Zhuang Yan was busy preparing the ingredients in the kitchen when a tall man wearing an apron suddenly squeezed into the kitchen. He took a look and saw that it was his son who was so busy every day that he had no time to call them.

“Xiao Liu, why are you here? Didn’t you go to register your marriage with Xiao Rou?” he asked solemnly.

“Where’s Xiao Rou?”

Zhuang Liu rolled up his sleeves. “Rourou is talking to my mom outside.”

Seeing that his son’s hands were already wet, Zhuang Yan quickly stopped him. “You must be tired from work. Leave the cooking to me. I don’t have anything to do, so I decided to learn howto cook.”

“When I was young, I was always busy with work and didn’t have time to spend with your mother. I didn’t do many things that I promised her back then. After you and Rourou’s wedding, I’ll travel around the world with your mother. I’ll accompany her wherever she wants to go.”

Zhuang Liu suddenly envied his father. “Dad, why don’t you come back and manage the company? I think you’re still young.”

Zhuang Yan didn’t want to go back. “No, no, no. This is the era of young people like you. The Zhuang family will depend on you in the future.”

“Dad, I think the company still needs you,” Zhuang Liu said as he processed the ingredients.

Zhuang Yan didn’t want to go back. His life was comfortable now. He watched television with his beloved wife every day, did charity, traveled, and even cooked together to cultivate their relationship when he returned home. He was old, not stupid. He would not go back to manage the company.

“What are you two talking about?” Shen Jing appeared at the door with Tan Rou. “Hurry up and cook. Rourou and I are waiting to eat. we’ll give you a score to see who’s the most competent husband between you and Xiao Liu.”

“When did you decide to do that?”

“We just did. Didn’t Xiao Liu tell you?” Shen Jing replied.

Zhuang Yan glanced at his son and found that Zhuang Liu had already prepared a large plate of Black Tiger Prawns.

“Good boy, you secretly processed so many ingredients when Dad wasn’t paying attention! I can’t lose to you.”

Therefore, Zhuang Yan quickly threw himself into processing the ingredients.

Tan Rou was amused by the father and son. She said softly, “Dad and Ah Liu are so hardworking.”

Shen Jing covered her mouth and laughed. “Don’t underestimate a man’s desire to win. If you ask him to cook, he won’t be happy, but if you can find someone to compete with, let alone cooking; even if it’s going to be a ballet dance, he’ll put in all his energy to compete.”

The father and son of the Zhuang family occupied the kitchen, leaving the chefs at home with no place to go. They could only stand at the door and see if the employer needed them.

Soon, Zhuang Liu and Zhuang Yan served a table of dishes. There were meat, vegetables, and soup. It looked very sumptuous.

“Rourou, try this prawn,” Zhuang Liu said to Tan Rou. “I made it especially for you.”

“Baby, quickly eat this fried meat stuffed with tofu. It won’t taste good if it gets cold,” Zhuang Yan said solemnly to Shen Jing.

Tan Rou and Shen Jing both tasted their husbands’ cooking and gave high praise, but they didn’t say who won.

Zhuang Liu and Zhuang Yan were still arguing about who won. Tan Rou only felt that this behavior was very childish. One was the current head of the Zhuang family, and the other was the former head of the Zhuang family. The two of them were known for being cold and distant outside, but when they returned home, they had become children who liked to fight for first place. It was very interesting.

“Rourou, do you think my cooking is better or my dad’s cooking is better?” Zhuang Liu asked expectantly.

“Honey, who do you think cooked better?” asked Zhuang Yan.

Shen Jing and Tan Rou looked at each other. They both said that their husbands cooked well. Although the father and son were not very satisfied with this result, it did not matter. As long as their wife liked it, it was fine.

Shen Jing secretly told Tan Rou that she must praise her husband’s cooking so that she wouldn’t have to cook for herself.

Tan Rou wanted to say that they would hire a nanny, but she thought about it again. They had to cook for themselves. She did not like outsiders being in their house all the time so it was necessary to cook for themselves.

“Xiao Rou, this is something that I have to pass down to you.”

Tan Rou asked curiously, “Mom, everyone asks their daughter-in-law to do housework at home. Are you different from others?”

Shen Jing replied, “Compared to sons, I like daughters more. So, you will be my biological daughter in the future. I will definitely love you more.”
