Not to mention that Bai Xiuhui would cough occasionally to maintain her image despite her poor health.
Su Yueya was anxious just listening to this!
"Mom, you've been coughing. Why don't you go out and rest for a while? I'll make the soup." Su Yueya offered her suggestion.
"Don't worry, Zhengjun really likes the soup I make. Besides, I also want my father to try my cooking."
Bai Xiuhui thought to herself, "The child wants to show his filial piety, and I can't stop him!"
Besides, making soup doesn't take much effort.
"Okay, you can make the soup."
Tonight's dish is loofah and meatball soup.
Mince the meat with a good balance of fat and lean meat into a paste, add some flour and water, mix well, and then shape it into small balls.
Cut the loofah into strips.
Boil water, bring it to a boil, add loofah, add meatballs, and bring it to a boil again.
The loofah and meatball soup is ready.
It's really not difficult.
Su Yueya secretly replaced the tap water with spiritual spring water at every step that required adding water.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law worked together and quickly prepared dinner.
"Dinner's ready!" Bai Xiuhui called out towards the kitchen entrance.
Meanwhile, Lu Anguo and Lu Zhengjun had already cleared the table.
The food was served, and the family of four sat around it.
"Mom, you've been coughing a lot, you should drink more soup." Su Yueya said, taking the initiative to serve Bai Xiuhui a bowl of soup and adding two meatballs.
“Yes, Mom, you should listen to Yueya. Yueya has been reading medical books a lot lately, she knows about these things,” Lu Zhengjun chimed in.
"Okay, okay." Bai Xiuhui happily drank her soup.
Lu Anguo just watched longingly.
He doesn't lift a finger.
If the daughter-in-law serves soup to the wife, it wouldn't be right to show favoritism and not serve soup to him, would it?
"Dad, why aren't you eating?" Lu Zhengjun asked, puzzled, when he saw that Lu Anguo hadn't touched his chopsticks.
Lu Anguo: "..."
What an idiot!
But he just wouldn't move.
I refuse to believe I won't get to drink this bowl of soup that my daughter-in-law personally served me today!
Seeing Lu Anguo staring at her, then looking at the loofah and meatball soup in front of her, and then enviously glancing at the soup served in front of Bai Xiuhui, Su Yueya instantly understood.
He ladled out another bowl and handed it over.
"Dad, you can have some soup too," Su Yueya said sweetly.
"Hey!" Lu Anguo was delighted.
He took the soup, not even caring that it was hot, and drank a big mouthful, exclaiming in exaggerated praise.
"This soup is delicious! It's much better than the soup your mom usually makes!"
His tone was quite exaggerated, as if he had never had loofah and meatball soup before.
Lu Zhengjun: "..."
Is he addicted to acting?
It wasn't that Lu Zhengjun didn't believe it, but he had gotten used to Su Yueya's cooking lately and was used to dishes with added ingredients, so he wasn't as amazed as he was when he first ate Lu Anguo and Bai Xiuhui's food.
"Yeah?"
Lu Zhengjun was suspicious and quickly served herself a bowl.
Su Yueya looked at him expectantly.
"Honey, is it good?"
"Delicious, of course it's delicious!" Lu Zhengjun gave a thumbs up, but she was puzzled.
Isn't this the usual taste?
Lu Anguo was initially just being supportive; the soup was so hot that he swallowed it whole before he could even taste it.
How can you tell whether it tastes good or bad?
Upon closer examination, I discovered something unusual.
The meatballs are very tender, with evenly distributed fat, and they have a chewy texture. When you bite into them, they burst with juice.
The loofah was cooked until very soft, retaining the vegetable's original sweetness.
The broth is entirely infused with the aroma of loofah, combined with the fragrance of meat, creating a rich and complex flavor profile.
"It's really delicious, I want another bowl!"
This time, Lu Anguo took the initiative to serve himself a second bowl.
Sincere praise has absolutely nothing to do with whether or not someone is actually supporting the praise.
Bai Xiuhui also tried it.
She had made this loofah and meatball soup before, and it just tasted so-so. After all, it's hard to make it taste bad when you're using the raw materials.
But the one Su Yueya made today was really too delicious.
"I'd like another bowl."
The couple's behavior left Lu Zhengjun completely bewildered.
They were supposed to act it out a little, but wasn't it a bit over the top?
Lu Zhengjun quickly gave her parents a meaningful look, signaling them to tone it down.
So engrossed in the aroma of the loofah and meatball soup, the two didn't even bother to blink at him.
"Yueya, your soup tastes much better than mine, you're amazing!" Bai Xiuhui praised, liking Su Yueya more and more the more she looked at her.
Those initial concerns have now completely vanished.
"You're a lucky boy, you'll find a wife!" Lu Anguo said to his son.
Seeing that his parents liked Lu Zhengjun so much, he felt a little more at ease.
Su Yueya, on the other hand, was constantly praised by her in-laws, which made her a little embarrassed.
"Mom's cooking is delicious too," Su Yueya said shyly.
After she said that, Lu Anguo actually made a comparison in his mind.
Although his wife's cooking skills were indeed excellent, apart from this soup, all the other dishes today were cooked by his wife, and Lu Anguo was used to the taste.
To be honest, this soup really impressed them.
In particular, after drinking these two bowls of soup, Lu Anguo had a very subtle feeling.
It felt like my whole body felt much lighter.
After finishing their meal in a harmonious atmosphere and staying for a while, Lu Zhengjun left with Su Yueya.
He has other plans for tonight.
As soon as the two left, Lu Anguo and Bai Xiuhui began to discuss excitedly.
"Although this whole thing is a bit ridiculous, I think... Crescent Moon is really great! That rascal has good taste!" Lu Anguo chuckled, extremely satisfied. "She's just like me; she really put her heart into finding a wife!"
They've been married for a long time, and Bai Xiuhui was too lazy to expose her husband.
"The girl seems like a good girl, but I'm a little worried..."
Mothers always think more deeply.
Su Yueya's amnesia is always a ticking time bomb.
Who knows when it might explode?
When that moment finally arrives, the more happiness you have now, the more pain you will experience later.
"Honey, don't think about things that far ahead. Let's talk about the present! As long as the two kids are happy together, that's enough. Who can predict what will happen in the future? It's not like Yueya might suddenly decide she doesn't want Zhengjun anymore. What's wrong with our son?"
Bai Xiuhui nodded; there was indeed some truth to that.
By all accounts, Lu Zhengjun is a perfect match for marriage.
There's no reason why Su Yueya should remain infatuated with that heartless man after this comparison.
"Honey, I didn't mention it earlier, but didn't you feel much lighter after drinking the soup that Crescent Moon made?" Lu Anguo said in a very surprised tone.
At first, he thought he was just overthinking things, but since finishing his meal, he feels refreshed and energetic, unlike before when he would feel sleepy after eating.
Even though I ate a bit too much, I don't feel uncomfortable at all that my stomach is full.
"Hey, don't say that! I thought I was overthinking it, but it really feels very comfortable!" Bai Xiuhui agreed.
