The three members of the Lu family, whose faces remained expressionless for ages, cracked slightly and glared at the instigator.
Look how badly you've taught your child!
Because of this childlike remark, the three of them showed rare expressions of appreciation.
I've never seen anyone talk about eating and drinking for free so casually. He's an interesting kid.
Lu Fan felt wronged; his explanation was quite good.
Grandma Xiao smiled and saved the day, saying, "Shishi, vanity is not a good thing, we shouldn't learn it."
“You’re different from them, you’re a good kid. Your grandparents, parents, and brothers are all capable and willing to spend money on you.”
"Your biggest task is to make sure you eat and drink well. Shishi is so capable, can she complete the task?"
Grandma Xiao was very good at manipulating the situation. If you asked her if she understood, she would probably need to explain it to her first, and then she would be asked to complete the task and reply instantly.
"Sure, Shishi just wants to eat and drink well and not work." She assured him very honestly.
Even the greatest king has to go to work, but she doesn't; she is the truly powerful king.
Chou Chou said she'd make a golden chair for her based on the photos once they were developed, but Chou Dan said it could only be placed in her space. It didn't matter; she'd just be the queen, the eldest and second eldest.
There are also rotten eggs that can be chopped up.
Xie Lin, unaware that he was destined to be a prisoner, looked at her with doting affection.
Don't worry, I'll work hard to earn money for you to spend, so you can be a king who doesn't have to work.
Originally, she was just seen as a junior member of the Zhou family, but these sincere words made her like her more.
It has a very innocent, childlike nature that makes people feel relaxed and happy.
“Yes, our Shishi only needs to eat, drink, and have fun. The adults will take care of everything else,” said Ling Qian, Lu Fan’s mother, with a smile.
She was envious that her son's best friend had married such a cute girl.
I wonder if there are any kind-hearted girls on the island. I should call Atong and ask her to help me find some.
I'm a 25-year-old man. If I don't find a girlfriend soon, all the good girls will be snatched up by someone else.
Aunt Ling Xin was very grateful for the information Shi Shi had shared, and she gave her a roasted duck leg.
"Shishi, come and try the Peking duck from Beijing. If you like it, your aunt will buy you a few more when we go back."
A mother knows her son perfectly well. Even if her son has no plans to get married, she will still choose a girl he gets along with.
The Lu family doesn't need daughters-in-law or granddaughters-in-law to maintain their prestige, so they don't care about social status when it comes to marriage; compatibility is the most important thing.
She and Ling Qian are cousins. The Ling family is not of high social standing, so marrying into the Lu family was a step up for them. However, the family is very harmonious and the couple is very loving, which is truly rare.
They themselves are examples, so they don't care about the woman's family background. As long as the family is respectable and has integrity, whether they are poor or ordinary people, it is not an obstacle at all.
Shishi had been longing for the fragrant roast duck, but Choudan said that this was Xiaofanzi's home, not her own, and that she could only eat it after the host asked for it.
This is proper etiquette for guests.
She finally got what she'd been waiting for.
She's willing to eat it all and even take some home.
"I like it, I like it very much. Shishi wants six of them. Thank you, Auntie."
She didn't know what politeness meant; she only knew that if the other person offered to send something, she would order it.
"One for the eldest, one for the second eldest, and Shishi, Choudan, and Chouchou will share one."
"Uncle He is going to send Shishi some small phoenix cakes, and Auntie is going to send some cured meat. We'll save one for them to eat."
"I also want to bring one back for my parents."
"And I want my underlings to have one too."
She counted on her fingers and realized that six wasn't enough.
"Second Grandpa can eat here, but Second Grandma, my parents, Ninth Brother and Ninth Sister-in-law, and Tenth Brother don't get any, and neither does my maternal grandparents."
"Second Aunt, can we still buy it? Shishi has money."
The six dishes were already ordered; they were a gift from my second aunt. Adding more dishes would cost extra, but she knows that.
Xie Lin couldn't help but smile. His aunt had gone to the island, so why was he still thinking about her cured meat?
That brat, she always remembers things related to food.
She was also very good at calculating; the small phoenix cakes that Uncle He brought to Shanghai didn't count because they weren't sent by mail.
Does she know what mailing is all about?
Her gluttonous little face was so serious, it was both funny and exasperating.
Grandma Xiao looked very pleased.
As expected, the little girl is very thoughtful; she even thinks of her elders.
But cooked food can't be shipped either.
She intended to explain the mailing issue to the children and ask who the eldest and second eldest were, but Ling Xin burst out laughing first, waving her hand generously.
"Buy them all for Shishi. Your second aunt will buy you ten, and you can divide them among yourself, okay?"
Cooked meat is better than raw meat as it can be stored longer; the only difference is that the skin won't be as crispy. The train journey from Beijing to the island takes four or five days, and you can even find a kitchen on the train to heat it up and eat it.
It's not easy to buy ten on the same day, so she has to think of a way. The little girl is happy, and she's happy too, so it's worth it.
"Okay, Shishi will divide it up, thank you, Auntie."
Hehe, no need to pay, everything can go into Shishi's bowl.
She laughed so hard her eyes narrowed, and her smug look of having gotten a good deal made everyone laugh.
Grandpa Lu burst out laughing.
I envy Lao Xiao; he also wants a granddaughter.
After one meal, she completely won over the Lu family.
The three ugly brothers were also won over by the novel taste; the skin was crispy, the meat tender, and the juices rich and flavorful—it was delicious!
Chou Chou felt that ten might not be enough, since her brother's space could keep them fresh, so she urged him to buy more, since they had tickets anyway.
After thanking the Lu family for their hospitality, the group returned home.
Zhang Dong stayed at the Lu family's house and did not go with them.
I stayed at the Xiao family's house yesterday, and I'm going to stay at the Song family's house today, alternating.
Song Yunchao's house was not far from the Xiao family's. The three old men had not yet returned from their outing, so they went to the Xiao family's house first.
