Best friends transmigrate into a book! They marry a high-ranking official! If you run, I run too!

So when it came time to cook dinner, Gu Jinfeng started by saying, "Xiaoyue, Mom is cooking dinner tonight, come and help Mom."

Having just eaten canned food, Chi Yue felt embarrassed to eat other people's cooking every day, so she went to the kitchen.

She's the one who cooks...

"Oh dear, Xiaoyue, how could you put in so much oil?"

Chi Yue quickly put a large piece of lard into the pot and melted it. "Mom, fried peanuts don't taste good without oil!"

Gu Jinfeng sat there feeling like she was having a heart attack. Everyone knows that dishes taste better with more oil!

But if you use so much oil in every meal, how can you live like that?

Gu Jinfeng didn't say a word, not even when dinner was served.

Dinner was simple: steamed buns, peanuts, and porridge.

So even cooking isn't a particularly troublesome thing.

Just because it wasn't troublesome, the thought of that big chunk of oil made Gu Jinfeng feel uncomfortable.

Feeling unwell, she didn't eat much for dinner.

Zhong Meixian had no idea about this. All she knew was that her daughter had successfully gotten people to cook, which meant that the two new brides weren't so difficult to deal with. Tomorrow, she would call Wen Tang.

Start with cooking. Over time, you'll gradually get the hang of it, and eventually you'll be able to handle everything from home to work.

Wen Tang had no idea what the mother and daughter were thinking. She simply poured the remaining half-bottle of food into a large porcelain bowl and placed it on the dining table, saying to everyone, "This is what my mother asked me to bring back this afternoon. She felt sorry for Yueyue and me, so she let us open it and taste it first."

Upon hearing her words, Gu Juyuan immediately looked at Zhong Meixian, remaining skeptical of Wen Tang's claims.

Because it's his own wife, how could he not know?

She was frugal her whole life. Even if she had to buy a few candies for the New Year, she would carefully calculate how to save them so that her children could have them until the wheat harvest.

She just lets people eat fruit cans that cost only one or two yuan a can?

Sure enough, Zhong Meixian's eyes were filled with obvious heartache.

So when Wen Tang said, "Let's all try the rest, it's really sweet."

Gu Juyuan immediately shook his head, indicating that he did not like sweets.

Gu Juyuan didn't eat it, and neither did Lin Liansheng, Gu's son-in-law.

Lin Jingshen, the eldest grandson of the Gu family, is a junior, and he always gets priority when it comes to things at home, so he actually reached out and picked up a piece with his chopsticks.

Then he nodded and said, "Yes, it is indeed quite sweet."

After saying that, he immediately reached for his chopsticks again, picked up a piece, and put it in Chi Yue's bowl.

Gu Yanli silently placed two pieces on Wen Tang's plate.

Then, as if to shut Zhong Meixian up, Gu Yanli put two more pieces on her plate. Before Zhong Meixian could stop him, he had already put them in her bowl.

He also casually picked up two pieces for Gu Jinfeng, who looked sullen.

There was one piece left in the large porcelain bowl.

Lin Jingshen looked at it and handed the last piece to Chi Yue.

Things that seemed difficult to distinguish before suddenly became clear and easy to separate.

Zhong Meixian looked at the two pieces of orange pulp in the bowl, opened her mouth, but choked and couldn't say anything.

She genuinely wanted to speak.

She originally wanted to say: She's not greedy, she's perfectly fine with steamed buns and porridge. Canned food and candy are things for children. She's an adult, why would she eat those things?

She thought that after she said that, Wen Tang would definitely not dare to be so greedy next time and would eat whatever good food he could get his hands on.

result……

Zhong Meixian glared at Gu Yanli.

As a result, Gu Yanli didn't even look at her, and even helped Wen Tang pick up peanuts!

The peanuts were fried until evening and smelled delicious; Gu Yanli could tell the difference as soon as he took a bite.

Zhong Meixian was furious!

This further solidified Wen Tang's determination to cook.

Wen Tang couldn't see through her mother-in-law's thoughts. Her husband put two pieces of sweet orange on his plate, and Wen Tang leaned over and said, "Let me share one with you!"

"I don't like sweets, you eat it!"

"Then I should eat it all?"

"Yes, if you like it, I'll buy it for you tomorrow," Gu Yanli said.

Wen Tang was happy to hear this, while Zhong Meixian had a heart attack.

She didn't dare tell her son, but she planned to talk about her daughter-in-law tomorrow.

Living a good life requires careful budgeting. Even though her son receives a high allowance, he can't resist his cravings!

A can of food costs one or two dollars. Even if you eat it two or three times a month, it's still not good to eat too much of it!

Does that mean we shouldn't live our lives anymore?

I'll have to have more children in the future!

The old lady's imagination was all very good.

The situation was that Wen Tang was still not seen at the breakfast table the next morning.

Of course, Chi Yue didn't get up either.

Zhong Meixian couldn't help but mutter, "We can't live like this every day!"

Gu Yanli raised his eyes slightly upon hearing this. "If you can't stand it, I'll go back to the army, submit an application, and then have her come to my place."

Zhong Meixian "..."

"...Huh, what do you mean?"

"To join the army!"

Zhong Meixian "..."

"After that, she got pregnant and gave birth..."

“If you want to go and serve her, then you can go. If you don’t want to go, then talk to her mother and ask her to go instead.”

Zhong Meixian "..."

This is absolutely terrible!

"...Then, won't people talk about me?"

Do you know how awful people's words can be behind your back?

Gu Yanli didn't even look up. "Anyway, you can't just divorce her because you can't stand her, can you?"

Zhong Meixian "..."

The hat is pressing down on me...

"I...when did I ask you to get a divorce? I..."

"Okay, I won't say anything more. I'll say it later. I'm just a blockhead."

The old lady turned her face away in anger.

After dinner, the old lady was sitting in the yard washing clothes when a stylish and pretty young woman stood at the gate, peeking in.

Not seeing many people, the other person called out, "Is anyone home?"

When Zhong Meixian heard someone calling, she washed her hands in the basin and got up.

Then I saw Luo Tian standing at the gate of the courtyard, carrying some things.

Luo Tian's appearance perfectly matches the current aesthetic standards: almond-shaped eyes, an oval face, and a healthy, vibrant look.

Plus, she was dressed beautifully, and Zhong Meixian liked her immediately. Her voice softened involuntarily as she asked, "Miss, who are you looking for?"

Luo Tian was also gentle, "Auntie, I'm an educated youth from the educated youth settlement. My surname is Luo. I'm here to see Comrade Gu Yanli. Is he home?"

Upon hearing that she was looking for her son, and after taking a closer look at Luo Tian's appearance, Zhong Meixian hesitated, unsure whether she should let Luo Tian in.

Because they were afraid that Luo Tian came because she liked Gu Yanli.

If that's the case, then it's going to be difficult, since Gu Yanli is already married.

Although she's proud that her son is doing well, well...

As Zhong Meixian hesitated, Luo Tian stepped into the courtyard. "Auntie, I came here specifically to thank Comrade Gu. Thank you for saving me yesterday. If it weren't for Comrade Gu, I wouldn't be standing here today."

"I should have come to thank Comrade Gu yesterday, but something came up and I was delayed, so I came today instead."

As she spoke, she handed the items in her hand to Zhong Meixian: two packets of brown sugar, two jars of canned goods, and a bag of packaged walnut shortbread.
