Lu Guochang deliberately did not answer, but instead placed the cloth bag in his hand on the table, opened it to reveal two stainless steel plates.

The aroma of fresh river seafood immediately wafted out and reached the noses of the three Lu brothers.

"Uncle Guochang, what is this?" Is it for us to eat?

Lu Chunhe was too embarrassed to say it aloud, for fear of being presumptuous.

Lu Jingming didn't think too much about it and asked directly, "Uncle Guochang, is this food you brought for us?"

He walked over, quietly opened the lid, and saw a plate of prawns that were still slightly warm and had a rich aroma.

And these are cooked shrimp, probably weighing around three pounds.

It tastes especially delicious, especially when paired with the prepared sauce, which has the aroma of ginger and garlic with a hint of spiciness from the chili.

But he didn't dare pick up a single shrimp to eat.

"Eat up, Amin. Your mother asked me to bring this to you. The food in the cafeteria isn't very good, but we caught a lot of fish and shrimp this time, so I cooked some for you."

Lu Guochang picked up the plate of food, but hesitated to take a few portions to share with them because he was afraid his hands would get dirty.

"My mother?" Lu Chunhe remembered that he had eaten river delicacies at home a few days ago. Could this be...?

"Uncle Guochang, did my sister and fifth brother catch these fish and shrimp again by the river?"

This infuriated him.

The fifth brother is simple-minded, and the younger sister is young. The two of them, being so ignorant, ran to the riverbank. What if something happens to them?

"Yes, it's the two of them. Don't be angry. I'll give them a talking-to when I get back."

Lu Guochang could understand Lu Chunhe's thoughts. After all, with his father away from home, his mother, who stayed behind, had to do farm work and take care of several children, which was indeed very hard and dangerous.

"Thank you for your trouble, Uncle Guochang." Lu Jingxing bowed slightly to express his gratitude to Lu Guochang.

These past few years, we've been so grateful to Lu Guochang and Niu Ahong for their help; otherwise, our family would have collapsed long ago.

"Thank you, Uncle Guochang." Lu Chunhe and Lu Jingming also expressed their gratitude.

"Why are you being so polite with me? Your father has helped me a lot too. We've known each other for decades, like brothers."

Lu Guochang smiled, and two rosy clouds appeared on his dark face.

He truly treated Lu Sen as his own brother, perhaps because he was an only child and had no siblings.

He also liked Lu Sen's personality, so the two had a good relationship since childhood.

"Try one, Wanwan's homemade sauce is delicious."

"Okay!" After Lu Chunhe and Lu Jingming felt no more guilty, they quickly peeled a large shrimp, put it in their mouths, and ate it in one bite.

From peeling the shrimp to finishing it, the speed was only two or three seconds, which was astonishingly fast.

Lu Jingxing shook his head, feeling helpless at their somewhat rude behavior.

They have always been gluttonous. They were better off when their family was well-off, but they have fallen on hard times in recent years and even getting enough to eat is a luxury.

Not to mention having meat to eat every day.

"Delicious, delicious!" Lu Jingming couldn't help but praise, though he rarely uttered a word.

"Mmm, this is so delicious! Is this the sauce Wanwan made?" Lu Chunhe hadn't even finished the first bite when he was already eagerly peeling the second shrimp.

When Lu Jingxing tasted the first shrimp, he was instantly captivated by the flavor of the juicy sauce.

"Wanwan is such a clever child. In the ten minutes or so that your mother came to see me, Wanwan had already cooked the shrimp. Look, she also fried this plate of small fish. They look so beautiful and golden."

Lu Guochang picked up the plate of pan-fried small fish and showed it to the three Lu brothers, Lu Jingxing and Lu Guochang.

He rarely praises others, and those he does praise are usually very good people.
