Yuan Jie, pregnant with her second child, fell into a coma after an accident. While her beloved Sun Aimin did everything to save her life, she entered a long and strange dream. In the dream, her fa...

Chapter 128 Let’s Eat Secretly

Things in Qingyang City have been almost dealt with, and Sun Aimin is also going to start sending his son Sun Mian to go to school in Mafang City.

In less than a week, it was September 1st, the start of the school year. He returned to Qingyang City to register his son's household registration and then contacted Luo Changgeng's family.

Luo Changgeng made arrangements with his friends at the local education bureau, so Sun Mian was able to go through the admission procedures smoothly after arriving in Mafang City.

Sun Aimin told Yuan Jie about his plan. It was not suitable for his son to meet her and others in Qingyang City.

The experience of being monitored by someone made them feel very scared when they recalled it. Especially since the other party not only replaced their own child, but also wanted to harm the child in Yuan Jie's belly, which made them unsure of what the other party was trying to do.

Once they know that their son has returned to the Sun family, will they do anything to harm the child?

So they have to be cautious until they fade out of each other's sight.

Before returning to his hometown of Liuwangzhuang to pick up his son, Sun Aimin told Yuan Jie, "Just rest here and recuperate. I'll send our son to school first. When I'm settled there, I'll come and pick you and your daughter up."

He also told Yuan's parents and other family members in Qingyang City: "Whether they are acquaintances or strangers, except for family members, if anyone asks what I'm doing, tell them I'm out looking for my child."

Afterwards, he went to the train station to buy a sleeper ticket to Mafang City on the third day, and then went to the bus station near the train station to buy a bus ticket back to his hometown county. After an hour and a half drive, he got off the bus and found a tricycle at the station to return to Liuwangzhuang.

At this time, the old couple of the Sun family were enjoying the pleasure of taking care of their grandchildren.

Sun Aimin’s older brothers are more than ten years older than him, and the youngest child is already in junior high school.

The elder sister, Sun Aihua, was the third child, six years older than Sun Aimin, but she had been married for many years and had no children. The couple had consulted many doctors, but none of them could cure them.

Their family had urged them to adopt a child while they still had the energy, take care of him, and have someone to rely on in the future. But the couple was unwilling to do so, so the family remained a couple.

In just a few days, the Sun family has made Xiaoshu, now Sun Mian, the darling of the family.

The other members of the Sun family may not have such a big objection to Sun Xiaohao, but it is different for old man Sun who is keen on cultivating the cooking skills of his children and grandchildren.

Ever since he found out that Sun Xiaohao was a fake, Old Man Sun has been sighing when he thinks of his behavior during the few times he returned to his hometown.

Looking at his smart and sensible grandson now, his brows immediately filled with joy.

He thought that the roots of the Sun family had grown crooked, and that good bamboo had produced bad shoots. It turned out that the bad shoots had nothing to do with the Sun family at all.

Old man Sun feels that he can never cherish his grandson enough. He takes him wherever he goes these days. However, when introducing his grandson to outsiders, he always says that he is the child adopted recently by his daughter.

Sun Aihua is an elementary school teacher in the county town. Since school has not started yet, she stayed at her mother's house for a few days, so the villagers did not doubt her statement.

When Sun Aimin arrived home, Old Man Sun was showing Sun Mian the red peppers he had grown in his own private plot of land.

The peppers aren't ripe yet, but that doesn't stop Old Man Sun from explaining the varieties, growing conditions, and characteristics of peppers to his grandson. He even brought out several varieties of red peppers from his home, some sun-dried from his own garden last year, and some bought from the market.

He asked Sun Mian to observe the colors and shapes of these different varieties of peppers, and introduced the main production areas and uses of different varieties of red peppers.

Old Man Sun said to Sun Mian, "When we get home later, Grandpa will teach you how to use these peppers to make delicious dishes or seasonings. If you're not afraid of spicy food, you can try them."

Then, like an old child, he whispered, "But don't let your grandma watch you while you eat, or she'll start nagging grandpa again..."

Sun Mian understood and replied, "Don't worry, Grandpa. When Grandma goes out to visit friends, we can eat secretly. Hehe..."

After the grandfather and the other made a happy agreement, it was almost noon and Grandpa Sun took his grandson's hand and walked happily home.

Although he is a chef, Old Man Sun rarely cooks at home except under special circumstances. Recently, his grandson came back, and Old Man Sun was so happy that he wanted to pass on all his cooking skills to his little grandson.

This child in particular is smart, has dexterous hands, and is very focused when learning things. He is easier to teach than his cousins.

In addition, I heard that my grandson was interested in traditional Chinese medicine, and he also met a very famous old Chinese medicine doctor who was willing to accept him as his last disciple.

Old man Sun felt that the medicinal diet recipe book that had been passed down in his family for who knows how many generations would finally have the day to flourish.

Traditional Chinese medicine has always said that "medicine and food have the same origin," and medicinal food is not uncommon. However, it is very difficult for people to achieve the purpose of curing diseases and recuperating through delicious food.

Old Man Sun had heard from his late grandfather and father that their ancestors had a royal chef, and this recipe book of medicinal foods was passed down by that chef. It was said that because the emperor at the time was very concerned about health preservation, he had the imperial physician and the royal chef jointly research this recipe book.

However, after experiencing turbulent times, the family genealogy was lost somewhere long ago, so there is no way to verify it.

The reason why this medicinal diet recipe book cannot be leaked is, firstly, because it is a family heirloom of the Sun family, and secondly, if it is obtained by someone who is not well-trained, it may backfire and turn its purpose from health care and life-saving into harm.

Because the Sun family medicinal diet recipe is only a basic recipe, the specific preparation needs to be different for each person, and the type and amount of ingredients should be determined based on the Chinese medicine syndrome differentiation. In this way, people can regulate their bodies and treat and prevent diseases while enjoying delicious food.

When Old Man Sun and Sun Mian returned home, Sun Aimin also arrived home a few minutes later.

Sun Mian missed his father terribly when he saw him after not seeing him for a few days. Although he was young, he knew who was good to him and who was bad.

During the few days he spent at the Sun family, he truly experienced the love and care from his blood relatives.

Whether it was his father, grandparents, or even other people in the Sun family, they all showed him great kindness. That kind of love could be felt deeply by him just through their eyes, even without words or actions.

Seeing Sun Aimin, he was no longer as unfamiliar as when they first met. He ran over quickly, threw himself into Sun Aimin's arms, and sweetly called out "Dad!"

When Sun Aimin saw his son being so lively and close at this time, his nose felt sore and he almost cried.
