As soon as Grandma Xu entered the house, she saw a table full of food.

There was meat, eggs, and refined grains—a whole table full, steaming hot, and the aroma made your mouth water.

Steamed sea bass, braised pork belly, stewed pig's trotters with soybeans, spicy stir-fried pork, stewed pork with vermicelli, stir-fried greens with garlic, hot and sour shredded potatoes, steamed egg with meatloaf...

A large bowl full of white rice.

Today's meal is a huge feast, almost like Chinese New Year.

Only Xu Sui and Qin Yunzhou, a married couple, can earn money, and their total subsidies are quite substantial; otherwise, the whole family wouldn't dare to eat like this.

However, their family is particularly generous when it comes to food and never skimps on themselves, after all, they have elderly people and children in the family.

Grandma Qin set out the bowls and chopsticks, and as soon as she saw people arriving, she hurriedly and warmly went to greet them.

"Girl, we've been waiting for you! Come on in, the food's ready. Wash your hands and sit down to eat."

As the saying goes, you can't hit a smiling face, especially since there's no real conflict between the two of them, they just don't get along.

"Sister-in-law Qin, thank you for your trouble." Old Mrs. Xu smiled politely at Old Mrs. Qin as a greeting.

She could tell at a glance who had cooked the food on the table.

Her daughter-in-law, Wang Yinhua, could only cook dishes that were barely edible; they couldn't possibly be as delicious and visually appealing as this.

Grandma Qin waved her hand, "Oh, we're all family, no need for formalities."

"Don't worry, don't worry, it's just cooking some simple meals, it's nothing big. Sui Sui, go and take your grandma over to wash her hands."

"Come on, Grandma, let me take you to wash your hands first." Xu Sui helped the old woman to the bathroom to wash her hands.

Grandma Xu nodded. She had been wealthy in her youth, and she knew these dining etiquette rules better than anyone else.

Even now that she's down on her luck, she still maintains the same rules she used to follow.

"Your house is quite spacious, much more spacious than the small courtyard in our hometown. It seems that Yunzhou is highly regarded in the army."

Grandma Xu was somewhat moved.

She's someone who's seen a lot of the world.

Of course, I know how difficult it was to get such a large apartment from my work unit back then.

It's all because my grandson-in-law is capable and successful.

She certainly didn't misjudge him back then.

While fetching water for Grandma Xu to wash her hands, Xu Sui introduced the products to her with a soft smile.

"It's much bigger than our small courtyard of 70 or 80 square meters; this house is over 100 square meters."

"There are four rooms in total, and a separate bathroom. You can get tap water at home without having to go outside, which saves you the trouble of carrying water."

Over 100 square meters? That's definitely a big house.

You know, there are many families nowadays where three generations or more people are crammed into a small room of just a few dozen square meters.

Grandma Xu looked at the faucet in front of her and gently turned it on to get water.

"It's quite convenient."

Back in my hometown, although we had running water, it was all in a large courtyard, and every day there were many people queuing up to get water, especially around mealtimes when it was incredibly crowded.

Otherwise, we can only use well water, but well water also needs to be carried and drawn by people, which is quite laborious.

After washing her hands, Xu Sui took a brand new handkerchief and wiped Grandma Xu's hands.

This is my grandmother's habit; she always dries her hands with a towel immediately after washing them.

Since she became the factory manager of the textile factory, her family no longer lacks towels and fabrics.

These are all defective products, but there are no major problems. They do not affect the use of the product; they are just not as aesthetically pleasing.

"Let's go, Grandma, let's go eat."

The dinner table.

The two children were also there. The adults ate from the normal bowls, but the children ate from special children's bowls.

The two children's bowls are different colors and styles.

Yan Yan's bowl is a blue fish bowl, and Yao Yao's bowl is a pink cat bowl; they both look incredibly cute.

This was a gift Xu Sui specially bought for her two children when she was on a business trip; it cost quite a bit of money.

Fortunately, the two children like it, so spending a little money is no big deal.

Yao Yao rested her chin on her hands, blinked her beautiful, round almond-shaped eyes, and looked curiously at the elderly Mrs. Xu who had appeared today.

Grandma Xu immediately noticed the little girl who looked very much like her granddaughter.

Seeing the child staring straight at him without any fear, he was somewhat surprised.

She was a bit cold and didn't smile much, making her seem unapproachable. Such an elderly person would actually find it difficult to win the favor of children.

The children in her hometown were all afraid of her. Just one glance from her could make them cry.

There's a saying that one shouldn't talk while eating, and this has always been Mrs. Xu's habit. She didn't look at the little girl again, but quietly began to eat her meal.

Xu Sui and Qin Yunzhou were aware of Old Madam Xu's habits, so they rarely spoke at the dinner table.

It was when our whole family sat together quietly eating.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

For a moment, everyone paused with their chopsticks and looked towards the door.

It's dark now, and at this hour, everyone is eating dinner, so people generally don't visit each other at this time.

Unless it's an emergency.

"I'll go take a look, you guys eat first." Xu Sui was also a little curious.

She was closer to the door, so she put down her chopsticks, got up, and went to open it.

Wang Yinhua, who was eating, didn't think much of it. The food was delicious, with lots of fish and meat, even more lavish than during the New Year.

She was engrossed in her food.

The next second, she heard her own daughter's exclamation, as well as another familiar voice.

"Commander, what brings you here so suddenly? Please come in, please come in quickly."

"Haha, Xiao Xu, did I disturb you?"

"No, no, please come in, Chief." Xu Sui really didn't expect Chief Hong to visit suddenly, so she quickly invited him in.

Qin Yunzhou was also somewhat surprised when he heard the commotion. He put down his chopsticks and got up to go to greet them.

When he went over to take a look, it really was Chief Hong, whom he knew.

"Commander, please come in and have a seat." Qin Yunzhou didn't ask why the other person had come so suddenly, and directly led him to his seat.

Grandma Qin reacted quickly; she was very perceptive and hurriedly went to get bowls and chopsticks, added rice, and warmly brought it over.

"Commander, come, come, sit down and have a meal together."

"You only need to come in person, why bring so much stuff and make us feel so polite? We feel bad for you."

Chief Hong placed all the bags and packages he was carrying on the table.

"Haha, it's nothing, just a small token of my appreciation. You can't come here for a meal empty-handed, can you?"

Seeing that the other party had brought so many things over at once, Grandma Qin's enthusiasm increased even more.

Although she privately thought this man was no good, and that he was obviously an old man who lusted after the beauty of respectable women.

But since he's the top leader of the military, they still have to put on a show of respect and not let him feel that they're being neglected.
