Chapter 7 If You Don’t Want to Eat, Get Out
Zhong Xuexi gritted her teeth, "You!"
Seeing her aunt frustrated, Zhong Niannian blamed her in a baby voice, "Auntie, sleeping late is a bad habit. Bad habits must be changed."
"Niannian is right. Bad habits must be changed." Lin Ziqiu looked at Zhong Xuexi meaningfully.
After she finished speaking, she sneezed and said a little aggrievedly: "Auntie caught a cold last night and was not feeling well this morning, so she got up late."
Hearing this, Zhong Niannian couldn't hide her worry on her face.
Did she deliberately snatch the quilt last night, causing Auntie to fall ill?
"sorry……"
Zhong Niannian apologized quietly. Although her voice was very low, Zhong Xuexi who was standing beside her still heard it.
She glared at Zhong Niannian warningly.
Just then, Li Guixiang came back with meat and vegetables she had just bought from the supply and marketing cooperative.
Zhong Niannian ran over quickly, shouting crisply, "Grandma is back!"
"Wow! You bought so many things! I'll help you carry them!"
Li Guixiang smiled and shook her head, "Our Nian Nian is still obedient, grandma can carry it, I will make delicious food for you at noon later."
Lin Ziqiu stepped forward and said, "Grandma, let me make lunch."
Li Guixiang waved her hands repeatedly, "No, no, go back to your room and rest."
Zhong Xuexi was jealous. Why didn’t Lin Ziqiu have to do anything after marrying in?
"Grandma, since my sister-in-law wants to cook, we can try her cooking!"
Zhong Niannian was glared at by her aunt, and she quickly agreed, "Grandma, I also want to try Auntie's cooking."
Li Guixiang corrected: "What aunt? She is your mother."
Zhong Niannian stuck out her tongue mischievously and called out reluctantly, "Mom."
"Hey!" Lin Ziqiu smiled and rubbed her head, "What do you want to eat, Nian Nian? Mommy will make it for you."
Zhong Niannian looked at her shyly: "I want to eat the fish-flavored pork shreds from the state-owned restaurant!"
She had been to a state-owned restaurant only once, when she was four years old.
Lin Ziqiu smiled and agreed, "Okay."
Seeing this, Li Guixiang called her granddaughter, "Xiao Xi, go help your sister-in-law."
Zhong Xuexi reluctantly said "hmm" and followed.
The Zhong family is indeed a wealthy family, the kitchen is spacious and clean.
When she went to the countryside in her previous life, the kitchen was dirty and messy, especially the iron pot, which she scrubbed four or five times before it was clean.
Lin Ziqiu rolled up his sleeves and got to work.
Zhong Xuexi sat in front of the stove, clearly trying to be lazy.
Lin Ziqiu knew that she couldn't be counted on, so she took the lead and ordered: "There is no firewood. Go and fetch some firewood to start a fire later."
Zhong Xuexi rolled her eyes, obviously unhappy.
"I don't……"
Before she finished speaking, Zhong Xuexi saw Li Guixiang narrowing her eyes at her.
She immediately swallowed her words and changed the subject: "Let's go, but let me make it clear that I'm only responsible for making the fire, I won't do anything else."
Lin Ziqiu said "hmm" indifferently.
Zhong Xuexi is 1.6 meters tall and weighs 145 kilograms.
She was exhausted just by carrying some firewood.
She threw the firewood into the corner of the stove and was about to complain when she saw Lin Ziqiu killing fish.
The knife skills are fast and accurate.
Lin Ziqiu noticed her gaze and smiled at her provocatively.
Zhong Xuexi was so scared that her hair stood on end.
She obediently sat down and lit a fire. She was so choked by the smoke that tears came to her eyes, but she managed not to complain.
After the meal was ready, Zhong Heyang also came back.
In the yard, Zhong Niannian came out obediently, carrying the bowl and chopsticks, "Dad, it's time to eat! There are so many delicious foods today!"
She smelled the fragrance just outside the kitchen.
Zhong Heyang took the bowl and chopsticks from her and placed them on the dining table in the main hall. "Then you and your brother should eat more later."
Zhong Niannian stretched out her hand and pinched the corner of Zhong Heyang's clothes, her eyes sparkling, "Please trouble Dad to pick some meat dishes for Mom later, Mom loves them."
Zhong Heyang paused and nodded in agreement.
Li Guixiang came in with the dishes and saw Zhong Heyang. She couldn't help but ask, "Did you find Zhiyang?"
Zhong Heyang frowned, his face gloomy, "No news yet, but he should not have left the city yet."
Li Guixiang's eyes couldn't help but turn red. "This bastard, I'll break his legs when he comes back!"
As she cursed, she couldn't help crying again, "He Yang, you must find him back! No matter how big a mistake he made, he is still the only bloodline left by your second uncle. If something really happens, how can I have the face to see your second uncle... Your grandfather will definitely blame me... I shouldn't have forced him to get married..."
Zhong Heyang patted Li Guixiang on the shoulder and said, "Grandma, don't think too much. He will be fine."
In his opinion, since Zhong Zhiyang chose to elope, he must have thought of a way out for himself in advance.
Zhong Zhiyang has never suffered any hardship since he was a child. When his money is gone, he will go home sooner or later.
Zhong Niannian took out a handkerchief and stood on tiptoe to wipe Li Guixiang's tears. "Don't cry, grandma. When Second Uncle comes back, I will help you keep an eye on him and make sure he won't run away again."
Li Guixiang wiped her tears and held Zhong Niannian in her arms, "Our Nian Nian is still obedient."
"Of course, I'm the best!"
Zhong Xuexi and Lin Ziqiu walked in one after the other.
Maybe it was because of cooking, Lin Ziqiu's little face was smoked red, and there was a thin layer of sweat on the tip of her nose, which made her look a little more smoky.
Zhong Heyang stretched out his hand as if possessed by a ghost and took the dish from Lin Ziqiu's hand.
Their fingers touched each other.
Although it was only a moment, Zhong Heyang felt itchy in his heart.
The tone of his voice softened a bit: "Thank you for your hard work."
Lin Ziqiu was a little surprised, but quickly realized, "It's my duty."
Zhong Xuexi, who was standing by, was filled with jealousy. "Brother! Can't you see that I'm almost scalded to death?"
Zhong Heyang frowned, "Don't you know how to hold a rag? You are so stupid and you want to be a teacher, you are misleading the students."
Lin Ziqiu tried to hold back his laughter. This guy really is... his real brother!
Zhong Xuexi didn't bother to argue, and quickly brought the bowl of soup to the table. She couldn't help but complain: "I'm stupid, how smart can you be? We're born of the same mother!"
Zhong Heyang said: "Who said you were born from the same mother? Your mother picked you up from the trash can."
"you--"
Li Guixiang didn't feel so bad after hearing the disturbance caused by the brother and sister.
"Okay, you're bickering with your sister as soon as you get home. Don't you know how to give in to your sister as a brother? Now that you're married, you should love your wife. Do you hear me?"
Seeing that his grandmother's mood had improved, Zhong Heyang responded silently.
At the dinner table, Zhong Heyang took the initiative to pick up some food for Lin Ziqiu for the first time.
Lin Ziqiu was stunned for a moment and said softly, "Thank you."
Seeing her grandson being so sensible, Li Guixiang couldn't stop smiling. "Xiao Qiu, you are too thin. You should eat more and take good care of yourself so that you can give me a big fat great-grandson in the future."
Zhong Xuexi held the bowl in her hand and deliberately found fault: "How can this meat be cooked like this? It's so thin! And this soup, there is no meat in it, only vegetables. If you can't cook, don't waste food!"
Lin Ziqiu glanced at her and said, "I cut the meat into minced meat and then added water to stew it. This will make the soup taste more delicious."
Li Guixiang also came out to smooth things over: "This dish tastes really good. Xiaoxi, try your sister-in-law's cooking first."
Zhong Xuexi snorted lightly and didn't appreciate it at all.
She wrinkled her nose and said disdainfully, "It looks fishy, I won't drink it!"
"And this dish, it's covered in chili peppers, how can I eat it?"
Zhong Heyang put down his chopsticks and said with a tense face: "If you don't want to eat, get out."
