211 Excellent Relationship
However, Su Wenzhe was not the only one who felt that way. Liu Yinyin was also curious about what her sister-in-law cooked.
The fragrance was different from before, but they still thought Su Binglan’s cooking would be delicious. Moreover, she could constantly develop new delicacies, filling others with anticipation.
Su Wenxiu was cooking while his little sister watched the boiling pot and put in the dumplings because they had already waited a long time.
Su Wenzhe and the others had yet to return, so the family decided to cook a portion of the dumplings first. Afterward, they sent the finished dumplings to Su Fengzhi’s family, Old Master Su, Old Madam Su, and Su Fengchen.
Shen Qiuhua said, “Let’s put our portion of dumplings on a pan and cover them with a cloth. We’ll cook them when the others return.”
Su Binglan used a spoon to gently push the dumplings into the pot, saying, “Mother, you can rest first. The dumplings will be ready in a while.”
Shen Qiuhua could not bear to rest, even though her daughter advised her. She thought it would be better if she helped. At that moment, they heard voices coming from the outside.
Shen Qiuhua was handing her daughter a plate and did not have time to look outside. She asked, “Are they home?”
Su Wenxiu was putting more firewood into the stove when he heard the voices. He looked toward the entrance and exclaimed, “They’re home! Welcome home, guys!”
Luo Jin’an was the last to enter the house as he watched the two little ones step over the threshold. He was worried they would fall, so he carefully held Su Xuexuan’s hand and carried Su Xuehai in.
Su Wenxiu saw that. “Jin’an looks more like Xuexuan and Xuehai’s father. He’s even more caring than Big Brother and Sister-in-law.”
Su Wenzhe and Liu Yinyin felt they did not have to worry about anything with Luo Jin’an by their side.
Su Binglan’s heart almost beat out of her chest when she saw her husband. It was a strange feeling, and she did not understand why that happened.
Perhaps it was because she was gone for over a month and was looking forward to seeing Luo Jin’an again. After finally seeing her husband again, Su Binglan felt a sense of timidity. She could not explain her feelings.
Luo Jin’an looked into the house and saw his wife. He paused while carrying Su Xuehai, and Su Binglan even forgot to stir the pot of dumplings.
“Hey, hey, it’s Aunt Binglan!” Su Xuehai shouted happily, wanting to get down from Luo Jin’an’s arms to go to Su Binglan.
Su Xuehai’s voice brought Luo Jin’an back to his senses as he put the little one down and held Su Xuehai’s hand as they entered deeper into the house.
Su Binglan also returned to her senses and looked at the dumplings inside the pot, realizing she had almost overcooked them. She hurriedly scooped out the dumplings and put them on a plate. The dumplings look like little nuggets.
Su Wenzhe was the first to enter the house, saying, “What’s for dinner? I’ve never seen those before, but they look good. Did you develop another type of food, Little Sister?”
He wanted to reach out and take one, but Shen Qiuhua knew what her eldest son was thinking. She tapped his hand and said, “Those are for your grandparents and your uncle Fengzhi’s family. You can send these to them and come home to eat your portion.”
“B-But, I didn’t even do anything, Mother. I just wanted to look at them,” Su Wenzhe said frowningly.
Shen Qiuhua said smilingly, “Do you honestly believe I didn’t know what you were thinking? You’re getting increasingly spoiled.”
Still, she smiled because the family’s conditions had improved, and her eldest son had become much more lively. Su Wenxiu was dull and rarely spoke in the past.
Even Shen Qiuhua had changed a lot, considering how much she would nag. The whole family was in good spirits because their family’s conditions had gotten better.
Su Binglan was amused, saying, “Mother, get some plates. Then everyone can have a taste. We have plenty of dumplings, and we can send these to Grandpa, Grandma, Uncle Fengchen, and Uncle Fengzhi’s family.”
Shen Qiuhua said, “Your third uncle has his wife, sons, and grandson, so we need to give them more.”
Su Wenzhe said, “Can we try them now, Little Sister?”
Su Binglan handed her big brother the first plate of dumplings and said, “Give them to Xuexuan and Xuehai first. We have many more to cook later.”
As Su Binglan spoke, she also picked up one dumpling with her chopsticks and handed it over to Shen Qiuhua. “Here, try one, Mother.”
“Come on, let’s eat together.”
“Mother, let me give you a taste first.”
Shen Qiuhua was already curious about the dumplings. However, she wanted to eat alongside her family and thought there was no reason for her to eat first.
Still, Shen Qiuhua could not argue with Su Binglan since she had already placed the dumpling in front of her mouth. After taking a bite, Shen Qiuhua discovered its deliciousness, even though it was still a little hot.
The dumpling tasted incredible and differed from all the food she had eaten.
“What do you think, Mother?”
“Wow, it’s delicious!” Shen Qiuhua kept nodding her head.
Everyone knew the dumplings were delicious when they saw the look in Shen Qiuhua’s eyes. Next, Su Binglan picked up more dumplings and gave them to Su Fengmao and Su Wenxiu.
The two were excited to try them, too, and were full of praise.
“So, this is what dumplings taste like. It’s so unique.”
“This dumpling is great since it’s full to the brim with filling.”
Su Wenzhe looked at the others and quickly picked up the dumplings with his chopsticks. He blew on them and gave some to his sons. Then he gave one to his wife.
Liu Yinyin said, “Here, Jin’an. You should have some too.”
Su Wenzhe quickly approached Luo Jin’an with a plate as Luo Jin’an had just entered the kitchen. “Have some dumplings, Jin’an.”
Luo Jin’an calmly said, “You and Yinyin should eat first.”
Su Binglan brought a dumpling to her husband. “You can try it too,” she said gently.
At that moment, Luo Jin’an looked at his wife lovingly. “You should eat it since you haven’t had dinner yet.”
Su Binglan was so busy serving everyone that no one noticed that she had not tried the dumplings yet. However, Luo Jin’an did because he was always more observant than the others.
Su Binglan felt a warmth in her heart when she heard that. She smiled sweetly and said, “I’m fine. Many dumplings are still left, and they will be ready soon.” She put the dumpling into a bowl and gave Luo Jin’an a pair of chopsticks.
Luo Jin’an picked up the dumpling with his chopsticks, and Su Binglan expected him to eat it. However, Luo Jin’an handed the chopsticks to his wife, saying, “You should eat first.”
Although the couple was silent, they understood something from looking into each other’s eyes. Su Binglan felt a surge of warmth in her heart and wanted to say it was good to see her husband again.
Shen Qiuhua and the others were thrilled to see this scene. Naturally, she was happy to see the couple getting along.
Su Wenzhe picked up more dumplings and put them into Luo Jin’an’s bowl. “Here, now you both can have a taste.”
Su Binglan said, “Now we can eat them all.”
The couple ate the dumplings, and Su Binglan thought they tasted delicious. She could not figure out if it were a psychological thing, but she thought these dumplings were better than those she had eaten in the modern world.
She looked at her husband again and asked softly, “What do you think? Is it good?”
