Shen Liwu nodded, picked up the bowl, carefully scooped a mouthful of rice, and said incoherently: “It’s delicious, mom’s cooking skills are really good.”
Zhou Li smiled from ear to ear, "If it tastes good, eat more. There's more in the pot."
Seeing her enjoying the meal, Zhou Yanjing's eyes showed a little more satisfaction. He also picked up a piece of bacon and put it in his mouth. After chewing it for a few times, he praised: "Dad, this bacon is really well pickled. It's moderately salty and full of fragrance."
Father Zhou smiled proudly, his eyes narrowed into slits, "Of course, this year I specially picked the best basil and marinated it for two whole months."
Shen Liwu ate while listening to the conversation between the father and son, feeling warm in her heart. This kind of warm family atmosphere was something she hadn't felt for a long time.
After dinner, Shen Liwu stood up to clean up the dishes, but was stopped by Zhou Li. "Hey, stop it, take a rest, and leave these tasks to Yan Jing and your father."
"Mom, why are you so nice? Other people's wives are either cooking or washing dishes. I feel embarrassed to enjoy myself like this just after I got home." Shen Liwu said, a faint blush appeared on her cheeks again, and her fingers were twisted together uneasily.
Zhou Qi smiled and patted the back of her hand, "Silly child, we are a family, why should we be so particular? You work so hard outside, you should have a good rest when you get home." After that, he turned around and winked at Zhou Yanjing, "Yanjing, why don't you go wash the dishes?"
Zhou Yanjing stood up and pretended to be aggrieved, "Mom, you are too partial. I am still your biological son."
Zhou Qi glared at him and scolded him with a smile: "Stop talking nonsense and go!"
Zhou Yanjing shrugged helplessly, picked up the dishes on the table and went to the kitchen. Before leaving, he did not forget to turn around and wink at Shen Liwu, "Wife, wait until I finish washing the dishes, then we'll go to the kitchen."
Shen Liwu couldn't help laughing at his mischievous look, and nodded with pursed lips.
Father Zhou smiled and shook his head when he saw this. "I've never seen this kid like this since he was little."
Zhou Qi also agreed with a smile, "That's right. Fortunately, we have Wuwu now. He loves to laugh and talk more. Finally, there is someone who can control him."
When Shen Liwu heard this, the blush on her face deepened a little, she lowered her head and said softly: "Actually, Yan Jing is very good, he takes good care of me."
Zhou Li listened, a trace of relief flashed in his eyes, "That's good, we are relieved that you two are fine."
Zhou Yanjing washed the dishes, and the two went out together to digest the food. On the country road, the afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled on the fields, and the golden light was reflected on their faces. The breeze blew, bringing the fragrance of soil and grass.
"Zhou Yanjing, where is our corn? I want to eat roasted corn."
Zhou Yanjing turned his head to look at her, with a smile between his eyebrows, "Why do you suddenly want to eat roasted corn?"
He reached out and ruffled her hair, saying lovingly, "Like a greedy cat."
"I smelled the aroma of corn while eating just now, and suddenly I wanted to eat it." Shen Liwu looked up at him, his eyes sparkling, like a child asking for candy.
Zhou Yanjing couldn't help but chuckle, took her hand, and walked towards the field, "Qian, let me show you our cornfield."
