Chapter 146: Mo Family Dinner (1st update)
Qin Jingshu had an elegant smile on her face.
"I'm glad I can help you. In fact, there are many excellent girls around me. Whether it's appearance, character, talent, or family background, they are all first-class and outstanding. If you have time, let's go out for tea together and I will introduce you to them."
"We'll talk about it later. I'm going back to school to defend my graduation thesis soon, and my dad wants me to join the company to learn management."
"Then let's make an appointment when you are free."
…
After two days of rest, his body was almost recovered, and Mo Shaochen finally agreed to go back to the old house with Madam Mo for dinner.
Although they all live on the same mountain, everyone has different schedules and usually eats in their own yards.
However, because of Mo Shaochen's return today, the old lady called everyone from the second and first houses together for a simple gathering.
It was 7:30 in the evening when Mo Shaochen arrived. Everyone from the first and second rooms had arrived and gathered in the hall waiting for him.
The second house has a simple population, including Mo Shaochen's parents, the second master Mo Xianlin and the second wife Yilan.
There were more people in the big house. The eldest uncle Mo Zonglin and the eldest wife Lin Xi had two sons and one daughter. The eldest son Mo Shaotang and the second son Mo Shaoyang also had wives and children. The whole family of nine sat together and chatted, which was very lively.
Old Madam Mo was rarely happy. She wore an ochre-red cheongsam and looked energetic and radiant.
Seeing him stand up and greet him, "I've been waiting for you alone. You didn't know how to leave so early."
The old lady said words of blame, but her face was full of smiles.
Mo Shaochen unbuttoned his suit jacket, handed it to the servant beside him, and slowly unbuttoned his shirt sleeves. "It's a bit late because of the traffic jam on the road. Please take a seat first. I'll go upstairs to change my clothes."
Madam Mo raised her hand and asked everyone to take a seat.
There was a long mahogany dining table, with Mo Shaochen sitting in the middle, the old lady sitting first on the left, and Mo Zonglin sitting first on the right, and the others took their seats in order.
The dishes are rich and delicious, carefully prepared.
Three cold dishes, six hot dishes, eight main courses, traditional soup, and several desserts.
The staple foods are rice, porridge and noodles. Each dish comes in two portions, placed separately to ensure that everyone can get the dish they want.
The dishes were almost served and Mo Shaochen changed his clothes and came down.
The old lady ordered someone to open the red wine, and when she saw him coming, she said, "Pour you a small half glass, just drink a little, don't drink too much."
Mo Shaochen nodded and sat down, picked up the red wine glass and shook it, then glanced indifferently at the people at the table, his voice low and serious.
"I've been busy lately and haven't been back to the old house very often. My uncle and father have worked hard to take care of the old lady and family matters. It's rare for us to get together for a family dinner, so just be casual." After saying that, he raised his glass and drank the red wine.
Mo Shaochen's mother, Lu Yilan, frowned as she watched, "Drink less. The old lady has already said so. Just a little bit of your expression will do."
Mo Zonglin on the opposite side laughed, "Don't worry, sister-in-law, red wine is not harmful to your health, it's okay to drink more."
Mo Shaochen has had poor health since childhood and cannot drink alcohol. This is known to the entire Mo family, but to what extent his health is poor, no one except the second wife and the old master and mistress is very clear.
Mo Shaochen's father, Mo Xianlin, didn't say anything. After drinking the red wine, he picked up his chopsticks to eat. He picked up a small half bowl for his wife who was only worried about her son, and then started eating himself.
The dishes in front of Mo Shaochen were specially prepared for him. They were very light and did not look very appetizing.

He had a calm expression, ate slowly and with great relish.
Mrs. Mo felt so distressed when she saw this that she wanted to pick up some food for him, but she couldn't.
Since childhood, Mo Shaochen has been brought up by the old man, who taught him personally. The old man also strictly forbade the old lady and Lu Yilan to show concern for him or spoil him. It can be said that Mo Shaochen's words and deeds are strictly measured according to the standards of an heir.
After dinner, Mo Shaochen sat with the old lady for a while, then accompanied his parents back to the second house.
Although they all live on the same mountain, the distance between the rooms is not close. It takes five minutes by electric minibus or twenty minutes on foot to get from the main house to the second room.
Lu Yilan affectionately held her son Mo Shaochen's arm and said, "Come with me and walk back. It's a walk and you can help digest your food at the same time."
Have a good weekend~
