My brother is a great person, if you don’t cherish him, you’re ungrateful!” Liang Jing muttered under her breath.

He Zhilan gave a bitter laugh, she couldn’t help it.

She had been too unreasonable in the past, so now that she claimed to be changing, not many people believed her.

“Enough, what’s it got to do with you, girl?

You have no manners talking to your cousin’s wife like that!” He Hongmei, being older and having seen more of life, could tell whether He Zhilan was speaking from her heart or not.

So hearing He Zhilan say those words did make her rather happy.

Liang Jing pursed her lips and didn’t say anything more, but it was clear that she still had more doubt than trust.

He Hongmei didn’t ask He Zhilan to help in the kitchen.

When she was cooking, she had He Zhilan go to Liang Jing’s room and help Liang Jing review her schoolwork.

Whether a family welcomes a guest or not can be seen from the meal prepared.

When Liang Tao returned at noon, he even brought a bottle of wine.

The big smiles on his face and He Hongmei, who had been busy all morning, prepared a meal that was as lavish as a New Year’s feast.

“Dad, Mom, you’re really splurging!

People might think we’re celebrating an holiday!

Clearly, Cousin He Teng is your real son, and I’m adopted, right?” Liang Jing joked right when she sat on the dining table.

The smile on her face was so ingratiating, “Cousin, I must be benefiting from your good fortune.”
“Impertinent!

Your father and I wish we had adopted you.

You give us too much trouble.

If we don’t like an adopted child, we could just send her back!” He Hongmei laughed and then beckoned He Teng and He Zhilan to take their seats.

“He Teng, come on, you’re always at the army camp and rarely come home.

It’s rare that you are here and I’m free.

Let’s have a good couple of drinks.

This wine was scammed from someone, taste it, isn’t scammed better than bought!” Liang Tao pulled He Teng into a chair next to him.

As he spoke, he opened the wine.

Immediately, the dining table was filled with the aroma of a fine wine.

“Alright.” He Teng is a man of few words, even faced with the warm Liang Tao, he responded with a nod of the head.

However, Liang Tao knew He Teng’s temperament, so he didn’t feel offended.

He filled their glasses with wine, and kept talking, “The last time you got married, I didn’t get to drink to my heart’s content.

You’re leaving tomorrow, so let’s drink to our heart’s content this noon.

If we get drunk, we’ll just sleep it off in the afternoon!”
The two grown men were drinking, hearty and exuberant.

With a few words, a raising of a hand, glasses clinked, and they downed the wine in one gulp.

“Don’t rush to drink, I’ve been busy cooking all morning.

If you get drunk before you’ve even had two bites, wasn’t I wasting all that effort?” He Hongmei playfully glared at her husband.

She was busy serving food, one moment for He Teng, the next one for He Zhilan.

He Zhilan has changed a lot this time, which made He Hongmei felt more comfortable to see.

While the two men were talking, she was taking care of He Zhilan, from time to time telling her about what one might encounter at college.

Liang Jing is always restless.

When she heard He Hongmei talk about interesting college stories, she exclaimed how she wished she could go to college immediately.

This comment had the whole table in stitches.
