Now the temperature has dropped, and although it’s only a little past four, the sunset has already started turning more orange-red.
Aunt Niu looked at the sky and then thought about her son-in-law at ho. Though unwilling, she still had to go back and tidy up.
The old couple took the sheepish Niu Hong out the door, and Da Dan sent them to the door, enthusiastically saying:
"Auntie, don’t rush. Once I finish dealing with things at ho, I’ll co and lend you a hand."
Aunt Niu smiled happily at Da Dan:
"No need, no need. Having you over is to help, it’s not right to let the guests cook. Just wait, your Aunt Niu might not be a great cook, but it’s edible."
The two pushed their offers back and forth. Once they left, Chu River couldn’t hold in her excitent and rubbed her hands:
"Tell us, tell us quickly!"
While feeling relieved: "Luckily I ca back tonight, or I’d have missed such good gossip!"
Shi Suifeng was helpless—was this still his fault?
—What’s there to talk about?
Da Dan sumd it up in a few words, and the whole issue was clear to everyone.
Chu River propped her chin:
"So, Chen Jian Country might have recognized a fake younger sister and is ssing around right under Niu Hong’s nose?"
In those days, the term "Little Three" didn’t have any special aning, it was just a generational title.
For instance, Shi Suifeng.
Back then, he was the family’s "Little Three".
At this mont, his eyebrow twitched, and he couldn’t help but glance at Chu River.
But Chu River’s expression was so eager that everyone present got the other aning of "Little Three".
Da Dan hurriedly said:
"Aunt, your summary is spot-on! That’s exactly it!"
Chu River’s eyes lit up as she rubbed her hands eagerly: "Exciting! This Chen Jian Country has sothing going on!"
Looking at her expression, everyone was looking forward to the dinner tonight.
But anwhile, Da Dan still suggested:
"Aunt, how about I cook first?"
"Aunt Niu just starts preparing now, the dinner might not be enough for you, so we can eat at ho first, and just treat it like snacks tonight."
They’re quite familiar with this plan.
Chu River certainly had no objections.
She had tasted Aunt Niu’s cooking, and it’s definitely not better than Da Dan’s. Comparing the two, better to fill up at ho.
As for Aunt Niu’s family dinner... consider it as tasting so different-flavored snacks.
As for Gu Ping, he disinterestedly said:
"I’m not interested in such things. I can’t help much tonight, so I won’t go, save Aunt Niu from making dinner for so many people."
These days, it’s quite expensive to host als.
With that, Little Xuan and Gu An also looked up.
Daya and Yun Baoni did the sa.
Chu River looked at everyone feeling they weren’t disinterested, but rather picky because they’re used to Da Dan’s cooking.
Tsk!
This group of kids, picky eaters!
If they had tried the high-energy nutrition liquid of the interstellar era, they’d know... even a burnt sweet potato now is better than that stuff!
"Alright then, their food’s not as good as ours."
She openly explained everyone’s behavior, then told Da Dan:
"Make sure to tell Aunt Niu so she doesn’t make too much."
...
Only now did Shi Suifeng finally have ti to ask face-to-face about everyone’s exam results.
Though they had practiced over the phone before and after the exams, the phone bill was expensive, so so things couldn’t be discussed at length.
Now that he asked, Gu Ping and Little Xuan proudly puffed up their chests, implying their abilities were up to standard.
Shi Suifeng wasn’t worried about the two of them.
He turned to look at Da Dan:
"Da Dan, you’re the eldest in the family, you need to set an example, right?"
Da Dan: ...
Why can’t he be an example just because his grades aren’t good? Isn’t this a biased perspective?
It’s not like he can’t cook well or is less savvy in business?
But facing his uncle’s stern face, he could only pretend to be calm and said:
"Don’t worry, Uncle, I definitely can get into college."
He’s not hanging out in social circles for nothing; these days, after exams, he’s been asking around about everyone’s answers.
As for Chu River...
Shi Suifeng glanced at her and then smiled gently:
"Little He, as long as you’ve tried your best, that’s enough. Grades are just numbers, no need to force it."
Chu River also nodded, agreeing deeply.
"I think so too. Just can’t decide whether to go to He’an or Bai Niao."
It’s quite troubleso.
"Wait, wait..."
After spending the afternoon as an outsider, Chen Changhai finally shouted:
