Let's get this straight in Chapter Fifty.
After hearing these words, the young people became even more excited.
After all, it's a gathering of young people! Who wants to bring elderly people and children who get in the way?
With them around, playing together feels awkward at all.
Qin Huairu had originally planned to bring her child along for a free meal.
But hearing Su Ting say that, he could only give up the idea.
"Brother, I'm already a mother of three, can I join?" She said, giving Su Ting a flirtatious wink.
Su Ting replied with a smile, "Of course, no problem! Our Sister Qin is not old at all."
Besides, we're not doing anything special; it's just young people sitting together chatting about everyday life and deepening their relationships.
After all, you can be considered a representative figure of the younger generation in our compound.
"That's right, where is our Sister Qin old? Let's all join in the fun!"
Seeing that everyone was very welcoming, Qin Huairu gladly joined in.
Looking back on her life, Qin Huairu realized that she had never truly lived for herself.
Before she got married, she had to help with chores at home. After marrying into the Jia family, she was responsible for washing clothes, cooking, and taking care of the children. She never had a chance to live a good life for herself.
Today, she decided to be willful for once.
"Okay, I'll send my three children to my uncle's house right away and ask them to take care of them."
Sister, you should relax today too.
Everyone else agreed and called the women in the house downstairs.
They prepared to go home to get their wine and told their families that they didn't need to prepare their own meals for the evening.
Yu Li and Yan Jiecheng discussed it on their way home and decided that they should bring two bottles of wine over tonight no matter what.
Otherwise, if everyone else brings wine to the banquet while the two of them just sit there eating, it would be too embarrassing.
After some discussion, it was decided that Yan Jiecheng would go to his father to borrow four yuan to buy two bottles of wine.
After I start working and earning money, I'll pay back the principal and interest to the third uncle.
Yan Jiecheng found the Third Uncle, intending to freeload a meal for him.
But when Yan Jiecheng said that Su Ting was only inviting the young people tonight and was determined not to let the elderly and children participate, the Third Uncle gave up the idea of freeloading.
Finally, Yan Jiecheng successfully borrowed four yuan on the condition that he would pay an extra yuan in interest when he repaid the money.
He Yushui originally planned to return to her room, thinking that Su Ting would not invite her to participate, since she was still in school. However, Su Ting stopped her.
"Rain, you shouldn't go back. Others go back to get the wine, how can I let a girl like you go and carry the wine too?"
Next year you'll graduate high school, you'll be an adult now, so just sit here and wait for your brother and the others to come back.
He Yushui was deeply moved by Su Ting's words. It turned out that Su Ting had specially kept her behind because he was worried that she would have no food to eat if she went back alone.
Just now, when Yan Jiecheng left, he mentioned asking if his younger brother could come over, but Su Ting refused.
"Brother Su Ting, thank you!"
"He Yushui's favorability towards you has increased by 8 points."
Seeing He Yushui's red-rimmed eyes, Su Ting smiled and shook his head.
"Rain, I know some things about your family."
If you ever get hungry in the future, just come find your brother Su Ting. I won't mind having an extra bowl and chopsticks.
Don't be embarrassed. Once you start working and earning money, just buy me more meat!
He Yushui couldn't hold back any longer and threw herself into Su Ting's arms, bursting into tears.
Since her father passed away, no one has ever cared for her so much.
Her own brother was completely devoted to the widow and never considered his sister's feelings.
Seeing the large amount of goodwill He Yushui provided, Su Ting realized that her emotional defenses had now been completely broken down.
If you say more caring words at this point, the favorability rating will likely continue to rise.
However, seeing He Yushui's heartbroken appearance, Su Ting ultimately chose to give up.
"Alright, Rain Water, stop crying. Remember, come anytime you're hungry, understand?"
Don't be embarrassed, quickly wipe away your tears. If someone comes and sees you, they might think I'm bullying you!
You certainly don't want them to misunderstand me, right?
Upon hearing Su Ting's words, He Yushui immediately held back her tears and began wiping them away.
She absolutely could not let anyone misunderstand that it was her brother Su Ting who had bullied her.
"I'll go to the kitchen to see what ingredients need to be washed, so that cooking will be faster later."
As Su Ting spoke, he got up and went into the kitchen, where he bought a large barrel of beer from his storage space.
He doesn't actually drink much alcohol; he prefers beer with his meals to strong spirits.
Especially in the hot summer, enjoying a barbecue while sipping an ice-cold beer is an incredibly pleasant experience!
Seeing Su Ting enter the kitchen, He Yushui quickly got up and followed him in.
"Brother Su Ting, I'll help too. My dad and brother are both chefs, so I'm pretty good at chopping and preparing vegetables."
"Then I'll trouble you. Go to the refrigerator and get a chicken, along with the gizzards, offal, and pork."
Tonight we'll make spicy chicken, stir-fried chicken giblets, stir-fried chicken gizzards, plus braised pork with glass noodles and scrambled eggs—that'll be a complete meal.
He Yushui took the ingredients out of the refrigerator and returned to the kitchen to speak.
"Brother Su Ting, isn't this too lavish? We haven't eaten this well even during the Chinese New Year."
"Haha! This is nothing. You should come often in the future. If you don't eat well, how can you live up to the high salary the factory pays me?"
"Hehe! Then I'll come every day from now on. I hope Brother Su Ting won't regret it."
"How could that be! It's so boring for me to eat alone! With a beautiful girl like you keeping me company, I can eat two more bowls!"
"Brother Su Ting, are you telling the truth? Am I really pretty?"
"Of course, she's already very beautiful just by looking at her face."
"Brother Su Ting, you're so mean."
"Ha ha!"
And so, Su Ting chatted with He Yushui while washing vegetables and preparing ingredients, and bursts of cheerful laughter occasionally rang out between the two.
If someone who didn't know the inside story saw this scene, they would definitely mistake them for siblings!
At that moment, Su Ting suddenly noticed a person squatting at the gate of the courtyard, constantly picking up stones and throwing them on the ground.
What's going on here? Big hammers cost eighty yuan, small ones cost forty yuan, and you don't even have a hammer, yet you're having a blast smashing things?
After handing the kitchen over to He Yushui, Su Ting planned to go out and see what was going on.
Unexpectedly, as soon as they entered the living room, they saw Xu Damao and Yan Jiecheng walking in from outside the courtyard with their arms around each other's shoulders.
Three men, each holding two bottles of liquor.
Lou Xiao'e carried some pastries in her hands, following Qin Huairu and Yu Li, the three of them walking behind the three men.
Xu Damao and Shazhu chatted idly as they walked.
After everyone entered the living room and put their things on the table, Sha Zhu spoke up.
"Brother Su, what dishes are you planning to cook tonight? Let me know and I'll start cooking now."
"Rain is busy in the kitchen! The vegetables are all prepared inside, you can go over and help her prepare them."
The others can sit down, have some tea, and chat. The dishes have all been prepared and will be ready in a bit.
As he spoke, Su Ting led Sha Zhu into the kitchen, while the others in the living room sat scattered on the sofa and chatted.
Su Ting walked out of the kitchen again and asked the person on the sofa.
"By the way, when you came back from outside, did you know who that person squatting at the door was?"
It's getting dark, why isn't he going home for dinner?
Upon hearing Su Ting's question, Qin Huairu eagerly answered.
"That's Liu Guangtian from the second uncle's house in the backyard. He probably ran away because he was wronged at home."
Xu Damao continued, "You don't even need to guess to know that he must have been beaten up by Second Uncle again."
Guangfu is a coward and doesn't dare to run away; Guangtian must have abandoned his brother and slipped away himself.
"Da Mao, don't talk nonsense. If Second Uncle hears you saying such things, he'll definitely cause you trouble."
Lou Xiao'e patted Xu Damao a little angrily after hearing his words.
If these words reach the ears of the second uncle, they will definitely cause him trouble.
"Oh, then how about this? I'll go and call him over to have dinner together."
