"Yeah, even if you hadn't said that, I was planning to do it anyway. I never imagined that the barbecue restaurant would be bigger than the breakfast shop." Qiao Dashan felt even more admiration for his sister and brother-in-law.
They've only been here a short time, yet they've already made such a big deal so quickly.
Tao Chunfang fed her daughter an apple while listening to their conversation. She felt a renewed sense of purpose in life. She had been worried about what would happen if things didn't work out. The journey was so far, and with her pregnant belly, going back would be too inconvenient. But now, everything was going smoothly.
Su Chenqiu finished his homework on the table. Before leaving school, the teacher had assigned all the homework and expressed her reluctance to see him go. She said that if he didn't transfer schools, he would definitely be able to skip to fifth grade next year.
He wanted to stay with his brother and refused the teacher's final attempt to persuade him to stay.
Su Chenhao set the chicken soup aside to cool, and then prepared to stir-fry the vegetables.
At this moment, Li Meihua stepped forward and snatched the apron and spatula away: "You go back inside and keep Xiaoni company. I'll do the cooking."
Su Chenhao nodded: "Then I'll trouble Mom. I'll go back to my room and talk to her for a bit, and her stomach won't hurt so much anymore."
Li Meihua smiled, picked up the spatula, and prepared to start stir-frying. The vegetables and meat were already chopped and placed on a plate; all she had to do was turn on the heat and stir-fry.
I have to say, my son-in-law is incredibly capable. The way he cut the meat and vegetables is absolutely professional, even better than what I, who have been cooking for decades, could do.
Su Chenhao went to the living room and first checked his younger brother's homework; his handwriting was better than before. Then he went back to the room and saw Qiao Xiaoni curled up under the covers, her face paler than before. He sat down on the bed and reached in to touch her stomach.
"Let me rub it for you."
"Hmm." Qiao Xiaoni didn't really want to talk at the moment. Her stomach was hurting, and those who haven't experienced it simply can't understand.
Su Chenhao kept a close eye on her facial expressions, stopping whenever her brows furrowed slightly, then resuming his massage after a short while. He repeated this until she fell asleep, then tucked her in and quietly left the room, returning to the living room.
Li Meihua placed the scrambled eggs with wood ear mushrooms on the table. Seeing her son-in-law's cautious manner, she closed the door. After putting the food on the table, she came to his side and asked...
"How are you? Is Xiaoni still feeling so unwell?"
"She's already asleep. I want her to sleep for a while. Dinner is ready, so everyone should eat first. There's chicken soup simmering in the casserole; I'll feed her some later."
"Okay, I'll make some cucumber salad and then we'll eat. After dinner, I'll tell everyone to go home, and you two should get some rest." After giving these instructions, Li Meihua turned and went back to the kitchen to continue her work.
With such a thoughtful son-in-law taking care of her daughter, she felt at ease.
Because Qiao Xiaoni was asleep, everyone quickly finished their meal and left.
Su Chenhao took charge of the final cleanup and quickly tidied up the table. By then, the clock had struck eight.
I went to the store during the day and found it hadn't closed for so long. Gu Anyi recorded all the daily income in the ledger.
I took a look, and although the earnings weren't much, they weren't small either. The sauce workshop will open in another month, and the whole family will be busy then, so naturally, we'll earn more money.
After quietly considering it, I decided that once I had the money, I would buy a small courtyard house in the city center for everyone to live in.
After the 100-day mark, their wedding can be scheduled. It should be right after the New Year by then, and everything is going very well. He feels very satisfied.
