Yan Xiuer looked disdainful. "What do you mean by Chinese food here? It's just a mixed meal made to cater to American tastes. It's not authentic at all."
Ye Ran smiled and said, "That's just how people here are. They like high-calorie foods, which is why they eat a lot of oil and sugar, just like the cakes here, which are so sweet that I can't even eat them."
Speaking of this, Yan Xiuer wholeheartedly agreed, "I wanted to say the same thing. I usually like sweets, but all the cakes here are too cloying for me!"
"It would be great if an authentic Chinese restaurant could open a chain here, like a hot pot restaurant."
Speaking of this, Ye Ran actually remembered that in her past life there was a Chinese restaurant called South Beauty that had branches all over the world...
As we were talking, the waiter brought out the dishes. The first dish was some kind of stir-fried meat.
Ye Ran took a bite and immediately frowned. "What is this? It's sticky and gooey, so strange..."
Lu Yi glanced at it and said, "This is a cactus. Mexicans like to eat cactus. This is stir-fried meat with peeled cactus."
Upon hearing this, Yan Xiu'er lost all interest in eating. "Aren't cacti covered in thorns? How could anyone want to eat something like that? It's strange. I'd better not eat it."
At this point, Lu Yi seemed to remember something and grinned mischievously, "But I only ordered it because I heard that cactus flesh can reduce internal heat."
Upon hearing this, Yan Xiu'er was taken aback. "Really? Then I'll have some."
Lu Yi chuckled, "That's really true, but Mom, you seem to be paying a lot of attention to health and cooling down lately!"
Yan Xiu'er glared at him, "What do you know?! After a certain age, you have to take care of your health! Otherwise, you'll just end up looking like an old tree bark!"
Ye Ran laughed, "Mom, what's so old about you!"
Yan Xiu'er sighed, "I'm not young anymore! Besides, I have to take good care of myself! What if I make myself ugly here and your dad doesn't want me anymore when I go back?"
Hearing this, they both laughed. "That's something that will never happen. Dad will only love you more!"
Speaking of this, Yan Xiuer smiled first, then sighed, "We've been away for so long. Your father is alone in the country, and because of his special status, he can't just call here. He must miss us a lot."
Upon hearing this, Lu Yi and Ye Ran fell silent. They exchanged a glance, both feeling somewhat guilty. Their parents had never been separated in their entire lives, but this time, for their sake, their mother had traveled all the way to the United States with them.
Regardless of what Yan Xiuer thinks of Lu Ting, Lu Ting himself must have been fed up with it long ago.
Because Yan Xiu'er has them with her and two grandsons to take care of, but Lu Ting only has Lu Tian facing him. You can imagine how lonely he must be.
Ye Ran looked at Yan Xiu'er apologetically and said, "I'm sorry, Mom, we've been delayed for so long in the United States this time."
Yan Xiu'er looked at her disapprovingly, "I've already told you not to say that! It's a normal choice for you young people to want to develop your own careers. Coming here was just my own choice!"
Lu Yi said confidently, "Don't worry, Ranran and I are almost done with our business here. Once we're done, we'll head back to China immediately!"
Hearing this, Yan Xiu'er smiled and said, "Okay, no rush. Let's finish everything before we leave."
Lu Yi smiled and nodded in agreement, then looked at the newly served dishes and began to serve food to Yan Xiuer and Ye Ran...
