"Jingchuan, look what a good wife you married." Aunt Lu praised, "You have such a good wife, you must treasure her and love her well."

"Don't worry, everyone. I will take good care of Lili." Lu Jingchuan looked at Shen Li deeply and promised solemnly word by word.

A thin layer of red spread across Shen Li's porcelain-white face.

"I was so busy talking that I almost forgot about the important matter." Mother Lu stood up quickly and said, "I'll go to the kitchen to cook."

"Mom, let me help you." Shen Li was about to stand up.

"Hey, how can you, the daughter-in-law, be so busy? You should just sit in the living room and chat with everyone." Mother Lu quickly pushed Shen Li down.

"Pear, do you like sweet or salty food? Or sour or spicy?"

"I can do anything."

"So do you have any dietary restrictions? Do you eat green onions, ginger, garlic, and cilantro?"

"I'm fine with anything. I don't mind eating anything."

"Is that so? Then what flavor do you prefer?" Mother Lu asked affectionately.

"Hmm...I want something slightly spicy, is that ok?"

"Of course, just wait, I'll go to the kitchen and make you a few delicious dishes!" Mother Lu said with a smile, and then she walked quickly towards the kitchen.

Lu Jingchuan's aunt and eldest aunt also went to the kitchen to help and were busy.

Father Lu brought over a plate with a set of tea sets, freshly squeezed orange juice, and a fruit platter on it. "Pear, I don't know if you prefer tea or juice, but I've brought it all."

"I just cut a fruit platter. Take a look and see if there's anything you like in it."

"Thank you, Dad." Shen Li's eyes felt slightly warm.

"We are all family, there is no need to be polite." Mr. Lu said with a smile.

"Sister-in-law, I've grown up so big, and I've never eaten a meal cooked by my mother!" Lu Yinglang said sourly, "She really loves you and big brother. As for me, today I am really benefiting from you two."

"You bastard, when you find another one, you can also have a meal cooked by your mother!" Father Lu glared at Lu Yinglang.

Lu Yinglang smiled playfully, "As for me, I've been busy with my career recently. I can't find anyone suitable. If someone likes me, I will definitely bring her home!"

"I don't know what kind of woman you would like." Father Lu glanced at him helplessly.

Father Lu's eyes fell on Shen Li, "Shen Li, a few days ago, Jingchuan wrote to us and told us everything that happened on the island."

"Uh-huh."

"We originally thought that Jingchuan, a grown man, would not be able to take care of the two children, so we sent Li Cuicui to the island to help... We thought that Li Cuicui's father was our driver, and Li Cuicui and Jingchuan grew up together. I thought we all knew each other well, and she would be able to stay with Jingchuan and take care of him. I didn't expect that it would cause you so much trouble..." Father Lu said guiltily, "We have already fired Li Cuicui's father."

"Kiri, this matter is all our fault for not thinking it through."

"Dad, you guys have done a good job," Shen Li smiled, "It was Li Cuicui who had evil intentions, it has nothing to do with you."

"Fortunately, you discovered Li Cuicui's true face earlier! Otherwise, Jingchuan would still be kept in the dark, and the two children would still be abused!" Father Lu said with great sorrow.

"I will take care of the two children from now on, and this kind of thing will never happen again." Shen Li comforted.

"It's a blessing for our Lu family to marry you!" Father Lu's eyes were filled with tears, "Li Li, now that Jingchuan has you, we can rest assured!"

Shen Li curled her lips and smiled softly.

In my whole life, whether before or after marriage, I have never felt the warmth of home.

However, Lu Jingchuan's family was very considerate and caring towards her. She had never felt such a harmonious and warm family atmosphere before.

Only when she came to Lu Jingchuan's home did she feel what the warmth of home was.

Such a family atmosphere is great.

…

When Lu Jingchuan passed by the kitchen, he was called over by his mother.

Mother Lu, wearing an apron, was cooking while whispering, "Jingchuan, your daughter-in-law looks like a good girl who can support her children."

"Yeah." Lu Jingchuan's stern face softened a little.

"With such a good daughter-in-law, when are you going to have a child?" Mother Lu whispered.

At that time, the eldest brother Jingchuan was dead and had not found a partner, which made the whole family anxious. In addition, Jingchuan had lost the two children, and the whole family was even more discouraged and felt that there was no hope for him to find a partner.

After all, who is willing to be a stepmother to someone else's child?

But I didn't expect that Jingchuan actually found it!

Jingchuan told them in the letter he sent to Northwest China how good Shen Li was to children and how many good things Shen Li did as a person. They had never seen Jingchuan praise anyone in their entire lives, which showed that Shen Li was a very good girl.

It is Jingchuan's blessing to marry such a good girl!

Lu Jingchuan was silent, with something complicated in his dark eyes.

"I know the two orphans of martyrs are very important to you, and you want to be responsible for them. I know you are a good man with a sense of responsibility, but you also have to have a child of your own, right? Even if you don't think about yourself, you have to think about Shen Li! She is so young and follows you. How can you raise someone else's child without a child of your own?" said Mother Lu with a frown.

"We don't want to have children in the short term. As for when to have children, we'll talk about it later." Lu Jingchuan pursed his lips and said.

"That's good. The more children we have, the more lively the house will be. I'm looking forward to the birth of my first grandson. Of course, a granddaughter would be great too." Mother Lu skillfully placed the dishes on the tray, and my aunt and eldest aunt each carried a plate and walked towards the restaurant.

"There's no rush to have a baby." Lu Jingchuan said in a deep voice, "Let's talk about the future later."

…

Soon, a large table full of dishes was placed on the table.

On the table there were spicy fried chicken, braised rabbit head, braised lion head, sauced lamb chops, halved beef, yam ribs, roasted whole lamb... a table full of dishes, each one was so delicious that it made people salivate.

"Shen Li, try this braised beef." Mother Lu used a serving chopstick to pick up a piece of beef and put it in the bowl in front of Shen Li. "In our northwest, although the products are poor, the animal husbandry is developed! This time when he returned to Beijing, your father specially brought some braised food from there! Try it and see if it tastes good!"

Shen Li took a bite of the food with her chopsticks, and her eyes lit up. "Mm, it's delicious. Thank you, Mom and Dad!"

The beef and mutton of this era are all pure meat, unlike the hormone-fed and artificially synthesized beef and mutton in the future.

The texture of this meat is very rich, very chewy, and very salty. This kind of meat will taste good even without any seasoning.

"Try this mutton." Lu Jingchuan picked up a piece of mutton with chopsticks and put it into Shen Li's bowl.

Soon, the meat in Shen Li's bowl piled up like a mountain.

"Please stop picking food for me. I really can't eat any more." Shen Li smiled helplessly.
