Chapter 325: The Jian Family Reunion Dinner
"Of course!" An Songyu nodded as a matter of course.
"Thank you! Happy holidays, we will definitely enjoy the food!" While expressing his gratitude, Wang Henian took two steps back to make room for the car and then waved to the two of them.
An Songyu and the other person also waved, then got in the car and left.
When An Songyu and Jian's family arrived, not only had everyone else in the family arrived, but lunch was almost ready.
An Songyu felt particularly embarrassed.
Sister Jian said, "Ayu, we are the ones who are embarrassed!"
"If we had asked Ayu more, we wouldn't have scheduled the reunion dinner for noon today."
"Yes, yes!" Mother Jian beside her also nodded: "I heard from Ayu that not only did you not get to eat the Dragon Boat Festival, but even your parents only said hello?"
An Songyu looked at Jian Ziyu beside him.
It was clear that the two of them had never been apart all the way, so how long had he told his family about these things?
But now was not the right time to ask, so An Songyu smiled and said to the Jian family:
"That's fine. Our family won't fight for the custody of the dragon head, dragon tail, boat drum, and wooden oar. It doesn't matter whether we go or not!"
Mother Jane listened to An Songyu's sensible words.
I couldn't help but sit next to her, took her hand and patted it gently.
"I'm sorry, Yu. I only learned today the significance of the dragon boat meal after your dragon boat race."
As she said this, she couldn't help but look at her son reproachfully.
After Jian Ziyu entered the room, he didn't even have the chance to sit down.
Now that he was being glared at by his own mother, he felt even more helpless.
If he had known this earlier, he would not have gone to An Songxiang to inquire about the dragon boat race in Jiangcun.
He specifically informed them of the news, but in the end it was him who was wrong.
"Then... Ayu, this time next year, it will be convenient for us to go watch the dragon boat race together, right?" Sister Jian also held An Songyu's hand and asked with a smile.
"Of course!" An Songyu nodded affirmatively.
She knew that the Jian family didn't want her to miss the dragon boat race in Jiangcun next year.
Originally, their family scheduled the Mid-Autumn Festival reunion dinner at noon, also taking into account that Brother Jane and Sister Jane each have a family.
At night, they also had to go to Sister Jane's parents' home and reunite with Sister Jane's in-laws' home respectively.
But today is not just the first dragon boat race since the people of Jiangcun moved out of the village.
It was also the opportunity for An Songlin to board a dragon boat.
So Jian Ziyu didn't stay at home and wait for her brothers and sisters to come back.
However, due to insufficient knowledge about dragon boat racing, not many people are able to participate.
This not only made Jian Ziyu feel quite regretful, but also made everyone in the Jian family who received the news feel that they were not respectful enough to the An family.
At the dinner table, An Songyu clearly felt the Jian family's apology and enthusiasm.
The delicious food in her bowl never decreased from beginning to end.
She didn't even have the chance to pick up the food with her chopsticks.
As I watched, Aunt Jian next to me brought over another bowl of turtle soup.
An Songyu quickly looked at Jian Ziyu for help.
Jian Ziyu knew his girlfriend's appetite, so he took the turtle soup first and then said with a smile:
"Auntie, you should eat quickly too!"
"Ayu has almost finished eating, you really don't need to take care of her anymore."
It's not that he didn't refuse just now.
But Jian Ziyu knew that even if he refused just now, it would be of no use.
After saying this, he placed the turtle soup next to An Songyu.
He took his own bowl and shared some of the food in An Songyu's bowl.
When the other members of the Jian family saw this situation, they no longer enthusiastically picked up food for An Songyu.
An Songyu breathed a sigh of relief.
She simply put the bowl aside and brought the turtle soup that Aunt Jane had just served her.
The soup clearly contained specially selected soft-shelled turtle meat.
An Songyu picked up a piece of it, which was the turtle meat with the hem.
There is not much meat in this area, but it is soft and sticky and tastes especially delicious.
Thinking that all the meat in the small bowl was almost the same, An Songyu couldn't help but look at Aunt Jian.
Coincidentally, Aunt Jane was looking at her with a smile on her face.
An Songyu quickly picked up the meat in the bowl and started eating it seriously.
After lunch, the whole family sat together.
Sister Jian specially brought a plate of freshly washed Sanhua plums: "Ayu, have some of this!"
As she spoke, she even picked out a ripe one and handed it over.
An Songyu looked at Jian Ziyu with some embarrassment.
Jian Ziyu next to him really took it with a smile.
But he said helplessly: "Sister, please don't pass us food anymore. Half of the delicious food at noon today went into our stomachs."
"Now! My stomach is so full that it's almost bursting."
"How is that possible?" Sister Jane didn't quite believe it.
She also ate a lot at noon today.
They would learn their aunt's craftsmanship even during every Chinese New Year and other festivals.
But I never learned a single bit.
So every time they come back, they can't help but eat too much.
"How is it impossible?" Jian Ziyu was speechless.
Since the meal started, there has never been less food in An Songyu's bowl.
She also loves to eat delicious food. She always tastes each dish first and then chooses her favorite.
That extra love no longer needs to become his.
Thinking of this, Jian Ziyu couldn't help but look at the other people in the family.
His mother, aunt and sister all did the same thing when it came to picking up food.
Sister Jane touched her stomach which was so full that she couldn't eat anything.
He said with a guilty conscience: "Isn't it because you and Ayu have been working hard recently?"
As she spoke, she looked at Aunt Jane for approval.
"That's true. Ayu and Ayu have been very busy lately and haven't had much time to come over!" Aunt Jian immediately nodded in agreement.
Now, An Songyu and the others were speechless.
Fortunately, Sister Jane and her husband also understood the principle of knowing when to quit while you are ahead.
Soon, their topic turned to the fruits they brought.
"Last night, my husband and I went back to the village with my parents-in-law."
"We picked these fruits from the garden this morning and brought them back."
"And the cantaloupe over there, too."
"Ayu, brother, and aunt, remember to take some back when you go home." Sister Jane pointed to a place not far from the door.
There was a whole little pile of stuff there.
"Sister, brother-in-law, why did you bring so many things back again?" Jian Ziyu walked over and opened a few bags at random, then couldn't help but shook his head.
An Songyu looked curious and followed.
All I saw were sacks filled with fruits and vegetables.
The couple brought all the stuff themselves.
Just thinking about it, An Songyu couldn't help but admire the two of them.
"They are all from the villagers!" Brother-in-law Jian scratched the back of his head embarrassedly.
"That doesn't need to be so much!" Brother Jian went to see it and was also impressed.
Ever since my sister and her husband got married.
Every time they come back, they bring with them large and small bags.
But they have to change buses several times before they can get there!
It’s not that the distance is too far, but there is simply no direct bus.
