The daughter who had been married off for several years, with her son and daughter already in their teens, was receiving such treatment from her family for the first time.
Not only did they wait specifically for them to eat, but they also prepared such a sumptuous meal, causing Gu Chunxia's eyes to turn red.
Zhao JianShe quietly tugged at Gu Chunxia's clothing in private.
Experiencing such warmth for the first time, and seeing his wife's teary eyes, Zhao JianShe felt uncomfortable in his heart too.
Accompanying Gu Chunxia to her parents' home on the second day of each year was probably the hardest day of the year for him. But because she had married far away, it was the only chance she had to return home each year. Even though he faced indifference at the Gu Family, he would still accompany her back.
"Mom, have a piece of chicken; the dishes Lingling cooked are really delicious," said nineteen-year-old Zhao Jingmiao with a smile.
"Mom, have this chicken leg," Zhao Xuefei said, transferring the chicken leg Gu Lingling had given to him into Gu Chunxia's bowl, "This chicken is really tasty."
He had never eaten a chicken leg before and never imagined getting one today.
In their family, Grandma only favored the children of his younger uncle, giving them the good food first, and Zhao Xuefei always ended up eating leftovers.
If there weren't any leftovers, he could only watch.
But today was different. Gu Lingling directly said that the two chicken legs were for the two youngest in the family, so one was given to Li Yujiao and the other to him.
Zhao Xuefei immediately felt it was impossible.
Seeing his mother so uncomfortable, he instinctively moved the chicken leg into her bowl.
Gu Lingling nodded to herself, recognizing that both her eldest aunt and uncle were honest people and raised their children well.
Both children were kind, especially Zhao Jingmiao, who, perhaps due to her mother's situation at the Zhao Family, carried a sense of competence.
Gu Lingling thought, when the policies improved in the future, given any chance, her older cousin would surely be impressive.
She regretted that in her past life she paid too little attention to her eldest aunt's family and didn't know what happened to her cousin later.
"Sister, look at you," Gu Chunmei joked with a laugh, "Hurry up and eat, eat."
"Whenever you want to come back in the future, just come home with JianShe for a few days," Old Sir Gu said, also feeling uncomfortable, as he placed food in his daughter's bowl, "Eat more."
This daughter had done a lot of work since she was young because she was the eldest in the family, but because she was not talkative, she never gained Old Mrs. Gu's favor.
She was married off to such a faraway place, but fortunately, Zhao JianShe was a good man who treated her well.
But that Zhao Family… Alas… Old Sir Gu sighed in his heart.
Gu Lingling never thought that her original intention to entertain her two aunts well would move her eldest aunt so deeply, leaving her momentarily speechless.
She could only lower her head to eat.
"Yes, hurry up and eat, eat." Gu Chunxia moved the chicken leg in her bowl into Gu Lingling's bowl, "Lingling eat more."
Gu Lingling, "… Better let Xuefei eat it."
After speaking, she placed the chicken leg back into Zhao Xuefei's bowl.
"Stop pushing it back and forth, just eat it," Gu Lingling said, seeing that Zhao Xuefei didn't move his chopsticks.
Zhao Xuefei moved his mouth, eventually lowering his head to take a bite of the chicken leg, and in that moment, a tear fell into his bowl.
After lunch, Gu Chunxia and Gu Chunmei competed to wash the dishes, pushing the three cousins out, "Go play by yourselves, stop being eyesores here."
Gu Lingling's change was quite significant, and Li Yujiao still hadn't adapted.
"Gu Lingling, you must have had some sort of shock," Li Yujiao wouldn't call Gu Lingling 'sister' when no one was around, and Gu Lingling didn't mind before.
Who knew that after saying this, Gu Lingling would flick her forehead.
Li Yujiao held her forehead in pain, glaring at Gu Lingling with big eyes, looking like she was about to get angry, but her pout was adorable.
Gu Lingling couldn't resist pinching her puffed-up cheeks, "Call me sister, understand?"
Zhao Jingmiao stood by laughing straight.
