A sophomore in college starts by getting a marriage certificate with a female CEO.

"No one is born knowing how, child?"

Zhou Huifang patted Li Xixue's hand and comforted her:

"When I first married into this family, I could even burn water while boiling it, but now I manage to do it all quite well, don't I?"

Li Xixue was stunned for a moment.

Can water burn?

"Auntie, is this true?"

"If you don't believe me, ask that old geezer."

Zhou Huifang gestured towards the outside with her lips: "The first time I cooked for him, the rice turned into porridge and the vegetables turned into charcoal, but he still ate every last bite."

Upon hearing this, Li Xixue covered her mouth and chuckled. This mother-in-law was quite interesting.

Zhou Huifang continued, "And, daughter, as long as you're willing to learn, your cooking skills will definitely be better than your aunt's in the future."

Li Xixue didn't speak, but the corner of her mouth twitched slightly.

His mother-in-law's words instantly boosted his confidence.

She nodded emphatically.

"Come on, let Auntie teach you again."

Zhou Huifang reheated the pot.

"Put the oil in first, then add the meat once the oil is hot..."

"Xiaoxue, don't be nervous, relax your wrist, yes, yes, that's it."

"Hmm, you can add less salt."

Zhou Huifang patiently provided guidance from the side.

Li Xixue is also studying very hard.

She flipped the meat over, and one side was burnt.

"Auntie...it's burnt."

"It's okay, it's just that the heat wasn't controlled properly. Next time, just turn the heat down a bit."

Lu Yang leaned against the refrigerator, and couldn't help but laugh at Li Xixue's studious expression.

You should know that this CEO can sign a contract worth hundreds of millions without his hands even shaking.

What now?

His hands were shaking uncontrollably as he flipped the pan.

He also discovered that Li Xixue had a particular way of learning.

serious.

Extremely serious.

When adding oil, she would ask: Is that enough?

When flipping the pan, she would ask: Is this right?

When she's cooking the meat, she'll ask: "Should we put it all in?"

Zhou Huifang taught for an unknown period of time.

Li Xixue finally managed to cook a braised pork dish on her own.

Although the color was a bit dark and the meat was a bit tough, at least it wasn't burnt.

Zhou Huifang took a bite and nodded: "Mmm! Much better than before!"

Li Xixue looked at the unappetizing lump of food in the pot, her expression somewhat subtle.

If this were served outside for sale, the customers would probably tear the shop down.

"Oh, right, I have something good for you."

Zhou Huifang wiped her hands, then, as if remembering something, pulled a notebook from the cabinet and handed it to her.

Li Xixue took it and opened it.

It was filled with all sorts of recipes.

The handwriting was somewhat crooked, and the paper was yellowed, indicating that it had been used for many years.

"These are dishes that Auntie has saved up over the years. They are all Xiaoyang's favorite dishes. Take them home and learn how to make them slowly."

Li Xixue looked up at Zhou Huifang, feeling a strange sensation.

It was just an ordinary notebook, but in her heart it was more precious than gold and silver jewelry.

"Auntie...this is too precious, I can't accept it."

"Take it!"

Zhou Huifang shoved the notebook into her hands: "What's so precious about it? It's just a notebook. From now on, I'll be relying on you to take care of my son, Xiaoyang. He often skips breakfast and has a bit of a stomach problem. If you can, please help me persuade him."

Li Xixue held the notebook, slightly moved.

Although Zhou Huifang appears cold towards her son, she is actually very kind to Lu Yang.

Perhaps this is what a mother is like.

Li Xixue nodded.

"it is good."

After leaving the kitchen.

Li Xixue carefully put the notebook into her bag.

Zhou Huifang suddenly slapped her forehead.

"Hey, wait a minute, I have something else!"

After saying that, Zhou Huifang turned and walked towards the bedroom.

They were walking quite fast.

soon.

She came out of the bedroom, holding a small box in her hand.

The box was old, and the edges were faded.

Zhou Huifang walked up to Li Xixue and opened the small box.

There was a ring inside.

It's made of gold, very fine, and inlaid with a small red stone.

It's very old; you can tell it's been around for a long time.

"Auntie, what's wrong...?"

Li Xixue looked down at the ring.

Zhou Huifang held the box, her expression much more serious than before.

"Xiaoxue, this ring has been passed down in our Lu family for generations."

"My mother-in-law passed it down to me..."

As she spoke, she glanced at Li Xixue's face and said, "Today, I want to pass it on to you."

Upon hearing this, Li Xixue was stunned.

Lu Yang, who was standing next to him, was also stunned.

He knew about the ring.

This thing was passed down from his grandmother to his mother, and it has always been locked in a cabinet and has never been taken out.

He secretly found it once when he was a child, and his mother chased him and beat him for three blocks.

"Auntie, this..."

Li Xixue didn't know what to say.

She never expected things to develop this way.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Huifang even entrusted him with her ancestral ring.

However, one thing is certain.

The fact that the other party was willing to hand over such a family heirloom to me is tantamount to them accepting me as their daughter-in-law.

"Auntie, this is really too valuable, I can't accept it..."

"You must accept it!"

Zhou Huifang shoved the box into Li Xixue's hand.

Her attitude was firm.

Li Xixue held the ring in her hands, feeling somewhat at a loss.

She subconsciously looked at Lu Yang.

Lu Yang nodded to her, indicating that she should accept it.

To be honest, he himself didn't expect his mother to be so decisive.

This is only our first meeting, and he's already taken out his family heirloom ring?

But thinking about it, it makes sense.

His mother is the type of person who either likes something or dislikes it.

Now that we've admitted it today, we've completely admitted it.

Lu Jianguo watched from the side, took a sip of tea, and glanced at Zhou Huifang.

The couple exchanged glances.

Lu Jianguo didn't speak, but he nodded.

The movement was very subtle, but Li Xixue saw it.

My father-in-law agreed.

Zhou Huifang held Li Xixue's hand and said earnestly, "Xiaoxue, are you willing to accept my Xiaoyang?"

Without hesitation, Li Xixue nodded earnestly, "Yes."

Zhou Huifang smiled kindly and then slipped the ring onto her ring finger.

The ring was a little loose, and it spun around her finger.

"Hmm, it might be a little big, but please don't mind," Zhou Huifang said with a smile.

Li Xixue looked down at the ring, and something inside her was touched the moment she put it on.

This is different from those high-end jewelry brands.

The significance of this thing is not determined by its monetary value.

But what it represents is what matters.

Zhou Huifang concluded by saying, "If you no longer wish to wear it, I hope you can preserve it well for the Lu family when you leave it."

Li Xixue nodded.

She unconsciously touched the ring with her fingers, showing no intention of taking it off.

There's even a sense of cherishing it.

In the end, she only said one sentence.

"Auntie, I will definitely keep it safe for you."
