As soon as Qian Qing came back, some people came to see the Qian family's new son-in-law. On the day of the wedding, Zhou Hao arrived early, so many people didn't see him.

Looking towards the main room of the Qian family, I saw a young man sitting there feeding Qianqian candy.

The man was wearing a white shirt and navy blue pants that matched his tall stature, not to mention his outstanding face.

Someone immediately praised Qian's mother: "Mrs. Qian has good taste! It's not easy to find such a talented guy!"

"That's right, Qingqing is lucky to have found a good home."

"Qingqing is not bad either. The couple is a perfect match."

Zhou Hao loved to hear people praise him and his wife for being a perfect match, and now he didn't seem to be aloof at all.

He took some candies and distributed them to his sisters-in-law and aunts in each family. Like every new son-in-law, he was overjoyed but a little reserved.

Qian's mother has become much more relaxed recently and is no longer as nervous as before when receiving compliments.

Her daughter is so good! Her son-in-law is so outstanding!

Qian Yu poked Qian Qing and said teasingly, "Oh, my mother looks at her brother-in-law like her own son."

Qian Qing was a little jealous because her mother had never praised her for working so hard!

Is it true that the more the mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law, the more she likes him?

Mother Qian was now rich and happy, with her granddaughter and two daughters by her side, and her son-in-law being an excellent person. It was the happiest day of her life, so she worked extra hard to prepare lunch.

She cooked half of the pork that Zhou Hao brought and used the rest to stir-fry several dishes.

Because life is easy, I don't feel bad about fueling my life.

The crispy pork was fried until crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. A bowl of it was scooped out and handed to the eager granddaughter. The remaining crispy pork was paired with tomatoes to make crispy pork in sour soup. The color was so bright that it made people's eyes greedy, and the smell of the sour soup made people's mouths salivate involuntarily.

I added some garlic sprouts that my eldest daughter brought to stir-fry the pork belly. The meat was crispy and fragrant, and the aroma filled the whole building.

Chop the remaining eggplant into minced meat, deep-fry the long eggplant strips, then turn the eggplant backside down and pour in the minced meat and seasoning. Fry slowly over low heat, it's okay if the back of the eggplant sticks a little, it will taste richer.

…

Qian's mother was busy in the kitchen, and she sent her two daughters and her son-in-law out. She was in a good mood today, so she wanted to cook by herself. After cooking one dish after another, Qian's mother asked Qianqian to borrow plates and dishes from a few people she was familiar with recently.

The Qian family's house has two bedrooms and a living room. It is not very large, so the kitchen is naturally located on the balcony.

Once the dishes are cooked, the aroma is not easy to dissipate. It wafts through the living room, drifts into the corridor, and then spreads to every household.

The first to be hit by the aroma were the Wan family who lived next door.

Wan's mother angrily closed the balcony window and muttered a few dirty words.

Eat, eat, eat! These two old fools haven’t finished eating yet!

It's just a visit to your parents' home, why are you making such a big fuss? I would have thought you had a son-in-law who was getting married into your family!

The moods of Wan's mother and Qian's mother have changed in the past few days. The happier Qian's mother is, the unhappier Wan's mother is.

It turns out that the two neighbors are two big fools. They will not refuse anyone who comes to visit. Wan's mother enjoys it while spitting it out. The two families live close to each other, and their relationship was really good in the early years. After all, Qian's mother and Wan's mother both have two daughters, and the gossiping women in the same building have all talked about them.

In this situation, the two of them felt like they were in the same boat.

Qian's mother also kept thinking about this, and she felt that the Wan family had a hard time, so she offered to lend a hand if she could.

But in Wan's mother's eyes, she doesn't think so.

She gave birth to a son for the Wan family! How could the Qian family, who gave birth to two daughters, have any right to pity her? She didn't even leave a root for the Qian family, so she was a loser!

If it weren't for the fact that she cooked delicious food and their Bao Jin always insisted on going there, she would have cut off ties with that family long ago!

When Wan's mother smelled the fragrance, she was so worried that she didn't know what to do.

Bao Jin is still playing outside now. What should we do when he comes back soon?

Without Qianmu's feeding, Baojin would make a scene every time he ate.

It’s only been a few days and her precious little face has become thinner!

As expected, the door of the Wan family's room opened and Wan Baojin rushed in like a small cannonball, shouting at the top of his voice.

"Mom! I want to eat meat!"

"I want to eat the big fool's meat!"

Wanbaojin is fat. Boys of eleven or twelve are usually half-grown children, but Wanbaojin seems to be developing horizontally. He is shorter than his peers, but his weight is equivalent to that of two of them.

Wan's mother was almost unable to stand because of his pulling, but she still said with concern: "My dear, don't jump anymore. You can do it later."

She wanted Wan Baojin to go, but Qian's mother was unwilling to do so. If the child didn't leave, she couldn't do anything about it, right?

This is what Wanbaojin did a few days ago.

When it was time for dinner, he went straight to sit at the Qian family's dining table and refused to leave no matter what Qian's mother said.

Who knew that Qian's mother would take the meal downstairs and eat it, and then come back with an empty bowl, making Wan Baojin so angry that he rolled on the ground.

"I saw Qianqian eating candy! Mom, I want some candy too!"

This is what Wan's mother doesn't understand. You said Qian Yu gave birth to a girl, but she was not a boy. Qian's mother still treats her like a treasure.

Since she brought her granddaughter home three days ago, Qian's mother has been buying meat every day. When she doesn't have a ticket, she exchanges it with others. When she can't buy meat, she buys offal. She finds all kinds of ways to pour money into the mouths of money-losing people.

When it was time for dinner, the delicious aroma from next door would waft in the air, but her son couldn't get a single bite.

Qian's mother was cheated once, so she simply closed the door as soon as she started cooking, and even when she heard Wan Baojin yelling, she didn't open it.

Thinking of this, Wan Mu's eyes rolled.

Her son-in-law is coming home today, and she doesn't believe that Qian's mother can still cook with the door closed.

I can tell from the smell that a lot of meat must have been cooked next door today.

Or...let Bao Jin go?

Although it had only been less than a week since she broke up with Qian's mother, Wan's mother already felt that she had been at a disadvantage.

In the past, she could always bring something back from Qian's mother, mostly vegetables. Qian's mother's eldest daughter grew vegetables, and would send Qian's mother some fresh vegetables every few days.

Sweet potato leaves, pumpkin, loofah, cucumber, Chinese cabbage...

Although the food on the city's tables has become much richer and the prices of food are not expensive since the reform and opening up, why would you pay for food when you can have it for free?

Wan's mother regretted that she had spoken out her true feelings that day. Even if she had deceived Qian's mother, what did it matter? The most important thing was that her family got real benefits.

And her little daughter, I heard from Wan Zhenzhen that Qian Qing was a self-employed person in the oil field and made a lot of money. So today's return gift will definitely not be cheap.

Wan's mother had her own plan, so she asked her son to go. If it went well, she could ease the tension with the Qian family, and if it went badly, she could at least get some meat to eat, so it was a win-win situation.

"Okay, go ahead."

Wan Baojin didn't go to her to ask for her opinion, but because he went there alone a few days ago and couldn't knock on the door.

At this moment his mother spoke, and Wanbao Jin was happy but also a little doubtful.

"Then you go knock on the door for me?"

Wan's mother touched his hair lovingly and said, "Go ahead. Her door will definitely be open today."

Wan Baojin shouted happily and ran out. His mother shouted behind him to tell him what to do. Wan Baojin said loudly without even turning his head, "No need to tell me, I know. I won't tell the fool's family that you asked me to go!"

Mother Wan looked at her son with tenderness in her eyes.

"This little devil!"

After sending her son away, Wan's mother went back into the inner room.

The curtains in the inner room were drawn, and Wan Zhenzhen was lying on the bed, sleeping soundly.

When Wan's mother saw her daughter, she became impatient and pulled open the curtains forcefully. The sunlight from outside shone in and woke Wan Zhenzhen up.

"Mom, is it time for lunch?"

Wan's mother was furious: "Eat, eat, eat! All you know is eating!"

Wan Zhenzhen has been scolded for a long time, but she doesn't take it seriously.

Wan's mother originally wanted to squeeze her twice out of habit, but she saw that her stomach had relaxed again.

"When are you going to tell Wang Hua that you are pregnant?"
