Chapter 1072: Alright, Sister-in-law, just watch and see
Guo Wenjing heard the question, smiled, and propped up her bicycle: "There wasn't much at the unit today, and I happened to be out running errands. Since it's almost time to get off work, I came straight home."
Fu Yan Cheng looked at Fu Yanming, who had also propped up his bicycle: "Big Brother, what about you? You didn't come out to run errands too, did you?"
Fu Yanming smiled, walked over to the water basin in the courtyard, turned on the tap, and said while washing his hands: "The unit wasn't very busy today. Thinking there were matters at home, I finished my work, said hello to the section chief, and left a bit early."
Guo Wenjing smiled at the two of them: "What are you preparing to do?"
Liu Chuxue pointed toward the kitchen: "I'm preparing to show off my skills tonight and let everyone taste my cooking."
Hearing this, Guo Wenjing said: "Yan Cheng has told me many times before that you cook well. Today we are all in for a treat. Come on, I'll help you."
Liu Chuxue naturally did not refuse.
While Fu Yanming was washing his hands, Fu Yan Cheng followed his eldest sister-in-law and his wife into the kitchen.
In order for Liu Chuxue to be able to cook for him when she joined the army in the future, Fu Yan Cheng had spent any spare time he had previously in the mess hall, and now he could even prepare a table of his signature dishes.
Seeing that he was indeed no fake, Liu Chuxue entrusted him with a major task—washing vegetables.
It must be said, Fu Yan Cheng did everything with proper form; the vegetables were not only washed clean but also arranged like soldiers in formation, very neat and tidy.
Seeing that his fourth brother had joined in, Fu Yanming naturally could not do nothing.
So when Fu Yanwan returned with the tofu, she saw her eldest brother, eldest sister-in-law, fourth brother, and fourth sister-in-law all busy in the kitchen: "Big Brother, Fourth Brother, you are here too?"
A trace of awkwardness flashed across Fu Yanming's face; after all, he rarely entered the kitchen before.
Seeing that preparations were nearly complete, Liu Chuxue also noticed her eldest brother-in-law's discomfort: "Alright, leave little Yan to help us. Yan Cheng, you and Big Brother go out and attend to your matters."
Fu Yan Cheng had just been about to say, "How about I do the stir-frying," but before he could open his mouth, Fu Yanming pulled him away: "You've always said Fourth Sister-in-law's cooking is good, so don't just get in the way."
Watching the two brothers being pulled away, Guo Wenjing smiled: "Your Big Brother is just like me; I'm afraid he's been wanting to taste Fourth Sister-in-law's cooking for a long time."
Liu Chuxue had originally planned to be the head chef tonight: "Alright, Sister-in-law, just watch and see."
The three sisters-in-law chatted and laughed while busy in the kitchen. By the time Fu Father, Fu Mother, and the others returned, the meal was nearly ready.
Fu Mother smiled at the people busy in the kitchen: "What delicious food did you make? I could smell the fragrance before even entering the main gate."
Hearing her mother's voice, Fu Yanwan stepped forward and took her arm: "Mom, we are in for a treat today. My Fourth Sister-in-law brought two jin of meat back from her maiden home and made braised pork and pickled cabbage with pork slices stewed with vermicelli. She also made spicy stir-fried dried radish, and the portions are generous."
"I bought tofu back, and Fourth Sister-in-law made pan-fried tofu. Just looking at it makes one crave it."
While she was speaking, the couple from the third branch arrived, followed by the children of the family.
Zhang Yurong had just taken her daughter down from the cart when she heard three-year-old Fu Jinyi say in a soft voice: "So fragrant. Time to eat."
Fu Yan Hong laughed: "You little glutton, you just have a good nose."
Fu Mother smiled and picked up Fu Jinyi: "Is our little Yi hungry?"
The little one patted his own belly: "Belly is hungry."
Fu Mother was amused by this action and giggled.
When Fu Father entered, he saw everyone smiling and talking around the little granddaughter: "What are you chatting about that makes you laugh so happily?"
