Finally, Jiang Zhiguan agreed to Zhang Lu's request to learn martial arts. She was so happy that she ran to the yard and shouted excitedly. Her happy voice could be heard in the house.
Chu Xia looked at Jiang Zhiguan and said, "Cousin, you are so kind to me and An An."
Among the people in the Jiang family that she had met, there was no one who didn't value her and An An. Especially towards An An, they were so nice to her that it made her feel pressured.
Jiang Zhiguan still looked carefree and said, "We are a family. Isn't it my duty to treat you well?"
She laughed heartily and said, "Actually, I also have selfish motives. Lulu has begged me for so long, so I'll let her and An'an have a chance to learn martial arts."
Jiang Zhiguan no longer had any hope of raising his daughter into a gentle and talented woman who was proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, so he just let her be.
We had lunch at Jiang's house. Aunt Li is a good cook and although the dishes she made were all home-cooked, they all tasted very good.
Especially one of the dishes, Chinese toon and tofu. The Chinese toon is fresh and tender, and the tofu is soft and smooth. The two are blended together with a little salt and sesame oil, it feels like eating the whole spring in your mouth.
Grandpa Jiang saw that Chuxia liked this dish and was very happy: "When eating spring food in spring, you must eat Chinese toon. Now is the time when Chinese toon is tender, otherwise it will be gone in a few days. Chuxia and An'an should eat more, and Zhiguan and Lulu should also eat some."
Jiang Zhiguan ate everything, and even ate Chinese toon with gusto, and even picked some for Zhang Lu to eat.
Zhang Lu wrinkled her nose and stepped back. She didn’t like eating Chinese toon because it tasted too weird.
Cen Huaian is not picky about food. He will eat anything that is edible. He doesn't think the Chinese toon mixed with tofu is bad. In fact, he finds it very fresh, with a different taste from other vegetables. He eats it with relish.
Zhang Lu doesn't want to waste food. Her parents and teachers have always told her not to waste food since she was a child. Her mother said that when she was a child, she wanted to eat these things but they were not available, so she was lucky enough not to go hungry.
She looked at it and didn't want to give the food to her mother, otherwise she would say she was picky about food. She turned her eyes to Cen Huaian, he was eating so happily!
Zhang Lu rolled his eyes, leaned closer to Cen Huaian, and asked him in a low voice: "Brother An An, can I give you the Chinese toon tofu?"
Cen Huaian looked at her and said nothing. Zhang Lu thought he was unwilling, so she frowned and was about to hold her breath and eat it herself.
Cen Huaian reached out his chopsticks and picked up the Chinese toon and tofu in her bowl and ate it.
Zhang Lu blinked his eyes and immediately broke into a big smile: "Brother An An, you are so nice!"
Chuxia noticed the little movements of the two people. A smile flashed across her eyes, and she used her chopsticks to pick up the food, pretending not to see it.
Grandpa Jiang was also in high spirits, and continued to serve Zhang Lu some Chinese toon mixed with tofu in a playful way: "Lulu has eaten it all, and it seems that she likes it very much. Eat more! An'an, eat too. I think your great-grandfather loves you guys, right?"
Zhang Lu looked at Grandpa Jiang seriously and said, "Grandpa, can you only love your brother An An now?"
She doesn't want the love of Chinese toon and tofu.
Grandpa Jiang and Jiang Zhiguan laughed out loud at her words, and Chuxia couldn't help laughing out loud.
Cen Huaian was only focused on eating. He looked at his mother, then at his great-grandmother and cousin, not understanding what they were laughing at.
However, he noticed the Chinese toon and tofu in Zhang Lu's bowl, so he picked it up and ate it again, then lowered his head to concentrate on eating. At the dinner table, eating is always the most important thing.
