After the replacement of the military officer, the soft stepmother won

"Jingchuan, look what a good wife you married." Aunt Lu praised, "With such a good wife, you must cherish her and love her well."

"Don't worry, everyone. I will take good care of Lili." Lu Jingchuan looked at Shen Li deeply and promised solemnly word by word.

A thin blush spread across Shen Li's porcelain-white face.

"I was so busy talking that I almost forgot about the important matter." Mother Lu stood up quickly and said, "I'm going to the kitchen to cook."

"Mom, let me help you." Shen Li was about to stand up.

"Hey, how can I let you, my daughter-in-law, be so busy? You just sit in the living room and chat with everyone." Mother Lu quickly pushed Shen Li down.

"Xiao Li, do you like sweet or salty food? Or sour or spicy?"

"I can do it."

"Then do you have any dietary restrictions? Do you eat onions, ginger, garlic, and cilantro?"

"I can eat anything. I don't mind eating anything."

"Is that so? Then what flavor do you prefer?" Lu's mother asked anxiously.

"Hmm...I want something slightly spicy, is that ok?"

"Of course, just wait, I'll go to the kitchen and make you some of my signature dishes!" Mother Lu said with a smile, and then she walked quickly towards the kitchen.

Lu Jingchuan's aunt and eldest aunt also went to the kitchen to help and were busy.

Father Lu brought over a tray with a set of tea sets, freshly squeezed orange juice, and a fruit platter on it. "Xiao Li, I don't know if you prefer tea or juice. I've brought them all."

"I just cut a fruit platter, take a look and see if there's anything you like."

"Thank you, Dad." Shen Li's eyes felt slightly warm.

"We are all family, there is no need to be polite." Father Lu smiled kindly.

"Sister-in-law, I have never eaten many meals cooked by my mother since I was a child!" Lu Yinglang said sourly, "She really loves you and big brother. As for me, I am benefiting from you two today."

"You little rascal, when you find another one, you can also have a meal cooked by your mother!" Father Lu glared at Lu Yinglang.

Lu Yinglang smiled playfully, "As for me, I've been busy with my career lately. I haven't found anyone suitable. If I find someone I like, I will definitely bring her home!"

"I don't know what kind of woman you like." Father Lu glanced at him helplessly.

Father Lu's eyes fell on Shen Li, "Xiao Li, Jing Chuan wrote to us before and told us everything that happened on the island."

"Uh-huh."

"We originally thought that Jingchuan, a grown man, would not be able to take care of the two children, so we asked Li Cuicui to go to the island to help... We thought that Li Cuicui's father was our family's driver, and Li Cuicui and Jingchuan grew up together. I thought everyone knew each other well, and if she stayed with Jingchuan, she would be able to be taken care of by her family. I didn't expect that it would cause you so much trouble..." Father Lu said guiltily, "We have also fired Li Cuicui's father."

"Xiao Li, this matter is all our fault for not thinking it through."

"Dad, you've done a good job," Shen Li smiled, "It was Li Cuicui who had evil intentions, it has nothing to do with you."

"It's a good thing that you, Xiaoli, discovered Li Cuicui's true face early on! Otherwise Jingchuan would still be kept in the dark, and the two children would still be abused!" Father Lu said with great sorrow.

"I will take care of the two children from now on, and this kind of thing will never happen again." Shen Li comforted.

"It's a blessing for our Lu family to marry you!" Father Lu's eyes were filled with tears, "Xiao Li, now that Jingchuan has you, we can rest assured!"

Shen Li smiled softly with her lips curved.

In my previous life, whether before or after marriage, I had never felt the warmth of home.

However, Lu Jingchuan's family was considerate and caring towards her. Such a harmonious and warm family atmosphere was something she had never experienced before.

Only when she arrived at Lu Jingchuan's home did she feel the warmth of home.

Such a family atmosphere is really nice.

……

When Lu Jingchuan passed by the kitchen, he was called over by Lu's mother.

Mother Lu was wearing an apron and was cooking while whispering, "Jingchuan, your daughter-in-law looks like a good girl who can make a living."

"Yeah." Lu Jingchuan's stern face softened a little.

"With such a good daughter-in-law, when do you plan to have a child?" Mother Lu whispered.

Jingchuan was already an adult, but he had never found a partner, which made his whole family very anxious. In addition, when Jingchuan had two children, the whole family became even more discouraged and felt that there was no hope for him to find a partner.

After all, who wants to be a stepmother to someone else's child?

But unexpectedly, Jingchuan actually found it!

Jingchuan told them in the letter he sent to the Northwest how good Shen Li was to children and how many good things Shen Li was like as a person. They had never seen Jingchuan praise anyone in most of their lives, which showed that Shen Li was a very good girl.

It is Jingchuan’s blessing to marry such a good girl!

Lu Jingchuan was silent, with some complexity in his dark eyes.

"I know those two orphans of martyrs are very important to you and you want to be responsible for them. I know you are a good man with a sense of responsibility, but you also have to have a child of your own, right? Even if you don't think about yourself, you have to think about Shen Li! She follows you at such a young age. How can you raise someone else's children without having your own children?" said Mother Lu, frowning.

"We don't want children in the short term. As for when to have them, we'll talk about it later." Lu Jingchuan pursed his lips and said.

"That's good. The more children we have, the more lively the home will be. I'm looking forward to the birth of my grandson. Of course, a granddaughter would be great too." Mother Lu skillfully placed the dishes on the tray, and my aunt and eldest aunt each carried a plate and walked towards the dining room.

"There's no rush to have a baby." Lu Jingchuan said in a deep voice, "Let's talk about the future later."

……

Soon, a large table of dishes filled the table.

On the table there were spicy fried chicken, braised rabbit head, braised lion head, sauce-flavored lamb chops, braised beef, yam ribs, roasted whole lamb... a table full of dishes, each one of them was so delicious that it made people salivate.

"Xiao Li, try this braised beef." Mother Lu used a serving chopstick to pick up a piece of beef and passed it to the bowl in front of Shen Li. "In our northwest, although the resources are poor, the animal husbandry is well developed! This time when he returned to Beijing, your father specially brought some braised food from there! Try it and see if it tastes good!"

Shen Li tasted a piece of it with chopsticks, and her eyes lit up, "Mm, it's delicious, thank you, Mom and Dad!"

The beef and mutton of this era are all pure meat, unlike the beef and mutton in the future that are fed with hormones and artificially synthesized.

The meat has a very rich taste, it is very chewy when you bite it, and the marinade is very rich. This kind of meat will taste good even without any seasoning.

"Try this mutton." Lu Jingchuan picked up a piece of mutton with chopsticks and put it into Shen Li's small bowl.

Soon, the meat in Shen Li's bowl piled up as high as a small mountain.

"Please stop serving food to me. I really can't eat any more." Shen Li smiled helplessly.
