Compared with Cao Yizhi from the Cao family, Zhou Jiasheng and Zhou Yuanyuan from the Zhou family are really not the least worry-free.
However, General Zhou was not without his worries. At least in his mind, Zhou Zhixin and his wife were synonymous with "unreliable."
Last night, after Zhao Yunxiang heard about Zhou Jiasheng and Zhao Cao's relationship, her face darkened as if ink could be squeezed out of it. General Zhou hadn't failed to notice, but he simply didn't care. Regardless, the marriage between Zhou Jiasheng and Zhao Cao had passed his hurdle. Even if Zhao Yunxiang couldn't wrap her head around it, General Zhou was confident that Zhou Jiasheng would find a way to make her understand.
General Zhou and Zhou Xi were strolling around and chatting, and before they knew it, more than half an hour had passed.
Seeing that General Zhou's exercise time was almost up, Zhou Yuanyuan quickly called out, "Grandpa Zeng, Grandpa Xi, it's time for breakfast!"
"Axi, come on, I can smell the steamed dumplings." Upon hearing this, General Zhou quickly stopped, turned around, and walked towards the dining room excitedly.
The steamed buns made by Wang Ma are incredibly delicious and are one of General Zhou's favorite breakfasts.
Unfortunately, Aunt Wang was a bit old-fashioned and insisted on balanced nutrition. Even if General Zhou liked it, Aunt Wang would only make these steamed dumplings once a week. At this moment, General Zhou smelled a familiar smell, and his saliva unconsciously secreted a little faster.
After General Zhou washed his hands, the entire Zhou family was already sitting at the dinner table, eagerly waiting for General Zhou to arrive.
The Zhou family’s table etiquette is that one must wait until the head of the family, General Zhou, starts eating before starting to eat.
There was no way, the breakfast made by Aunt Wang was so delicious that the fragrance penetrated into everyone's nostrils and aroused everyone's appetite.
Especially Cao, who was stunned by the huge table of food.
In Zhaojiagou, the Cao family's breakfast, three hundred and sixty-five days a year, consisted of nothing but porridge, with at most a side of chopped pickled mustard greens. In Cao's eyes, breakfasts like the Zhou family's were more than just "sumptuous." For some reason, Cao, for the first time, had a concrete understanding of the gap between her and Zhou Jiasheng.
Aunt Wang was very happy that Ran had all arrived. In addition to soy milk, milk and bone porridge, she also made steamed buns, scallion pancakes, fried dough sticks and crystal cakes, as well as smashed cucumbers, peanuts, pickles and other things, filling the table.
"Come on, come on, everyone, eat." After sitting down, General Zhou pointed to the sumptuous table and called out.
Wang Ma's cooking skills are very good. After General Zhou started eating, the Zhou family members couldn't help but bury their heads in the food.
Cao sat at the table, looking a little awkward. There were so many options that she didn't know what to eat.
Zhou Jiasheng glanced at Cao who hadn't picked up his chopsticks yet, quietly picked up a steamed bun for Cao, and quickly placed it on the plate in front of Cao.
Wang Ma's steamed dumplings are a must-try. Haven't you seen everyone's chopsticks go for them first? If Zhou Jiasheng doesn't make a move, he's afraid his sweetheart won't be able to taste the flavor of Wang Ma's steamed dumplings.
When Zhou Jiasheng was at work, the food he talked about most was Wang Ma's steamed dumplings. There was nothing he could do about it; the canteen chefs at the research institute were all about nutrition, not taste.
Cao happened to be sitting next to Zhou Jiasheng and was startled by Zhou Jiasheng's sudden movement.
When Cao looked at Zhou Jiasheng, she saw that Zhou Jiasheng had a bruised face and looked like a fool, smiling at her with a mouthful of big white teeth.
The soup in the steamed buns was a little hot. Zhou Jiasheng was afraid that Cao would get burned, but he didn't dare to say anything. He had to touch Cao gently with his elbow, signaling Cao to follow his example and poke a hole in the steamed bun with chopsticks to let in the heat.
Cao pursed her lips and smiled, then looked at the other people at the table. Seeing that they were all busy eating and didn't notice the interaction between Zhou Jiasheng and her at all, she lowered her head and carefully started eating the steamed buns on the plate.
In fact, it’s not that the others didn’t see the interaction between Cao and Zhou Jiasheng, but they were afraid that Cao would be shy, so they pretended not to see Zhou Jiasheng’s actions.
General Zhou and Zhou Yuanyuan lowered their heads to eat, their eyes full of smiles. Only Zhao Yunxiang looked a little disappointed.
Usually when Zhou Jiasheng eats at home, he always says a few words to liven up the atmosphere, or picks up some food for Zhao Yunxiang. But today, Cao was there, and Zhou Jiasheng was probably afraid that Cao would feel uncomfortable, so he didn't say anything, let alone pick up some food for Zhao Yunxiang.
Her son hasn't even gotten married yet! Has she, an old mother, been thrown aside?
"Yunxiang, try this." Zhou Zhixin didn't know what his wife was thinking. Seeing Zhao Yunxiang looking at the steamed buns in the bowl with a poor appetite, he quickly picked up a piece of scallion pancake for Zhao Yunxiang.
Zhao Yunxiang's heart was instantly healed. At the critical moment, her husband was still reliable! Children and the like were all debts!
"Come on, Zhixin, try this too." Zhao Yunxiang returned the favor and also picked up a piece of smashed cucumber for Zhou Zhixin. Zhou Zhixin usually loved this dish the most, and Zhao Yunxiang remembered it clearly in her heart!
Zhao Yunxiang and Zhou Zhixin spoke up. Zhou Yuanyuan, who was standing beside them, smiled and stood up. After picking up a steamed bun for each of General Zhou and Zhou Xi, she leaned over and whispered in General Zhou's ear:
"Grandpa Zeng, look at them. They're ignoring the three of us. I grabbed the last two steamed buns on the plate for you and Grandpa Xi to make them so greedy. Otherwise, seeing their smug looks would be really annoying."
"Hehehe...it's better to be good." General Zhou looked at several pairs of eyes staring at the empty chat plates and couldn't help laughing.
As General Zhou ate the steamed buns Zhou Yuanyuan had prepared for him, he felt that Wang Ma's cooking skills had improved a lot. Otherwise, why would they taste so delicious in his mouth?
The family devoured the food like a whirlwind and had almost cleared the table of food in less than fifteen minutes.
At this time, General Zhou's guard captain Ouyang Xin walked in.
"General, Xu Zhiyuan, the chief of criminal investigation of the Shilitun Public Security Bureau, has come to see you with a police officer. By the way, the police officer's name is Geng Liang, and he is a friend of Sister Yuanyuan." Ouyang Xin saluted General Zhou and reported.
General Zhou couldn't help but look at Zhou Yuanyuan.
Among those who came to see General Zhou, the Chief of the Criminal Investigation Section of the Public Security Bureau was not a very important figure. However, with the presence of a police officer who claimed to be a friend of Zhou Yuanyuan, General Zhou felt embarrassed to refuse him the honor.
"Geng Liang? He is really my friend. Grandpa Zeng, it was Geng Liang who solved the last mummy case. But it doesn't matter, Grandpa Zeng, if you don't want to see him, I will go out and talk to him alone." Zhou Yuanyuan looked at General Zhou's inquiring eyes, nodded, and understood the identity of Geng Liang as a "friend".
