several bottles of wine and said something rather apologetically.

"Oh, Auntie, this is enough. You've gone to so much trouble, cooking and preparing all afternoon for us."

"Auntie, why don't you sit down and eat too?" Sheng Xiping and the others quickly stood up, insisting that Wang Chunxiu sit down and eat with them.

"No, no, I'll just eat in the west room with Qinglan, Qingyue, and Fengying. It's the same food there."

Wang Chunxiu quickly waved her hand, handed the wine to Zhou Mingyuan, and then turned and left.

"Yes, your aunt doesn't drink, and Qingyue is too young to drink either. Come on, let your uncle have a drink with you."

"Since you're here with me, feel free to eat and drink as much as you like, as you'll feel at home."

Zhou Mingyuan opened the bottle and was about to pour drinks for the group of young people.

How could Sheng Xiping let his future father-in-law pour him wine?

He hurriedly took the bottle, got up and poured wine for Zhou Mingyuan first, then for the apprentices at the machine repair shop, and finally for his friends.

The wine was poured full, and Zhou Mingyuan raised his glass first.

"Well, I'm the oldest at this table, so I'll just ask for one."

Thank you so much, Xiao Sheng, for bringing firewood to our house along with Haining, Jianshe, and the others.

"Oh dear, this really solved a huge problem! Otherwise, I'd be really worried this winter. Come on, let me toast you!"
