On the night of her wedding, the husband left for a mission as a soldier. For three years, Su Yueya dutifully took care of her mother-in-law. Just as she finally waited for her husband to be promot...
"Just leave Crescent Moon at the door. I'll drive the car over and I'll carry it in then," Lu Zhengjun said.
These things are neither too heavy nor too light.
Lu Zhengjun felt sorry for his wife and couldn't bear to let her do physical labor.
At times like these, it's only natural to demonstrate the necessity of a man's existence—isn't that what physical strength is all about?
"It's not heavy, I can manage." With that, Su Yueya picked up a large bag, and as if to show off her strength, she weighed it in her hand.
"Honey, look how light it is! It's so easy!"
Lu Zhengjun was amused by her childish actions.
"Crescent Moon, a husband is meant to be bossed around. If you do everything, what am I supposed to do at home?"
This would make him feel very unfulfilled.
Lu Zhengjun hoped that Su Yueya would not be too strong or capable, and that she should learn to rely on him when appropriate.
In reality, apart from being emotionally dependent on Lu Zhengjun, Su Yueya has always been the one taking care of Lu Zhengjun in daily life and in various details.
"You do a lot of chores at home too, like washing dishes and cleaning, you do it very well!"
"Honey, you're the best husband!"
The emotional value is off the charts.
Lu Zhengjun was quite pleased by Su Yueya's words.
The two chatted and laughed as they drove to their parents' house.
Upon arrival, they saw Lu Anguo and Bai Xiuhui waiting at the door to greet them.
"Crescent Moon, Lord Zheng, you've arrived!"
Bai Xiuhui's face was rosy. When she saw her son and daughter-in-law arrive, she hurried forward. Seeing the large and small bags, she said the same thing as Lu Zhengjun.
"Hey, why did you bring so much stuff?" Bai Xiuhui pretended to scold them with a stern face.
“Mom, this is all from Yueya’s heart, and there are even some pastries she made herself!” Lu Zhengjun said.
Did Su Yueya make it herself?
The elderly couple had previously enjoyed Su Yueya's loofah and meatball soup, and now that they heard the desserts were made by Su Yueya herself, they were filled with anticipation.
"Made of crescent moons? That must be delicious!" Lu Anguo praised.
He then quietly tugged at his wife's clothes and whispered, "Don't forget you're not feeling well. Just pretend. Look at how energetic you are!"
Bai Xiuhui: "..."
She was so happy that she almost forgot about faking her illness.
It's okay, I can always cough to make up for it.
"Cough—cough—"
The familiar fake cough is back again.
Lu Anguo and his son Lu Zhengjun tacitly agreed to ignore Bai Xiuhui's performance.
Su Yueya was extremely worried!
"Mom, why are you coughing again?" Su Yueya thought to herself that it was all her fault.
She used to take good care of her mother-in-law's health, but now that they don't live together anymore, her mother-in-law's health has been deteriorating. It's really worrying!
However, this time we brought a lot of things made from the spiritual spring. As long as Grandma keeps eating them, she will definitely be cured in the future!
Oh, right, she also needs to take some time later to change the water in the water tank!
Never forget that!
"It's nothing, Crescent Moon. It's an old ailment. Let it cough if it wants to!" Bai Xiuhui waved her hand, seemingly unconcerned about her illness.
Lu Anguo and Bai Xiuhui were very enthusiastic about their son and daughter-in-law's arrival.
The main reason is that he is very enthusiastic about his daughter-in-law, Su Yueya.
Lu Zhengjun was basically left out in the cold.
"Crescent Moon, you brought too much." Bai Xiuhui rummaged through the things and found that they were mostly fruits and vegetables. "Mom and Dad can buy these at the market. It's so heavy for you to bring them all!"
"It's not heavy, Your Majesty, please drive over."
Su Yueya took out the fruits and vegetables and helped organize them in the kitchen.
“Mom and Dad, you can buy these fruits and vegetables at the market, but it’s different for me to bring these. They’re especially delicious, much better than what you can buy!” Su Yueya emphasized.
If she can win over the picky Chen Xiaoan, then winning over her in-laws will be a piece of cake!
“Oh, if it’s bought by Crescent Moon, then it’s even better!” Lu Anguo said.
He and Bai Xiuhui thought the same as Lu Zhengjun. What difference could there be? The only difference was that Su Yueya had added her feelings.
Therefore, none of them took Su Yueya's words seriously.
"Wow, this braising liquid base is great, it smells amazing!"
The aroma filled the room as soon as the base ingredients were taken out.
Just imagine how delicious it would be once it's cooked and braised with all sorts of meats!
"Crescent moon, did you make this yourself?" Bai Xiuhui asked curiously.
“Yes, I didn’t have much to do at home anyway, so I made some braising liquid base,” Su Yueya said.
“Nonsense, how can you say you have nothing to do?” Lu Anguo disagreed. “I heard from Zhengjun that you are studying at home every day and have even been admitted to Wenxiu Medical College. How can that mean you have nothing to do? Studying is a very important thing!”
"Crescent Moon, Mom hasn't congratulated you yet! You're amazing! You got into Wenxiu Medical College! I heard about it. It's a self-study program, which means you have to be really good to get in!"
Speaking of this, Lu Anguo and Bai Xiuhui even prepared a red envelope for Su Yueya.
"Mom, what are you doing?" Su Yueya was startled by the red envelope.
These days, it's not a holiday or anything, we just visit our parents, so why are we receiving red envelopes?
Su Yueya quickly declined.
"Mom, you should keep the money to buy more food and other necessities. I can't accept it," Su Yueya said seriously.
Furthermore, Lu Zhengjun usually gives her money to Su Yueya, so she is not short of money at all and lives a comfortable life without needing her parents' financial support.
"Crescent Moon, you must accept this. It's a red envelope from your parents to congratulate you on getting into medical school. You absolutely must accept it!"
“That’s right, your parents will give you a red envelope after you graduate!” Lu Anguo added.
"Mom and Dad, you..." Su Yueya's eyes reddened with emotion.
She never expected her in-laws to treat her so well.
Before, when she lived with her adoptive parents, apart from her adoptive mother being a little kinder to her, her adoptive father didn't treat her well at all, so Su Yueya didn't experience much warmth from her family.
Unexpectedly, I felt it from my in-laws.
"Silly girl, why are you crying? Hurry up and accept the red envelope! If you don't accept it, then you can take all these things home with Zhengjun later!" Bai Xiuhui started to threaten.
Lu Zhengjun patted Su Yueya on the shoulder, indicating that she should accept it.
"Thank you, Mom and Dad." Su Yueya put away the red envelope, thinking that she would save it when she got home!
"Oh, right, I made the desserts too, hurry up and bring them out for a taste!"
Walnut shortbread, pumpkin cakes, and red bean glutinous rice cake.
"Pumpkin pancakes and red bean glutinous rice cakes can be eaten directly, or steamed in a pot if you want them hot."
"You can just eat the walnut cookies directly."
"Mom and Dad, you should try it!"
Lu Zhengjun had never eaten it before, but he was faster than his parents, grabbing a piece of walnut pastry and taking a bite.
"It's delicious, especially crispy, with a crunchy texture in your mouth, and it's both sweet and fragrant."
Lu Anguo and Bai Xiuhui ate it and both gave it a thumbs up.
It's really delicious!
It's just as good as what you buy outside.
