"Yes, yes, come again tomorrow."
The two sisters-in-law didn't speak, and Jian Dan didn't try to say anything either. She was a new bride, and it was normal for her not to talk to strangers.
The atmosphere here fell silent for a moment, but the children were quite lively, making bursts of noise in waves.
"Wow! Dude, it's a car!"
"Let me see, let me see, is it a real car? Can it run?"
"Hey, it ran away, it ran away! This was so much fun!"
"Can I play with it for a bit?"
The old lady sighed, glanced at Jian Dan and Qin Qinghuai, realizing she couldn't just kick them out, so she decided to let them eat. Her son and daughter-in-law must be hungry.
"Alright, let's eat first."
After saying that, he got up first.
"Third brother, take your wife, Xiao Dan, and try Aunt Xu's cooking. If you don't like it, just tell her. She can cook a lot. Just ask her to make whatever you want to eat. Don't be shy."
He simply stepped forward and followed the old lady.
"Don't worry, I won't be polite."
Their return was sudden, and the dishes at home were only enough for the elderly couple. The reason why Aunt Xu was able to prepare a table full of food so quickly was because the children from both families had been coming back for meals frequently these past few days, so she had prepared a little extra.
There aren't many vegetables available to eat in spring. On the table, there was only one dish of stir-fried bean sprouts with shredded pork and one dish of stir-fried eggs, which could be considered meat dishes. The rest were all vegetarian dishes, such as potatoes, radishes, tofu, vermicelli, cabbage, and a plate of cleaned wild vegetables.
The two sisters-in-law's eyes lit up when they saw the dishes on the table. Even though they had a salary, they only had one or two dishes per meal. They hadn't seen such a sumptuous meal in a long time.
The meat slices were plentiful, and the scrambled eggs looked very appetizing.
Each child watched as their own child sat down, waiting for the old man to speak before placing food directly into the child's bowl.
The old lady wasn't in high spirits, and the old man looked around but didn't say anything.
"Alright, let's eat. We can talk about it after we finish eating."
Jian Dan didn't even see what was on the table. As soon as she started eating, her bowl was never empty, and all the dishes on the table were ones she could accept. She breathed a slight sigh of relief, and under the table, she secretly squeezed the person next to her.
"Eat slowly, give me what you can't finish."
Having lived together for so long, Qin Qinghuai knew Jian Dan quite well. The dishes on the table weren't her favorites, so she wouldn't be able to eat her fill. He didn't want her to force herself, so he leaned closer and whispered his advice.
"If you can't eat, just eat a few bites. I'll cook you noodles later."
Taking a simple bite of the tofu, I realized that Aunt Xu's cooking skills were quite good; although there weren't many ingredients, the taste was still quite nice.
"It's delicious. Aunt Xu's cooking is excellent. Try this tofu, and this radish is also very flavorful."
"real?"
Qin Qinghuai didn't want to wrong her.
Don't force yourself.
