This was the first time his father mentioned his work to him so seriously. Zhou Jingchuan was slightly moved, but he still patiently continued the conversation.
Zhou Jingye sighed, "I'll go over and take a look later. Is that convenient?"
Zhou Jingchuan nodded, "Go ahead, it's not inconvenient."
At this time, Li Ruhui had already gone to the kitchen, where Zheng Wangshu was cutting vegetables. She worked very efficiently. Although she prepared several dishes at the same time, the pots and pans were all arranged in order.
Li Ruhui knew at first sight that she was a clean person.
"Do you need help?"
Li Ruhui thought about it and said that it was normal for her, as the mother-in-law, to entertain the new daughter-in-law when she came to visit for the first time.
Although she didn't like Zheng Wangshu, she couldn't be too rude.
"No, I can do it myself and let you taste my cooking skills."
Zheng Wangshu was so well-behaved and sensible that Li Ruhui felt a little embarrassed and felt like a wicked mother-in-law who bullied her daughter-in-law.
"Let me help you cut the vegetables, you stir-fry first."
Seeing that Li Ruhui didn't seem to be pretending, Zheng Wangshu thought about it and agreed.
I thought that chatting for a while while cooking could also bring us closer.
The rice is already cooked, and we can start eating after the vegetables are fried.
Zheng Wangshu was cooking there, and Li Ruhui was chopping vegetables nearby. She glanced over subconsciously and was surprised to see that the dishes Zheng Wangshu cooked were all her and Zhou Jingye's favorites.
Zheng Wangshu had indeed done some research in advance and asked Zhou Jingchuan about the taste of his family.
Although they are just details, women are emotional animals. Li Ruhui couldn't help but be moved by Zheng Wangshu's concern.
After cooking, the family planned to eat in the yard. It was cool at night, so they just needed to light a mosquito coil nearby. There would be no mosquitoes and they could enjoy the breeze.
Zhou Jingchuan talked a lot with his father today, and his depressed mood was relieved a lot. He was not stupid, and he clearly felt that his father's attitude had softened and seemed to start to value his current job.
As a child, who doesn't want to be recognized by their parents? Zhou Jingchuan is no exception.
When I went out to the yard, I saw that the table was full of food. There were at least eight dishes, including meat, vegetables, and soup.
Zhou Jingchuan knew that Zheng Wangshu was a good cook, and now seeing this table, his impression of her has been further enhanced.
Zhou Jingye was also surprised to see the delicious food. Although they had heard that Zheng Wangshu was a good housewife, this was the first time they had eaten the food cooked by her.
"Wangshu's cooking skills are so good? I'm in for a treat today."
Zhou Jingye was very supportive, and the two little kids next to him were secretly swallowing their saliva.
They knew how delicious Aunt Zheng’s cooking was. Even before they had eaten it, they could already imagine how good it would taste.
After everyone sat down, Zhou Jingye took out a bottle of wine.
"Today, let's drink a little and have fun."
Li Ruhui glanced at her husband but did not stop him. It was a rare occasion for her son to come home, and she didn't want to spoil his fun.
Only after everyone started eating did Li Ruhui and the others realize how delicious the food was. It was even more delicious than what state-owned chefs prepared.
"This table full of dishes is what your mother and I like. Wangshu is really thoughtful."
Zheng Wangshu finally spoke up at this time: "Before coming here, I specifically asked Jingchuan about your taste. Is it to your liking?"
Li Ruhui thought that this was indeed the case, she had done her homework in advance.
Zhou Jingye was obviously a little surprised. When his son got married to this girl, they had no plans to go, and Zheng Wangshu probably knew about it.
I didn't expect that they didn't take it seriously at all, and now they are still so dedicated to them. It's really shameful.
This elder is not as good as a younger one.
"It suits your taste very well. You are thoughtful, child."
Zhou Jingye really felt a little embarrassed, but as a father-in-law, he couldn't say anything.
The father and son took turns drinking, chatting and drinking, and before they knew it, they were drunk.
Li Ruhui wanted to curse several times, but when she thought about how her husband rarely drank, she just let him do what he wanted.
After drinking a little too much, both of them drank a little too much. Zhou Jingchuan didn't show any signs of drunkenness, but when he went to the bathroom, he walked a little unsteadily.
Not to mention Zhou Jingye, his eyes started to blur.
After eating, the two children played for a while and then fell asleep in the house.
Seeing the father and son drunk like this, Li Ruhui had no choice but to let them go back to the house to drink tea to sober up.
Li Ruhui had just made tea for them when she saw Zheng Wangshu washing dishes with her hair tied up.
Li Ruhui suddenly felt soft-hearted. To be honest, apart from the fact that Zheng Wangshu had been married once, there was really nothing wrong with him.
But she got married because she chose the wrong person. It was not her fault. They were all relatives, and she knew how much Gao Huilan and others bullied her daughter-in-law.
Now that I am in this state, what’s the difference between me and Gao Huilan?
With her mind wandering, she turned around and went back to her room, opened the dressing table, and picked for a long time before finally choosing a pair of earrings.
These earrings are made of jadeite. They were given as a dowry by my mother when I got married. At that time, jadeite was not considered a valuable item and no one was aware of it.
But Li Ruhui knew that this pair of earrings was very valuable.
Seeing how dedicated Zheng Wangshu is, I, as his mother-in-law, should show some appreciation.
After washing the dishes, Zhang Wangshu washed his hands carefully. As soon as he walked out of the kitchen, he saw Li Ruhui standing there and was startled.
"Mom, why don't you go and rest?"
Li Ruhui felt warm in her heart and subconsciously cleared her throat.
"This is for you."
Zheng Wangshu looked down and found a pair of emerald green earrings in Li Ruhui's hand. Judging from the texture, they should be jadeite, and the quality was obviously not cheap.
It is even better than the bracelet her mother left her.
"For me?"
Zheng Wangshu was surprised. She knew that her mother-in-law didn't like her, but now she could give her such an expensive gift. For a moment, she couldn't figure out Li Ruhui's routine.
"Well, from now on you will be the daughter-in-law of our Zhou family. Jingchuan's sister-in-law has a meeting gift, and you have one too. This is yours."
Zheng Wangshu originally wanted to trick her parents-in-law into helping her with some work in the future. It was just cooking a meal and washing dishes, but the mother-in-law softened her heart. She didn't expect such a good strategy.
Seeing Zheng Wangshu standing there in a daze without saying anything, Li Ruhui couldn't help but frown.
"Don't want it? Are you complaining that the thing isn't good enough?"
Zheng Wangshu finally reacted and quickly took it from Li Ruhui.
"How could that be? I was so happy that I didn't react for a moment. Mom, I really like these earrings. Thank you."
Li Ruhui was very pleased to hear this. Her eldest son's daughter-in-law was completely different from Zheng Wangshu.
When I gave the gift to her, she didn't even blink. Zheng Wangshu was quite sweet-mouthed and spoke in a pleasant way.
