Chu Lian doted on Wang Xiangxiang with a laugh and said, "Haha, my wife speaks the truth. Then let’s discuss this matter after we reclaim Dongfeng Restaurant." The source of this content ɪs novel⸺fire.net
Li Fugui nodded. Seeing Chu Lian and Wang Xiangxiang together filled him with envy. Where could his Xiaotian be?
"Li Fugui, have you been to the Yang Family since you came back?" Wang Xiangxiang suddenly asked.
Li Fugui shook his head and replied, "Not yet, I was planning to go after leaving Chu Mansion."
"Husband, why don’t we go together? It has been a long time since we last visited," Wang Xiangxiang suggested. The last visit was during their homecoming, and it had been quite some time. She really missed it.
"Alright, then let’s depart right away," Chu Lian agreed.
After the three of them had discussed their plans, they left the house. Li Fugui brought many gifts with him, mainly food ingredients, because he wanted to go back and cook a delicious meal for everyone.
The carriage soon arrived at Yang Family Village.
As soon as the carriage arrived, Yang Ming’s mother noticed it. Recognizing Chu Lian’s carriage, she quickly went out to greet them. She saw Chu Lian helping Wang Xiangxiang down from the carriage and exclaimed, "Daughter, son-in-law."
"Mother," the two of them called out in unison.
Yang Ming’s mother hurried to help Wang Xiangxiang, worried that in this remote and desolate place, something might happen to her body. She was completely unaware of another person in the carriage.
At that moment, Li Fugui also got off the carriage and called out, "Auntie."
Hearing the voice, Yang Ming’s mother turned around, and upon seeing the newcomer, she became a bit excited, "Fugui is back."
Hearing these words, Li Fugui felt a twinge of emotion. She hadn’t said Fugui had come; she said Fugui had come back. "Yes, Auntie, I have returned."
"Oh, that’s good, that’s good, come inside quickly," Yang Ming’s mother urged eagerly.
"Yes, Auntie, just a moment, let me get the things from the carriage." Li Fugui went to fetch the things he had brought, big and small packages aplenty.
"Look at you all, just coming back would have been enough. Why bring so much stuff? What don’t we have at home? Besides, it’s summer now, and the yard is full of vegetables." Yang Ming’s mother couldn’t help but nag a little upon seeing all the food Li Fugui had brought. She had been frugal all her life and didn’t want her children to spend money unnecessarily.
Li Fugui smiled, "Auntie, it’s all food, didn’t cost much Silver. Later, I’ll cook and let everyone taste my skills."
Wang Xiangxiang, her arm looped through Yang Ming’s mother’s, joked, "Mother, he’s a top-notch chef now. You’re in for a treat. The food he cooks isn’t something just anyone can taste."
After hearing this, Yang Ming’s mother chuckled, "Really? Well, your aunt will have to try it out later."
Chu Lian helped carry things too, and the group quickly entered the house. As soon as they were inside, Li Fugui asked, "Auntie, where is everyone?"
"Your eldest sister and the others have gone to the rented courtyard. The three kids have been sent to School in town. Your uncle and the rest have gone to the fish pond."
"The three kids are at School? Do they commute back and forth?" Li Fugui was very concerned about the three little ones, as he had taught them for a period.
"There’s a bullock cart in the village that will bring them back this afternoon," Yang Ming’s mother replied.
"Mother, how is the fish pond doing?" Wang Xiangxiang asked.
"Ah, you might not know yet, but your eldest brother and the others have returned. The house by the fish pond has been built, and they stocked it with fish fry yesterday. Now they are just waiting for the fish to grow. They’re basically living at the fish pond now, so it leaves me, the idle one at home, with nothing to do but cook for them."
