After the food was served, Old Mrs. Sun invited everyone to eat. The family then raised their glasses and the table was filled with laughter.
Luo Wenyuan looked at the lively family and thought of the emptiness in his heart that hadn't made him feel uncomfortable for a long time. When did it start? It seemed... Haha, it was when he met Qingshan!
Qingshan picked up a piece of lettuce with chopsticks and put it into Luo Wenyuan's bowl: "Focus on eating, why are you grinning like an idiot!"
In the past, the sight of anything green would have given Luo, a carnivore, a headache, but now he's become addicted to space vegetables, and his interest in chicken, duck, and fish has waned considerably. Luo Wenyuan picked up some lettuce and put it in his mouth, his left hand stirring under the table again.
Li Guodong took a bite of the fried dried shrimp and rapeseed and nodded continuously: "Xiaoshan, did you cook all the dishes today?"
Qingshan gnawed on the crab legs and nodded to his uncle-in-law.
"Incredible, incredible! Your cooking skills are even better than the chef specially hired by our restaurant!"
Old Mrs. Sun smiled so hard that her crow's feet opened up. "That's right! We often let Xiaoshan cook for us, and we've become picky. Everything we eat tastes just average!"
Cao Xia picked up a piece of stir-fried shredded vegetables with chopsticks and placed it on Zhang Lei's plate. She smiled and said to Zhang Meiling and Chen Jianguo, "Sister and brother-in-law, your Xiaoshan is truly a rare talent. He's beautiful, does well in school, and is proficient in all kinds of housework. I'm not trying to flatter my own child, but I really can't find any flaws in Xiaoshan! If Leilei can be half as good as Xiaoshan in the future, I'll be thankful!"
Zhang Yongnian and Zhang Limei both nodded in agreement. Qingshan was much older than her two younger brothers. With such a perfect sister as a role model, the two children would follow her example and would not grow up in the wrong direction.
Chen Jianguo took a sip of wine, ate a bite of food, and felt very happy when he saw his family having fun together.
Old Madam Sun picked out the fattest and largest flying crab and handed it to Luo Wenyuan: "Come, Xiao Luo, eat crab! Our coastal city has nothing else but abundant seafood. Although we eat farmed crabs this season, they are also big and meaty. Try them!"
Luo Wenyuan quickly stood up, took the big flying crab from the old lady, and slowly peeled the meat and ate it.
Zhang Limei asked Luo Wenyuan with a smile: "Xiao Luo, how old are you this year? What do you do for a living?"
"Twenty-five, active military!"
Zhang Limei's eyes suddenly lit up, and she tutted her tongue: "Wow! I thought you were an actor! Are all the guys in your army like you? Are there any guys looking for a partner? My aunt has several unmarried friends, all of them are outstanding in appearance and character, how about..."
Before Zhang Limei could finish her words, Li Guodong stuffed a chicken wing into her mouth, silencing her. "Honey, stop it! When did you start a side job as a matchmaker? None of your friends are under 30 years old. Xiao Luo's comrades are all around his age. Although they say a woman three years older than a man is a treasure, but carrying too much treasure can be tiring!"
Zhang Limei took out the chicken wings, rolled her eyes, and argued, "Sister-brother relationships are not allowed. You are one year younger than me, and I don't dislike you!"
Li Guodong quickly lowered himself and begged for mercy: "Yes, yes, it is true that I am out of my league. My dear wife, please calm down!"
The whole family laughed. Zhang Limei also smiled and gave Li Guodong a naughty look, then lowered her head to eat. She felt that the idea of introducing a partner was not very reliable after Li Guodong interrupted her. If she really wanted to introduce him to Comrade Xiao Luo, since one was in the capital and the other in Lian City, it would be obviously nonsense. So the matter was over after a few words.
Old Lady Sun happened to be sitting across from Qingshan and Luo Wenyuan. The more she looked at them, the more she felt they were a good match. "Xiao Luo, who else is in your family?"
Zhang Meiling knew that Luo Wenyuan's parents had both passed away. She was afraid that her relatives would ask too many questions and bring up the child's sad memories, so she quickly answered, "Xiao Luo lives with his grandfather." After saying that, she secretly gave her mother a wink, asking her not to ask too many questions.
