The table was laden with dishes, the result of an entire afternoon's effort by Qin Yongyi and his wife.
Busy with work during the week, spending a weekend cooking good food was a kind of enjoyment.
Chen Cang smiled and said, "I really have to thank Uncle and Aunt for the trouble!"
Qin Yongyi chuckled, "Our family, just the three of us, with two women, can't eat much. When there's a crowd, we can cook more dishes, and mealtime becomes livelier."
The food carried a homely flavor, and the atmosphere was filled with warmth and joy.
After dinner, Qin Yue accompanied her aunt to clear the table and wash the dishes, while Qin Meng went to study—she was in her senior year of high school, and the young girl was under a lot of pressure.
Meanwhile, Qin Yongyi invited Chen Cang into the study for a chat.
The Qin family lived in a three-bedroom, one-living-room apartment. Since guests rarely visited, one of the bedrooms had been converted into a study—a practical arrangement.
