There is no live-in nanny in the Li family villa because Li's mother is not used to having outsiders living in the house.

But the villa was too big, and Li Xiao didn't want his mother to work so hard, so he hired two part-time cleaners for them.

The hourly workers come on time every morning and afternoon to clean the house, and then go back to their own homes, so the Li family doesn't have to provide them with meals.

When the part-time workers arrived today, Mother Li gave the two of them some fresh fruits she bought at the market to taste, and then asked them to clean the entire house again, especially the room where her sons lived.

Yesterday, they all cleaned up the yard outside the house. In fact, the house had already been thoroughly cleaned two days ago.

But Mother Li is still busy and happy to make arrangements.

The two hourly workers got along very well with Mother Li. Knowing that her son and daughter-in-law, who were working away from home, were about to come back, they understood the employer's feelings very well and agreed with a smile.

Such a kind owner is rare to find. They have to work hard to keep doing this for a long time.

When the familiar roar of an airplane came from the distance, Li's father and mother put down the food they were eating, washed their hands, straightened their clothes, and then went to the roof to wait.

The plane came to a steady stop. Li Xiao got off the plane and saw his parents coming to greet him. After calling them "Mom and Dad" with his wife, he said helplessly, "Why are you waiting here again? It's so windy here."

Li's father laughed, "We just dodged it and came out after we stopped steadily. It's not a problem."

Li's mother pushed aside her son who was blocking her way and took her daughter-in-law's hand. "Chengcheng, you're finally back. Come on, I've prepared something delicious for you. I'll make you pickled fish for lunch. I bought it at the market this morning..."

Li Xiao: Oh, now that I have a daughter-in-law, my son won’t be able to see me anymore!

Li Xiao smiled and shook his head. "Dad, come and help unload the luggage. Brother Nan is about to drive the plane back to the airport for maintenance."

There were only four guards accompanying them this time, including the two Qian brothers.

However, with the addition of Li Xiao's two former special forces assistants who are still able to fight, the security force is not weak.

The guards had followed Qian Cencheng into the team and worked without rest for two years. After they came back, Qian Dong arranged for them to take turns to rest.

Li's father came to the rear cabin and saw a pile of gifts. "Did you buy us a lot of flashy things again? I told you we have everything at home, so there's no need to spend that money."

"Dad, you've wronged me this time. These are gifts your daughter-in-law brought you. They didn't cost much, though. Most of them are handmade treats."

Yesterday, the girl and Sister Ruoxin were busy at the old house all day.

But it’s fun for the whole family to get together and cook, including him.

"Delicious? Or maybe Chengcheng loves us."

Li Xiao: Yes, yes, yes.

Anyway, as soon as his wife comes back, his status in the family immediately drops to the bottom, and he is used to it.

After the luggage was moved into the house, the family of four sat down and had a good chat about family matters.

At lunch time, everyone goes to the kitchen.

Although he doesn't have to be the chef, Qian Cencheng has learned some cooking skills by helping out under the chef Li Xiao over the years.

But at this moment, Li's mother didn't let her do any complicated work. She just took a few bulbs of garlic and asked her to pick them up for fun.

The main focus is to create an atmosphere that integrates into family activities.

Li Ma: Just kidding, my daughter-in-law’s hands are born to hold experimental instruments, they are so precious.

If she hadn't seen her daughter for several years and wanted to chat with her, she wouldn't let her enter the kitchen.

Thanks to the efforts of several chefs (three to be exact), a table full of dishes was quickly served.

As soon as Mother Li came up, she made pickled fish for Qian Cencheng. "Chengcheng, let's just have a simple meal at noon. Your grandma's family and your grandparents' family will be over in the evening, so we'll make a big dinner then."

"Mom, I can do it myself. You and Dad can eat too. This is already very rich."

Sihasiha~~So spicy and numb~~

But it's delicious~~

It turns out that food made by yourself is extra delicious!

As expected, Qian Cencheng ate too much.

After the meal, Li Xiao rubbed her belly with amusement, "It's really that serious. I've made you several Sichuan and Chongqing dishes in the past few days since I came back. Are you still not satisfied?"

"That's different. Mom's cooking has her own unique flavor. Besides, the chili peppers and peppercorns in Beijing aren't as authentic as the ones here. They're definitely not as good."

Later, Qian Cencheng accompanied Li's mother to the garden in the villa area to take a walk to digest the food.

Li Xiaoze and his father were discussing some work matters in the study.

"Chengcheng, no matter how busy you are at work, you must take care of your health. You can see you have lost weight when you came back this time." Mother Li said with a loving face.

"I know, Mom. But I haven't lost much weight. I've gained a few pounds thanks to the food Li Xiao has given me these days." Qian Cencheng responded obediently with a smile.

Is this what they call "there is a kind of thinness, called your mother thinks you are thin"?

Not bad.

"It's better to be fatter. Fatter looks better."

It’s no wonder that Mother Li loves her daughter-in-law so much. Chengcheng is the daughter that she loves dearly. Her appearance, conversation, personality, and family background satisfy her in every way.

The little girl never clamors to lose weight or go on a diet like the girls nowadays.

Chengcheng is very keen on eating. He eats and drinks as he pleases.

Especially the Sichuan and Chongqing dishes she made. Even if she just made a home-cooked dish, the little girl would be very supportive and say "It's so delicious", which made her feel a sense of accomplishment.

This is what makes her most satisfied!

Li Xiao: ...maybe the girl was just being polite and showing her support? She even praised me, saying that my cooking is the best!

Qian Cencheng: Nonsense, my mother’s cooking is delicious! Of course, your cooking is delicious too…

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law walked and talked intimately, hand in hand, like real mother and daughter.

"Why didn't I see Li Sheng this time? Did Xiaoxiao have other work to keep him busy?"

Every time the son goes back to his hometown, the child will follow him and say that this city is his second hometown and he misses the people and scenery here.

Qian Cencheng thought of a certain daughter slave and replied with a smile: "Brother Sheng is staying at home with his daughter. The young man has been in the group for several months, and he has been separated from his precious daughter for several months. He can't leave her once he returns to Beijing."

In fact, Li Sheng also wanted to come this time, but Li Xiao considered that the plane flew directly home and there was no need to go through the airport, so it would be fine without him, so he let him continue to accompany his daughter.

"Oh, I forgot. His wife gave birth to a daughter at the beginning of the year. He should spend more time with his daughter. This little baby grows so fast, changing every day. If he leaves her for too long, he will miss out on the joy of her growth."

Seeing his mother talking about the baby with a gentle and yearning look on her face, Qian Cencheng asked, "Mom, do you like the baby?"

"I like it. Who doesn't like a baby? But we're not in a hurry. Chengcheng, mom is not trying to force you to give birth." Mother Li patted her hands and said with a smile.
