"Shi Tou, are you in pain or not? If you are, just tell me. Don't be shy. Second Brother will definitely not let anything happen to you."
Shitoulian's face turned even redder, but he was worried about him running to the hospital, so he stammered, "I...I'm not in pain, it doesn't hurt anymore. I just...I just lied to you on purpose."
"?" Zhang Hewu was confused. "Why did you lie to me?"
Shitou glanced at his second brother, twisted his body, and got out of Zhang Hewu's arms. He always felt that something was wrong when being held like this.
He stood on the ground, head lowered. "I... I saw Second Brother pacing around, looking very anxious, so I wanted to help you. Fifth Sister asked me to help calm you down, Second Brother, but I didn't know how to calm you down. You wouldn't play cards with me, so I had to... I had to lie to you."
Zhang Hewu was at a loss for words: "You can't pretend to be sick, I'm scared to death!"
"I'm sorry, second brother." Shitou buried his head even lower.
Zhang Hewu patted him and said, "Forget it. It's my fault. I made you worry."
He was just too anxious to sit still, but he couldn't eat hot tofu in a hurry. He didn't expect to make his younger brothers and sisters worry!
Shitou was happy to see that his second brother wasn't angry: "Second brother, Fifth Sister said you don't have to rush. If you rush around, you won't be able to find a wife!"
Zhang Hewu was at a loss for words: "Okay, second brother got it! But Shitou, try not to lie to your family in the future. We are a family!"
Shitou had never been in the habit of lying. He'd been bullied by his second wife since childhood, and he'd lived cautiously, never telling a lie. I never expected he'd lie now. But to be honest, ever since Shitou went to Lugou Village, he'd changed completely. He'd become bolder and more outgoing, but lying was really wrong!
Shitou knew he was wrong. He was at his wit's end. If he had known earlier, he would have discussed it with his second brother: "I'm sorry, second brother."
"It's okay. Just correct your mistakes." Zhang Hewu patted his head. "When you go out, sometimes lying to bad people is not wrong, but try not to lie to your own people, okay?"
Shitou nodded: "Got it!"
Well, it’s okay to cheat bad guys!
The two brothers went back to the house. After this incident, Zhang Hewu became much calmer. He stopped walking around and just played cards with Shitou.
But playing cards didn't seem fun, so they started playing flying chess. As they played, time passed slowly.
Over there, Zhang Xingrong returned to the Su family and began helping out again. The dishes had already been washed, and everyone else began to busy themselves with other things. Besides Su's father, there were also some other good cooks in the alley. The others helped, set the table, and cooked.
I cooked some rice and flour to make some steamed buns. After all, I was from the north and had to go to the interview place. As for pancakes, it was not cost-effective to make pancakes with too many people. Steamed buns were easier.
Just as everyone was getting busy, Su's mother's eldest brother and sister-in-law arrived early in the morning to help. They exchanged a few words with Su's mother and then went back to work. Not long after, two more people arrived: one was Su's eldest brother's fiancée, Lu Yuanyuan, and the other was Su's second sister's boyfriend, Zhou Yian. They entered one after the other and bumped into each other at the entrance of the alley.
Su's mother and Su's second sister were very happy to see the two of them and went up to greet them.
"Xiao Zhou and Xiao Lu, why are you here so early?"
Xiao Lu smiled, showing his fangs, looking very cute: "Hello, Auntie, I came to see if there is anything I can help you with!"
"It's no big help, just sit there!" Mother Su said with a smile. She still liked Shichang Yuanyuan very much.
