Zhu Yun didn't say much. Aunt Zhao and Sister-in-law Tan did most of the talking for her.
After what happened on May Day, the young couple was bound together. An engagement and marriage were practically a certainty. Today was just a formality—meeting the parents and discussing the details.
"Xiao Zhu, ordinarily, as the bride-to-be and a guest at their home, you shouldn't have to be working. But this is the first time Uncle Chu and Aunt Chu are meeting you, isn't it?"
"So if you could just whip up a few dishes for them to try, it would put our minds at ease. That way, when you two are married and living on your own, we'll know you're in good hands."
Aunt Zhao smiled and patted Zhu Yun's hand. "The ingredients are all ready. Just pick a few of your signature dishes that are simple to make."
Mrs. Chu forced a polite smile. "That's not necessary. The girl works hard all week and finally has a day off. We can just have Shen Yu go get us food from the canteen."
