After escaping from famine, the evil stepmother was pampered by the villain Zaizai Tuan

Jiang Yuanheng said, "Yeah, I'm actually quite looking forward to what it will be like when my mother and Lady Jiang meet."

He looked above his head and grinned.

I thought to myself, when two strong women meet, do they cherish each other or refuse to give in to each other?

That scene must be quite interesting!

Chen Sheng, however, interpreted Jiang Yuanheng's smile as expectation.

Could it be that Jiang Yuanheng really wanted to marry Jiang Xiaohua, and it was time to meet his parents?

His eyes dimmed and he said numbly, "I advise Brother Jiang not to be too optimistic."

Jiang Yuanheng turned around in confusion, "Why can't we be optimistic?"

Chen Sheng said, "I'm worried,"

"With your Jiang family's status, I'm afraid your mother will be very picky about Mrs. Jiang."

Jiang Yuanheng could see that Chen Sheng was a little unhappy, but he hadn't recovered yet.

Still smiling, he said, "Actually, I'm not sure that the two of them will be able to see each other as before."

"However, I believe Lady Jiang can handle it well!"

"What?" Chen Sheng looked at Jiang Yuanheng and said angrily, "You want to leave everything to Mrs. Jiang?"

"Brother Jiang, I know that Mrs. Jiang is an unparalleled good woman in the world."

"But the more this happens, the less you can let her get hurt."

Jiang Yuanheng noticed something was wrong, "What, what is hurt?"

Chen Sheng exhaled heavily and said with a cold face, "Brother Jiang, you must pretend to be confused."

"Then I can only say it clearly."

"After all, Mrs. Jiang has been married before, and she also has four children from her husband's family."

"In our eyes, she is the best woman, but in the eyes of your father, that may not be the case."

"Since ancient times, the conflict between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law has been the most difficult to resolve."

"As a young man, if you can't persuade your mother, you might as well..."

"Wait!" Jiang Yuanheng raised his hand to interrupt.

He frowned and paused for a moment, finally understanding it completely.

"Brother Chen, you don't think I have any thoughts about Lady Jiang, do you?"

Chen Sheng's heart was as cold as death at this moment, "Didn't she already promise you to meet your mother during the Chinese New Year?"

Although he didn't quite agree with Jiang Yuanheng's approach.

But his friend's wife could not be played with, and his longing for Lady Jiang could only be buried deep in his heart.

But Jiang Yuanheng suddenly slapped his thigh and laughed loudly.

Chen Sheng was slightly surprised, then looked at him with a frown.

Until Jiang Yuanheng laughed enough and stopped.

He gasped, "Ouch," while wiping the tears of laughter from his eyes.

"This is a huge misunderstanding!"

"Brother Chen, how can it be possible for Madam Jiang and I!"

Chen Sheng was startled, "Isn't it between you and her..."

Jiang Yuanheng's expression was upright, as if he was waiting for an interview at the Golden Palace.

"There is no difference between me and Mrs. Jiang, or between me and Brother Chen."

"They are all brothers who have known each other by fate!"

He continued to explain with a smile, "As for Mrs. Jiang's meeting with my mother."

"Brother Chen doesn't know that the workshop was originally owned by my mother."

"Now I own the workshop and give it to Mrs. Jiang. My mother will receive dividends from Mrs. Jiang every year."

"So the two of them are partners,"

Chen Sheng was too embarrassed to raise his head and said, "I'm sorry, I misunderstood."

He regretted, went crazy, and roared in his heart: How could one judge that someone's mother and Madam Jiang were married just because they were about to meet? Chen Sheng, Chen Sheng, I think you are really confused!

Jiang Yuanheng hooked Chen Sheng's shoulders and said with a smile, "I didn't expect that a person like Brother Chen, who has a noble nature and seems to be indifferent to the world, would also be such a gossip."

Jiang Yuanheng slapped him hard and praised, "I like Brother Chen better now! He's more humane!"

Chen Sheng smiled bitterly.

He wanted to explain that he didn't care about other people's private affairs, but about Jiang Xiaohua.

But after a second thought, Chen Sheng's mood brightened again.

Just like the bright moon rising from the clouds, the clouds are lifted to reveal the sun.

As long as Jiang Xiaohua and Jiang Yuanheng are not romantically involved, it is the best news for him.

Thinking of this, Chen Sheng was even a little excited, and his cold eyes were full of smiles.

Jiang Yuanheng rolled his eyes and said with a sly look, "Since Brother Chen also likes to hear gossip."

"I have something else to do here. Actually, Mrs. Jiang..."

At this moment, the carriage slowly stopped in front of Chaifei Gate.

The coachman said outside, "Mr. Chen's residence has arrived."

Chen Sheng stood up impatiently, smiled and said goodbye to Jiang Yuanheng.

"Thank you Brother Jiang for sending me back,"

"During the Chinese New Year, I look forward to seeing Brother Jiang again."

Jiang Yuanheng held his hands in confusion, "Oh, oh, definitely!"

After Chen Sheng got out of the car and the carriage restarted, Jiang Yuanheng said to himself in confusion:

"I haven't finished telling him the gossip between Madam Jiang and Brother Li."

"I don't know what he is worried about!"

He smiled and shook his head, "Forget it, let's talk about it next time we meet."

On New Year's Eve, it started to snow lightly in the evening.

Jiang Xiaohua's family sat around the stove and prepared dinner together.

The dust sweeping activity was completed yesterday.

The whole family has been busy since getting up early today.

Today Li Yuanzhi took the children to write Spring Festival couplets together.

Except for the couplets on the door, which are related to the appearance of the whole family, they were all created by Li Yuanzhi, the most knowledgeable person.

The rest of the banners with big and small blessing characters and small characters with auspicious words were left to the four little ones to play freely.

Then there’s cutting the window grilles and preparing food for tonight.

When it's time to light the lamp, all kinds of dishes have been prepared, leaving only the staple food.

Jiang Xiaohua used turmeric powder, dried gray strips of cabbage, carrots and isatis root to make glutinous rice dumplings in four colors.

Yellow, green, orange-red, blue-violet.

There are four kinds of fillings, sweet and salty.

Sweet ones include black sesame and lotus root powder, walnut and hawthorn.

The salty ones include sauce-flavored fresh meat, crab powder and shrimp meat.

Xiao Miaomiao raised her two clean hands and asked, "Mother, what is Fu Yuanzi?"

Jiang Xiaohua thought for a while and said, "It's just a round dumpling with fillings wrapped in glutinous rice skin."

"I'm going to teach you how to wrap it up."

Liu Guang answered, "Isn't that just another kind of dumpling?"

Li Yuanzhi said, "You can say that, but the tastes still have their own differences."

Liu Ming asked, "Fu Yuanzi should be the flavor of Mr. Li's hometown, right?"

Li Yuanzhi smiled and nodded, "When I celebrate New Year's Eve at home, the last staple food must be this fuyuanzi."

"But it's not as ingenious as Mrs. Ginger's creation of four colors and four flavors."

He said, looking at Jiang Xiaohua with deep eyes.

Jiang Xiaohua did not shy away from it and admitted generously, "I did this just to satisfy Mr. Li's homesickness."

"As for us, we just want to try it out."

Li Yuanzhi smiled and said, "Then I will eat two more bowls later."

Jiang Xiaohua looked at him and smiled, and then said to Liu Yong, "Let's pack more."

"Cover it with a damp cloth and cook some more tomorrow morning."

"You and Ming'er will give it to Old Master Ouyang to try, and also give him New Year greetings."
