The elders had spoken, so everyone naturally had to listen.
The crowd escorted Mo Yunfeng into the main house and sat down around the dining table.
The few brothers gathered together, feeling like they had a bellyful of questions to ask.
But seeing that the dishes on the table were about to get cold, and moreover, seeing Mo Yunfeng's travel-worn appearance, the few brothers tactfully did not ask immediately.
Old Lady Mo also felt the same way. Her son had rushed back with difficulty, even if there were earth-shattering events, it could not delay the family from having a nice reunion dinner.
After sweeping her eyes around, Old Lady Mo spoke.
"Let's eat first, if there's anything you want to ask, there's plenty of time to chat during the New Year's Eve, it can help pass the time."
Mo Yunfeng also thought that those matters were not tricky, and it would be fine to talk about them later.
"Let's all listen to Mother and eat first."
At this moment in the Mo family, apart from Old Lady Mo this elder, Mo Yunfeng was the oldest among the brothers, so he had more say at the dinner table.
Mo Jiuye saw the tense atmosphere in the family relax, and went out to the courtyard to light firecrackers.
Accompanied by the sound of firecrackers popping, the Mo family in the northwest finally started their first reunion dinner on New Year's Eve.
The dishes on the table were all carefully prepared by the women.
Especially for the ingredients and menu, thanks to He Zhiran's arrangements, it was definitely at the level of an imperial feast.
Steamed bass, spicy crab, garlic stir-fried lobster, spicy stir-fried mantis shrimp, shrimp and vermicelli soup, braised swimming crabs, stir-fried cuttlefish, stewed sea cucumber.
Living by the seaside was good. Just the seafood dishes on the Mo family's New Year's Eve dinner totaled eight.
Apart from that, there were another eight meat dishes, plus cold dishes and some vegetable dishes. The number of dishes on the Mo family's New Year's Eve dinner was actually over twenty.
Fortunately, the dining table Mo Jiuye and He Zhiran bought back was big enough, otherwise there would not be enough room to place all the dishes.
Even so, the dishes were stacked up, very compact.
Moreover, most of these dishes were personally prepared by He Zhiran, so the taste must be extraordinary.
In order to let the family eat well, He Zhiran also made orange juice in her space. For the men who liked to drink alcohol there was Wuliangye liquor, while she and the other women had orange juice.
Ever since they were exiled, the family had seen many rare items, they were too lazy to even ask where this sweet and refreshing orange juice came from.
With Ninth Brother and Ninth Brother's wife around, they could get all kinds of good stuff...
At this moment, everyone temporarily ignored their concern for Mo Yunfeng and was completely immersed in the delicious food.
Since the news came out that Mo Yunfeng had died, it had been almost four years. Reunited with his family again, he did not expect the dishes at home to have become so delicious.
During this period of time he was looking for the whereabouts of Eldest and Second Brother outside, eating simple meals day after day. He simply hadn't had a decent meal.
Especially today, in order to reunite with his family earlier, he had used his lightness skill since daybreak to rush back.
He hadn't had a grain of rice or a drop of water for a whole day, over consuming his energy. At this moment he was starving.
He could no longer chat with his brothers and Liang Hao, and kept his head lowered to keep putting food into his mouth.
It could be said he was originally a young master from a prestigious family, and must have no lack of proper manners, and they would have been ingrained.
But faced with so many delicacies, Mo Yunfeng directly discarded all the aloofness that he should have to the back of his mind.
He thought he would be very embarrassed, but when he looked up after having eaten fifty percent of his meal, he saw his brothers in the same state. Even Liang Hao and the rest who were usually more restrained in front of them were the same.
Seeing this scene, Mo Yunfeng understood.
It wasn't that he lacked manners, but that everyone was the same as him.
Therefore, Mo Yunfeng no longer had any reservations in his heart and continued to eat heartily with his brothers.
Not only Mo Yunfeng had doubts about this issue. Mo Chongyuan, Mo Chuhan and Mo Jiuye had also questioned themselves similarly before.
Later, the few brothers finally found the reason why they would not be courteous when eating now - the dishes at home now were so delicious that it completely defeated the so-called aloofness in their hearts.
The women were much more elegant, their eating movements not as fast as the men. Even so, by the end of the New Year's Eve dinner, there was almost nothing left on the table.
The women took the initiative to stand up and clear the bowls and chopsticks. Only then did Old Lady Mo look at Mo Yunfeng.
Mo Yunfeng's dark short jacket was already dirty beyond recognition. Although his hair was not as messy as when Old Lady Mo first saw him at the salt lake, there was still a layer of dust on it.
The stubble on his face was particularly conspicuous, evidently he had not grooming himself for a long time.
Thinking that her son who had previously loved being clean had now become so slovenly, Old Lady Mo couldn't help but feel a pain in her heart.
"Yunfeng must have suffered a lot along the way?"
When facing his mother, Mo Yunfeng appeared very respectful.
"Mother worries too much, your son is fine."
The mother and son had just spoken a few words when Third Sister-in-law came over.
"Husband, look how dirty you are. I just boiled some hot water, go take a wash first."
It wasn't that Third Sister-in-law wanted to snatch him from Mother-in-law, but she knew her husband's habit of loving cleanliness better.
If they hadn't rushed to eat the New Year's Eve dinner just now, her husband would probably have gone to wash up first.
Old Lady Mo also had this intention in mind, gently saying, "Yunfeng, go freshen up first, then we'll talk."
Mo Yunfeng had already felt very uncomfortable all over, so he got up and left with his wife.
During her free time, Third Sister-in-law had made him quite a lot of changes of clothes, including underwear, outerwear and padded clothes, and even shoes were prepared in several pairs.
In less than an hour, Mo Yunfeng returned, washed up and tidy.
When He Zhiran opened the door, she was actually stunned for a few seconds.
Who was this messy person just now?
He looked exactly like a tall, rich and handsome guy...
The Mo brothers were almost all over 180 cm tall with well-proportioned figures.
Needless to say about their looks, any one that He Zhiran had seen were dignified.
Now in his prime years, Mo Yunfeng naturally exuded a sense of stability.
And when Third Sister-in-law looked at her husband, her eyes were full of love.
Old Lady Mo pointed to the place beside her.
"Yunfeng, come, sit by Mother."
Seeing Third Brother sit down, Mo Hanyue quickly went forward to pour him a cup of tea.
Mo Yunfeng knew everyone had a bellyful of questions to ask, he took a sip of tea before taking the initiative to speak.
"After I left the salt lake, I went straight to the Southern Border.
Only after entering the Southern Border region did I realize many people there raised Gu, and the Gu Masters there kept a very low profile, their daily coming and going was no different from ordinary people, you couldn't tell who was a Gu Master at all.
Later, after my extensive inquiries, I learned that there was a Gu rearing sacred land in Southern Border called Si Meng Mountain Villa. They didn't know the real name of the founder, everyone called him Mr. Si Meng."
Hearing the two characters "Si Meng", Old Lady Mo frowned slightly.
The abnormal reaction from Mother-in-law did not escape He Zhiran's eyes.
The elders had spoken, so everyone naturally had to listen.
