As he walked, he apologized to his mother: "Mom, I didn't scold you, I just wanted to tell you to eat. Really, how can I not eat? My body can't bear it."
The old lady ignored him, held her head high and walked in front of Zhou Mingyang, snorting heavily.
Seeing his brother being humiliated, Zhou Mingyang didn't say anything, but just laughed secretly beside his mother.
Zhou Chongyang had no choice but to say to his mother: "Mom, let's watch it together after dinner. Call Lan'er, Rui'er, their mother, and my father over to watch it together." Grandpa Zhou is over 60 years old and no longer cares about anything. He is just obsessed with fishing.
Mrs. Zhou was happy when she heard this: "I'll do it as you say. Let's go quickly. Oh, I'm hungry."
Zhou Chongyang...
Li Yu didn't know about the sales of her new book. She and her family were planning what to eat today.
Yang Liu and Lin Hai took Xiao Bao to her parents' home to give them a holiday gift. Only Li Yu Niang and the other two were left at home. They simply cooked some noodles for lunch.
Li Yu was thinking about what to eat in the evening.
Finally, she decided to eat chicken. It had been more than three months and she still hadn't eaten chicken. There were two old hens at home who were too old to lay eggs, so it would be a waste of food to keep them.
Also, I bought some spare ribs and pork belly yesterday. Hmm... I can make a few big dishes with this, so I can nourish my family members.
Just when Li Yu was about to have chicken for dinner and called Lin Jiang to kill the chicken, Zhong's eldest son Lin Fei came over.
"Aunt, are you busy? My mother asked me to come over and tell you that we will go to the old house for dinner tonight, so please don't cook." He walked in from the gate and said to Li Yu.
Li Yu thought about it and understood. Today was Mid-Autumn Festival, and the old man and the old lady probably wanted to have a reunion dinner with the whole family.
She agreed and said, "Okay, we'll go there this afternoon. Tell your mother that Second Aunt will come over with two dishes so you can taste her cooking."
"Thank you, Second Aunt. I won't refuse. If everyone knew that Second Aunt was serving the dishes, they would definitely be very happy." He said happily, "Then you go ahead and do your work. I'll go and tell my Third Uncle."
Li Yu smiled and said, "Go ahead."
Today, the fourth brother Lin Ziran and his family also came back, so the total number of people is very large, probably requiring three tables.
Li Yu felt worried for the Zhong family.
But luckily she has two daughters-in-law who can help.
I guess the Zhong family's only daughter, who is already married, will be back today. So, there must be at least 35 people, including adults and children. At least three tables will be needed.
Li Yu planned to stew a pot of chicken and a pot of pork ribs, and bring them to the old house later. One pot could hold about three plates.
Li Yu called Lin Jiang over to kill the chickens: "Second brother, come and help me kill these two hens that don't lay eggs."
When Lin Mei heard that the chickens were going to be slaughtered, she even ran out from inside the house making clothes for her third brother. "Mom, why are you slaughtering chickens? Didn't we buy meat yesterday? Can we eat all this?"
"Your eldest cousin just came over and said that your fourth uncle and his family are back, and your grandparents are asking us to go to the old house for dinner tonight. Let's kill two chickens, keep one for us to eat tomorrow, and your mother will prepare the other and bring it to the old house for us to eat together." Li Yu explained.
"Then let me help you."
Li Yu quickly stopped her and said, "Go make your clothes. I'll make you one when I have time. It's just a chicken, how can I not make it well? Besides, I have your second brother to help me."
Lin Jiang also said: "That's right, don't get involved. It's dirty to pluck chicken feathers. I, your second brother, can do it."
"Okay then, second brother, you help mom. I'll make one for you after I finish making clothes for third brother." Lin Mei said as she walked into the house.
By the time Lin Jiang caught and killed the chicken, Li Yu had already boiled some hot water and was about to start plucking the feathers.
Lin He pulled her up and sat in the place she had just been sitting. "Mom, my second brother and I can do this job. You take a rest, it will be done in a while."
Li Yu was a little amused and said, "No, why are you all still rushing to work? And Third Brother, aren't you practicing calligraphy?"
"Mom, haven't you always told me to balance work and rest?" Lin He asked her back.
…
Lin Jiang also helped Lin He persuade her at this time: "Mom, you just watch from the side, don't get involved, I and the third child are here, and besides, you are the one who writes books and sells them for money, how can you pluck the chicken feathers?"
As soon as Lin Jiang finished speaking, Li Yu felt that something bad was going to happen.
Sure enough, Lin He looked up at her and said, "Mom, you write books? Can they sell for money? Why don't I know about this? When did this happen? Am I the only one who doesn't know about it?"
"Oh, what about writing a book? I heard your second brother say that. It's just that Mom went to the bookstore to buy pens and ink for you some time ago. She saw that their storybooks were selling well, so she thought I should try to supplement the family income.
It's just writing a story, I don't think it's difficult. I didn't expect that the boss would actually like the story I wrote. That's how it happened..." Li Yu explained awkwardly.
"I didn't mean to not tell you, it was just a coincidence. And you're not the only one who doesn't know, your elder brother and sister-in-law don't know either." After saying that, Li Yu smiled at Lin He with a guilty conscience.
Lin He said helplessly: "I don't mean to blame you, I'm just worried that you'll be too tired. But if you enjoy writing and it's not tiring, I support you. By the way, what's the name of your book, Mom? I want to buy it and take a look."
Li Yu quickly stopped him and said, "What are you buying? No need to buy anything. Boss Chen said he'd give me two copies. Bring them back for our whole family to read. And today is the day my storybook goes on sale. I wonder how it's going to sell."
