"Xiao Su, you're too kind."
Looking at the incredibly plump chicken, the large piece of mutton, the bag of mountain delicacies, and the large bag of seafood, Ling's mother felt that Su Feng was too honest.
Even for a family like theirs, it's not always possible to afford something this nice.
Clearly, Comrade Su Feng has their family on his mind, preparing such a wonderful New Year's gift.
“These are all New Year’s gifts prepared by my parents for relatives and friends. The mountain delicacies are from the mountains of Northeast China. They are a token of our family’s goodwill.”
Although Su Feng didn't know where his parents had found these wonderful things, his whole family loved them.
"This looks like a good product. Your parents are so thoughtful."
Even before meeting the Su family, Ling's mother already felt a certain fondness for them; a family so well-mannered couldn't be too bad.
"Mom, Su Feng's parents are both professors at Peking University, his brother and sister-in-law are both teachers at Peking University, he himself is a graduate student at the Southern Military Medical College, and his sister is a student at Peking University and will be taking the graduate entrance exam soon."
Ling Xiaohe, who was standing to the side, was worried that his family would look down on the Su family, so he immediately announced loudly what the Su family members did for a living.
After hearing this, Ling's mother's face showed surprise. She really didn't expect that her son's comrade-in-arms and savior's family was so powerful.
If their family is a rough and uncultured bunch, then the other family is a scholarly family—two extremes.
"The professor from Kyoto University is very impressive."
Sister-in-law Ling and Sister-in-law Ling both heard this, exchanged a glance, and were filled with admiration. They didn't even have associate degrees; they weren't even college graduates.
That family is full of professors, teachers, graduate students, and undergraduates; they've produced a real college graduate so far.
The Ling family seemed quite approachable, not the kind of people who looked down on others. After observing them, Su Feng thought the Ling family was alright, and if his younger sister married into the family, she probably wouldn't be bullied.
"Auntie, sisters-in-law, I won't bother you any longer. My family is waiting for me to come back for the New Year's Eve dinner. I wish you a happy new year, good health, and all the best."
It was getting late, almost eleven o'clock, and Su Feng felt it wasn't appropriate to stay any longer, so he immediately got up and said goodbye.
During the Lunar New Year, it's impolite to eat at someone else's house without permission.
Ling's mother and the others tried to persuade him to stay, but in the end, Ling Xiaohe personally saw him off.
"Su Feng, what do you think about Mingming visiting your house for the New Year?! Would it be inappropriate?! Do you think it's suitable?!"
Ever since he learned that Su Huazhu was willing to get to know him better, Ling Xiaohe couldn't wait to see her the next day.
Su Feng: "..."
However, his family doesn't have any problems, so he doesn't really care about these things.
"Come if you want, maybe the rest of you will be out having fun."
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, they didn't have many relatives or friends to visit. They either went to pay their respects to Uncle Zhang and Uncle Lu, or strolled around the Forbidden City and the Xishan Park.
"Come on, I'll definitely come. Remember to wait for me."
Upon hearing this, Ling Xiaohe immediately decided to visit the Su family tomorrow to offer New Year's greetings, hoping to leave a good impression on Su Huazhu and the Su family and make them like him.
Su Feng: "..."
Ling Xiaohe escorted Su Feng to the gate of the compound and watched him ride his bicycle until he disappeared at the end of the road before happily going home.
"Xiao He, where did your comrade buy the seafood? It's so plump and delicious! We have to add some to tonight's New Year's Eve dinner."
Ling Ersao's mouth watered at the sight of the bag of seafood. It was truly rare to find such large seafood at this time of year, and seafood was her favorite food.
Each of these crabs weighs over half a pound, and there are ten of them in total. The shrimp are also quite large; about nine of them would weigh a pound, and there are about thirty of them here.
Plump and fresh.
"Second sister-in-law, let's make it then. Their chicken is delicious, the meat is especially firm and a little sweet. The mutton is even more delicious, without any gamey taste. The mountain delicacies are very fragrant, it's really so delicious."
Ling Xiaohe had already eaten two meals at the Su family's house yesterday, and the food was incredibly delicious; just thinking about it makes his mouth water.
Is it really that delicious?!
Sister-in-law Ling and Sister-in-law Ling looked at the live chicken and the mutton still in the kitchen, their eyes also sweeping over the mutton they had just stewed and the chicken they were about to stir-fry. They felt a pang of regret that all these dishes were already prepared.
At noon, Mr. Ling, his father, and his two older brothers returned for lunch. They were all surprised to hear that Su Feng had come to deliver New Year's gifts and to see the two large bowls of plump seafood on the table.
The other dishes were barely touched, but the two bowls of seafood were devoured in no time; they were absolutely delicious.
"Grandpa, Mom and Dad, we're going to the Su family to pay New Year's respects tomorrow."
After finishing their New Year's Eve dinner, Ling Xiaohe told the three heads of the family about his plan.
Visiting other people's homes to offer New Year's greetings on the first day of the Lunar New Year?!
This doesn't seem like the style of his grandson and their sons!
Mr. Ling and his parents looked at their grandson with puzzled expressions. Their first feeling was that something was wrong, very wrong, yet too right.
"Isn't this inappropriate?! We have no relatives or friends, and it's really inappropriate for us to go to someone else's house on the first day of the Lunar New Year."
Ling's father looked around. The old father didn't say a word, and his daughter-in-law didn't speak either. It would be best if he could educate the child himself.
“Dad, I’ve already spoken to Su Feng, and his family has no objections.”
Ling Xiaohe wasn't embarrassed at all; instead, he smiled very happily and took the initiative to report.
놋 situation.
Absolutely true.
Even though Ling's father and mother were slow to realize now, they understood the hidden meaning in their son's words.
The couple exchanged a glance, but tacitly refrained from pressing further and continued eating.
After the meal, Sister-in-law Ling and Sister-in-law Ling cleared the table, and Father Ling and Mother Ling went into the room.
"I feel like Xiaohe treats the Su family differently. What kind of person is this Su Feng who came today?! What does his family do?!"
"Xiao He said that this Su Feng is a military doctor pursuing a master's degree. He performed surgery on him at the border and saved his life. His parents are professors at Peking University, his older brother and sister-in-law are teachers at Peking University, and his younger sister is an undergraduate at Peking University who is preparing to take the postgraduate entrance examination."
The family is very capable; there are no problems.
Ling's mother recounted the Su family's situation to Ling's father word for word. The impression was so deep that it was hard for her not to remember it.
Although the Su family is well-off, and Su Feng is Ling Xiaohe's savior, surely it's not necessary for him to run to their house on the first day of the Lunar New Year?
but……
"You mean he has a younger sister?!"
