Soon, the meal was cooked.

Looking at the table full of dishes, Chu Jianxin was very happy and said to Liu Fengjiao, "Thank you for your hard work. Come sit down and eat."

“It’s not hard at all, and I don’t know if the food I cook will suit their taste.”

Seeing Chu Yue's grumpy face and not a word of thanks to the cook, Chu Jianxin immediately felt unhappy and said sullenly, "What's wrong with his taste? He ran away to the countryside without saying a word and was able to adapt to eating coarse food there. How could he not be used to these meals?"

"Okay, everyone, let's eat. The two kids are hungry too."

Chu Yue clenched his fists, trying hard to suppress his unhappiness. If it weren't for the two children having fun, he really wanted to slam the door and walk out.

Liu Fengjiao kept picking up some food for Yang Liu and introduced it to her, "I don't know what dishes you like, but since I heard about your hometown, I made some based on my guess. What do you think?"

His tone was full of care and consideration.

Although Yang Liu had never heard Chu Yue mention it, she knew that his relationship with his stepmother must be bad, so she just replied calmly: "Thank you, Auntie, everything is fine, thank you for your hard work."

"As long as it suits your taste, you should bring your children back for dinner more often when you have the chance."

Yang Liu passed by unscathed.

When the meal was almost over, Chu Jianxin suddenly asked, "Liu Liu, what are your plans when you first came here?"

The implication is whether she is ready to go to work.

But before she could open her mouth, Chu Yue took the lead and said, "Just take care of yourself. You don't need to worry about our affairs."

"You think I want to control you? You are under my nose now. If I don't control you, you might not even have food to eat."

"Liu Liu, you just arrived and don't have a city hukou, so you can't get a job in that kind of government office. I have a good friend who's very familiar with the manager of the supply and marketing cooperative. I'll introduce you to a job there. As for the child, you can ask your aunt to take care of it for you. You can pick it up after work in the afternoon."

"Thank you for your kindness. The child is still young, and I have no plans to let Liu Liu go out to work for the time being. Don't worry, even if we really have no food to eat, we will never come to you." Chu Yue said with a stern face.

If it weren't for the fact that they were father and son, he would never set foot in this house again.

"It's okay for you adults to live a hard life, but the children are still so young. Since you are their parents, you have to be responsible for them. Besides, I am their grandfather, and I will not allow them to live such a miserable life."

He had just noticed that both brothers liked to eat lean meat. When he went to school and the other one didn't work, the subsidy from the university would not be enough to cover their family expenses.

"Is it too late for you to realize this now? I will take care of my child. You don't need to worry about him. Just take care of your own business."

Seeing Chu Yue's words becoming more and more aggressive, it seemed that the father and son were about to fight. Yang Liu had no choice but to pull his sleeves repeatedly, asking him to calm down and finish the meal no matter what.

Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Liu Fengjiao tried to mediate. On the surface, she was trying to make peace, but in fact, she was secretly adding fuel to the fire.

Ever since Chu Yue found out her true identity, he is too lazy to even glance at her, leaving her to perform a one-man show all by herself.

After dinner, Liu Fengjiao went to the kitchen to clean up. Chu Yue held the child and pulled Yang Liu out without even saying a word to them.

Yang Liu handed the child to him and hurried to the kitchen to tell her. Seeing that they were about to leave, she immediately followed them out: "You're leaving so soon? Sit down and talk to your dad for a while."

Yang Liu thought to herself that if they talked any longer, the father and son would probably start fighting and make a fool of themselves.

"No, it's not too late. The children didn't take a nap during the day and are very sleepy now. We'll go back first. Goodbye, Auntie. I'm sorry to have troubled you today."

"You kid, we are all family, why are you being so polite?"

Liu Fengjiao accompanied them to the door before going in.

Seeing Chu Jianxin sitting there like a panting Buddha, she poured him a cup of tea and comforted him, "You too, the child finally came back, and you didn't tell me to control my temper. Why make such a fuss?"

"You can see that that brat doesn't even have me as his father anymore. I gave them this advice for their own good, but neither of them appreciated it."

She handed the tea to him, patted his back and said soothingly, "You have high blood pressure, so don't get angry easily. Besides, since Xiao Yue said he can support them, you can just leave them alone for now. When they can't make ends meet, you can lend a hand. They will definitely be grateful. Are you still worried that they won't remember your kindness then?"

When Chu Yue and his friends were going back, they didn't call the driver to pick them up because they had an unpleasant argument with his father.

Fortunately, his house is close to the bus stop outside, and it only takes about twenty minutes to walk there.

Seeing that he was pursing his lips and looked unhappy, Yang Liu took his hand and said with a smile, "I'll cook you some noodles when we get home tonight. How many eggs do you want?"

She noticed when they were eating just now that this person hardly moved his chopsticks. Occasionally he picked up some food, but he fed it all to Shi Tou.

When he heard his mother say that she was going to cook noodles, Shitou, who had just yawned and looked like he was about to fall asleep, suddenly woke up and rubbed his eyes and said, "Mom, I want to eat eggs too."

"Okay, I'll cook it for you when we get back later."

Yang Liu knew that the situation between father and son wouldn't improve anytime soon, so she didn't try to persuade him. She just said, "I think when they go to school, we can go to the south to buy goods and do business."

Chu Yue took her hand and said with a smile: "I support you in whatever you do."

"Really? Aren't you curious? Aren't you afraid that I will squander all your belongings?" Yang Liu joked with a smile.

"I'd love to."

Chu Yue said this with a look of pride.

He was so happy that his daughter-in-law was willing to spend his money.

After returning home, Yang Liu started to boil water and prepare noodles. The two brothers had just woken up from the car ride and were very energetic. When they heard that they were going to cook noodles, they both clamored for food.

Seeing that she only brought out three bowls, one large bowl and two small bowls, Chu Yue asked curiously, "You don't want to eat?"

She shook her head: "I'm not as stupid as you. I just ate a lot."

Since she has already taken on that reputation, why shouldn't she eat her fill? Not only did she eat her fill just now, but she also ate delicious food.

It would be a waste if you don’t eat it.

They didn't eat for free; they brought a lot of things with them when they went there.
