“Mum, I plan to visit Qin Xue tomorrow morning, and I haven’t decided when I’ll be back yet, so I’ll have to depend on you to take care of everything at home.” Nangong Shulan had indeed not settled on a date for her return.

So, she decided to tell her mother-in-law in advance to avoid any worry later on.

“Alright, I’ve got it. You relax, don’t hurry. Your dad and I are both well, we can definitely help out if needed.” Mrs. Qin taking over the cooking for her youngest son was merely an added task.

After all, they both had to eat, getting one additional portion ready only required an extra pair of chopsticks.

So Mrs. Qin agreed very readily, which also relieved her daughter-in-law of her worries.

A win-win situation was always welcomed by Mrs. Qin.

“Mm, thank you, mum!” Nangong Shulan was genuinely grateful to her mother-in-law.

Otherwise, it would’ve been tough for her to go see her daughter and leave the household matters behind. In that case, she wouldn’t have peace of mind. Her mother-in-law’s assistance was a boon, at least she did not have to worry about the house anymore.

Even if her husband couldn’t manage to cook, there would be someone to take care of it.

“Do we need to say so much between us? As long as all of you are fine, your dad and I will be relieved.” Mrs Qin has walked in the shoes of a daughter-in-law before.

She knew that it wasn’t easy to be a daughter-in-law, so she didn’t want her daughter-in-law to have as hard a time as she had.

“Mm, I understand.” Nangong Shulan nodded in response.

“Go check if Qin Lei has finished grinding the green balls. If they’re done, bring them here to be made.” Mrs. Qin planned on helping out to speed up the process.

“Okay, I’ll go have a look.” Nangong Shulan got up and headed towards the courtyard.

Mrs. Qin turned her gaze to the delightful chess game unfolding between her husband and grandson.

She picked up her floral tea and took a sip to moisten her throat.

Nangong Shulan entered the living room with Qin Jiale’s clean dish cover in her hands.

Mr. Qin and Qin Yu, on the other hand, brought in the ground green balls and the roasted glutinous rice flour.

The green balls should ideally be eaten as soon as they’re made to prevent them from sticking together, but these were going to Qin Xue.

Therefore, to prevent them from sticking together while transporting, they roasted the glutinous rice flour, rolled the dough balls in it after forming them, and they wouldn’t stick together any longer.

Like the saying ‘many hands make light work’, the four of them quickly finished making a big pot of green balls.

Nangong Shulan found some banana leaves and carefully packed the green balls layer by layer.

She packed a small bag for her mother-in-law and father-in-law, reserved some for their daughter, and the rest was packed for Qin Xue.

Qin Yu picked up a green ball and tasted it. The texture was great, full of chewiness.

He then stuffed another into Qin Jiale’s mouth and passed one to his grandpa.

Nangong Shulan saw this and shook her head, picked up a plate, put a round of green balls on it, and placed it on the chess-playing table for the grandfather-grandson duo.

She also placed some tea on the table. Now they could enjoy their chess game and having refreshments at the same time, quite cosy and carefree.

Seeing the green balls were ready, Mr. Qin and Nangong Shulan went to the kitchen to cook mung bean cake.

“My child’s father, I won’t be home when I go to see Qin Xue. Please don’t work too hard, you should rest more.” Nangong Shulan didn’t want her kind husband to exhaust himself.

“I will be fine, I know my limits.” Qin Lei replied smilingly to his wife.

“You are the pillar of our family. We all depend on you.” Nangong Shulan was well aware of Qin Lei’s temperament.

“You can rest assured, I will get sufficient rest. I have to see Xiao Yu getting married.

Also Jiale, I need to earn money for her college too, so I will take care of myself. I won’t let you worry about me.” Qin Lei assured his beloved wife tenderly..
