Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Tao Dayong had doted on Shi Fang ever since they got married. However, Shi Fang was not delicate and wanted to treat her husband well in return, even though he felt sorry for her.
Shi Fang insisted on helping Tao Dayong, so he could only nod. His eyes were affectionate when he lowered his head to look at her. Shi Feng smiled when she met her husband’s gaze.
Tao Dayong loved seeing his wife’s sweet smile. They always looked out for each other as they worked, even if they did not talk much.
Miss Li was happy that her son and daughter-in-law had a good relationship.
She was delighted to have a daughter-in-law like Shi Fang. The latter even helped the family make noodles during the New Year.
Although Miss Li did not want Shi Fang to overwork, the latter was sensible and considerate. Of course, Tao Dayong enjoyed cooking his wife’s favorite food for her.
Miss Li would be willing to work more if her son and daughter-in-law lived harmoniously. After all, one would always be in a good mood if one’s home was warm and inviting.
Miss Li thought she should cook more so her daughter-in-law could relax. However, Tao Dayong doted on his wife, so Miss Li did not have to worry about that.
After tidying the workshop, the family returned home to sleep. Upon reaching home, Shi Fang realized the brick bed was still warm. She knew her mother-in-law must have helped her warm the bed just now.
At that moment, Miss Li called Shi Fang.
“Yes, what is it, Mother-in-law?”
“Come and eat this.” Miss Li handed a bowl of chicken soup to Shi Fang.
The latter said, “Mother-in-law, I already had dinner. Why don’t you eat it instead?”
Miss Li said, “You had dinner in the evening, but it’s late now. You’ve been busy all night, so you must be hungry. I just stewed this, so it’s still hot and fresh.’
She thought her daughter-in-law was too thin. Her heart ached for Shi Fang, so she wanted to nourish her more.
“Mother-in-law, I—
“Hurry up and eat, Shi Fang. You’ll disappoint me if you refuse,” Miss Li feigned anger.
Shi Fang felt her mother-in-law was too good to her. She looked at Tao Dayong, who said, “You should eat what my mother cooks. She won’t let it go until you eat.”
Shi Fang nodded. “Thank you, Mother-in-law.”
“You don’t have to thank me. You’re one of us now that you’re married to
Dayong. You must eat and sleep well, okay?”
Miss Li chuckled while returning to her room. She remembered their troubled life and thought of how good Shi Fang was toward Tao Dayong. Therefore, Miss Li was willing to treat Shi Fang well.
The two returned to their room with the warm and fragrant chicken soup. Indeed, Shi Fang had grown hungry after working so late. However, she did not expect her mother-in-law to make her a late-night snack.
Shi Fang asked apologetically, “You guys hadn’t eaten since dinner, right?” Tao Dayong stroked her hair and said, “It’s okay. My mother made that for you. It’ll be a waste if you don’t eat it.”
Shi Fang nodded and did not argue. She sipped the soup and said, “It’s delicious.’
Tao Dayong smiled. “It’s good, right? Finish it, okay?”
Shi Fang nodded, then offered some to her husband. “Here, have some.”
“I’m not hungry, dear,” Tao Dayong waved. Plenty of chicken was in the bowl, and he wanted his wife to eat more. Although the family’s living conditions improved, they saved plenty of money and bought good food.
Tao Dayong felt Shi Fang was happier than he was. After being with her for a while, he understood what love was. Just looking at his wife made him feel better.
Even Tao Eryong pointed out how much his big brother smiled. Tao Dayong had seldom smiled in the past and always looked severe. However, he had always smiled since getting married to Shi Fang.
Tao Eryong knew his big brother was happy because of Shi Fang.
Shi Fang insisted, “Share it with me. I won’t eat if you don’t eat.”
She knew her husband would not eat if she did not say that. Tao Dayong could only eat the chicken soup that his wife offered. The two ate together, creating a sweet and warm atmosphere.
Before dawn the following day, the Su Teng villagers lit candles and oil lamps. They woke up early for work. Many wore new clothes for the New Year but were reluctant to wear them during the first month. They were just waiting to wear their new clothes when they started work. “A month has already passed.”
“Let’s have a good breakfast and go to work early.”
“Don’t worry, Father and Mother, I’ll be at work on time.”
Lin Chai and Miss He woke up early that day. Lin Chai worked in the winery, and Miss He worked in the embroidery shop. The couple had breakfast and prepared to leave for work.
Although they were awake, they did not want to wake their children. Still, Lin
Shu woke up early. “Father, Mother, I’ll make breakfast for you.”
Miss He asked, “Why are you up so early? Sleep a little more. We’ll wake you up when we finish cooking.”
Lin Shu said, “I’m going to study today and can’t be late.”
Even so, he would not be late. He only woke up early because he was excited to return to studying.
Miss He saw how energetic her son was. She said smilingly, “Okav, wash up and pack your bag.”
“Okay, Mother.” Lin Shu moved swiftly. He washed his face, wiped it, and then packed his things. Although he had packed last night, he checked to see if he had forgotten anything.
Lin Shu was meticulous when doing things. He continued to study medicine, even during the holidays. After all, Su Wenxiu said Lin Shu had to keep learning if he wanted to be a good doctor someday.
Lin Shu wanted to be like Su Wenxiu and Su Binglan, who could cure and help many people. Lin Shu thanked Su Binglan and Su Wenxiu for teaching him everything they knew.
Lin Chuan stopped stuttering, and Miss He’s health improved thanks to Su Binglan. When the couple recovered, they could take better care of their children.
Moreover, they earned a lot of money working for the Su family. The family could eat and sleep well now because of the couple’s hard work. Lin Shu used to wake up in the middle of the night because he was worried about his parents.
He now felt more relaxed and could sleep deeply. When he woke up, his parents would have already prepared breakfast.
Furthermore, they did not just cook porridge. Instead, they also made fried dumplings, eggs, and vegetable balls..
