"Sit here." Xu Erniang patted the seat between herself and Xu Dalang enthusiastically.

Lu Yi nodded to the three brothers and sisters, then hugged Mrs. Gan's fists, then lifted up his clothes and sat down between them.

When Wang Pingping saw that everyone was seated, she waved her hand, and the New Year's Eve dinner began.

The elders at the next table were having a great time drinking and eating meat, and the atmosphere in Xu Yue's youth group was also very good.

The round table has two layers, the lower layer is made of wooden boards, and the upper layer is a rotating glass table with ball bearings. Zhao Adou was so playful that he couldn't help but stretch out his hand to shake the table.

Just as Lu Yi was about to move his chopsticks, the large porcelain plate filled with meat slipped from his hands. Even though he was always calm, he still raised his eyebrows in surprise.

"Adou!" Mrs. Gan shouted and took Adou's little hand off the table.

Xu Yue and Xu Erniang looked at each other, and the two sisters laughed.

Lu Yi felt that these two people were making fun of him, but he seemed to have misunderstood them.

At least the Xu sisters are different from the cunning Xu Da and the powerful Wang Pingping.

Xu Yue took the initiative to persuade Lu Yi to cook, and then quickly demonstrated the process of making hot pot without leaving any trace before Lu Yi took action.

Xu Erniang was standing next to her and loudly said what kind of food was the best.

Such obvious kindness made Lu Yi's tense nerves relax a lot, and his tense shoulders relaxed.

The adults drink, and the teenagers also have their own drinks.

The light yellow slurry, served in a beautiful glass pot, is a sweet syrup made from frozen pears.

Lu Yi took a sip and found it sweet, icy and cold. He raised his handsome eyebrows and said, "It tastes good!"

Lu Yi discovered that the Xu family's wealth was completely different from that of other aristocratic families.

They did not have countless servants, nor did they build luxurious houses. There were no rockeries, flowing water, or exotic flowers and plants in the courtyards. Even the hair ornaments on the heads of the women of the Xu family were very simple, not as gorgeous as pearls and emeralds.

However, they used priceless glass to paste up the windows, the people who ate with them all had sets of delicate white porcelain dishes, and the water they used were all exquisite glasses.

And the material he wears is not gorgeous, but it is a cotton coat that no one has ever seen outside. It is light and warm.

If one word were needed to describe Lu Yi's first impression of the Xu family, it would be 'low-key luxury'.

Would such a Xu family really be willing to be a favored minister under Gongsun Zan?

While Lu Yi was thinking, he imitated Xu Yue's actions and ironed himself a thin piece of fat lamb roll, dipped it in some minced garlic, and put it into his mouth. Before chewing, a strong aroma exploded on the tip of his tongue.

In one gulp, he swallowed a piece of fat and thin meat.

This didn’t taste very good. Lu Yi immediately ordered another piece, then the third piece, the fourth piece...he finished the whole plate in one go!

Xu Dalang was unhappy. When Lu Yi put his chopsticks on the plate in front of him, Xu Dalang took out his chopsticks and picked out Lu Yi's chopsticks.

Um?

Lu Yi seemed to have just noticed that there was a silent Xu Dalang sitting next to him. He turned his head and met Xu Dalang's angry black eyes, like those of a predatory beast.

Lu Yi was startled, and a fighting spirit that he had never expected suddenly surged up from the bottom of his heart!

Lu Yi stretched out his hand again.

Xu Dalang blocks!

Lu Yi avoided it with his backhand and stretched out his chopsticks through the gap.

Xu Dalang suppressed his chopsticks with one chopstick!

Lu Yi twitched hard, but for the first time there was no twitch. He looked at Xu Dalang in surprise, and Xu Dalang snorted coldly at him, refusing to give in at all.

Lu Yi's eyes narrowed, and he realized that he had met a powerful enemy!

Xu Dalang looked at him silently, but he didn't expect that his strength was so amazing. He mobilized all his strength, but he couldn't move the chopsticks at all.

Seeing that the atmosphere between the two young men was gradually getting uncomfortable, Xu Yue slammed a brand new plate of pork belly in front of Lu Yi.

He glanced at his brother Xu Dalang, he was a guest, so he should be polite.

Only then did Xu Dalang make a sound, let go of his chopsticks, wrapped his hands around the fat sheep roll in front of him, and monopolized it.

No one dared to compete with him for food, except Xu Yue.

Xu Yue took a large piece of fat lamb rolls from Xu Dalang's plate and put them into the pot to cook, one bite at a time. However, Xu Dalang just looked at her with a smile on his face and eyes.

However, when Xu Erniang reached out, she had a completely different attitude. Xu Dalang immediately stopped his smile and knocked down Xu Erniang's chopsticks unceremoniously.

It was obvious that he was merciful, and Xu Erniang was able to escape without being hit.

Lu Yi looked at the three brothers and sisters with great interest, and suddenly felt that the Xu family brothers and sisters were quite interesting.

Moreover, the pork belly is also delicious, not worse than the fat lamb rolls.

The Xu family's offerings always overturned his previous perceptions. The pork belly sliced ​​from the pig actually had no smell at all, and the meat was plumper than what he usually ate.

Lu Yi enjoyed the New Year's Eve dinner at the Xu family so much that even his homesickness faded away.

Xu Da and others at the main table were drunk. They gathered together and talked about their deep brotherly love for each other, which was true or false.

Wang Pingping held the wine glass and looked at them quietly with a smile on her lips.

After three rounds of drinks, Mrs. Gan hugged the sleepy Adou and said goodbye first.

Xu Yue stood up and saw Lu Yi looking tired, so she offered to send him to the guest room to rest.

Lu Yi was shocked, the Xu family's daughter was so bold!

Or does she have other thoughts?

But looking at Xu Yue's clear eyes, I was relieved to think that it was not impossible for Wang Pingping, a female general, to raise such a bold daughter who would not stick to trivial matters.

"Excuse me." Lu Yi clasped his fists politely.

Xu Yue shook her head and told him to be polite.

He raised his hand as a sign of invitation, motioning for Lu Yi to follow him, and led him to the guest room in the backyard.

As he walked, he said: "In our family, only Ada and Aer are helping to run errands. There are no servants to come and serve. All the toiletries are ready and placed in the guest room. There is a charcoal stove in the house. There is a well outside the door. If you want to drink hot water,

, little general, you have to do it yourself."

Lu Yi nodded, indicating that he understood. The young man who could march with the army thought this was nothing.

There is only one doubt in his mind now.

The two of them had arrived at the door of the guest room. Xu Yue stopped and pointed to the room in front, "This is it."

"Thank you." Lu Yi thanked him, but did not enter the room immediately. He glanced at Xu Yue and hesitated.

Xu Yue raised her eyebrows and asked, "What else is there?"

Lu Yi asked in confusion: "Miss Xu, have we met before?"

He always felt that Xu Yue was a bit unreasonably friendly to him, and she always stared at him, giving him a strange feeling - not like a girl, but friendly and taking care of every aspect of him.

He had only experienced this look from his deceased grandmother, like a female elder looking lovingly at the younger members of the clan.

"No." Xu Yue smiled, shook her head, turned and left.
