Shi Suifeng didn't notice his envy and just shook his head, saying, "It's fine, I'm used to it. In the military, you have to handle things on your own too."
He paused and added, "Da Dan, you did particularly well today."
"The ones I bring home are all very good friends, so it's appropriate to be a bit grand. After all, I've eaten at their houses quite a lot over the years."
"You're grown up now, and you understand giving and receiving better than I do, right?"
Although back then Shi Suifeng would never visit empty-handed, there's no point in talking about what's worth it or not. But when they invite you, given the current state of the country, it definitely means there's a relationship.
Relationships develop slowly like this.
Da Dan nodded, "I understand. Next time the uncles come, it won't be so grand; some more everyday dishes will do."
"If it's a different uncle visiting for the first time, we'll see then."
If every time is so lavish, people might be afraid to come.
