Du Wenjuan insisted on making them feel the warmth of family connection by cooking a meal for them at home.

Jiang Wang, at the age of twenty-eight, seemed to have just realized that his biological parents were quite skilled in cooking.

Peng Jiahui was a true native of Hongcheng, cooking dishes like steamed vegetables and lotus root soup just like the grandparents, with rich seasoning and fragrant fried fish.

Du Wenjuan, on the other hand, excelled in Southeastern cuisine, slow-cooking with rich oil and red sauce, making dishes like sweet and sour fish and lion's head meatballs to perfection.

Jiang Wang felt a sense of revelation as he ate, realizing that his childhood memories had been deliberately forgotten to the point of near non-existence. There were still so many memorable things worth remembering.

"Brother has already had two bowls of soup! Mom, your cooking is amazing, I wish I could eat your food every day!" Peng Xingwang's acceptance of the new flavors was surprisingly high, and he quickly finished two bowls of rice.

"Why are you still calling him 'brother'?" Du Wenjuan smiled wryly, "Haven't I taught you? You should call him 'uncle'."

Jiang Wang cleared his throat lightly, feeling a bit uncomfortable being referred to as an uncle.

"Just let the kid enjoy himself, calling me 'uncle' makes me feel old."

Initially, cooking was manageable, but by the third meal, Du Wenjuan's pregnancy symptoms flared up again. She discreetly vomited behind closed doors, not wanting them to know.

Jiang Wang sensed something was amiss and knocked on the door. "Let's go out to eat. It's hard on you to keep doing this."

Du Wenjuan quickly cleaned up and opened the door, looking apologetic. "I'm sorry, it's not a big deal, actually."

She glanced at the fish on the cutting board, reluctant to let go. "I've almost finished cleaning up, it'll be done cooking soon."

"Pregnant women shouldn't inhale cooking fumes," Jiang Wang understood her concern for the fish and vegetables, so he volunteered, "I'll do it. You can just instruct me from the doorway."

He smiled sideways as if he had discovered something.

"It's also a coincidence that I've grown up without anyone teaching me how to cook."

Peng Xingwang was trying to come over to help when he heard this and stuck his little head in, "I want to learn too!"

Du Wenjuan thought it might work and gently taught him how to cut the fish, peel the ginger, and crush the garlic.

It was Jiang Wang's first time learning.

He didn't even know how much oil to put when frying the fish, so Du Wenjuan couldn't help but laugh as she taught him.

Although she was similar in age to him, only five or six years older, she was already quite familiar with household chores.

"Remember, when the oil is hot, sprinkle a pinch of salt and spread it evenly around the pan. That way, the fish won't stick."

Jiang Wang carefully followed her instructions and managed to fry a fish that looked quite decent.

He prepared the meat and vegetable dishes according to her instructions and even made some egg drop soup.
