Chapter 55, Are you concerned about your sister-in-law?
Thinking about how his sister-in-law was especially afraid of thunder, Xu Wendong picked up the drink in his cup, stood up, and said, "Thanks to Elder Jin and everyone for the hospitality. Normally, it would be rude for me to leave at this time, but I have urgent matters I must attend to, so I have to leave early."
"I’ll drink this cup dry as an apology." With that, he tilted his head back and downed the drink in his cup.
Jin Jianyuan hurriedly said, "Doctor Xu, we’ve just started the meal. Why not have a few bites before you go back?"
"I really want to stay and eat, but I truly have something important!" Xu Wendong said with a wry smile. There were several dishes on the table he hadn’t tasted yet. If it weren’t for his sister-in-law’s fear of thunder, he wouldn’t have suggested leaving.
Jin Jianyuan cautiously asked, "If you don’t mind, I can have someone pack some food for you to take home?"
Xu Wendong’s eyes lit up, "Isn’t that inappropriate?"
"What’s inappropriate about it?" Jin Jianyuan waved his hand and said, "Hurry, hurry, pack some dishes for Doctor Xu to take home. Goudan, you must make sure to safely escort Doctor Xu home, understand?"
A young man grinned and said, "Don’t worry, Third Master, I’ll make sure Doctor Xu gets home safe."
And so it went.
Jin Jianyuan had someone pack some of every dish for Xu Wendong, a total of eighteen containers, and even included two unopened bottles of Maotai and a pack of Soft Spring cigarettes.
Xu Wendong originally intended to decline, but Jin Jianyuan ruthlessly insisted, so he could only accept with a smile. Then he got in a BMW and drove towards the Happiness Community through the rain.
