Chapter 325 Jian Family Reunion Dinner
“Of course!” An Songyu nodded matter-of-factly.
"Thank you! Happy holiday! We will definitely enjoy it!" Wang Henian said, taking two steps back to make room for the car before waving to the two of them.
An Songyu and the other person waved goodbye before getting into the car and leaving.
When An Songyu and the Jian family arrived, not only were all the other members of the Jian family there, but lunch was also almost ready.
An Songyu was extremely embarrassed.
Sister Jane said, "Ah Yu, we're the ones who should be embarrassed!"
"If we had asked Ayu more, we wouldn't have scheduled the family reunion dinner for noon today."
"Yes, yes!" Jane's mother next to her nodded in agreement. "I heard from Ayu that not only did you not get to eat the Dragon Boat Festival meal, but your parents only gave you a perfunctory greeting?"
An Songyu looked at Jian Ziyu beside her.
The two of them had clearly never been apart the whole way, so how long had it been before he told his family about these things?
But now was not the right time to ask questions, so An Songyu quickly smiled and said to the Jian family:
"That's alright. Our family won't fight over the custody of the dragon head, dragon tail, boat drum, or wooden oar. Whether we go or not doesn't make a big difference!"
Jane's mother listened to An Songyu's sensible words.
He couldn't help but sit down next to her, take her hand, and pat it gently.
"I'm sorry, Yu, I only learned about the significance of the Dragon Boat Festival meal after the Dragon Boat Festival today."
As she spoke, she couldn't help but give her son a reproachful look.
Chien Tzu-yu wasn't even given a chance to sit down after entering the room.
Now, being glared at like that by her own mother, she felt even more helpless.
If he had known, he wouldn't have gone out of his way to ask An Songxiang about the dragon boat race in Jiangcun.
I specifically contacted them, but it turned out to be his fault.
"Then... Ah Yu, next year on this day, would it be convenient for us to come along and watch the dragon boat races?" Sister Jian asked with a smile, holding An Songyu's hand.
“Of course!” An Songyu nodded affirmatively.
She knew that the Jian family didn't want her to miss the dragon boat race in Jiangcun next year.
Originally, their family had set their Dragon Boat Festival reunion dinner for noon, taking into account that Brother Jian and Sister Jian each had their own homes.
In the evening, they also had to go to Sister-in-law Jian's parents' home to reunite with Sister Jian's husband's family.
Today's race is not only the first dragon boat race since the people of Jiangcun moved out of the village.
This also gave An Songlin the opportunity to ride the dragon boat.
So Chien Tzu-yu didn't stay at home; she waited for her older brother and sister to come back together.
However, due to a lack of understanding of dragon boat racing, not many people are able to participate.
This not only made Jian Ziyu feel quite regretful, but also made the rest of the Jian family feel that the An family was not respected enough.
At the dinner table, An Songyu clearly felt the Jian family's apology and warmth.
The good food in her bowl never decreased from beginning to end.
She didn't even have a chance to pick up food with her own chopsticks.
Just then, Aunt Jian, who was standing next to her, brought over another bowl of turtle soup.
An Songyu quickly turned her pleading gaze to Jian Ziyu.
Knowing his girlfriend's appetite, Chien Tzu-yu took the turtle soup first before smiling and saying:
"Auntie, you should eat too!"
“Ayu has eaten enough, you really don’t need to take care of her anymore.”
It's not that he didn't refuse just now.
But Jian Ziyu knew that even if he had refused, it wouldn't have made any difference.
After he finished speaking, he placed the turtle soup next to An Songyu.
He took his own bowl and shared some of the food from An Songyu's bowl.
Seeing this, the rest of the Jian family indeed stopped enthusiastically serving An Songyu food.
An Songyu breathed a slight sigh of relief.
She simply put the rice bowl aside and brought over the turtle soup that Aunt Jian had just served her.
In the soup, the turtle meat, clearly selected, was clearly visible.
An Songyu picked up a piece of turtle meat, which was still attached to the edge of the shell.
This part doesn't have much meat, but it's soft and tender, and tastes especially delicious.
Thinking that all the meat in the small bowl was about the same, An Songyu couldn't help but look at Aunt Jian.
Just then, Aunt Jian was looking at her with a big smile on her face.
An Songyu quickly picked up the meat from her bowl and began to eat it earnestly.
After lunch, the whole family sat together.
Sister Jian specially brought out a plate of freshly washed Sanhua plums: "Ayu, have some of these!"
As she spoke, she even picked out a perfectly ripe one and handed it over.
An Songyu looked at Jian Ziyu with some difficulty.
Chien Tzu-yu, who was standing next to her, indeed smiled and accepted it.
But he said with a hint of helplessness, "Sister, please don't give us anything anymore. Half of the good food from lunch today ended up in our stomachs."
"Right now! I'm so full I feel like my stomach is about to burst."
"How could that be?" Sister Jane didn't quite believe it.
She ate a lot at noon today.
They would learn their aunt's cooking skills every year during holidays and festivals.
But I never learned even a single thing.
So every time they come back, they can't help but eat until they're stuffed.
"Where is it impossible?" Jian Ziyu was speechless.
From the moment the meal started, An Songyu's bowl of food never seemed to shrink.
She also loves good food, and she always tries every dish first before choosing the ones she likes.
The extra love doesn't need to become his.
Thinking about it, Jian Ziyu couldn't help but look at the other people in the family.
His mother, aunt, and sister all did the same thing—serving him food.
Sister Jane touched her stomach, which was so full that she couldn't eat anything else.
He said, somewhat guiltily, "Isn't it because I saw that you and Ayu have been working hard lately?"
As she spoke, she looked at Aunt Jian, seeking her approval.
“That’s true, Ah Yu and Ah Yu have been too busy to come over lately!” Aunt Jian immediately nodded in agreement.
Now, An Songyu and the other person had nothing to say.
Fortunately, Sister Jian and her companion understood the importance of knowing when to stop.
Soon, their conversation turned to the fruits they had brought.
“Last night, my husband and I went back to the village with my parents-in-law.”
"These fruits were picked from the garden this morning and brought back with us."
"And the cantaloupes over there too."
"Ah Yu, brother, and aunt, remember to take some home with you when you go home." Sister Jian pointed to a spot not far from the door.
There was a small pile of things there.
"Sister, brother-in-law, why did you bring back so much stuff again?" Jian Ziyu walked over, casually opened a few bags, and couldn't help but shake her head.
An Songyu, curious, followed along.
All I could see were sacks filled to the brim with fruits and vegetables.
The couple brought all this stuff themselves.
Just thinking about it, An Songyu couldn't help but admire the two of them immensely.
"They were all grown by the villagers!" Brother-in-law Jian scratched the back of his head sheepishly.
"You don't need that many!" Brother Jian went to take a look and exclaimed in amazement.
Since my sister and her husband got married.
Every time they come back, they bring large and small bags like this.
But they still have to change buses several times to get there!
It's not that the distance is too far, it's just that there's no direct transportation.
