Lu Zhengjun: "..."
He really wanted to tell her that his parents were perfectly healthy, and moreover, they were not short of money at all.
Unfortunately, he couldn't say.
"Okay, whatever you say." That was all Lu Zhengjun could say in the end.
Upon mentioning her mother-in-law, Su Yueya immediately thought of sending her some spiritual spring water.
She had secretly replaced the water in the water tank with spiritual spring water, but it should have been used up long ago, so she had to change it again.
However, there's nothing that can be done about it. They live alone now and can't go to their in-laws' house every day, so changing the water is naturally not easy.
“Honey, how about we go visit Mom this weekend?” Su Yueya suggested.
She has a few more days; she can use the spiritual spring to make something else, which she can then take to her mother-in-law's house and give to them.
It's inconvenient not living together, but fortunately, the spiritual spring can be added to anything. If she sends more and more frequently, it can achieve the same effect.
“Okay, I’ll listen to you.” Lu Zhengjun nodded.
Su Yueya is truly a wonderful wife, and she is also exceptionally kind to her mother-in-law.
Lu Zhengjun felt more and more that she had struck gold.
And they became increasingly reluctant to let go.
"Remember to tell your mother-in-law and the others, so they won't miss it if they're not home," Su Yueya reminded them.
"Okay, don't worry."
Lu Anguo and Bai Xiuhui were talking about missing their daughter-in-law a while ago, completely disregarding their own son Lu Zhengjun and just nagging him to bring his daughter-in-law over.
Lu Zhengjun wasn't unwilling, but she was afraid that if they spent too much time together, her secret might be exposed.
But it's really not right to never visit your parents.
The next day, while Lu Zhengjun was away from home, Su Yueya began to busy herself in her space, preparing to make some snacks with the spiritual spring water.
Su Yueya plans to make walnut shortbread, pumpkin cakes, and red bean glutinous rice cakes.
Walnut shortbread requires an oven, something Su Yueya had never known before. She figured it out by experimenting in the kitchen of her apartment, and it turned out to be incredibly useful.
As for the recipe, with the library there, there's no need to worry at all.
Su Yueya can find recipes for any pastry she wants to make. She just needs to prepare the necessary ingredients according to the list and then follow the steps.
Pumpkin pancakes and red bean glutinous rice cakes are even simpler; just follow the steps, steam them in a pot, and you're done!
Of course, Su Yueya replaced all the water sources with spiritual spring water.
Pastries made this way are not only delicious, but also good for the health of my parents-in-law.
"Besides snacks, I'll also make a braising base for my mother-in-law and the others, so they can braise some beef and pork, as well as chicken feet, chicken wings, eggs, and the like."
All the necessary spices were available. Su Yueya first washed the spices, drained the water, and set them aside for later use.
The broth will be made by simmering beef bones with spring water.
Heat the pan, add oil, then add spices to release their aroma.
The broth needs to be simmered slowly over low heat, but fortunately, it's not a big deal for Su Yueya since she's in the space.
Next, add the stir-fried spices and some auxiliary ingredients to the stock, bring it to a boil over high heat, then simmer over low heat. When the time is almost up, add caramel coloring to adjust the color.
When it was finished, the aroma was so wonderful it could be smelled for miles!
"I'll set some aside and keep it at home so I can make some braised food for my husband too."
No matter what she did, Su Yueya's first thought was always her husband.
"I haven't been paying much attention to the fields lately, let's go check on them!"
The fields are planted with a lot of fruit trees.
Su Yueya had a sudden inspiration: she could also bring some fruits and vegetables for her parents-in-law!
These are all grown using spiritual spring water. Although they are not as effective as drinking spiritual spring water directly, they are still very effective if consumed over a long period of time. They are much better than what my parents-in-law buy from the market!
Su Yueya quickly grabbed a ladle and carefully watered the crops in the field.
Having not done these kinds of chores for a long time, Su Yueya suddenly felt a bit sore in her back and waist after doing so much work all at once.
She quickly drank a large glass of the spiritual spring water.
Sure enough, after drinking the spiritual spring water, the discomfort quickly disappeared, and I felt refreshed again.
This made her even more convinced of her idea of letting her parents-in-law also drink from the spiritual spring.
The crops in the field are growing very well, but they are not yet ripe.
Fortunately, the warehouse was already full of fruits and vegetables that had been harvested automatically earlier. Su Yueya picked out some to take to her parents-in-law.
She moved from the apartment to her home beforehand to avoid arousing her husband's suspicion.
When Lu Zhengjun returned home on Friday night, he saw a lot of things packed up in the living room. He assumed that Su Yueya had gone out to buy them.
"Crescent Moon, did you buy these today?"
"What are these? Let me take them out and put them away for you."
Lu Zhengjun thought Su Yueya was too busy at home to tidy up, so he was just about to show off. But before he could even start, Su Yueya stopped him.
"Husband, don't open it!" Su Yueya hurriedly shouted.
"Why didn't you put it away properly?"
“I packed this specially. I’m going to visit my parents-in-law tomorrow, so I’ll bring it to them then.”
This was an opportunity that Su Yueya had worked so hard to create, so she naturally wanted to bring as many people as possible.
We can't take any more out!
"Crescent Moon, why are you being so polite?"
Lu Zhengjun thought that Su Yueya had gone out to buy it specially so that she wouldn't go back to her parents' house empty-handed.
He really needs to have a serious talk with Su Yueya about this.
"Our parents are already very happy that we're going home. There's no need for us to bring anything; that would just make us seem distant!"
"Crescent Moon, my parents are your parents too, there's no need to be so formal."
But these things are all from my heart!
Su Yueya explained that not all the items inside were bought by her; some were even made by her own hands!
"These snacks weren't bought; I made them at home these past few days. And this braising liquid base—I made it myself. My parents can easily make some braised dishes at home later."
"Besides, it's just some vegetables and fruits, nothing that's expensive. But they're all so delicious, we can't just eat them all ourselves, we have to think of Mom and Dad!"
Lu Zhengjun didn't take it seriously, but he finally understood why his parents kept mentioning bringing Su Yueya back.
Who wouldn't like this daughter-in-law?
"Okay, whatever you say." Lu Zhengjun didn't take it to heart.
After all, Lu Anguo and Bai Xiuhui were not short of money. Although they did not pursue the best in terms of food, clothing and daily necessities, they never skimped on themselves.
The elderly couple will be overjoyed if their daughter-in-law shows them some filial piety.
The following day was Saturday.
Early in the morning, Su Yueya and Lu Zhengjun carried large bags and small packages to their parents' house.
