Lin Xiaoxue looked up and saw water drops sliding down his crew cut, making him look even more heroic in the firelight.

"Please sit down for a while!" She smiled and shook her head, "Your favorite braised spareribs will be served later."

Mother Lu looked at her son intently and sized up Lin Xiaoxue's busy figure, her heart filled with satisfaction and pride.

She smiled and said to him, "You are so lucky. Your wife is a great cook. There is no one else like her in the entire Lu family."

When Lu Jingting heard this, he thought to himself: It must be delicious, otherwise why would those pickled sauerkraut be so popular in the workshop.

At this moment, Father Lu's steady voice came from outside: "My dear, come and help me."

Lin Xiaoxue looked up and shouted to the outside, "Mom, go and get busy. I'm here in the kitchen."

Mother Lu nodded and walked out of the kitchen.

Lu Jingting took the initiative to suggest: "Let me light the fire."

Lin Xiaoxue nodded, picked up the cutting board and kitchen knife, and started cutting the vegetables quickly on the chopping board.

The eggplant and potato slices are evenly and rhythmically piled into small hills.

She then seasoned the minced meat with appropriate amounts of salt and soy sauce, and added a few drops of sesame oil to enhance the aroma and gloss of the meat filling.

Then she started to stir-fry the vegetables in the pot. Against the backdrop of the stove fire, she looked like a hardworking and beautiful young wife.

"How about we make pickled fish today?" Lin Xiaoxue turned around and asked, "It can just be used as the pickled cabbage in the workshop."

"Of course!" Lu Jingting agreed readily. Just by hearing her description, he couldn't wait to try it.

Soon, several plates of home-cooked delicacies with tempting aromas were placed on the table.

The braised eggplant is shiny, the stir-fried vegetables are lush and green, and the golden shredded potatoes are appetizing.

The most eye-catching thing is the bowl of rich and spicy, white jade-like soft fish meat mixed with light yellow pickled cabbage strips, as well as the plump braised pork and cold dishes.

Each one of them makes people drool.

As soon as Shi Zhenli entered the door, she was mesmerized by the aroma of food wafting from the house.

She ran to the kitchen door and exclaimed: "Oh my, there are so many delicious foods, they smell so good! We are having such a sumptuous meal today, it's like Chinese New Year, we are really in for a treat!"

She turned to look at Lu Jingting, "This is all thanks to you!"

Lin Xiaoxue listened to Shi Zhenli's praise and was secretly happy but did not show it.

She wiped the water stains on her hands and ordered, "Sister-in-law, stop standing there and go call everyone to come over for dinner."

"Okay, I'll go and call them right away." Shi Zhenli agreed readily. There was delicious food waiting for her, and her legs were faster than anyone else's.

Soon the Lu family gathered around the dining table.

Only Lu Xiaoyun, who was at school, and Lu Jingshi, who was working in the factory, did not come back.

Otherwise, with this family reunion and this table full of sumptuous dishes, it would be no different from Chinese New Year.

As they sat down together, the air was filled with laughter.

Mother Lu picked up her chopsticks and tasted a piece of fish. "Jingting, look how neatly your wife cut the fish slices! Each piece is so even and thin."

After saying that, he pointed to the bowl of tempting and appetizing braised pork.

"You two can tell me, they are all the same thing, but Xiaoxue's is more delicious."

"And this preserved egg was also made by Xiaoxue! It sells very well in the workshop. It is so delicious when used to make preserved egg and lean meat porridge in the morning."

Mother Lu wanted to show Lu Jingting all of Lin Xiaoxue's cooking skills so that he would know how good this daughter-in-law was.

Lu Jingting nodded. Although there was no smile in his eyes, he was really happy in his heart.

His eyes were focused and satisfied as he tasted each dish, savoring the rich and spicy flavor, the combination of the soft fish meat like white jade and the light yellow sauerkraut strips, which brought an incomparable enjoyment to his tongue.

"It's really good!" he said with emotion, "It's better than the state-owned restaurants."

Hearing this, Lin Xiaoxue lowered her head shyly, "If you like it, eat more."

Seeing that there were only a few grains of rice in his bowl, he hurriedly filled it up.

Lu Jingting ate three bowls of rice in a row, and it seemed as if he was savoring Lin Xiaoxue's kindness in every bite.

An unusual light flashed in his deep eyes, and he looked at his young wife with tenderness and admiration.

When Mother Lu saw this scene, she was secretly delighted. She secretly glanced at Father Lu, and both of them were secretly laughing while holding the porcelain bowl.

As long as the relationship between the couple is as sweet as honey, they will be one step closer to their dream of having a grandson.

After dinner, Lin Xiaoxue stood up to wash the dishes, but was stopped by her sister-in-law Su Guifen.

"You two newlyweds should go for a walk in the village." Su Guifen smiled and pushed her away, "I'll do the washing today!"

Lin Xiaoxue had the same idea, so she nodded in agreement.

"Let's go and digest the food." Lin Xiaoxue suggested softly, "After all, we ate quite a lot tonight."

She wanted to take this opportunity to spend more time with Lu Jingting.

In the dim night, the two walked side by side on the country road.

The surroundings were quiet and silent, with only the sound of laughter coming from the dining tables in the distance.

Rural people work from sunrise to sunset and rest from sunset to sunrise. At this time, most families have turned off the lights and rested.

"This family was able to renovate their house this year, and they said it was all thanks to the income our Lu family workshop brought them." Lin Xiaoxue said with pride, pointing to the old house under construction nearby.

"That family is the same. They say that now they have something to do and an income, and they have something to look forward to."

"I never thought that my workshop would bring so much hope to the villagers."

As Lu Jingting listened to her, a sincere smile appeared on his face.

He was so fascinated that he said with emotion: "My wife is really amazing."

"It's not my fault." Lin Xiaoxue shook her head and denied it. "This is the result of the joint efforts of the entire Lu family, and our village as well."

"You are quite humble, that's good. Comrade Xiaolin has a high level of ideological awareness. I hope you won't be proud and continue to maintain this good style." Lu Jingting said in a tone.

This made Lin Xiaoxue push him: "Why are you so serious all of a sudden? I'm not your soldier."

Lu Jingting took the opportunity to continue the conversation: "That's right, how can you be my soldier? You are the treasure in my hand."

Lin Xiaoxue's face suddenly turned red. She didn't expect that Lu Jingting was just as good at saying sweet words. She thought he was always serious and didn't understand romance.

The two of them were talking and laughing as they walked, and they didn't notice that a pair of eyes were silently watching them.

This look is complicated and hard to understand, like envy and hatred...

Liu Cuihua hid in the shadow of an old locust tree, her eyes like twinkling sparks in the night, bright yet filled with some indescribable emotions.

She watched Lin Xiaoxue and Lu Jingting walking side by side, and she felt as if a small hand was tightly grasping her heart.

When her eyes fell on Lu Jingting, her obsession almost made her forget to breathe.

Ever since she learned that Lu Jingting had returned, Liu Cuihua ran over to spy on him impatiently.

He didn't even have time to finish dinner at home and left in a hurry.

When she heard the laughter and joy coming from the Lu family, she wished so much that she could be the pampered and cared-for heroine in the scene.

It was obvious that Lu Jingting’s original blind date was me!

Her conditions are much better than Lin Xiaoxue's, so how could she be snatched away like this?

Lin Xiaoxue must have used some despicable means to seduce Lu Jingting!

Liu Cuihua thought with gritted teeth.

just wait.

She secretly vowed to expose Lin Xiaoxue's true fickle nature.

Find an opportunity to tell Lu Jingting that his wife is two-timing and they will definitely get divorced!

When she imagined that scene, she felt like she could take his place, and Liu Cuihua felt her whole body boiling with excitement.
