Jiang Youcai was speechless and just laughed at her for being unreasonable.
Su Aiqian's chubby face showed a hint of pride: "Don't worry, I will definitely teach my daughter everything I have learned in my life, but we have to take it slowly! Besides, I'm not teaching her these things so that she can serve her in-laws or her husband, but so that she has the ability to survive when she has no one to rely on!"
However, as long as Jiang Mianmian still treats her like her daughter, she will be willing to serve her every day.
Su Ai hummed a little tune as she fried the spring rolls even more enthusiastically. These were filled with red bean paste, Mianmian's favorite.
Jiang Mianmian was "ruthlessly" kicked out of the kitchen by her mother, so she could only lean against the kitchen door frame and chat with her mother in a casual manner.

"Oh, so you were worried about your dad getting tired?" Su Aiqian smiled. "It's alright, your dad isn't tired! It's not easy for Xiao Huo to come home, so his parents will want him to stay a few more days! I've already talked to him, and we've agreed that he can stay at home for two weeks!"
