Futuristic Chef Transmigrated As Mother-Chapter 395 - Brother-in-law Is Very Happy

395 Brother-in-law Is Very Happy

Jiang Danhe blushed and raised his hands in embarrassment to cover his entire face.

After a while, Jiang Danhe finally spoke.

“Zhuang Zhuang, can you cook?”

“…” Zhuang Zhuang blinked. “What are you talking about?”

“… Nothing.”

Jiang Danhe felt ashamed for asking that, so he stopped talking. If word got out that his kid had to cook for him, it would be an embarrassment.

After an unproductive conversation, the two of them fell silent again.

Jiang Danhe looked at the distant path and called out to Xiaoguo countless times in his heart, “Xiaoguo, come back quickly.”

After taking his horse out in the morning, he went straight to the county city. He went to the noodle shop first, but could not find Xiaoguo there. Hence, he rushed to Mr. Kong’s house, but he still did not find her.

Afraid of being alone, Jiang Danhe tricked Zhuang Zhuang into returning home with him. Since he couldn’t see his wife, it was only right that his son should accompany his father.

Since he was already back, there had to be someone home with him.

Jiang Danhe did not say much when he went to Mr. Kong’s house. The poor Zhuang Zhuang thought that Xiaoguo was home, so he happily packed his small bag and followed his father back.

On the way home, the boy clamored to go back to Mr. Kong’s house when he found out the truth. However, how could Jiang Danhe let him go? He would feel so lonely by himself. Two lonely souls together would make loneliness seem more bearable.

Since there were no lunch arrangements, the two of them returned to the noodle shop. After eating and drinking their fill, they returned home in low spirits.

For the entire afternoon, they did nothing but stare at each other. When the temperature dropped, they sat at the door and transformed into the Wife-watching Stone and Mother-watching Stone.

At this moment, the two of them were calling out in their hearts.

“Xiaoguo, come back quickly…”

“Mother, come back quickly…”

“We’re hungry…”

When Mrs. Yang was done making dinner, she came out to summon the two of them.

She knew that they had no plans for dinner.

Jiang Danhe and Zhuang Zhuang looked at each other with sparkling eyes. Although they were telling her that they shouldn’t accept her offer, their actions were extremely honest.

Just as they were putting the stools back in the house and closing the main door, they heard the sound of hooves in the distance.

The father and son’s ears twitched. They stopped in their tracks and looked ahead hopefully.

They were still looking forward to Xiaoguo’s return.

Mrs. Yang was very amused by their expressions. She crossed her arms and followed their gaze.

Xiaoguo was focused on introducing her surroundings to the two girls when Yu Ling suddenly pointed at someone in the distance. She asked curiously, “Is that Zhuang Zhuang?”

“No, Zhuang Zhuang is at school in the county.”

Xiaoguo waved her hand and said without thinking.

They were still quite a distance from the house. Hearing her words, Yu Ling became rather unsure. Maybe she was mistaken.

But, the girl had good eyesight. The more she looked at the person, the more he looked like Zhuang Zhuang. So she repeated herself again.

“Sister Xiaoguo, it’s really Zhuang Zhuang…”

Xiaoguo wanted to laugh when she heard this. How could Zhuang Zhuang be here? She had personally sent him off yesterday.

Seeing that the two of them still didn’t believe her, Yu Ling anxiously reached out and pointed in that direction. She said, “Isn’t the shorter one Zhuang Zhuang?”

“That’s right!” Xiao Zhu narrowed her eyes and tried her best to look in that direction. She confirmed Yu Ling’s claim one step ahead of Xiaoguo, “It’s really Zhuang Zhuang!”

Then, Xiao Zhu sighed in confusion and asked, “But who’s that person beside him? He looks so familiar…”

When Yu Ling heard her words, she paused and looked over curiously. Was there someone beside Zhuang Zhuang? She couldn’t see anyone.

Just now, she was so focused on looking at Zhuang Zhuang that she didn’t notice another person beside the boy.

Xiaoguo’s interest was piqued when she heard their conversation. It was sounding more and more convincing.

Succumbing to their words, Xiaoguo looked ahead. The image she saw instantly stunned her.

“It’s really Zhuang Zhuang!”

Xiaoguo said in surprise. Why was Zhuang Zhuang at home?!

“See, I told you I didn’t see wrongly!” Yu Ling said proudly. Then, she asked in confusion, “Who’s beside him?”

They were still quite far away. Although Yu Ling and Xiao Zhu had seen Jiang Danhe before, they had not interacted much with him. They were much more familiar with Zhuang Zhuang.

No matter how hard Xiao Zhu and Yu Ling tried to identify the person, they were no match for Xiaoguo who recognized him at a glance.

The carriage was getting closer to the two figures. If she still couldn’t recognize the man, she was going to get a scolding from him. And that particular man would get upset again.

“Next to him is Zhuang Zhuang’s father.”

Xiaoguo was still a little shy about calling him her husband. Moreover, it was not appropriate to say Jiang Danhe’s name directly. It would seem like they were not on familiar terms with each other.

Therefore, when she said the words, Zhuang Zhuang’s father, it perfectly explained his identity. She also didn’t feel so awkward at the same time.

“Oh…”

As soon as she said that, the two of them exclaimed in realization. They knew it. He looked so familiar. So he is Sister Xiaoguo’s husband.

“What about the other person?”

The two of them had met Jiang Danhe before, but they didn’t know the pregnant woman on the other side. They wanted to find out more so that they wouldn’t make a fool of themselves in front of Sister Xiaoguo.

Seeing that the carriage was about to reach their house, Xiaoguo had no time to explain to them. She said, “She’s a very good big sister. I’ll introduce her to you later.”

“Okay.”

The two of them nodded. Then, they picked up their bags and got ready to get out of the car.

Xiaoguo was also very happy. Although she didn’t know why he had returned, it didn’t stop her from feeling happy.

Before the carriage could stop, Zhuang Zhuang happily tugged at the corner of Jiang Danhe’s clothes and said, “Mother is back…”

Jiang Danhe pretended to be calm and nodded. “Yes, it’s your mother.”

Zhuang Zhuang glanced at him. What was he trying to act cool? He could see his hands trembling with excitement.

Jiang Danhe was indeed not as calm as he looked on the surface. If not for the fact that the occasion was not right, he really wanted to run over, stop the carriage, hug Xiaoguo and tell her that he missed her very much. Then, he would ask her where she had gone. He was absolutely starving.

Xiaoguo seemed to have sensed the man’s resentment and she waved at him from afar.

Jiang Danhe’s hands were faster than his brain. He responded to her immediately and even smiled unknowingly. It was obvious that he was very happy to see her home.

Then, he heard Mrs. Yang and Zhuang Zhuang laughing. His raised hand paused in mid-air and his face turned red. In the next instant, he put down his hand in embarrassment.

It was better to express his longing secretly later. There were too many strangers here.

Xi Zi stopped the carriage and put down the footstool.

“Thank you.”

Xiaoguo came down first and expressed her thanks to Xi Zi. Xiao Zhu and Yu Ling followed her and did the same.

When Jiang Danhe saw Xiaoguo appear, he started walking towards her. However, when he saw the two people following behind her, he paused for a second before moving forward.

One step ahead of Jiang Danhe, Zhuang Zhuang ran to Xiaoguo’s side. Although he was wondering why Sister Xiao Zhu and Sister Yu Ling had come back together with his mother, he still smiled and greeted them.

Xiao Zhu and Yu Ling liked Zhuang Zhuang very much and they greeted him with smiles on their faces. However, a tall shadow loomed over them and the two of them instantly became reserved.

“Hello, Brother-in-law.”

Xiao Zhu’s eyes quickly landed on the man. Jiang Danhe smiled in satisfaction when she called him brother-in-law.

“Hello, Brother-in-law!”

Yu Ling saw that he seemed to like this form of address, so she chimed in after Xiao Zhu.

Jiang Danhe’s smile widened. Although Xiaoguo had brought two followers back, they seemed quite sensible. He didn’t mind having them around.

“Hello to you too.”

Jiang Danhe couldn’t stop smiling. He was reveling in the joy of being addressed as “brother-in-law”.

Xiaoguo secretly patted him and looked at his face. She muttered under her breath, “How silly.”

That didn’t affect Jiang Danhe’s good mood at all. He loved it whenever anyone affirmed their relationship as husband and wife.

She was Sister Xiaoguo, and he was brother-in-law. It was obvious that the two of them were in a close relationship.
