In the Xu family's yard, the family was cleaning up the mess after the banquet.

Some of the tables and chairs used in the banquet were borrowed from neighbors, and they had to be counted and returned to the neighbors.

Xu Zhengyang and Xu Fugui carried the table and went door to door to return the money.

Li's second sister Zhou Ying was washing and scrubbing in the yard.

The children in the family were also busy, putting things in place and sweeping the floor.

For a moment, the atmosphere at home was quite harmonious.

Shen Jiaojiao and two others walked in from outside.

Xu Mo parked the bicycle and Liu Xiaolan came out of the kitchen.

"Jiaojiao, you guys are back! What's going on? What did the police say?"

"It has been confirmed that Wang Song is an enemy spy and will never be able to get out again. He kidnapped me this time in order to get me to give him money and supplies."

Shen Jiaojiao didn't go into detail. After all, there are many things that the fewer people know, the better.

The more you know, the less safe you are.

Liu Xiaolan sighed, "Fortunately, that bastard didn't hurt you. It's really the blessing of your ancestors."

Liu Xiaolan took Shen Jiaojiao's hand and said concernedly, "Jiaojiao, you weren't scared today, were you?"

"no."

"By the way, I have made chicken soup. I have been stewing it for the whole afternoon. I also put mushrooms in it. It is very delicious. I will serve it to you."

Liu Xiaolan was talking happily, and seemed to have overlooked someone again.

She looked at Shen Tongwen and smiled awkwardly, "Haha, Jiaojiao Second Brother must be hungry too. Dinner is ready, but I don't know if it suits your taste. If it doesn't taste good, don't complain. Or tell me what you want to eat and I'll make it for you."

Liu Xiaolan has been used to being carefree all her life, and she is always noisy at home, so it's quite awkward for her to suddenly become so sophisticated.

When speaking, Liu Xiaolan was afraid of biting her tongue.

But this is Jiaojiao's family! We must give Jiaojiao some respect.

Otherwise, if her image as a shrew was known by her family, she would be worried sick.

Therefore, in order to reassure Jiaojiao's family, she should be more restrained these days!

If you can talk nicely, never yell.

Well...she needs to learn to be gentle.

Shen Tongwen didn't know what kind of mood he should have when facing this family.

Although it was their sister who was at fault first, the Xu family was also a victim.

But Shen Tongwen loved his sister so much that he simply ignored the stupid things his sister did.

Instead, he had some criticisms towards the Xu family.

Maybe he was disappointed with his sister, but he didn't want to blame Jiaojiao, so he took this contradiction out on other people.

Why!

He was also reflecting on himself, wondering if he was too obsessed with his sister and ended up raising her to death.

But, even if she was abandoned, she was still his sister. He could criticize her in his heart, but others could not.

Shen Tongwen's facial expression was a little stiff.

But his good upbringing prevented him from doing anything that would anger her.

"Don't bother, just be casual." Shen Tongwen said without any emotion.

Although his tone was emotionless, in Shen Jiaojiao's opinion, her second brother had already begun to accept the Xu family.

Well... maybe it's called compromise!

Shen Jiaojiao actually felt very guilty.

She knew she had hurt her family.

However, if she didn't do this, she and Xu Mo would definitely encounter many obstacles.

In her previous life, she chose to marry Fang Qinghe, but her family would never agree.

When her grandfather found out, he secretly hired someone to beat Fang Qinghe half to death, and almost caused a death.

It was Shen Jiaojiao who noticed something was wrong and stopped her grandfather's violent behavior in time, thus saving Fang Qinghe's life.

But the grandfather still refused to let her marry Fang Qinghe, so Shen Jiaojiao threatened to commit suicide and even pointed a gun at her head in front of the grandfather.

Grandpa was disappointed, but in the end, he had no choice but to let Shen Jiaojiao get married.

Shen Jiaojiao didn't dare tell her family in advance because she knew her grandfather's stubbornness.

She collected her thoughts and smiled to adjust the atmosphere.

"I almost forgot. I haven't introduced them to you yet. Mom, this is my second brother Shen Tongwen, second brother, this is my mother-in-law Liu Xiaolan, over there is my eldest brother Xu Zhengyang, next to him is my second brother Xu Fugui, that is my eldest sister-in-law Zhou Ying, and my second sister-in-law Li Ermei..."

After Shen Jiaojiao introduced everyone one by one, they got to know each other.

Liu Xiaolan breathed a sigh of relief.

She thought Jiaojiao’s family was difficult to get along with!

But I feel that Jiaojiao's second brother is quite polite and handsome, he is really a talented person.

Liu Xiaolan invited the three of them to go to the kitchen to drink chicken soup.

She filled a big bowl for Shen Jiaojiao and also gave her a big chicken drumstick.

The chicken is authentic farm chicken.

Although the chickens nowadays are not fat, the meat tastes very fragrant.

The chicken soup is orange-yellow in color and has a particularly rich aroma.

In a few decades, you won’t be able to drink such authentic chicken soup in big cities.

Shen Jiaojiao held the bowl and took a big sip.

It is really satisfying.

It tastes so good that it makes me want to cry.

Liu Xiaolan also served Shen Tongwen a bowl of chicken soup and put a fat chicken drumstick in it.

The chicken legs in Shen Jiaojiao and Shen Tongwen’s bowls were incredible. Almost all the meat of the whole chicken was on the legs.

So there is not much meat left on the chicken skeleton.

What Liu Xiaolan gave Xu Mosheng was a bowl of chicken soup with a few mushrooms and a chicken skeleton.

Xu Mo didn't think there was anything wrong and drank the soup in a few gulps.

Liu Xiaolan brought the braised pork to the table and took out six steamed buns made from white flour.

These were specially left by Liu Xiaolan for Shen Jiaojiao and Xu Mo during the lunch banquet.

Neither of them sat at the table for lunch, so naturally they couldn't eat anything good.

Liu Xiaolan was more thoughtful and hid some braised pork.

After all, meat is a rare thing nowadays.

If it wasn't hidden well, it would have been gone long ago.

"You three should finish all of this. If it's not enough, I'll make you some more pancakes."

Shen Jiaojiao: "Mom, have you eaten yet?"

"We had already eaten, but we didn't wait for you because we didn't know when you would come back."

Liu Xiaolan took another bowl and put some braised pork in it for Shen Jiaojiao.

"Jiaojiao, this meat is not made of wild boar. Try it, it's delicious. Mom is best at making braised pork."

Shen Jiaojiao couldn't refuse Liu Xiaolan's kindness, so she picked up a piece of braised pork.

However, braised pork is made with pork belly with alternating fat and lean parts, and Shen Jiaojiao doesn't like eating fatty meat.

I don't know how to start.

Xu Mo knew that Shen Jiaojiao was entangled in the issue of fat, so he said naturally, "You eat the lean ones, and give me the fat ones."

Shen Jiaojiao was quite embarrassed, but she really couldn't eat fatty meat, so she used chopsticks to separate the fat and put the fatty part into Xu Mo's bowl.

Xu Mo ate the fat with steamed buns.

Shen Tongwen sighed silently, feeling a little aggrieved.

In the past, all the things that Jiaojiao refused to eat were given to him.

Now even this little bit of treatment is gone.

Shen Tongwen ate with gritted teeth.

But the food this lady cooks is really delicious!

The steamed buns are delicious, the chicken soup is tasty, and even the braised pork is cooked to perfection.

This reminded him of his own situation.

There are so many people in the family, and no one can cook.

Don’t even mention his mother. Every time his mother cooks, everyone in the family will get poisoned and have diarrhea.

It’s bad enough that he can’t cook, the key is that he likes to play drums even though he can’t cook.

To be honest...whenever the people in the Shen family saw Mother Shen cooking, they were so scared that their calves would tremble.
