At the same time, Huang Cuilan had already started walking towards the kitchen. As she walked, Zhang Meili and her sister Zhou Jiao also pointed in that direction.

Zhou Jiao glanced at the nieces and nieces present with a smile in her eyes, and followed closely behind, supporting her mother-in-law.

In the kitchen, Lin Juhua and her youngest daughter Mai Qing were busy. One was making a fire, the other was cooking, and a steamer on the stove was emitting steam.

Huang Cuilan came in and grabbed her, taking the spoon from her hand and said, "Take a break, I'll do it."

Lin Juhua didn't refuse. After all, this was her yard, and it was her, the mistress, who made the arrangements. She was just filling in temporarily.

"Mom, do you want to eat first?" Lin Juhua pointed at the hot dishes piled on the table. "Everything will be ready after my sister-in-law finishes her work."

Mother Zhang turned her head and looked behind her. With so many people, it was impossible to squeeze into the kitchen. She nodded happily and pulled Zhou Jiao away.

This blatant favoritism made Zhou Jiao a little shy, and she quickly invited her two sisters-in-law to go along. Originally, she wanted to let her nephew's wife go as well.

After all, a nephew's wife is different from a niece's wife. She is a distinguished guest. Unfortunately, no one can introduce her to someone for the time being. She can't ask all the younger generations to leave and leave her two sisters-in-law behind.

"Grandma, I'm back."

Following a shout, a couple came in from the gate, each holding their child's hand.

Zhou Jiao took a closer look and found that it was the wheat seedlings from the old family.

"Aunt, you're finally back." Mai Miao shook off her son's hand and ran to her happily. "I wanted to come here last night, but unfortunately I couldn't get away."

"Be careful, don't fall." Zhou Jiao held her hand and looked at her niece-in-law behind her. "Is this your lover? He's a good-looking guy."

Dong Zhichao didn't dare to call his wife "Auntie" together. He grabbed his other son who was about to run away, looked at her and said with a smile, "Hello, Auntie. I wanted to come over last night, but I had to work overtime and didn't dare let Mai Miao go out alone."

As soon as these words came out, Zhou Jiao had a better impression of him. A man who loves his wife is a good man. She immediately smiled and said, "We are all family. There is no need to be so polite."

"Okay." Dong Zhichao lowered his head and said to his son, "Xiaoyi, Xiaowei, call me Third Grandma."

"Any candy?"

The child's question made everyone present burst into laughter.

Zhang Guoqing, who had just stepped into the courtyard with his brother and brother-in-law, smiled and said, "Little thing, hurry up and shout. How much candy do you want? Third Grandma has it all."

"Uncle."

Zhang Guoqing nodded at Dong Zhichao, picked up Xiao Wei, who had asked the question, and nodded. "Would you like some candied haws? Just call and you'll have them."

The most interesting thing was the naive five-year-old child, whose little head kept turning around, searching for the candied haws, "No, no."

Zhang Guoqing laughed and weighed the child. "This kid is smart and never suffers any loss. Later, not only you will have it, everyone will have it."

Zhang's mother laughed happily and patted him. "Is he crying? Are you trying to comfort him? Come in quickly. There's candy in the room."

"Mom, it's true." Zhang Guoqing handed the child to Dong Zhichao, "My dear son, go home and tell your brothers to hurry up."

Upon hearing this, Wuyi nodded and turned to leave.

When Zhang's mother saw this, she quickly shouted, "Let's eat first."

Wuyi slowed down his pace and waved at her, "Grandma, it's just a few steps away. I'll be back soon."

As soon as I walked out of the old courtyard, I saw Xizi and Zhang Ziwen coming towards me not far away, carrying steaming enamel basins and buckets of water.

He glanced behind them in the direction of his yard and raised an eyebrow.

——He really took the whole blame!

"Wuyi, Ping'an and the others will be here soon. Are you starving?"

"No." Wuyi smiled at Xizi and the others and reached out his hand. "Let me do it?"

"No need! You're already busy with the front-end process, and the rest is our job. Why didn't you stay in the provincial capital for a while after coming back this time? We were planning to come back with you."

Upon hearing this, Wuyi immediately retracted his hand and smiled noncommittally, "My dad is anxious to see grandpa and grandma. You guys go first, I'll go home and get some things."

Zhang Ziwen quickly asked, "What else are you taking? Is it white wine? Don't take it. We already brought several bottles, enough for everyone to drink tonight."

"No, get the kids something to eat."

When he returned home on May Day, he was not in a hurry to go to the old courtyard. When he arrived at the backyard, he saw his two brothers and Xiao Zhu and Xiao Liu still throwing meat into the pot.

"Why are you back?"

"Hey... we need to get something over there." Wuyi craned his neck to look into the pot. "Dad, he told us to hurry over. What are you doing? Are you worried it won't be enough?"

"We don't want to eat it ourselves?"

Wuyi blinked when he heard what Liuyi said. His brother seemed to be quite angry. He nudged Pingan and asked: Who offended his brother just now?

Ping An shook his head slightly. Who would dare to offend these three brothers? It was just that sometimes the tone of their words made people feel uncomfortable.

For example, when Zhang Ziwu learned that the three brothers were distributing wild animals among the villagers today, he said: You are so bored, you might as well treat us to a meal.

For example, Zhang Mingyuan really thought he was the boss, ordering people around. Before leaving, he even said, "Hurry up and pack up and come here."

The two brothers have grown up so big that, not to mention being able to act arrogantly in the city, no one dares to mock or order them around in this tone.

It's just so bad.

If it were someone else, he would have slapped him in the face. But just because of this broken blood relationship, they had to put on a friendly front.

Moreover, it was difficult to talk about such a small matter. If they really took these words to heart, the three brothers would appear to be narrow-minded. It can only be said that they were not of the same kind and it was better for them to spend less time together.

Although Ping'an didn't say anything, there was a flash of anger in his eyes. Wuyi believed that he was not wrong, so he narrowed his eyes and understood who was talking nonsense again.

It seems that it is better to keep a distance from these people.

Wuyi smiled sarcastically, thinking that he had come back last summer and then helped them make money again. It must be his fault. He's pushing for more, isn't he?

No wonder his mother always smiled at him meaningfully whenever he said that his grandfather asked the three brothers to look after their cousins, and that his second uncle was very nice to the three brothers.

——That’s just laughing at your own childishness!

Wuyi turned around in annoyance and looked towards the old courtyard.

Now that there were outsiders present, he couldn't ask any more questions. He hoped those people hadn't gone too far, otherwise he wouldn't be able to get angry now, but it would still be okay to give them a trick before leaving.

"What was our mother doing when you came over?"

When Wuyi heard Liuyi ask this, as expected of twins, he immediately replied, "I'm chatting with everyone. They said they're going to have dinner. Second Aunt and the others are busy in the kitchen."

Hearing this, Liuyi put down the work in his hands, clapped his hands, and left the backyard first. If he went too late, who knew if his mother would be bullied?

If he were to say, those people are not good people!
