Qin Shu watched Li Tongxin and Xu Yingying play with Yangguang as soon as they came back. He didn't say anything and went straight back to the house to prepare dinner.

Thinking back to when Li Tongxin asked what to eat tonight, he promised to cook the dishes that Tongxin liked. Qin Shu went into the kitchen and opened the refrigerator to take out corn, eggs, and lean meat, preparing to make minced meat and corn soup.

Qin Shu threshed the corn, rinsed the kernels, and drained them. He minced the lean meat and chopped the scallions. He also beat the eggs and set aside.

Qin Shu expertly turned on the gas stove, placed the wok on the flame, and poured in a suitable amount of cooking oil. When the oil was hot and smoking, he quickly poured the chopped meat into the wok and quickly stir-fried it with a spatula. The minced meat rolled and danced in the hot oil, emitting waves of enticing aroma. After a while, the minced meat began to change color and the moisture was gradually dried out.

Next, Qin Shu added a large bowl of water to the pot and tossed in the corn kernels. She expertly seasoned the food, adding just the right amount of salt, then covered the pot and let the ingredients boil over high heat. Once she had the right heat, she lowered the heat just enough to allow the corn kernels to simmer.

At this moment, Xu Yingying also walked into the kitchen, watching Qin Shu's every move curiously.

"Auntie, what are you doing?" Xu Yingying couldn't help asking.

Qin Shu raised his head and replied with a smile, "This is your cousin's favorite minced meat and corn soup!"

Time passed minute by minute, and after about ten minutes of simmering on low heat, the corn kernels were cooked through and became sweet and delicious. At this time, Qin Shu took out the pre-mixed water starch and slowly poured it into the pot, stirring gently, allowing the soup to gradually thicken.

The next step is even more crucial. Qin Shu slowly pours in the beaten egg, stirring constantly to form beautiful flocs in the soup. As the egg is incorporated, the whole pot of soup becomes more delicious and tasty.

Finally, when everything was ready, Qin Shu decisively turned off the fire, poured the delicious minced meat and corn soup into a bowl, and sprinkled some green chives on it as garnish, which instantly enhanced the appearance and aroma of the dish.

Looking at Aunt Qin's skillful cooking skills, Xu Yingying couldn't help but sigh: "For the sake of her children, a mother can really become a cooking god!"

Qin Shu, who had heard it, turned around and asked, "What did you say?"

"I didn't say anything! Auntie, this really looks delicious." Xu Yingying looked at the golden and tempting minced meat and corn soup in the pot and couldn't help but praise it.

"That's a must. This is my aunt's specialty." Qin Shu said with a smile, his face full of pride.

After finishing the minced meat and corn soup, Qin Shu prepared to cook the rice. She walked to the rice vat and was about to wash the rice when Xu Yingying quickly ran over to take the rice basin and said, "Auntie, I'll do this. You can go do other things!"

Since Xu Yingying came to their house, she often took the initiative to help in the kitchen. Qin Shu gradually got used to her presence and help, and this time was no exception. So, she confidently handed the task of washing rice and cooking to Xu Yingying, and turned around to continue making other dishes.

Time passed, and Qin Shu's cooking skills were fully demonstrated. Soon, the table was filled with two dishes and a soup that were both delicious. At this time, the rice in the rice cooker was also cooked, and they only needed to wait for Li Zhiqiang to come home before they could eat.

The sunlight outside the door made its unique call again, and Xu Yingying guessed that it was Li Zhiqiang who had returned.

With the crisp sound of a door opening, Li Zhiqiang returned home from a day's work. His face was filled with fatigue, but his eyes revealed a longing and anticipation for home. As soon as he stepped through the door, he was immediately surrounded by the fragrant aroma of food, and his mood immediately brightened.

"Honey, what delicious food did you make today?" Li Zhiqiang asked impatiently as he took off his shoes. His voice was filled with a hint of coquettishness and anticipation, like a child waiting for candy to arrive.

"These are all your favorite dishes. Come wash your hands and come over to eat!" Qin Shu replied. Then he turned around and said to Xu Yingying, "Yingying, ask Tong Xin to come out to eat together!"

"Okay!" Xu Yingying went to Li Tongxin's room immediately.

After washing his hands, Li Zhiqiang walked briskly to the dining table. His eyes fell on the dishes on the table that exuded tempting aromas, and a sense of satisfaction surged in his heart. These sumptuous meals seemed to be a reward for his hard work all day, making him feel tired.

"Wife, why are you so thoughtful today and cook so many of my favorite dishes?" Li Zhiqiang couldn't help but ask curiously.

"When I went to the market today, I happened to see some fresh pork, so I thought I'd make you a nice meal," Qin Shu explained with a smile. Her eyes revealed her love and consideration for her husband, making people feel the warmth and happiness of family.

Li Zhiqiang couldn't help but smile after hearing this, his heart filled with emotion. He knew his wife had always been a thoughtful and considerate person, always thinking of his needs. This silent care made him feel extremely happy.

"My wife really understands me." Li Zhiqiang said as he saw Li Tongxin and Xu Yingying walking towards the dinner table. They were holding hands, their faces filled with happy smiles. Seeing this scene, Li Zhiqiang felt even happier.

"We're in for a treat tonight! These are my mom's specialties," Li Tongxin said as she saw the dishes on the table. Her voice was filled with excitement and anticipation; she clearly couldn't wait to try these delicious dishes.

"Yes, your mother's cooking skills are first-rate," Li Zhiqiang agreed. At this moment, Xu Yingying also started to act coquettishly: "Auntie, why didn't you make your specialty dishes when I came before? Don't you like me?" She pouted slightly, her eyes revealing a hint of grievance, but more of it was a joke and a coquettish look.

When Qin Shu heard this, she quickly explained with a smile: "How could that be, Yingying. It's just that everyone is very busy on weekdays and doesn't have enough time to prepare so many dishes. Today everyone happens to be free, so I thought of rewarding everyone." Aunt Qin's words were full of tenderness and patience, which made people feel very kind.

"Today was really great. I went to the zoo in the afternoon and saw cute animals, and I had my mom's specialty dish in the evening!" Li Tongxin said happily, with a satisfied smile on her face.

"Did you go to the zoo this afternoon?" Li Zhiqiang asked while eating.

"Yes, Dad. I also saw many different types of monkeys." Li Tongxin shared.
