After entering the house with Zhao Changsong, the Dou Jingwei family also noticed the fragrance of food wafting from the kitchen. The aroma of the dishes coming from the kitchen wasn't particularly strong, but its alluring quality was top-notch.

Prior to this, the only information Su Bai had obtained from his senior brother Zhao Changsong was that Dou Jingwei's own taste tended to be mild. Based on this, Su Bai inferred that her family's dietary preferences were likely towards light flavors, focusing on carefully prepared light and delicious home-cooked dishes for health.

Therefore, the dishes he prepared for today were all delicately and pleasantly flavored. The only heavily flavored dish was the braised beef, which served as the main meat dish and complemented the other dishes, providing a touch of standout flavor to the meal.

Su Bai was busy in the kitchen by himself, and due to the running exhaust fan and his preparations, he didn't notice that the Dou Jingwei family had already arrived.

Dou Jingwei was aware in advance that Zhao Changsong's family had invited his master's disciple to prepare lunch for today. However, Dou Jingwei also knew that her future father-in-law was a sprint coach in the provincial track and field team, so she thought that her father-in-law had probably called a disciple who was skilled in cooking to help out.

However, Dou Jingwei knew her own family well. Most of her family members were connoisseurs of fine food. A dish made by an ordinary person skilled in cooking might not necessarily earn praise from her family. But her father-in-law's family had specially invited a disciple to help them entertain, showing how much they valued them. So, before leaving, Dou Jingwei had specifically told her parents and two older brothers to compliment the food prepared by their disciple during the meal.

The principle of reciprocity was understood by Dou's parents and her two brothers. After all, being valued by one's in-laws was a good thing. They had prepared in advance to praise their future son-in-law's culinary skills during the meal.

However, upon their arrival and stepping inside, Dou's parents and her two brothers forgot about all those prepared words of mutual praise...

The scent of the food wafting through the air!

Using those prepared words of mutual praise would be a desecration to the food; it was absolutely forbidden!

Zhao Changsong and his wife, Xie Yi, didn't notice the distracted appearance of the Dou family. They saw the Dou Jingwei family coming with various gifts and wearing smiles on their faces. They quickly welcomed them into the living room, and after inviting them in, Zhao Changsong personally brought out the good tea kept in the house. He then brewed tea on a wooden tea table and poured a cup of fine tea for each member of the Dou family.

Whether it was the Dou family or the Zhao family, when it came to the matter of their children dating and getting married, neither family had any intention of deliberately intervening. Both families were quite satisfied with the other's child. Additionally, since both families were formally meeting for the first time, whether it was Zhao Changsong and Xie Yi or Dou's parents, Dou Zewen and Jiang Caiwen, all four of them could sense the genuine sincerity in each other's words and actions.

With this mutual understanding, the atmosphere between the two families became even more relaxed. The eight members of the two families sat in the living room, chatting casually with the television on as background noise. Occasionally, they would take sips of tea, and it could be said that the atmosphere was harmonious.

As the link between the two families, Dou Jingwei and Zhao Changsong would exchange a few words when the parents of both sides were chatting, making communication between the two families smoother.
