Qin Nian didn't say anything, silently finishing the food in her bowl, even drinking the soup clean. Actually, she usually couldn't eat that much, but today, for some reason, because of her mother-in-law's favoritism, she even drank the soup broth clean.
"If Niannian likes it, Mom will make it for you again next time."
Yang Yufen couldn't help but worry that Qin Nian was overeating. She knew Qin Nian's appetite very well. She had only picked out so many dishes because she wanted Qin Nian to eat more, but she didn't mean to force Qin Nian to finish them.
"Mom's cooking is delicious. I'm taking the two kids out for a walk. They'll be taking their afternoon nap later."
"Okay, go ahead."
Yang Yufen put away the bowls and chopsticks.
"Mom, I can eat some more."
Shen Xianjun spoke up and handed the empty bowl to Yang Yufen.
"A pig reincarnated? One bowl isn't enough for you?"
"Mom, after I joined the army, the training was intense, so my appetite naturally increased."
Shen Xianjun explained it to himself.
"No wonder you've been eating up all those allowances all these years."
Yang Yufen finished speaking in a bad mood but still cooked some more for Shen Xianjun, but there were no eggs left, since there would be chicken for dinner.
"Godmother, there will be a lot of people having dinner tonight. My student raised a fish, and I brought back a big one. It will definitely taste amazing when stewed with your pickled cabbage."
Wang Shuo brought in a fish as big as his arm, weighing at least three and a half pounds.
"Okay, okay, I'll make some more pancakes and add more sauce. I remember you all love them."
Yang Yufen accepted the fish and vegetables that Wang Shuo brought with a smile.
"I'll kill the fish, no need to trouble godmother. Keep the fish giblets, okay?"
Wang Shuo pulled the hand holding the fish back.
"Yes, they taste better when stewed together."
Yang Yufen carried the vegetables to the kitchen and came out with a basin.
Shen Xianjun felt like he was just a background character, dispensable. Just now, his mother was looking at him with disdain even when she was cleaning the house, but now she was chatting happily with her godson. What was going on?
"Brother Wang."
"uncle!"
"uncle!"
When Qin Nian returned from her walk with her two children, she saw Wang Shuo cleaning fish in the yard and greeted him. The two children were so excited that they ran up to Wang Shuo and stuck close to him.
Wow! What a huge fish!
The child curiously poked it with his finger, showing no fear of the smell of blood.
Shen Xianjun felt even more heartbroken now.
Since he came back, his two children haven't even had a chance to talk to him, and his wife has only said one sentence to him. Now she's standing there smiling as she watches other men kill fish.
Once he recovers, he'll be able to kill not only fish, but also pigs!
Besides, what's so impressive about killing fish? The two kids looked at him with such admiration, their words getting sweeter and sweeter, completely forgetting that he was their biological father!
"It's a bit dirty. Da Bao and Er Bao, go take a nap. When you wake up, your sister Yao Yao will take you to play. You'll have something delicious to eat tonight."
Wang Shuo fetched some water and had the two children wash their hands.
"Yay!"
Da Bao cheered and pulled his younger brother to bed.
"Thank you for your hard work, Brother Wang."
"It's not hard work, sister-in-law, go take care of the children."
Wang Shuo continued squatting and cleaning the fish.
"I want to sleep too, but where can I sleep?"
Shen Xianjun saw Qin Nian pulling the child about to go into the house and quickly spoke up.
Qin Nian stood there awkwardly for a moment, but Da Bao was only thinking about eating something delicious after he woke up. Seeing that his mother was not leaving, he pulled his younger brother and went into the house to sleep.
"How about I go with the child?"
Shen Xianjun spoke with a slight doubt.
Qin Nian bit her lip slightly. The two children were not sleeping soundly, and Shen Xianjun was still injured.
