Just after dinner early in the morning, Qin Jinlian was wrapped in a thick cotton coat and stood by the road at the entrance of the town, looking forward to it.

Even though his cheeks and nose were red from the cold and he was shivering, he still smiled and explained to everyone passing by:
"The boss is bringing his eldest grandson back today. I'm here to welcome him."

From 8 o'clock until almost 10 o'clock, a familiar car finally appeared in the field of vision, and Qin Jinlian hurriedly ran forward.

There were too many people in one car, so Shen Mingzhu and Pei Yang each drove one, with Pei Yang's car in front.

Seeing Qin Jinlian running this way, he slowly stopped the car and asked Qin Jinlian to get in the car.

Qin Jinlian bent over and looked around the car, but she didn't see her eldest grandson Shen Zilong's face full of disappointment. She didn't even bother to respond to her eldest granddaughter Daya's call.

"Where's the egg?"

"They're still behind."

Hearing this, Qin Jinlian turned from worry to joy and waved to Pei Yang to go home first, while she stood in the cold wind and continued to wait.

Shen Chaobei felt sorry for her and got out of the car to accompany her.

Although she didn't look forward to the eldest son Shen Chaobei as much as her eldest grandson, after all, they hadn't seen each other for more than a year. Qin Jinlian was very happy and asked him to greet him.

After the mother and son chatted for a while, they saw Shen Mingzhu's car.

Qin Jinlian was extremely excited, "Is it Dandan and the others?"

"Yes."

"well!"

The biting cold wind made Qin Jinlian's already wrinkled face have more ravine lines, making her look particularly old and haggard.

At this time, Shen Chaobei was in tears because he was about to see his grandson, which made Shen Chaobei feel extremely uncomfortable.

On one side is his biological mother who gave birth to him, and on the other side is his daughter-in-law who cares about each other. He is really in a dilemma.

"Mom and eldest brother are in front."

In the car, Shen Mingzhu, who was the first to see the mother and son, reminded Du Juan in the passenger seat.

Du Juan raised her head and looked forward, then turned to her son and said, "Egg, get off the car and call grandma in a moment."

Shen Zilong has just turned five this year and is at the age where he is naughty and mischievous. He didn't pay attention to Du Juan's reminder and was completely immersed in the fun of solving the Rubik's Cube.

Du Juan was helpless.

She and Shen Chaobei have been busy with work these years. Shen Zilong is taken care of by his daughter and nanny. He is usually only close to his daughter and does not listen to her at all.

"Edan, mom is talking to you, do you hear me?"

Seeing that Shen Zilong still didn't answer, Shen Mingzhu glanced at her son through the rearview mirror.

Pei Ziheng understood and raised his hand to take away the Rubik's Cube from Shen Zilong's hand.

Shen Zilong was about to make a fuss, but when he met Pei Ziheng's dark and clear eyes, he suddenly became honest.

"Remember to call someone when you get off the car, otherwise this..."

Pei Ziheng shook the Rubik's Cube in his hand and said, "I won't let you play with it anymore."

Shen Zilong snorted proudly: "If you don't let me down, I'll ask my dad to buy it for me! My dad has a lot of money, who cares!"

Without saying a word, Pei Ziheng raised his hand and threw the Rubik's Cube out of the car window.

Shen Zilong didn't expect that Pei Ziheng really wouldn't let him play. He was about to cry as soon as he curled his lips, but was stopped by Pei Ziheng's words: "If you dare to cry, I will throw you down too."

With tears in his eyes, he finally looked at Du Juan in front of him.

"Mother……"

Du Juan was originally quite critical of Pei Ziheng for scaring her son into tears, but when she saw her son leaning against her, she suddenly understood Pei Ziheng's intentions. In addition to being grateful, she also felt admiration and envy for Shen Mingzhu.

When Shen Mingzhu married into the Pei family, Pei Ziheng was already four years old. She was still a stepmother, but she still raised Pei Ziheng to be so sensible and outstanding.

She is still her biological mother. Her son has been with her since he was a child, but the relationship between mother and son is far inferior to that of Shen Mingzhu, the stepmother and stepson.

After getting Du Juan's promise to buy the Rubik's Cube, Shen Zilong obediently called Qin Jinlian after getting out of the car.

From the moment the car door opened, Qin Jinlian didn't even blink.

When Shen Zilong got off the car and called her grandma, tears immediately poured out of her eyes like a waterfall.

"Edan, my great grandson..."

She shouted and rushed forward to hug Shen Zilong, which scared Shen Zilong so much that he hid in Du Juan's arms.

"If you have anything to say, let's talk about it when we go home. It's cold outside." After hearing this, Qin Jinlian looked at Du Juan.

This is the first time the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have met since the "son-stealing incident" five years ago.

In the past five years, Du Juan has been back to Fengcheng several times, but every time she went directly to her parents' home, and asked someone to bring her the things she bought, without seeing them at all.

The eldest daughter-in-law in front of her is completely different from when she first married into the Shen family.

With neatly styled hair, exquisite makeup, a knee-length gray mink coat, and long leather boots, she looks noble and fashionable from head to toe.

If she were walking on the street, she wouldn't recognize him face to face.

"Juan, you're back." Qin Jinlian greeted her pleasantly.

Du Juan nodded gently, "Yes, Mom."

"Eh!"

Qin Jinlian cried with joy.

Shen Mingzhu, who was in the car, looked at this scene and only thought of one sentence: If I had known this, why bother in the beginning.

……

As soon as they entered, everyone was stuffed with a bowl of hot brown sugar boiled eggs.

In addition to brown sugar and eggs, the soup also contains red dates, fermented glutinous rice and ginger slices.

In the dead of winter, eating a bowl of boiled eggs with brown sugar will warm your stomach and ward off the cold.

"Dan Dan, don't be stunned. Drink it quickly. After drinking the sugar water, Dan will feel warm."

Seeing Shen Zilong sitting in a daze, Qin Jinlian urged with a smile.

Daya explained for her younger brother: "Edan doesn't like ginger."

"Then I'll cook him another bowl..."

Shen Chaobei stopped Qin Jinlian and said, "Mom, there's no need to work too hard. I can't even take two bites of my balls."

"It's not too early at this time. Let's cook some food and have it early at noon."

Shen Jianguo looked at Shen Zilong with loving eyes and said to Qin Jinlian.

"Okay, then I'll go cook."

After saying that, he smiled and said to Shen Zilong, "Grandma will make chicken stewed with mushrooms for you." Then he happily went to the kitchen.

Pei Yang put down the bowl and said, "I'm going to help mom."

When Shen Chaobei heard this, he finished the soup in his bowl and wiped his mouth and followed him to the kitchen.

Seeing Shen Xiangnan sitting motionless, Shen Jianguo said: "Second brother, you go and help too. Cook the food early so that you don't go hungry."

"Oh."

Among the children at the table, the two elders only doted on their nephew like eyeballs. Jia Yuemei couldn't help but touch her swollen belly.

Du Juan sat next to her, and when he saw her movements, he casually expressed concern: "The child is making trouble for you?"

"Yes, it is."

Jia Yuemei followed her words and said, "Boys are a lot more noisy than girls."

Du Juan smiled and pretended not to hear the other party's show off.

After hearing this, Shen Jianguo turned his attention to her.

Her attitude was very kind, "Yuemei, if you feel uncomfortable, go and lie down upstairs for a while. I will bring the food up to you when it is ready."

"No, the fuss will stop after a while."

……

With the help of her son-in-law and two sons, Qin Jinlian quickly cooked lunch.

The whole family sat around the big round table, filling the twelve-seater round table.

Seeing the lively scene in the crowd, Qin Jinlian smiled from ear to ear.

As soon as lunch was over, she didn't even bother to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, so she took Shen Zilong out. (End of chapter)
