"No, I'll wait for you to go back together." Zhou Zhaodi sat down on the edge of the field.
Only a fool would go back and cook when he gets home.
Xu Ming ignored her and lowered his head to continue working.
When Xu Yan came back, Tang Yiyi had already cooked the meal, which was some simple porridge and white flour buns, some cabbage stewed with meat, and some pickles left over from lunch.
When I entered the room, I saw Tang Yiyi carrying a tray of steamed buns and walking towards the main room.
He dropped his tools, walked over quickly, took the steamer that was still steaming, and said in a cold but caring tone, "This is too dangerous. Don't do it again."
"It's okay, I'll be very careful." Tang Yiyi didn't care. After saying that, he turned around and went back into the kitchen.
Xu Yan put the steamer on the table in the main room, turned around and went into the kitchen. Seeing a large pot of cabbage stewed with meat and a large pot of rice porridge, he looked at Tang Yiyi deeply.
He then carried the dishes from the stove to the table in the main hall.
"Yan San, you are so lucky!" Grandma looked at Xu Yan meaningfully and said with a smile on her face.
Xu Yan also felt that he was blessed, but he couldn't believe whether this was true or an illusion. Was it a prelude to her leaving?
A group of people returned home in a noisy manner. They smelled the aroma of meat wafting through the yard and suddenly felt hungry.
"Oh, why does it taste like meat? It smells so good~" Zhou Zhaodi said loudly as soon as she entered the door.
Tang Yiyi was still serving porridge in the kitchen. When she heard Zhou Zhaodi's voice, her brows furrowed slightly.
"Yi Yi, let me do it." Liu Xiaofeng walked into the kitchen, followed by her second sister-in-law Song Xiu Lian.
"No need, auntie, this is the last one. You can just bring it over." Tang Yiyi didn't stop moving his hands. After Liu Xiaofeng and Song Lianxiu responded, they carried the bowls and went to the main room.
"Now that everyone is back, let's start eating." Grandma called in a low voice, which made Zhou Zhaodi feel a little guilty.
"Wow, there are steamed buns?" a little boy shouted and was about to reach out to grab them.
When Tang Yiyi brought the porridge to the main hall, she saw the little boy reaching out to grab the steamed buns. She wanted to speak up to stop him, but she heard her grandmother's voice: "Daming, don't you care?"
"Where are your manners? If you tell others about it, people will laugh at you!" No one in the family dared to say a word.
The little boy also stood in front of the table, not daring to speak.
Although the old lady is old, she still has dignity.
The child came up with dirty hands and grabbed the steamed buns. It was indeed impolite and unhygienic.
"Grandma, don't be angry. It won't happen again." Xu Ming apologized with a smile, pulling the child back.
"Let's eat." Grandpa said from the side.
The table was too small to accommodate so many people, so Tang Yiyi chose to stand, and was finally pulled to sit down by Xu Yan.
Second sister-in-law Song Lianxiu put some vegetables in the steamed buns, brought porridge and took the two children to the yard to eat.
Zhou Zhaodi was the first person to sit down besides the two elders. She picked up a piece of meat with chopsticks and started eating, while sipping porridge loudly.
While eating, he said: "It smells so good. When did your family sell meat? Why didn't you make it at noon? I've been craving meat for a long time."
Everyone looked at each other when they heard this, and a trace of disgust flashed in the old lady's eyes.
Even Xu Ming felt a little embarrassed and nudged Zhou Zhaodi beside him with his arm.
"What are you doing? I'm not wrong. I'm pregnant now, so I need to eat good food, otherwise the baby will be malnourished." This is clearly an excuse to eat more because of pregnancy.
"Isn't that right, Grandma?"
But grandma didn't buy her trick at all and said coldly, "We bought all this meat one by one. You refused to cook it for dinner when I asked you to. How dare you eat so much?"
The smile on Zhou Zhaodi's face froze, and her expression did not look good, as if she had been exposed.
She didn't dare look at her husband beside her, so she lowered her head and drank a mouthful of porridge to cover up her guilty conscience.
Xu Ming immediately understood why his wife cared about him so much today and brought him water. It turned out that she did it so that she didn't have to cook dinner.
I really thought too much. After so many years, how could he suddenly care about me?
In the end, everyone ate in silence. Zhou Zhaodi also became much more restrained, but she still ate a lot of meat.
Xu Yan's mother, Liu Xiaofeng, looked at the white flour buns, thick rice, and the dish with more meat than cabbage, and felt a little embarrassed.
"Yiyi, I'll just come back and cook from now on, you don't have to cook."
Liu Xiaofeng really likes this daughter-in-law who has not yet married into the family. It feels a bit bad to ask her to cook for the whole family before they get married.
Even after getting married, I still feel reluctant to let her cook with those clean white hands.
"It's okay, Auntie. We are family after all, so it's my duty to cook a meal for you." Tang Yiyi was also embarrassed to eat for free.
Before Liu Xiaofeng could respond, Zhou Zhaodi spoke up.
"Yes, Mom, if your third sister-in-law wants to do it, just let her do it. She has nothing to do at home anyway, so you might as well ask her to cook for everyone."
When Zhou Zhaodi saw Liu Xiaofeng said that Tang Yiyi would not be allowed to cook anymore, she was the first to disagree.
"How do you know she has nothing to do?" Xu Yan was unhappy and retorted directly.
Zhou Zhaodi didn't expect Xu Yan to confront her in public. She was still a little scared of her brother-in-law and smiled awkwardly: "Oh, look, I was just joking. Why are you already protecting her when she's not even married yet? You can't be too protective of this woman, otherwise it will be hard to discipline her in the future."
He looked like he was doing this completely for Xu Yan's own good.
"Zhou Zhaodi, can't eating stop you from talking? If you don't want to eat, go back to your room right now!"
