Around noon, Liu Feng and Yu Jingya had lunch at their uncle's house.
Today, my sister-in-law, Xia Guihua, couldn't go home because she was worried about her business on the street; the rest of the family stayed in their hometown. My aunt and grandmother cooked a delicious meal together.
In the center of the table, a large bowl of pig's trotters was arranged very temptingly, with a crystal-clear color and a rich aroma.
Liu Feng picked up a piece of pig's trotter. The trotter was coated with a thick broth. He took a light bite, and the collagen and fat between the skin and meat slowly melted in his mouth. The abundance of collagen was irresistible.
He couldn't help but eat it bite after bite.
"Little Si, Grandma knows you love pig's trotters. There's plenty in this big bowl. Eat as much as you like!" Grandma Fang Shuxiang looked at Liu Feng with a loving expression, then turned to Yu Jingya and asked gently, "Jingya, what do you like to eat? Don't be shy."
"Thank you, Grandma," Liu Feng and Yu Jingya replied in unison.
"Fourth brother, Grandma knows you like pig's trotters, so she bought a lot this year for the New Year, just waiting for you and Jingya to come back and eat them often," said the eldest brother, Liu Xingman, with a smile.
Then, the second brother, Liu Xingyi, came over with a pot of warm wine and poured a cup for everyone present.
“Any wine that my fourth brother brings is good wine. This wine is only kept at home for the family to drink. A cup in winter warms you up all over and you won’t feel cold all day,” Liu Xingyi said with emotion. Whenever he has free time, he will rush home just to taste this wine.
Grandma and Auntie, who normally don't drink at all, picked up their glasses and took a small sip.
"This little bit of wine has given me energy all day long," Fang Shuxiang said with a smile.
The family sat together, enjoying a steaming meal and warm drinks, creating a cozy and harmonious atmosphere.
At this moment, Liu Lanlan skipped over to Liu Feng and said in a coquettish tone, "Fourth Uncle, I want to eat pig's trotters too."
Yu Jingya teased, "Does the way your fourth uncle eats pig's trotters make you hungry?"
Liu Lanlan nodded: "Mm"
Liu Feng glanced at the remaining chicken leg in her small bowl and asked, "You haven't finished the chicken leg in this bowl yet, what are you going to do?"
Liu Lanlan blinked her big eyes, as if to say, "I haven't finished my chicken leg yet, but that doesn't stop me from wanting to eat pig's trotters."
She tilted her head and thought for a moment, then said, "I'll give you the chicken leg."
Liu Feng quickly shook his head: "No, this chicken leg has been covered in your saliva, I won't eat it."
Liu Lanlan immediately said, "Give it to Fourth Sister." As she spoke, she put the chicken leg from the small bowl into Yu Jingya's bowl.
Fang Shuxiang sat down next to Yu Jingya. She quickly reached out to stop her, put Liu Lanlan's chicken leg into her own bowl, and said, "Lanlan, you've been eating too much good food. Now you're not eating your chicken leg properly. Look at your little brother, Xiaohu, he's almost finished a whole chicken leg."
Yu Jingya followed her grandmother's gaze to Liu Xiaohu, only to see the little guy with his cheeks puffed out like a squirrel, munching on a chicken leg with great relish, looking extremely cute.
Liu Lanlan grumbled unhappily, "My little brother is a pig; he can eat anything."
Liu Feng looked at Lanlan, smiled, picked up a piece of pig's trotter and brought it to her mouth: "Here, Lanlan, eat."
Liu Lanlan happily took a bite, her mouth oozing oil, which made everyone burst into laughter.
Seeing how much Liu Feng loved children, Yu Jingya also put a piece of pig's trotter in Liu Lanlan's small bowl. She secretly thought that after marrying Liu Feng, she would definitely give him a few cute babies.
Everyone continued to enjoy the sumptuous lunch, and laughter echoed throughout the room.
Liu Feng talked to his older brothers about his idea of developing the South City, while his grandfather and uncle listened with shining eyes.
Outside the door, the winter sun shines into the courtyard, bathing the entire yard in a warm golden glow.
Suddenly, a sharp and urgent alarm broke the tranquility of Liu Village.
