Everyone sat and chatted again. Time passed quickly and it was time for dinner.
Mr. He wanted to cook in person and entertain the He family, but Mrs. He stopped her.
"Feng'er, you are still the same as when you were a child. You always like to go to the kitchen and mess around. Several cooks in the house were afraid of you before."
"You like to mess around with food, and Mom won't stop you, but today, please stay with Mom and talk more, so that Mom can understand what you've been through over the years, okay?"
"Just let the maids and women brought by mother do the cooking."
He couldn't resist Mrs. He, so he just let them go, while he continued to talk with Mrs. He.
He Xue couldn't sit still, her eyes kept turning, looking at the Lu family's house for a while, and then looking at Mr. He and Father Lu.
The more she looked at it, the more disdainful she felt. She felt that the Lu family was too poor. The Lu family were all a bunch of losers. Compared with her husband Shen Yuan, they were far behind!
Moreover, a house like the Lu family is actually considered good in the village. If it were in Fucheng...
She couldn't sit still anymore and was about to get up and go out for a walk when she heard her mother say to He Feng: "Feng'er, it's all my fault that my parents didn't take good care of you at that time, so you were kidnapped by the gangsters."
He Xue's heart tightened and she sat back again, wondering why her mother mentioned what happened back then?
You know, that incident back then, but she...
She immediately became panicked, but after hearing He's words, it disappeared in a flash.
I saw He said: "Mom, what happened back then? Why was I kidnapped by the gangsters? My memory of those years seems to be blank, I can't remember anything."
When He met his father and mother, he lost his memory. Apart from remembering that he was called Feng'er, he couldn't remember anything else.
After so many years, she still couldn't remember a single thing from the past.
Father Lu also took her to see a doctor before. The doctor said that He might have hit her head, which caused her amnesia.
Hearing this, Mrs. He let out a long sigh and looked at Mr. He, her eyes full of heartache.
A hint of joy flashed across He Xue's face.
It's better that her cheap sister has lost her memory, so she doesn't have to worry.
Thinking of this, she breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Feng'er, during the Lantern Festival that year, my parents took us out to play, and the gangster took you away while our parents weren't paying attention."
Mrs. He's face was full of guilt: "Feng'er, it's all my fault. If my mother had held your hand that day, you wouldn't have been kidnapped by the gangsters."
This statement is the same as what Mr. He said before.
Hearing this, Mrs. He comforted Mrs. He and said, "Don't be like this. Look, don't I live a good life now? Blessings come from disasters, and misfortunes come from blessings. Maybe I am also getting a blessing in disguise?"
"I met my child's father and gave birth to several well-behaved and sensible children. Look, isn't this also very happy?"
After hearing this, Mrs. He thought about it and it seemed to make sense.
However, the Lu family is really too poor!
Her daughter shouldn't have to live such a hard life!
Mrs. He thought for a moment and then asked tentatively: "Feng'er, how about you and my uncle take the children and your mother and you go back to Fucheng?"
When He Xue heard this, her heart was in her throat again, and she stared at He without blinking for a moment, for fear that she would agree.
However, Mr. He smiled and shook his head and explained: "As you know, Jianchuan is going to take the provincial examination in August. Now, you can't be careless in preparing for the examination."
"Jianchuan's wife is a month old, and she can't travel in a carriage. Someone at home must take care of her."
"Also, we bought a shop in the county town before, and we are going to open it for business in a few days. There are so many things at home that require me to be busy, and I really can't go to the capital."
When He Xue heard this, she felt completely relieved.
Mrs. He felt even more distressed. Her Feng'er actually had to take care of so many things at home. Isn't she tired?
"Feng'er, can Mom arrange some maids and women around you? You can just ask them to do these things from now on. It's time for you to take a rest."
But He shook his head: "The place at home is small and there is no room for so many people. Besides, I am not tired. Only when I am busy with these things do I feel that my life is fulfilling every day."
"The matters related to Jianchuan's wife cannot be left to others' hands. I am used to doing it myself."
Seeing her repeated evasions, Mrs. He temporarily gave up the idea of arranging some reliable maids and women around her.
However, she had already thought about letting her grandson Lu Jianchuan live at home when he went to Fucheng to take the provincial examination.
The family has always kept the big courtyard where Feng'er lived before, just to wait until she comes home and have a place to live.
That big courtyard is more than enough for Feng'er and the Lu family.
By the time the mother-in-law had cooked the meal and everyone had eaten, the sky was getting dark.
Seeing that the He family showed no signs of leaving, Mrs. He understood that they wanted to stay overnight, so she quickly went to clean up a few rooms, one for Mrs. He and Mr. He, one for He Xue and He Xinning, and several rooms they brought with them. A room for the maid and mother-in-law.
Wu Feng, who was beside Mr. He, lived alone in Lu Jianan's room.
Lu Jian'an went to squeeze in with Mr. He and Mr. Lu.
After the arrangements were made, the He family took a carriage ride for a long time in Japan. They were very tired. After a brief wash, they all fell asleep.
Early the next morning, Mr. He woke up and cooked the steamed buns himself.
When Mrs. He woke up, the table in the main room was already filled with various kinds of steamed buns.
"Feng'er, did you make these?" Mrs. He pointed at the buns on the table and asked with a surprised look on her face.
When my daughter was little, she loved to play with food, and her favorite thing was making steamed buns. However, back then, she was best at making the simplest bun shapes, but now, there are weird and various shapes of buns!
He smiled and nodded, inviting her to have breakfast: "Please try it quickly to see if it tastes good."
Mrs. He picked up one of them, took a small bite, and found that it was filled with red bean paste. It was sweet but not greasy, soft and glutinous red bean paste, and the texture was very delicious.
Mrs. He ate the porridge, finished one, and then picked up the second one.
The second one was stuffed with three delicacies. The bun was soft, fragrant and not tiring, which made Mrs. He want to eat it even after finishing it.
Mr. He on the other side has already eaten four!
"Well, Feng'er, your buns are so delicious! You really deserve to be my He's daughter! She's amazing!"
Mr. He's unstinting praise made Mr. He a little embarrassed.
Her daughter-in-law Yun Xi told her about the fillings for these steamed buns. She tried adjusting the fillings again, but she didn’t expect that the result would be so delicious!
To be honest, a lot of credit goes to Yunxi!
However, Gu Yunxi just smiled at this time, and she was not considered an original creator.
These fillings were all ones she had eaten in her previous life. She told her mother-in-law, and she actually made the fillings.
My mother-in-law is the truly talented person!
