Chapter 250: Two hundred fifty-one, the daughter-in-law is going to cook!_1

Following Tian Laosì’s lead, they started shouting energetically, "Time to work, time to work!"

"Plant an extra mu of land today, buy an extra jin of meat tomorrow! Work a bit more today, buy a bag of grain tomorrow!"

"Dong, dong-dong."

Gu Shen couldn’t hold back and burst out laughing right away.

He shook his head; this Fourth Brother really seemed to have an abundance of enthusiasm.

He even had a catchy slogan ready to go.

Of course, he didn’t know that this was something Tian Laosì brainstormed the previous evening while sitting on the kang bed, together with Shen Cuilan.

Driven by Gu Shen’s trust in him, he was determined to bring about a great harvest for the land that Gu Shen had entrusted to him!

He wanted to ensure that the two hundred yuan spent were well worth it!

Tangtang and Ji Pianran were originally asleep, but the sound of the gong instantly woke them up.

The little one, with her sleepy eyes, looked at her mother lying beside her on the bed and asked groggily, "Mommy, what’s that noise outside?"

To tell the truth, in recent years the village had been using loudspeakers to make announcements; gongs were very rarely used anymore.

A sudden sound like that could indeed be a little frightening.

Ji Pianran concentrated and listened intently for a while before suddenly starting to laugh.

"That’s your Uncle Four outside doing some promotion for our fields."

The little one didn’t know what promotion was, and she blinked her curious eyes at Ji Pianran, "Mommy, what is promotion?"

Ji Pianran smiled, "Promotion, well, it’s to tell everyone about the benefits of farming."

Tian Laosì was actually calling on everyone to farm on behalf of Gu Shen.

Tangtang was still young and didn’t quite understand, but she knew what good meant.

If it was good, she liked it!

By this time, Gu Shen was already frying eggs in the kitchen, and after frying the eggs, he casually made two vegetable pancakes, which served as breakfast.

Ji Pianran helped Tangtang wash up, and she also freshened up herself.

By the time the family sat down at the table to have breakfast, it was already half-past eight, and after breakfast, Gu Shen, as usual, took his wife and child to the hospital to visit his father-in-law.

His main reason was to deliver the food.

When they arrived at the hospital, it was already nine o’clock, and the family of three pushed open the door of the ward with laughter and chatter.

Today, Ji Guangsheng got up very early. In the past few days, under Gu Shen’s care, his health had improved significantly compared to before.

He even got out of bed by himself this morning.

Actually, there was nothing wrong with his legs; he was in a wheelchair simply because he was too weak.

He had no strength to walk.

But after Gu Shen’s care, his spirits had lifted a lot, and he had gained strength.

Standing up is an instinct, and as soon as he felt better, he couldn’t wait to do it.

The sun was good today; the sky was a brilliant blue, a rare clear day.

He stood by the window, reluctant to take his eyes off the scene below.

Many people came to the hospital, all with the same expression, their faces drawn long, heads down, hurrying on their way.

Yet even such a sight made Ji Guangsheng feel happy.

He nodded his head and smiled at Wu Shuhui beside him, couldn’t help but exclaim.

"It really is better to be standing up."

Wu Shuhui smiled as well, "It will get better and better."

The two were talking when they heard the door to the ward being pushed open from outside.

"Grandpa! Grandma!"

Tangtang saw the two and immediately smiled with a twinkle in her eyes.

She toddled over to them.

Through these days of interaction, the little one had developed deep affection for her grandparents. It was inherent in the blood connection, further enhanced by their indulgence of Tangtang.

The little one naturally also loved her grandpa and grandma.

Gu Shen put the food on the table, all smiles, "Dad, Mum, it’s time for breakfast!"

Ji Guangsheng nodded, "Alright, alright, alright."

Having said that, she walked toward the dining table.

It was then that Gu Chen realized that Old Zhan had actually managed to stand up on his own, his eyes instantly brimming with delight.

"Dad, it seems your health is improving by the day, congratulations, congratulations."

Ji Pianran also noticed and, seeing her father standing at the window with a smiling face, she felt as though she had returned to her childhood, with sunlight casting over his figure, making him look so tall.

Her eyes slightly teared up, and her beautiful almond eyes glistened with bright droplets, as she smiled wide after a moment, "Dad!"

He had finally stood up. Before, Ji Pianran had always thought her dad was not going to make it, and not just her, even Wu Shuhui and Uncle Guang felt the same.

After all, Ji Guangsheng was old and had contracted such an illness.

Leaving was just a matter of time.

Although Gu Chen said he would help his father-in-law with treatment, to be honest, no one was very confident about it.

After all, how could Gu Chen cure an illness that even the hospital couldn’t?

Everyone was just giving it a try.

But today, Ji Guangsheng’s standing was like a message to everyone that he was indeed getting better with each passing day!

This was undoubtedly great news and also the best affirmation for Gu Chen.

"Look, look,"

Ji Pianran grabbed Gu Chen’s sleeve in her excitement, and although she knew that Gu Chen’s family had seen it, she couldn’t help but repeat it again and again in her excitement.

Gu Chen nodded, "I see, Dad will get even better, don’t worry."

He comforted her in a soft voice.

Gu Chen always treated Ji Pianran tenderly, and now as he looked at her, his eyes shone like stars.

Ji Pianran’s heart quivered, and she immediately reached out and gave Gu Chen a firm hug.

She was truly too excited.

For her, her dad’s health was now the most distressing thing.

But now Gu Chen had solved that problem.

He was really amazing!

In an instant, the pleasant scent from Ji Pianran’s body wafted through her collar and fluttered onto Gu Chen’s face.

He raised an eyebrow, completely unprepared for the usually conservative Ji Pianran to embrace him right in front of her in-laws.

But his body reacted faster than his brain, and the next second, he embraced her without hesitation.

His other hand gently stroked her head.

"Don’t worry, everything will get better."

Having been given a second chance at life, she was his life’s creed.

He would do everything he could to make her happy, joyful.

Ji Pianran pursed her lips, looking at Gu Chen with sincerity, "Thank you, Gu Chen."

She was so grateful that fate had brought this man into her life, and even more grateful for his care and cherishing of her.

Without Gu Chen and his family, she might have already died on that spring morning.

They had given her a second chance at life, and now, Gu Chen had saved her father as well.

Thinking of all this felt like a dream.

Gu Chen reached out and lightly flicked her cute nasal tip, "Alright, let’s make mutton hotpot tonight as a celebration of Dad getting better, how does that sound?"

Actually, Gu Chen had planned to make hotpot, but considering his father-in-law’s condition, he quietly chose to do a mutton dip instead.

Ji Pianran nodded decisively.

"I’ll cook tonight, you just come back and eat after you are done with your work!"

Gu Chen had to take care of his father every day and also work hard to earn money; it was really tough. As his wife, her primary task was to learn how to cook!

To help reduce Gu Chen’s burdens!

Anyway, with Zhuo Guang here, he could teach her.

Hearing this, Gu Chen involuntarily swallowed and looked uncertainly at Ji Pianran, "Wife, maybe I should do it instead."

He really had no confidence in Ji Pianran’s cooking skills!

If it were just him and the little one, it might be fine, but there were seven people to feed, and if it were a failure...
