After packing up, Shuying went downstairs to help Chen's mother cook.

At noon, Chen's mother steamed big crabs and Shuying cooked.

She made sweet and sour spare ribs, a pot of pickled fish, steamed pork with rice flour, shredded pork with fish flavor, and spicy and sour shredded potatoes.

When Shuying cooks, the food smells so delicious. As each dish is put into the pot, the fragrant aroma wafts out of the room.

Mother Chen had tasted her daughter-in-law's cooking skills before and knew that she was an excellent cook.

Look, seeing how skillful she is and how delicious the dishes she cooks are, even Mother Chen, who has never had much appetite, feels a little hungry in the kitchen.

The shadow of the tree gave Chen's mother a taste, and her eyes lit up surprisingly. She thought her old son went to the Northwest Military Region to suffer, but she never thought he was going to "enjoy life".

Mother Chen had a better impression of her daughter-in-law.

"Mom, the food is ready. Can I make some soup?" Shuying asked at this time.

Make soup, of course.

Mother Chen let her do what she wanted.

Shuying just saw the ingredients and prepared to make some duck soup. He added some dried cuttlefish, wolfberries and red dates and simmered them over low heat. It became very fragrant.

An hour and a half later, the aroma of the duck soup became stronger and stronger. Even Commander Chen, who had just come down from the upstairs, could no longer sit still and asked his wife what delicious dish she had cooked.

Chen Xi was relatively calm when eating dishes cooked by his wife because he was used to them. But he became a little restless when he smelled the aroma of the duck soup.

Chen Chaoyang and Chen Yi couldn't sit still either, and ran to the kitchen from time to time. Chen's mother watched them, fearing that the two boys would get scalded.

Mother Chen replied that her daughter-in-law was stewing duck soup.

Shuying also replied: "Dad, I made some duck soup, you can taste it later!"

Commander Chen laughed happily: "Okay, okay..."

Not long after, the eldest brother of the Chen family also came back. This was the first time Shuying met the eldest brother of the Chen family. The eldest brother of the Chen family looked a bit like her husband, but he was more gentle and handsome. He wore glasses, a blue shirt and trousers, and looked quite energetic.

He brought a simple lesbian with him. However, compared to the eldest brother of the Chen family, the lesbian looked average and dressed more simply.

"Dad, Mom!" After Chen Duo called out to Commander Chen and his mother, he saw Chen Xi and Shu Ying, and his eyes widened. For a moment, he was a little afraid to recognize his tall and strong brother and his stunning sister-in-law in front of him: "A Xi! Sister-in-law?"

"elder brother!"

"Axi, is it really you? When did you come back?" Chen Duo asked excitedly. Then, Chen Duo saw Chen Yi not far away, his lips trembled a few times. Chen Xi patted Chen Duo on the shoulder and talked to him.

Yang Xiaoning, who came to Chen's house with Chen Duo, did not expect that Chen Duo's younger brother would come back. When the two of them were on a blind date, Chen Duo mentioned this younger brother to her many times. However, Chen Xi's aura was too strong, and Yang Xiaoning did not dare to look at him for too long, and her eyes dodged. Instead, she could not help but look at Shu Ying for too long.

As soon as he took a look, there was a flash of surprise in his eyes.

Yang Xiaoning knew that Chen Duo's promising younger brother had found a rural wife, so when she went on a blind date, even though she knew it was from Commander Chen's family, she was still quite arrogant.

Although she looked average and came from an average family, she was a city girl after all. But when Yang Xiaoning saw her appearance at this moment, she felt a little uncomfortable.

Shuying also entertained Yang Xiaoning, and Chen's mother introduced the two to each other.

"Hello, I'm Yang Shuying!"

"Hello, I'm Yang Xiaoning!"

As the two were talking, Yang Xiaoning suddenly smelled an exceptionally fragrant scent. Not only Yang Xiaoning smelled it, but everyone else also smelled the scent of stewed duck soup.

The adults were fine and could hold back their hunger, but the children couldn't. The youngest, Chen Chaoyang, had already started to cry out for hunger.

Commander Chen looked at his precious grandson with a doting look on his face: "Okay, okay, let's eat first. We can talk slowly at the table if we have anything else!"

Yang Xiaoning frowned, thinking that Commander Chen doted on the child too much.

Shuying and Chen's mother went to serve the dishes, and Yang Xiaoning also went to help. The dishes on the table made Commander Chen very hungry, and when the old duck soup was served, it smelled so delicious.

There was no time for conversation, everyone just focused on eating.

Commander Chen and his mother first peeled a large crab for the two children, and then tasted the dishes one by one. They all tasted delicious, but the old couple especially liked the pot of pickled fish and stewed duck soup. The taste was really fragrant and fresh, the meat was tender, and the thick soup also blended into the duck meat, making the duck meat especially delicious. Another sip of the thick and fragrant soup was even more delicious.

Not only the old couple loved it, but everyone else also loved the pot of pickled fish and duck soup. Shuying had never stewed duck soup before, and this was his first time making it. Even Chen Xi thought his duck soup tasted really good, let alone others.

Chen Chaoyang and Chen Yi's cheeks are bulging from eating so much, and they especially love to drink soup and eat duck meat.

Chen Chaoyang said as he ate, "Mom, when we get home, make this again. It's so delicious. I love it!"

"I'll do it if you're good!"

"Then I will definitely be good!" said Chen Chaoyang.

"My grandson will definitely be a good boy!" Commander Chen said with a doting smile.

Chen Yi had grown up and no longer fought for favor. He buried his head in drinking the duck soup, and his mouth was greasy from eating. Shu Ying took a handkerchief and wiped it off. Commander Chen, his mother, and Chen Duo were stunned.

Chen Yi, however, was extremely happy, smiling from ear to ear, and particularly dependent on the shadow of the tree.

At the dinner table, what surprised Commander Chen and his mother even more was that their old son frequently served vegetables and soup to his daughter-in-law. How come they didn’t know that this boy was so considerate before?

After lunch, Yang Xiaoning sat for a while and then found an excuse to leave.

On the other side, the Yang family.

When Yang Xiaoning returned home, her mother asked her how her visit to Commander Chen's house went and how he treated her.

"His attitude is okay, but mom and dad, Aduo's brother also came back to Kyoto today, and I saw the child!" Yang Xiaoning said that the child was quite normal, but she was very satisfied with Chen Duo. However, she was afraid that Chen Yi would implicate herself and her family. The most important thing was that she wanted to have her own child.

The Yang family was an ordinary working class family, and both Yang's father and mother worked in a textile factory.

If Yang Xiaoning hadn't happened to know Chen Duo and someone hadn't introduced them to each other, the Yang family would never have had any contact with a family like the Chen family.

Yang's father and mother were eager for Yang Xiaoning to marry into the Chen family to reduce the burden on the family.

"You've also seen brother Aduo's country wife. What's she like? Has she brought shame to the Chen family?" asked Yang's mother.

Yang Xiaoning bit her lip, thinking about how radiant and elegant Yang Shuying looked today. She looked more like a city girl than she, a girl from Kyoto. More importantly, she was exceptionally beautiful. Yang Xiaoning bit her lip and said nothing.

However, Yang's mother mistakenly thought that her daughter could not get along with the other party. It was also because her daughter was a girl from the city of Kyoto, while the wife of the youngest son of the Chen family was a girl from the countryside. How could they be compared?

Thinking of this, Yang's mother felt more confident. She didn't want her daughter to become a stepmother after she got married.

The child is already over ten years old. It would be a waste of time to raise him. It would be better to have one of my own.

Mother Yang told Chen Duo to tell her directly the next time he asked her about the child, and let the child continue to be raised by the daughter-in-law of the youngest son of the Chen family.

But this child still has to be filial to them in the future.

"I know, Mom!"

Here, Chen Xi asked: "Brother, is that lesbian your blind date?"

Chen Duo nodded, indicating that the other party's family was relatively simple, and the two were dating. If it was suitable, they would get married, if not, forget it. He was busy with work, and had no objection to the woman as long as she could accept his child. However, the woman had some objections and obviously did not want to take care of Chen Yi for him, but she did not directly refuse, so Chen Duo just got along with her.

Tree Shadow: “…”

After experiencing Su Qinhong, Chen's mother also wanted her eldest son to find an honest and caring woman. The most important thing was that the family relationship was simple. There was also the example of her old son. Look, although her old son's wife was from the countryside, she was very beautiful, caring, and a good cook. She also gave them such a cute and lively grandson, and her character was impeccable.

Shuying didn't know yet, but the impression she left on Chen's mother was very good.

It’s just that the eldest son’s blind date wasn’t very willing to take care of Chen Yi, but he didn’t say it explicitly, so Chen’s mother was not very satisfied.

Commander Chen was not very satisfied with the person that Chen's mother had someone introduce to him.

When going to bed at night, not only Chen Xi felt that the person his elder brother was with was not suitable for his brother, but Shuying also felt that this person was not suitable for her elder brother.

During lunch, the eldest brother of the Chen family didn't pay much attention to Xiaoyi.

She did not forget how Chen Yi died of depression by jumping off a building at the end of the book. She could not let her child, whom she had raised well, be ruined any longer. Shuying immediately told her husband that she would raise the child and no one could take the child away from her. Even if the eldest brother of the Chen family really got married and had children, he could not take the child away from her.

"Just tell brother exactly what you said. I don't care if he wants to get married, but the child has to stay with us!" said Shuying.

Chen Xi also meant this. Seeing that his wife had the same idea as him, his hard eyebrows softened unexpectedly. However, his words were tinged with jealousy: "You like Yibao so much?"

Shuying blinked and thought to herself that her own child was so pretty and cute, it would be strange if she didn't like him.

But Chen Xi was thinking that he already had two naughty boys at home, and he wanted to give it to the fair and tender little girl, so he immediately turned over and pressed on her, then lowered his head to cover her lips.

Now he only wants a concubine and nothing else.
