"Just had a meal, and Master casually taught me how to make fried meatballs."
Although Lin Xu enjoyed the gossip, he didn't want to spread rumors about his master, so he started talking about the fried meatballs he had just learned.
Upon hearing this, Geng Lele got interested:
"Can you make them now, Xu Ge? This Spring Festival, my grandma volunteered to make fried meatballs, but they all got burnt and turned into a pile of black coal balls..."
Leading with that, Chen Yan also talked about unsatisfying meals at her grandma's house.
It wasn't that the food was bad, mainly because of the relatives who kept asking why Ren Jie didn't come, wondering if he was looking down on people.
Then they said they were blacklisted, asking Ren Jie for help, so Chen Yan excused herself halfway through the meal to head to the restroom and ended up driving to find Shu Yun and Dou Wenjing.
Every festival, some relatives with no usual contact would come to visit.
