Chapter 965: Chapter 984: Extremely Meticulous
Speaking of this, his demeanor became slightly more formal.
"Besides, it’s not like I deployed without orders. I only went because the Military Research Institute requested help," Mo Si said. "I didn’t go because she is my lover, but because she is worth the Sixth Army deploying for."
It was Qiuqiu’s personal value. It absolutely could not be brushed off as mere romantic entanglement.
His seriousness stunned the elders for a moment, but afterward, they couldn’t help but laugh. The passion of youth was truly radiating off him.
Grandma Mo’s eyes crinkled with a smile. "So, you suddenly came home today to talk about this girl. Are your feelings stable? Are you ready for us to meet her?"
"Yes." Mo Si nodded. They were going to be together until the end, so naturally, she had to meet the family.
"Are you planning to celebrate the New Year together this year?"
"We aren’t celebrating the New Year together," Mo Si said. "I just wanted to invite a few of our elders to Starry Sky Wander for a meal."
"Having a meal at the girl’s place?" Grandma Mo frowned. "Did you suggest this, or did little Qiuqiu?"
Grandma Mo’s expression was slightly strange, prompting Mo Si to pause for a moment. "Qiuqiu and I suggested it together. Grandma, what’s wrong?"
"Where is the sense in having a girl cook for your family right after you confirm your relationship?" Grandma Mo shook her head. "It lacks proper etiquette. Wouldn’t it be better if you invited her to eat at our home instead?"
"Exactly," his aunt added. "She is the honored guest here."
Mo Si didn’t really understand this kind of social etiquette, but what his grandparents said was probably right. He had absolute respect for Qiuqiu, so after being lectured by the elders, he agreed that inviting her to his home for a meal would be much more appropriate.
However, they couldn’t set the date for the actual reunion day because Qiuqiu happened to be live-streaming her New Year’s Eve dinner preparation that day and wouldn’t have the time. Accommodating their honored guest’s schedule, the dinner was moved forward by two days. After shifting the date, Mo Si shamelessly asked his uncles if they could stay away that day.
His aunt was momentarily speechless. "You can’t be serious, little Si. Are you actually shooing your guests away?
"Can’t we even take a look at your little girlfriend?"
Everyone spoke with amusement in their voices.
Mo Si let out a soft sound of agreement. "There are too many people in our family. I’m afraid she won’t be used to it."
Fine, fine. Girls were easily embarrassed. His aunt playfully teased Mo Si a few times before tactfully withdrawing with his uncles.
"We’ll visit you two privately after the New Year."
"Alright."
The matter was thus settled appropriately.
The joint family interrogation was finally over. Since Mo Si’s mother had passed away early, the female head of the household was Grandma Mo. If they were going to host a banquet and invite a guest over, they had to discuss matters like grocery shopping and cooking. They needed to find a good chef in advance. Especially since the girl was a food-oriented Healer, they couldn’t just hire someone subpar.
"Little Si, what does your girl like to eat?
"I’m trying to figure out what dishes we should serve."
However, it was hard to just list dish names out of thin air. Grandma Mo brought out a menu and asked Mo Si to pick some dishes. As soon as Mo Si saw the restaurant’s name on the menu, he immediately rejected it. "This is from the Federation Restaurant. We’re not ordering from here."
Grandma Mo looked at him in confusion.
"Their food doesn’t taste good," he explained.
Mo Si still remembered that one of the people who had a conflict with Qiuqiu belonged to this revolving Federation Restaurant. Hiring their people was a hard no!
Grandma Mo was speechless. She noted that he had eaten their food for years without ever claiming it was bad.
"Then who should we hire?"
Grandma Mo contacted some old friends and acquired the contact information and private menus of a few exclusive chefs.
"What do you think of this one?"
"No," Mo Si said. "Their food is genuinely terrible."
"Then what about this one?"
"His character is bad."
It turned out to be a streamer who had plagiarized Qiuqiu!
