Aunt Yang, who was standing to the side, looked at Chen's mother with some surprise, so she immediately asked, "Okay, what are you looking for?"

"No, I was thinking of cooking lunch. Let's see what we can make?" Mrs. Chen quickly replied after hearing this.

"Oh, is that how it is? I understand now. Well, see what you need to prepare. I'm going to get busy outside." Aunt Yang said with a smile as soon as she saw this.

Then we saw Aunt Yang turn around and walk outside.

"Sister Yang, it's alright. You've been busy all morning. Why don't you sit down and rest for a while? There's not that much for you to handle. Why don't you rest there for a bit?" Chen's mother said loudly as soon as she saw Sister Yang turn and walk away.

"Okay, sure," Aunt Yang said with a smile.

Then Li Lili changed her clothes and came out of the room, saying, "Aunt Yang, come and play with me for a while."

"I'll play with you for a while, okay?" Aunt Yang replied after hearing this.

Just then, Li Lili appeared beside him and said with a smile, "Hey, come on over here. Let's chat for a bit, and let my mom cook. She really wants to show off her cooking skills today."

"Okay, then let her do it today," Aunt Yang said with a smile.

Then Li Lili, who was standing next to her, quickly spoke up with a smile, saying, "Auntie, there's something I haven't asked you yet. You did so well in junior high, why didn't you open a small restaurant or anything like that?"

"Doing business is just not my thing. My cooking skills are alright, but I don't have the business acumen. Besides, you need capital to do business, and I don't have that much capital," Aunt Yang quickly said with a smile.

Hearing this, Li Lili could only nod helplessly.

“Is that so?” Li Lili replied.

Li Lili could really understand Aunt Yang's heartache. At that moment, looking at Aunt Yang, he also felt a little lost and sad.

"Oh, it's alright. It's fine like this. It's simple. Although we're not rich, we can manage to live a comfortable life. I don't have any other requests. I just hope that my son and daughter-in-law can be a little happier." Aunt Yang said calmly from the side.

This is what it's like to be a mother. No matter what, the first thing you think of is always your child.

"Aunt Yang, you're such a kind person," Li Lili said with a smile to Aunt Yang.

Then Aunt Yang smiled and said, "I'm not as good as you think. I'm just sticking to my principles and bottom line. Besides, what mother doesn't want her child to be happy? Don't you think so?"

"You're quite right," Li Lili replied calmly.

At that moment, Li Lili felt a little sad. Aunt Yang's words reminded her of her own child.

"Sigh, that's fine. I just feel like I don't have the energy to keep going, and I don't want to keep going. I think... well, this is alright, I'll just make do." Aunt Yang said with a smile.

After hearing this, Li Lili smiled and nodded.

Who can argue with that? That's just how life is, we just get by. Nothing in life is ever perfect.

"Oh, it's okay. Life should always be full of hope. I hope things will get better and better in the future," Li Lili said with a smile.

"I hope your words are auspicious," Mrs. Shen said with a smile upon seeing this.

Just then, Li Lili appeared beside her and said with a smile, "Oh, right, there's something else I want to tell you."

"What's wrong?" Aunt Yang asked immediately upon hearing this.

"When we have lunch later, just be ready to leave as soon as you see me leave," Mrs. Chen said with a smile.

"What does this mean? Ahhh, I understand, I understand." When Aunt Yang first heard what Li Lili said, she didn't understand the meaning behind Li Lili's words. It was only when she answered Li Lili that she suddenly realized what it meant.

"That's exactly what you think. Anyway, we'll just leave in a bit," Li Lili said with a smile, nodding.

"Sigh, sometimes I really envy them. They seem so happy. They love each other so much and have such a dutiful child. Hmm, their lives are just so perfect," Aunt Yang said with a smile.

"I don't know how to explain this to you, but I believe you will have these things too, sooner or later," Li Lili said in a hesitant tone.

However, at that moment, she saw Li Lili standing to the side and quickly said with a smile, "By the way, I'm going to check how my mom's cooking is going. I'll ask her if there's anything I can help with. You can rest here for a while; you've been busy all morning."

"It's alright, I'm not tired either, I'm used to it. You rest here, I'll go see him. You just came from the hospital, you should rest too." Aunt Yang said with a smile after hearing this.

"Aunt Yang, it's alright, I'll be right back. I doubt my mom will really let me help. Please sit here, really, please sit here. It's fine, I'm going now." Just then, Li Lili quickly said with a smile. Then Li Lili stood up and began to walk towards Chen's mother…

However, at that moment, an idea suddenly flashed through Li Lili's mind—a question about people like Aunt Yang. So Li Lili began to think about it…

However, this was just a preliminary idea in Li Lili's mind. She planned to think about how to implement it in detail in the afternoon. But right now, the most important thing was to check on how Chen's mother was doing...

Chapter 872 Warm and Romantic 3

As Li Lili walked towards the kitchen, she was still thinking about what had just flashed through her mind.

The kitchen and living room were very close, and Li Lili quickly walked into the kitchen.

Seeing Chen's mother busy at work, Li Lili quickly asked, "Mom, is there anything I can help you with?"

"Xiaoxue, what brings you here? There's nothing here, nothing that you need help with. You should go back and rest. The vegetables have all been washed, and there's nothing else." Upon hearing this, Chen's mother quickly replied.

However, at that moment, he saw Li Lili again and nodded slightly.

Then Li Lili replied, "Okay, then I won't cause you any more trouble. The main thing is that this is a token of your and your father's affection, and I don't want to keep you waiting."

"While it's not as exaggerated as you make it out to be, you're not wrong either. Why don't you go and rest over there? I'll take care of everything," Mrs. Chen said with a smile.

“Yes, yes, it’s more sincere to do it yourself. Okay then, you can do it here, I won’t bother you anymore.” Then Li Lili said with a smile.

Just then, Li Lili, who was standing to the side, quickly smiled and said, "Then I'll be going now."

Seeing this, Chen's mother quickly replied, "Oh, okay, okay, you can go back now."

So Li Lili turned around and walked back, leaving Chen's mother alone to busy herself there.

Just then, Chen's mother, who was standing to the side, said with a smile, "Watch me at noon today."

Li Lili quickly returned to the living room, and upon seeing Aunt Yang, she immediately smiled and said, "See, I guessed it! Of course, my mom sent me back and didn't let me stay to help."

"Haha, then you stay here and rest for a while," Aunt Yang said with a smile.

However, at that moment, Li Lili spoke up, saying, "I suddenly have something to do and I'm going back to my room first. You can watch TV here for a while."

"It's not really appropriate for me to watch TV here. Look, your mother is still busy in the kitchen. It would be too boring for me to just sit here and watch TV. I'll go tidy up my things," Aunt Yang said with a smile after hearing this.

Then Li Lili, who was standing nearby, quickly replied, "Oh, Aunt Yang, just stay here. We're family, we don't have so many worries. How could you not know? There's nothing to do, is there? Besides, you've been busy all morning. There's only so much work to do, nothing more. Just stay here peacefully. I just remembered something and need to write it down. I can't stay here with you, but it's okay, you can watch TV here, it's fine."

"Alright then, if you have something to do, go ahead and do it. Don't let me hold you back from your work. Let me see what I can do," Aunt Yang continued.

Then Li Lili began to say very seriously, "Nothing's wrong, you don't have to do anything, just stay here watching your TV series, really, okay, okay, I'm not talking to you anymore, I'm going back to my room, or this inspiration will be gone again."

"Okay, then you should go back and get busy," Aunt Yang replied quickly upon seeing this.

Actually, after a busy morning, Aunt Yang had done almost all the housework, and there was nothing left for her to do.

So Aunt Yang listened to Li Lili's advice and started watching TV dramas. However, Aunt Yang still felt uneasy, wondering how she could let Chen's mother go and do all the work while she stayed idle.

Aunt Yang then walked towards the kitchen and said to Mrs. Chen with a smile, "Let me help you."

“I can handle this myself. Why did you come here again so soon after Xiaoxue left? I don’t need your help. Go back now,” Mrs. Chen said with a smile.

"I don't have any work to do right now. Sigh," Aunt Yang said with distress.

Then Aunt Yang, who was standing nearby, quickly said with a smile, "Oh, no, no, that's no need. You should go and rest for a while. I really don't need any more help."

"Alright then," Aunt Yang could only nod in reply.

Then Aunt Yang returned to the living room and started watching TV, while Li Lili was in her room, writing down her thoughts.

For Chen's mother, she is currently preparing a loving lunch for her beloved.

After quite some time, Mrs. Chen's lunch was ready. Then Mrs. Chen came out of the kitchen.

"It's already past midnight, why haven't they come back yet?" After coming out, Chen's mother checked the time and then spoke softly.

Hearing the voice, Aunt Yang, who was sitting nearby, immediately turned to look at Chen's mother and said with a smile, "Are you done with your work?"

"Okay, I'll go bring all the dishes out." Then Mrs. Chen nodded and said with a smile.

Then, Chen's mother started walking towards the kitchen again, carrying dishes one by one. Of course, Aunt Yang wanted to help during this time, but Chen's mother was reluctant to go.

Then I saw Chen's mother put all the dishes on the dining table...

Just then, Li Lili heard the noise outside and came out.

"Oh, Mom, you've finished cooking! It looks so delicious. Dad is so lucky. When he comes home and sees all this food you made for him, he'll be overjoyed. This is so romantic!" Li Lili began to speak in an exaggerated tone.

Aunt Yang, who was standing to the side, nodded in agreement, and then said with a smile, "Yes, it is indeed very cozy. Just thinking about it makes me feel happy."

"Why are you two so agitated? He hasn't come back yet. It's already past midnight, and we don't even know if he'll be back for dinner." Then, Chen's mother said, sounding somewhat unhappy.

After hearing what Chen's mother said, Li Lili quickly checked the time; it seemed quite late...

Chapter 873 A chill ran down my spine

But there's nothing we can do about it. Mr. Chen didn't know that Mrs. Chen had prepared a surprise for him today, so he probably had so much fun outside that he forgot about the time.

Then Li Lili tentatively asked Chen's mother, "Mom, how about I call Dad and ask him to come home for dinner?"

"Don't call him. Let him come back or not, it's up to him," Chen's mother said defiantly.

"Ah, Dad didn't know you cooked for him yourself, otherwise he wouldn't have been reluctant to come back, right?" Li Lili said, comforting Chen's mother.

Then Aunt Yang, who was standing nearby, quickly chimed in with a smile, "Yes, yes, that's right. Don't think about it so much. If he knew, he would have come back long ago."

"Even if I didn't cook, it's mealtime and he's not coming home for dinner now. Honestly. The more I think about it, the angrier I get." Mrs. Chen said angrily.

"Don't think so much about it. Dad definitely didn't mean that. Just stop overthinking it," Li Lili said with a smile to Chen's mother.

However, when Chen's mother heard this, she didn't take it to heart. Instead, she shook her head angrily and then smiled and said, "Whatever, I don't want to care anymore. Let's not ask him."

"Then I'll go call Dad," Li Lili said quickly.

At this moment, Chen's mother immediately spoke up to Li Lili in a very serious tone, "Hey, please don't, don't let him hit you, let's see what he's up to."

After hearing what Chen's mother said, Li Lili knew that Chen's mother must be sulking and saying that on purpose. So she smiled at Chen's mother, then took out her phone and started calling Chen's father.

"Wait a minute, Mom." Li Lili said to Chen's mother while dialing the phone.

However, at that moment, they saw Li Lili dialing a phone number quickly, and then they heard Chen's father's voice.

It turned out that after receiving the call, Mr. Chen immediately started talking to Li Lili.

Then, Chen's father hurriedly asked Li Lili, "Hey, Xiaoxue, what's wrong with the phone call? What's the matter?"

"Oh, Dad, where are you right now?" Li Lili asked immediately after hearing this.

"I'm still at your uncle's house. I'll go back for dinner in a bit. I still have some things to finish," Mr. Chen quickly replied.

However, after hearing what Mr. Chen said, Li Lili first turned to look at Mrs. Chen's actions, and then softly said to Mr. Chen, "The food is ready, hurry back."
