After exchanging pleasantries for a while, it was almost lunchtime, and Ning's mother asked Ning Yu, "What would you like to eat for lunch?"
Ning Yu: "Spicy chicken."
Ning's mother frowned, "You can't eat spicy food again. Don't you remember how your stomach hurt from eating chili peppers when you were little? I'll make you some chicken stew with mushrooms later. Your dad just picked the mushrooms this morning, they're very fresh! And I'll make you another..."
Shi Xu, who was standing nearby, listened to the conversation between the two and roughly understood Ning Yu's situation.
Ning Yu had absolutely no chance to get a word in edgewise!
"Let's make another braised goose in an iron pot," Ning Yu finally interjected.
“Okay! Perfect timing—” Ning’s mother was about to continue when Ning’s father came back from outside and told her to hurry up and cook.
Ning's mother: ...
After preparing lunch, Ning's father thought that since guests were coming to the house, it shouldn't be too shabby, so he took out a bottle of wine.
But he doesn't have any good wine here, and he's afraid Shi Xu won't like it.
Then they took out the wine that Shi Xu had brought.
"Come on, everyone, have a drink." After much effort and searching in the kitchen, Ning's father finally managed to open the cork on the wine bottle and poured wine for everyone.
Shi Xu looked at the bottle with some surprise, "What is this wine?"
Mr. Ning said embarrassedly, "It's the wine you brought. We don't drink red wine much, haha."
Timeline: Wasn't this supposed to be Moutai? Why is his father's treasured wine here?
Ning Yu: Isn't it Moutai that was delivered?
The two exchanged a glance.
Ning Yu looked at the stewed goose in the large bowl in the center of the table and asked, "Where did this goose come from?"
“He was taken from your aunt’s house,” Ning’s mother said. “He was just killed.”
Ning Yu: Didn't they bring a big goose with them?
Timing: It doesn't seem quite right.
"This wine is just so-so," Ning's father commented after taking a sip. "It's a bit astringent."
Ning Yu remained silent.
This is a bottle of red wine that Shi's father treasured, which Shi's mother secretly took out to give to the Hua family.
what to do?
Even someone as clever as Shi Xuningyu couldn't come up with a solution.
Ning's father took a couple of sips, but still wasn't used to it, so he simply put the red wine aside and said, "I'll open a bottle of white wine to keep you company."
Timeline: And it was still disliked.
Ning Yu kicked the clock and asked him with her eyes: What about over there?
After a moment of silence, Shi Xu raised his glass and said, "Uncle, I'd like to toast you."
Once you're drunk, it'll all be over.
Ning Yu: ?!

On the other side.
Although Shi Xi and Xie Yunzhou flew there, the flight time was short.
As soon as the two got off the plane, members of the Hua family came to pick them up at the airport and took them to the Hua family manor.
Shi Xi's mind wandered throughout the journey, and she was absent-minded.
Hua Family Manor.
Upon receiving the message, Hua Xuanhe went to the lobby to meet Shi Xi.
Hua Hengzhe followed behind him, excitedly asking, "Is Shi Xi really coming? Really? Really?!"
"We'll find out soon enough." Hua Xuan wasn't sure either. "You should say as little as possible later."
"Oh." Hua Hengzhe began to speak sparingly.
Hua Xuanhe: We still haven't played enough.
The car stopped, and Shi Xi got out. Seeing the two brothers, she felt nothing.
Until the butler opened the trunk.
A large goose flew out from inside.
Everyone: ? ? ?
"Holy crap, what's this?" Hua Hengzhe jumped back a step, shocked. "Shi Xi, what did you bring?"
"Huh?" Before Shi Xi's scattered thoughts could return, Xie Yunzhou protected her.
The goose, which had been suppressed for a long time, could not fly at all. It just flapped its wings a few times and ran around on the ground.
Xie Yunzhou released Shi Xi, "It's a goose."
"A goose? How did it get in the trunk?" Shi Xi poked her head out, realizing something. "Could we have brought the wrong one?"
