Siheyuan: The farm in my mind is in your hands.

When Chen's mother saw that her daughter-in-law didn't seem to hate the child, she finally felt relieved.

After the group entered the private room, Chen Jianghe introduced them again.

After both parties sat down and exchanged greetings for a while, the food began to be served.

They were lucky, as they had both meat and vegetarian options this week.

However, Chen Jianghe felt a little strange because of the way Lou Tan looked at Chen's mother from time to time.

My mother just looks a little thinner. Although her clothes are not made of high-quality fabric, they are ready-made clothes that she bought at the train station yesterday.

Why does this mother-in-law look like she wants to say something but hesitates?

……

Soon the table was filled with dishes.

During this special period, although the ingredients are not delicacies from land and sea, they are still very good in terms of color, aroma and taste.

The chef level of Fengzeyuan is indeed top-notch in the industry!

The simplest plain tofu is cut into thin strips, and the tofu remains solid when picked up, and is tender and smooth when eaten.

The waiter said this was a traditional specialty of Fengze Garden, Wensi Tofu.

This dish is what Mr. Lou likes the most. It looks pure and innocent, just like his attitude towards life.

At this time, I also helped introduce:

"Wensi tofu is the most challenging part for a chef. It is said that a skilled chef can cut tofu into shreds with just a kitchen knife, and the shreds are so thin that they can pass through the hole of a pin!"

The dish on their table was still a little short of being able to be threaded together, but that was just a legend after all.

It may also be that the pinhole in ancient times was larger than it is now!

After three rounds of wine and five kinds of dishes, everyone was in high spirits and no longer so reserved.

Finally, Lou Tan couldn't hold back her words:

"Mother-in-law, have we met somewhere before?"

Lou Xiao'e, who was picking up food for Xiao Duoduo, couldn't help but feel curious when she heard her mother say this.

"Mom, when did you meet my mother-in-law?"

In her impression, her mother never liked to go out, and even if she went out, she would make appointments with other ladies in advance.

Moreover, the places they went to were either high-end silk shops or tea and snack shops, so how could they have possibly met their mother-in-law?

Lou Xiao'e had a pretty good understanding of her original family. The places where rich people went were not on the same level as the places where the people in the Siheyuan went.

Of course, she is married to Chen Jianghe now.

I will also live in a courtyard house in the future, but this will not affect my knowledge.

"It's been so long, I'm not really sure."

Lou Tan's memory is still very good, but the mother Chen in front of her is a little different from the one in her memory.

"It seems to be at a snack exhibition. There are sachima, honey cake, almond dry food, flavored moon cakes..."

Well, Lou Tan was already recalling the grand occasion of participating in the new dim sum exhibition that year.

"Gudong~"

Xiao Duoduo swallowed quietly. It sounded like there were so many delicious foods.

Mother Chen interrupted her mother-in-law with a smile. She knew that she was waiting for her confirmation.

"Zhengmingzhai's popular cakes include hard-crusted, fried, crispy, cake, and sugar-crusted cakes, but there are more types of pastries. The ones you just mentioned are just some of the more popular ones."

"Zhengmingzhai? What are you talking about, Mom?" This time Chen Jianghe was also a little confused.

The mother-in-law and her mother were playing charades here, making it difficult for these outsiders.

The main reason is that other people don’t know much about food. There is only one foodie named Duoduo, but the child is still young and definitely doesn’t know what the two adults are talking about.

"Uncle, Duoduo knows."

Seeing that her uncle didn't know what her grandma said, Duoduo acted as a translator.

"Zhengmingzhai is my grandma's dim sum shop. There are so many delicious foods in it."

"Duoduo has never eaten any of the snacks that grandma mentioned just now..."

Well, the child still wants to eat.

However, this provided explosive news that even Chen Jianghe and Lou Xiaoe did not know.

"Mom, are you really the successor of Zhengmingzhai? That's impossible..."

If that's true, then wouldn't I be the young master?

It's over! Now we are cracking down on the petty bourgeoisie, and we have no good days.

"That's all in the past."

Chen's mother didn't think too much about it. Whether to pass on the family business or not, the best outcome was that the family lived well.

Indeed, the shop of Zhengmingzhai has now been nationalized and is nominally rented.

Who knows whether it will still be considered private property in the later stage.

Lou Zhenhua, who was present at the event, had the most experience with this situation!

After donating his family's machinery factory, he is still a nominal shareholder!

"It's really you! I was saying it was very familiar."

Lou Tan's guess was confirmed, and she couldn't help feeling a little proud. She was still very confident in her eyes.

The mother-in-law in front of him was none other than Sun Hemin, the daughter of Sun Qiren, the previous head of Zhengmingzhai. However, it was said that she eloped with a man a few years ago.

In that era, elopement was considered shameful, so the Sun family kept silent about it.

Back then, Chen's mother was also a lady from a wealthy family, so it was natural for her to know a noble lady like Lou Tan.

"Time flies so fast. I didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, our children have grown up so much." Mother Chen sighed.

What’s even more coincidental is that their children are actually married.

This God-given fate cannot be avoided.

“By the way, I heard that after the Sun family shop was expropriated, the ancestral home was left behind,” said Lou Zhenhua.

His family was considered wealthy, but after the factory was turned over to them, their house was still left for them to live in.

He thought that since the Sun family still had real estate, there was no need for the whole family to squeeze into two rooms in the courtyard.

Moreover.

The two young masters of the Sun family were uneducated and unskilled in their early years, and they also had the bad habit of swallowing large amounts of alcohol, which ruined their health at an early age, and they didn't even leave any descendants.

So, after all the twists and turns, the Sun family's assets finally ended up in Chen Jianghe's hands.

"Before I went to Huating County, my father did ask someone to find me."

"But I was worried about Xiaoman's condition at the time, and Jianghe was not very capable, so I didn't reply to the message."

Thinking about it now, Chen's mother feels a little regretful. If it wasn't for the family property, it would be reasonable for her to just see her father.

"It's only the children who are wrong, not the elderly who are wrong," Lou Zhenhua continued.

Chen Jianghe felt numb after hearing this.

Isn't this the catchphrase of an old man?!

Could it be that his father-in-law has the same idea as Yi Zhonghai and wants to find someone to take care of him in his old age?

But they don't have any children. You have a daughter, why are you following this trend...
