He was unhappy about being stared at like that by his younger brother, but he didn't lash out on the spot.

He just shook his head, "How could that be? I also really want my second sister to be home."

He said this against his will, thinking that Liu Shi'an wouldn't be able to tell.

But Liu Shi'an was intelligent and saw through the perfunctory tone in his words.

Then, he shut his mouth, even though he was about to say something.

I'm still young, and it wouldn't be good for me to go against my third brother.

So he put away his coldness and nodded obediently, "I also want my second sister to stay at home."

Seeing this, Liu Shi'an pursed his lips; he didn't believe his third brother's words.

However, he didn't argue with his third brother about these things anymore, because it was pointless.

He was just a little sad, feeling that he was about to lose his second sister.

Liu Shiping could clearly see his awkwardness, but he didn't say anything more, since it wasn't his business anyway.

During the Chinese New Year, Grandma Wang gave Liu Shile a few red envelopes, and Lin Ziming invited him to visit Liu's family on the third day of the Lunar New Year.

Grandma Wang hesitated for a moment, but finally agreed.

She wouldn't feel at ease unless she saw Xiaolin's family in person.

Even though she knew Lele was a child with her own opinions, it didn't matter.

After all, in her eyes, Lele was still just a child.

Although this is supposed to be just an engagement rather than a wedding, she is still quite concerned about it.

Another one is Hua Zhenghe. His apprentice once came to see him in the middle of the night, and a few days later, he received a telegram from her.

Hua Zhenghe was somewhat annoyed by what the telegram said.

His beloved apprentice has grown up and may be getting engaged, but as his master, he cannot participate.

He sighed and in the end only sent Liu Shile a telegram, and then sent her a lot of things.

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Liu Shixi took her husband and children back to her parents' home.

She was a little anxious and urged him to come over after breakfast.

In her opinion, the family probably didn't have a good New Year.

Although we have prepared a lot of New Year's goods at home, we don't really have anyone in our family who can cook well.

Before I even got home, I could smell the delicious aroma wafting from inside.

"Wow, this smells so good!"

Zhang Shoujun, with his sharp nose, immediately let out a surprised "Eh!"

Liu Shile sniffed and also smelled the fragrance.

She was puzzled, since no one in her family was a good cook and could make such delicious food.

"Big sister, brother-in-law, you're back! Da Shuang, Xiao Shuang, do you still remember your little uncle?"

Although Liu Shi'an is small, she has sharp eyes. She greeted her older sister with a happy smile as soon as she saw her.

"Uncle, uncle, remember uncle."

The twins' names were very simple; their nicknames were Da Shuang and Xiao Shuang.

They spent a lot of time at the government office during this period, and although they were young, they still had a strong impression of their uncle who often played with them.

Liu Shiping then took the bags and packages from her older sister and brother-in-law.

And they were beckoned to come inside.

"Shiping, is someone making something delicious?" The aroma smells amazing, like they're frying crispy pork.

Liu Shiping nodded happily and said, "Yes, my second sister and her future brother-in-law are frying crispy pork."

Liu Shixi was about to enter the house when she heard these words and almost tripped on the threshold.

Fortunately, Zhang Shoujun caught her quickly, preventing her from falling.

"Xi'er, be careful not to fall." Zhang Shoujun was very good to his wife, and gently said as he helped her up.

If it were at another time, Liu Shixi would definitely be blushing with embarrassment right now.

But right now, she had no time to care about that; her gaze was fixed on her third brother.

"Shiping, what did you say? What future brother-in-law? Is Dad arranging a marriage for Lele?"

How could that be? Given Lele's personality, it's impossible for her dad to find her a boyfriend.

Liu Shiping shook her head. "It seems to be my second sister's friend. She came to our door on her own. She just arrived the day before yesterday."

As for the specifics of what happened, how would he know?

Upon hearing this, Liu Shixi steadied herself and hurriedly headed to the kitchen.

Zhang Shoujun stopped her, "Xi'er, what do you want to do? Go see your father first."

At this point, he turned to Liu Shiping with a smile and asked, "Shiping, are Dad and Uncle home?"

Liu Shiping shook his head. If his father and uncle were home, they would have come out long ago. Why haven't they shown up yet?

"Dad and Uncle have gone out to visit neighbors. Eldest sister and brother-in-law, why don't you come in and sit for a while?"

With the adults at home away, he is the pillar of the family.

At this moment, Liu Shiping felt that he was particularly important, unlike his younger brother who couldn't help with anything.

"Big sister, big brother-in-law, Happy New Year!" Liu Shile was busy in the kitchen with Lin Ziming, but she also heard the commotion outside.

And so, it poked its head out to greet us.

Upon seeing her sister, Liu Shixi ignored what her husband had just said and went straight to the kitchen.

Then, she froze.

What did she see?

A very handsome man with his sleeves rolled up is putting meat into a pot.

She rubbed her eyes, thinking she was seeing things, but when she looked again, the scene remained unchanged.

What, what is this?

She could hardly believe her eyes and almost cried out in surprise.

"Happy New Year, big sister. I'm Lin Ziming." Lin Ziming glanced over here briefly, greeted him with a smile, and then continued with his work.

Seeing his wife standing motionless at the kitchen door for a long time, Zhang Shoujun also walked over out of curiosity.

Then, he was somewhat stunned.

The scene he saw was exactly the same as what his wife saw.

He could hardly believe his eyes. This guy was not only handsome, but he could also cook.

Wow, my sister-in-law is really lucky to have found such a high-quality man?

"Hehe, Xiaolin, Lele, Happy New Year to you too."

However, he reacted quickly, only stunned for a moment before coming to his senses.

He tugged at his wife's sleeve and then greeted her cheerfully.

Lin Ziming greeted him and warmly invited them to try the crispy fried pork he had just made.

Actually, he fried not only crispy pork today, but also fish. He was going to use the fish to make spicy and sour fish.

Well, the main thing is that after coating the fish in flour and frying it, it can be stored for a longer time.

As for storage, it's fine to leave it out for three to five days in winter.

Liu Shixi only came to her senses at this moment and immediately felt a little embarrassed.

Logically speaking, regardless of whether this person is Lele's partner or not, everyone who comes is a guest, so how can we let the guest cook for themselves?

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel a little resentful towards her father. There were guests at home, yet he still went out to visit other people's homes.

Little did she know that the reason they were so at ease was because they truly didn't consider Lin Ziming an outsider.

Well, okay, only Liu Weisong would do something like this, treating others like family.

Uncle Liu didn't actually want to go out with his older brother, since Xiao Lin was a guest in the family.

Although a man should make a good impression when he visits his wife's family, it seems he shouldn't be doing things like cooking.

However, when he saw the two young people working together so well outside, he decisively decided to go with his older brother.

He realized that the other person was enjoying it!
