"Hualan hasn't eaten vegetables for over thirty years. Look, she found a son-in-law, but he doesn't like vegetables either." The old lady Gu across from her smiled and picked up a piece of bok choy and put it in her mouth.
Suddenly being called upon, Shen Beian subconsciously looked up and blinked. He was eating a piece of pork rib, while the vegetables that Gu Nanyan had just given him were still in his small bowl.
"If I remember correctly, Bei'an was also raised by my sister-in-law, right?" Gu Xiuxuan smiled and leaned her head on her husband's shoulder. The sisters were not much different in age and had a very good relationship.
Gu Xiujin (the third son of the Gu family) also picked up a piece of green vegetable, and whether intentionally or not, he placed it in his mouth and said, "Does this count as being from the same lineage, sister-in-law?" His blue eyes sparkled as they darted between Sheng Hualan and Shen Beian.
Shen Bei'an was at a loss for words, but Sheng Hualan didn't care at all. "Of course, carnivores need to eat meat, right, Bei'an?" she chuckled at Shen Bei'an.
Shen Beian blinked, then nodded with a smile, "Yeah, anyway, I think meat tastes much better than vegetables."
“Sister-in-law, Bei’an, a balanced diet is the best approach. Please take good care of my elder brother and Sister Yan.” A refined-looking blond-haired, blue-eyed man sitting next to Gu Xiujin said.
"This is your uncle's partner, the head of the Windsor family in England, and a doctor by profession," Gu Nanyan introduced at the opportune moment. "Just call him Uncle."
Shen Beian had seen too much in this world, so there was no surprise on his face. "There are different nutritious recipes every week, and they're quite delicious." He said subconsciously.
Why does it sound like you're having a casual chat?
This kind of family atmosphere was something Shen Beian had never experienced before.
"Is that Aunt Wang at Biluo Xiaozhu?" Sheng Hualan opened her mouth to eat the food that Gu Xiuhuang fed her. The intimacy between the couple seemed perfectly normal to outsiders.
"Mm." Shen Beian nodded, not stopping his work of speaking at all.
"You're in for a treat! Aunt Wang's ancestors were imperial chefs, and she also learned some traditional Chinese medicine when she was young. Her medicinal cuisine is delicious."
They ate and chatted casually, but neither of them mentioned whether or not they wanted to have children.
Shen Beian discovered that the people who take care of the family are all good-looking, but the more good-looking they are, the more they are devoted to their wives and husbands.
Especially Old Master Gu, who didn't eat much himself during the meal, and kept trying to coax Old Madam Gu.
If he wasn't mistaken, wasn't Old Master Gu just calling Old Madam Gu "sister"?!
After dinner, the younger ones didn't leave. Old Master Gu instructed Gu Tao to make some ice cream. It was a bit hot to sit around the stove and brew tea in the middle of summer, so they made an icebox, put some iced fruit in it, and also made some ice cream.
"Chen-ge'er, aren't you going to introduce him?" Old Master Gu said, while tightly gripping Old Madam Gu's sleeve. Old Madam Gu seemed somewhat displeased, but she didn't pull away.
This is the first time Gu Nanyan has brought someone back from a Gu family banquet.
Gu Nanchen still held Mo Yuluo in his arms. "Grandpa, Luoluo is a bit shy. This is my lover, Mo Yuluo, seventeen years old, studying law at Oxford University. We plan to hold an engagement banquet next year, and when Luoluo comes of age, we will get married."
Then, Mo Yulu introduced the members of the Gu family one by one, some of whom she had already met in Europe.
Mo Yulu called out to each person one by one.
After going around the room, Mo Yulu received quite a few gifts and was unsure whether to accept them or not. "Take them, there are more gifts for changing your address later," she said with a smile.
"Look at you, you've really forgotten your old mother now that you have a new bride." Sheng Hualan sneered at Gu Nanchen and snuggled into her husband's arms. "Honey, look at your daughter and son, only your youngest son hasn't found a wife yet. Am I going to be a lonely old man in the future?"
This remark was met with frequent laughter, and indeed it was.
Gu Nanyan was making jam for Shen Bei'an, Gu Nanchen was protecting Mo Yuluo, and the youngest Gu Nanyu and Gu Nanxing were eating ice cream together.
