The family of five sat across the huge dining table and enjoyed the sumptuous dinner prepared by Chen Yi and Li Shanguaan.
"Mother, how do I feel that today's dishes are even better than previous times you cooked for us all?" Li Yuan said wolfing down succulent braised pork.
"Don't speak with food in your mouth!' Li Shanguaan berated. After glaring at her son and being satisfied with his manners, she faced Chen Yi with all smiles.
Li Yuan felt his heart ache at the disparity. He could only suppress his jealousy with the sumptuous dinner.
"Here, Yi'er eat more. After all, if not for you how could I have managed to finish cooking all these things in time?" She continued putting food into Chen Yi's place.
With the absence of grandfather Li, the atmosphere was much more relaxed. Also, with the assortment of all sorts of delicious food, everyone's appetite was enhanced and they ate to their fill.
