He walked to his wife, held her shoulders, asked her to turn around, and the two of them walked out of the yard.

Mother Shen twisted her body unhappily, "Where are you taking me? I want to help in the kitchen?"

Whenever Shen Hao thought of the scene of his wife in the kitchen, he broke out in cold sweats.

"There are enough people in the kitchen. I'll take you to see the house that Jiaojiao and the others are building. It's in the back and it's almost finished."

Mother Shen's attention was immediately drawn away.

"Jiaojiao, are they still building a house?"

"Well, the green bricks and tiles used are quite impressive in the village."

Mother Shen immediately expressed her desire to go and take a look.

Just like that, Mr. Shen successfully got his wife away.

Mr. Shen in the yard breathed a sigh of relief.

After the two people outside had gone far away, he continued to deal with the rabbit in his hand.

Xu Laidong asked in confusion, "Why don't you let her into the kitchen?"

Mr. Shen recalled the days since Han Mei married into the Shen family.

She said a little aggrievedly, "The food she cooks is really terrible."

Not only can he not cook, he also likes to make trouble.

In addition, the Shen family was unwilling to dampen Han Mei's interest. After all, women in the Shen family had a higher status than men.

In other words, the men in the Shen family respect women very much.

So even if the food cooked by Mother Shen is particularly unpalatable, I have to endure it and eat it.

Over time, Mother Shen had the illusion that she was a good cook.

Why!

When will the Shen family be able to stand on their own feet?

At this point, Mr. Shen believes that all the men in his Shen family are cowards.

Including him.

Xu Laidong felt sad for him for a few seconds, then said happily, "My wife cooks really well."

Mr. Shen: "..." He thought this was showing off.

In the room, Shen Jiaojiao and Xu Mo huddled by the window and watched Mother Shen being pushed out of the house.

I even heard Mr. Shen's criticism of his daughter-in-law.

Shen Jiaojiao lowered the curtains and said with a smile, "It seems that my mother's cooking is extremely lethal! She even scared my grandfather."

Xu Mo was puzzled, "Is the food my mom cooks so bad?" Is there anything in the world that tastes worse than his cooking?

Shen Jiaojiao: "Then I'll ask mom to make braised pork for you some other day."

Xu Mo: "...then forget it!"

Shen Jiaojiao didn't continue teasing Xu Mo. She got off the kang and went to the kitchen.

The kitchen was filled with fumes.

The aroma of meat was everywhere.

Liu Xiaolan's cooking skills are impeccable. Even though Shen Jiaojiao has eaten many delicacies from land and sea in her life, she still thinks that her mother-in-law's cooking skills are the most distinctive and recognizable.

That's the smell of mom.

Shen Jiaojiao smelled the scent and came to Liu Xiaolan.

"Mom, do you need my help?"

Liu Xiaolan was frying meatballs at the time, so she stuffed one into Shen Jiaojiao's mouth.

"Just watch from the side. I'll be fine soon. I don't need your help."

Shen Jiaojiao chewed the meatballs in her mouth. Although there were not too many seasonings, the simple method made it very delicious.

She said quickly, "Mom, you really have the skills to open a restaurant. I'll help you open a restaurant!"

Liu Xiaolan glared at Shen Jiaojiao, "Silly girl, what nonsense are you talking about? Don't tell anyone about this, or someone will catch you.

Who dares to do business privately now? You probably want me to end my life with many children and grandchildren early."

Shen Jiaojiao smacked her lips, and became so happy and complacent that she lost herself in pride.

She almost forgot that it was 1976 and it was not yet time to do business.

"Haha, I just think my mother's cooking skills are so good, and I want more people to eat her cooking. It would be great if this skill can be passed down."

While busying herself with the pot, Liu Xiaolan replied, "I don't have such big ambitions. It's enough for me to take care of this big family in my lifetime."

Shen Jiaojiao held the opposite attitude from her.

She felt that her mother-in-law was capable and talented, and had good eloquence. If she had been born a few decades later, she would definitely have been a successful woman.

It's a pity that she has to be a housewife all her life.

Shen Jiaojiao affirmed Liu Xiaolan's words on the surface, but she had already made up her mind.

When the serious situation is over, if Liu Xiaolan agrees, she will take her to Beijing and open a restaurant for her.

"Jiaojiao! Ask your second brother to move the table outside. We will set up two tables today."

"Oh." Shen Jiaojiao went outside and helped to put the dishes and chopsticks away.

Today is a good day.

There is a new member in the family, and Xu Mo's health has recovered well.

It is a rare occasion for the two families to get together, so this meal must be lively and exciting.

There were a lot of dishes on the table, and most of the meat was brought back by Mr. Shen from hunting.

Braised rabbit meat, sweet and sour spare ribs, spicy boiled fish, pheasant stewed with mushrooms, and some wild vegetables.

Such a sumptuous meal is impossible to have even during Chinese New Year.

Even the richest village chief might not have the courage to cook all these delicious dishes.

The food and dishes were all put away, and everyone at home was called back.

One table for adults and one table for children.

The whole family gathered together, eating and chatting, the scene was happy and warm.

Mother Shen was completely impressed by Liu Xiaolan's cooking skills.

They didn't bother to talk and just focused on eating.

"Xiao Lan, your cooking is simply delicious, unlike me, who can't cook anything well."

Liu Xiaolan didn't know that Mother Shen was a killer in the kitchen, so she comforted her, "Cooking is not something that everyone is born with, you can do it naturally with more practice.

You are busy with work on weekdays, so you probably don’t have time to cook! "

Mother Shen's eyes lit up, as if something had suddenly dawned on her.

"Are you saying that my cooking is bad because I don't cook enough?"

"Yes! As long as you persist in doing anything, you will definitely gain something."

Mother Shen said happily, "Then I will go home and practice more."

“Ahem…”

“Ahem…”

A sudden cough interrupted their conversation.

Mr. Shen and Shen Zhenhua looked at Mother Shen with complicated eyes.

Then he looked at Liu Xiaolan with resentment.

Liu Xiaolan didn't quite understand why he was looking at her like that. What did she say wrong?

Xu Laidong whispered a few words to Liu Xiaolan.

Liu Xiaolan also looked at Mother Shen with complicated eyes, then buried her head in eating, deciding not to chat with her anymore.

Mother Shen: “…” Why do I feel so isolated?

Shen Jiaojiao felt that her mother was so pitiful, so she took a piece of spicy rabbit meat and passed it over.

When he returned to his bowl to eat the food, there were a few meatballs in it.

She tilted her head and looked at Xu Mo.

Xu Mo said, "I saw you took the meatballs twice, you should like them, so eat more."

That is to say, when Xu Mo saw Shen Jiaojiao stretch out her chopsticks towards a dish twice, he could tell that she liked to eat.

Shen Jiaojiao was eating the meatballs in the bowl, which tasted crunchy and delicious.

Mother Shen suddenly felt that the rabbit meat in her bowl no longer tasted good.
