A sophomore in college starts by getting a marriage certificate with a female CEO.

"Dinner's ready!"

Two tables were set up in the yard.

Lu Jianguo and Lu Shihao brought out the dishes one by one.

"Xiaoxue, come, sit here."

Zhou Huifang greeted her with a smile, her eyes full of doting affection, clearly already regarding her as her daughter-in-law.

Li Xixue gave a soft "hmm" and then obediently sat down.

Her current public image is that of an obedient and sensible daughter.

The old lady sat in the main seat, and Lu Yang sat next to Li Xixue.

The others took their seats one after another.

The table was laden with dishes. Braised pork belly sat in the center, next to sweet and sour pork ribs and steamed fish. Several plates of vegetables filled the empty spaces, and there was a pot of chicken soup that had been simmering for a long time, steaming continuously.

Zhou Huifang was the last to sit down, her apron still on, and the oil from her hands smeared onto her pants.

"Mom, you start eating first."

The old lady smiled, picked up her chopsticks, took a piece of pork rib, and put it directly into Li Xixue's bowl instead of her own.

"Girl, eat more, you're too thin."

Li Xixue held the bowl and said thank you, Grandma.

Zhou Huifang also started serving food to Li Xixue.

A piece of braised pork, a chopstickful of meat from the fish belly, and a chicken leg scooped out of the chicken soup and put into her bowl as well.

Li Xixue's bowls were already piled up like a small mountain.

She glanced at Lu Yang.

Lu Yang shrugged helplessly, giving him a "go ahead and eat" look.

Lu Jianguo ate his meal silently across from him, then took a sip of wine.

"Jianguo, give us one!"

Lu Shihao poured a glass for Lu Jianguo, and then poured one for himself.

The two clinked glasses.

Zhang Xiulan's chopsticks never stopped, and her mouth never stopped either.

"By the way, Xiaoxue, do you usually cook?"

Li Xixue swallowed the food in her mouth and thought for a moment.

"Do it occasionally."

"It's good that you can cook. For a man, the stomach is the most important thing," Zhang Xiulan said with a smile.

Zhou Huifang chimed in from the side, "My son isn't picky; he eats everything."

"That won't do."

Zhang Xiulan shook her head. "When a man says he's not picky, that's just politeness. You have to make him feel comfortable before he'll feel at ease."

Li Xixue paused for a moment as she picked up some food.

Is it comfortable to feed...?

Then, she put the chicken leg from her bowl into Lu Yang's bowl.

"You eat."

Lu Yang: "?"

Upon seeing this, the group exchanged glances.

Zhang Xiulan covered her mouth and laughed, and was the first to speak: "Oh my, this girl knows how to take care of people."

Zhou Huifang was stunned for a moment, then smiled broadly: "That's right, my daughter-in-law is very sensible."

Lu Yang stared at the chicken leg in the bowl, unsure of what to say for a moment.

Li Xixue's face turned slightly red.

She had just heard Zhang Xiulan say that she should make the man feel good, and she subconsciously squeezed Lu Yang.

She felt a little uncomfortable being watched by so many people.

"Xiaoyang, what are you standing there for? Hurry up and eat!"

Zhou Huifang said with a smile, urging him on.

Lu Yang picked up his chopsticks and took a bite of the chicken leg.

Mmm, delicious.

The old lady smiled and nodded: "Good, good, you two have a good relationship."

Lu Jianguo took a sip of wine across from him. Although he didn't say anything, his expression betrayed him; he was very satisfied with his daughter-in-law.

Lu Shih-hao spoke up: "Jianguo, your son is lucky."

The aunt's chopsticks stopped in mid-air, her eyes darted around a couple of times, and she suddenly spoke.

"Xiaoxue, when are you and Xiaoyang planning to hold your wedding?"

Li Xixue was drinking soup when she heard this and almost choked.

"Cough cough."

Lu Yang quickly handed over a tissue.

Lu Shihao couldn't help but speak up: "We're eating, don't ask these questions."

The aunt waved her hand: "What's wrong with asking? They're living together now, shouldn't they start thinking about marriage?"

Li Xixue tightened her grip on the tissue.

Zhou Huifang noticed that Li Xixue was a little uncomfortable, so she quickly smoothed things over.

"Alright, alright, it's their own business, let's not meddle."

Auntie wasn't buying it and said directly, "You only say you're not in a hurry, but you're actually more anxious than we are."

"..."

Zhou Huifang did not refute.

After all, that's the truth.

She couldn't wait for Lu Yang to hold a wedding with Li Xixue so that he could truly become her daughter-in-law.

She cleared her throat and quickly changed the subject, saying, "Eat, eat! This braised pork is delicious, you should all eat more..."

No one continued to dwell on the topic.

Lu Yang gently touched Li Xixue's foot under the table.

Li Xixue didn't look at him, but the corners of her mouth relaxed a little, and then she started to eat her rice in small bites.

Halfway through the meal, Auntie finally spoke up.

"By the way, speaking of which, my Xiaohui has some good news recently."

Everyone looked up at her.

Auntie put down her chopsticks, picked up her teacup and took a sip: "Xiao Hui has a job interview next week."

"Xiao Hui graduated so quickly?"

Zhang Xiulan thought for a moment and said, "I remember, the last time I saw him, he was still in high school."

Auntie put down her chopsticks, a smile on her face: "My Xiaohui is graduating from Tsinghua or Peking University this year."

The atmosphere at the table immediately changed after those words were spoken.

Zhang Xiulan's chopsticks stopped: "Tsinghua and Peking University? Which Tsinghua and Peking University?"

"How many Tsinghua and Peking University graduates are left?"

The aunt picked up her teacup, took a sip, and couldn't hide her pride in her voice.

Zhou Huifang was also taken aback: "That's one of the top schools in the country."

"That's right."

The aunt waved her hand with a smile, "When the results came out, our whole family was stunned. We never expected that the child would actually get in."

Lu Jianguo took a sip of his drink and nodded: "You've got potential."

The aunt's lips curled up slightly: "My Xiaohui is graduating soon, and he has a job interview next week."

"What company?" Zhang Xiulan asked.

The aunt put down her teacup, her voice neither too loud nor too soft.

"Snowy Region Group".

After those four words were spoken, the reactions of the people at the table were quite different.

Zhang Xiulan and her husband were slightly surprised: "Snowy Region? Which Snowy Region?"

The aunt's expression began to show interest. "It's that Xueyu Group in Linjiang, a listed company. You should have heard of it, right?"

Zhang Xiulan had certainly heard of it.

Everyone in Linjiang knows about Xueyu Group.

That's one of the top companies in the entire Linjiang area.

That would be terrible.

Zhang Xiulan put down her chopsticks. "Aren't all the people who can get into the snowy region top students?"

The aunt raised her chin slightly.

"It's not that you have to be a top student, but the threshold is indeed quite high. Xiaohui submitted his resume himself, and they have already notified him to come for an interview."

That was said very skillfully.

On the surface, it appears to be modesty, but underneath it carries a hint of boasting.

Zhou Huifang listened from the side, her chopsticks moving slightly.

Then she suddenly remembered something.

"Snowy Region Group?"

Zhou Huifang frowned and turned to look at Li Xixue: "Xiaoxue, don't you work at Xueyu Group?"
