“My mother-in-law says that we are destined to be together, and I think so too. He is my own son,” Lin Wanwan said, patting his head.

Li Mei shook her head and said, "There's no such thing as a lot of fate. Children are very sensitive. They know best who treats them well. So it's because you treat them well that they are close to you."

Lin Wanwan didn't speak, she just smiled.

"I'll go get some white fungus for Tuanzi, and sister-in-law, have another bowl too, just to keep Tuanzi and me company."

"How can I refuse when you put it that way?" Li Mei shook her head and said.

"Then sister-in-law, please don't refuse, have another bowl."

Lin Wanwan filled four bowls, took one to Lin Xiaohai, and told him to read after eating and not to delay.

"Sister-in-law, give me the baby, I'll feed him."

"I was thinking when I was eating it, why did you cut the white fungus into such small pieces? Turns out it was for the child."

“He’s ten months old now, and I thought he should be able to eat, so I fed him a few meatballs and spinach at noon.”

Li Mei nodded, "You can feed her a little now. You're so thoughtful. I was never this attentive when I was raising my child."

"Is my sister-in-law making fun of me for being fussy?" Lin Wanwan joked with her with a smile.

Li Mei glanced at her. "You little devil, didn't you just say you wanted me to teach you how to sew?"

"Let's eat first, then we'll go look at it. There's no rush."

After finishing her meal, Lin Wanwan showed her the curtains she had sewn, saying, "No matter how I sew them, they don't look good. I'm so anxious."

Li Mei smiled and said, "The way you pieced the fabric together does look nice, but the way you sew it really doesn't look good."

She took the scissors and unstitched the sewn piece, then sat down at the sewing machine and quickly finished sewing one. "Is this the effect you wanted?"

"Yes, sister-in-law, you're amazing! It's so beautiful! You have no idea how many times I had to take it apart. How are you so skillful? It's so pretty!" Lin Wanwan kept praising Li Mei as she looked at the curtains she had sewn.

"It's not that exaggerated. You'll get the hang of it if you try it a few more times," Li Mei said with a smile.

"Sister-in-law, please help me. I really can't figure it out. I'll treat you to dinner tonight. Sister, from now on you're my sister," Lin Wanwan said, taking her hand.

Li Mei couldn't stop laughing when she saw her like that. "Your brother-in-law and child are still waiting for me to eat at home. I'll come and help you with that tomorrow."

"No, no, no, let your brother-in-law and the kids come over for dinner. I'll cook, I'm a great cook. You and your brother-in-law can try my cooking too."

Li Mei smiled at her and asked, "Did you have this idea in mind from the beginning?"

"No, I was originally planning to have Lu Feng invite you and your brother-in-law to dinner, but since your cooking is so good, I don't want to let you go," Lin Wanwan said with a grin.
