The next afternoon, Su Guo took a half-day leave to pick up Lao Su at the train station. Li Shuwen, who had agreed to go with him, suddenly called before leaving and said that there was something urgent to deal with in the company. Su Guo politely declined the proposal that he sent a driver to pick it up and drove to the train station by himself.

The train was delayed for a while, and Su Guo was waiting at the exit. When she saw Lao Su pulling her suitcase slowly out of the room, she secretly felt fortunate that Li Shuwen didn't come.

"Comrade Lao Su, are you stimulating or have you taken the wrong medicine?"

It’s no wonder that Su Guo has this question. Old Su, who hasn’t seen him for more than half a year, has grown long, slightly longer than Su Guo’s current bob. After curling, he tied a braid on his head. He was wearing a white T-shirt with a skull printed on his upper body, and a black punk-style leather jacket on his lower body, and a nine-point pants of the same color paired with white skateboard shoes... Su Guo stared at the buttons on the old Su’s leather jacket that were shaking and glittering with metallic luster, and swallowed with difficulty.

"You're taking the wrong medicine!" Old Su took off the toad mirror from his face and knocked it on Su Guo's head, "Your father, even if I take medicine, I still take the 'rejuvenation pill'!"

Su Guo covered her forehead and took the suitcase from Lao Su's hand, following him, looking as embarrassed as a little assistant of a big star.

Because of Lao Su's arrival, a family gathering was arranged tonight.

At the dinner table, Ms. Qian asked Su Guo why Li Shuwen didn't come. Su Guo said that there was something wrong with his company. Ms. Qian kept staring at Su Guo with inquiry. Su Guo knew that her mother must be afraid that she would ruin another good partner, so she was silently condemning her. Su Guo was too lazy to pay attention to Ms. Qian. Originally, the protagonist of today's party was not her, and she didn't want her to become the main tone of today's party.

"Oh, Su Jianhua, I'm asking if you're stimulated?" Fortunately, Ms. Qian quickly adjusted her condemnation target.

Although Lao Su could not resist Su Guo's shiny leather jacket in the end, the suit was cut and slim, and the style was trendy, making him look younger and handsome. Ms. Qian, who is so beautiful and confident, originally wanted to give her ex-husband a young, beautiful and charming person in this occasion today, but she didn't expect that her ex-husband would actually compare herself to her, so how could she swallow her breath!

"Yes, I was stimulated," Old Su leaned against the chair with his chest in his arms, looking like a domineering president. "Life is so beautiful, and the beauty is so cute. I am in my prime, so why can't I do whatever I want?"

"It's still a great time, do whatever you want, I'm gonna do it! Aren't you just a monster when you're old? Look at what you are like? Men are not men and women are not women!" Ms. Qian changed her image as a virtuous and well-mannered mother-in-law in front of her son-in-law, and blasted her ex-husband at the dinner table without any image.

"You still have the face to talk to me! The photos in your circle of friends are all dressed like that, and they are still tactful..."

Lao Su was naturally not willing to be outdone. He had already had enough of Ms. Qian's "poisonous tongue" and "humiliation" before divorce. He had been divorced for so many years, and he could no longer be angry with her. So he started to argue with her regardless of his image. From the time of divorce at that time to later when Ms. Qian remarried, Lao Su66 had several more parties to discuss, and no one could interfere.

Su Guo and Su Ran looked at each other and lowered their heads to eat silently. The one who was most calm in the audience was Wu Zhen. They poured tea for their father-in-law and mother-in-law who was fighting, and picked up food for their wife. They did not forget to eat seriously.

"Hey, I'll tell you how are you and that big boss?" Su Ran asked Su Guo in the background of the quarrel between his parents.

"It's pretty good."

"Is that person reliable?" Su Ran met Li Shuwen. He had accompanied Ms. Qian to help get married and met him. However, Su Guo did not formally bring him to meet his parents. Today, he originally wanted to introduce him to everyone to get to know him while Lao Su came back, but he didn't come. In Su Ran's opinion, although a big boss in a company is busy with daily affairs, he knows that people like them should not be absent if they are gathering on important occasions.

"How is it reliable?" Su Guo asked, "With your Wu Zhen as the benchmark, what other men in this world can be called reliable?"

"You finally said something reliable," Wu Zhen put his hands on the dining table, regardless of Su Guo's expression of rolling his eyes at the ceiling, and said patiently to Su Guo, "Is a man reliable? Isn't it?

What he said in front of you, or you know what he did. Instead, what he said and did was for your own good, but you didn't know at all."

"I can't understand it so profound."

Wu Zhen knew that she would say this, so he pushed the dish in front of Su Guo, "Look, it's like this plate of crab roe tofu. Do you think it tastes delicious because the tofu is white and tender, and the crab roe is delicious, right?"

Su Guo nodded indifferently, not understanding what the white-collar elite wanted to express.

"But do you know that this dish you love is delicious because it adds another thing to you?"

"Does your old Wu like to use this kind of metaphor to speak in this way?"

"That's because you are stupid. He made a metaphor because he was afraid that you wouldn't understand." Su Ran disagreed.

"You two are really...a face-to-face!"

"Thank you for your praise," Wu Zhen was very helpful to Su Guo's words and became serious about Su Guo's explanation. "This dish of crab roe and tofu that you like the most is because it adds salted egg yolks to it."

"Salted egg yolk?" Su Guo always thought that the white one was tofu and the yellow one was crab roe. All the umami flavor in this dish should come from crab roe, and she had never tasted the smell of salted egg yolk.

"This is like the 'reliable man' you said. If a man is really reliable and sincerely doing your good, you may not know what he has made for you at all. Just like this salted egg yolk, it seems ordinary, you have never even tasted it, but it is because of its existence that you fall in love with this dish."

"I don't know what you are talking about." After hearing Wu Zhen's words, Su Guo didn't react much and still lowered her head to eat.

Seeing her appearance, Su Ran looked at Wu Zhen with a worried look on his face.

Wu Zhen quietly held Su Ran's hand and replied with her "relaxed" expression.

In fact, how could Su Guo not understand what Wu Zhen said? But whether he understands or not is different from not caring. Even if Su Guo knows that there are salted egg yolks in crab roe tofu, she would not call this dish "salted egg yolks tofu", because crab roe is the protagonist of this dish, the essence, and the main reason that attracts everyone to eat this dish. As for salted egg yolks... it is just used as a side dish. If the cooker makes up his mind and doesn't want to say it out, then even if the cook knows, it doesn't have to figure it out.

After dinner, when Lao Su got home, he was so angry that he took a shower and went to bed early because of an argument with Ms. Qian. He slept in the sand in the middle of the night and was woken up by cold on the sand. He wanted to go to his daughter's room to get the bed and quilt, but there was no one in the room.

Su Guo opened the door and found that the lights in the living room were on, and a spicy smell came out of the kitchen.
