To make up for the debt owed to Lin Qingping and Gu Juncheng

When her father-in-law and mother-in-law appeared at the door, Lin Qingping was stunned. The word "father" and "mother" stuck in her throat and she couldn't say it.

The parents-in-law were very excited.

Liu Fen, the mother-in-law, came in beaming and immediately surrounded her. Her father-in-law, who was usually taciturn, also showed a rare, open smile.

Gu Juncheng followed them in and helped them carry their luggage.

The luggage consisted of four snakeskin bags; it was unclear what was inside.

Liu Fen was so happy she could barely speak, only able to spin around and say, "That's wonderful! Oh, that's really wonderful!"

Lin Qingping looked at Gu Juncheng with a puzzled look in her eyes: What's going on?

Gu Juncheng put down his luggage. "Your parents heard that you weren't eating or sleeping well and were having severe morning sickness, so they came to take care of you."

Lin Qingping felt really choked up for a while before she could calm down.

Then, I used reason to slowly smooth out the knot in my heart.

Yes, she was used to the life of a family of three. Of course, now that there are four of them, she is a little unwilling to live with her parents-in-law again.

However, she had no reason to object.

Back in her hometown, it's only natural for parents to live with their son. It's just that Gu Juncheng is in the military, so she's only been able to have a few years of her own little family of three. Besides, her in-laws are here to take care of her. She really isn't eating or sleeping well right now. Her mother-in-law is an experienced person, so maybe she can make her pregnancy more comfortable...

Moreover, and most importantly, her in-laws are very kind. Even though she was so difficult in her past life, the two elders didn't say anything to her. Apart from being a bit easily swayed and prone to being manipulated, her mother-in-law is fine. This island is isolated from the world, so no one can provoke her.

As her in-laws emptied the burlap sack piece by piece, Lin Qingping sorted out her thoughts and emotions before finally having the time to see what they had brought.

These are all homemade pickles and preserved vegetables by my mother-in-law. They used to be her favorite.

“These things are just to whet your appetite,” the mother-in-law said with a smile. “Also, Chengzi told me you love chicken, so I caught several. Unfortunately, I can’t bring any more.”

Upon hearing this, Lin Qingping realized that besides the chirping of chicks, there was indeed the sound of a mother hen outside the courtyard.

Lin Qingping thought about how the two old people had carried the chickens on their shoulders and in their hands, and even carried a net bag full of live chickens along the way. It must have been really hard for them. It was a miracle that those chickens had survived until now.

Fortunately, the old green trains at that time could carry all sorts of things; if it were the high-speed trains of the future, they wouldn't be able to carry anything.

Liu Fen was very happy and even said, "Don't you think these chickens are lucky? They traveled all the way in that big car and then on a boat, and they were all seasick and foaming at the mouth. But now that they're here with you, they're all better and hopping around outside. Old man, why don't you go and feed the chickens something?"

Liu Fen didn't even think about sitting down for a drink of water. "Pingzi hasn't eaten yet, has he? I'll go cook."

She turned around and went into the kitchen.

Lin Qingping had no choice but to agree. "Fine, fine, since you're here, let's stay together."

It has to be said that everyone has a strong attachment to their hometown.

Lin Qingping has lived two lives, traveling all over the country, but she has never eaten anything like this.

But the deep-seated homesickness in her bones surged especially strong when Liu Fen cooked this meal.

Liu Fen made a stir-fried cabbage with vinegar, a chicken stir-fry with sesame oil, and a spicy stir-fried pork dish, and also served a plate of pickled radishes that she had brought with her.

Lin Qingping ate two bowls of rice with these few dishes.
