“Xiao Xing.” A neutral voice sounded. It was a voice from someone they hadn’t seen before.
But Luo Lingxing recognized this voice. A smile immediately appeared on his face as he called out, “Grandpa.”
“Haha. It seems that Han boy takes good care of you. Let me take a look. There seems to be a bit more meat on your face, but you’re still too skinny. You need to eat more.” Old Man Luo looked at Luo Lingxing carefully and said fondly. “Grandpa Luo, don’t worry. I will definitely nurture Luo Lingxing until he gains a bit more weight,” Han Junzhan immediately stood and said.
“Grandpa,” Luo Bingze also stood, swallowed the item in his mouth, and greeted.
“It smells very good. Xiao Xing must have made all this, right?” Old Man Luo asked. He used an affirmative tone, obviously sure that Luo Lingxing was the one who made the food. He sat down unceremoniously, picked up a pair of chopsticks, and tasted the food. Sure enough, everything Xiao Xing made was delicious.
“There’s such good things here yet you didn’t call your grandpa.” Old Man Luo glared at Luo Bingze.
“Hehe…I just arrived too.” Luo Bingze laughed.
It was already late when Luo Lingxing and Han Junzhan arrived last night. Old Man Luo had already fallen asleep. They were going to greet Old Man Luo after breakfast, but who knew the old man couldn’t wait any longer and came to find them.
Luo Lingxing hurriedly went into the kitchen and bought another pair of chopsticks and bowl and handed them to Old Man Luo.
With Old Man Luo at the table, Han Junzhan and Luo Bingze were too embarrassed to try and snatch each other’s food. But they still secretly poked and provoked each other.
After having breakfast at the Luo residence, Han Junzhan and Luo Lingxing were going to the Han residence. After all, Grandpa Han was there, so they had to go and see him.
When Old Man Luo heard this, he waved his hand toward them and said, “Go ahead, but don’t come back too late. You can’t stay the night over there either, got it?”
“Mn, got it, Grandpa,” Luo Lingxing responded obediently, then took out the gifts he’d brought back. Everyone in the Luo family got one. Old Man Luo was very happy to see this.
They quickly arrived at Grandpa Han’s place. As soon as the guards at the door saw Han Junzhan and Luo Lingxing, they hurriedly went inside to report to Old Man Han.
Old Man Han was looking forward to the return of these two children these past few days. After all, the wedding date was on the agenda, so the two juniors needed to return to discuss this. The sooner the marriage was arranged, the more assured they’d be.”
“Grandpa, we’re back,” Han Junzhan saw Old Man Han and greeted him.
“Grandpa Han,” Luo Lingxing also greeted, then brought out the prepared gifts to give to the Han family.
“You came all this way, so why did you bring this many gifts?” Although Old Man Han was being polite, his face was full of smiles. His eyes glanced at the pile of gifts from time to time, wishing he could take a look at the contents now.
In fact, it wasn’t that Old Man Han was impatient, but the gifts Luo Lingxing had given during the new year left a deep impression in his heart. So he was full of expectations for this gift as well.
“Zhan’Er is back?” A beautiful woman walked out from the room. Seeing Luo Lingxing, her eyes lit up. She ran to Han Junzhan’s side and ran in a circle around them before grabbing Luo Lingxing’s little hands. Her eyes were curved as she said, “You must be Luoluo. You sure are cute. So loveable.”
This was the first time Luo Lingxing had met this woman, but there was a trace of familiarity in her delicate and beautiful face. She resembled Han Junzhan.
“Luoluo, this is my mother,” Han Junzhan hurriedly introduced, so as to not shock Luoluo.
“Hello, Auntie Han,” Luo Lingxing greeted. This was the first time he’d seen Han Junzhan’s mother. He hadn’t met her during new years last time.
“Mom, didn’t you go on an interstellar vacation with Dad?” Han Junzhan asked.
Last time, his dad said he was going to travel around with his mom. They hadn’t returned in several years, so Luo Lingxing didn’t see them during new years.
“My son is getting married, so how could I not return?” Mother Han glared at Han Junzhan, but when she turned to Luo Lingxing, her eyes softened again.
She hadn’t returned when her son got engaged, and now that her son was getting married, even if she was unreliable, she still had to return to participate, right?
Han Junzhan felt helpless in his heart, but he didn’t say anything.
“Come and sit. Why are you just standing there,” Old Man Han said.
Who knew who leaked that Luo Lingxing and Han Junzhan had arrived. The first person couldn’t wait to take a look, and now everyone was standing at the door.
But nobody expressed anything as they entered the room.
“You must be Luoluo. Come sit.” A handsome middle-aged uncle smiled at Luo Lingxing as he spoke. His appearance was seventy percent similar to Han Junzhan’s. This was obviously Han Junzhan’s father.
“Uncle Han, hello.” Luo Lingxing nodded to him.
“Big brother, you’re here.” As soon as little friend Han Shuxin heard Luo Lingxing was here, she hurriedly ran down the stairs, shocking everyone.
“Oh my. Child, slow down. If you fall, Grandma will worry to death.” Mother Han hurriedly stepped forward to catch Han Shuxin and said with distress.
“I’m fine, Grandma. I won’t fall,” Han Shuxin said with a smile. She couldn’t wait to run to Luo Lingxing’s side.
Seeing how much she liked Luo Lingxing, Mother Han didn’t stop her and let her run to his side…She then inserted herself between Han Junzhan and Luo Lingxing.
Han Junzhan and Luo Lingxing originally sat next to each other with barely any space between them, but as soon as Han Junzhan came, she forced herself between them. Her small body pushed and pushed, and it seemed she wouldn’t stop until she reached her goal.
Han Junzhan had no choice but to move over, letting this third wheel between himself and Luoluo.
“Big brother, are you here to visit Xinxin?” Han Shuxin was still not satisfied. Her little hand hugged Luo Lingxing’s arm. Her eyes were crystal clear.
“Mn, I’m here to see Xinxin,” Luo Lingxing said with a smile. He liked Han Shuxin very much.
“I knew my big brother would come to see me.” Han Shuxin immediately puffed up her chest, feeling very proud, causing the others to laugh.
After feeling proud for a while, Han Shuxin remembered the matter at hand and hurriedly pulled Luo Lingxing and asked anxiously, “Grandma said you’re going to marry Little Uncle? Isn’t big brother going to wait for Xinxin to grow up to marry Xinxin? Little Uncle isn’t good. He’s not as good as Xinxin.”
The little girl looked at Luo Lingxing aggrievedly with a posture that said, “if you don’t marry me, I’m going to cry”.
Mother Han hurriedly hugged her little granddaughter. She didn’t know whether to laugh or cry at her words. She coaxed, “Xinxin, you’re thinking about getting married at such a young age. What a shame.”
“I’m not. I’m going to marry big brother,” Han Shuxin put her little head on Mother Han’s arm and said in a milky voice.
“Haha…” The little girl’s innocent words made everyone laugh.
At noon, they ate at the Han residence. Mother Han cooked herself, and Luo Lingxing went into the kitchen to help her.
“I can do it . myself. You go and chat with Zhan’Er,” Mother Han said with a smile.
“It’s fine. I’ll help a bit.” Luo Lingxing rolled up his sleeve and began to wash the vegetables.
Seeing this, Mother Han no longer refused. If the elder daughter-in-law were here, she would help cook. Now that the little daughter-in-law was here and wanted to help her, she naturally wouldn’t refuse.
However, when she saw Luo Lingxing make the first dish, Mother Han was surprised. The fragrance that filled the room tempted her gluttony. If she didn’t have to serve her elders first, she definitely would have eaten already. So the chef started out as Mother Han, but it slowly changed to Luo Lingxing.
“What kind of food does Auntie Han like to eat?” Luo Lingxing asked. The movement of his hands didn’t pause in the slightest. “I’m not a picky eater.” Mother Han stood to the side and watched Luo Lingxing’s smooth movements, even forgetting to move her own hands as she watched.
Just at a glance at Luo Lingxing’s posture, one could tell he wasn’t an amateur. He was more skilled than her. With his knife work, everything he cut was relatively the same length and thickness. This was not a skill ordinary chefs had. And they obviously used normal ingredients, but after stir-frying in the pan, the fragrance filled the entire kitchen. If she hadn’t seen it with her own eyes, she would have thought he was using rare ingredients.
Soon, ten dishes and three soups were prepared. It was simply heaven in the kitchen, the strong fragrance lingered everywhere, making people reluctant to leave and wanting to stay there for the rest of their lives.
Sweet and sour tenderloin, braised fish, fried pork, shredded sweet potato, Disanxian, ect. The dishes were served by the servants in order. The plates all had an attractive color and were so fragrant others couldn’t help but want to taste it, especially those servants who served the dishes. It was a test of their self-control, looking at these delicacies and only being able to look and not eat. It was too tortuous. They only hoped to quickly serve the food, then leave, or else they might really take a bit of the food. They had to keep their mouth shut while delivering the food for fear of their saliva leaking.
The people who were chatting in the living room couldn’t sit still after smelling the tempting fragrance. They looked toward the dining room with their necks stretched.
“Xiao Hui’s skills have improved a lot. The smell alone makes me tempted.” Old Man Han was the first to speak. His eyes stared at the entrance of the dining room.
Old Man Han didn’t know, but Father Han knew. These past few years outside, he would often eat his wife’s cooking. It was never as fragrant as it was right now. However, she did say she would personally cook earlier, so Father Han was confused.
Among the people present, the only one who understood what was going on was Han Junzhan, since nobody had tasted Luoluo’s food here besides him.
Han Junzhan was very proud. This was his wife. His skills were naturally not ordinary. He’d had his cooking often.
Father Han noticed Han Junzhan’s proud expression. As soon as he turned his head, he knew what the situation was. As they said, like father like son.
“Dad, let’s head into the dining room. They should be ready,” Father Han said to Old Man Han.
“Okay.” Old Man Han had been wanting to enter the dining room for a while now, but as the elder of the family, he was embarrassed to show his eagerness in front of his juniors, so he could only endure it.
When they were in the living room, they could already smell the fragrance, and now inside the dining room, the smell was even more tempting. If they weren’t careful, their saliva would flow out.
“Xiao Hui, your skills have improved a lot these past few years,” Old Man Han said with emotion. His eyes were fixed on the bright red braised pork.
“Dad, these were all made by Luoluo.” Mother Han couldn’t help but blush. She originally wanted to personally cook for them, but she ended up watching Luoluo cook in the kitchen instead. When she came back to her senses, Luoluo had already finished, and she wasn’t able to do anything to help.
“Luoluo did? All of this?” Old Man Han obviously hadn’t expected Luo Lingxing to have such skill. He was surprised.
“Mn, it was all made by Luoluo,” Mother Han said.
“I didn’t know what everyone likes to eat, so I casually made some dishes. I hope you don’t dislike it,” Luo Lingxing said modestly.
“Big brother, you’re amazing. Can I eat? It looks yummy,” Han Shuxin couldn’t help but say. After all, she was still a child and had a harder time resisting temptation.
Adults could barely resist, let alone a child.
