The Story of a Spoiled Daughter Raising a Husband

Isn't the purpose of life to be happy? Who doesn't want to live a more comfortable life?

So after hearing this, the old man respected Tong Qian very much. His purpose in coming today was to hope that his granddaughter could be happy.

As long as Tong Qian is happy, nothing is insurmountable. What kind of lifestyle she chooses is entirely her own decision.

He didn't want to give Tong Qian a wealthy life only to find her an unhappy canary kept in a cage.

Tong Qian was surprised that the old man was so easy to talk to, and her smile deepened. The group chatted about everyday things in the house, creating a warm and happy scene.

No one expected that the seemingly peaceful and approachable old man was actually the current emperor.

While they were chatting, Xiao Baozi ran back. Seeing that there were strangers in the house, he ran straight to Tong Qian.

The old man was even more excited when he saw the little bun. He was also very happy, as both children were being raised very well.

Tong Qian promised her grandfather that she would definitely go to the capital for a visit after a while, which would be a way for her to reunite with her family.

Tong Qian could also see that after years of exile, her grandfather especially cherished the precious time he spent with his family.

The only misfortune was the death of her own daughter. Reflecting on this, Tong Qian realized she still had a younger brother. She should spend more time with him, as a way to make up for the years of pain she had endured.

With the arrival of her maternal grandfather and uncle, Tong Qian prepared a very sumptuous meal tonight.

During this period of postpartum confinement, Tong Qian has not done any cooking or housework at all. Ji Xiuping and the maids have done most of the work, and sometimes her two older sisters come to help. Tong Qian has been idle for more than a year.

Today's situation is also special; Tong Qian is in a particularly good mood, so of course she's willing to personally take care of things.

Ji Xiuping: I know this wife is an excellent cook; her dishes are perfect for entertaining guests.

"Wife, let me help you." Ji Xiuping quickly walked up to Tong Qian.

Tong Qian shook her head and refused, "You should take care of your son first, and talk to your grandfather and uncle while you're at it. Otherwise, it won't be good if they get bored later. Wen'er and I are in the kitchen now, so we can definitely manage."

As soon as Tong Qian finished speaking, Wen'er nodded in agreement, "Master Gu, don't worry, I'm here for you.

Upon hearing this, Ji Xiuping nodded, thinking that the two people outside did indeed need someone to take care of them, and then nodded, "Alright, I'll go over there, but honey, you mustn't tire yourself out."

"OK."

Tong Qian then got busy with the tasks as well.

During this period, because of Tong Qian's postpartum confinement, the family prepared a lot of things. Ji Xiuping's wife didn't eat well during her confinement, so they bought a lot of things to keep on hand. During this period, Tong Qian was basically raised like a pig.

After this period of postpartum confinement, Tong Qian has gained about 20 pounds compared to before. Her originally very thin figure is now on the heavier side.

However, to others, this figure is not fat at all; on the contrary, it is very suitable.

Tong Qian has high standards; even in the 21st century, she still prefers women who are a bit thin.

She planned to wait until after her postpartum period was over, and then start planning how to lose weight in a reasonable way.

Otherwise, if things continue like this, Tong Qian is really afraid that in another year or two she will become a big fat person, and then she won't be able to fit into her clothes. It will not only cost money, but also affect her appearance.

Fortunately, there were plenty of ingredients at home, so Tong Qian just picked out a few at random.

I made a simple dish of pork belly, a spicy chicken, boiled sliced ​​pork, a sauerkraut fish, a bowl of meatball soup, Mapo tofu, braised pork ribs with mushrooms, and braised chicken with mushrooms.

There was still some of the spicy seasoning left from the previous marinating, so Tong Qian stir-fried a plate of cured pork, added some chili peppers, made twice-cooked pork, and then boiled a sausage.

This makes for a very sumptuous meal.

Such ingredients can only be used to make some simple home-style dishes; they can't possibly be used to make a Manchu Han Imperial Feast like those served in the imperial palace. They can only make do with what they have.

There were quite a few dishes, so preparing them was naturally a bit slow.

At this moment, Ji Xiuping was sitting inside the room chatting with two men.

If it were someone else, they would definitely be a little reserved or shy and embarrassed to speak when they first meet.

Ji Xiuping was not like that at all. He had been talking non-stop all his life. Tong Qian suspected that he was mute in his previous life, which was why he was so talkative now. His mouth just wouldn't stop. He would chatter on and on about everything under the sun, making his grandfather and uncle laugh heartily.

The aroma soon wafted from the kitchen. Grandpa and Uncle were both a little hungry, and without any airs, they touched their bellies.

After all, they had been eating mostly dry rations on their journey and hadn't had a proper rest or a meal at an inn.

Now that I can smell the aroma of food again, and it's mealtime, my stomach is definitely rumbling.

However, after waiting for a while and not seeing Tong Qian bring out the food, they knew that there must be a lot of things prepared in the kitchen.

The old man asked Ji Xiuping, "Hey nephew-in-law, go and talk to your wife. Just make a few simple dishes. Our family can't eat that much. There's no need to be so particular. Don't go to all that trouble."

Ji Xiuping simply shook his head and said, "Grandpa, of course that won't do. Look, you and your uncle have come all this way from here, so you must make sure your meal is prepared properly."

My wife cooks very quickly; the food will be ready in no time. Grandpa will definitely have a good meal, haha. I absolutely have to let Grandpa try Tongqian's cooking later; he'll see how delicious it is! He'll definitely be very happy and won't be able to stop eating.

The old man laughed heartily upon hearing this, and couldn't help but sniff the aroma again. He said to the man in front of him, "Just smelling this is wonderful. It must taste amazing when it's made. I never imagined my granddaughter's cooking skills were so good."

When he said this, Ji Xiuping nodded with great pride, "That's for sure, Grandpa. You probably don't know this, but if we're talking about cooking skills, my wife's cooking is much better than the food made by chefs in those big restaurants. Everyone who has eaten my wife's cooking has said it's delicious."
