169 Chapter 169 New Year (5)
Soon, dinner was ready. Zhou Ying got up and helped to set the table.
After the meal was served, they were divided into two tables, as usual, men and women.
After the dishes were served, Madam Qiao instantly recognized the dishes Zhou Ying had brought and then said to Mrs. Yao on the side, “Give me some of each of the three dishes Zhou Ying had brought. I want to see if her cooking has improved.”
“Alright, just sit tight.” Mrs. Yao stood up and handed her a portion of each dish. Of course, she also gave her and her daughter-in-law a portion.
When everyone saw this, they immediately took some too. It was mainly because Mrs. Guo and Mrs. Sun’s dishes were ordinary, and everyone had long been tired of eating them. When they saw a more delicious option, they naturally didn’t hesitate.
Zhou Ying didn’t join in the fun but ate the other dishes.
Of course, another person did not participate in the snatching. It was the pregnant Mrs. Yang. However, she had a mother-in-law to serve her, making her attitude high and mighty. It was as if she were no different from their previous lives.
It was the same for the men’s table with Zhou Ying’s food finishing the fastest. Zhou Chengye picked up the last bit of yellow croaker and said, “Chengrui is sure blessed. Sister-in-law’s dishes are getting better and better.”
As for the other couple, one was a respected doctor, and the other was raking in money. They were thriving and completely different from before.
Thinking of this, he couldn’t help but look at his wife, Mrs. Yang. As expected, she still looked aloof from the reality they were in.
Gu Chengzhi thought about the child in her stomach, and he suddenly had a headache. He couldn’t afford to have a child with just 20 copper coins daily, and he had to think of a way to start a business.
“Chengrui, do you have any plans after the new year?” Father Gu asked.
“You mean in that aspect?”
“It’s the thing that the clan members mentioned about bringing everyone along to do. This can be big or small, but you must handle it well.”
“Yes, yes. Even if you refuse, you have to be tactful about doing it. Otherwise, you will offend the others.” Second Uncle Gu chimed in.
Gu Chengzhi and Gu Chengye, originally unconcerned about their conversation, immediately perked up their ears and listened.
“Ying and I have already thought about this.”
“Oh, how do you guys plan to solve this?” Father Gu asked curiously. At the same time, he was also looking forward to their idea, hoping it would be useful to him.
