In ancient times, few families had three meals a day like the original owner's family. Most families had two meals a day, especially in the early days of the new dynasty. Every family that could fill their stomachs was considered a wealthy family.
The original body had not intended to be so high-profile, but the situation was special. There was a pregnant woman in the family, and the original body was not in good health. The barefoot doctor in the village saw her several times and said that she should take some supplements. She was reluctant to buy supplements or meat, so the original body thought that if she was not hungry for three meals, she would take some supplements. In addition, her grandson was young, and she loved him so she changed the three meals a day.
In fact, it was only less than a month after it started, but unfortunately her original body hadn't recovered yet, and she came.
At dinner, all you could see at the table were the men moving their chopsticks quickly. The women with their children refused to give in, and Zhulan ate the cabbage with relish. It is difficult to eat pure and natural pollution-free food in modern times, but it was easy in ancient times. Cabbage was sweet and delicious.
The staple food is fixed after all. Even though the three meals a day are not enough to fill you up, they can ensure you are 70% full. But tonight we ate more than 90% full. Mrs. Li put a lot of cabbage in, and the remaining rice porridge was shared with the grandchildren, so the adults ate a little more.
Zhulan put down her chopsticks first to save her stomach for taking medicine. Zhulan liked children very much. She had been here for a day and didn't dare to come forward in the morning. Now that Zhou Shuren was around, she felt at ease and carefully observed her grandchildren.
The eldest grandson Zhou Mingyun is at the age of being a dog and does not eat well. The second grandson Zhou Mingteng is chubby and strong. The eldest granddaughter Zhou Yushuang is timid and does not dare to look up when eating. The only thing they are good at is cleanliness.
"Yu Shuang came to grandma's place."
Zhao was so frightened that she grabbed her daughter and said, "Mom, is there something wrong with your call for Yushuang?"
Yu Shuang was infected by her mother's tone. The little girl was shaking with fear. If she hadn't bit her lips tightly, she would have probably cried.
Zhulan, "... ..."
She really wanted to curse, what did she say? She just wanted to get close to her granddaughter, but she scared the mother and daughter enough, and she was a little depressed.
Li picked up the last dish and pushed her youngest son over. "Mom, Ming Teng kept saying he missed you today!"
The second grandson, Zhou Mingteng, was young and knew that his grandmother was good to him. He hadn’t seen his grandmother for a day, so he rushed over and said, “Grandma, grandma.”
Zhulan couldn't resist the sound of the baby's voice, it was too cute, she picked up Ming Teng and said, "Let grandma give you a kiss."
The child felt itchy and started giggling. Zhulan's depressed mood improved as she listened to the child's laughter.
Li looked at her brother's wife proudly, her eyes full of disgust. She really looked down on the second brother's family, but she was also happy. The more the second brother's family was like this, the more her mother disliked them and the more she would favor the eldest brother's family.
Zhao bit her lip and lowered her head, her eyes red.
Zhulan saw it from the corner of her eye, and was completely speechless about the second son's wife. She also saw Yushuang's tears falling, and silently recited the Three Character Classic in her heart. The good children were all given maintenance fees by Zhao, and said to Li: "Hurry up and clean up the table."
As she said this, Zhulan put her grandson down, pried open Zhao's hands, and hugged Yushuang, "Okay, don't cry."
Li was surprised. This was the first time this year that her mother-in-law had held the girl. She didn't dare to think too much about it. "Okay, mother."
Although Zhulan's attention was on Yushuang, she was also looking at everyone in the room. Fortunately, everyone was just surprised and didn't think much about it. Thinking about it this way, being at the top of the food chain is also good. At least you don't have to care about other people's faces, and no one dares to say anything when you want to do something.
Zhulan put the child down after coaxing him/herself into submission. There was still a long time to go, and she didn't think it was unrealistic to change everything all at once.
After she had boiled the medicine and drunk it, and her sons had gone back to their rooms, she returned to her bedroom.
Zhou Shuren had woken up long ago. Seeing the oil lamp lit, although the light was dim, he could see Zhulan taking the money box, and he became more alert. "Do you want to count the family assets?"
Zhulan smiled and said, "Yes, but you have to wait until I find everything."
Counting money is such a joy!
