When it comes down to it, it's all Yan Laoliu's fault for being so unaccomplished that he can't even manage to get himself a wife, leaving him to face a barrage of jokes from his old comrades whenever he steps out.
Yan Huaizheng had long been accustomed to Grandpa Yan's daily antics and, facing the barrage of disdainful glances, simply pretended not to see them.
"I'm full, Father. Please continue to enjoy your meal," said Yan Huaizheng as he put down his chopsticks, wiped his mouth, and pushed back his chair to leave.
The rules of the Yan Family were lax, with none of those strict conventions like not talking during meals and staying silent at bedtime.
With many sons in the Yan Family, it was commonplace for them to leave right after eating to attend to their own matters without the compulsion to wait for the elders to leave the table first.
After Yan Huaizheng left, Xiaoqi and Xiaoxiao also claimed to be full and were about to leave their utensils and go.
