1970s: Transmigrated into a cannon fodder female supporting character in a lucky koi novel!

Once the food was ready, Song Yu called out towards the coffee table, "Dinner's ready!"

In just a short while, Wen Guodong's gaze toward Lu Zechuan had changed from one of dismay to one of admiration.

Interrupted by Song Yu, Wen Guodong remembered that his original task was to give Lu Zechuan a hard time.

He coughed awkwardly, "Ahem~ Xiao Lu, let's eat first!"

"good!"

Lu Zechuan got up and went to the kitchen. "Hello, Auntie, my name is Lu Zechuan, and I'm Wen Li's boyfriend!"

Song Yu had a good first impression of Lu Zechuan. Putting aside his relationship with Wen Li, he was also Wen Xu's good brother, so he treated him very gently.

"Hey, Xiao Lu, come sit in the living room, the food will be ready soon!"

"Auntie, let me do it!" Lu Zechuan took the plate from Song Yu's hand.

"Watch out, it's hot!"

Wen Li looked at Lu Zechuan's serious expression and smiled slightly, as if he wasn't the one who had lost his composure that afternoon.

Once the food was ready, Wen Xu pulled Lu Zechuan to sit next to him, while Wen Li sat on Lu Zechuan's other side.

Wen Yang: I feel like I'm being ostracized!

Wen Guodong specially brought out a bottle of wine.

"Xiao Lu, want a couple of sips?"

"Okay, have a couple of drinks with your uncle!" Lu Zechuan picked up the bottle and filled Wen Guodong's glass first, then Wen Xu's.

"Drink less, Lu just got off the train, don't get drunk!"

Lu Zechuan: "Auntie, it's okay, I'll have a couple of drinks with Uncle!"

"Come on, let's have the first drink! Welcome, Xiao Lu!"

Wen Li ignored Lu Zechuan, whose alcohol tolerance was much better than Wen Guodong's; it was uncertain who would get drunk!

While drinking and chatting with Wen Guodong, Lu Zechuan would occasionally pick food for Wen Li.

Seeing that he was only focused on drinking, Wen Li also put some food into his bowl.

The two's subtle movements did not escape Song Yu's eyes; she observed Lu Zechuan's every move discreetly.

Lu Zechuan didn't talk much, but what he said was meaningful. He spoke clearly and logically, and his eyes were clear yet firm. It was obvious that he wasn't the kind of person with a dark mind!

Song Yu used to think that Wen Li was too naive and kind. She was like a dodder vine, needing to rely on a big tree to survive.

But over the past two days, she has witnessed Wen Li's changes. Wen Li now has a clear plan for her future, acts in an orderly manner, and can live well without relying on anyone.

Looking at it this way, she and Lu Zechuan seem to be a good match.

So the more she looked at Lu Zechuan, the more satisfied she became, and she smiled as she picked up a chicken leg and put it in Lu Zechuan's bowl.

"Xiao Lu, stop talking and eat!"

Song Yu's action indicated her approval of Lu Zechuan, and Wen Guodong and Wen Xu both looked at Song Yu with puzzled expressions.

Wen Guodong's accusing gaze seemed to say: Didn't you ask me to play the good cop and test you properly? Why did you betray me?

Song Yu completely ignored Wen Guodong and put both chicken wings into Wen Li's bowl.

"These are your favorite chicken wings, Mom specially saved them for you. Eat them quickly, they'll get cold!"

Lu Zechuan took in the changes in the family's expressions and knew that he had passed the test of his future mother-in-law. He was overjoyed, but he remained calm on the surface and continued drinking with Wen Guodong, only the smile in his eyes deepened.

By the end, Wen Guodong was completely unconscious, but Lu Zechuan was still sober. After Wen Xu and Wen Yang carried Wen Guodong back to his room, Lu Zechuan diligently helped clean up the dishes.

"Xiao Lu, you've drunk quite a bit. Go have some honey water and rest for a while. Auntie can take care of things here!"

Wen Li: "Mom, just let him show off! He washed the dishes so well!"

Song Yu was furious at Wen Li's carefree attitude. She had said that Wen Li had improved, but she was still so unreliable!

"You silly child! Lu is a guest, how can we let him wash the dishes? Go make some honey water for your dad and the others!"

"Auntie, it's alright, I can do the dishes! You go and take care of Uncle!"

At Lu Zechuan's insistence, Song Yu was kicked out of the kitchen, leaving only Wen Li and Lu Zechuan there.

Once Lu Zechuan saw that no one was in the living room, he whispered, "How was my performance just now?"

"That's good, I can tell my mom has a very good impression of you!"

"Isn't this like a mother-in-law looking at her son-in-law and becoming more and more satisfied?"

"Yes, yes, you should be secretly happy!"

Lu Zechuan grinned so wide his eight teeth were almost showing. "I'm openly laughing!"

The next day, when Wen Li got up, Lu Zechuan and Wen Xu were nowhere to be seen. Only Wen Yang was left at home, fiddling with something on the coffee table.

"Yangyang, where's your brother Lu?"

"Dad took him to the military base, saying he wanted him to show off his skills against everyone!"

Wen Li: "Alright! The test isn't over yet!"

Wen Xu put down his pen. "I've left breakfast in the pot for you, I'll go get it for you!"

"good!"

After breakfast, Wen Li rode her bicycle out of the compound. In the southern winter, there were still fresh vegetables, so Wen Li took the opportunity to take out some seasonal vegetables and fruits from her space.

It's the dead of winter now, and the only fruits available this season are apples and oranges.

Then, taking the opportunity, I took out some fresh mutton, planning to have mutton hot pot for dinner.

When she returned, Wen Xu and Lu Zechuan had already come back.

Both men had injuries on their faces, and one of them was rolling an egg on his face, making him look rather pitiful.

"Did you guys go off to fight?"

Wen Xu's movements aggravated his wounds. "Ouch! Dad has no sportsmanship, letting over a dozen people attack us!"

Wen Li walked closer to examine them; they were all superficial wounds, but they looked rather serious. "What was the result?"

"Of course we won!" Wen Xu glared at Lu Zechuan, dissatisfied. "He said he was testing him, but I ended up getting beaten up along with him!"

Lu Zechuan smiled and put down the eggs. "I'll treat you to dinner as an apology!"

"Okay, but we have to go to the Peace Hotel!"

Before Wen Li could even refuse, Lu Zechuan agreed.

"no problem!"

Wen Yang: "Brother, you're so heartless!"

Wen Li nodded in agreement, "When you bring your sister-in-law back, we'll extort a lot of money from you too!"

Wen Xu picked up a cushion and threw it at Wen Yang, saying, "So you're siding with outsiders now?"

Wen Li feigned concern and said, "Lu Zechuan's bankbook is in my hands. He's penniless, so won't I be the one to foot the bill?"

Wen Xu looked at Lu Zechuan with a complicated expression. "Really?"

Lu Zechuan looked at Wen Xu with a sincere expression, "Xiao Li gave me some pocket money, enough for a meal!"

Wen Xu's expression became even more complicated. "Then forget it, let's go to the state-run restaurant!"

Wen Li and Lu Zechuan exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with the smiles of triumphant cunning.

Seeing their expressions, Wen Xu instantly realized he'd been tricked. "Oh! You two teamed up to fool me!"

"Haha, bro, Lu Zechuan really gave me all the money he had on him, I'm not lying to you!"

The siblings didn't cook lunch; they went straight to a state-run restaurant.

After finishing their meal, Lu Zechuan and Wen Li went to the state-run store.

He came in a hurry and hadn't had time to prepare gifts for the Wen family. Taking this opportunity, he picked out suitable gifts for the whole family.
