Li Lian immediately put down her bowl and chopsticks upon hearing this, then walked into the kitchen to get busy.
After entering the house, Gu Sheng placed the food and wine on the table, then raised his voice to call out to Li Lian, who was busy in the kitchen: "Sister-in-law, stop what you're doing! I just came back from the county town and bought ready-made food. Come and eat with us!"
What Gu Sheng brought was a feast—chicken, duck, fish, meat—everything one could ask for. When the dishes were laid out, a mouthwatering aroma instantly filled the room.
"Wow! It smells amazing!"
Gu Wan sniffed the aroma and couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva as he exclaimed.
Gu Erniu looked at the table laden with delectable dishes, his mouth involuntarily watering too, though a hint of concern appeared on his face.
"Asheng, this meal must have cost quite a bit! Isn't this… isn't this too extravagant?"
