"Come on in, son-in-law. Take off your shoes and warm up on the kang."
Lu Yuan had been chatting for a bit with his wife and his young brother-in-law.
Then, his second aunt came in from outside and spoke.
Everything was tidied up, and it was time to cook.
Lu Yuan nodded, getting ready to go to the east room, take off his shoes, and get on the kang.
As he passed through the main room, he happened to run into Su Liyan's mother coming in.
Su Liyan's mother looked at her son-in-law, her face beaming with affection. She immediately said with a wide smile:
"Yuan'Er, what do you want to eat tonight? Mom will make it for you."
Lu Yuan laughed.
"Oh, anything is fine. Maybe some braised ribs, a bit of pig's head meat, some steamed white rice... we don't need to be fancy."
Hearing Lu Yuan's words, the others were secretly speechless. This was way beyond "not fancy."
Just then, Su Liyan came out of her room and said:
"Mom, I can do it. I know what my man likes to eat."
