It's dinner time at the Liu family's house. There are a lot of people today: Grandma Lu, Liu Liangjie, Liu Zhaosheng, Liu Jingze, Su Tiantian, Ren Zhengyu, Yun Suiyang, and Lan Quancong.
Yes, Ren Zhengyu, who ran away from home, has not returned yet. He probably wants someone from the Ren family to pick him up before he is willing to go back. He is no longer staying in a hotel, but in the Liu family, in the guest room on the third floor of the Liu family villa. He has lived there before and is not at all uncomfortable.
The dishes are very rich:
Steamed Scallops with Garlic Vermicelli
Stir-fried Beef with Kale
Yong Toufu
Steamed Osmanthus Fish
Steamed Chicken with Mushrooms
Fish-stuffed peppers
Sweet and Sour Spare Ribs
Garlic Lettuce
Steamed Egg with Shrimp
Stir-fried pork belly with chili peppers
The seven of them ate at the dining table, while Su Tiantian ate alone at the coffee table. The dishes in front of her were: a bowl of white porridge, a piece of stuffed tofu, two barbecued pork buns, a small plate of dried radish, two pieces of fermented bean curd, two salted duck eggs, a few pieces of sweet and sour spareribs, a small plate of lettuce, and a plate of sliced oranges.
In fact, these dishes were not a small number for Su Tiantian to eat alone, but compared with the dishes on the dining table, it seemed like she was being abused as a young wife who was not allowed to eat at the table. Of course, it was actually Su Tiantian who asked to eat at the coffee table. She felt that seeing too many dishes made her lose her appetite.
What could he do about her request? He could only arrange it. So Su Tiantian ate alone, checking her phone while eating, but she wasn't lonely.
Grandma Lu said, "Isn't there any soup tonight?"
Ren Zhengyu said, "It's ready. It's a chicken soup with Adenophora and Polygonatum. It'll be ready in a moment. Sister Lan will bring it over."
Tonight's dishes were prepared by Ren Zhengyu and his nanny Sister Lan. Although Ren Zhengyu sometimes seems to have low emotional intelligence due to his psychological problems in the past, he is a good cook and is hardworking. There is a reason why his uncle Liu Liangjie and cousin Liu Jingze spoil him. He is really well-behaved and capable.
Liu Jingze said: "Thank you for your hard work, Ayu."
Ren Zhengyu said cheerfully, "It's not hard. My sister called me this afternoon and asked me how many days I would stay at my cousin's house. She also wanted to come over."
Liu Jingze said as he picked up some food for Grandma Lu: "Alin wanted to come here because she has business here and has received several orders. I guess she won't stay at home, but will stay in a hotel."
Grandma Lu said, "Just ask Linlin to come live here. It's not like we don't have room at home."
Liu Liangjie said, "Mom, don't worry about her, she can make her own arrangements."
Liu Zhaosheng said, "Aunt is tired of us grown men and wants Linlin to accompany you."
Granny Lu's expression was very loving: "How could I find you annoying? I wish you could move in and live here permanently, Azhao."
Liu Jingze said, "Construction has already begun on that house, and it's estimated to be completed in May or June next year. Could you please come here more often during this time, please?"
Liu Zhaosheng said, "The house isn't far from here, about a 20-minute drive. You make it seem like I've been somewhere far away."
Liu Liangjie said, "Brother Zhao, the contract for the house you're renting now is only for one year. Why don't you move in here first after the contract expires? You can move in after the new house is renovated and ventilated."
Liu Zhaosheng nodded: "Okay, anyway, with your help, moving won't be a problem."
The doorbell rang and Sister Lan hurried out to see who was coming.
Soon, Sister Lan came back and spoke a little loudly: "Mr. Liu, Mr. Liu, the two Mr. Su are here."
Two Mr. Su?
Liu Liangjie and Liu Jingze realized that it was Su Jinyuan and Su Zhihao. Su Tiantian was a little surprised because she had never heard that they were coming.
As soon as Sister Lan finished speaking, Su Jinyuan and Su Zhihao appeared at the door of the Liu family's living room. They both had a lot of things in their hands. Liu Liangjie and Liu Jingze put down their chopsticks and walked towards them. Su Tiantian slowly stood up and walked towards them.
It's not surprising why Sister Lan didn't mention it in advance. The Su and Liu families are in-laws. Anyone who works at the Liu family knows Su Tiantian's status in the Liu family. How could they stop her family? Even before Su Tiantian married into the Liu family, no one would have stopped Su Jinyuan from coming over. He and Liu Liangjie were good friends.
How should I put it? This scene was awkward. The Su family father and son could see what was going on inside the house from the doorway, and Liu Jingze felt like he couldn't get over the feeling even if he jumped into the water. He and a few others were feasting at the dinner table, while his pregnant wife was enjoying a simple meal at the coffee table. He felt like he was mistreating her.
Plain tea and simple meals? It was a surprise that he could come up with such an adjective. Actually, Su Tiantian’s food wasn’t too bad.
Liu Liangjie said, "Jinyuan, why didn't you tell me you were coming earlier? It's such a surprise."
Su Jinyuan said: "Zhihao just got off work, so I asked him to drive something over."
Liu Jingze called out, "Father-in-law, Zhihao."
Su Zhihao called out, "Uncle Liu, brother-in-law."
Liu Liangjie said, "I've sent some more food over. It's in the kitchen. Have you two eaten yet? Let's eat together here."
Su Jinyuan was not polite and said directly: "We haven't eaten yet. Yimei and A Ling are eating at the factory and then continuing to work overtime. Zhihao and I plan to go out for dinner."
Liu Jingze and Sister Lan reached out to take the things from the Su father and son and walked towards the kitchen.
Liu Liangjie put his arm around Su Jinyuan's shoulders and walked towards the dining table, saying as he walked, "Then we can eat here. We've just started eating, and there's enough food."
Su Tiantian walked a little slowly, calling out as she walked: "Dad, Zhihao, you are here."
Su Zhihao quickly went over to support Su Tiantian and said, "I just got home from get off work, and my dad asked me to get something here. Sister, please walk slowly. I think your belly is much bigger than the last time we met."
It wasn't too long since we last met, maybe seven days or so. However, Su Tiantian was pregnant with twins, and after she became pregnant, the babies were indeed getting bigger day by day.
Everyone sitting at the table stood up and greeted each other, then sat down again. The rectangular table was quite large and could usually seat 16 people, so it wasn't crowded at all.
Liu Jingze came out of the kitchen with two pairs of bowls and chopsticks and placed them in front of the Su father and son.
Ren Zhengyu stood up and said, "I'll go make two more dishes. It'll be quick."
Su Jinyuan said: "No, there are enough dishes."
Liu Liangjie pointed at Ren Zhengyu and said, "Jinyuan, this is Jingze's younger cousin. You've met him before. He's a good cook. He made most of the dishes tonight. Come, let's eat while we wait. You're welcome."
Su Jinyuan picked up his chopsticks and said, "Looks like I'm in for a treat tonight."
Su Tiantian looked at the coffee table, struggling over whether to go over and continue eating.
Liu Jingze noticed her expression, so he stood up and said, "Tiantian, I'll go get your food, let's eat here together."
Yun Suiyang and Lan Quancong quickly stood up to help.
When the Su family father and son saw the food Su Tiantian was about to eat, they did not look angry.
In fact, Liu Jingze's worries were a bit unnecessary. Even jumping into the water couldn't clear his wounds. The people in the Su family really didn't suspect that he would abuse Su Tiantian.
There are actually quite a few varieties of food, such as white porridge, stuffed tofu, barbecued pork buns, dried radish, fermented bean curd, salted duck eggs, sweet and sour spareribs, lettuce, and sliced oranges. How can there be so many varieties without careful consideration?
