Meng Zhehan was very happy, and when he saw the letter asking him to share some with Zhang Guoqing, he couldn't help but complain: You said you can't give it to others, but you want to share it with Zhang Guoqing. So you can get special treatment just because you are from the same hometown? Although he complained, he still did it. In fact, even if Meng Tao didn't say it, Meng Zhehan would have asked Zhang Guoqing to come over to eat together. This student's performance was quite satisfactory to him.

Shen Yu received the wooden box and the package, went home and opened them, first found the letter that Meng Taohua had attached to the package and read it, then immediately took an orange, peeled it and tasted it.

He didn't like sweets or fruits, but Meng Zhehan always kept telling him that the oranges given by Taohua were extremely delicious. Even his father Shen Heping could not forget the orange he had eaten. Shen Yu thought they were exaggerating, but he remembered the fruity aroma and admitted that it was really very good and made people feel comfortable and happy.

After breaking off a slice of orange and putting it in his mouth, Shen Yu paused, his eyes slightly narrowed, the deliciousness that blossomed on his tongue was something he had never tasted before, he quickly finished the orange in his hand, then took out one each of the navel orange, pear, and peach, and ate them all in a few minutes! Then he picked up Meng Taohua's letter again, and wrote almost a full page, with neat and regular strokes, fluent and smooth words, patiently and meticulously teaching how to make dried fish and shrimp, dried vegetables, and mushrooms and fungus, and finally reminded: The ingredients are carefully selected and very rare, it is better to keep them for your own consumption, and don't give them away, it would be a pity.

Shen Yu read it carefully several times, a smile appeared on the corner of his lips, and a little furry cat flashed in his mind, talking in a serious manner, blaming him for paying the bill first in the restaurant, and glaring at him with its head tilted, which made him feel inexplicably depressed.

He grew up in his maternal grandparents' home and had four cousins ​​with different personalities. Because of them, he rejected women since he was a child and never had any contact with them, let alone took the initiative to care for them. However, Meng Taohua was an exception. He was willing to take care of her. At first, he thought it was because of Meng Zhehan, and he should take care of his childhood sweetheart's godsister, but later he wanted her address himself, as he was sure that he would see her again in the future.

The little girl kept her promise and really sent him local specialties. The note she wrote to him had much more words than the letter she sent to Meng Zhehan.

He was very satisfied with this.

Now, he didn't think that the expressions of Meng Zhehan and his father when eating an orange were too exaggerated. Seeing is believing. What's more, he actually put it into his mouth. Fruits of such incredibly good quality are really rare.

Shen Yu could ignore the indescribable sweet fragrance of these fruits, but he sensed a special, unusual smell and taste in them, which fascinated him! When Shen Heping came home from work, he smelled the tempting fruity aroma outside the house. It was the scent of oranges that he had eaten and always missed. He hurried in and saw his son guarding a box of fruit. He asked where it came from?

Shen Yu didn't answer, but handed his father an orange. Knowing that he was thinking about it even in his dreams, Shen Heping peeled it and ate it, squinting his eyes in pleasure:

"That's the smell! I miss it so much!"

After eating the fruit, she noticed that the coffee table was filled with dried fish, shrimp, dried bamboo shoots, mushrooms, black fungus, etc. She asked Shen Yu in surprise where he bought so many things from. She picked up each one and smelled it, praising its refreshing and fresh aroma, saying that it was top-quality dried goods.

Shen Yu folded Meng Taohua's cover letter and put it in his jacket pocket. He took out a large piece of dried fish and some dried mushrooms and bamboo shoots, and said to Shen Heping, "Let's have fish tonight. I'll cook it."

Shen Heping stopped him: "Don't let such a good thing get burned. Put it aside and wait for me to call Master Jiang to come."

Shen Yu: "It's just a simple steaming, it's not that difficult, just wait and eat."

As he said that, he stood up and walked towards the kitchen. Taohua's letter was written so carefully and clearly, how could he not be able to do it?

Shen Heping hurried over and said, "This needs to be soaked first before it can be made."

"I know."

"What do you know? I'll teach you!"

Jiang Yushan looked towards the kitchen and said to the woman behind her with a smile, "Old Shen and Xiao Yu are both at home. I don't know what they are doing. I guess they are discussing how to cook. Look how pitiful they are. Without a woman to take care of things, this house doesn't feel like a home anymore."

The woman had an oval face, almond-shaped eyes, diamond-shaped lips and a pointed chin. She was quite pretty. She wore a dark blue Lenin suit with the white shirt collar turned up at the neckline, which made her skin look even fairer. She looked like someone who knew how to dress well. Her short hair was combed neatly and smoothly without a strand out of place. She looked smart and capable.

She also looked towards the kitchen, eager to try: "Sister-in-law, since I'm here, shall I go in and help them cook?"

Jiang Yushan: "Don't worry, let me talk to Director Shen first. Now that Xiaoyu is back to live here, the family definitely needs someone to take care of it. Director Shen and your cousin have been friends for many years, and we can't bear to see them in such a difficult situation. Liqin, this family will depend on you from now on."

Yuan Liqin smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, you and my brother can rest assured. I will make sure that they will be well taken care of."

After saying that, he immediately invited Jiang Yushan to sit on the sofa in a familiar manner, as if she was already a member of this family.

Xian Fangfang had a keen nose and could smell the sweet scent in the air, including the aroma of oranges that made her salivate. She walked to the coffee table to check it out, reached out to rummage through the various things on it, and said happily:

"Aunt, cousin, come and look, the shrimps are so big, the dried fish is so thick! There are also mushrooms, black fungus, dried bamboo shoots, and chestnuts and walnuts! What is this? Dried vegetables made from Chinese cabbage? Wow! These things look delicious, I want to eat them!"

Jiang Yushan scolded: "Look at how greedy you are. If your uncle Shen sees you, he will laugh at you."

Yuan Liqin said, "What are you laughing at? Who wouldn't be greedy when they're pregnant? Fangfang wants to eat some, so I'll take it to the kitchen and make some for you to take home later. You can make it yourself whenever you feel hungry."

Xian Fangfang was very happy: "Okay! Cousin, I want the dried fish and shrimp, some mushrooms, which can be stewed with chicken, and some chestnuts and walnuts. I heard that if you eat more walnuts, your child will be very smart and have good hair... There is also a wooden box. Hey, there is something hidden in the newspaper inside. What is it?"

"Let me see," Yuan Liqin walked over to help push aside the newspapers. A sweet fruity scent emanated from the box: "Oh, this box is full of fruit!"

Xian Fangfang's eyes widened, her mouth watering, as she cheered, "So there really are fruits here. I thought it was just my illusion—my favorite tangerines and navel oranges! Such big peaches, and pears! Ah! I want to eat them, I want to eat them!"

"Eat it, I'll get it for you..."

Before Yuan Liqin finished speaking, a cold voice came: "Don't move, who allowed you to come in?"

The three women turned their heads at the same time and saw Shen Yu standing at the kitchen door.

Xian Fangfang called out in a tender voice: "Brother Yu!"
