Everyone noticed Gu Yunzhou's actions, but no one dared to say anything, for fear that if they said something wrong, Gu Yunzhou would stand up and leave.
If that's the case, this guy won't be able to rest in peace.
"Come, eat, eat."
Second Aunt Gu greeted everyone with a stiff smile, trying to liven up the atmosphere.
This kind of occasion and this kind of atmosphere were too scary. Even she, the daughter-in-law who was known for being good at dealing with people, couldn't handle it.
"Come here, Yunzhou, let Second Aunt make you a bowl of soup."
Second Aunt Gu glanced at the old man, then turned around and took Gu Yunzhou's bowl.
Soon, a bowl of chicken soup and a chicken wing were placed in front of Gu Yunzhou.
“Come, have some big wings, and wish our Gu family’s most outstanding nephew to spread his wings and fly high!”
Aunt Gu said something auspicious.
Gu Yunzhou looked up at Second Aunt Gu and nodded politely, "Thank you, Second Aunt."
Gu Yunzhou started talking, and the atmosphere seemed to lighten up.
Gu Hongbin smiled and said, "The second family's food is good at talking and cooking. We are blessed tonight."
Gu Hongbin was grateful to his brother-in-law for keeping the atmosphere lively tonight, and was willing to give him face.
Aunt Gu quickly took over the conversation, "Really? Then Hongwu, quickly serve Dad a bowl of soup to try and see if it suits his appetite. During the last physical examination, Director Qi told Dad to eat a lighter diet, so I deliberately put less salt in it."
Gu Hongwu noticed his wife's look and hurriedly helped Gu Qingyong prepare half a bowl of chicken soup.
Gu Qingyong also took a sip of the wine out of respect, "Well, it's good. The second son has always been a capable person. You've been busy all day. Thank you for your hard work."
Aunt Gu smiled from the bottom of her heart. "What's the hard work? Yanyan (the third son Gu Honglin's wife) has been busy all day too. By the way, that fish dish was steamed by Yanyan. Look how beautiful it is."
Lin Yan was stunned for a moment. She was a rather dull person. After hearing her sister-in-law praising her in front of everyone, she quickly waved her hands with a red face and said, "No, I didn't do well..." OK
Aunt Gu interrupted her immediately, "Yanyan, quickly pick up a piece of fish for Dad to try. I wish Dad will be able to do everything with ease and have a smooth career."
Although Lin Yan was dull, she knew that her second sister-in-law was trying to save her face.
She gritted her teeth and stood up, picked up the chopsticks and spoon, took a piece of the most tender and boneless fish meat from the fish's belly and placed it in front of Gu Qingyong.
According to the custom in Jeju, until the old man starts eating fish, no one else can touch it. Also, the head and tail cannot be touched and must be left behind.
"dad...."
Fourteen-year-old Gu Yunfen looked at Yang Qi's flushed face and said quickly, "Grandpa, the fish has jumped over the dragon gate and may you have both good fortune and longevity."
Lin Yan breathed a sigh of relief, "Yes, yes, the fish leaps over the dragon gate and enjoys both happiness and longevity."
Gu Qingyong nodded, and gave a rare good look, "The third brother's family is also good, Yunfen taught very well."
It was the first time that Lin Yan was praised by the old man. She was so happy that she was at a loss for words. "Thank you, Dad."
Even the third brother, Gu Honglin, straightened his back and felt proud.
Wang Luo was holding his breath and could hardly maintain his fake smile.
She has been busy all day. Li Qiuping and Lin Yan are both nice, but she hasn't said a word. This is a roundabout way of saying that she is not good.
She was holding her anger in her heart, but she didn't dare show it at all. She could only laugh along and didn't dare say anything.
The old man has been annoyed recently because his second son, the rebellious son, dislikes him and thinks everything he does and says is wrong.
