Zhang Wenwen said disapprovingly: "Mom, you two have been getting a divorce for a long time. My ears are almost callused. Mom, get up quickly. I brought you a lot of delicious food. Let's go into the house." As she spoke, she reached out to help her mother up with a relaxed smile on her face, as if she was no longer surprised by her parents' divorce.
…
At this moment, the family compound became unusually quiet.
Wang Xiaolan was still standing quietly in her yard, staring motionlessly outside the gate of the compound, as if she was frozen in place, with a thousand thoughts in her mind, unable to calm down.
Yu Wenlin, who was standing by, took in Wang Xiaolan's expression and couldn't help but sigh. She knew that Zhao Lihan's return would likely mean he would be sent to the front lines, and she couldn't help but worry about her son-in-law.
She took Wang Xiaolan's hand and patted the back of her hand gently, trying to give her some comfort.
"Nannan, don't worry too much. Your son-in-law is a lucky man. He will be fine. Believe me, everything will be fine. Let's go into the house. The children are waiting for us to have dinner together." Yu Wenlin's voice was full of concern and comfort, hoping to help Wang Xiaolan get out of her worries.
Wang Xiaolan looked at her elderly mother, her face covered with wrinkles and her eyes revealing deep worry and concern. She couldn't help but feel guilty, thinking she had caused her mother too much worry.
"Mom, I know. Don't worry!" Wang Xiaolan said softly, with a hint of apology in her voice.
Wang Xiaolan held her mother's hand tightly, feeling the warmth in her hand, and tried hard to force a smile.
Yu Wenlin looked at his daughter with a hint of relief in his eyes, but he couldn't help but remind her, "Xiaolan, you must take care of yourself and don't get too tired. If you have any difficulties, tell your family and we will work together to find a solution."
"Mom, I will."
At this time, a gust of wind blew over. Although it was the wind of early autumn, it was still a little chilly. Wang Xiaolan immediately supported Yu Wenlin and said, "Mom, it's windy outside, let's go inside!"
"Yes! Okay."
As soon as they entered the house, Dabao and Xiaobao kept calling for their mother and grandmother.
Dabao slid down from the chair in front of the dining table and ran over with his short legs, holding Yu Wenlin in one hand and Wang Xiaolan in the other. He happily came to the chair in front of the dining table.
"Grandma, sit here." Then he pointed to another chair and said, "Mom, sit here."
After he finished the arrangements, he returned to his seat.
At this time, the nanny had already brought all the food to the table.
Everyone was sitting around a big round table eating.
Because of Zhao Lihan's return to the team and the turmoil that just happened in the compound, everyone was still feeling a little uncomfortable. In order to ease the tense and awkward atmosphere at home, Zeng Cheng tried his best to praise Wang Xiaolan's superb cooking skills, trying to make everyone feel more relaxed.
He said enthusiastically, "Little sister, this dish is so delicious!" and gave a thumbs up to show his appreciation.
Then he tasted other dishes and praised them highly: "Wow, every dish is so delicious. You are worthy of being our family chef!"
Zeng Cheng ate with relish and praised the dish endlessly: "Little sister, this dish is so delicious! This is the most delicious dish I have ever eaten. It is even better than the one in the state-owned restaurant." The corners of his mouth were stained with oil, and he made a satisfied smacking sound from time to time while speaking.
He was like a magician, telling jokes, praising Wang Xiaolan for her cooking, and trying his best to adjust the atmosphere at home, but Wang Xiaolan still couldn't be happy.
She looked at Zeng Cheng's efforts, her heart filled with gratitude and guilt. So, she also tried to cooperate with Zeng Cheng, forcing a smile.
"Brother, you're too kind."
"Little sister, everything I say is the truth."
After that, Zeng Cheng picked up a piece of braised pork and put it into Yu Wenlin's bowl, saying, "Mom, my little sister's cooking is really amazing. This braised pork is so delicious! It's really colorful, fragrant and delicious! Try it."
Yu Wenlin picked up the braised pork given by Zeng Cheng and put it in his mouth, chewing it carefully. The meat was tender and juicy, with a rich but not greasy flavor, which made people linger on the taste.
As she ate, she nodded constantly, a satisfied smile on her face, and praised it endlessly, "It's really good, so delicious! This dish is so delicious, it's almost comparable to the quality of a state-owned restaurant."
When Zeng Cheng heard his mother's praise, he looked up at Wang Xiaolan and smiled, his eyes full of tenderness.
He then picked up another piece of meat and carefully placed it in Zeng Qiang's bowl, saying softly, "Dad, you should try it too. My little sister's cooking skills are at the level of a master chef!"
Zeng Qiang smiled with satisfaction after hearing Zeng Cheng's words. He picked up his chopsticks and placed the piece of braised pork in his mouth, savoring it carefully. The delicious texture of the meat and the perfect seasoning made him nod his head repeatedly in approval.
As he savored the food, he agreed, "Mmm, this tastes really good! I didn't expect that my daughter is not only an excellent doctor, but also a skilled cook. She's simply a master!"
Wang Xiaolan forced a smile upon hearing the praise from her parents and brother. She fed Xiaobao and said, "Thank you for the compliments. Actually, I just like cooking. I'll make some delicious dishes for you whenever I have time."
Yu Wenlin smiled and said, "I was originally thinking of making my best pickled cabbage fish head soup, but compared to Nannan's, I'm embarrassed to show it off."
