Inheriting a Legacy and Traveling to Ancient Times

In her previous life, Zhao Qingyan grew up in an orphanage. She unexpectedly activated a pocket dimension and began hoarding supplies. After spending all her savings, an accident transported her to...

Chapter 812 Dining in Separate Servings

Time flies, and soon, the family visit team led by Tian Xiaolan and Wang Caixia arrived.

Although we all know of each other's existence, we've never met, so there's always a slight sense of unfamiliarity.

The children, on the other hand, had fewer inhibitions. While the adults were still getting to know each other and exchanging pleasantries, the little ones were already playing together.

They have a great deal of curiosity and affection for their two youngest brothers, Qingmao and Qingsheng, born to Yan Yuesheng, as well as their nephews and nieces.

These two uncles really look exactly alike, like little pink dumplings, so incredibly cute.

He's not very good at talking yet, but he's already quite amusing just to tease his two uncles.

Especially since this is my uncle, who is even younger than them, yet he can still be held in someone's arms. The feeling is... well, hard to describe.

After observing for a while, Yan Yue found that the younger generation of the first and second wives were indeed taking good care of the two children, so she did not stop them from taking care of the children.

In just one afternoon, the two little guys, Qingmao and Qingsheng, couldn't bear to be apart from their nephews. When they went to sleep that night, they refused to leave their nephews' big kang (heated brick bed).

The child cried so hard that Yan Yue couldn't bear to leave him, so in the end, the task of looking after the child was handed over to Sanbao and Sibao.

It just so happens that the two twin brothers can take care of their two twin cousins, one for each of them.

Fortunately, the two little ones can sleep soundly until dawn after drinking milk before bed.

At night, all I need to do is make sure the two little ones don't fall off the floor while they're sleeping.

Of course, the nannies were waiting at the door as soon as it was light; they had come to take the two young masters back to wash up.

Early in the morning, the two children missed their mother and stopped crying and refusing to leave as they had the night before.

After not seeing her two children for just one night, Yan Yue felt that her two eldest sons seemed to have changed a lot.

Her feeling was right; her two older sons were becoming less affectionate towards their mother.

They usually ate breakfast in their own courtyards, since they didn't wake up at the same time, and Madam Huang couldn't possibly set rules for this princess daughter-in-law.

During breakfast today, Qingmao and Qingsheng, the two boys, kept looking around as they ate, clearly searching for their nephews.

After finally eating the steamed egg custard and drinking the milk, the two boys stretched out their little hands, wanting to go outside.

With Yan Yue's permission, the two boys were carried to the front yard.

Upon entering the dining room, Yan Yue was stunned. Everyone had a wooden plate with many compartments, each containing a different dish.

This was the first time Yan Yue had ever seen such a dining style.

Confused, he was then summoned by Madam Huang.

Yan Yue finally couldn't hold back any longer, "Grandma, why have you changed the way we eat today? Are you worried that the dining room isn't big enough or that there aren't enough tables?"

Mrs. Huang shook her head. “No, it’s not that we have too many children of different ages. If we eat at a large table, the younger children might not be able to reach the food, and the older children would have to take care of the younger ones. In the end, no one would eat well.”

Why not have the food served separately like this? Nobody has to worry about anyone else. Wouldn't that be great?

Even washing dishes in the kitchen will be much less of a hassle.

Yan Yue wanted to say that servants were meant to serve their masters, and they shouldn't be allowed to idly eat their fill.

However, since her mother-in-law had already said that, she couldn't really refute it.

She smiled and nodded, "The old lady is so thoughtful. I see these wooden plates; they must take some time to make. The old lady has already prepared them."

Huang clapped his hands and laughed.

"It was my sweet girl who remembered this a few days ago and ordered it in advance. You don't know, our family started out running a snack shop in Lingnan, and we used these kinds of plates back then..."

Sure enough, when women get together, they always create a lively atmosphere. Soon, the women of the Zhao family were bustling about.

In the afternoon, they agreed to go shopping.

Wang Caixia and Tian Xiaolan were worried that this princess sister-in-law would be difficult to get along with, but after getting to know her, they found that she was also generous and easy to get along with.
