After seeing off Ni Yang and Mo Qishen, Shangguan Xi returned to the room to open the items Ni Yang and others had brought over.
Inside were seafood products, handmade fish balls, shrimp paste, and peach crisps personally made by Ni Cuihua, all of which were Shangguan Xi’s favorite foods.
"Your mom treats you pretty well," Wu Chenjun said.
Shangguan Xi gave him a glance, "Of course! How could my mom not treat me well?"
Wu Chenjun continued, "It’s not easy to find a good stepmom. Xiaoxi, we should also treat her well in the future."
Good stepmoms are rare, hence the saying goes.
The tail of a wasp, the heart of a stepmother.
"Yeah," Shangguan Xi nodded, "Definitely."
Not long after, the parents and grandmother from the Wu Family returned from outside and upon seeing a pile of items in the living room, asked, "Where did all these come from? Oh! There are seafood too!"
At this time of the year, seafood wasn’t something you could just buy with money.
Shangguan Xi smiled and said, "My mom asked Yangyang and her boyfriend to bring them over."
Old Lady Wu said, "Your mother-in-law is thoughtful, remembering her daughter like that."
Chen Qian said, "I also think Xiaoxi’s mom is really nice, a good person, gentle, and considerate. She’s truly the daughter of the Zheng Family. Although she didn’t grow up in the Zheng Family, the inherent character and temperament have not changed."
Seeing her family praising Ni Cuihua, Shangguan Xi felt very happy.
At noon, Mo Qishen stayed at the Ni Family home for lunch, and if it wasn’t because two elderly were waiting for him back home, he would have liked to stay at the Ni Family for New Year.
After lunch, Ni Yang picked up the brush and red paper she had prepared in the morning to write couplets.
Her writing was powerful and vivid.
Seeing this, Shangguan Xu was full of admiration; Ni Yang’s writing was something he, who had practiced calligraphy for three years, could not match.
Zhao Yu proudly boasted to Little Ni Yun, "How about that? My mom’s writing looks good, right?"
Little Ni Yun said, "Pfft! Your mom is still my sister!"
Zhao Yu: "..."
