Now that she had regained her memory, she placed herself in the role of a daughter-in-law, so she was much more grateful to Lin’s parents.

When she deliberately ignored and mistreated them to avoid retaliation from the two children, it was Lin’s mother who took care of them and taught them very well. Just for this, Ning Shu was very grateful.

So when she saw them now, she greeted them with a smile.

Lin’s mother: “Ah, ah, dear daughter-in-law, you’re too polite. You’ve just been discharged from the hospital, and you’ve rarely killed a chicken. You should take good care of your health and eat well. Why call us for dinner?”

Lin’s father just nodded and sat down.

Ning Shu: “…I invited you to eat because I couldn’t finish the food.”

Forget it, she thought it was better to maintain her previous persona in front of them.

Lin’s mother didn’t believe this. Which family would dislike the fact that the chicken couldn’t be finished? Just like when her daughter-in-law gave them meat buns before, although what she said was unpleasant, she heard her educating the children behind her to remember her kindness.

So she also understood that her daughter-in-law was saying one thing but thinking another.

Afraid that her son would be angry with his wife, Lin’s mother quickly joked, “Then if you have meat that you can’t finish in the future, call me and your dad over.”

hen, she said to her son, “I raised you up, but you haven’t given me a piece of chicken to eat. It seems your wife is more considerate.”

Lin Guodong: “…” His mother changed her mind too quickly, didn’t she? “Should I buy you a chicken tomorrow?”

Lin’s mother disdainfully said, “Am I lacking a chicken?”

“I need it, I need it.” Er Bao sat in his seat and said, “Grandma, I need it, he gave you the chicken, you can give it to me.”

Lin’s mother smiled when she heard this. “Our Er Bao is the smartest.”

Unexpectedly, Er Bao asked, “Grandma, Auntie said that Big Brother is the smartest, who is really the smartest, me or Big Brother?”

This question puzzled Lin’s mother. Both grandsons were smart. “Both are smart, equally smart.”

But this answer didn’t interest Yi Bao anymore. He asked his mother, “Mom, Brother said you will eat the chicken leg. What will we eat? We’ll listen to your arrangement. What will we eat?”

Ning Shu didn’t like chicken legs, so she replied truthfully, “I don’t like chicken legs. You can choose what you want to eat and see who can grab it faster.”

“Then I want to eat the chicken leg.” Er Bao immediately started to grab it when he saw that his mother didn’t like it.

“I want to eat the chicken neck,” Lin Haicai said.

“I’ll have the chicken wing,” Yi Bao said.

Ning Shu was not strict with them at mealtime. Since she also chose what she wanted to eat, she also grabbed the chicken wing.

The chicken meat was chopped and boiled in soup, making it easy to grab. So the three children happily grabbed their favorite chicken legs, wings, and necks, and started eating.

Lin Guodong followed suit and started eating.

Lin’s mother felt a bit embarrassed to grab the food, but soon there was a piece of chicken in her bowl, which Lin’s father had grabbed for her.

Comparatively, although Lin’s mother thought Ning Shu was saying one thing and thinking another, she didn’t act as freely as she had imagined in front of Ning Shu. But Lin’s father was more integrated into the situation. He ate what he had and remained quiet.

Lin’s mother picked up a chestnut, took a bite, and was surprised. “The chestnut stewed by the third daughter-in-law is so soft. We usually boil them with the shells on, but they’re not as delicious as this one without the shells.”

Ning Shu：“The texture of chestnuts cooked with shells is more powdery, while the texture of peeled chestnuts is more soft and glutinous.” It’s just a different texture. Speaking of chestnuts, chestnut frog stew is the best, but there are no frogs now.

Lin’s mother: “Is that so? I’ll try it next time.”

“Everything Third Auntie makes is delicious.”

Lin Haicai, who was vigorously gnawing on the chicken neck, said. He liked eating at Third Aunts house the most. If he could be a child in Auntie Three’s house, it would be great.

“Yes, everything my mom makes is delicious.” Er Bao took a big bite of the chicken leg, and the oil stains flowed from his mouth, but he still enjoyed it.

“Yeah, my mom is the best.” Yi Bao’s approach to food was actually quite similar to Ning Shu’s. For example, both of them liked chicken wings.

San Bao didn’t envy the pots today because he also had meat to eat. Ning Shu chopped some of the meat into mince and mixed it with bamboo tube porridge, so San Bao enjoyed his meal today.

“By the way, Mom, when we slaughtered the chicken and let it bleed today, we didn’t put salt water in the bowl. Does that matter?” Ning Shu remembered this incident.

Lin’s mother: “It’s okay, it just means the chicken blood will coagulate more slowly, and the texture will be harder than if salt water was added.”

Listening to her explanation, Ning Shu felt relieved.

After dinner, Lin’s mother wanted to stay and help, but she was refused by Ning Shu. In the end, Ning Shu and Lin Guodong cleaned up together.

After they finished, Lin Guodong took the dishes outside to wash, while Ning Shu cleaned the kitchen.

Cleaning the kitchen was naturally faster than washing dishes. By the time Ning Shu finished cleaning, Lin Guodong was still outside washing…

Lin Guodong was outside washing with the four children, and he was also teaching the three children: “When Dad is working outside and not at home, you guys have to help Mom wash dishes and do household chores. This is how you wash dishes…”

Ning Shu heard this and twitched her mouth. Did he forget what happened on the first day he came back?

A man with double standards.

But Ning Shu didn’t care about him anymore.

She pushed the bicycle out of the kitchen and brought a basket from the utility room, skillfully securing it to the bicycle.

The three kids noticed the situation and all looked towards their mother.

“Mom, are you going out?” Erbao asked directly.

Ning Shu replied, “Yes, I’m going to the county town to buy some things. You all behave at home, no playing with fire, no going to the riverbank to play. Otherwise, if I come back with something tasty from the county town later, I won’t share it with you.” Then, she turned to Lin Guodong and asked, “Where’s your ticket?”

“I know, Mom, don’t worry, I’ll watch over my brothers,” Yibao reassured.

Lin Guodong stood up, pulled out a bunch of things from his pocket—ticket and loose change—and handed them directly to Ning Shu without selecting anything. He then asked, “Do you want me to drive you there?” He asked this with her menstrual cycle in mind.

“No need,” Ning Shu firmly refused. If he went with her, how could she take out the things from the APP? Then she opened her cloth bag and let him put the money and ticket directly inside.

With that said, Lin Guodong didn’t insist further, “Oh, by the way, there’s one more thing. On the way back just now, Mom mentioned to me…” He recounted what happened with Lin Xiaojing’s job, “Is this true?”

“It’s most likely true, but since the job hasn’t officially come to me yet, I can’t guarantee it a hundred percent,” Ning Shu candidly replied.

This made Lin Guodong even more curious, “You applied for a workshop worker position, but that job has already been transferred to the director of the garment factory. How come there’s still a job at the garment factory? Did you apply again?”

“It’s because of my skills,” Ning Shu didn’t conceal anything, explaining the issue with the flawed fabric at the garment factory. “Let the three kids put on camouflage clothes for you to see, I’m off to the county town first.”

With that, she rode away on her bicycle.

The two kids immediately took their father and Haicai to their room. After a while, the three kids came out wearing identical clothes.

“Dad, do we look good?” Yibao asked shyly.

Lin Guodong looked at the three kids wearing the same clothes and indeed found them quite handsome. Especially with their good looks, they appeared even more attractive.

“Dad, do I look good?” Erbao twirled a few circles in front of his dad, with a slightly proud expression.

“You look great,” Lin Guodong praised. All three kids were chubby and spirited, how could they not look good?

Hai Cai watched the three kids wearing camouflage clothes with some envy.

But it wasn’t the new clothes he envied; it was that they were all wearing the same outfit. He wanted to wear the same clothes as them too.

However, it was just envy. He smiled innocently and followed, saying, “It looks really good! These are the best clothes I’ve ever seen. Yibao , Erbao and Sanbao, you all look very nice.”

Seeing this, Yi Bao’s eyes flickered, and then he whispered a few words to Hai Cai. Hai Cai’s eyes lit up. “Really?” he asked.

Yi Bao nodded, “Come on, let’s go inside.”

Lin Guodong also smiled as he watched Yi Bao. He heard the whisper between Yi Bao and Hai Cai.

Yi Bao said, “Hai Cai, do you want to wear it? I can take it off and let you wear it for a while.”

He noticed that Yi Bao was not only intelligent but also very observant.

He was steady in facing situations and had a broad perspective. Such a character was very suitable for the military, especially as an officer.

However, Yi Bao was still young, and the age for joining the army was still far away. But he could start by developing his physical fitness. Physical fitness was the primary requirement for a soldier.

Lin Guodong decided that he would start training Yi Bao from tomorrow.

Yi Bao didn’t know yet that his dad had already arranged things clearly for him. He taught Hai Cai how to put on the camouflage suit in the room and then brought him out.

Hai Cai was a bit shy as he pulled on the clothes, but his eyes were bright, as if they were shining.

“Not bad, looks great,” Lin Guodong praised as well.

This nephew had an introverted personality, but there was a clear intelligence in his gaze, mixed with a bit of innocence.

Hearing his uncle’s praise, Hai Cai became even happier. “Thank you, Uncle.”

“Wow, Hai Cai, now we’re quadruplets!” Er Bao spun around Hai Cai. “Come on, let’s go out and play.”

Hai Cai quickly shook his head, “No, no, it’s okay. These are Yi Bao’s clothes; I’ll go take them off.”

“It’s okay, I’ll lend them to you for today,” Yi Bao said. Although it was made by Mom and he was reluctant, Hai Cai was our good brother. It was okay to let him wear it for a while.

Hai Cai hesitated, “Then what will you wear? You’ll be different from us.”

Seeing this, Lin Guodong quickly made a decision for them, “Yibao and Er Bao will wear only shirts, and San Bao and Hai Cai will wear only pants. This way, you all have something to wear.”

Hai Cai quickly took off the shirt and handed it to Yi Bao, “Yi Bao, quickly put it on.”

“Yeah,” YiBao put on the shirt, and now the four of them indeed looked different from before.

Then Yi Bao went to change his pants too, and Sanbao was pulled to have his shirt taken off by them.

San Bao stood there foolishly, not understanding why they were taking off his shirt, but he couldn’t protect his clothes and could only let them be taken off.

After changing clothes, they went out to play vigorously, feeling like a small army entering the village.

Lin Guodong didn’t bother with them, letting them play on their own.

He cleaned up the bowls and went to the captain’s house.

He promised Ning Shu that he would resolve the issue of the children falling into the river!
