Chapter 187 Dinner at Home

As soon as they entered the Zhou family's courtyard, Li Suhua opened the door and came out. Seeing that it was Zhou Bingkun and Cai Xiaoguang who came back, she greeted them warmly.

"Oh, Xiaoguang, you're finally here. Come in quickly. It's too cold outside. It's warm inside."

"Okay, auntie. I'm not a stranger here, why are you so polite?" Cai Xiaoguang said without any hesitation.

"That's right, old lady. Xiaoguang comes here often and we are familiar with each other. You should not be so unfamiliar." Zhou Zhigang was unusually enthusiastic today. In the past, because Cai Xiaoguang liked Zhou Rong, he was not cold but not very enthusiastic either. For a daughter-slave, this was pretty good.

But he was indeed much more enthusiastic today, probably because he was able to accept it in his heart. After all, he was the one who saw Cai Xiaoguang and knew that the child was very good. If Zhou Rong had found someone else, she might have felt even worse, so Zhou Zhigang was comforting himself.

"Okay, okay, it's Auntie's fault. Okay, wash your face quickly. There's hot water in the thermos. It's time for us to eat." Seeing her old man's attitude, Li Suhua's smile grew even bigger.

Zhou Rong also came out when she heard Cai Xiaoguang coming. Cai Xiaoguang hadn't come over these few days. You know what, Zhou Rong really missed him a little. After all, Cai Xiaoguang used to come over every day. If he hadn't come for a while, he might have just come to take a look and left, and Zhou Rong wouldn't have felt anything. But when he suddenly stopped coming over these few days, Zhou Rong started to miss Cai Xiaoguang often.

"You're here?" After Zhou Rong came out, she looked at Cai Xiaoguang. Her eyes brightened a little and the smile on her face seemed more natural.

"Yes, here you are. I haven't seen you for a few days. You look prettier again?" Cai Xiaoguang noticed the subtle change in Zhou Rong's expression, and felt proud in his heart. You see, pulling has an effect, right? He indeed began to praise Zhou Rong.

"No way, isn't this the same as every day?" Zhou Rong was very happy when she heard Cai Xiaoguang praising her, but she still spoke modestly and proudly.

"Really? It seems that you look good every day?" Cai Xiaoguang teased with a shocked expression.

Zhou Rong was indeed a little shy this time. After all, this was still her own home. When Cai Xiaoguang said this, Zhou Rong's face turned red. Although she was happy in her heart, she stopped talking and went into the kitchen to help Li Suhua get the dishes and chopsticks.

Zhou Bingkun was so shocked by Cai Xiaoguang's actions that he was speechless. He admired him so much in his heart that he thought about finding an opportunity to let Cai Xiaoguang teach him. If he learned it himself, would he still have trouble finding a wife?

After the dishes were served, everyone sat around the table. Cai Xiaoguang also sat next to Zhou Rong, looking at the braised pork, knife fish, fried cabbage with meat, cooked potatoes, and the indispensable pickled vegetables in Northeast China. It was quite a sumptuous meal. Only the Zhou family, Zhou Zhigang, an eighth-level worker, earned a lot of money every month, so they could eat these. If it were an ordinary family, they would not be able to eat these during the Chinese New Year.

"Uncle, aunt, your meal is so sumptuous that I feel embarrassed." Cai Xiaoguang also hurriedly expressed his gratitude. After all, it was really great.

"It's okay. My family has bought a lot of things for the New Year, so let's just celebrate the New Year in advance." As the head of the family, Zhou Zhigang naturally took over the topic.

"Okay, then thank you, uncle and aunt." Cai Xiaoguang raised his glass and toasted Zhou Zhigang and Li Suhua.

"Why don't you thank me? I helped you get the bowl and chopsticks, as well as the meal. Say thank you quickly." Zhou Rong said to Cai Xiaoguang with a smile after watching Cai Xiaoguang drink a sip of wine.

"Oh, really? Thank you so much. I must toast you a glass. Here, you can have tea instead of wine." Cai Xiaoguang also expressed his gratitude and said while holding up the wine glass.

"Hmph, that's good. Alright, I accept your thanks. Come eat some meat quickly. This braised pork is made by me. My mom just taught me how to make it. How about you try it?" Zhou Rong snorted proudly. She was very happy in her heart. After all, it was rare to have someone to laugh and play with you at this time. So she helped Cai Xiaoguang pick up a piece of braised pork with chopsticks, and also specially introduced that she made it herself. Then she looked at Cai Xiaoguang expectantly.

Cai Xiaoguang picked up the braised pork and put it directly into his mouth. After tasting it, he instantly felt that it was really good. He was worried that it might not be very good since it was his first time making it, but when he saw Li Suhua, he reacted and knew that Li Suhua would not really ignore it.

"It's delicious, really delicious. I didn't expect you to be so talented in cooking. You can't judge a person by his appearance." Cai Xiaoguang praised the dish after eating, which made Zhou Rong smile.

Zhou Zhigang and Li Suhua both looked at the two people with smiles on their faces, and they were truly satisfied.

"Xiaoguang, I asked you to have dinner today because I will be going to the Third Front project after the New Year, Bingyi will go to the Corps, and Zhou Rong will also go to the countryside. Bingkun is alone at home, so I want you to help take care of him. Bingkun is still young and doesn't have much brains. He doesn't do things properly. Please help take care of him if there is anything. As for Zhou Rong, although she has been assigned to the outskirts of Chuncheng, I am always worried about my daughter, so please take care of her more." Zhou Zhigang's tone was still a little sad. After all, this family would be disbanded after the New Year, and they didn't know when they would be able to get together again. His tone was inevitably a little lost.

"Dad, don't worry. We are doing this for national construction. We will come back when we have holidays." What should Zhou Bingyi say? He has a strong sense of national honor, so he also persuaded Zhou Zhigang.

"Yes, Dad, Bingkun is at home, and I'm not far away. When you and brother have rested, just come back, and we'll be reunited, right?" Zhou Rong was also a little sad. After all, Zhou Zhigang really doted on her. He was leaving home after the New Year, so she was reluctant to let him go.

"Yes, old man, you are all working for the country, and I will be waiting for you to come back home." Li Suhua was of course reluctant in her heart, but she also said this to comfort Zhou Zhigang.

"Okay, I'm not that fragile. I just feel a little emotional all of a sudden." Zhou Zhigang still had the spirit of a head of the family, so he quickly recovered.

"Uncle, don't worry. If anything really happens, I will be able to take care of it. I will take Zhou Rong there. Don't worry, I will go to see her when I have time. I will never let her be bullied." Cai Xiaoguang also quickly expressed his opinion.

"Okay, okay, that's good. I feel relieved now." Zhou Zhigang felt much happier after hearing what Cai Xiaoguang said. He also accepted this future son-in-law in his heart and would not disagree anyway.

The meal lasted more than an hour. Zhou Zhigang drank a lot of wine. When he finished eating, he was a little dazed, so Cai Xiaoguang planned to leave.

Zhou Rong took the initiative to offer to see Cai Xiaoguang off today. After the two of them left Zhou's house, they walked quietly on the small path in Guangzi Pian, and no one spoke.
