Translator: Lonelytree

Mother Xiao knew these people could eat, but she had no idea they could eat so much! They ate so fast that Mother Xiao had to cook another pot of rice.

"Mother Xiao, there's no need to cook anymore." Old Master Gong saw this and quickly stopped her. "They should be full already. You've been busy all day. Come sit down and eat!" If his people were not full, they would go back and eat. They had boxes of instant noodles at home!

Mother Xiao looked at her guests who put down their bowls, and she said hesitantly, "But..."

"Auntie, we're full!" The men at the table said in unison. They wiped their mouths. The eldest young master and Secretary Li weren't lying to them. Auntie Chen's cooking was really delicious.

It would be great if they could eat it every day in the future!

But was it possible?

Maybe it was possible!

The five people's hearts suddenly surged.

Their mission was to keep the old man safe. With the old master's picky taste and thick skin, if he really likes Auntie Chen's food, he would hire her to cook for him every day. When the old master came to the Xiao Family to eat, they would follow him.

However, there was another problem. Five of them were tasked to escort the old master to Taoyuan Village, but only two would remain to protect him. Before they arrived, none of them wanted to stay at Taoyuan Village. It was not that they didn't want to protect their general, but they knew the place would be too peaceful. They were soldiers, and they couldn't get used to a peaceful life. They hoped to return to the battlefield and fight alongside their comrades.

However, after eating this meal, they changed their minds.

Old Master Gong also ate this dinner very happily and contentedly. Before this, he heard from Li Yuanhang and Gong Tianhao that there was an Auntie who was an amazing cook. They said he would love her cooking after he had a taste. Old Master Gong had to admit it was true.

Mother Xiao's cooking skills were not the best he had seen, and she was not as professional as the chefs in the capital city. However, the dishes she made had a great taste. This taste was home and love. She poured her love into her every dish. Everyone who ate them would be wrapped in love.

Old Master Gong noticed that this family was one filled with love and harmony. Old Master Gong spent most of his life in the capital. The first half was on the battlefield, dancing around life and death. In the second half, he was honored for his service, but he lost his wife, son, and daughter-in-law in an accident. He only had a young grandson left. However, due to the busy schedule of a military officer, he ignored his eldest grandson.

If not for the accidental discovery of his grandson's injury, he would never have known his second brother's family would be so cold-blooded and heartless. For the sake of the Gong Family's wealth and power, they had been trying to kill his eldest grandson.

When he found out, he was exceptionally furious. He went to his second brother's house to give him a warning. From then on, Old Master Gong brought his eldest grandson everywhere with him. However, he could never give his grandson the feeling and warmth of a family. The battlefield was not a place for that.

Now, Old Master Gong understood why his picky grandson had such high praise of Mother Xiao's cooking. Her cooking tasted of a mother's love. Old Master Gong felt he owed his eldest grandson. At this point, Old Master Gong smiled and said, "Mother Xiao, your cooking is really delicious!"

Mother Xiao smiled and said, "Old Master, you flatter me! My cooking is only average!"

"You're really too modest!" Old Master Gong smiled and said, "Zhengyang, you're really lucky to have such a capable wife!"
