But now there is nothing we can do.

Zhou Ying got out of bed carefully and prepared to go to the kitchen to cook.

But when I got to the kitchen, I didn't expect that Liu Xiaolan was there too.

The kitchen still smells of meat.

Zhou Ying walked to the stove and opened the lid of the pot.

I saw that what was stewed inside was corn bones.

The surface of the water was rolling, and the oil boiling over the bones was so shiny that it dazzled the eyes.

Zhou Ying swallowed hard.

She thought that this must be made by Liu Xiaolan for her. After all, she was pregnant now and there was a high possibility that it was a grandson, so Liu Xiaolan began to cherish her.

It turns out that having a grandson makes one’s status different.

All the resentment Zhou Ying had felt since early in the morning disappeared at this moment for the sake of the big stick bone.

I feel so relieved.

"What are you doing?"

Suddenly, a sharp sound was heard in his ears, which frightened Zhou Ying so much that his hands trembled and the pot lid fell back again.

"Mom, I just smelled good and wanted to see what was cooked."

Liu Xiaolan looked at Zhou Ying as if she was staring at a thief.

"The incense has nothing to do with you. This is what the third brother bought for Jiaojiao. You have no share."

Zhou Ying's face turned pale.

It was actually for Shen Jiaojiao.

It’s Shen Jiaojiao again.

My mother-in-law is too partial!

Zhou Ying immediately felt resentful again.

But her face didn't show any of it.

"I'm just looking at it, I don't want to eat it, Mom, let me light a fire for you!"

Zhou Ying sat directly in front of the stove and added firewood into it.

After the family had finished their meal, Liu Xiaolan put the cooked bone soup into the lunch box.

Just as Xu Mo was about to answer it, Liu Xiaolan dodged him.

"You can either go and rest, or go to work, and I'll bring you food later."

Xu Mo: “…” Are you on guard against him?

Why!

Forget it, he and Shen Jiaojiao are getting married in half a month anyway.

Xu Mo did not stubbornly try to grab the lunch box.

When most people in the house had left, Xu Mo took an oil-paper bag from the kitchen cupboard, then walked out of the yard, pushing his bicycle away.

But this scene was seen by Zhou Ying who had returned.

My brother-in-law stole something good from the house again.

Look at that oil paper bag, it’s quite big and contains quite a lot of things.

Zhou Ying returned home and went into the kitchen.

I saw that the door of the kitchen cabinet where food was originally stored was not locked.

She was delighted, opened the cupboard, and saw that there was still sugar inside.

She glanced outside the kitchen door nervously.

No one.

So he opened the jar of sugar and scooped a large spoonful of it into his mouth.

Then he put the jar back without anyone noticing.

After the sugar in her mouth had completely melted, she smacked her lips, then left the kitchen and went to the toilet with satisfaction.

Xu Mo pushed his bicycle to the captain's house.

At this time, the captain and his family were eating in the yard.

Xu Mo pushed the bicycle in.

"Uncle, auntie, I'm here to return the bicycle."

"Just put it there. Third son of the Xu family, have you had your meal?" asked the captain's wife.

"Yeah, I've eaten."

Xu Mo parked his bicycle and walked up to the captain with the oil paper bag in his hand.

"Uncle and aunt, this is a small token of my gratitude for lending me my bicycle."

He opened the oil paper package and found a pound of pork inside.

Then he took out thirty yuan from his trouser pocket.

"Here's thirty dollars to lend you."

The captain and his wife were stunned and quickly shook their heads to refuse.

Although pork is very delicious these days, you can't have it no matter what.

The captain's wife said, "We are neighbors, it is normal to borrow things. Just remember the kindness of your aunt and uncle. Take the meat back quickly, we can't accept it."

"Auntie, you must accept this, otherwise, I will feel bad."

"You kid, your mother helped me last time, and I didn't send any gifts in return. I said we are neighbors, it's normal to give and take." The captain's wife would not accept anything no matter what.

The captain also said, "Xu Mo! Just take your things back. If I accept your things, wouldn't it become a gift? If someone sees this, there will be something to talk about. Don't hurt me!"

Xu Mo is not very good at speaking, let alone dealing with human relationships.

Now the captain's wife and the captain kept bombarding him, and he had no idea how to respond.

Originally, he wanted to just put the pork down and leave, but the captain's wife discovered his little trick and stuffed the pork into Xu Mo's arms, asking her to take it away quickly.

Xu Mo really had no choice but to give up.

Just as I was about to turn around and leave, I saw a little head poking in from the gate.

When the little head saw Xu Mo, it immediately shrank back.

Xu Mo frowned and walked out of the yard quickly.

I saw a girl's slim back.

The girl tiptoed and limped forward.

Xu Mo pursed his lips, stepped forward quickly, and blocked the girl's way.

She said helplessly, "Shen Jiaojiao, didn't the doctor tell you to rest at home? Why did you come out?"

Shen Jiaojiao was caught in the act and felt a little embarrassed.

Smiling and evasive.

"My feet don't hurt anymore, so I wanted to go out for a walk."

"So what are you holding in your hand?"

Shen Jiaojiao glanced at the box of peach cakes in her hand.

All right!

She admitted that she was coming to return the money and bring a thank-you gift.

In fact, she still understands the ways of the world.

After all, when they were at home, they would often prepare gifts to thank others for their help, or others would bring gifts to their home.

Therefore, Shen Jiaojiao has been influenced by it since she was a child and understands everything she should understand.

"I'm here to pay back the captain's family. Didn't we borrow thirty yuan from them yesterday? And I'm here to give them this peach cake as a thank you."

She got up early in the morning because she was afraid that Xu Mo or Liu Xiaolan would come over to pay back the money before her.

After all, she gave Liu Xiaolan money yesterday but Liu Xiaolan refused to take it.

Who knew that I would be a step late today.

Xu Mo sighed, "Go back! I have already returned the money to the captain."

"Then give this peach cake to them!"

"They won't want it. I just brought them a piece of pork, but they didn't want it."

Shen Jiaojiao exclaimed, she didn't expect that Xu Mo, a fool, would know to bring a thank-you gift!

There is a future.

Shen Jiaojiao rolled her eyes.

He smiled and said, "It's okay. I have a way to make them accept this peach cake."

Shen Jiaojiao walked towards the captain's house with full confidence.

But after taking two steps, I felt something was wrong.

Then, under Xu Mo's gaze, he limped towards the captain's house.

Shen Jiaojiao let out a long breath.

Fortunately, I almost found out that my foot injury had healed.

It was just because she drank too much spiritual spring water yesterday, so her feet healed too quickly.

This is also very distressing!

The captain and his wife had just finished their meal and were about to clean up when they saw Shen Jiaojiao coming in at the door.

She was followed by Xu Mo who had gone there and returned.
