Qin Siyang casually brought up the fact that his materials weren't worth much.
A Tier-Four God-Hunting Artifact was a fairly reasonable price.
It seemed neither too little nor too much.
Lu Daoxing paused briefly, then caught Qin Siyang's meaning and laughed. "Xiao Qin, those materials of yours might not be worth as much as one home-cooked dinner at my place."
"Try my wife's cooking."
Qin Siyang took a bite of a fried lotus root box, and his eyes lit up.
"Auntie Yang, your cooking is incredible! This is even better than restaurant food!"
Qin Siyang kept giving her thumbs-ups.
He wasn't just flattering her.
Yang Dan really was an excellent cook. These lotus root boxes brought back the taste of his previous life.
Hearing that, Yang Dan couldn't stop smiling.
"Have some more if you like it. Whenever you want it again, come over, and I'll make it for you."
"Will do! Thank you, Auntie Yang!"
With Qin Siyang livening up the atmosphere at just the right moments and smoothing things over for Lu Daoxing, Yang Dan looked noticeably better.
Through her smiles, Qin Siyang could still glimpse the grace and vitality Yang Dan had had in her younger days.
He couldn't help reflecting that, if the apocalypse hadn't struck, she would have been more than a match for this bulbous-nosed fellow, Lu Daoxing.
No wonder Lu Daoxing considered himself lucky.
The family dinner ended in a cheerful, peaceful atmosphere.
After eating and chatting about a few amusing things, Qin Siyang stood to say goodbye.
"Come over often!"
"I will! Goodbye, Auntie Yang!"
Lu Daoxing picked up his coat. "I'll head out and take Xiao Qin back to school, then come home."
"All right. Be careful on the road."
"Don't worry. I haven't been drinking. What's there to worry about?"
