"Mom, we're back."
Qin Nian's voice rang out, and Shen Xianjun sat up straight and looked towards the door. The mother and her two children walked in hand in hand.
"dad!"
Clearly, Da Bao has a good memory; he recognized him immediately.
"Hey, good son."
Men, especially at his age, still cherish the simple pleasures of a wife, children, and a warm bed.
"Erbao, call me Daddy."
Qin Nian bent down beside Erbao and spoke softly.
"dad."
Erbao obediently called out to people, but his eyes were fixed on Shen Xianjun's face. The beard was gone; it looked different.
"You're back, perfect timing. We'll make noodles and eat right away. Everyone, please wash your hands first."
Yang Yufen's voice came from the kitchen.
"good."
Qin Nian responded, and as soon as Da Bao heard his grandma calling for dinner, he nimbly turned away from Shen Xianjun, taking Er Bao with him as well, and the two went to wash their hands.
"Grandma, Grandma! What's for dinner today? It smells so good!"
Erbao also looked at Yang Yufen with bright eyes.
"Eat your noodles. Grandma has poached an egg for each of you. Go sit down, it'll be ready soon."
Yang Yufang smiled and said to the children, and Da Bao pulled Er Bao and ran back to the main room in a flash.
Qin Nian had already set up the small table for them.
"Why is there one table per person?"
Shen Xianjun frowned.
Qin Nian frowned upon hearing this.
"It's a habit of both Da Bao and Er Bao since they were little, and it's convenient for the two children to eat this way."
Qin Nian spoke in a low voice.
"Oh, you can't spoil kids too much, they'll develop many problems, especially in the military..."
"Shut your mouth. People who don't take care of children have no right to speak. Eat."
Yang Yufen held a bowl of vinegar in one hand and a bowl of noodles in the other, pouring the vinegar into the noodles with a splash, her eyes glaring at Shen Xianjun.
If she had come out even a second later, who knows what other nonsense this brainless idiot would have uttered.
"Mother, that's enough, that's enough."
When Shen Xianjun saw his mother pouring vinegar, he immediately forgot everything else and called out to his mother again, as was his habit.
Seeing this, Qin Nian suppressed a smile and went to the kitchen to get noodles.
It had been a long time since he had eaten vinegar. The smell of it made Shen Xianjun feel appetizing. Sure enough, it was good to be discharged from the hospital. Although his mother had a bad temper, her cooking was really to his liking.
If only he could avoid embarrassing his wife, but his mother probably wouldn't change. Oh well, he's used to it anyway, he'll just have to put up with his wife's discomfort.
"Niannian, Mom stir-fried chicken giblets with pickled cabbage. This goes well with rice, you can eat it with it."
Yang Yufen brought out a dish of food and placed it in front of Qin Nian.
"Thank you, Mom. You should eat too."
Qin Nian quickly gestured for Yang Yufen to sit down.
"Mom, I want to eat it too."
Upon smelling the aroma of the food, Shen Xianjun immediately spoke up.
"The doctor said you can't eat it."
Yang Yufen dismissed her with a single sentence, even picking up the plate and shoveling most of the food into Qin Nian's bowl.
Shen Xianjun watched helplessly as the bowl of food became empty, but since his wife had eaten it, he couldn't take it from his wife's and mother's bowls.
"Niannian, if you can't finish your food, I'll eat it for you. Wasting food is shameful."
Shen Xianjun struggled desperately. He remembered that Qin Nian didn't eat much. That big bowl of noodles had an egg on it—no, two eggs! He, a wounded soldier, only got one egg in his bowl, treated like a child!
He can understand his mother's doting on her grandson; isn't it said that mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law are natural enemies? Why does he feel differently?
