The honeymoon period always passes quickly, and Cheng Min recovered from her injuries the very next day.
The saying "once you taste the marrow, you'll know the flavor" is suitable for newlywed couples. After being "developed," Cheng Min abandoned her shyness and began to take the initiative.
Even though Chang Kun is exceptionally talented and his abilities are enhanced by the system, she can still fight him to a standstill.
After several days of watering, on the third day, Cheng Min's originally fair complexion turned as radiant as a peach blossom.
Cheng Min, who was doing her makeup in front of the mirror, was a little shy. Coming home like this, anyone could tell how well she had been living these past few days.
"Today is the day for your return to your parents' home. Xiao Kun and Xiao Min, are you ready?" Liu Meifen called out from outside the door early in the morning when she saw the young couple already up.
Chang Kun walked to the door and said, "Mom, you've already prepared everything. What else do you need us to prepare?"
In the past two days, Liu Meifen has taken care of all the big and small things at home, not letting Chang Kun and Cheng Min do any work.
The kitchen is filled with countless delicious dishes, such as old hen stewed with angelica, yam and black chicken soup, codonopsis stewed with old pigeon, and eucommia stewed with pork kidney.
The old woman took out all the family wealth that Chang Kun left her, just to give the young couple a good boost so they could have a grandson soon.
In just two days, Chang Kun felt that his belly had grown bigger. If he continued to eat like this, he would either have high cholesterol or fatty liver.
Yesterday I advised my mother that even good things shouldn't be eaten indiscriminately, and that she should pay attention to health.
His mother rolled her eyes at him. These days, so many families can't even afford to eat, and this son is talking about health preservation? He's just crazy!
Chang Kun pinched a small ring of fat on his stomach, thinking that he could finally have some peace and quiet at his father-in-law's house for lunch.
Liu Meifen had already packed the box of pastries for the bride's return visit and pointed them out to Chang Kun one by one.
"Brown sugar, vermicelli, eggs... and these snacks, all in double portions. It's just your father-in-law and the Cheng family, so I didn't prepare too much."
"That's enough, Mother. Our two families don't need to stand on ceremony. As long as no one can find fault with us, that's fine."
Liu Meifen laughed: "That's what I meant too. Anyway, our two families don't live far apart. You can go and visit your father-in-law often and bring him some ready-made things."
Chang Kun nodded and specially filled two more jars with tiger bone wine.
My father-in-law likes to drink, and this kind of wine is good for his health, so it's perfect for him.
The return visit to the bride's parents' home was on the third day, and it had to be done as early as possible. Chang Kun wore the Zhongshan suit he wore on their wedding day, and Cheng Min also wore the long dress she wore that day.
The two were in high spirits and hopped on their bicycles to head towards Cheng Rongjiang's house.
"Father, elder brother, we're here!"
Before he even reached his father-in-law's house, Chang Kun could see his father-in-law and brother-in-law waiting at the door from afar.
He quickly got off the car and pushed his bicycle forward.
"Dad, brother, why are you being so polite? What are you waiting at the door for?" Cheng Min hadn't seen her father and brother for two days, so she hadn't thought much of it.
But seeing each other now, I don't know why, but I felt a lump in my throat.
When I went home before, my dad and older brother wouldn't have been so polite.
She eventually got married and became someone else's wife; things are different now.
"We're not waiting for you, we're waiting for Xiao Kun!" Cheng Rongjiang chuckled as he accepted the gift box from Chang Kun, saying politely, "You're here, why bring anything?"
When the new son-in-law brings his wife back to his parents' home for the first time, the father-in-law naturally has to wait at the door to show his respect. The silly girl thought he was waiting for her.
Chang Kun smiled and said politely, "Father, this is only right."
A son-in-law who doesn't bring a gift when returning to his wife's parents' home for the first time? His father-in-law might kick him out...
Even if your family is struggling financially, you can't just bring half a pound of sweet potato flour and go empty-handed!
Cheng Jie looked the younger sister up and down, then turned to Chang Kun and nodded: "Not bad, they both look quite well."
Originally, he, as the eldest brother, didn't say he had to be present when his younger sister returned to her parents' home. But since she was the younger sister he had raised since she was a child, he was always worried that she wouldn't feel comfortable in another family.
Judging from the younger sister's complexion and mental state, she seems to be getting used to life at the Chang family's house.
Upon hearing her older brother say that she looked well, Cheng Min couldn't help but glance at her husband.
These past two days, Liu Meifen has been forcing so many supplements on me, and I've been constantly being 'watered' by men. How could my complexion not be good?
"Alright, Dad, Big Brother, let's go inside quickly. There are so many people watching in the alley!"
Cheng Min, a new bride, was still a little embarrassed by the stares of her neighbors.
She nodded and greeted the elderly people around her, then pulled Chang Kun and quickly hid in her own courtyard.
"It's all thanks to Xiao Kun who understands me. I knew you would definitely send tiger bone wine." Cheng Rongjiang packed up the gift box, holding the tiger bone wine like a precious treasure and laughing happily.
"Let's have a couple of drinks at noon today. Cheng Jie is no good; every time I drink with him, he's passed out after just a couple of sips!"
Cheng Jie gave a wry smile: "Dad, how old am I? Why are you still calling me 'boy'?!"
"Hmph! No matter how old you are, you're still my son! Even if we're not married, I'm still going to call you 'kid'!" Cheng Rongjiang said, getting a little angry as he glared at Cheng Jie.
"Look at your younger sister, she's already married, and you're still dragging your feet. Do you think your dad's life is too comfortable?"
Seeing her older brother being scolded, Cheng Min covered her mouth and chuckled. Her older brother was really something; no matter how many times their father urged him, he refused to go on blind dates. This had become a major worry for their father.
Seeing Cheng Jie's embarrassment, Chang Kun quickly stepped forward to change the subject: "Dad, what are we having for lunch?"
"You guys came without having breakfast?" Cheng Rongjiang was taken aback, then directed Cheng Jie, "Hurry up and cook the dishes, let's eat early."
"No!" Chang Kun quickly stopped him. "Dad, brother, we ate at home before coming, sigh..."
"What's wrong?" Cheng Rongjiang asked, puzzled. Why was he sighing after eating?
Chang Kun and Cheng Min exchanged a wry smile: "You tell Dad to keep lunch simple so we can both have a break."
Cheng Min had gotten quite tired of the food these past few days, and she chattered excitedly to her father, "Dad, guess what we've been eating these past two days?"
"What could it be? It must be something good! I can tell just by looking at you two, your faces are practically glowing red!"
"Hmph! The day before yesterday, I had stewed old hen with angelica root for lunch, and stewed black-boned chicken with yam for dinner. Yesterday, I had stewed pigeon with codonopsis root and stewed pork kidney with eucommia bark. I'm getting a little scared when it's mealtime..."
Cheng Rongjiang laughed, pointing at Cheng Min: "Your mother-in-law did all of this, didn't she? She's so good to you, you should be secretly happy!"
He had met Liu Meifen, his in-law, a few times and knew she was a good person, but he didn't expect her to treat his daughter so well.
These stewed dishes are something that most families wouldn't eat, even during the Lunar New Year.
"Dad, Big Brother, let's skip the meat dishes for lunch, just stir-fry some vegetables, let Xiaomin and me rest for a bit."
Hearing Chang Kun say this, Cheng Rongjiang waved his hand dismissively: "You, as the son-in-law, are starting to boss people around? When you come to me, how can you just sit back and do nothing!"
"Not only will there be meat, but since it's my first time returning home to my parents' house, you have to have a couple of drinks with me!"
Chang Kun smiled wryly and exchanged a glance with Cheng Min.
When I arrived at my father-in-law's house, my stomach still couldn't escape the torment!
