Train to Another World.

Chapter 379 A Day in the Zhu Family

Di Yong, who had lost his memory of this life, looked at the scene in front of him like a curious baby with a confused look on his face. He had never been here before, and although the prosperity of the human settlement had improved compared to the last time, this time it was too...

Di Yong was led by Bai Xinmei into a magical instrument called a car. Driving along the wide official road, he pressed his entire face against the passenger window.

Bai Xinmei glanced sideways and couldn't help laughing. She didn't expect that the legendary five-star hero would have such a childish side. If it was Yongfu, he would be sitting in the passenger seat, either frowning at the report or frowning at his phone.

Thinking of Zhu Yongfu, the smile on Bai Xinmei's face disappeared again.

After returning home, Zhu Yongfu's mother was sitting alone in the living room watching TV. When she saw Bai Xinmei coming back, she immediately complained: "You ran out after buying groceries so early in the morning, and you didn't even cook!"

When Di Yong entered the room, he saw all kinds of vegetables and meat on the table, and couldn't help but sigh at the material abundance of human beings nowadays. Suddenly, he heard the old woman's words, and Di Yong took a look at the old woman, and saw that she had all her limbs intact, was in good health, and didn't have much work to do.

I felt a little confused: "If you are not busy, why don't you go cook?"

Zhu Yongfu's mother looked at her son in astonishment, as if she had just met him for the first day. She didn't know if her son had taken the wrong medicine. Normally, when something like this happened, wouldn't she join him in condemning her daughter-in-law?
"Yongfu, I am your mother after all. Is it wrong for me to let your wife cook?"

Di Yong suddenly realized that it was his mother in this life: "It turned out to be my dear mother. Please wait a moment. I will go to cook."

"Yongfu, what happened to you?"

"Shall I go cook?"

"You're tired after a day's work. Why don't you go home and rest? What are you going to cook?"

Di Yong thought of the daily life of the Zhu family that Bai Xinmei had "popularized" to him on the way. If she remembered correctly, Bai Xinmei should have gotten up early today, prepared breakfast for the whole family, sent her daughter to school, and bought some vegetables on the way back. If it wasn't for her own reasons, she should have been cooking now.

But the premise of all this is that Zhu Yongfu is working hard outside. In ancient times, food was scarce and survival was difficult. Even the five-star warriors with great magic power only hunted and gathered for convenience, so in addition to their own needs, they also had to help other human beings get food.

The humans who lacked the ability to hunt and gather would stay in the settlements and do other things within their capabilities. Everyone performed their duties, huddled together for warmth, and worked hard to continue the human race.

Even in the dozens of reincarnations that followed, everyone's way of living was similar, so he thought that he had not done anything today, and it was completely reasonable for him to help with cooking after returning home.

"I'm not tired. She has worked all day and it's time for her to take a rest." Di Yong said as he walked into the kitchen.

Although Di Yong said so, Bai Xinmei still followed him into the kitchen. After all, Di Yong had just woken up and had no idea how to use modern kitchen utensils and seasonings.

"What did you tie to me?"

“It’s an apron.”

"Is anyone sick? Why are there so many powders?"

“These are seasonings.”

“What’s the seasoning?”

Bai Xinmei patiently explained to Di Yong how to use various items and tools one by one. Di Yong learned quickly and became an expert in them. After being taught by Bai Xinmei to make two dishes, he knew how to do the rest just by Bai Xinmei telling him.

Soon, the dining table was filled with dishes, and the family of three sat around it.

"What's going on? Why is it so salty?" As soon as it was time to eat, Yongfu's mother started to find fault subconsciously.

Di Yong said casually, "I'm sorry, I haven't used this kind of salt much, so I put a little too much."

Yongfu's mother opened her mouth but said nothing. She realized that her son had cooked today's meal, so she didn't say anything more.

After dinner, Di Yong and Bai Xinmei cleaned the table together, and Bai Xinmei also taught him how to wash dishes.

After doing all this, Di Yong saw that Bai Xinmei had nothing to do, so he said to her: "Come with me to the bedroom."

When Yongfu's mother heard this, her eyes suddenly lit up. Although she liked to embarrass Bai Xinmei, she would still be happy if Bai Xinmei could continue the Zhu family's lineage. Zhu Yongfu only had Mary as a daughter, which made her very anxious.

Bai Xinmei was also slightly stunned. What was he going to do? But after thinking about it, she realized that the five-star warrior who had just awakened was not her opponent, so she followed him into the room.

After Di Yong walked into the bedroom, he asked Bai Xinmei seriously, "What do I do for a living?"

So this is what she was asking. Bai Xinmei breathed a sigh of relief: "You usually do business."

Di Yong nodded: "So it's a peddler, I'm familiar with this."

"Well, almost, but slightly different from what you thought." Then, Bai Xinmei told Di Yong about Zhu Yongfu's business and management experience.

After Di Yong came out of the bedroom, he saw his original mother looking at him with disappointment. He didn't know what she was disappointed about, so he just forced a smile and nodded, then went to the office and started flipping through the reports on the desk. Unfortunately, most of the reports were written in an unfamiliar language, so Di Yong had no choice but to find Bai Xinmei again. After asking her about it, Di Yong picked up an English dictionary and a seal script calligraphy comparison table and quickly flipped through them page by page.

By the afternoon, Di Yong had finished reading the two reference books and started to browse the reports. This surprised Bai Xinmei a little, as she had only seen this kind of skill in Jiang Chen.

In the afternoon, Bai Xinmei took Mary back and found that Di Yong had already prepared dinner. In Yongfu's mother's heart, her son was much more important than her daughter-in-law. When Bai Xinmei was cooking, she not only watched from the side, but also found faults after she was done.

But after Di Yong walked into the kitchen, Yongfu's mother could no longer sit still. She simply tied on an apron and walked into the kitchen again after many years.

After returning home, Mary called out "Dad" and threw herself into Di Yong's arms. Di Yong subconsciously caught Mary and gave a forced smile, thinking that this was the original body's daughter.

Since everyone was already there, Di Yong invited everyone to eat. Unexpectedly, at the table, Mary directly knocked down the dish that Bai Xinmei had picked for her.

Di Yong saw this and slammed the table: "Is this how you treat your mother?!"

When Mary heard her father say this, she burst into tears: "She is not my mother!"

Bai Xinmei told him about this matter. Of course, he knew that Bai Xinmei was not Mary's biological mother. After all, humans and foxes...

At this time, Yongfu's mother also put down her bowl and chopsticks and hugged Mary in her arms: "Okay, don't yell at my good grandson for an outsider."

Di Yong frowned even deeper. He pointed at Bai Xinmei and looked at Yongfu's mother: "Should I marry her?"

Yongfu's mother had never seen her son like this before, and she felt very nervous, so she replied, "He got married."

Then Di Yong asked sternly, "Has she ever treated you two unfairly? Tell me, and I'll make the decision for you."

Even Mary was frightened by him at this time. After all, Zhu Yongfu always doted on Mary and never said a harsh word to her. Yongfu's mother wanted to confuse right and wrong, but seeing Di Yong's expression, she didn't dare to lie and confessed honestly: "No...no."

Di Yong glared at Mary again: "What about you?"

Although Mary was very scared, she was still very sad and still shouted, "She is not my mother!"

Di Yong then asked, "What about your mother?"

When this sentence came out, not only Mary, but also Bai Xinmei and Yongfu's mother were dumbfounded. Yongfu's mother quickly covered Mary's ears: "Yongfu, what are you talking about?!"

Mary broke free from her grandmother: "My mother is dead!"

"Are you the only one in the world who lost his mother?"

Although she understood that Di Yong was speaking for her, even Bai Xinmei couldn't stand it anymore and quickly held Di Yong's arm: "Yongfu, stop talking."

Di Yong removed Bai Xinmei's hand and continued to question Mary: "Are there other people around you who have lost their mothers?"

"……Have."

"Does anyone pick them up every day? Do they get to eat a hot meal every day when they return home? Is there anyone around them who cares about them instead of their biological mothers?!"

"..."

"It seems like she is gone? Your biological mother passed away, which is your misfortune. But your stepmother treats you as her own child, which is like giving you a mother again. You should feel lucky. No matter what era it is, this is a very rare blessing. You should cherish it and be grateful."

"..."

"Call mother!"

"……Mother."

"Louder!"

"Mother."

"Okay, let's eat."

The three of them picked up their bowls and chopsticks again. After all, Zhu Yongfu was the main source of income for the family, and he was the head of the family. Seeing how Zhu Yongfu defended Bai Xinmei, Yongfu's mother did not dare to find fault with him anymore.

Although Mary still had some resentment towards Bai Xinmei, after thinking carefully about what her father said, she was not as resistant as she was at the beginning.

A family of four sitting together does seem to be the case.
