It looks delicious. Its worthy to come here today, Liu Qiang said, sitting between Liu Chun and Ji Fang. His eyes nearly popped out of his head at the sight of the dishes. It wasnt just that they looked good; he had eaten at all the top restaurants in the capital, but nothing satisfied him like home-cooked food, especially the braised chicken and ribs.
Of course, Liu Chun agreed, having tasted Su Wen and her sisters culinary skills before. Su Wen and her sisters are exceptional cooks. The food I miss the most in the northwest is the Su familys cooking. He had been the one to suggest to Hengyang that they have this meal.
Ji Fang, sitting next to Liu Qiang, was like a pitiful child, not daring to say a word. He avoided looking at Su Qing, afraid he might expose himself.
Wenwen, dont be so busy, Zhou Hengyang called from the vice-hosts seat. He waved at Su Wen, saying, Youre the head of the household. If you dont sit down and eat first, well all have to wait.
Everyone was momentarily stunned, then burst into laughter.
The two old engineers laughed heartily, their admiration for the big boss increasing. Meanwhile, their disdain for the second boss grew.
Sister Su Wen, please sit down. If you dont, the big boss wont dare touch his chopsticks, Liu Qiang said, understanding Zhou Hengyangs temper and knowing he didnt mind the occasional joke. He felt much bolder than before.
Thats right, Wenwen, sit down quickly! Liu Chun echoed. He knew the inside story. Su Wen was the true owner of the house. Although Hengyang was a respected and feared big boss, in this family, Su Wens status was number one.
Hengyang not only didnt fight with Su Wen but also supported her the most. Every time Liu Chun visited for a meal, Su Wen always sat at the head of the table. This was unimaginable in other families, but it was natural in the Su family. Even if Hengyang wanted to sit at the head, the other Su family members wouldnt allow it.
Anyone who treated Su Wen as just another housewife, expecting her to serve while the men chatted and drank, would be making a huge mistake. They wouldnt be welcome in the Su household again. Su Wen might not mind, but Su Qing and Su Xiu wouldnt stand for it.
Liu Chun had the best understanding of the family dynamics. While Su Wen still saw her sisters as needing her care, Su Qing and Su Xiu had long since matured and were capable of handling their affairs. They simply chose not to show it in front of their sister. Even Hengyang treated Su Qing and Su Xiu as capable adults.
Wenwen, sit down. If you dont, my reputation as a husband will be questioned, Zhou Hengyang joked with a smile.
Nonsense, Su Wen teased back, but she didnt decline. She sat down gracefully, fully embodying the head of the family. She was at ease, whether drinking, eating, or chatting. Everyone enjoyed the meal, and both hosts and guests were happy.
After dinner, Zhou Hengyang continued discussing professional matters with the two old engineers. Su Wen, not understanding the technical talk, sat with them for a while before going to help Su Xiu and Su Qing.
