Chapter 1834: Guess who I met a few days ago

Chuxue didn't refute her sister-in-law's words but smiled and replied: "You guessed right, I'm craving that too. I'll reward you by letting you enjoy it with me."

Mother Fu watched the two sisters-in-law going back and forth, her face full of smiles.

Guo Wenjing felt a bit envious of the way her fourth brother's wife and her sister-in-law got along; they were like friends, and there was nothing they avoided saying to each other.

Seeing it was getting late, Chuxue looked at Guo Wenjing: "Eldest sister-in-law, let's go. I brought a lot of ingredients, let's give everyone a good boost today."

Guo Wenjing liked this generous and low-maintenance sister-in-law: "Your eldest brother also went to buy some cooked food. You arrange it, and I'll help you."

Chuxue didn't act coy: "Fine."

When they arrived at the kitchen, Fu Yanming was steaming rice.

Seeing them come in: "Mom steamed a pot of two-flour steamed buns last night. I thought since the children were all here today, I'd steam some rice too."

Guo Wenjing smiled: "You're very thoughtful."

The kitchen was bustling with activity: cold shredded cabbage with sugar, radish with sesame paste, pig head meat, fried dough strips with cold dressing, cold shredded kelp with peanuts, pickled cabbage fish, radish stewed with pork ribs, stewed cabbage with vermicelli and pork belly, and fried lotus root sandwiches.

The portion of each dish was very generous, as there were many people with big appetites, and she was afraid there wouldn't be enough if she prepared too little.

After putting the ribs on to stew and the sisters-in-law were preparing other dishes, they heard the loud-voiced Hao Yanhong enter the courtyard: "Mom, sorry, I'm late again. I really couldn't find anyone to cover my shift."

Hao Yanhong was very satisfied with her current life; the work was easy and decent, and the benefits were good. Life had gotten better, and her personality had changed a lot.

Mother Fu looked at the things in her hand and thought: She finally understands a little.

It wasn't that she lacked those few things, but there were many sons, and the other families all brought things. Only their family came back empty-handed every time to sponge off a meal. Over time, even if the others didn't say anything, they probably had some resentment in their hearts.

Mother Fu said to little Guoqing, who was standing on the ground: "Call them."

The little guy smiled first, then said crisply: "Hello, Second Aunt."

After Hao Yanhong responded, she smiled and reached out to touch Guoqing's head, then took a fruit candy out of her pocket: "Our Qingbao has such a sweet mouth. Here, Second Aunt gives you candy."

The little guy accepted it generously: "Thank you, Second Aunt."

At this time, Fu Yancheng had also finished talking with the triplets and came out of the side room together.

The three little ones didn't need anyone to remind them and called out in unison: "Hello, Second Aunt."

Hao Yanhong looked at the three of them with a smile: "Come, come, I have candy here, one for each of you to sweeten your mouths."

This gesture made people look at her with new eyes. Mother Fu and Fu Yancheng looked at each other, both feeling that Hao Yanhong was a bit too enthusiastic.

After exchanging a few pleasantries with Fu Yancheng, Hao Yanhong said to her mother-in-law: "Mom, I'll go to the kitchen to help."

She also raised the bag in her hand: "I brought a roast duck back for everyone to satisfy their cravings."

After saying that, she went into the kitchen.

The kitchen space was limited, and with her there, it was a bit crowded. Fu Yanming's work was just about done, so he gave up his spot.

The three sisters-in-law started chatting.

Hao Yanhong thought of something and said mysteriously: "Guess who I met a few days ago?"

Guo Wenjing looked at her like this and said casually: "Don't tell me you met Yurong's maternal family again?"

Hao Yanhong exclaimed: "Eldest sister-in-law, you're amazing!"

"The day before yesterday, just after I sat down at my workstation, I heard someone buying a train ticket to Tianjin at the next station. It sounded familiar, so I looked up, and it really was an acquaintance." ===== CHAPTER 1840 =====
