"Chengcheng, these years, Dad has been busy with work and rarely cared about you. Have you ever blamed Dad?" After thinking for a moment, Lu Chengyi couldn't help but ask this question.

Lu Chengcheng shook his head. "No, I've known since I was a kid that my father's work was very important. When I was in middle school, I heard that some of my classmates went to the countryside after graduating from junior high school so that their stepmother's sister could stay in the provincial capital. At least I finished high school."

Lu Chengyi: “…”

This kind of thing is not uncommon in his class.

Many people are born in rural areas, and many of them stayed in the city because they went to college. However, some people got married and had children in the countryside. After coming to the provincial capital, they felt that it was not suitable, so they chose to divorce their wives in the countryside and keep the children with them.

But what awaits these children is often different treatment from their stepmothers. It is common to sacrifice their interests to keep their younger siblings in the provincial capital. He was able to marry Lan Lili because of her generosity. Although she did not treat Cheng Cheng as her own daughter, there was nothing inappropriate about it.

Seeing Lu Chengyi's sad face, Lu Chengcheng couldn't help but think of what Ruan Peiling said to her, asking him to remember your mother and the good times they had in the past. Lan Lili is indispensable in his life, and so is your mother.

The room suddenly fell silent. Lu Chengcheng smiled and said, "Dad, let's eat. The food is getting cold."

Lu Chengyi nodded, "Okay, let's have a good meal together today."

Lu Chengyi ate the food in big mouthfuls. Unconsciously, the long-missed taste seemed to have returned. This was the taste of his ex-wife's cooking. She liked to add a lot of seasonings and heavy flavors. She was a typical Northwestern person.

"Chengcheng, your cooking style is very similar to your mother's. Back then, she liked to add more salt to her cooking, but the result was..."

"As a result, you laughed at her. Our salt is free."

Before Lu Chengyi finished speaking, Lu Chengcheng said with a smile.

"How do you know?" Lu Chengyi asked in surprise, "You weren't even born at that time."

Lu Chengcheng smiled faintly, "These things were all recorded in my mother's diary. I have read it many times, so I know."
