Li Jie pondered for a moment before nodding, "Alright, I trust you."
The two chatted a bit more when enticing aromas began wafting from the kitchen. Ling Xuejiu set the table, bringing out bowl after bowl of sumptuous dishes, and called them to sit down. At that moment, Li Mengjie, with an apron tied around her, walked out. She approached Li Jie with a smile and urged, "Big bro, try my cooking."
"Sure thing," Li Jie replied, picking up a piece of braised pork and tasting it, then heaped praise, "This is really good, Xiao Jie, I didn't expect you'd learned to cook this well. When I go back, I'll definitely promote your skills. You'll take over the kitchen this New Year." After saying that, he turned to Leng Xuan, "Brother-in-law, you'll be blessed with good food in the future."
Leng Xuan gave an embarrassed smile, not joining the conversation, clearly feeling uneasy.
