Twelve o'clock noon.
The bright and clear sunshine streamed through the polished glass windows, spilling onto the brand-new large round table in the center of Yuan Mengqi's living room.
The table was carefully selected at the furniture store near the neighborhood early this morning by Yuan Mengqi and her mother, Zhao Huilan.
Mother Yuan, Zhao Huilan, also thoughtfully laid a festive red tablecloth over it.
Clearly, the family of Yuan Mengqi attached great importance to the visit of Jiang Tao's parents today.
At this moment, the huge round table was almost completely occupied by various casseroles.
The matte black casserole was bubbling away.
The whole room was filled with a blend of aromas from different ingredients.
The casserole of boiled meat slices in hot chili oil was rich with chili oil, topped with chopped green onions and crispy fried dried chili peppers.
