Chapter 210: How come my son-in-law's cooking is so delicious?

'I must bring some back for Xiaochu and Mr. Wu later!'

Uncle Guang said with a smile as he put down the fruit.

Seeing the cherries, Wu Shuhui also pursed her lips and gave a faint smile.

Ji Pianran had liked cherries since she was a child. These imported cherries were large and had a good taste, but they were almost impossible to buy in the city. She had never expected Gu Chen to be willing to give his daughter-in-law such a treat.

It seemed that he must really like his daughter.

Ji Pianran held out her white, clean hand and gave her mother one, smiling at her, 'Mom, try it, it's really good.'

This was a new supply that Gu Chen had obtained, and its taste had already been praised by countless people.

When Tangtang saw that no one was giving her any, she immediately wriggled off her grandmother's lap with her little bottom, reached out her little hand and grabbed one from the bowl, and couldn't wait to take a bite.

The moment the sweet and sour juice entered her mouth, the little girl was finally satisfied.

She opened her mouth wide and beamed, 'Daddy's cherries are the best!'

Then she looked at her grandmother and said, 'Grandma, you can have some too.'

The little girl really liked this grandmother she had just met, and even when eating she had to remind her.

Wu Shuhui's heart felt as sweet as honey, and her tone was exceptionally gentle.

'Okay, okay, Grandma will eat, Grandma will eat,'

she said, taking a bite of the cherries her daughter handed her.

'By the way, a while ago, Dad bought a villa here. Do you and Gu Chen want to consider moving here to live with us?'

She spoke in a casual tone, but in fact, she had been thinking about this for a long time, she just didn't know how to bring it up.

Afterwards, she was afraid that her daughter might not want to, so she added, 'Or my mother can buy you another set, so you can live more comfortably.'

Although the small courtyard looked very clean and welcoming,

it was still a rural area. Not to mention anything else, just going to the bathroom involved quite a bit of walking, which was indeed troublesome.

She hoped that her daughter and granddaughter could live better.

Ji Bianran, however, thought that her mother was completely overthinking things, and she shook her head with a smile.

'No need. We're very happy here, really happy.'

Worried that her mother might not be convinced, she continued, 'Gu Chen has contracted a lot of land here. Not to mention anything else, if we go to the city, we'll probably have to walk back and forth every day. Besides, these neighbours are all very nice to me. It's actually quite nice being around them.'

Ji Pianran was talking about Auntie Zhang and Shen Cuilan and their spouses. If she really had to leave these people, she would really miss them.

In Ji Pianran's heart, this place has long been her home.

She loves it here.

'But...' Wu Shuhui is a little reluctant, she can't bear to let her daughter live in such conditions.

'Mom, I'm very happy here.'

Ji Pianran smiles serenely, and when she sees a little purple cherry juice on her daughter's pale face, she reaches out and gently wipes it away.

The little one's skin is firm and bouncy to the touch.

Tang Tang looked up and gave Ji Pianran a cheeky smile, 'Tang Tang is happy too!'

With her parents by her side, she was the happiest person in the world!

Wu Shuhui didn't say anything else. She knew that being able to find her daughter was already a great blessing, and she should be content.

Gu Chen came out with a smile, carrying a steaming bowl of tofu and carp stew and some stir-fried pork.

'Daughter-in-law, do you want to eat inside or out in the yard?'

It had been warm recently, and Gu Chen's family often ate in the courtyard, where the breeze was pleasant.

Ji Pianran blinked, 'Let's eat inside.'

After all, it was the first time that Uncle Guang and her mother had been to their home, and she still wanted it to be a bit more formal.

'Okay,'

Gu Chen said, smiling as she carried the dishes towards the house.

At this moment, Wu Shuhui could already smell the delicious aroma of the food.

The fish was cooked in a thick, white fish broth with a few pieces of tofu stewed in it. It looked juicy and tender, and best of all, it was topped with a little coriander and spring onions. The smell was so appetising, it was simply superb.

There was also the stir-fried pork, the green peppers in the dish looked as if they had been fried in oil, giving them a hint of the spiciness of paprika, and the beef had a spicy, numbing taste that sent the aroma up her nose.

These two simple dishes aroused an endless appetite.

She had never lacked for anything since she was a child, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that she had tried every delicacy in the world.

But this was the first time in all those years that she had been tempted by a dish.

She shook her head, thinking that she was just in a good mood because she had seen her daughter today.

Uncle Guang was also very hungry after this, and he swallowed, turning to Gu Chen and saying, 'By the way, isn't there also a dish of stir-fried lotus root and lettuce? I'll go and get it!'

He had good taste indeed. Not only was the boy talented in business, but his cooking was also superb.

Ever since he started cooking, he had felt his appetite growing.

It was unbearable.

He could no longer wait to taste Gu Chen's cooking.

Gu Chen saw Guang Shu heading towards the kitchen and followed suit. 'There's also ginseng and matsutake porridge, I'll go serve it!'

Ji Pianran had only been discharged from the hospital a few days ago. Although her body had recovered well, as her husband, Gu Chen still felt that she should recuperate more, and so should their daughter. After all, they had the means to do so, didn't they?

The two of them entered the kitchen and brought in the remaining two dishes, along with the life-restoring pine mushroom porridge, and placed them on the table.

The four adults, along with one child, then began to eat their lunch.

To be honest, Wu Shuhui couldn't help but feel distressed when she saw her daughter living in such circumstances.

After all, her daughter had grown up without any worries, born with a silver spoon in her mouth, and now she was living in such a place. Just looking at it made her heart ache.

Ji Pianran, on the other hand, didn't care at all. She smiled at Uncle Guang and her mother.

'Come on, eat. Gu Chen is a great cook.'

After saying that, she lowered her head and began eating the porridge in her bowl. Gu Chen made this porridge for herself every day, and it had become a staple.

But it really is delicious. The faint medicinal smell of ginseng is masked by the strange fragrance of pine mushrooms, and the rice is cooked until it is sticky and soft.

Although there is no meat in the porridge, it tastes even more fresh and fragrant than if there were.

Gu Chen smiles at the two of them, 'Yes, whatever it is, let's talk after dinner. It's still early today, and we have the rest of the afternoon to chat.'

Wu Shuhui looked at Gu Chen carefully for the first time. Gu Chen had double eyelids, his eyes were neither big nor small, and there was light in his eyes, making him look bright and full of energy.

His nose was straight, and coupled with his pair of heroic eyebrows, he looked very handsome.

Moreover, although this kid looked carefree,

he inexplicably gave people the impression that they could rely on him.

Wu Shuhui didn't know how to explain this either, but she couldn't help but like Gu Chen a little.

She lowered her head and fed a mouthful of porridge into her mouth, and instantly her pair of somewhat aged but still beautiful peach eyes lit up.

She then looked at Gu Chen in surprise, both of them looking forward to the surprise together.

'You made this porridge?'
