My buildings have attributes

Aunt Yang spoke casually, but she was deeply moved because she never expected that her mother would remember her story.

"That's good. If there's anything you need, just tell us. If you need our help, don't hesitate to ask. We're all good friends." Mrs. Chen said sincerely to Aunt Yang.

Mrs. Chen really liked Aunt Yang; in her heart, she had long considered her one of her own.

"Okay, I understand. You can put it away now. Haha," Aunt Yang said with a smile.

However, at that very moment, Chen's mother finished washing the vegetables.

Then Chen's mother immediately said, "Okay, the vegetables are washed, let's get started."

"Sure, but what do you want to do?" Aunt Yang replied immediately upon seeing this.

"How many dishes should we make? Ah, six, I guess: sweet and sour pork, hairy crabs..." Mrs. Chen said with a smile.

"Okay, sure. Let's begin," Aunt Yang replied with a smile.

Then the two of them started busying themselves with preparing lunch...

"Sure, it smells so good." Then Aunt Yang praised Chen's mother.

"Haha, really? It's alright, isn't it? But I think my cooking skills aren't as good as yours," Mrs. Chen said with a smile.

Seeing this, Aunt Yang immediately said, "How could that be? I could tell from your technique and the smell that you're doing a good job."

"Oh well, never mind, I won't say any more. You'll know once you try it in a bit." Just then, Chen's mother, who was standing to the side, spoke up again.

Seeing this, Aunt Yang smiled and nodded...

However, Li Lili was still in the living room at this time, but she was playing on her phone and reporting the real-time situation at home to Chen Ling.

Li Lili, feeling guilty, began editing and sent the message to Chen Ling.

"I'm in for a treat today! Mom's going to treat me nicely. I think it's been ages since I've had Mom's cooking. Hmm, I'm really in luck today, so happy! Someone else isn't getting any." Li Lili sent the message with a smile on her face.

Upon seeing the message, Chen Ling immediately laughed. He then replied, "Haha, this hero really deserves a good reward. It was just a meal that Mom settled, why didn't you try to raise the price?"

After sending the message, Chen Ling's smile deepened...

Chapter 1 A Deep Smile

After receiving Chen Ling's text message, Li Lili immediately started smiling. She then hurriedly began composing a reply.

"This is already very good, at least I'm satisfied," Li Lili replied happily.

After replying to the message, Li Lili started smiling again. She felt as if she had reached the pinnacle of her life, experiencing a strange and powerful sense of accomplishment.

"Haha, so you're content with what you have, that's great, not bad at all," Chen Ling replied with a smile.

After chatting with Li Lili for a while, Chen Ling got busy...

However, Li Lili lived a leisurely life.

Just then, Chen's mother came out of the kitchen and said with a smile, "Xiaoxue, would you like some sweet porridge or savory soup?"

"Oh, I'd like some corn porridge. Is that alright?" Li Lili replied upon seeing this.

Li Lili is a very honest person. Since Chen's mother asked, she just answered directly.

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Chen immediately smiled and said, "Yes, yes, that's fine. Why wouldn't you say that? Haha. We just wanted to cook for you, so whatever you want to eat, that's what we'll eat. I came out to ask you because I wanted to see your opinion, right?"

"Okay, that's fine then. It'll save Chen Ling from thinking I'm making a fuss if he finds out later," Li Lili replied with a smile.

Li Lili was already a little worried, afraid that Chen Ling would think she was troubling Chen's mother, so she smiled and said.

Just then, Chen's mother smiled and replied, "Even if he knows, so what? You know, it's perfectly normal. Soup is a must when cooking, and asking for your opinion is perfectly normal. What's there to blame him for? No, he won't. You're overthinking it."

"Yes, yes, if that's the case, then that's really great, I can finally relax. Haha." Li Lili said with a smile after hearing that.

Then, Chen's mother immediately smiled and nodded, and then said, "Yes, yes, that's exactly how it is. So you don't need to worry about it. You can watch TV here for a while, I'm coming over."

“Okay,” Li Lili replied.

After speaking with Li Lili, Chen's mother immediately returned to the kitchen. Li Lili, however, turned back to continue watching her TV drama.

After a while, Mr. Chen, who had gone out to play, returned from outside.

Then, after Mr. Chen entered, he saw Li Lili watching TV in the living room. Mr. Chen immediately looked around but still couldn't see Mrs. Chen. Then, Mr. Chen asked with a smile, "Xiaoxue, where's your mother?"

Because Li Lili was so engrossed in watching, she hadn't noticed Chen's father returning. So when she heard his voice, she was truly taken aback.

"Oh, Dad, when did you get back? I didn't see you come back yet, you startled me!" Just then, Li Lili asked in surprise.

"I just got back. What's up? You seem so engrossed in watching TV," Mr. Chen replied with a smile.

Then, Li Lili nodded and continued, "Hmm, it's alright. By the way, what did you ask me just now? I forgot."

"Nothing much, just asking you, where's your mother? Did she go out?" Mr. Chen said with a smile.

"Oh, it's my mom. She's cooking in the kitchen and hasn't gone out. What's wrong?" Li Lili replied immediately.

"Cooking? What's going on? Why did he suddenly decide to cook?" Mr. Chen asked in surprise after hearing this.

However, at that moment, Li Lili calmly smiled and said, "It's nothing, she just wanted to treat me. Hehe. What's wrong? Is it such a big deal that my mom is making such a fuss about cooking? I think it's fine, don't you think?"

"Well, if you put it that way, there's nothing wrong with it. But I just think your mom seems to enjoy cooking, haha," Mr. Chen said with a smile.

“Yes, as long as it’s something she’s willing to do, she’ll definitely be happy. By the way, didn’t my mom help you cook a while ago? What’s wrong? Have you forgotten about it so quickly?” Li Lili turned to look at Mr. Chen and asked seriously.

"Ah, haha, this... if you hadn't mentioned it, I would have completely forgotten about it. It's so embarrassing," Mr. Chen said with an embarrassed smile after hearing this.

Just then, Li Lili smiled and said, "Hmm, if that's how you put it, then there's nothing wrong with it, right? You have such a bad memory. I really don't know what to do about it."

"Hey, this isn't a big deal, why are you so bothered by it?" Mr. Chen noticed Li Lili's unusual behavior and quickly asked.

Then Li Lili nodded slightly, and then said with a smile, "Ah, if that's how you put it, then there's nothing I can do. You see."

"Oh, okay, I don't think I'm anything else. It's alright," Mr. Chen said with a faint smile.

Just then, Mr. Chen spoke up again, saying, "Your mother probably doesn't even know I'll be back so early."

"Yes, that's right. Mom was just saying she didn't know when you'd be back, and she didn't want to rush you, haha," Li Lili nodded in response.

"Oh, what's the big deal? I knew I'd be back, right? I don't know what your mom was so excited about. She was even thinking I wasn't coming back." Then, seeing Mr. Chen standing to the side, she quickly said with a smile.

Chapter 1082 A Deep Smile 2

Just then, after hearing what Mr. Chen said, Li Lili couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Li Lili genuinely felt that Mr. Chen was being ridiculous.

Then Li Lili laughed and replied, "Dad, isn't it hilarious how you talk? You're like a child, throwing a tantrum with Mom!"

"Oh, it's not that serious. There's nothing going on. You're overthinking it," Mr. Chen said with a smile, shaking his head.

"Yes, yes, that's true. As long as it's not there, I'm relieved," Li Lili nodded in response.

After Li Lili finished speaking, her father laughed and said, "Haha, yes, that's what I thought too. Why make a fuss over nothing? You're just wasting time."

"Dad, you went out to play this morning without taking Mom with you? Aren't you afraid she'll be angry with you? After all, Mom gets really bored at home by herself," Li Lili asked Mr. Chen.

Li Lili thought about how carefree Chen's father seemed every day, and that sparked her curiosity.

"You'll have to ask your mother about that. I've never said she can't go out with me. On the contrary, I always like to bring her along. But there's nothing I can do. Your mother is always unwilling. What can I do? You see?" At this moment, Mr. Chen spoke up, looking quite helpless.

Upon seeing this, Li Lili immediately started laughing.

After a while, Li Lili spoke up again, saying, "Dad, then this is your problem. You always take Mom to places she's not interested in, so she definitely won't want to go with you, right? If the places we go are more interesting and can attract her, I don't believe she wouldn't want to go."

Li Lili understood Chen's mother's thoughts very well, so she began to speak on her behalf. When Li Lili said these words, she was actually very clear in her heart. Because Li Lili knew that this issue wasn't just something Chen's mother disliked; she herself was also very concerned about it.

"Oh, is that so? But I think I'm alright. The places I took him to weren't that boring," Mr. Chen said with a smile.

As Mr. Chen spoke, he carefully recalled the situation and realized that it was indeed the case, without any problems. So he quickly spoke to Li Lili and began to explain very seriously.

“Well, if that’s what you think, I don’t even know how to explain it to you. Anyway, how can I put it? I can’t really explain it. I can only tell you that women understand women, right? I understand what my mom is thinking. For example, if you take him to visit your friends and play chess together, he’ll definitely be bored, right? If you take him out for a walk, I think it would be much better.” Li Lili began to earnestly persuade Mr. Chen from the side.

Just then, after Li Lili finished speaking, Chen's father seemed to have taken some of her words to heart.

Then, Mr. Chen said with some doubt, "Oh, is that so? Maybe I was just thinking too simply. That explains why he didn't want to go out with me late at night. Well, I guess I need to think more about what to do."

"Yes, yes, it's good that you know," Li Lili nodded and said with a smile.

However, at this moment, Chen's father, who was standing to the side, spoke up again: "Oh, right, there's one more thing."

"What's wrong?" Li Lili asked curiously upon seeing this.

"Haha, well, I just wanted to ask you something. What do you women like?" Mr. Chen asked somewhat shyly.

"What do you like? What's wrong? What gift are you going to give your mother? Let me think... What do you like? Oh, wait, is there any holiday these days? You want to give your mother a gift? Oh, is your mother's birthday coming up soon?" Just then, Li Lili answered Chen's father's question while thinking again, and then quickly spoke up.

“Yes, your mother’s birthday is in a few days, and I need to hurry up and choose a gift she likes.” Then, Mr. Chen said frankly.

Seeing my father's expression, Li Lili immediately started laughing, and then quickly replied, "Oh, is that so? But there's still something I don't understand. You and Mom have been married for so many years, why don't you know what Mom likes?"

"Ah, I know that. I've already given them all. Think about it, birthdays, wedding anniversaries, Valentine's Day, Children's Day, and all sorts of other holidays, I haven't missed a single one. I've been giving gifts for so many years, what kind of gift haven't I given? I really don't know what else to give." Mr. Chen replied helplessly.

When Mr. Chen got to this point, all he could think of were the times he used to give gifts, and then he felt really powerless.

Just then, Li Lili smiled and then quickly said, "Haha, so that's what you mean. Okay, then I'll try to find out what they're thinking for you these next couple of days. As for the specifics, you'll just have to wait for my good news, okay?"

"Yes, yes, that's great, it's perfect, thank you so much, Xiaoxue." Mr. Chen replied happily upon seeing this.

However, just as Mr. Chen finished speaking, Mrs. Chen came out of the kitchen.

Then Mrs. Chen saw Mr. Chen, who was all smiles, and she started to smile too.

Chen's mother immediately asked Chen's father, "Why are you back so soon? I thought you were going to wait a while longer."

Chapter 1083 A Surprise and an Unexpected Turn of Events

Looking at Mrs. Chen's expression, Mr. Chen couldn't help but smile. He thought to himself, "I only came back a little early, yet I've brought Mrs. Chen such a happy smile." Mr. Chen felt a surge of satisfaction.

"Haha, are you surprised? Are you taken aback?" Mr. Chen turned around and replied with a smile.

"Haha, what's there to be surprised about? I was just coming back for dinner anyway, why wouldn't I come back? Besides, you're coming back for dinner and I'm the one cooking, shouldn't you be surprised?" Mrs. Chen asked in return.

Just then, Mr. Chen smiled and nodded, saying, "Yes, you're absolutely right. I understand now. That's exactly how it is. I'm also deeply surprised and delighted. I'm so happy! Haha."

"Just be happy, don't worry about anything else. Just eat more later." At this moment, Mrs. Chen quickly spoke up with a smile.

Then Li Lili started smiling and quickly asked, "Mom and Dad, may I bother you for a moment?"
