"Grandpa, the dish is ready. Can we serve it now?"
A servant asked softly in Ren Boxun's ear.
"Hurry up, bring it up here. I specially ordered someone to prepare this dish today."
Six people lined up in an orderly manner, each holding two exquisite plates in their hands. The plates were filled with crystal clear food, arranged to look like a blooming flower, which was very beautiful.
A plate was placed in front of each guest.
"What is this?" Lan Xiaolan looked at the plate of food, which looked a little familiar.
"This looks like sashimi."
"Yeah, kid, this isn't just any sashimi, this is pufferfish."
"I knew everyone would be here today, so I specially had this delicious dish prepared. The puffer fish slices are extremely fresh and sweet, and they're also very nutritious. You're so thin, you should eat more."
"But, this pufferfish is highly poisonous. Are you afraid, kid?"
Lan Xiaolan smiled and said nothing.
"Grandpa, why would she be scared? Pufferfish sashimi is Xiaolan's favorite food."
"It seems you've come to the right place today. You're in for a treat."
"Really? That's great, little grandson's wife, try it quickly and see if it tastes good."
Old Mrs. Bai sat next to Ren Boxun, looking at the old man who was grinning from ear to ear, and seemed to be thinking about something.
She now seemed to understand why Ren Boxun had asked everyone to gather here today: "What a worried old man."
Lan Xiaolan picked up a piece of sashimi in front of her and was about to eat it.
Ren Tingxi quickly stopped him: "Wait a moment."
Then he picked up the plate of sashimi in front of him, took a few bites casually, and then put the plate of puffer fish slices he had eaten in front of Lan Xiaolan.
"I've already eaten this one. It's okay. Eat this one."
"This was specially prepared by Grandpa. How could it go wrong? Don't worry."
"It's not that I don't trust Grandpa, I'm just afraid."
"Eat it."
No matter who made the puffer fish sashimi, even if Lan Tian made it himself like last time, Ren Tingxi would taste it first to make sure it was safe before giving it to Lan Xiaolan.
Ren Tingxi saw all of Lan Xiaolan's meticulous care.
Ren Tingyi took away the plate of puffer fish sashimi in front of Dai Yuecheng. She was still pregnant and it was not appropriate for her to eat raw meat.
Because of Dai Yuecheng's arrival, the kitchen is ready with stewed blood swallows 24 hours a day. Ren Tingyi ordered the servants to prepare a new portion of blood swallows for Dai Yuecheng.
Lan Tian picked up some food for Ren Boxun and started chatting with him about the past period of time.
Bai Qiaosong drank a little wine and started talking.
Old Mrs. Bai held the bowl calmly and ate her meal elegantly. Ren Boxun occasionally liked to say a few funny words to tease her and make her happy, but Old Mrs. Bai did not appreciate it and just gave him a cold look.
Everyone was talking and laughing, and always looked harmonious.
I just don’t know how long this harmonious scene can last in this family where everyone has their own worries.
