We don't need to go out to buy fruit; we can just pick it directly from the field and wash it afterward.
They are truly freshly picked and eaten, incredibly fresh, and grown with spiritual spring water, so the taste is incomparable to any good fruit outside.
"Mom and I will do it. Preparing fruit is not a tiring job! Just follow our instructions and have fun!" Qiao Xinruo said, winking at Lu Siyuan and Lu Si'an, the two clever little devils.
Upon receiving their aunt's signal, Lu Siyuan and Lu Si'an immediately surrounded Meng Yingxin from both sides.
“Auntie, An’an will play with you. Let’s play with Milk and Flower together. Here, take this.” Lu Si’an stuffed the cat toy into Meng Yingxin’s hand.
"Meow—meow—"
Milk and Flower, those two little cats, are practically human! They immediately started chasing after the cat toy in Meng Yingxin's hand, jumping around and being incredibly lively.
“Auntie, Milk and Flower both want to play with you!” Lu Siyuan said.
“Yes, playing with the kitten is tiring too. Auntie, come with us!” Lu Si’an said, not allowing Meng Yingxin to leave at all.
Seeing how well the two little ones were doing, Qiao Xinruo finally felt relieved and went to get the fruit with her mother.
Su Yueya and Qiao Hanxue spent the whole afternoon in the kitchen preparing a large table of delicious food. Everyone's favorite dishes were on the table, ensuring that everyone could eat their favorite dishes.
"Wow, this is so lavish! This is the kind of feast you'd expect for Chinese New Year!" Qiao Xinruo exclaimed, looking towards the doorway.
Today, the whole family deliberately came out of the virtual space because Qiao Gaoyang felt that there was good food at home, which was an easy opportunity to get closer to Leng Yingying.
After all, Leng Yingying craves nothing but delicious food!
He then suggested inviting Leng Yingying to celebrate with his sister-in-law, Meng Yingxin.
Meng Yingxin certainly wouldn't refuse.
"Why hasn't Second Brother brought the person back yet?" Qiao Xinruo couldn't help but swallow her saliva as she looked at the table full of delicious food.
Lu Siyuan and Lu Si'an were even more disappointing, clutching their bellies and staring longingly at the table full of delicious food, unable to look away from their mother while she was talking to her.
"Mom, can I sneak a bite of a rib?" Lu Si'an asked, swallowing as she spoke, with drool dripping from the corner of her mouth, which made everyone laugh.
"Auntie, you can have a piece of pork rib first." With that, Meng Yingxin specially placed a piece of pork rib on the little one's plate for her to hold and gnaw on. "Did An'an wash her hands?"
Lu Si'an's eyes were glued to the ribs, and she kept nodding.
"I washed my hands, I washed them! My brother helped me wash my hands!"
Lu Siyuan wasn't forgotten either; his sister got a piece of pork rib, while he got a chicken foot, which he was happily munching on.
"Kids are so much better!" Qiao Xinruo exclaimed. She wanted to eat first, but she couldn't bring herself to do it as an adult. She stared longingly at the door.
Finally, amidst everyone's anticipation, Qiao Gaoyang appeared with Leng Yingying.
“Shadow, come quick! We’ve been waiting for you for ages!” Qiao Xinruo called out.
Leng Yingying originally wanted to exchange a few polite words, but as soon as she entered the room, she was first overwhelmed by the aroma, and then she saw a table full of delicious food. Her mind went blank, and she couldn't be bothered with polite words anymore. She was just swallowing her saliva.
"Wow—this is so lavish!" Leng Yingying's eyes never left the dining table.
Fortunately, everyone already knows Leng Yingying's personality and knows that she behaves this way when she encounters delicious food, so it's not surprising.
"By the way, Yingxin, congratulations on your first-class merit!" Leng Yingying raised her glass and offered her blessings.
"Thank you, but please don't keep mentioning it. They've been bringing it up all day, and it's making me a little embarrassed," Meng Yingxin said modestly. After all, this first-class merit was a complete surprise, and she hadn't expected it. Now that she was being praised so much, she couldn't help but feel embarrassed, especially since she's easily embarrassed.
“What’s there to be embarrassed about?” Leng Yingying’s personality was completely different from theirs. Upon hearing this, she strongly disagreed. “If I had received a first-class merit, well, I wouldn’t need anyone to mention it!”
“Right? It’s embarrassing to keep bringing it up…” Meng Yingxin thought she had found a kindred spirit, but Leng Yingying’s next sentence—
"Why should anyone else mention it? I'll just buy a big loudspeaker, record it, and play it every day so everyone knows I received a first-class merit award. I guarantee the publicity will be effective!" Leng Yingying said, quite proud of her idea.
"Oh, right, I was in a rush today and didn't prepare a gift for you. How about I give you a megaphone? You can record it and then use it for advertising—"
Leng Yingying felt that she was simply a genius.
"No need!" Meng Yingxin quickly interrupted her, anxiously grasping her arm, her tone very firm, "Really, no need. I'm already very happy that you came to dinner. There's really no need to bring any gifts, no need, no need."
Record something through a big loudspeaker and play it every day?
Wouldn't this kill Meng Yingxin?
Let alone a first-class merit, she wouldn't dare to do it like that, not even a special-class merit. She really couldn't bear the shame.
"Why are you being so polite?" Leng Yingying still wouldn't give up on her brilliant idea.
[It seems my sister-in-law is still too shy. Oh well, how about I buy a megaphone myself and promote it for her in the army?]
His thoughts, once uttered, stunned everyone at the table.
Meng Yingxin, in particular, was so frightened that her vision went black. She anxiously looked at Qiao Shouyan for help.
If that's the case, she won't dare go to the military base for a while.
“Well, we still need to keep a low profile. After all, Yingxin hasn’t been in the weapons research group for long. Many of the older members haven’t received a first-class merit yet, but she has. If we publicize it so much, what if she has some thoughts about it?” Qiao Shouyan said tactfully.
"Hmm, your considerations make sense." Leng Yingying wanted to say something more.
Qiao Gaoyang saw his older brother winking at him and, receiving the signal, immediately began frantically piling food onto Leng Yingying's plate, the vegetables and meat forming a small mountain in the bowl.
"Shadow, eat more, eat it while it's hot!" Qiao Gaoyang urged, thinking to himself, "Don't even think about that loudspeaker of yours anymore!"
"Why are you piling so much food into my bowl?" Leng Yingying looked at the mountain of food in her bowl, a stark contrast to the piles in everyone else's bowls, especially since she was a guest at someone else's home. "Well, then I won't be polite!"
[You jerk, hurry up and eat! Show off your food!]
[Did Joe's dad make these ribs? Ahhhhh, yes, yes, that's the taste!]
[Pickled cabbage fish! My goodness, this tangy and flavorful sauce is amazing! It must be made by Crescent Moon. I'm eating it all!]
[This is so delicious... But have I eaten too much? Why are they all staring at me? Oh dear, is this a little inappropriate?]
