Chapter 394

Lu Xiaoya tilted her head and thought for a moment, "No need to go to the agency. Our editor-in-chief told me to only run this one thing this afternoon. How about this: let's go buy some vegetables together, go home and cook ourselves. My parents will be back after they finish cooking."

Su Xinghui nodded and said, "Fine."

The two went to a nearby vegetable market together, bought some vegetables, including fish, meat, green vegetables, and tofu, and Lu Xiaoya happily took Su Xinghui home.

Lu Xiaoya's grandmother was the only one at home in the Lu family now. She was sitting in the living room watching TV. After Su Xinghui entered the door, he called out, "Grandma, your complexion is much better now!"

Grandma Lu looked at Su Xinghui with some doubt, "Whose child is this? Why are you calling me Grandma?"

Lu Xiaoya smiled, "Grandma, this is Su Xinghui, who has been to our house several times. By the way, the Dr. Yu who treated your illness is his uncle-in-law."

Once Dr. Yu was mentioned, Grandma Lu beamed with joy, "Is this Dr. Yu's nephew? I remember now. Once when I was seeing a doctor at Dr. Yu's, I saw you once. You are truly a good child."

Su Xinghui said, "Grandma, is your illness any better now?"

Grandma Lu nodded with a smile, "Much better. Now I can walk by myself and do some housework. It's all thanks to your uncle-in-law; he gives me acupuncture once every week."

Su Xinghui said, "It's great that your condition has improved."

Grandma Lu said, "Then you eat at my house today."

Lu Xiaoya said, "Grandma, he is eating at home today. I told my parents at noon, and they said they would come back after work."

Grandma Lu nodded with a smile, "That's good."

Lu Xiaoya said, "Grandma, then we'll go into the kitchen to cook."

Grandma was anxious, "You're letting Little Su go in to cook too? Little Su is a guest; why let him cook?"

Lu Xiaoya said, "Grandma, Su Xinghui doesn't count as an outsider. Didn't you hear that Dad heard he was coming and is coming back for dinner tonight?"

Su Xinghui smiled and said, "Grandma, it's fine. It's nothing for me to help Xiaoya cook."

Su Xinghui followed Lu Xiaoya into the kitchen. Grandma looked at their backs and muttered to herself, "Doesn't count as an outsider?"

She couldn't help but laugh.

The two entered the kitchen. Su Xinghui was busy killing fish and cutting meat, while Lu Xiaoya picked the green vegetables. While picking vegetables, she looked at Su Xinghui, who was focused on killing the fish, and couldn't help but purse her lips and smile, her smile full of happiness.

Su Xinghui took action and made a table full of dishes. While he was cooking, Song Qiaoli returned home. She smelled the fragrance of the dishes in the kitchen, went to the kitchen to take a look, and saw it was Su Xinghui cooking. She smiled and said, "Xinghui is here, and you are cooking. Then I have a treat today."

Su Xinghui shouted "Auntie Song" while stir-frying.

Lu Xiaoya said coquettishly, "Mom, does this mean the food I cook isn't delicious?"

Song Qiaoli said, "Fine, fine, fine, the food you cook is also delicious, okay?"

Lu Xiaoya said, "That's more like it."

Song Qiaoli laughed and went to the living room, not disturbing the two young people.

After a while, Lu Zhenghong also returned. He put down his bag and asked Song Qiaoli with some surprise, "Old Song, why didn't you cook today? Who is cooking? Did Xiaoya get off work early again?"

Song Qiaoli said, "Xiaoya is back, but it's not Xiaoya cooking; it's Xinghui cooking."

Lu Zhenghong asked, "Xinghui is here? But does he know how to cook?"

Song Qiaoli said, "Of course he knows how to cook. His skills are very good. I ate the food he cooked the first time I went to Wild Boar Ditch to collect bamboo weaving. That taste is absolutely no worse than the chefs in big restaurants. You have a treat today."

Lu Zhenghong smiled and said, "Fine, then I'll wait to eat something delicious."

Just at this moment, Lu Xiaoya brought out two plates of dishes and said, "The delicious food is here!"

She placed the dishes on the dining room table. She saw Lu Zhenghong and said happily, "Dad, you're back. Come eat quickly. This is the food Xinghui cooked; it's very delicious."

Lu Zhenghong laughed, went to wash his hands, and then sat at the dining table. Song Qiaoli also helped Grandma Lu to the table to sit down.

Su Xinghui and Lu Xiaoya brought all the dishes to the table, then washed their hands, took off their aprons, and sat at the dining table, calling out "Uncle Lu". Lu Zhenghong smiled and said, "I didn't expect you, this talented person, to know how to cook? This is truly rare."

Su Xinghui said, "Uncle Lu is too kind. I don't count as a talented person, but there were quite a few talented people in ancient times who knew how to cook, like Su Dongpo, who didn't he create a famous Dongpo pork?"

Lu Zhenghong said, "Come to think of it, that is your Su family's ancestor. He was indeed a great talented person, and the Dongpo pork he made has also been passed down through the ages. Fine, I'll taste how the food made by this little talented person is."

Lu Zhenghong first tasted a piece of braised pork made by Su Xinghui. This braised pork was cut into small square pieces about an inch in size, cooked until crystal clear, with a rich sauce, and looked very tempting. Lu Zhenghong chewed the piece of meat, and everyone looked at his expression.
