Li was even more annoyed. Ever since Zhao married into the family, she had a sad face and cried at every turn. She was like a jinx, and she was annoyed and yelled, "Shut up."
Zhao finally calmed down and stopped crying by the window. She just shed tears silently instead.
Zhulan saw that Li was satisfied, and as long as Li kept quiet, she was fine. She had no intention of going out to see Zhao. She and Zhao's brain circuits were not on the same channel. To be precise, the whole family was not on the same channel as her.
Zhao was very sad when she saw that no one recognized her. She became even sadder when she thought of the killed chicken. Her mother-in-law had said that she would eat the chicken during her confinement period, but now it was killed, which meant she couldn't eat it anymore. She felt even more aggrieved. When she thought of her tragic family background, she couldn't stop crying.
Zhulan took a quick glance and was filled with admiration. She estimated that she had been crying for a quarter of an hour. Her tear glands were so developed!
Li finished cooking and licked her lips while looking at the dumpling soup. "Mom, the meal is ready."
Zhulan, "Ask Zhao to prepare the meal. The eldest and second eldest should be back soon."
Li was already hungry, "Okay, mother."
Zhulan went to call Zhou Shuren, and Zhou Shuren finally woke up after she called him twice. Zhou Shuren had a good rest and looked much better.
Zhou Shuren was also observing Zhulan. Seeing Zhulan's face turn red, he smiled and said, "The eldest and the second are back?"
Zhulan helped Zhou Shuren up and said, "No, it will probably be soon."
Zhou Shuren stretched his body and said, "The Wang family didn't come to cause trouble, did they?"
"The Wang family doesn't dare to bully the weak and fear the strong."
Zhou Shuren was amused. The eldest and second sons were not good at studying, but they learned martial arts from their wife when they were young. In addition, they were full of strength from working in the fields all year round, so it was no problem for them to beat several people alone. The Wang family had been beaten up, so they really didn't dare to come and cause trouble.
The two of them walked into the main room chatting and laughing, and the eldest and the second oldest also came back.
There was a pot of dumpling soup waiting for Zhulan to divide. Zhulan divided it into two portions, half on each side. After dividing it, she first served a bowl to each of her grandson and daughter-in-law.
As for Zhou Shuren's table, Zhulan didn't serve him. Zhou Shuren served himself a bowl and said to his two confused sons, "Serve yourself."
The eldest brother Zhou Changli stiffened his neck and turned back, "Mom, what day is today?"
Zhulan didn't bother to explain, "If I give it to you, eat it. If not, save it."
The eldest brother Zhou Changli shut up. Why not eat it since it was already prepared? Afraid that he would not be able to finish it, he quickly served himself a bowl, but did not dare to take more because of his father.
The second oldest, Zhou Changyi, followed closely behind, smiling innocently.
Zhou Shuren was already hungry, "Let's eat."
Zhulan got up early in the morning and had a fight. She quickly drank a few mouthfuls of the dumpling soup before her stomach felt better. It was pure natural and pollution-free, and it tasted so good that it left a lingering fragrance in her mouth.
Xue Han was stunned when she saw her mother drinking a bowl and asking for another one. "Didn't mother save this for the third and fourth brothers?"
Zhulan paused, the technology in ancient times was not good, white flour was expensive, and it was difficult to eat white water dumplings, let alone bone soup. Looking at the remaining soup at the bottom of the basin, she really didn't want to keep it, but she had to. Today, her daughter-in-law has a bowl, not to mention two boys who are studying.
She can't let her character collapse. Today's excitement was too great and a bit too much.
Zhou Shuren put down the bowl and said, "It's reserved for the main table."
Zhulan looked back and saw Zhou Shuren put down his bowl and started eating the biscuits. If he didn't touch the lumps in the bowl, his two sons wouldn't dare to touch them either. They wanted to curse what a miserable day it was.
Zhou Shuren came to the rescue. Zhulan looked at the basin in front of her. It was still enough for two small bowls. It would be unfair to give it to anyone since they had already divided it. So she went downstairs and divided it equally with Zhou Shuren. Zhou Shuren didn't say anything, but he felt warm in his heart. He slowly picked up the bowl and continued to drink.
Someone outside the gate called out, "Aunt, Aunt."
