The neighborhood was old and a little messy, but there were many parking spaces because most of them were rented out. The owners were unwilling to live in them, and even fewer could buy a car.
“Dad, Mom, Brother, Sister-in-law, let’s go up!” Zhao Moqing closed the car door and led the family into a building.
The corridor was a little dim, and the environment was clearly not good.
When they arrived at Qin Lin’s rented apartment, Zhao Moqing took out his key and opened the door. The interior was small and the environment was as bad as the outside.
In the past, when they saw such an environment, Chen Xiao and Zhao Xianhong would definitely wonder if their daughter would suffer. Now, they admired Qin Lin.
Without the help of her parents, her family owed so much money. It was admirable to be able to turn the tables so quickly in this environment, no matter the reason.
As long as one succeeded, the bitterness of the past would be the best foil, making success even more glorious. Otherwise, there wouldn’t be so many successful people who always liked to talk about their difficult past.
In the hall.
Qin Lin and Lin Fen were busy, and the dog beside them was quietly lying on a cushion in the corner.
Lin Fen had specially bought it to sleep.
Seeing that Zhao Moqing had arrived with his family, Qin Lin immediately went forward. “Dad, Mom, Brother, Sister-in-law, you’re here. Come in quickly.”
“Wow, there’s a dog. Qin Lin, when did you have a dog?” Li Jiawen saw the dog as soon as she came in. She went forward in surprise and tried to touch Wang Cai’s head.
But the dog clearly didn’t want to acknowledge her. It cocked its head to one side.
The treatment was completely different from the first time it met Zhao Moqing and Lin Fen.
“…” Li Jiawen.
“In-laws, please sit down.” Lin Fen was a little helpless at the side. After all, her son had done something unkind and secretly collected the marriage certificate without telling the other party.
After Chen Xiao, Zhao Xianhong, Zhao Moyun, and Li Jiawen sat down, Lin Fen said, “Um, I’ll go cook.”
Zhao Moqing pulled Lin Fen back and let her sit down. “Mom, Qin Lin and I will cook for you today. Just wait.”
“Yes, Moqing and I personally made a table of delicacies today to thank you for giving birth to us and allowing us to meet.” Qin Lin smiled and agreed, pulling Zhao Moqing into the kitchen.
The atmosphere outside was a little awkward.
Lin Fen was a little embarrassed. What her son had done was unkind. She was afraid of being blamed.
Chen Xiao was also a little embarrassed. In the past, she had often said in front of her daughter that she would suffer if she followed Qin Lin.
She glanced at her usually eloquent husband, son, and daughter-in-law, hoping the three of them would ease the awkwardness.
Zhao Xianhong, Zhao Moyun, and Li Jiawen were calm at this moment, waiting for Chen Xiao to perform. After all, she was in charge of this family.
Even the dog seemed to sense the unusual atmosphere and looked up questioningly.
“Um, in-laws, do you watch TV?” As the host, Lin Fen spoke first. She took out the remote control and turned on the television.
As soon as the television was turned on, she heard two women pointing at each other and cursing. It was the melodrama that took place in the penthouse.
“In-law, you’re watching this drama too?” Chen Xiao was surprised.
Lin Fen nodded. “Yes, now this killer looks like he’s about to reveal something. I think Female 3 might be the killer.”
Chen Xiao also nodded crazily. “I think so too. She’s the most likely.”
The two of them suddenly started chatting happily. They even sat next to each other, as if they had become super familiar with each other.
“…” Zhao Moyun!
“…” Zhao Xianhong!
When the two men saw the scene in front of them, even with their brains, they could not react.
Only Li Jiawen looked at the two of them and hesitated.
She also felt that Female 3 might be a bad person.
However, the two elders were chatting and it was a special day. It was not appropriate for her to interrupt.
She clearly wanted to participate. It was so uncomfortable to hold it in.
…
The rich aroma of rice was already wafting through the kitchen, intoxicating them.
Zhao Moqing asked in surprise, “It smells so good. Qin Lin, what special rice did you use today?”
“This is specially used to entertain our parents. No one can eat it even if they want to.” Qin Lin smiled and avoided the question.
This was naturally Xiangshui Tribute Rice of Quality 2, taken from the game. It had the attributes of + rich nutrition +2, mellow +2, delicious +2, and vitamin VPP anti-aging +2.
In the past two days, he had gained a lot of Xiangshui Tribute Rice. He had saved a lot in the game, and he had also gained some Quality 2 Xiangshui Tribute Rice. He just didn’t take out any of them.
This thing was not suitable to be taken out in large quantities.
After all, if they couldn’t finish something that even most rich people couldn’t eat, wouldn’t it make people explode in anger?
Especially the Quality 2 Xiangshui Tribute Rice. That was even more heaven-defying. This thing could be kept for the family to eat. As for the Quality 1, other than keeping some, it could only be sold in the game.
Unless he could use game seeds to grow this kind of rice in Youcheng County, then he could take it out in large quantities.
Beside him, there was also a wild grass carp head of Quality 2 and a wild salmon of Quality 2.
It could be said that 90% of the rich in the country could not eat this meal even if they had money.
As for the ordinary seafood on the side, they were just accessories.
“Cut the watermelon and bring it out to them with the strawberries. I’ll cook,” Zhao Moqing said as she picked up the grass carp head beside him and prepared to make fish head soup.
Her cooking skills couldn’t be compared to a real chef’s, but she had no problem cooking at home. Besides, the ingredients were good. As long as she knew how to cook, it would definitely taste good under the attributes of delicious +2 and taste +2.
Qin Lin also picked up a watermelon and cut it. Then, he brought out the washed Quality 2 strawberries.
When he arrived at the hall, he saw Lin Fen and Chen Xiao sitting together and chatting happily. He was clearly stunned.
When had his mother and mother-in-law become so close?
As soon as the Quality 2 watermelons and strawberries were served, Zhao Moyun and Li Jiawen were attracted.
The two of them had eaten that special quality watermelon and strawberry at the villa.
Li Jiawen picked up a strawberry and placed it in her mouth. The deliciousness immediately spread in her mouth. It was still as delicious as before.
Zhao Moyun also picked up a piece of watermelon and tasted it.
He had eaten it once last time and was still thinking about the deliciousness of this watermelon.
Lin Fen also said to Chen Xiao and Zhao Xianhong, “In-laws, try it too. This is a special variety of watermelon and strawberries sold in Xiao Lin’s villa. It’s very delicious.”
As he spoke, he personally handed the couple watermelons and strawberries.
The couple tried it when they heard Lin Fen say that. Then they both looked surprised. It was really very delicious.
They had eaten many watermelons and strawberries in the past, but none of them could compare to this.
Not long after.
The meal was ready.
When Lin Fen invited the family to sit down, Qin Lin also came out with a rice pot. As soon as he opened it, the fragrance of the rice in the pot wafted.
The dog rose instinctively to its feet at the smell of this mellow aroma.
“Why is this rice so fragrant?” Li Jiawen asked in surprise.
As a foodie, she was curious.
“It’s the Xiangshui Tribute Rice. I was lucky enough to buy some,” Qin Lin explained half-heartedly.
“Xiangshui Tribute Rice? I’ve never heard of it. It seems very impressive.” Li Jiawen took out her phone and searched for it curiously. Just the name alone aroused her curiosity.
But when she saw the row of messages that popped up, she was dumbfounded. “Isn’t this rice too awesome?”
She had learned a lot today.
Royal rice was rare and even the rich could not buy it. It had once been sold for 10,000 yuan…
The news was all too shocking.
“What’s wrong?” Zhao Moyun asked curiously when he saw his wife’s expression.
Li Jiawen said nothing and showed him the phone.
“F*ck…” Zhao Moyun cursed. He did not know that there was such expensive rice.
No wonder it was called tribute rice.
Damn it, he opened a KTV and a milk tea shop. He should be considered one of the best among the young people in their 20s, right? But when he saw this information, he felt like he could not afford to eat rice.
“You’re shouting and being rude.” Zhao Xianhong was a teacher and cared a lot about etiquette.
Zhao Moyun did not explain and handed the phone to his father.
Zhao Xianhong looked at Xiangshui Tribute Rice’s introduction and then was not calm either.
What the hell…
“In-law, try this rice.” Lin Fen was very close to Chen Xiao now. She picked up a bowl of rice and handed it to Chen Xiao. “The rice Xiao Lin brought back is very delicious. I can eat it even without the side dishes.”
When Chen Xiao heard this, she took the bowl and took a bite curiously. However, in an instant, the mellow fragrance overflowed in her mouth. The texture and deliciousness made her say, “This rice is really delicious. Where did you buy this rice? Our family will buy dozens of catties tomorrow.”
