Chapter 104

Jiang Pengfei looked at his wife, and instead of arguing with Jiang Nansun, he looked at Han Tao with a smile on his face, and asked:

"Xiao Han, let's chat while eating, can you have a drink? Did you drive here by yourself, or..."

"No problem, I can have a drink with my uncle, the driver is in the car." Han Tao nodded and replied.

"It's great to have a driver!"

Jiang Pengfei clapped his hands happily, and as if thinking of something, he looked at Zhang Anren who was sitting next to Jiang Nansun and asked, "Xiao Zhang, do you drink?"

Zhang Anren heard the words, hurriedly got up and replied:
"Sorry uncle, I never drink!"

"Oh, you don't need to stand up, you can do whatever you want!"

Jiang Pengfei responded and pressed his hand to let him sit down.

Seeing that everyone was seated, Aunt Jia received Jiang Pengfei's signal and began to serve food.

After a while, there were twelve dishes on the table, four cold and eight hot, some meat and some vegetables.

Finally, she brought out a pot of hot rice wine to everyone, and while putting it away, she reminded:
"Miss Zhu, put your wine and the miss's wine here, be careful not to burn it!"

"Thank you auntie!"

Zhu Suosuo and Jiang Nansun spoke in unison and nodded their thanks.

Zhang Anren waited for Aunt Jia to return to the kitchen with the tray, and whispered to Jiang Nansun suspiciously: "Nan Sun, when did you drink?"

Jiang Nansun looked at Zhang Anren and explained with a smile: "Eat drunk crabs and drink some hot rice wine to relieve the cold. Grandma drinks it every day!"

"Oh, let me have a drink too!"

After listening to his girlfriend's explanation, Zhang Anren and Jiang Nansun talked to each other as they saw that there was a cup of hot rice wine in front of everyone.

Jiang Nansun nodded: "Well, you can drink a little, so as not to hurt your spleen and stomach!"

Seeing Jiang Nansun nodded, Zhang Anren stood up, looked towards the kitchen and shouted:

"Auntie, could you please give me another cup of hot rice wine?"

"okay!"

Not long after the words fell, Aunt Jia, the nanny, came over with a cup of newly hot rice wine, carefully put it on Zhang Anren and said:

"Sir, the wine you want is hot!"

"Thank you, Auntie!" Zhang Anren smiled and thanked politely.

Aunt Jia waved her hand as she stepped back, "You're welcome, you should!"

When Aunt Jia walked back to the kitchen, Zhang Anren took the initiative to pick up Jiang Nansun's cup, smiling like he usually took care of Jiang Nansun in the school cafeteria: "It's a bit hot, let me pour it for you!"

"Don't move, wait a minute!"

Seeing this, Jiang Nansun quickly pressed Zhang Anren's hand, and explained in a low voice next to his ear:
"Put down the cup first, wait for grandma to sit down and do it!"

"Okay, I get it now!"

Zhang Anren nodded in embarrassment, and sat down with embarrassment.

Grandma Jiang, who came down from the stairs, looked at his embarrassment and bewilderment.

So after greeting everyone, he walked to the main seat and sat down, smiling gently and saying:
"Everyone, don't be restrained, just like at home. Today, Aunt Jia cooks Huaiyang cuisine, so I don't know if it suits your taste?"

Zhang Anren glanced at the dishes on the table, and couldn't help feeling that the Jiang family still valued him.

After all, I came to eat at home today as Nansun's boyfriend, and Zhu Suosuo and the others were accompanying guests, so they replied humbly and politely with a smile on their faces:

"Grandma, I eat casually, you don't have to cook such a big table for me!"

"Ha ha!"

Grandma Jiang laughed twice, and Feng Danyun explained lightly:

"There are only two more dishes, one lion's head, one fried shrimp that Suo Suo likes to eat, nothing else is added!"

This answer made Zhang Anren look slightly stunned, Jiang Nansun looked at him, and quickly explained:
"This is how we usually eat at home, and when we have guests, we will add one or two dishes!"

"Oh!"

Zhang Anren nodded in understanding, and before he could say anything, Aunt Jia brought out the last stir-fried dish, put it on the table and said:

"The dishes are ready, I'll serve soup for everyone!"

"Aunt Jia, wait a minute!"

Seeing that she was about to leave, Grandma Jiang called her to a halt, then leaned her arms on the table, looked at the dishes, and said displeasedly:
"Aunt Jia, are there no more round plates at home? Why, do you use a long plate for fish to hold stir-fried vegetables?"

"I'm dizzy, look, grandma has told me many times, just forget about it, I'll go and change it!"

Aunt Jia explained in embarrassment, then took the long plate of stir-fried vegetables off the dining table, and walked back to the kitchen to replace it with a round plate for stir-fried vegetables.

Jiang Nansun glanced at Grandma Jiang disapprovingly, and then whispered to Zhang Anren who didn't know why: "Grandma is poor!"

Zhang Anren smiled awkwardly when he heard the words, and sat quietly without replying.

Grandma Jiang was quite satisfied with his performance, she nodded with a smile on her face and said, "Xiao Zhang, what is your name Zhang?"

"Grandma, my name is Zhang Anren!"

Seeing Jiang Nansun's grandma asking him, Zhang Anren quickly stood up and answered.

"Sit down quickly, didn't I say it, just treat it as your own home, don't be so restrained!"

Grandma Jiang told him to sit down, then looked up and down at Zhang Anren, who appeared to be well-mannered, nodded in satisfaction and said:
"Xiao Zhang, you still look pretty good, judging by your face, you will be a promising person in the future!"

After all, she didn't wait for Zhang Anren to respond, she looked at her son Jiang Pengfei on the left, and suggested with a smile:
"Pengfei, I think if they can get married, let the two of them get married earlier! Nansun is not young anymore, girls can't be kept, what do you think?"

"Mom, I'll think about it. Nansun is my daughter. I have to let her find a good home."

After finishing speaking, Jiang Pengfei glanced at Zhang Anren who looked delighted.

His mother said so, and he could only respond insincerely.

Grandma Jiang knew that her son was perfunctory, so she gave him a blank look and stopped pestering him.

Instead, he turned his head to look at the imposing Han Tao and the well-behaved Zhu Suosuo and said with a smile:

"Suosuo, you are Nansun's best friend. Grandma has never regarded you as an outsider. Grandma is so happy for you that you can find such an excellent boy as Xiao Han!

The two of you can be regarded as a good match from heaven. For girls, finding a man who can be relied on for the rest of your life is the real top priority!

Don't blame grandma for talking too much, you should also think about getting married earlier, it is not easy to meet a suitable person, grandma hopes that you can all be happy! "

Seeing Grandma Jiang shift the topic to herself, Zhu Suosuo blushed and said coquettishly:
"Thank you grandma, you are the best for me!"

"Alright, Suo Suo is the most obedient!"

Grandma Jiang nodded slightly at Zhu Suosuo, then looked at Han Tao beside Jiang Pengfei and said:
"Xiao Han, Suosuo is a good girl with a kind heart, you must cherish her and protect her for the rest of your life.

The only thing a girl can rely on is her lover, I hope you can help her stop worrying about life, just like Pengfei's father did to grandma, he made me have nothing to worry about for the rest of my life! "

"Grandma, don't worry, I will cherish Suo Suo, and I will make her the happiest woman.

She suffered too much suffering and grievances before, and I will make up for her one by one in the future, and I guarantee her a lifetime of prosperity! "

Han Tao nodded in response. He knew that Grandma Jiang came from the feudal era. She came from a wealthy family. The definition of marriage is different from that of young people, and she has followed the rules all her life. Some old ideas can't be changed even if she wants to!
Hearing Han Tao's answer, Grandma Jiang nodded with a smile on her face and said:

"Okay, I'm relieved with your words. Come on, let's all start eating!"

"Don't worry, eat!"

Jiang Nansun patted Zhang Anren's hand, then glanced at grandma, and picked up the chopsticks with her lips curled up. She couldn't understand grandma's poor and fastidious gesture the most.

Zhu Suosuo smiled at Han Tao. In this atmosphere, she was afraid that Han Tao would be unhappy if she pulled him away.

In fact, Han Tao understood the old lady quite well. After all, Grandma Jiang came from a wealthy family. She lived in the bustling city center of Shanghai since she was a child.

She has the living habits of the upper class, but also has the temperament and self-cultivation of a lady, and is full of exquisiteness in every move.

For meals, a table should be filled with dishes, different dishes should be served on different plates, butterfly crisps must be eaten at international restaurants, ingredients for eight-treasure rice must be purchased at designated locations, bean paste must be peeled manually and cannot be used in a blender.
No matter when she was rich or when she was bankrupt, Grandma Jiang's aristocratic lady-like exquisiteness has not changed. This persistence and thought have already flowed in her blood.
