Li Xueyan didn't look at them, but looked at Ning Zhihuan and Xiao Yuchi. She wiped her hands with her apron, then took Ning Zhihuan and called Xiao Yuchi to move forward.
As she walked, she said, "Today, Auntie made you your favorite egg custard and brown sugar dumplings."
Ning Zhihuan nodded, feeling a little complicated.
These things might not have been a big deal in her time, as everyone could afford them.
But nowadays, brown sugar and eggs are only served on the table during the Chinese New Year.
Take the eggs for example. The hen she raised might be too old to lay eggs as often, and the pheasant she caught was a male and couldn't lay eggs.
Ning Zhihuan felt a little guilty because he brought Xiao Yuchi back out of momentary pity and increased the burden on his family.
Li Xueyan didn't know what she was thinking, so she pulled her towards the main room.
The main room is the room facing the door. There is a square table in it and a long bench that is a bit moldy, but it is clean.
When Xiao Yuchi was at the door, a musty smell came into his nostrils, but he stepped in without hesitation.
Several people stood aside and did not sit down because Old Mrs. Ning had not arrived yet.
Although the family is harmonious and does not favor boys over girls, there are still some rules to follow. If Grandma Ning does not take a seat, the younger generation will not sit down either.
If Old Mrs. Ning doesn't pick up her chopsticks, no one else will either.
"Here we go! Our favorite egg custard is here."
Old Mrs. Ning brought the last dish to the table and asked everyone to sit down.
Old Mrs. Ning sat in the seat of honor, which was the one facing the door.
On the left are Ning Zhihuan and Xiao Yuchi, on the right is Li Xueyan, and Ning Hong who arrived late. Facing Old Lady Ning are the lively couple Ning Zhigan and Ning Zhikun.
As for Ning Qingjian and Ning Qingzhong, they went out to do odd jobs to supplement their family income and have not returned home yet.
The twins were very noisy and were very satisfied with today's food. It was like celebrating the New Year in advance.
However, as soon as he extended the spoon to the braised pork, Li Xueyan glared at him fiercely.
Ning Zhigan could only withdraw his hand with a smile.
Old Lady Ning looked at it and said, "Xueyan, the child can eat whatever she wants. It's not a big deal."
Although she doted on Ning Zhihuan and was sometimes a little mean to Ning Zhigan's grandsons, she also wanted them to grow up to be upright men in the future.
But this doesn't mean that she doesn't like these grandchildren.
After all, the palms and backs of the hands are all flesh.
Li Xueyan looked at the bowl of minced meat, which was already small, with an embarrassed look on her face, "Mom... this boy can't be spoiled. He has to change his greed."
Ning Zhigan also nodded towards Old Lady Ning and said, "Yes, grandma, I don't like eating this greasy food. My sister should eat more. She will look plump and white.
Ning Zhi laughed dryly, showing his fangs, so simple.
Ning Hong, who was standing by, heard this and echoed in a sarcastic tone, "Yeah, little sister, just eat more. As for us, it's not important."
Old Mrs. Ning glared at her and said nothing.
Li Xueyan on the side also looked at her with disapproval. Ning Hong curled her lips, thinking that these people were all crooked.
Side with a fool.
It would be fine on normal days, but today there are guests here and they are still being so disrespectful.
The people of the Ning family deserve to die!
Ning Hong thought about it and her eyes unconsciously turned towards Xiao Yuchi.
He held his back straight, unlike Ning Zhigan and Ning Zhikun who ate voraciously. His movements were graceful and every action was so regular.
He has an extraordinary temperament and you can tell at first glance that he is from a big city.
He has a good family background and is handsome. If such a person falls in love with me in this life, then why should I worry about not being able to take revenge?
However, when she thought that such a banished immortal was brought back by Ning Zhihuan, she felt so depressed that she wanted to spit out blood.
Originally, the fool Ning Zhihuan was the one who played best with her. The reason was simple: she was a fool, and no one except the Ning family was willing to play with her, and some even bullied her.
She was the only one who was willing to talk to this fool for a few more words, and she treated herself like an older sister.
He would take her with him wherever he went, which was why although Old Lady Ning looked down on her, she was not bad after all.
After all, Ning Zhihuan only has a sister who she gets along well with.
In the past, Ning Zhihuan would always take her with him wherever he went, so she could get to know Xiao Yuchi in advance.
It’s not like nowadays, people don’t even know their own names.
However... there was a gleam of determination in Ning Hong's eyes.
Of course she has a way to make Xiao Yuchi fall in love with her. After all, she is better than this fool, right?
Ning Zhihuan felt very uncomfortable listening to this, and bitterness spread in his heart and overflowed.
Since she entered the book, she wanted to help the Ning family get out of poverty as soon as possible, but in the end she did nothing substantial and was instead taken care of by the Ning family everywhere. She wanted to change the status quo as soon as possible, but also regretted her excessive chastity.
Xiao Yuchi didn't know that Ning Zhihuan had despised him from the beginning to the end. He just felt that the Ning family was not living a rich life.
It can even be considered a bit poor.
He didn't touch the bowl of braised pork with oil floating on it, but he had a special liking for a plate of stir-fried side dishes.
No matter how much we persuaded him, he just said calmly: "I prefer to eat this."
Old Mrs. Ning didn't try to persuade him anymore, she just thought that this was a good child.
Ning Zhigan also changed his opinion of him a lot. After all, in his impression, who doesn't like to eat braised pork?
It seems that he wants to leave it all to his younger sister.
As for Xiao Yuchi himself, he had never eaten it before, so he just thought it was novel.
Ning Zhihuan had no appetite for the meal and forcefully distributed the braised pork to Ning Zhigan, Ning Zhikun, the old lady, Li Xueyan, and Ning Hong, which made her flattered.
Except for Ning Hong, everyone else's first reaction when they saw the rosy red braised pork in the bowl was to put the braised pork back into Ning Zhihuan's bowl.
Ning Zhihuan said, "No way, second brother, I put it in your bowl and it's stained with your saliva, are you going to give it back to me?"
Ning Zhigan scratched his head embarrassedly and said he wanted to wash her with water.
Ning Zhihuan refused: "After washing, the oil is gone. It's too greasy to eat. Hey, hurry up and eat it!"
Ning Zhigan looked at the meat in the bowl and swallowed his saliva. After all, he was young, so he nodded and ate it.
But Old Lady Ning and Li Xueyan insisted on not letting Ning Zhihuan go, saying that they would release him no matter what.
Ning Zhihuan still wants to cheat.
The old lady, however, took the initiative and asked, "Could it be that our Huan'er dislikes an old woman like me?"
Well, Ning Zhihuan was completely defeated in this round.
Fortunately, under Ning Zhihuan's persuasion, Ning Zhigan and the other two ate quite a lot.
The meal was quite enjoyable.
Ning Hong is probably the only one who has the least idea of the situation.
