Dressed as a little fool: marry and have children

Chapter 456 Mother-in-law's Gaze

At the same time, Aunt Qin had returned to the courtyard. She gently opened the door and carefully placed the meat and vegetables in the cupboard, fearing that she would disturb her mother-in-law who was resting.

At noon, she and her mother-in-law ate a simple meal of noodle porridge and pickles. Although it was light, they both enjoyed it with gusto.

However, when Aunt Qin sat down at the dining table, she inadvertently caught her mother-in-law's gaze, which flashed a hint of desire and anticipation for the meat and vegetables in the cupboard.

Aunt Qin's heart was touched instantly. She looked at her mother-in-law's slightly thin face, and a feeling of heartache surged in her heart. Without thinking too much, she gritted her teeth lightly, as if making a decision, then stood up and walked briskly towards the cupboard.

She gently opened the cupboard door and accurately found the lunch box containing meat and vegetables among the numerous tableware.

Aunt Qin opened the lid of the lunch box, and a rich aroma of meat instantly filled the air. She took a deep breath, then picked up a small piece of temptingly colored, fat and lean meat with chopsticks and carefully placed it in her mother-in-law's bowl.

"Mom, look at you, you're so hungry." Aunt Qin said with a smile, her eyes full of tenderness and consideration, "Come, have a bite first to satisfy your craving, and we'll eat the rest in the evening when Old Qin and the two children come back."

Aunt Qin's mother-in-law looked up at Aunt Qin, her eyes, which had experienced the vicissitudes of life, shone with gratitude and relief. She nodded slightly, and said in a choked voice: "Good children, Mom knows that it is not easy for you, and you always think about us."

As she spoke, she picked up the chopsticks with trembling hands, picked up the piece of meat, and gently put it into her mouth. At that moment, her expression became extremely focused, as if the whole world had stopped, leaving only the piece of meat dancing on the tip of her tongue.

She chewed slowly, and every bite was full of a sense of ritual, as if she wanted to savor this hard-earned delicacy carefully and imprint every bit of meaty aroma deeply in her heart.

As the meat gradually melted in her mouth, Aunt Qin's mother-in-law showed a satisfied and happy smile on her face.

She chewed it over and over again until she could no longer taste the meat, then she slowly swallowed it.

At that moment, tears seemed to be flashing in her eyes, tears of happiness and emotion. She held Aunt Qin's hand tightly and said in a trembling voice: "Thank you, children, it's worth it for me to have you in my life."

While her mother-in-law was enjoying that precious bite of meat, Aunt Qin was also immersed in the "delicious fantasy" she had created.

She looked down at the noodle porridge in her bowl. Although it was light, the aroma of meat wafting from her mother-in-law's bowl seemed to add a tempting flavor to her porridge.

She took a deep breath, and the corners of her mouth rose unconsciously, as if she was really tasting some delicacies from the mountains and the sea. She drank the stick noodle porridge in the bowl in big gulps, and each mouthful was accompanied by a sigh of satisfaction.

In a short while, Aunt Qin had eaten up all her food, not even a grain of rice was left.

She patted her belly with satisfaction, put down her bowl and chopsticks, and turned her eyes gently to her mother-in-law. She saw that her mother-in-law was still savoring the remaining meat flavor in her mouth, with a happy smile on her face.

A smile welled up in Aunt Qin's heart. She knew that this small piece of meat was not just food to her mother-in-law, but also a transmission of home warmth and love.

At this time, Aunt Qin smiled and said to her mother-in-law, "Mom, take your time to eat. Don't worry. I'm going to go out and chat with Aunt Liu. I heard she has a lot of new things going on."

As she spoke, she stood up, gently patted her apron, her face filled with anticipation and excitement.

Hearing this, the mother-in-law looked up at Aunt Qin, a smile flashed in her eyes, as if she had seen through Aunt Qin's little tricks. "Okay, go ahead, don't say anything you shouldn't say." The mother-in-law reminded her, her voice full of love and care.

Aunt Qin responded, then turned and walked out of the house, walking briskly towards Aunt Liu's house. Along the way, her heart was full of anticipation and excitement, making her eager to share this "happiness" with Aunt Liu.

The sunlight shone on her body, giving her a layer of golden glow, as if even her mood became brighter.
