Feng Zhiyi looked at them with a smile, "Don't worry, I'm in great health! I have a great appetite!"
Everyone, "..."
You seem to be enjoying your meal, but it's making us all very worried.
Especially those who were unaware, such as Ma Hongying, Wang Shujuan, Yang Xiulan, and Jian Daying, were worried that Feng Zhiyi's sudden fainting might be due to a relapse of her injuries.
Once they got home, they immediately sat on a rattan chair and happily started gnawing on chicken feet!
Since Feng Zhiyi was alright, Ma Hongying and the others didn't stay any longer and went home to prepare dinner.
However, before they left, Lu's mother packed a few kinds of braised food for each of them to take home and add to their dishes. These people were all nice; during Feng Zhiyi's hospitalization, they brought her a lot of soup and food to the hospital.
These days, no one is well-off, but these women persisted in delivering the goods for several days.
They took turns delivering the soup, one day to your house, the next day to mine, until Feng Zhiyi was discharged from the hospital, at which point they stopped delivering the soup.
On the day of discharge, Ma Hongying and Yang Xiulan each brought 5 jin of mutton, while Wang Shujuan and Jian Daying each brought an old hen, and a woman named Luo Mei also brought a basket of local eggs.
These favors were always remembered by Lu's mother.
So whenever she has something delicious at home, she subconsciously thinks of sharing some with those families, since social interactions are all about giving and receiving.
Since the other person is affectionate and understands her feelings, she naturally can't be too stingy.
After Lan Guixiang and the others made such a fuss, everyone's mood was somewhat affected. So, during dinner that evening, Grandpa Feng kept pulling Grandpa Huo to drink with him.
"Brother Huo, you don't know, my youngest son is the smartest and most business-savvy one in our family."
"It's a pity he's so stubborn! Back then, my eldest and second eldest brothers and I were already prepared to kidnap him and take him abroad, but he refused no matter what."
"He even said... that even if he were kidnapped and taken abroad, he would still come back to China."
"I never thought... I never thought that my momentary soft-heartedness would cause him so much suffering. If I had been more assertive back then, Shimin wouldn't have passed away so early."
Grandpa Huo comforted him, "It's all in the past, we should look forward."
"You should think of it this way: if Shimin had really gone abroad with you back then, you might not have such a wonderful granddaughter as Zhiyi now!"
Grandpa Feng, "..."
That makes sense.
If Shimin had gone abroad back then, he wouldn't have met Lan Guixiang, and naturally, he wouldn't have had a daughter like Feng Zhiyi...
Thinking of this, Grandpa Feng felt much less depressed.
There are gains and losses.
The fact is that his youngest son is gone, and saying these things now won't change anything, but his granddaughter is alive and well by their side, and he should be content.
Grandma Feng turned to look at Grandpa Feng, and the corners of her mouth lifted slightly. It was good that the old man had let go of his worries. She was just afraid that he would get stuck in a rut and suffer for a while.
She has come to terms with things now. As long as her granddaughter is doing well, she is content. She no longer asks for anything else.
Grandpa Feng's emotions came and went quickly; he was the kind of person who came to his senses very quickly. In front of everyone, he raised his glass, and a happy smile returned to his face.
"Come on, everyone, let's have a drink. I won't say anything else. I hope everyone is healthy and has good fortune in the new year. May the young people find wives and get married."
Feng Henglin, “…”
Grandpa's last sentence was clearly an implication for him.
Among the young people in the room, only Lan Yifeng, Guan Mingcheng, and Qin An were single, along with Xiao Bin and a few others.
They exchanged a glance, feeling that Grandpa Feng was implying that they were both getting on in years and it was time to find wives, get married, and start a family.
Before they could respond, Grandpa Feng continued, "And then I wish Zhizhi's career great success and smooth sailing, and that her relationship with Ling Xiao gets better and better."
Of course, it would be even better if the young couple could give him a great-grandchild.
But Old Master Feng didn't say these words aloud, after all, Lu Lingxiao's health...
"Come on, everyone, let's drink!"
At this moment, Old Master Huo also echoed the sentiment.
Seeing this, everyone raised their glasses, while the children raised their juice glasses.
Then he drank it all in one gulp!
"Eat your food, everyone! Take some food, especially Xiao Lan and Xiao Guan, don't be shy. And Xiao Qin, Xiao Xiao, and Xiao Xue, don't be shy either. Take whatever you want to eat and drink well."
Everyone nodded.
At the table where Feng Zhiyi and her female companions sat, everyone subconsciously took care of her, constantly putting food on her plate. Before long, her bowl was piled high with food.
The children sat at a separate table.
The men sat at two tables. Because there were so many people, one table wasn't enough. The tables and chairs were borrowed from the army canteen by Lu Lingxiao and his cousin.
Return it after use.
There were four tables of people, and the atmosphere was wonderful.
The house was filled with joyful laughter, which continued until dinner was over.
"It's getting late, everyone should go home and rest. You've all had a long day, so get some rest. We'll go into town tomorrow to buy New Year's goods."
Seeing that it was getting late, and everyone was a bit tired after a busy day, they quickly washed up and went back to their rooms to rest.
