Mo Qinghe pulled his wife over, "Never mind those unimportant people, let's sit over there!"
Zhou Yuzhu also said, "Third cousin-in-law, let's sit down and chat!"
Su Nanxi nodded and sat down next to Old Lady Mo.
Just as we were about to continue our conversation, Zhou Yuzhu was called away. Yes! Called to do some work!
With so much work to do, how can I just sit around doing nothing!
Can't you see how busy the elders are? How can a junior like me sit so comfortably!
Zhou Yuzhu had no choice but to get up and go over to help!
Su Nanxi was very puzzled. Why was there so much work to do?
What kind of work is this?
The Mo family brought a lot of cooked and cold dishes, fruits, vegetables, biscuits, and pastries. They even brought a lot of cooked vegetables, and, well, they picked a huge bunch of sweet potato leaves!
There are also bean sprouts that Zhou Yuzhu grew herself, which don't need to be washed much!
Logically speaking, cooking a meal is a very easy thing; it just requires boiling a few pots!
How come so many people are still making it all, and they're making it look like they're throwing a huge banquet?
Ugh! I really don't understand how inefficient these people are!
Wasn't the firewood already prepared? Wasn't the table already brought over? Weren't bowls, chopsticks, basins, and plates all provided?
Is there anything else to do?
It's just stir-frying a dish, it doesn't require any elaborate cooking, yet it looks like a professional chef is cooking!
If the Zhao and Qin families were to take action, they wouldn't need so many people at all!
Having so many people together is simply a hindrance!
They seem very busy, and everyone seems to be working hard, but whether they are actually doing well or not is anyone's guess!
Su Nanxi was too lazy to bother with it. Perhaps this was just the Zhou family's unique way of doing things, and she shouldn't judge them with prejudice!
"Wife, the fruit is very sweet, come on, have one! This is the fruit I carefully nurtured!"
Mo Qinghe stuffed a glutinous rice ball into Su Nanxi's mouth.
Su Nanxi was caught off guard. When she realized what was happening, she quickly grabbed it with her hand. This guy was really something, he didn't even say hello before shoving it at her!
Mo Qinghe smiled at her, a smile that was malicious. His wife was always thinking about other people's business; she should be punished!
Everyone has their own destiny; you'd be better off spending more time thinking about your own life!
Su Nanxi: Why should I overthink things?
Mo Qinghe: This is a matter concerning our Mo family!
Su Nanxi: Oh! That's right! We should expand our business to the town!
Mo Qinghe: That's right! Let other people worry about their own business!
Su Nanxi smiled knowingly, took a bite of a happy fruit, picked up another one, swallowed it, and stuffed another one into her mouth!
Mmm! So sweet!
This fruit should do well in the market!
It's exclusively for the upper class, so its price must be quite high!
Yes! That's a really good way to make money!
Grandma Mo and Grandpa Zhou also thought the Joyful Fruit was delicious, with an auspicious name, a beautiful appearance, and a pretty good taste!
But they only thought it tasted good and didn't realize that soon this fruit would be something that ordinary people couldn't afford!
When they found out, they were shocked to discover that they had eaten fruit that others couldn't afford!
Isn't this a kind of honor?
But I digress. Let's get back to the present.
Finally, it's time to eat!
We set up three tables, it's a bit crowded, but we'll make do with what we have!
Children can get their food and eat it on the side, or even sit and eat under the eaves!
The Mo family children were reluctant to sit down because they had all worn very new clothes today. The ground was muddy, and if they sat down, there would definitely be a bottom mark that they couldn't wipe off!
They couldn't bear to get their new clothes dirty, so they all stood aside and ate from their bowls!
The Zhou family children don't care about being dirty. Their clothes are all tattered and old, and they don't mind if they get dirty. Besides, they're used to it, and they sit wherever they want!
There are stools and chairs everywhere, so why would you need special stools and chairs?
Now that we have so much meat to eat, isn't it comfortable to sit down and tear it apart with your hands to eat it?
The Mo family kids are really something, they don't even know how to eat better!
Look how comfortable and relaxed they are, putting their bowls on their laps and eating with both hands!
Eating while standing is no fun at all!
None of the Mo family children sat down; they all ate standing up. Yes, eating standing up helps them grow taller!
After a few words of blessing, everyone started eating. The Mo family ate very calmly, enjoying the ordinary dishes.
The situation at the Zhou family's place was far from peaceful. It was a whirlwind of activity, with no sound of conversation heard throughout, only the clattering of bowls, chopsticks, and plates!
Moreover, this sound was not soft!
Su Nanxi glanced at it and was so startled that the food she was holding fell onto the plate!
What's going on here?
It's just a meal, isn't it?
Is it really necessary?
Look at that posture, is it the Legend of the Hungry Wolf?
How long must they have been starving to eat like this!
She admitted that the dishes were quite delicious, since they were basically all started by the Mo family, so there was no reason for them not to be good! If they weren't good, it must be because the person in charge of cooking was terrible!
But there's no need to eat like this!
It's not much different from competing with a beggar for food!
While eating what's in the bowl, they're eyeing what's in the pot, and even reaching into the basin!
And what about the food you put in your mouth? Don't you even chew it? You just swallow it whole?
This is truly eye-opening!
Nobody's going to take it from them!
Looks like it's been too long since I've had meat or anything good to eat. It's a rare treat, so I have to eat my fill!
After this meal, I wonder when I'll be able to have such a feast again!
Image doesn't matter, I don't care!
If you want to look good, the fat will disappear in no time!
"Honey, eat up! It doesn't taste as good as what we make, but it'll fill you up! Have some, we still have a long way to go back!"
Mo Qinghe picked up a few dishes and served them to Su Nanxi. It wasn't that he hadn't seen what was happening over there, he just didn't want to get involved.
He had seen it before, so he wasn't too surprised!
Su Nanxi snapped out of her daze and noticed that her bowl was now filled with more food. She turned to look at Mo Qinghe beside her and said, "Okay! Let's eat ours!"
Mo Qinghe wasn't the only one who felt this way; the rest of the Mo family also felt that the dishes were always a little lacking in flavor!
But since they were at someone else's house, they had to follow the host's lead and eat whatever the host made, so they couldn't be too picky!
It's only going to be eaten here once anyway, so let's just make do!
They'll cook something delicious when we get back, and we'll have a proper meal!
The Mo family ate leisurely, while the Zhou family quickly finished their meal, each person eating until their bellies were bulging, burping, wiping their mouths, and picking their teeth.
"Mmm! It's delicious!"
"Hiccup! Yes! This is the first time in my life I've ever eaten something so delicious! I wish I could eat it every day!"
"You're dreaming! Do you even have the money to buy it? And you want to eat it every day! If you had half of Yuzhu's good luck, you might actually be able to realize your dream!"
"Yu Zhu was taught by someone else, do you think she had this ability on her own? If I had this way of making money, I could eat meat every day!"
Su Nanxi was enjoying her meal when suddenly the conversation turned to her.
"Hey, you're the mute girl, right? Can you come up with a way to make money for us too?"
