After receiving a letter from her daughter-in-law, Shen Qiu's mother-in-law took a leave of absence and came by train that same day. She and her son were not in the same military region, so it would take a day to get here by train.

Her son was on a mission, and Jiang's mother did not tell her daughter-in-law in advance that she was coming. She found an ox cart and carried a large bag of things to the army.

When Shen Qiu came, he hadn't finished get off work yet, so Shen Shuyu brought him home.

"Auntie, Xiaoqiu will be back soon. Please sit down and have a rest and drink some water."

Shen Qiu was not at home and the door was locked. Shen Shuyu knew where the key was, so she opened the door and led Jiang's mother into the house.

"Hey, sit down too. We're all family, so there's no need to entertain us. This is Xiaoze, right? He's really cute. Come, let Grandma Jiang give you a hug."

Xiaoze was in his mother's arms. He looked at his grandmother in front of him, then looked at his mother. Shen Shuyu said, "This is your Grandma Jiang. Grandma Jiang also bought a hat for Xiaoze."

Xiaoze blinked his dark eyes, then opened his arms to let Grandma Jiang hug him.

At Jiang's age, her mother likes children, especially fair-skinned and cute children like this.

The two of them teased the child and chatted about the child from time to time. Time passed quickly. "Auntie, please sit down. I'll go cook. How about we have stir-fried pork tonight?"

"How can I let you cook? I'll do it, you just sit there." The two of them rushed into the kitchen. Shen Qiu heard some noise in her house and strode in. "Big sister?"

Walking into the living room and seeing her mother-in-law, Shen Qiu trotted forward and said, "Mom, you're here, why didn't you tell me so I could pick you up."

Shen Qiu never expected that her mother-in-law would come. Her mother-in-law is usually very busy.

Jiang's mother smiled gently, "I missed you, so I came to see you."

While the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were chatting, Shen Shuyu went back home, got the ingredients and started cooking.

When Gu Jiandong is at home, Shen Shuyu basically doesn't have to cook. When he is not at home, Shen Shuyu cooks by herself. Occasionally, if she doesn't want to cook, she will go to the cafeteria to get food. However, the big pot meals are not very delicious, and Shen Shuyu is a bit picky.

Shen Qiu found out that she was pregnant, so Shen Shuyu cooked for her every day. At noon, they killed a chicken and half of it was left uneaten, so Shen Shuyu used it to make chicken soup. She exchanged the chicken from Mrs. Wang's house next door. No seasoning was needed, just some mushrooms and salt, and the chicken soup was delicious.

It was the first time Jiang's mother came over, so Shen Shuyu cooked a few more dishes, including stir-fried pork, braised pork ribs, blanched choy sum, eggplant and potatoes, scrambled eggs with leeks, and chicken soup.

Shen Qiu and Jiang's mother wanted to come in to help, but were pushed out by Shen Shuyu.

"Mom, my elder sister can handle it by herself. Let's go to the living room and wait for dinner." Shen Qiu was not polite to her elder sister. Instead, she felt happy in her heart. Her elder sister really loved her.

Jiang's mother was holding Xiaoze happily. Shen Qiu came back and brought a toy for his nephew. It was a tin frog. If you pressed it lightly, the frog would jump up. Xiaoze was so happy that he clapped his hands.

"Mom, do you like Xiaoze?"

"I like it." Who wouldn't like such a cute child?

Shen Qiu touched her belly and said, "I like it. I will give you eight or ten grandchildren and let them surround you."

If her elder sister could give birth to such a cute Xiaoze, she could too.

Her grandmother was able to give birth to six children, so she felt that she should be able to do well too.

Shen Qiu was full of ambition. People here who didn't know him thought that having eight or ten children was as easy as laying eggs.

Jiang's mother was amused by her daughter-in-law. She liked her daughter-in-law's straightforwardness. "It's too hard to give birth to ten or eight children. It's not easy for women to give birth. Mom doesn't want you to suffer. Just give birth to one or two. I'll take care of them for you."

Jiang's mother has made up her mind that once her daughter-in-law gives birth, she will step down and help her take care of the child.

Of course, if her daughter-in-law doesn't need her, she will continue to contribute to the country.

"I'm so lucky to have such a good mother-in-law."

"It's time to eat." Shen Shuyu brought out the chicken soup first.

Shen Qiu got up and went to the kitchen to serve the dishes. Mother Jiang felt satisfied with the large table of dishes. Shu Yu was willing to cook so many dishes, which proved that they had a really good relationship as sisters. Otherwise, who would be willing to work so hard?
