It seems that you are going to flee from famine, don't be anxious or panic

When Ning Yan and Bai Lifen finished cooking, Sun Huzi and Huo Yu came home together.

At this time, all the food was brought to the living room, and the Ning family members also sat at the table, but they did not pick up their chopsticks for the time being.

Ning Yan turned his head and glanced at the two people coming in from the courtyard gate.

Huo? must have gone back to wash himself a little. Although he was still wearing the same clothes, his hair had been tied up with a headband, revealing his forehead and facial features.

If it weren't for his thinness that affected his appearance, this man could definitely be called tall and handsome.

After Sun Huzi handed the bowl in his hand to Ning Yan, Ning Yan stood up and filled a bowl of braised pork from the porcelain basin, then handed it back to him.

Sun Huzi took it and said with a smile, "Thank you, Brother Zheng."

Then he said hello to the Ning couple and went back happily with the bowl.

Then Ning Yan looked at Huo Yan and asked, "Where's your bowl?"

Huo looked embarrassed for a moment after hearing this. He had never come to someone's house to buy food like this before, so he forgot to bring a bowl.

Ning Yan saw the embarrassment on his face and raised his eyebrows quietly, but did not ask to lend him the bowl.

Huo Yan was embarrassed for a moment, then looked up and discussed with Ning Yan, "How about you lend me a bowl first? I'll wash it this afternoon and return it to you."

Ning Yan placed the wooden spoon in the porcelain basin upon hearing this, then bent down and sat on the chair. He then looked at Huo Yan and asked, "Have you cooked rice at home?"

After hearing what Ning Jian said, the Ning couple and Ning Lu were all confused. What happened to Jian'er (brother)?

If someone doesn't have a bowl, why don't you just lend him one? Borrowing bowls happens frequently in the village. Why don't you just ask him to return it when the time comes?

Even if you don't return it, a bowl is only worth a few cents. Why bother with this person?

Huo Yu raised his eyebrows and asked, "No rice?"

"One tael of silver for a bowl of meat, of course not including rice." Ning Yan said frankly.

Then he changed the subject and said to Huo Yu, "If you want, you can stay and eat with us. There's plenty of rice, and you can add an extra ounce of silver."

As soon as Ning Jian finished speaking, the three pairs of eyes in the house all looked at him in shock.

What's going on? Why is my brother inviting this strange man to dinner at his house?

Is this something that could actually happen?

Ning Yan ignored the three gazes from his family and looked at Huo Yan calmly, waiting for his answer.

After hearing this, Huo looked at Ning Yan with an inquiring look. He didn't know why a young man would invite a strange man whom he had only met twice to stay at his home for dinner.

His vigilant nature over the years made him suspect that the guy in front of him was trying to do something bad to him.

But the man in front of him had a clear gaze, without any scheming in his eyes. For a moment, Huo? was a little confused about what the man's purpose was.

Then he turned his gaze to the dishes on the table. There were three meat dishes on the table, one braised pork, a chicken cooked in some unknown way, another pork elbow, another stir-fried vegetables, and a soup.

Each dish was served with generous portions of white rice.

After pondering for a moment, he asked Ning Jian as if possessed by a ghost: "Do your parents agree?"

Upon hearing this, Ning Yan turned to look at Ning Chengyong and Bai Lifen and gave them a wink.

The Ning couple recovered from their shock and, upon seeing Ning Yan's expression, quickly nodded and looked at Huo Yan and said, "We agree. We agree."
