The nutritionist mentioned that Gu Jinxiu's dinner should be as light as possible, so An Junxi made some very home-style dishes: scallion eggs, stir-fried mung bean sprouts, onion-fried meat slices, mushroom stewed chicken, and tea tree mushroom pork rib soup. These were common dishes on the family's farmhouse menu. Before cooking, she asked Gu Jinxiu specifically, "Do you all eat onions?"
Gu Jinxiu said, "I eat them, but my father doesn't. However, he probably won't be back for dinner."
"Why?"
"There seems to be some project at the company. Uncle Yue said he's been very busy these days."
An Junxi didn't ask further and quickly finished cooking the meal. The maids were used to seeing An Junxi busy in the kitchen, so they set the table and then left them to eat undisturbed.
