Chapter 570: Home’s Harbor
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Since his mother-in-law had invited him, Luo Cheng naturally had to stay.
Besides, after going to the capital and seeing all sorts of hypocrisy, Luo Cheng yearned for this kind of ordinary kinship even more.
This kind of ordinary kinship was integrated into every meal and was implicitly expressed. Like spring rain, it was nuanced and subtle, but it had a healing power on people.
This was why Luo Cheng immediately brought Li Xiaoran back when she said that she missed home.
Like Li Xiaoran, Luo Cheng enjoyed this kinship.
Luo Cheng said with a smile, “When I was in the capital, I missed Father and
Mother’s food the most! I’m really in luck today!”
Upon hearing that her son-in-law liked her cooking, Zhao Xiu went to serve the dishes happily.
After Luo Cheng came to Li Xiaoran’s room, he pushed open the door gently and walked in.
As he walked towards the sleeping person step by step, Luo Cheng felt calmer and calmer.
The life of the commoners was to nurture their families. A higher level of life was to let their families live a good life.
In the past, Luo Cheng was very envious of such a lifestyle.
After meeting Li Xiaoran, he had the life he wanted.
Others often said that poor couples suffered a lot.
To Luo Cheng, focusing on mundane things in life was the best sort of life.
This was because these things that he needed to use every day were constantly reminding him that he was alive in this world.
He reached out and caressed Li Xiaoran’s face gently.
Li Xiaoran was immediately woken up by this touch. When she smelled Luo Cheng’s unique herbal fragrance, she knew who was sitting beside her.
Li Xiaoran opened her eyes and asked, “Husband, why are you here? What time is it now?”
Luo Cheng said gently, “Mother asked me to wake you up. She’s already prepared our favorite food!”
After Li Xiaoran thought of something, she stood up.
“Sigh, I wonder if there’s cured meat and ribs. I’ve been craving them for a long time!”
“Don’t be anxious. Wash your face!” When Luo Cheng saw Li Xiaoran’s anxious expression, he tried to persuade her. “Go and look in the mirror. Look at yourself! Your hair is all messy!”
When Li Xiaoran heard this, she immediately came to the bronze mirror to take a look.
As expected, her beautiful hair was in a mess.
Li Xiaoran said as she tidied up, “I don’t know why, but after returning home, I slept more soundly!”
Luo Cheng sat at the side quietly and watched Li Xiaoran tidy up. Then, he said, “I can understand what you mean! Actually, I feel very comfortable and relaxed after I came back as well. I don’t feel as restrained as before, like in the capital!”
After Li Xiaoran turned around and saw Luo Cheng’s crossed legs, she smiled and said, “I can tell!”
Seeing this, Luo Cheng quickly put down his legs.
“When I first came, I was wondering why these people in Sichuan liked to cross their legs. Now that I’ve developed the habit of crossing my legs as well, I understand what it feels like.”
Li Xiaoran glanced at the embarrassed smile on Luo Cheng’s face before following him.
Like Luo Cheng, Li Xiaoran crossed her legs.
“People will only choose a comfortable position to sit or lie in when they’re very comfortable, so it’s fine! In the future, do whatever you feel comfortable with! No one will say anything about you! ”
These words made Luo Cheng’s eyes burn.
Li Xiaoran was always so understanding. It would be great if she was this understanding in other aspects as well!
Of course, the latter could only be used on him and not others!
Thinking of this, Luo Cheng was in a good mood and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
“Alright, I’ll go out for dinner after washing my face!” Seeing that Luo Cheng’s mood had improved, Li Xiaoran quickly got up and went to wash up.
By the time the couple went over together, everyone was already there.
Shu Ruyue, Wu Qinghe, Luo Ziyang, Zi Cheng, and Zi Zheng also came.
Li Xiaoran thought of something and asked, “Everyone is here today, but why don’t I see Granny Qiu?”
Li Xiaoqing replied, “My mentor went out for something and said that he would be back in three days! He’ll be back tomorrow!”
Li Xiaoran nodded and sat down.
Li Shun said, “Everyone, let’s eat!”
Everyone picked up their chopsticks.
The dishes on the table were all home-cooked.
However, such home-cooked dishes became things that Li Xiaoran yearned for when she was in the capital.
“Come, come, come. Luo Cheng, here’s your favorite pork trotters!” Zhao Xiu picked up a piece of pork trotters and stewed peas for Luo Cheng.
“Thank you, Mother!” Luo Cheng thanked her with a smile.
When Li Xiaoran saw this, she quickly reached out with the bowl and looked at Zhao Xiu expectantly.
Seeing this, Zhao Xiu picked up a piece of pig trotter and placed it in Li Xiaoran’s bowl. Li Xiaoran was immediately saddened.
Before she could say anything, Li Shun had already picked up a piece of pork ribs and placed it in Li Xiaoran’s bowl.
“I know what you want to eat. I’ll pick it up for you!”
Li Xiaoran immediately revealed a happy look. Then, she said to Li Shun, “Thank you, Father. You’re the best!”
With that, Li Xiaoran glanced at Zhao Xiu to express her dissatisfaction.
“Unlike Mother, who is biased towards her son-in-law!”
When Luo Cheng saw that Li Xiaoran was jealous, he immediately laughed.
“She picked up pig trotters for me because she wants me to treat you better!
Don’t misunderstand!”
When Li Xiaoran heard this, she was overjoyed.
“In that case, I’ll give you this pig trotter. You have to treat me better in the future!”
As soon as he said this, everyone at the table laughed.
“Girl, you’re jealous of everything!” Zhao Xiu was amused.
The interlude quickly passed and Li Xiaoran began to eat happily.
She ate a lot of cured meat and ribs, as well as stir-fried cured meat with garlic sprouts.
Li Xiaoran picked up a piece of meat and placed it in her mouth. As she enjoyed the taste of the cured meat in her mouth, she felt satisfied.
Seeing Li Xiaoran eat with such relish, the others ate a lot more as well.
They finished the entire table of dishes and even the soup.
Zhao Xiu was the happiest. Seeing her dishes being eaten by everyone was the best praise for her culinary skills.
Shu Ruyue marveled, “I finally understand why Xiaoran has always wanted to come home.. If my mother could make such a table of delicious dishes, I would also want to go home as well!”
