The adults were not yet seated, but Zhou Xiaolong already rushed over, and without even using chopsticks, reached out with his hand to grab a lamb chop and started gnawing on it.
Gu Qingyao liked grilled lamb chops, so the Mo family kitchen often made this dish.
When Zhou Dalong saw that Zhou Xiaolong was eating meat, he rushed over and started chewing too.
The lamb had been grilled until it was tender and tasty. Its unique flavor was different from that of pork. Zhou Dalong and Zhou Xiaolong had never had grilled lamb. Their eyes widened. They had not known that meat could be so delicious.
“My god! What kind of meat is this? It’s delicious!”
“Right, right, right, a hundred times nicer than pork.”
The two of them had eaten pork, but it was the fatty cut. This was their first time eating lamb.
A family like the Mos did not have such rude children. Grandma Mo immediately frowned.
Because of the limitations of the times, many wealthy families had fallen from grace, and many suffered. But they still brought up their children well. This was not a matter of wealth, but a matter of upbringing by their elders.
They should provide instruction and set an example.
By looking at the children, she could tell what their parents were like!
But Grandma Mo did not say anything. After all, there were no absolutes in such things. Many wealthy families raised failures too!
Old Master Mo was rather displeased by the children. He had just frowned when Great-aunt spoke.
“Sigh… these children have suffered all these years. They seldom have meat. It’s because I was not capable and did not take care of Zhenguo’s children properly.”
This simple sentence was enough to make Old Master Mo’s heart melt.
“No problem, no problem. Fortunately, the children have grown up, and Zhenguo’s spirit can rest easy. It must have been hard for you to take care of these children for so many years. Please, sit and eat!”
Fang Zhenguo. Old Master Mo’s temper dissipated the moment he heard this name.
Great-aunt Mo’s eyes gleamed in satisfaction, and she led the rest to sit and have a meal.
Gu Qingyao was present too. But the young girl opposite her kept staring at her as she wolfed down her food. Her gaze never wavered as she studied Gu Qingyao.
Gu Qingyao looked up and glanced at her. She smiled a little.
Sun Huihui was taken aback. She did not know why, but those eyes, which were clearly smiling, made her shudder. She immediately lowered her head and focused on her food.
Today was the first day of their arrival. Great-aunt Mo was busy getting reacquainted with Old Master Mo, and she did not make much trouble. Gu Qingyao made all the arrangements at home, and she went back to work in the afternoon.
Gu Fangting arrived punctually. “Older Cousin, what has happened in the Mo family? Why did you have to rush back?”
Gu Qingyao said calmly. “Nothing much, just that a few relatives arrived. They are probably rather difficult to deal with. Grandma is old and can’t manage them, so she asked me to go back and help her.”
Gu Fangting paused. “Difficult to deal with? Brother-in-law is away. Will they bully you? Do you want Second Cousin to support you?”
In Gu Fangting’s heart, Second Cousin, Gu Jinhang was amazing. He could definitely be of help.
His crafty mind could weave plots around anyone until they did not know what to do!
Gu Qingyao smiled. “It’s not that serious. They aren’t that capable. Beihan and I now make the decisions in the Mo family. Grandfather and Grandma are getting old, and Grandfather is in poor health. He seldom makes decisions. How can they possibly bully me?”
