Lu Ting was also dumbfounded. What day was it today? Why did all those brats come over? Looking at the large bowl of fried snails on the table, he immediately understood what was going on.
"Yan Yan, how did you know I was bringing friends back for dinner today and preparing so many dishes? This is Comrade Zhang Chao, and this is Comrade Zhou Xiaoyong. They are both soldiers from the Motor Vehicle Company."
Su Yan glared at Lu Ting. The bastard suddenly brought people back without even saying hello in advance. Fortunately, there were some food at home.
"Hello sister-in-law, sorry to bother you."
"Hello, please sit down."
Su Yan looked at the big white mullet in Lu Ting's hand. Isn't this a river fish? Could he have gone swimming in the river?
Lu Ting's scalp was numb from being stared at by Su Yan. Before he could explain anything, Zhang Chao pointed at the big white mullet and said, "Sister-in-law, you don't know how amazing Lu Tuan is. So many people went to the river to bathe, and he was the only one who caught a fish."
"Yeah, Captain Lu is amazing. He said he'd treat us to fish so we came here."
Su Yan understood. It turned out that they all went to the river to bathe together. Lu Ting caught a big fish. These two people urged him to treat them. Lu Ting couldn't refuse and took them home.
Lu Ting has been married for so long, and he has never invited friends to dinner. Just come, isn’t it just two sets of bowls and chopsticks?
"Lu Ting, ask them to sit down while I steam this big white croaker."
The dishes were almost ready, but there were two more people. Since Lu Ting had promised to treat his friends to fish, he decided to steam the big white croaker.
"Yan Yan, sit down and rest for a while. I'll take care of the fish. Xiao Yu, go back and call your parents over for dinner."
"Brother, my parents will come over after work."
"Then you open a watermelon for the guests."
"oh."
Zhang Chao and Zhou Xiaoyong sat on the sofa. The cotton cushions on the sofa had been washed and put away before May 1st and would be taken out in winter, otherwise they would be really hot to death sitting on the sofa that day.
Zhang Chao looked at the plate of meat on the table and swallowed his saliva. What a good day it was today! Why did the captain's family make so many delicious foods?
As soon as the steamed white prawns came out of the pot, Lu Fengnian came with his wife, holding a box of beer in his arms.
Knowing that there would be fried snails today, he even bought beer. Lu Fengnian really knows how to enjoy himself.
"Xiaochen, put the beer in the bucket and soak it. Remember to soak it with well water."
Lu Fengnian put down the box of beer and told Lu Chen to make beer with well water.
Su Yan's space villa has a fully automatic ice maker. Small ice cubes are best used to chill beer and drinks in summer. It is naturally not convenient to take out ice cubes when there are outsiders at home.
Zhang Chao, Zhou Xiaoyong and Lu Fengnian came in and greeted them hurriedly. Lu Fengnian waved his hand and motioned them to sit down.
Seeing so many dishes on the table, Lu Fengnian asked Lu Ting, "Where did this turtle come from?"
Did he know that this kid didn't go to buy vegetables today? Could it be that he caught this turtle in the river?
Lu Ting looked at Su Yan and explained, "I asked a friend to help me get it back. I heard that Dad's birthday is tomorrow, so my wife specially prepared a large table of dishes today."
Lu Fengnian looked at Su Yan with a smile, "Xiaoyan, you've worked hard."
"Dad, Mom, please sit down. I'll go make some noodles."
Su Yan likes round tables. Lu Ting asked a carpenter to make a large round table a few years ago and also ordered ten round stools. The living room was only that big, so the small square table and chairs at home were sent to the Lu family. Now, there is enough space for the seven people in the Lu family plus the two guests Zhang Chao and Zhou Xiaoyong to sit.
Braised soft-shelled turtle, tea oil chicken, stir-fried eggplant, water spinach with garlic sauce, steamed white snapper, red date and soft-shelled turtle soup, five dishes and one soup, plus a large basin of snails and a large bowl of egg noodles, filled the entire round table.
Zhang Chao couldn't help but sigh at how good the food was at Lu Tuan's house, with both soft-shelled turtle and chicken. But when he heard that it was Commander Lu's birthday, he understood that this meal must have been prepared by his sister-in-law for her father-in-law.
"Dad, Mom, I invite you to dinner today. I have good news to announce to you."
Lu Ting is a man who is very good at taking advantage of situations. He obviously did not invite his parents to dinner in advance, and he invited his friends to dinner because of that big white taro.
"What good news?"
"My wife's college entrance examination results are out, and she scored 473 points this time."
"What? What did you say? Yanyan scored 473 points? That's a high score that puts her in the top few in the city."
"Well, she's first in the school and fifth in the city in science."
"No wonder you prepared such a large table of food. I thought you guys were celebrating because it's my birthday tomorrow, but it turns out you're celebrating for Xiaoyan."
Su Yan felt a little wronged. The reason she invited him to dinner was clearly because of the bucket of snails. Since her father-in-law wanted to misunderstand her, she was too lazy to explain. She didn't even know that her father-in-law had his birthday tomorrow.
Foodie Lu Yu put down his bowl and chopsticks and explained, "Dad, we were supposed to eat today, but the turtle could be kept for a few days. My sister-in-law knew it was Dad's birthday, so she killed all the chickens and turtles at home, and also prepared a big bowl of longevity noodles."
When Lu Fengnian looked at the bowl of egg noodles in the middle of the round table, he realized that he had misunderstood Su Yan.
"Xiaoyan, I'm sorry. Dad misunderstood you."
"It's okay, Dad, eat more. I didn't know it was your birthday tomorrow at first. Xiaoyu told me."
Lu Yu raised his chin and looked at his father, as if saying, Dad, please praise me!
Hua Min took over the conversation, "Xiaoyan, thank you for your hard work today. Come over for lunch tomorrow."
"Okay, Mom, I got it."
Lu Ting asked Lu Jin, "Your results are out too, right?"
"Well, it's not far from the estimated score, 451 points."
"Good boy, you did well on the test! Is your first choice the same as your sister-in-law's? Looks like you'll be classmates with your sister-in-law."
