"Grandpa Xiao, Grandma Luo, these dishes are still warm. You, Uncle Xiao, Xiao Yu, and Chenchen can eat them while they're hot. I'm going to take them to Grandpa Li and Grandpa Chen now as well."
"On behalf of our family, Grandma Luo congratulates your eldest brother on his engagement!"
Grandma Luo smiled and said that Grandpa Xiao, his father, and Xiao Yu immediately followed up with their congratulations.
The adorable Xiao Chen tugged at Song Lan's trouser leg.
"What does Chenchen want to say to her aunt about Mom?"
Song Lan lowered her eyes and asked with a smile.
Congratulations, Auntie!
The adorable little boy, Xiao Chen, tilted his head back and spoke in a cute, baby voice.
Song Lan and Grandpa Xiao burst out laughing. Song Lan said, "Our Chenchen should congratulate Auntie's older brother, not Auntie! However, Auntie will accept Chenchen's congratulations on behalf of your Uncle Qingbin!"
Gently pinching the child's chubby cheeks, Song Lan turned her gaze back to Grandpa Xiao and Mrs. Luo: "Grandpa Xiao, Grandma Luo, please enjoy your meal. I'll take these from the basket to Grandpa Li and the others while they're still warm."
Xiao Yu escorted Song Lan to the door.
"Go in."
Song Lan waved to the other person and said, "Grandpa Li and the others live not far away. I'll be there in no time."
This was to prevent Xiao Yu from taking her to the thatched hut where Elder Li and Elder Shen lived.
"Then... are you still coming over?"
Xiao Yu asked.
"I'll say goodbye when I leave."
Song Lan laughed and said, "Except for the dish of stir-fried wood ear mushrooms with eggs, which was made by my mother, I cooked all the other dishes. Come in and try my cooking skills."
"It will definitely be great."
Xiao Yu replied without hesitation.
"You have that much confidence in me?"
The smile in Song Lan's eyes was almost overflowing.
"There's nothing you can't do well if you're determined to do it. I believe in you."
In their original world, she was known as the "Little Miracle Doctor" by countless people as a healer; after joining the army, she led troops into battle and was invincible.
And then there's the noblewoman of the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion, whose outstanding talent is known to everyone in the capital.
Therefore, he believed that in her heart, she either wouldn't do it at all, or if she did, she would do it to the best of her ability!
Song Lan paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "You should taste my cooking before you judge whether it's good or not, otherwise your praise will make me feel guilty."
As soon as the words left her lips, Song Lan turned around and walked lightly toward the thatched hut where Elder Li and Elder Shen lived.
"Lanlan went there?"
Xiao Yu returned to the house, and looking at him, Old Madam Luo asked with a loving smile.
"Yes, it's over."
Nodding, Xiao Yu noticed that no one in his family had touched their chopsticks and asked, "Why aren't you eating?"
“We just ate. If we pick up our chopsticks now, your grandfather and I might not be able to digest it properly. You should sit down and eat something with your dad and Chenchen.”
Grandma Luo waved to Xiao Yu, her eldest grandson.
"I'm also worried that it won't be easy to digest."
Mr. Xiao understood what his parents meant; they wanted their children and grandchildren to eat more, which was why they used that excuse. As a father himself and the grandfather of his grandson, he naturally couldn't compete with his children and grandchildren for a bite to eat.
"Have some, everyone. Song Lan wants us to try her cooking."
Xiao Yu felt a pang of sadness. He wasn't stupid; how could he not understand the meaning behind his grandparents' and father's words? He brought chopsticks and distributed them to his family, smiling faintly as he said:
"The stir-fried black fungus with eggs was made by Aunt Song, and the other dishes were made by Song Lan. Grandpa, Grandma, Dad, you eat quickly, I'll feed Chenchen."
"Eat up, everyone. Otherwise, when Lanlan comes over and asks us how it tastes, we won't be able to answer if we haven't even touched our chopsticks."
When Grandpa Xiao spoke up, Grandma Luo said to him, "Listen to your father, let's have a good taste of Lanlan and her mother's cooking."
Father Xiao nodded: "Alright."
-
Song Lan didn't linger with Old Li and Old Shen. She left the food and steamed buns behind, then said goodbye to the elderly couple and returned to the Xiao family's place. However, she didn't stay at the Xiao family's place for long either.
reason?
Wu Dong would drive to the village around 2 o'clock.
"Sister-in-law."
"What's wrong?"
The banquet in the main room had ended, and Song Lan was helping to wash the dishes in the kitchen when she heard Tuanzi Xiao Wu's voice. She turned to look at her.
When are we going home?
Tuanzi Xiaowu asked.
Song Lan: "Missing your second brother and sister?"
"Um."
The little dumpling has five tiny heads.
"Go play with your sister for a while. We'll go back as soon as Brother Wu's car arrives."
Song Lan smiled and comforted the little guy.
When will Brother Wu arrive?
Tuanzi Xiaowu stood still.
Song Lan: "Around two o'clock."
Tuanzi Xiaowu: "What time is it?"
"Just past one o'clock."
Looking at the time on her wristwatch, Song Lan responded with a smile.
"I understand, sister-in-law, I'm going to go play with my little sister."
Tuanzi Xiaowu left a message and walked away with her short legs.
"Lanlan, your brother-in-law is so young, but he's really clever." It was Aunt Song's voice. She was also helping to wash the dishes in the kitchen. Hearing what she said, Song Lan smiled and said, "The little guy is very clever, and he's also very sensible."
"He's quite sensible; I haven't seen him cause any trouble."
Aunt Song said, "Your sister-in-law is a bit quiet."
Song Lan: "I guess it's shy around strangers."
Aunt Song: "You must be tired every day, right? You have to take care of your husband and so many younger brothers and sisters, especially the two younger ones. You must have a lot to worry about."
"I didn't notice."
With a slight smile on her face, Song Lan said, "My brother-in-law and sister-in-law are both very sensible. The two older ones help with housework a lot, and as for the two younger ones, although they are a bit young, they never cause trouble."
