Zhang Guoqing arrived at the main room just as his mother finished setting the table. Dinner was indeed sweet potato rice, accompanied by leftover braised cutlassfish and stir-fried chili chicken from lunch, along with some home-cooked pig head meat and cabbage soup.
Zhang Guoqing looked at his father sitting nearby, "Wow, so much meat! Dad, why don't you join us and have a little drink if you're not too hungry?" As soon as he finished speaking.
His father immediately nodded and said, "Sure, I'll have a drink and keep your mother company. Seeing such good food makes me want to drink."
Mother Zhang handed an empty seat to him and instructed Xi Zi in the main room to get a pair of chopsticks for his grandfather, casting an exasperated look at Mr. Zhang. This old fellow, just greedy for drink, waited for Xiao Wu to invite him, otherwise, he would have retreated from the table and gone back to the kang to smoke his pipe.
