Chapter 630: Chapter 630: It’s Worth it, Didn’t Live in Vain
Tong Sanlang was also carrying a bundle of items into the courtyard. Hearing Qiao Xiaomai’s words, he broke into a grin, “That’s right, Mother. Don’t worry, step boldly inside. Xiaomai and I will handle anything that cos our way.”
At his reassurance, a sowhat embarrassed smile appeared on Zhuang Lühe’s face. She pressed her lips together and stepped in through the gate.
“Dami, tell Mother what all these things in the courtyard are,” Qiao Xiaomai called out to Qiao Dami, who had already run into the house.
Qiao Dami responded loudly to her call and ca back out imdiately.
He held up a set of clothes similar to what Zhuang Lühe was wearing, “Mother, look, we can now afford to wear these fine clothes!”
Zhuang Lühe gazed at the clothing in his hands, then reached out and ruffled his hair, “Then put it on quickly so I can see how you look.”
Qiao Dami chid out a loud acknowledgnt. He began stripping off his clothes right there in the courtyard.
Since it was sumr and clothing was light, his plump little body was revealed.
Compared to his previous slimness, he now resembled a New Year’s painting of a chubby child, his round body incredibly endearing.
Zhuang Lühe watched him, a mix of guilt and joy in her eyes. She picked up the clothing and carefully dressed Qiao Dami.
Afterward, Qiao Dami placed his discarded clothes on the table. He took Zhuang Lühe’s hand and began introducing all the things in the house. The items that Yang Ye had brought were worth a careful look each.
Qiao Changshun joined them after a while. He didn’t say anything, but simply followed behind mother and son with a smile on his face.
While Qiao Xiaomai and Tong Sanlang tidied up and began to prepare dinner.
Although they had enjoyed a fine al at Extre Flavors, it sohow felt incomplete without her Spiritual Spring water.
Consequently, the ti passed quickly, and soon, it was evening.
Qiao Xiaomai and Tong Sanlang prepared ten dishes and set the table, calling the others over for dinner.
Upon hearing the announcent, Qiao Dami grabbed Zhuang Lühe’s hand and ran toward the well, “Mother, hurry and wash your hands. The food that Sis made slls so good!”
And it was the food that Qiao Xiaomai made that made him plump!
Hearing this, Zhuang Lühe felt a hint of anticipation. There had been an array of tantalizing aromas thickly encircling the kitchen, even more appealing than the dishes at Extre Flavors.
She sat at the table, and on tasting Qiao Xiaomai’s cooking, an expression of astonishnt spread involuntarily across her face.
Qiao Xiaomai’s culinary skill had catapulted forward; it was as if it had sprouted wings, leaving behind all bounds of the ground in one mighty swoop.
No wonder she could sell her dishes individually and even cook for the retired Emperor.
These culinary skills easily justified their current wealth.
“Mother, taste this soup, it’s delicious,” Qiao Xiaomai ladled a bowl of chicken soup for Zhuang Lühe.
“Try this pork trotter, it’s also good,” Qiao Changshun offered her a braised pork trotter.
“This is delicious too!” Not to be left behind, Qiao Dami held up a mouthwatering piece of sweet and sour ribs.
Seeing all this, Tong Sanlang smiled. Raising his chopsticks, he selected a couple of cucumber slices, “We should have sothing light as well.”
Zhuang Lühe looked down at the food before her, pressing her lips together as she struggled to hold back tears that welled in her eyes.
It wasn’t in vain, it wasn’t all in vain.
Tong Sanlang was right. If the troubles she’d endured in the past were for this mont, then she’d still gladly accept them, no matter how painful they were.
With such wonderful children and husband, what else could she wish for in this life?
It was worth it. It was worth it to keep going!
[The next ti Zhuang Lühe ets the Sun Family, things will change!]
