Chapter 827: Meals
After getting off the plane, Xiao Lingye introduced his master and CEO Lei to his parents.
Father Xiao immediately said happily, “Master Lei, welcome, welcome. You must be tired from the journey. Let’s go home and chat!”
Lei Junshan was also slightly surprised that Xiao Lingyu and her brother’s parents were still so young.
Xiao Lingyu and her brother were both in their twenties and thirties, and their parents were at least in their forties and fifties. However, looking at them now, they seemed to be in their thirties, similar to his age.
Lei Zongze was also quite surprised that Xiao Lingye’s parents were so young.
He did not expect that bastard to have such young parents.
Looking at the kind smiles on their faces, Lei Zongze, who had lost his parents since young, felt a faint sense of envy.
“This must be Xiao Lei!” Father Xiao noticed the slight disappointment on Lei Zongze’s face and immediately greeted him warmly, “Child, welcome to Taoyuan Village. Come to our house!”
Lei Zongze was still polite to his elders. He smiled and called out, “Uncle, Auntie!”
Mother Xiao said happily, “Xiao Lei, you are so sensible and polite!”
Lei Zongze’s face turned a little red.
Mother Xiao continued, “Xiao Lei, in the future, you must treat this place as your own home. Don’t stand on ceremony.”
“Okay, Auntie!” Lei Zongze nodded.
“Alright, let’s go home first. It’s so late. You must be hungry. Let’s go home and eat!” Mother Xiao pulled lei Zongze and said with a smile.
Lei Zongze felt Mother Xiao’s soft hands. His whole body seemed a little stiff, and his movements were a little slow.
‘She is so warm and kind. Is this a mother’s love?’
Then, Lei Zongze followed a group of people to the Xiao family in a trance.
The Xiao family’s house was an old house with additional floors. After a new renovation, it looked like a very exquisite and beautiful farm yard. There were many flowers and plants planted in the yard and on the wall.
When Lei Zongze stepped into the yard, he suddenly smelled a burst of fragrance that woke him up.
“What is this smell? It smells so good.” Lei Junshan asked curiously.
“This is the smell of food!” Father Xiao said cheerfully.
“How can it smell so good? I can smell it from afar!” Lei Zongze said in surprise.
“Taoyuan Village is actually famous for its food. So, it smells quite fragrant.” Xiao Lingye said without any exaggeration, “CEO Lei, when it’s meal time, remember to be polite.”
Lei Zongze, “…” what’s that warning for?
The group of people entered the house. Inside, some elders were sitting.
However, when they saw these old ladies and grandpas with glowing red faces and shiny black hair, the Lei brothers were once again surprised.
Xiao Lingye introduced them one by one. “Master, this is my grandparents. This is Grandpa Gong. This is my aunt…”
Lei Zongze was curious. He asked in a low voice, “Your grandparents look so young. How old are they? Are they 60?”
If they had a grandson as old as Xiao Lingyu and Xiao Lingyu at the age of 60, they would have gotten married very early.
Xiao Lingye replied, “Grandpa and Grandma are already 76 and 77, but Grandpa Gong is in his 80s!”
Lei Zongze was stunned when he heard that. He exclaimed, “No way! They look so young!” He found it unbelievable.
Xiao Lingye smiled and said, “With a good mentality, they will naturally be young!”
“Come, Xiao Lei, sit!” Father Xiao called Lei Zongze to sit at the dining table and said, “We’ve prepared a few simple dishes to welcome you all. Master Lei, Xiao Lei, you’re our guests. Don’t be too polite.”
Lei Junshan smiled and said, “Alright.”
As he smelled the fragrance of the dishes on the table, he began to drool.
Lei Junshan suddenly remembered that Green Fresh supermarket in the capital city was owned by Gong Tianhao’s wife. The things sold in that supermarket were very different. Other than the taste being very good, there were many other effects. Eating them for a long period of time could strengthen the body. Plus, the taste was indeed unforgettable. It was no wonder that even the people in the upper circles of the capital had sent people to line up every day to buy them.
However, when they smelled the dishes on the table, the Lei brothers couldn’t wait to eat them.
But they were guests, and the host hadn’t started yet. Moreover, there were many elders at the table.
“Master Lei and Xiao Lei must be tired from the journey. They must be hungry. Let’s eat first. After we finish eating, We’ll talk!” Grandpa Xiao said with a smile.
Since Grandpa Xiao had spoken, everyone naturally started to eat.
Lei Junshan did not stand on ceremony. Instead, he picked up the nearest dish in front of him and put it in his mouth. The dish was braised rabbit meat.
“Wow, it smells so good!” Lei Zongze took the first bite and could not help but exclaim, “What kind of meat is this? It’s so delicious!”
Mother Xiao said with a smile, “This is red braised rabbit meat! Xiao Lei, if you like it, eat more.”
At this moment, Xiao Lingye suggested, “Master, CEO Lei, try the vegetarian dishes. They taste even better!”
“Really?!” Lei Zongze was suspicious of Xiao Lingye’s words.
He had never heard of hosts offering vegetarian dishes over meat dishes. Out of courtesy, most of the owners would advise their guests to eat meat.
It was a bit weird.
Of course, the Lei brothers did not think that Xiao Lingye was such a rude and uneducated person.
Therefore, the two brothers simultaneously grabbed the vegetable dish closest to them. It was fried cabbage. When the cabbage leaf entered their mouths, their eyes widenedin disbelief.
‘Damn, this vegetable dish is indeed better than meat dishes.’ As soon as it entered their mouths, a refreshing fragrance rushed into their throats. The fatigue of sitting on the plane for more than two hours seemed to have been swept away. Their mind cleared.
The most important thing was that when they ate this dish, they felt the warmth and happiness of this family. For some reason, the two brothers felt a bitter and envious feeling in their hearts.
After that, the two brothers did not stand on ceremony with the host and began to eat the dishes in large mouthfuls.
Then, they ate until their bellies were round and full.
