"Tang Jun, the noodles Sis made are really delicious," Yuan Yu said excitedly, calling her ’Sis’ with great warmth.
Tang Jun didn’t say a word, just glanced at Yuan Yu with a look that said he already knew.
His sister not only made delicious noodles, but everything she cooked was exceptionally tasty.
"Sis, can I have your delicious food again at lunchtime today?" Yuan Yu looked hopeful.
Before Tang Yue could open her mouth, Tang Jun interrupted, "No, my sister is very busy and has no time to cook for you, young lady."
Yuan Yu pouted and said, "Tang Jun, since when am I a young lady? Sis is busy but she has to eat too, I can help."
Tang Jun: "..."
Tang Jun averted his gaze and looked out the window. The moment he saw Yuan Yu, he was surprised, not expecting her to follow him here and get to know his sister.
The car was filled with the chatter of Yuan Yu, with Tang Yue occasionally responding.
They arrived at the Tang Family home, and Tang Jun began unloading the things he brought.
"Sis, here’s the sausage Grandma made for you, and Granny sent some preserved rabbit, which Uncle trapped in the mountains before the New Year."
Tang Jun explained one by one. Having not been home for a while, Tang Jun brought back a lot of delicious food this time.
"Also, the two uncles from the Mo Family sent quite a bit over."
The two large boxes Tang Jun had were filled with food. He said, "And this, Sis, you’ll definitely like it."
"Pickled ginger?" When Tang Yue saw the pickled ginger, she immediately wanted to eat some. She opened the lid, grabbed chopsticks, and took a piece. The pickled ginger was excellent, made while the ginger was still tender. Biting into it was crunchy, like biting into a radish, with a slightly sweet and sour taste. It was delicious.
Tang Yue ate several pieces and said, "This must be made by Grandma, right? Even though Grandma is old, her pickled ginger skills are impeccable."
"Right, Grandma said you love it, and she’ll make more for you this year."
Tang Jun grinned and said, "Don’t worry, Grandma and Granny are in great health. Also, Uncle’s new house is spacious and bright; Grandma lives on the first floor."
"What about Uncle and Aunt?" Tang Yue asked again.
"They also live on the first floor, and the second floor is for Zhang Qiang and Zhang Min," Tang Jun explained and then asked, "Sis, haven’t you been back either?"
"When I went back, Uncle hadn’t built the house yet."
Tang Yue pursed her lips. She hadn’t gone back much these past few years, always rushing to and from. Her parents and in-laws were in Jing City, and besides visiting the elders, she mostly stayed in Jing City.
"True."
Tang Jun thought about it, recalling that Uncle’s house was just newly built last year.
"Yuan Yu, would you like some? This is made by my Grandma and it’s delicious," Tang Yue finally remembered Yuan Yu was there.
"Thank you, Sis."
Yuan Yu thanked Tang Yue first before trying it. After just one piece, she found it very spicy and stuck out her tongue.
Tang Yue quickly handed her some water.
Yuan Yu took a big gulp and said, "It’s a bit spicy, Sis, don’t you think it’s spicy?"
"It’s alright," Tang Yue didn’t find it spicy, probably because she’s used to eating chili.
"The more I eat, the better it gets."
