As soon as the door opened, the rich aroma of food greeted us.
Xu Feng and Tang Jianying, who had been waiting for a long time, beamed as they saw the two of us come in.
"Oh, Qingning is here!"
"Uncle, Auntie, sorry for the disturbance."
"What are you talking about! Come in, come in, the food is just ready, and we're waiting for you!"
The dining table was filled with a hearty spread of homemade dishes.
Sweet and sour ribs, steamed bass, oil-braised shrimp…
All were Liu Qingning's favorites.
The four of us sat together, the atmosphere warm and lively.
Xu Feng kept serving Liu Qingning dishes, asking about her well-being, her fondness and satisfaction almost overflowing.
The meal was very delightful.
After the meal, Tang Jianying took the initiative to take on the task of washing the dishes, while Xu Feng pulled Liu Qingning along with Tang Song.
Sitting on the living room sofa, watching TV, they started chatting casually.
Just then.
"Ring ring—"
