Chapter 141
Today's table is very rich in dishes, including Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, Clear-boiled Chicken Soup, Braised Pork with Abalone, and Steamed Grouper.Dry pot beer duck, salted pig's trotter stewed with bamboo shoots, beef brisket stewed with radish, fried spring rolls, sweet and sour spare ribs, two stir-fried vegetables, and a small glutinous rice dumpling with osmanthus wine as dessert.
There were twelve dishes, and from the color to the presentation, they were all of the standard of a big hotel. It seemed that Si Lu's father did not slack off when he was learning the craft from his master.
“Little Tao, I’m really grateful to you today. I didn’t even get to eat such delicious food on New Year’s Eve.” Old Master Si said with a smile, stroking his beard.
On New Year's Eve, Si Han and his wife did not come back, so only he and Si Lu, the grandfather and grandson, were at home. His aunt prepared three dishes and a soup for them, and then he hurried back to reunite with his family to celebrate the festival.
"Thank you for your hard work, uncle and aunt." Su Xiaotao smiled obediently and said sincerely.
"It's not hard. It's my duty." Zhang Peiwen patted her hands with a smile, and put a piece of abalone from the braised pork in her bowl, asking her to eat more.
Su Xiaotao nodded. She didn't feel awkward sitting next to her at all. Instead, she felt more and more comfortable.
"Dad, we will try to come back before New Year's Eve next year." Si Han said guiltily.
"It's okay. You are busy with work. I understand." Mr. Si waved his hand and asked everyone to start eating.
While eating, Si Lu kept picking up food for her and her brother, as he was afraid that the two would feel embarrassed to pick up food and would not be full.
Su Xiaotao accepted all the food and the food in her bowl was almost piled up into a small mountain. Not to mention, the food tasted really good and she was almost full.
Si Han accompanied the two old men for a few drinks, and the rest of the time he was basically picking up food and adding soup to his wife.
Lin Meixin looked at the happy family scene. She and her grandfather seemed like two intruders, a little out of place.
She felt more and more upset and had no appetite to eat. She made an excuse that she had something to do and left Old Man Lin, who was enjoying his drink, behind.
After dinner, Mr. Si and Mr. Lin were already drunk and were sent to the guest room to rest by the housekeeper.
In the living room, Su Xiaotao was chatting with Si Lu's parents.
"Xiao Tao, stay here tonight. I'll ask your uncle to cook some more delicious dishes." Zhang Peiwen said enthusiastically.
Su Xiaotao didn't know how to answer and looked at Si Lu for help.
"No, Xiaotao is going to take the college entrance examination soon. She has to go back to review. School starts in two days." Si Lu took a sip of tea and said very naturally.
What? The college entrance examination is coming soon?
Zhang Peiwen and Si Han were stunned, both a little bit unbelievable. They knew Su Xiaotao was young, but they didn't expect that she was still in high school. Their son was just an old cow eating young grass.
How dare you do that!
Now, the expressions on their faces when they looked at him became a little strange.
