"Mom, no need to send me off. My dad is back, and my second uncle is here too. I met him on the road. He's here to give us some beef. It's a really big piece. I heard from him that a team of cows fell and died near their county town, so he saw it and bought some. Haha, we have meat to eat again."
"Then where are they?"
"A little later, it will be here soon. I ran back to tell you to prepare two more sets of bowls and chopsticks." Li Xiaodong shook off the water droplets on his hands and consciously brought the food from the kitchen to the table.
Ning Xiyue felt a little hesitant when she heard the news. She wondered if the two siblings were being too rash.
She suddenly felt a little regretful for having rashly agreed to stay for dinner. As strangers meeting for the first time, it would be too much of a disturbance for the whole family to stay.
There were other family members coming, which was a bit awkward.
But since I'm here, I might as well make the best of it. I need to come over more often in the future, treat them like relatives, and not let others think I'm only visiting to ask for favors. I absolutely cannot leave such a bad impression.
They not only represent themselves but also Aunt Lin.
Ning Qingyuan had the same idea. The two siblings looked at each other and gave Ning Xiyue a firm look.
Then they helped to serve the food and get the dishes and chopsticks. Since it had come to this, they would just try their best to do their best. With the personalities of these two siblings, they were not afraid.
It's just a relative coming over, so they must make sure the meal isn't awkward, and that the guests enjoy themselves and leave a good impression.
Shen Qingxia was also worried that the two of them would be too reserved and embarrassed, so she took out the food from the lunch box and said with a smile:
"Don't be shy, his second uncle is a very nice person. You two are not much different in age, maybe you can become friends."
"Aunt Chen, don't worry about us. We are not reserved. My two siblings and I are going to have such a sumptuous meal from you. There is nothing to be reserved about." Ning Xiyue said jokingly.
"It's good that you are not restrained. You must come to Aunt Shen's house for dinner often in the future. Today's meal is a blessing for you two brothers and sisters. You helped me roll out the dough, made dumplings, and helped me light the fire."
Shen Qingxia pointed at the two plates of bacon on the table and said with a smile:
"Even this bacon was brought by you guys. Don't mind if Auntie Shen treats you guys with the meat you brought. This meat smells so good, I can't help but want to cook it and try it first."
"If you like it, I'll bring you some next time. I still have one or two pieces here, both given to me by my sister. But the taste is a little different from this one, it's spicy bacon. I don't know if you like it."
Ning Qingyuan spoke sweet words. Shen Qingxia was delighted after hearing them, and her whole face was filled with smiles.
"I accept your kindness, but you should keep it for yourselves. It's the time for growth, so you need to eat more nutritious food. Life in the countryside is harder than in our town, so you need to eat more good food. Don't treat yourselves badly, understand?"
"I understand, Aunt Chen." Ning Xiyue and Ning Qingyuan responded with a smile.
At the door of the main hall, Li Xiaodong and his sister were lying on the door, looking into the yard. As soon as they lay on the door, they saw movement at the gate. They looked closely and saw that it was the person they were waiting for.
"Mom, Dad and Uncle are home, we can have dinner now."
"Qingxia, I'm back."
"Sister-in-law, look at what to do with this piece of beef."
A deep voice and a slightly lighter young voice sounded at the same time.
Ning Xiyue felt that the voice sounded familiar, and subconsciously looked up, and saw a very familiar person walking in with a piece of bright red meat in his hand.
Wow, I thought it would be an awkward situation, but it turned out to be a meeting among acquaintances.
