Back to the 60s: The Struggle Career of a Charmed Wife

After three rounds of drinks, Dr. Guo noticed that the soup in front of Zhuangzhuang hadn’t been touched; he only had a few bites of the cucumber salad and scrambled eggs with tomatoes.

"What’s wrong with Zhuangzhuang? Doesn’t he like it?"

Feng Qingxue quickly said, "No, no, he can’t eat seafood, he’s allergic to it."

The family all knew this and were particularly cautious about it.

Dr. Guo was startled, "Oh my, what to do about that? How can you come to the seaside and not taste the seafood here? You can skip the meat, but seafood is a must. Is Zhuangzhuang allergic to all seafood or just certain types? I’ve seen people who are allergic to shellfish like crabs, lobsters, and scallops but not to sea fish."

"He’s quite frail, so we don’t dare let him try anything recklessly." As a mother, she can’t bear to let her son be a guinea pig. Anyway, their family doesn’t lack food, so if he can’t eat seafood, they’ll make up for it with other things.

Wang Cuilan chimed in, "Zhuangzhuang isn’t allergic to seaweed or laver. Those dried goods you sent home, we make them often, and when Zhuangzhuang wanted to try, I couldn’t refuse him. So I let him drink half a bowl of laver egg drop soup and he also had the seaweed salad without any allergic reactions. However, he can’t eat shrimp or conch meat at all, and we haven’t tried sea fish yet."

Feng Qingxue, feeling sorry for her son, said, "No more testing, no more testing, eating and getting an allergy would just make him suffer."

They planned to wait for advancements in medicine to take Zhuangzhuang for an allergy test.

"Sigh, Zhuangzhuang really doesn’t have the palate for it!" Lu Erxiong peeled a shrimp, dipped it in sauce, and stuffed it into his big mouth.

Zhuangzhuang snorted, "Do you think everyone is like you, who only eats and eats and doesn’t study well or do homework properly? Half of the answers on the teacher’s test are failing."

Sitting across from him, Lu Erxiong waved his fist playfully, "Oh, you’re the smart one, huh? Smart people don’t tattle!"
