While eating, Lin Zhizhi felt really embarrassed. Although everyone had a friendly and tolerant smile on their faces, Lin Zhizhi always wanted to lower her head unconsciously. It would be best if no one paid attention to her and she could just eat quietly.
But my aunt and my uncle were so enthusiastic that they kept asking Lin Zhizhi to eat quickly.
Because there were so many people, the adults sat at two separate tables, while the children sat at another table alone.
The table was filled with different dishes. Not only did they smell delicious, instantly making people's appetites rise, but the colors also looked as good as those in restaurants outside.
Most of the dishes were prepared taking into consideration Lin Zhizhi’s pregnancy, and were specially made to be suitable for pregnant women or to be beneficial to pregnant women.
There are yuba, silver teeth and black fungus, crucian carp and tofu soup, cuttlefish fried with broccoli, mushroom and rapeseed, corn and chestnut ribs soup, lettuce fried with shrimp, chestnut chicken, braised wild rice stem, tomato stewed beef brisket, dried clam and pork tripe soup, and clear stewed old hen...
These dishes are not only delicious, but also take into account the prevention of calf cramps in pregnant women, the replenishment of calcium intake, the supplement of vitamins, and the effect of promoting diuresis and reducing swelling, etc.
Grandma loves Lin Zhizhi so much that she now pulls Lin Zhizhi to sit next to her.
Grandma enthusiastically took Lin Zhizhi's bowl, her face full of satisfaction, and quickly served the old hen, "Zhizhi, eat more. This old hen is raised by our family. We don't lock it up or let it run around the back mountain. This is an authentic free-range chicken. Look, its calves are so firm and delicious."
Grandma gave both chicken legs to Lin Zhizhi, motioning her to try them quickly. "This old hen has never been fed any feed. Zhizhi, eat more. This kind of meat, I dare say you can't get it in the city."
Lin Zhizhi saw that both chicken legs were given to her. There were elders older than her and younger than her, so she didn't feel comfortable eating them all. However, she didn't want to refuse her enthusiastic grandmother either.
"Grandma, you eat too. I can't eat so much."
Lin Zhizhi said this and was about to pick up a chicken leg and give it to her grandmother.
Grandma covered her bowl with one hand and held Lin Zhizhi with the other hand, preventing her from taking the food. "No, just eat it yourself."
At this time, the aunt sitting opposite saw that the two were being humble. She also understood grandma's character, so she smiled and said, "Zhizhi, just eat it with peace of mind. This is the old hen raised by this family. We eat it often, and this old hen was specially prepared for you by your grandma.
"Don't be embarrassed, come and eat. The food tonight is delicious. Look, we are just busy eating."
After my aunt finished speaking, she smiled and blinked at Lin Zhizhi, with an expression that said, "I understand, don't be embarrassed."
Lin Zhizhi was puzzled at first when she saw her aunt blinking her eyes like a little child, but after hearing the second half of the sentence, she instantly understood what her aunt meant.
This was to prevent herself from feeling embarrassed about being heard by everyone about Lu Yi kissing her secretly. They all understood and didn't care, and were just busy eating.
This time, the aunt successfully ignited Lin Zhizhi's hot and awkward heart, which had been slowly sinking down. It was like a wooden stick with only a few sparks left, which was suddenly ignited again when a bottle of alcohol was poured on it.
Lin Zhizhi couldn't refuse, so after thanking her grandmother, she buried her head in eating. Only the hand that was leaning against Lu Yi's side secretly reached under the table and pinched Lu Yi's thigh in shame and anger.
Lu Yi couldn't control himself for a moment and his expression twisted, but he immediately controlled himself and didn't say anything.
Lu Yi looked at Lin Zhizhi, his face full of confusion:
What did I do wrong again?
I didn't do anything!
Lin Zhizhi ignored Lu Yi. After twisting her hand, she retracted it casually with a triumphant smile on her face.
After Lin Zhizhi had almost finished biting a chicken leg, she looked up inadvertently, and was met with her aunt's warm and concerned smile, which was full of kindness and tolerance, as if she saw through everything.
Lin Zhizhi, who was caught red-handed, smiled politely to her aunt awkwardly, and then ate her meal quietly and obediently, only responding when the elders called her.
Lin Zhizhi chose to remain silent as to Lu Yi, who knew nothing about it and kept hinting at Lin Zhizhi to respond to him.
