Chapter 91: Chapter 91 Second Child_1
As for their mother, after giving the younger ones some snacks, she headed to the kitchen and saw her daughter-in-law busy cooking.
She glanced at her youngest daughter, realizing she was pregnant too. It had taken her a while to have her second child, almost four years after her eldest.
Their mother remembered that her son had just told her to take good care of his wife that morning. Yet, now that her two daughters had come home, her pregnant daughter-in-law with a growing belly was cooking. She hurriedly said to her, “Hanhan, let me take over.”
“Mom, I’m fine, there are many people around so the cooking will get done quickly,” Meng Yunhan replied with a smile.
Yun Men chimed in, “Mom, let my sister-in-law do it. Her cooking is delicious. I haven’t had much of an appetite these past two months.”
“Is Xiaomen pregnant again?” Meng Yunhan suddenly remembered. In her past life, Xiaomen had also been pregnant around this time, but she didn’t know why, she had miscarried in the end and supposedly with twins.
Yun Men chuckled, “I’m only two months in.”
“Alright, I’ll make you some appetizers.” Meng Yunhan replied cheerfully.
Yun Shuang glanced at Yun Men, annoyed that she was pregnant yet Meng Yunhan still had to cook for her.
Their mother was torn. On one hand, she had her youngest daughter who didn’t have much of an appetite and on the other, her pregnant daughter-in-law who was six months in. She had to admit that though they were both stir-frying, the dishes her daughter-in-law prepared tasted significantly better.
“Hanhan, I’ll wash and cut the vegetables for you. You can take care of the stir-frying,” Yun Shuang suggested, thinking this would be an ideal solution.
“Alright.”
And so, the kitchen was ruled by women. Yun Shuang and their mother were busy preparing the vegetables, while Meng Yunhan was making glutinous rice balls and peanut liquor. She also considered Yun Men’s lack of appetite and decided to cook a dish with meat that her sisters had brought from their mother’s house.
This left Yun Shuang and Yun Men dumbfounded. They had never seen anyone making rice balls like this.
Their mother, on the other hand, was not surprised by her daughter-in-law’s craftsmanship at all.
“Sister-in-law, are the glutinous rice balls this simple?”
Meng Yunhan replied with a smile, “Yes, it’s that simple. In fact, many dishes are very simple.”
Meng Yunhan also cooked mushroom chicken.
There were also crispy meat pies.
Once the dishes were served, Li Yong and Zhang Jiang, the two brothers-in-law, immediately knew that they were made by Meng Yunhan. They were only unsure if their wives had picked up any cooking tricks from watching her.
Yun Hao could tell at a glance that the dishes were made by his wife.
“Mom, these rice balls are so yummy, I want more, I want more.” Zhang Yunxuan, the young boy, craved for more since it was delicious.
“Alright.” Yun Men gave him another one.
They enjoyed a pleasant meal.
“Auntie Meng, can I stay with you?”
Meng Yunhan stroked Zhang Yunxuan’s head, asking, “Why?”
Everyone else also wanted to know why.
“Because Auntie Meng can cook a lot of delicious food. The one’s my mom makes are not tasty.” Zhang Yunxuan replied honestly,
Yun Men was embarrassed and snapped at him, “Then you can just stay with your auntie!”
Zhang Yunxuan contemplated for a moment before suggesting a win-win solution, “Mom, isn’t little brother disturbing you? We can both stay with Auntie Meng and enjoy her delicious food while dad can go home alone.”
Everyone broke into a hearty laugh as the little boy said this.
Zhang Jiang couldn’t help laughing at his son’s witty remark.
