When Wanwan meets

It was already around ten o'clock when the Shi family arrived in Su City. Plus, after driving all the way here, it was already noon when they arrived at the Jiang family, so it was also lunch time.

Originally, the Jiang family planned to host a dinner at Songhelou in the city to let the Shi family taste the specialties of Suzhou, but Grandma Shi didn't want to go to such trouble.

If this is a family dinner, we can just eat some Suzhou specialties at home. Why go through so much trouble?

This characteristic farmhouse courtyard is quiet and peaceful, and very suitable for chatting. It is much better than that big restaurant!

Although Grandma Shi said so, Mother Jiang couldn't really eat anything she wanted. She spent a lot of money to hire a chef who specializes in traditional Suzhou dishes to cook at home.

I also prepared some special dishes from my own farm house. Although I didn’t eat out, I put a lot of thought into it.

They were divided into three or four tables before they sat down. The adults sat at one table to talk, the younger generation headed by Shi Li sat at one table, and the others sat at separate tables.

Jiang Wan and Shi Yu sat next to each other, Jiang Yun sat next to Jiang Wan, and Jiang Cheng originally wanted to sit next to his sister, but Shi Li sat down first.

Now Jiang Wan and Shi Yu are sitting together, Shi Li and Jiang Yun are sitting together, Jiang Cheng and Jiang Huai are sitting together...

Jiang Cheng looked at this strange combination, no matter how he looked at it, it felt awkward...

Judging from the eldest brother of the Shi family who came in, although he was quiet, he was polite and considerate.

At least until they sat down to eat, Jiang Cheng didn't think he did anything special.

But he sat next to his sister again. Was it really a coincidence?

Alas! Poor Jiang Cheng, there is no such thing as coincidence, it is just human nature!

Jiang Yun looked at Shi Li who was sitting next to her and felt a little stressed during this meal (＞﹏＜). She looked at Jiang Cheng for help, but Jiang Cheng was helpless at this time.

Shi Li is the guest today, and I can't ask him to get up. That would be so impolite.

He gave his sister a reassuring look and told her to eat well.

Shi Yu, on the other hand, knew his brother too well. Based on his many years of experience with his elder brother, he knew that his brother was in the pre-hunting state, approaching without making any noise and then hitting the target with one strike.

But this is definitely not the case for Jiang Yun. From the looks of it, she seems to be planning to take it step by step.

But looking at Jiang Yun sitting next to his brother, and feeling "on pins and needles", Shi Yu thought it was interesting, really too interesting, and was just waiting to see his brother get humiliated... He really wanted to laugh out loud...

I looked back at my brother-in-law next to me and felt that he was indeed a bit pitiful...

At this time, the dishes were served one after another. They were basically Suzhou local dishes, including chicken head rice sweet beans, squirrel mandarin fish, shrimp sweet beans...

There are also Suzhou's most distinctive crab meat dumplings, crab meat tofu, and Jiangnan pickled pork with preserved vegetables...

The purple clay braised pork, Su's chicken soup, free-range chicken and fresh abalone that men love to eat are all Suzhou specialties.

This is the time when crabs are the fattest, so we steamed a few baskets of hairy crabs. They are fresh, fragrant and smooth, leaving a lingering fragrance on our lips and teeth.

The hairy crab shell was relatively hard at this time. Shi Yu skillfully broke open the crab shell, removed the dirt, and then handed it to Jiang Wan.

Let her slurp the crab roe herself and experience the freshness and fragrance of the crab roe.

Although Shi Li doesn't know how to get along with girls, he has amazing observation skills.

Seeing his brother being a role model, he followed suit and handed the peeled crab directly to Jiang Yun.

(Forgive him! He really doesn’t know how to get along with girls. After all, the army is full of rough dudes.)

Jiang Yun looked at the crab that Shi Li handed over, and politely took it, saying softly: "Thank you! Brother Shi, you don't have to take care of me, eat it yourself."

Shi Li felt like fireworks were going off in his heart when he heard Jiang Yun's caring words, but he pretended to be calm on his face and didn't show it at all.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Shi Li whispered to Jiang Yun, "I don't know which are our Suzhou specialties. Can you introduce them to me?"

In fact, Shi Li is really not picky about what he eats. Whether he is in the army or on a mission, he just focuses on eating enough and doesn't pay too much attention to details.

But now, in order to talk to Jiang Yun, I have to find some excuses.

Jiang Yun felt that she was also half the host, so she used the serving chopsticks to serve Shi Li several Suzhou specialties and then said to Shi Li:

"Brother Shi, try these dishes. They are all Suzhou local dishes, but the taste is light. I don't know if you are used to eating them."

Listening to Jiang Yun calling him "Brother Shi" in a tender and gentle voice and adding more dishes to his plate, Shi Li felt that even if the dish had no taste, he would still find it delicious.

What tastes good is not the food, but your happy mood.

The crab roe dumplings were still quite hot when they came, but they were indeed very delicious when they were a little hotter.

Jiang Yun handed Shi Li a straw and told him, "Brother Shi, poke a small hole in the dumpling, put the straw in, and then suck it gently, and you can taste the delicious crab roe."

Shi Li looked at Jiang Yun who was demonstrating to him seriously. His voice was soft and peaceful. He was stunned, but he came back to his senses in an instant.

Jiang Yun's voice came to my ears again: "Brother Shi, have you learned it?"

Seeing Jiang Yun looking at him with her willow-browed and almond-shaped eyes, Shi Li's eyes gradually deepened. He unconsciously pursed his lips, his Adam's apple moved slightly, and replied: "I got it. Thank you, Miss Jiang Yun."

"It feels a bit strange to always call you Miss Jiang Yun. Can I follow your brother and call you Yun Yun from now on?"

Shi Li asked seriously and politely.

Shi Li's tone was too serious and solemn, and Jiang Yun didn't hear anything unusual. It was indeed always Miss Jiang Yun, and calling her Miss Jiang Yun was indeed a little awkward.

With the relationship between the Jiang family and the Shi family, calling her Yunyun was acceptable, so Jiang Yun agreed.

After Jiang Yun agreed, Shi Li's mouth curled up slightly, but soon returned to normal.

I've made another step forward. At least I'm not so afraid of myself anymore.

After dinner, the weather was not so hot anymore, so Jiang's mother asked Jiang Cheng to take a few people out for a walk. Since they had finally come here, they might as well go and see the surrounding scenery.

In the golden autumn of October, the golden osmanthus trees on both sides of the road in the village are in bloom, and the whole village is filled with the fragrance of osmanthus, which is overbearing and rich.

Smelling the rich fragrance of osmanthus, Jiang Wan took Jiang Yun's hand and said, "Sister, let's go pick osmanthus flowers together. I'll ask Aunt Qing to make some osmanthus ointment and honey osmanthus tea for us to use when we get back."

Listening to her sister's suggestion, Jiang Yun readily agreed that the ointment made by Aunt Qing would reduce the strong fragrance of osmanthus and make it fresher.

But it is long-lasting and smells good, and both girls like it very much.

The two people were discussing in the unique dialect of Suzhou. The little girl's voice was delicate, coquettish, sweet and moving. The two brothers of the Shi family stood on both sides and watched their discussion with a smile.

Although they don't understand what is being said, it doesn't stop them from thinking it sounds good.

Two people each took two small flower baskets, but they were taken by the two brothers of the Shi family. They walked towards the largest osmanthus tree by the lake.

Jiang Cheng felt that things were gradually moving in a strange direction...
