Yu Mingxiang treated her guests with exceptional politeness.
Especially for capable guests.
She pointed to the ingredients on the shelf and said, "Guests are welcome. What would you like to eat? I can make anything I have at home."
Upon hearing this, Old Yuan exclaimed: "!!!"
When have you ever enjoyed such treatment while working with Gu Guanhai?
He glanced at the gentle, smiling Yu Mingxiang, his gaze involuntarily drifting to the shelf where the ingredients were placed, and subconsciously reached out his hand.
"This...this..."
After ordering two dishes, Lao Yuan exclaimed: "!!!"
He quickly pressed his hand down, looking embarrassed, and said, "Well, when in Rome, do as the Romans do. Just do whatever you think is best, I'm fine with anything!"
The sound falls.
Old Yuan fled in panic.
Yu Mingxiang: "??"
Watching his departing figure, she raised an eyebrow noncommittally.
A moment later.
Main room.
Gu Guanhai looked at Old Yuan, who had returned.
His gaze was deep and cold as he said, "You ordered so smoothly, huh? You really think this is your own home?"
Old Yuan: "Hehe."
He chuckled sheepishly, slapped his hand, and mumbled, "Well, you know, I don't have any other hobbies, I just love to eat."
He married his second wife, who came from a family of imperial chefs, simply because he was a glutton.
Now it's all right.
The original intention was to enlighten Yu Mingxiang, but it turned into ordering food.
Old Yuan sighed, "Tomorrow!"
He said, "They treated me with courtesy, and it would be too presumptuous of me, a mere guest, to start pointing fingers at the host."
I'll talk to her about it tomorrow.
Gu Guanhai chuckled upon hearing this.
He sneered and said, "Ordering right away is quite presumptuous! You have no principles at all for a bite to eat. What's the point of having a bald head? Trying to act profound, always like Lu Zhishen!"
Upon hearing this, Old Yuan was so angry he jumped up and down.
"You...I..."
After arguing for a while, he gritted his teeth and said, "Would you die if you didn't insult me for a day?"
"..."
While the two were bickering in the main room, Yu Mingxiang and her daughter were talking and cooking in the kitchen.
Cooking a couple more dishes is no big deal.
Following the proper way of hospitality, Yu Mingxiang did indeed cook the two dishes that Lao Yuan ordered.
Not only did she cook the dishes Lao Yuan ordered, but thinking of Gu Guanhai's injury, Yu Mingxiang also prepared a light meal specifically for him as a sick person.
Daylily: ...
Looking at the lightly salted rice and dishes his mother had prepared in advance, he frowned and asked, "Mom, did you make this for Uncle Gu?"
Yu Mingxiang: "Mm."
“When he was injured before, it happened to be during your sister-in-law’s postpartum period, and he ate the postpartum meals that were available. This time it’s different. This time, no one in our family is in postpartum confinement, so we can only make something special for him.”
Upon hearing this, Xuan Cao frowned. "Mom, do you... also like Uncle Gu?"
Upon hearing this, Yu Mingxiang froze in her act of serving rice.
Do you like it?
She wasn't sure either.
"It doesn't matter whether I like it or not."
As she continued serving rice, she said, "He has been very kind to our family, so we can't neglect him out of courtesy or reason."
Daylily: "Is it really just about not being negligent?"
She tilted her head and looked her mother up and down, saying, "Mom, you know perfectly well what he thinks of you, yet you still keep him at home. Is it really just to keep him from neglecting you?"
Upon hearing this, Yu Mingxiang was speechless.
Thinking of Gu Guanhai's public confession during the day, she pursed her lips and remained silent.
Daylily sees this: ...
They tacitly stopped talking.
She knew it; no one could resist Uncle Gu's face!
Her mother really does like Uncle Gu.
