Before leaving, Liu Jingze sent a message to Su Tiantian: "Tiantian, grandma, dad, and I are going to your house." Su Tiantian replied: "Okay." She quickly went downstairs to tell her parents.
At 6:25, the people from Siqi Farm arrived with a meal of ten dishes and a soup. Just as the meal was set, three members of the Liu family arrived, followed by two people carrying a number of gifts. The Su family went to the courtyard gate to greet them. Liu Liangjie said loudly, "Old friend, you're coming out to greet me! Don't you think I know the way?" Su Jinyuan patted him on the shoulder and said, "Brother Jie, you can pretend I'm not here to greet you." The two had always had a good relationship and spoke directly. Grandma Lu couldn't help but laugh when she saw Su Tiantian: "You young people really know how to have fun. Is this called couple's outfits?"
When everyone looked at them, they found that their clothes did look like a couple's outfit.
Liu Jingze wore a black suit with a basic burgundy shirt underneath. He didn't wear a tie, and the top button was undone, just revealing his Adam's apple. He looked steady yet a bit wild. His hair was obviously carefully groomed, and he held a bouquet of red roses in his hand.
Su Tiantian wore a burgundy knitted dress with a V-neck, revealing a corner of a slightly thick gold necklace. The decorative buttons extended from the neckline to the hem, giving the dress a three-dimensional feel. The dress was a fishtail skirt that reached the calf, which was slimming and festive. She wore a black suit jacket on the outside with black lace at the collar and cuffs.
The two of them had never mentioned what to wear to each other, but they actually wore matching outfits. It seemed like they were really in sync. Liu Jingze's eyes lit up and he handed the rose to Su Tiantian: "Tiantian, this is for you." Su Tiantian took it with a smile: "Thank you, Brother Jing."
Everyone walked into the living room, and the two people who followed them put down the gifts and left.
Su Jinyuan said, "You guys come to eat, bring your own food, and even give gifts. Is there anyone who eats like this?"
Liu Liangjie laughed heartily: "Jinyuan, I prefer to eat the food you cook, but I am afraid that you will be tired. Then let's eat the food from Siqi Farm. As for the gift, Jingze should give it. He is the younger generation."
Su Jinyuan said, "It's almost seven o'clock. Let's eat first, otherwise the food will get cold."
Everyone sat down in turn. Liu Jingze pulled Su Tiantian to sit next to his grandmother. Su Jinyuan looked at her without saying a word. Su Tiantian whispered beside Jingze, "I'll put the flowers down first." Liu Jingze's eyes followed Su Tiantian, watching her place the flowers on the coffee table in the living room until she sat down again.
Liu Liangjie said, "Jinyuan, you should try this rice worm, it's really good."
Su Jinyuan scooped some with a spoon and said, "You and I both like it, but Jingze and Tiantian don't eat it."
Liu Liangjie also scooped some with a spoon and said, "Yes, neither of them wanted to eat it. Rice worms were so expensive back then. I heard they were nutritious, so it took a lot of effort to coax them into eating. Tiantian ate some, but Jingze refused to eat anything."
Su Tiantian felt a little aggrieved: "I said I didn't want to eat it, but you mixed eggs and rice worms together, steamed them, and put them in the rice to trick me into eating it."
Liu Jingze said: "You will know after you eat it."
Su Tiantian complained to him: "You didn't even remind me."
Liu Jingze may have felt a little guilty, so he kept silent.
Liu Liangjie said: "I can't believe the children are already this old now. We have known each other for decades."
Su Jinyuan said, "Yeah, back then our family wasn't well off. It wasn't like now, where you can just buy whatever you want."
Liu Jingze peeled the shrimps, dipped them in sauce and put them on Grandma Lu's plate.
Grandma Lu said, "You don't have to take care of me. Just take care of Tiantian."
Su Tiantian said, "I can peel it myself."
Su Jinyuan said, "Brother Liang, would you like some wine? Tiantian brought back a box of wine last time. The alcohol content isn't very high, but it tastes good."
Liu Liangjie said: "Of course I have to drink. I was planning on using the wine in the car if you didn't bring it out. I tell you, the wine in my car has a long aftertaste."
Su Jinyuan said, "Then I'll try your wine next time."
Sang Yimei said, "Don't drink too much, or you'll feel uncomfortable."
Liu Liangjie said, "I'm so happy today, and I'll be even happier if I have a few drinks. Wine doesn't make you drunk that easily."
Su Zhihao took out the wine, but Grandma Lu said she didn't want to drink it, so Su Zhihao poured wine for everyone except Grandma Lu.
Liu Liangjie raised his glass and said, "Jinyuan, I toast you. We have been friends for decades, and now we are becoming relatives, which is a perfect match."
Su Jinyuan said hesitantly, "Jingze and Tiantian only announced their relationship on the third day of the Lunar New Year, and now they're saying they want to get married on the seventh day. They're too hasty."
