"You can't eat anything too spicy, too sweet, or too sour, but you can eat anything else," Tao Ying quickly said.
"Alright, go back upstairs to sleep. Come downstairs at 4:20, and we'll leave at 5:00." Sun Cuiping glanced at the time, 2:40, and whispered to Tao Ying.
"I'll help you pick the vegetables, so you won't be sleepy anymore," Tao Ying snuggled up to Sun Cuiping.
In fact, Tao Ying really enjoys spending time with the Jiang family because they treat her like a child.
“That works too, it’ll be faster this way.” Sun Cuiping handed Tao Ying a bunch of celery.
Tao Ying then witnessed Sun Cuiping's formidable abilities.
In Tao Ying's eyes, his knife skills were no less than those of a master chef.
Sun Cuiping prepared for Tao Ying a dish of braised beef brisket with tomatoes, stir-fried shrimp with celery, steamed sea bass, hand-pulled lamb chops, and a bowl of rice.
Tao Ying's stomach immediately growled; she had just eaten millet porridge for dinner.
"Second sister-in-law, you must be a chef by training, right?" Tao Ying asked, holding chopsticks and looking at Sun Cuiping in surprise.
"It's all because your second brother is picky. He doesn't like this or that. I had to learn from someone else to eat it. I used to put all my energy into him." Sun Cuiping ladled a bowl of tomato stewed beef brisket for Tao Ying.
"If you come over today, what will happen to my second brother? He hasn't eaten either, has he?" Tao Ying didn't expect Sun Cuiping to do this for Jiang Shuo.
"It's okay, I'll let him make do. I've come to terms with it, and I'm not going to revolve around him anymore," Sun Cuiping said nonchalantly.
"Second sister-in-law, I support you. Do you want to stay overnight?" Tao Ying asked with a smile.
Suddenly I realized that my second sister-in-law's unpopularity at home might have a lot to do with Jiang Shuo.
It's not that Jiang Shuo doesn't love Sun Cuiping, but rather that he can't manage the relationship between Sun Cuiping and her family.
In fact, neither Madam Jiang nor Sun Cuiping were harsh people.
"Is it okay?" Sun Cuiping has been married for so many years and has never stayed overnight outside before.
"Of course, I also want to eat my second sister-in-law's cooking this morning." Tao Ying looked at Sun Cuiping longingly.
“Okay, then I’ll stay here tonight too. After we finish dancing, come with me home to get a couple of outfits.” Sun Cuiping said with a mix of excitement and unease.
"No need, we have new ones at home, I'll get them for you," Tao Ying said with a smile.
"I'll call Jiang Shuo after we finish eating," Sun Cuiping said excitedly.
For a chef, the greatest respect is finishing their plate.
Tao Ying ate half a fish, four lamb chops, and half a pot of tomato stewed beef brisket all by herself.
Because Sun Cuiping was busy cooking, Tao Ying simply didn't eat.
I barely ate any of the celery and shrimp stir-fry.
"Second sister-in-law, I can't take it anymore, I'm too full." Tao Ying slumped in the chair, clutching her stomach with both hands.
It was so satisfying; every bite was pure bliss.
"I'll cook you as many meals as you want, just don't overeat." Sun Cuiping liked Tao Ying even more.
“That’s different. The next meal is the next meal,” Tao Ying said softly.
"I'll make you pan-fried buns tomorrow morning." Sun Cuiping was spurred on by Tao Ying's actions and was now full of motivation.
It's been many years since I've been needed this much.
"Second sister-in-law, don't move, I'll do it." Tao Ying saw Sun Cuiping about to clear the table again, so she quickly struggled to stand up.
"It's alright, there's not much work to do." Sun Cuiping really didn't care; she was used to doing this kind of work all the time.
"That won't do either. If you cook, I have to clean up. Otherwise, I'll feel bad." Tao Ying quickly started picking up the dishes.
“That’s fine, I’ll cut you a fruit platter, you can eat it when you get back, by then you’ll have almost digested it.” Sun Cuiping didn’t argue with Tao Ying.
Tao Ying happily tidied the table, and by the time she finished washing the dishes, the flowers on Sun Cuiping's fruit plate were already carved.
"This is too good to be true... Second sister-in-law, how are you so amazing? Second brother must have accumulated so much good fortune to marry you." Tao Ying was genuinely envious.
This is so wonderful!
"It's not as good as you say." Sun Cuiping's eyes were a little moist.
Over the years, everyone has said that being able to marry Jiang Shuo is a blessing accumulated over eight lifetimes.
No one has ever said that Jiang Shuo marrying her was a blessing he had accumulated over a long period of time.
"That's good enough. I'm not as good as you. If I were a man, I would definitely try to steal my second brother's wife. Such a good wife, beautiful, good at singing and dancing, and a great cook. I could laugh in my dreams." Tao Ying praised without reservation.
"Alright, let's go." Even Sun Cuiping of the Rao family couldn't stand it anymore.
"Then I'll go change my clothes." Tao Ying hurriedly went upstairs to change.
Because she was going to see a song and dance performance, Tao Ying specially wore a bright and figure-hugging dress, paired with small leather shoes and exquisite makeup, which made her look radiant.
"Second sister-in-law, how about it? Am I qualified to watch you dance?" Tao Ying twirled around in front of Sun Cuiping.
"Enough, enough, that's more than enough, it's so beautiful!" Sun Cuiping couldn't take her eyes off it.
Tao Ying took Sun Cuiping's hand and went out, letting Sun Cuiping give directions, and went directly to Sun Cuiping's company.
We arrived at a song and dance troupe. The place was alright, with a stage and some musical instruments.
Sun Cuiping hired two more retired veterans to look after the song and dance troupe.
Both of them were Jiang Shuo's men, and they were very diligent, keeping the yard spotless.
When the two arrived, there were already four people there, two of whom were women around the same age as Sun Cuiping.
There were also five young girls rehearsing their dance over there.
"Cuiping, what's this?" someone asked Tao Ying as they approached.
