Su Xiao's address of "Uncle" made Tian Rongyao extremely happy, and a smile finally appeared on his worried face.
"Dad, I'll go cook. You can spend some time talking with your little sister." Tian Zhibing naturally took over the conversation and stopped Tian Rongyao from doing so.
His father's emotions had just stabilized a bit, so he couldn't let him overwork himself.
"Good, you're a good cook." Tian Rongyao looked at his son and thought about it. So, he happily said to Su Xiao, "Xiao Xiao, your second cousin is a chef. His cooking skills are pretty good. What kind of dishes do you like? Let your second cousin make them."
"I'm fine with anything, home-cooked food is great." Su Xiao naturally wouldn't offer any more opinions; she'd go along with whatever the host suggested.
“Xiaoxiao likes to eat Dongpo pork,” Tian Shuang remarked from the side.
Tian Zhibing glanced at Tian Shuang, and said with a hint of disdain, "Is it just that you like to eat it?"
He hadn't forgotten how he saw her eating meat heartily in the hotel lobby the night before last, with two pieces still in her mouth.
“Brother…” Tian Shuang glared at him angrily.
"Xiaoshuang is right, I'm from Nancheng, and I do like Dongpo pork." Su Xiao spoke up in time to ease the tension.
Tian Zhibing had only meant to tease Tian Shuang, and knowing when to stop, he immediately said, "Okay, if you like it, I'll make it."
This interruption livened up the atmosphere in the living room considerably.
Songsong nestled in her mother Qian Meihua's arms, clapping her little hands and cheerfully exclaiming, "Meat, meat!"
Upon seeing this, everyone smiled.
Now that they had recognized each other, Tian Rongyao's emotions had calmed down, and they naturally talked about the Su family again.
When Tian Rongyao learned that his sister had a son serving in the army, and that Xiao Shuang had taken care of him when he was injured last time, he exclaimed that it was all fate.
Tian Shuang recalled her battle of wits with Su Qiang and found it quite amusing. She was also surprised to learn that she and Su Xiao were actually cousins.
Of course, Su Xiao said from the beginning that she was an adopted daughter, but the kindness of raising her was greater than the kindness of giving birth to her, and the Tian family all recognized Su Xiao.
"Oh dear, Qiangzi actually got married! What a pity! I almost missed attending his wedding." Tian Rongyao felt very regretful and wanted to see his nephew, Su Qiang, right away.
“If my brother knew that so many relatives were sending him their blessings, he would be very happy. When I got home, I told him to come and visit you.”
"Have him come over?" Tian Rongyao shook his head. "I'll go instead. He injured his foot, and it takes a hundred days to recover from a broken bone. He shouldn't overexert himself. I'll go, and I'll ask for leave later. Xiaoxiao, when are you going back? I'll go with you."
"Dad? You..." Tian Zhiwei was surprised and wanted to stop him, but seeing the longing in his eyes, he couldn't say anything to object.
Song Jinhua frowned, having made up her mind. She knew very well the knot in Tian Rongyao's heart. Now, she would go to Kyoto to see her nephew and see if she could break his knot.
This might be a good thing.
“Come on, Yao-ge, I’ll go with you. We’re both getting on in years and haven’t been to Kyoto yet. Let’s go take a look around and watch the flag-raising ceremony,” Song Jinhua enthusiastically agreed.
Sure enough, upon hearing this, Tian Rongyao was overjoyed. "Jinhua, thank you. You really understand me."
"Brother Yao, why are you thanking me? We're husband and wife."
"Yes, yes, I misspoke, I should be punished."
Su Xiao and Tian Shuang exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with smiles.
