When Gu Lingguo and the other two arrived, Gu Lingguo and Fang Guozhong sat down two people at the bottom and right of Yan Rushan respectively, while Wang Daya sat down at the bottom and right of Bai Lian.
"Let's eat." Old Master Yan said. He picked up the dishes first, and then everyone started to eat.
Feng Jianhong looked at the table full of delicious dishes, which they might not be able to eat even during Chinese New Year. Many of the foods had never been seen before; the steamed fish looked different from what they had eaten before, the bacon was more beautiful and brighter in color than the bacon made at home in the countryside, and the stewed chicken soup with wolfberries and red dates was not very greasy and the soup looked very clear.
There was also something stir-fried with chili peppers that looked like duck or rabbit, black and red spareribs, and a plate of stir-fried shredded pork whose original ingredients were unrecognizable, something that looked like shells; the other vegetarian dishes were bright green and juicy, and they looked very good and made people hungry.
"Don't be shy, dear in-laws. The sweet and sour spareribs over there are delicious, and the shredded pork with fish sauce goes really well with rice. The clams are even more delicious, and the chicken soup with goji berries and red dates is nourishing and replenishing. You can eat more. In front of you is diced chicken thighs stir-fried with chili peppers, and the fish is salmon that Dashan bought from outside. Yuxiu loves it." Old Master Yan introduced them one by one. "The food is simple, not much to eat, so don't mind, dear in-laws."
Feng Jianhong was shocked. "Grandpa, you can't say that. We can't even eat such good food during the New Year in the countryside. These dishes are really good, and we haven't even tasted them yet."
"The food is a little short. You'll need to stay in Beijing for a few days. Then ask your aunt to make more." Before he finished speaking, he glanced at his eldest grandson, who nodded. "I understand, Grandpa. I'll have someone send over some lobsters, crabs, and other seafood. I'll also have someone buy some good food and make more for tomorrow."
As Feng Jianhong, Zhong Jiaquan, and Bai Lian stared in amazement, Old Master Yan laughed heartily and called for everyone to eat, "That's how it should be, eat your food."
Zhong Jing had no idea how to enjoy the food he was eating. The Yan family was so well-off, and it was a pleasure for his daughter to marry into such a family. Now they seemed to be treating her well, so her life would naturally be good. However, if something unexpected happened in the future, they would be of no help at all.
Feng Jianhong picked up a dish called "Fish-flavored Shredded Pork" with her chopsticks. It was called "Fish-flavored Shredded Pork", but there was no fish in it at all; it tasted sour and sweet, but it was just stir-fried shredded pork! It was really delicious with rice.
Bai Lian only picked up the meat dishes with her chopsticks, quickly, fiercely and accurately, and her mouth was full of oil.
Zhong Jiaquan managed to hold it together, eating slowly and at a leisurely pace even with his mouth watering; in order to prevent his sister from being embarrassed in the Yan family, he would kick his wife from time to time to make her restrain herself, which was really embarrassing.
After the meal, Bai Lian was very satisfied, but Feng Jianhong didn't eat much. Zhong Jiaquan didn't eat much because of his wife's embarrassing behavior. Zhong Jing took a few bites and put down his chopsticks.
They didn't eat the food on the table. Zhong Yuxiu had a good appetite. She would pick up some food with her chopsticks from time to time, and Yan Rushan would help her serve the food. She ate quite a bit, and finally put down her chopsticks under the surprised gaze of Feng Jianhong and Zhong Jing.
Their daughter is such a big eater.
Gu Lingguo and Fang Guozhong were already familiar with the Zhong family, so they wouldn't be the same as when they first arrived. Seeing that they didn't want to eat anymore, they went to the kitchen with big bowls to get some rice, mixed it with the meat and vegetable soup and ate two more bowls, not even leaving out the soup, just like what Haonan and Tian Shangguo had.
In the end, only a few remaining soup residues remained on the plate.
Zhong Jing and Feng Jianhong exchanged a glance, neither saying a word. Bai Lian, not one to keep her mouth shut, looked incredulous, "Oh my God, you guys are such big eaters! There's not a single drop left on such a large table! I even told you guys I could take it all away."
“Pah.”
Zhong Jiaquan slapped her on the back, "What are you talking about? It's not like we're eating out. You want to take it away?"
"Isn't this at my sister's house?" After mumbling, Bai Lian said uncomfortably: "My sister's family is so well-off, they won't mind."
"What does your relationship to my sister have to do with her?" Zhong Jiaquan was so embarrassed that he dragged her out the door. "You are just a non-blood-related sister-in-law. No matter how well-off my sister's family is, it has nothing to do with you."
Bai Lian struggled to stay a little longer.
Zhong Jing and Feng Jianhong were both embarrassed by Bai Lian's humiliation. "Grandpa, thank you for your hospitality. We'll be leaving now. We still need to find a hotel. Sorry to bother you today."
"No, I'll let Dashan drive you to find a hotel. There is a hotel near the compound. It will be convenient for you to stay nearby." The old man winked at his eldest grandson.
Yan Rushan said, "Aunt Gong hasn't come back yet. She went to buy clothes."
"Really?" Old Master Yan smiled, his face kind, but his eyes concealed displeasure. "Then my dear relatives, why don't you wait a little longer until the person comes back before you leave? Sit down and have a cup of tea, and we'll talk."
Feng Jianhong shook her head repeatedly, "We don't need new clothes..."
"I've already bought it, and I bought it in your size so it will fit you. We can't return it if we take it back." After all, the old man has seen a lot and can handle it. He doesn't like the behavior of the Zhong family's daughter-in-law, but he has no opinion on the Zhong family's parents.
Feng Jianhong was hesitant and indecisive.
Zhong Jing said: "Then wait a while, we've already eaten, so it doesn't matter if we wait a little longer."
"Oh well."
The two returned to the hall. Zhong Jing sat opposite the old man, holding his back straight for fear of losing his daughter again; Feng Jianhong sat opposite Yuxiu and looked at her nervously.
Yuxiu said calmly, "How can you leave right after eating? Let's rest for a while before leaving."
"Okay." Feng Jianhong smiled.
Bai Lian was arguing with Zhong Jiaquan outside the door, but Zhong Jiaquan refused to let her in again. Her younger sister had not grown up with them, and although she had not suffered much living with the Wan family, everything she had now was earned by her, and it was not a pie in the sky.
My sister is pretty, but not so pretty that the Yan family must marry her.
My sister is pregnant and living well in the Yan family, but who knows what her life will be like after she gives birth?
The Zhong family is all worried about Zhong Yuxiu. The Zhong family is not as well-off as the Yan family. If that time really comes, they, the Zhong family, will be unable to help at all. In this case, they should not think about taking advantage of her now, especially since her personality is like that of the wife. She should be prevented from having any contact with her sister.
"Don't come here again in the future. I know you came here once and then divorced me." He could get rid of all the troubles forever. He could marry again if he lost his wife, but he only had one sister.
Zhong Jiaquan appears to be naive on the outside, but he knows what's going on inside.
Gong Zhaodi came back at this time and asked curiously, "Mr. Zhong, why are you outside?"
"It's okay, let's get some fresh air here." Zhong Jiaquan restrained his breath, smiled foolishly and turned back.
"Then you guys continue to enjoy the breeze. I'll go in first." Gong Zhaodi entered the hall carrying a lot of bags. Seeing that Old Man Yan was there, she greeted him woodenly, "Hello, Old Man Yan, Comrade Yan, Comrade Zhong, I've bought clothes. From coats and inner clothes to shoes and socks."
