After four years of living alone after marrying far away, he went back to his parents' home and

Lan Yujuan heard there was a surprise at home, so she went home early.

As soon as I entered the house, before I even had a chance to change my shoes, I smelled a delicious aroma wafting from the kitchen—the unique scent of crab.

She put down her bag, changed her shoes, washed her hands in the bathroom, wiped her face, and then headed towards the kitchen.

Before she even reached the kitchen door, she heard it being gently pushed open.

Then, Chen Mo, wearing an apron, poked his head out from inside. "You're back?"

"Guess what we're having for dinner tonight?"

Lan Yujuan walked into the kitchen with a curious look on her face. She saw that crabs were still being steamed on the stove and the trash can was already half full of crab shells.

Chen Mo moved a tall stool and sat down next to the stove to dismantle crabs.

The crab roe is placed in a separate bowl, and the crab meat is placed in a separate basin.

Lan Yujuan had seen this setup before and immediately guessed what it meant:

"You wouldn't be thinking of making...crab roe noodles, would you?"

At this moment, Lan Yujuan looked at the countless crabs in the kitchen, hesitant to speak.

"Mmm!" Chen Mo nodded vigorously, smiled, leaned over and kissed her, then sat back down and continued working diligently.

"You like to eat crabs, and the hairy crabs are starting to come into season this fall."

"Although it's not the peak season yet, it's perfect for the holidays, so it's a good time to try something new!"

Lan Yujuan opened her mouth, wanting to tell Chen Mo tactfully that pregnant women should not eat crabs.

But then he thought, although he couldn't eat it himself, Chen Mo himself liked to eat it.

In addition, there are Qin Shuyi and Li Le's two children next door, as well as their own parents and younger sister, so they should all like it.

The crab had already been mostly dismantled, and telling him the truth now would be somewhat disappointing.

Perhaps we should let him have his way and fulfill his wishes.

Wait a moment, the crab roe noodles will be ready. Take a bite or two, then find an excuse to stop eating.

After thinking it through, Lan Yujuan immediately took off an apron, ready to help dismantle the crabs.

"You don't need to help, I can do it. You just got home, go and rest, dinner will be ready soon."

Lan Yujuan shook her head. "That won't work."

"I just learned a new method for dismantling crabs today. It's quick and easy, so I'll give it a try now."

Surprisingly, the method she learned from Zhang Fengjiao at noon for dismantling crabs actually worked.

It was more than twice as fast as she used to dismantle crabs.

Although she can't eat much now, she still enjoys peeling crabs herself.

I was busy until after 7 p.m. before the crab roe noodles were finally ready.

The whole family enjoyed the meal immensely.

Lan's mother wanted to speak up and advise Lan Yujuan, fearing that she might not know that pregnant women cannot eat crabs.

Unexpectedly, her daughter knew exactly what was going on, which put Lan's mother at ease.

After Chen Mosheng finished making the noodles, he didn't even bother to eat himself before staring intently at his wife.

Seeing that she only ate two small bites and then stopped, seemingly unsatisfied, I felt a pang of anxiety.

"What's wrong? Is it that the noodles I made today aren't to your liking?"

As he spoke, Chen Mo quickly picked up his chopsticks and took a bite himself, a look of confusion appearing between his brows.

He tasted it, and it was almost the same as what he used to make.

Lan Yujuan wiped her mouth and smiled gently:

"Maybe my tastes have changed since I got pregnant."

"It's alright, you guys enjoy your meal. I'm happy just watching you eat!"

Chen Mo was clever; even if he didn't know this common knowledge before, he immediately guessed the key point.

So he silently put down his chopsticks and said apologetically:

"It's my fault. I was so happy when I saw the fresh hairy crabs my comrade sent me that I lost my mind."

"Juan'er, can pregnant women not eat crabs?"

After saying that, he handed the bowl of noodles in front of him to Li Le, who was standing next to him:

"Ah Le, eat more this year!"

"I'll stay with your sister-in-law and we'll abstain from certain foods this year. We can eat whatever we want after the baby is born next year."
