"You're back."
Lu Zheng nodded and said to the man beside him, "This is my wife, Su Jianwei."
Su Jian smiled and nodded to the man next to Lu Zheng.
"Hello, sister-in-law." The man's voice was loud.
Lu Zheng continued to introduce, "This is my friend Bater. We came back to discuss something."
"Then stay and have dinner with us. Mom is already cooking."
Lu Zheng glanced at Bater and nodded.
Bartel smiled and said, "Thank you, sister-in-law."
When Lu Zheng and Bater left, Shan Dandan asked curiously, "That man's name is so strange, it seems to be..."
"Mongol, meaning 'hero'."
Su Jianwei and Shan Dandan looked at Xia Yu in surprise, "You knew?"
"I've seen it before when I was flipping through a book." Xia Yu said with a smile.
For a while, she particularly liked to read folk books about Inner Mongolia and the Northwest. Every time she saw the endless Gobi Desert and grassland, she could feel a little shadow of freedom.
As the three of them walked towards the kitchen, Shan Dandan said, "No wonder, he looks like a grassland man to me, tall, strong, and quite handsome."
Su Jian smiled and said, "Why, you nympho?"
"Just taking a look, I still like someone like Li..." Shan Dandan suddenly stopped talking, but Su Jianwei had already looked at her with a teasing look.
"What are you looking at? I said I still like you!"
Shan Dandan said, taking a few quick steps and calling out to Lin Yulan in the kitchen, "Godmother, let me help you!"
Su Jian smiled slightly and went forward to help.
Because Lu Zheng had guests today, Su Jianwei initially thought about whether to eat separately and set up a separate table for Lu Zheng and Bater in the front yard.
Lu Zheng asked Bater for his opinion. Bater smiled and said, "You finally get to go home and spend time with your family. It would be boring to eat alone with me. There's no need to go to such trouble. Just eat together."
No need to relay it, Su Jianwei is right next to me.
After saying that, Bartel took two boxes from the table beside him and said, "Sister-in-law, you didn't have time to come to the wedding, so this is your wedding gift and meeting gift."
Bater gave Su Jianwei a complete set of red agate jewelry of excellent quality, in addition to a wolf tooth necklace with unique ethnic style.
"Thanks."
Since Bartel suggested eating together, lunch was placed in the living room of the main courtyard. There happened to be a large round table inside, which was more than enough for them to sit down.
When Bater saw Rong Wanting and Lin Yulan, he greeted them respectfully. After seeing Bater, the twins moved to his side calmly and sat with him.
Zhou Jianxin's eyes fell on Bater's arm. It was so strong that he felt like it could kill him with one punch.
When Lin Yulan heard Su Jianwei say that Lu Zheng and Bater would also have lunch together, she specially asked Bater about his preferences and added a few more dishes.
The reason why Lin Yulan wanted to sit at separate tables at the beginning was that she was afraid that Bater didn't eat pork and that this would violate his taboo.
Fortunately, Lu Zheng explained that Bater was not a Buddhist and had no taboos about pork.
Even so, there was only one dish of braised pork on the entire table, and it was placed next to Xia Yu and Shan Dandan, who were farther away from Bater.
In addition, Lin Yulan made cold spinach vermicelli, hot and sour lemon chicken feet, osmanthus glutinous rice lotus root, stir-fried shrimp with lettuce, mapo tofu, steamed eggplant boxes with rice flour, pot-roasted duck, sweet and sour carp, big plate chicken, tomato stewed beef brisket, stir-fried sea cucumber with green onions, and loofah and egg soup.
The aroma of the dishes on the table was so strong that it dazzled everyone.
Batar was very happy with the meal and even took the initiative to ask Lin Yulan how to make hot and sour lemon chicken feet. He thought that this sauce would taste good no matter what he dipped it in.
"Thanks to Auntie's blessing at noon today, how about this? Everyone's here tonight, and I'll roast some lamb for everyone."
"I brought two sheep from my hometown. I can kill them both tonight. I'll roast one whole, and use the other for grilled lamb skewers and lamb soup. Come and have a taste of my cooking skills."
Rong Wanting wanted to refuse, but looking at her daughter's bright eyes, she smiled and nodded.
Lu Zheng also said, "The lamb from Bater's hometown is the best lamb I've ever eaten. It doesn't have any mutton smell at all. If you like it, I'll get a few for grandma and mom. It's also good for us to eat at home."
"Okay, thank you for your help, son-in-law. As for the money..."
Before Lin Yulan finished speaking, Lu Zheng said, "I'll do it."
"I……"
Rong Wanting covered Lin Yulan's hand, looked at Lu Zheng with a smile and said, "Okay, let your grandfather and the others have a taste of it then."
"good."
After lunch, Bater asked everyone about their preferences, and then went to the front yard with Lu Zheng.
The younger generations cleared the table, and Rong Wanting took Lin Yulan's hand and went to the side room.
"mom."
Rong Wanting looked at Lin Yulan and sighed, "He is your son-in-law. It is only natural for your son-in-law to spend some money on you. Why are you being so polite to him?"
Lin Yulan stroked her hair awkwardly and said, "I just... don't want him to think that we mother and daughter are taking advantage of him. I don't want him to look down on Weiwei."
Rong Wanting looked at Lin Yulan and sighed. Some concepts and ideas were formed over decades and could not be changed overnight, but fortunately, she was by her side now.
Rong Wanting looked at her daughter and explained to her seriously, "It's just a few sheep. Even if Lu Zheng gave you, his mother-in-law, a few houses, it's his filial piety."
"Sister Yu, remember, you are the daughter of Zhou Shoujun, the daughter of me, Rong Wanting, and the eldest daughter of the Rong family. It is a blessing for others to have the opportunity to give you something."
Lin Yulan looked at Rong Wanting in confusion. She felt that this sentence did not fit in with her outlook on life.
