Chapter 90 - 090. Feast
The brother-in-law merely said to invite everyone for a meal to satisfy their cravings, and naturally, Liu Shouren and Liu Shouyi’s family couldn’t decline. Even Lianshan personally came to pick them up, so even if it was just to drink a glass of cold water, as the brother and sister-in-law, they’d surely feel from the bottom of their hearts that the sister’s family’s water was sweeter and more refreshing, right?
After all, they took more pride in the fact that their brother-in-law and sister always remembered their two brothers rather than in what they were eating.
Meanwhile, the two little ones, Jianguo and Jiandang, were taken by their uncle by car and left first. As soon as they entered the yard and smelled the rich aroma of meat, they started drooling immediately.
Aroma, simply too fragrant!
Upon entering the house and seeing their aunt serving a large pot of half pork ribs and half string beans dish, and noticing Hai Zi’s aunty adding water to the pot for braising slices of pork with cabbage, potatoes, and vermicelli, the two little guys were thoroughly amazed.
Even though the meat was fragrant and delicious, the little ones were taught well.
With longing yet disciplined eyes, they glanced twice before quickly averting their gaze, avoiding the kind of unpromising behavior their parents warned against — staring at someone else’s dish. At five and three years old, they didn’t quite understand what ’unpromising’ meant, but they knew anything their parents didn’t approve of must be bad.
Yes, their parents had also told them to greet their elders; polite children were good children.
"Hello Auntie, hello Hai Zi’s Aunty, hello Aunt Lian Yue, and here come Jiandang/ Jianshe!" the cute little voices sounded in unison as they greeted everyone, including Xiao Yue, who was stoking the fire under the stove.
"Good, good, good! Jiandang, Jianshe, how are you both! It’s smoky in this outer room, why don’t you two little guys go inside and play with Jiezi, Jiajia, and our little Ning An? Your uncle got you kids some orange soda; let Uncle Ning pour it for you." Almost enchanted by the little cuties, Xiao Yue nearly turned into a doting aunt, wanting to scoop them into her arms for a good cuddling.
Too adorable, aren’t they?
