Evening Courtyard, Fine Wine and Delicacies

Lu Huaide still couldn't hide the shock on his face.

Two bottles of Maotai with some years on them didn't cost him much. As long as he wanted, people would come to his door and offer them to him at any time.

He was shocked by Lu Huai'an's actions. These two bottles of wine were left to them by their father before he passed away. It had been about 12 years by now.

Two years ago during the Spring Festival, when Lu Huaide came back, he wanted Lu Huai'an to take them out and drink them up. He said it would be a pity if the wine went bad due to improper storage.

However, Lu Huai'an flatly refused. He said these were left by their father and shouldn't be drunk unless it was a special occasion, not even during the Spring Festival.

So, in Lu Huaide's view, what surprised him was not the wine itself, but Lu Huai'an's attitude towards Su Yang.

Taking out these two bottles of wine to entertain him, it seemed that Su Yang was not just a rich young man.

There must be something else he didn't know.

But he wasn't the kind of person who liked to pry into other people's business. He was an upright middle - aged man.

He would find an opportunity to ask about this situation, but if Lu Huai'an didn't want to say, he wouldn't pester him for an answer.

Anyway, in his opinion, Su Yang was more than just a wealthy young man.

Although he wasn't sure exactly what was special about him, he thought Su Yang was a young man worth getting to know. However, it wouldn't be him making the acquaintance.

He glanced at his daughter, Lu Wenwen, and sighed inwardly, 'Alas, it's going to be difficult for Wenwen to get in touch with Su Yang with her personality. Moreover, I'm not very reassured. If I let her interact with Su Yang, she might be deceived within a couple of days. No way! I have to think of other ways to get to know this young man.'

"Come on, everyone, sit down! What are you still standing there for?" Lu Huai'an put the two bottles of Maotai on the table and shouted.

Everyone sat down one after another. At this time, Lu Yun ran into the house and turned on the big yard light.

The somewhat dim yard instantly became bright.

"Hey, right. I was just saying it was a bit dim. Now it's much more comfortable," Lu Huaide said with a smile as he sat down beside Wang Xueying.

Lu Yun shyly sat on Su Yang's left. On Su Yang's right was Lu Wenwen, followed by Wang Xueying, Lu Huaide, Lu Huai'an, and Li Xiurong.

A total of seven people sat around a large round table with more than twenty dishes on it.

Su Yang swallowed his saliva and said with a smile, "Uncle and Aunt, you're really being too kind. You've made so many dishes today! It's a bit of a waste if we can't finish them all."

Lu Huai'an was opening the Maotai while saying, "Hey! It doesn't matter. Don't worry about that. Just eat to your heart's content."

"Come on, taste this Maotai that's been stored for fourteen years."

Su Yang turned to look. He wasn't familiar with wine. He only knew it was Maotai and it seemed to have been around for some time, but he couldn't tell if it was genuine or not.

Moreover, in his opinion, no matter how many years it had been stored, it should all taste about the same. The main thing was that he had never drunk aged Maotai before.

Lu Huai'an smiled and said, "This wine was given to me and her uncle by my dad, that is, Yunyun's grandfather, in 2010. It had already been stored for two years when the old man gave it to us, and then I stored it for another 12 years. Today, I'm finally going to drink it!"

When Lu Huai'an was speaking, a trace of reluctance could still be faintly seen on his face. Naturally, he wasn't reluctant about the wine itself.

He was reluctant about the only thing left to him by his deceased father.

Seeing this, Su Yang said, "Uncle Lu, there's really no need to open this wine. It was left to you by Grandpa Lu. Didn't I bring a whole case of Maotai? Let's just drink that."

"No no no, it's different in meaning!" Lu Huai'an said, waving his hand.

"Moreover, wine is meant to be drunk. No matter how long it can be stored, it will eventually be consumed one day."

"Come on, let's not talk about this. Today, except for Yunyun and Wenwen, the rest of us have to have a little." As he said this, he poured the wine into the four small wine glasses in front of him.

Seeing this, Lu Yun gave a faint smile and said, "I also want to have a little."

"Oh? You want to drink too? Hahaha, okay! Then I'll go get another wine glass!" Lu Huai'an was visibly happy. He naturally knew why Lu Yun wanted to have a little.

Just as he stood up, Lu Yun quickly got up and shouted, "Dad, you sit down. I'll go get it."

"Hey, okay!"

Seeing this, Lu Huaide smiled and said, "Since when can Yunyun drink white wine?"

"Hehe, probably because she's in a good mood today. One reason is that you've come, and the other is that this wine was left by her grandfather. It's normal for her to want to have a drink," Lu Huaide said with a smile and nodded.

Lu Yun went and came back. After Lu Huai'an poured the wine, he handed the glasses to everyone in turn.

Then he picked up his own glass, stood up, and said with a smile, "I'm happy today. For me, it's also a very meaningful day."

As he said this, he glanced at Su Yang, and Su Yang nodded slightly at him.

There were still three people at the table who didn't know the situation, so he couldn't say too much.

Lu Huai'an continued, "I won't say much more. Welcome, Xiao Su, big brother, sister - in - law, and Wenwen. Come on, let's have a toast!"

Everyone picked up the glasses in front of them. Lu Wenwen was drinking a soft drink.

Su Yang looked at Lu Huai'an and shouted, "Uncle Lu, you sit down!"

"Okay then!"

After Lu Huai'an sat down, the five of them clinked their glasses and took a big gulp.

After Su Yang drank it, he smacked his lips and thought, "Huh? This Maotai that's been stored for more than ten years does taste better than the freshly bought one, but I can't quite tell what makes it better. Anyway, it's really good. No wonder aged Maotai is so expensive."

"Good wine!" Su Yang couldn't help but praise.

Seeing this, Lu Huai'an let out a big laugh, "Haha, isn't it good? Come on, with such a big table full of delicious food and fine wine, what are we waiting for? Let's start eating!"

"Eat, eat, Xiao Su, don't be polite," Lu Huaide looked at Su Yang and smiled.

"Hey, okay, Uncle Lu. You eat too."

"Yeah, okay."

After that, the six of them started to eat. The more than twenty dishes on the table made Su Yang dizzy. He didn't know where to start.

However, he wasn't picky about food and would basically eat anything. Coupled with Li Xiurong's excellent cooking skills, Su Yang would look up and give Li Xiurong a thumbs - up after taking a few bites of different dishes.

"Aunt Li, your cooking is so delicious!"

Li Xiurong said with a very happy smile, "Haha, if it's delicious, then eat more. Eat less rice and more dishes. Come on, taste this braised pork. It's my specialty."

As she said this, Li Xiurong picked up a piece of fatty - lean braised pork and put it in Su Yang's bowl.

Su Yang held the bowl and politely stood up to receive it. "Auntie, I can do it myself. You're really being too kind. I'm starting to feel a bit embarrassed."

"It doesn't matter. There's nothing to be embarrassed about. Sit down quickly and have your meal."

Lu Yun was quietly picking up food on the side. Looking at this harmonious and happy scene, she couldn't help but feel extremely happy, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but turn up slightly.

She had already started imagining her future days with Su Yang in her heart...

As she was thinking, her face turned red. Fortunately, everyone was chatting and eating, and no one noticed her.

Su Yang was really hungry. He buried his head and ate like crazy, with oil all over his mouth. At this moment, he really felt like he was having a family reunion dinner during the Spring Festival.
