Chapter 171 The baby in my belly is quite well-behaved.
Zhizhi immediately grabbed her arm and pulled her up two steps. "You're so thoughtful," Zhizhi said with genuine admiration, her eyes sparkling.
Zhou Chan: "...No, no..."
Zhou Chan was used to being scolded by her sister-in-law, but this was the first time she had experienced praise from her sister-in-law, so she was very uncomfortable.
Zhou Chan climbed two steps and stood side by side with Zhizhi. Zhizhi immediately took her arm and said, "Don't be shy, we'll be best friends from now on."
Zhou Chan replied, blushing.
I discovered that not only was my fierce sister-in-law hard to handle, but her excessive enthusiasm was also... hard to handle.
As soon as Zhou Chan and Zhizhi arrived at the door, Zhou Lin came up with something on his shoulder, in his hand, on his arm, and in his mouth, like a deliveryman.
Zhizhi "..."
"Honey, you're so capable!" she said with utmost sincerity.
That was the sentence that made both siblings blush.
Zhou Chan blushed because she felt she had overheard her brother and sister-in-law's private conversation.
Zhou Lin blushed because he thought of other things he could do, but the brother and sister, who were very tacitly in sync, did not respond to this and just walked into the house with their faces red.
Zhou Lin truly lives up to his reputation as a human Lalamove deliveryman; he carried all the items that would normally require two people to make three trips upstairs in just three trips by himself.
Everything was put away, and it was noon.
When her sister-in-law came to visit, Zhizhi felt it wasn't right to let her eat in the cafeteria, so she volunteered to cook.
Zhou Lin said, "You just got off the bus, rest for a bit, I'll take over."
Zhou Chan felt embarrassed to just sit and wait to eat, so she quickly got up and said, "I'll help."
Zhizhi stood up and said, "The baby in my belly is very well-behaved. I haven't thrown up even once, and I have a good appetite and can eat and sleep well."
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
Zhizhi went to open the door, and Wen Jinzhou was standing outside.
Upon seeing Wen Jinzhou, Zhizhi naturally called out, "Second Brother!"
Zhou Chan: How come my sister-in-law has a second brother now?
Thinking this, she looked at Zhou Lin with a questioning gaze. Zhou Lin said, "I've been busy just now and forgot to tell you, the Xie family is not your second sister-in-law's real family."
As they were talking, Zhizhi pulled Wen Jinzhou into the house.
She even pulled Wen Jinzhou to the kitchen doorway to introduce him to Zhou Chan, saying, "Xiao Chan, let me introduce you to this. This is my second brother."
"I forgot to tell you earlier, I'm not the Xie family's biological daughter. I was adopted. This is my real brother."
“I also have an older brother. They are all in Beijing. I just came back from Beijing today.”
Wen Jinzhou took the initiative to greet Zhou Chan, "Hello, my surname is Wen and my name is Wen Jinzhou. You and Zhizhi can both call me Second Brother."
Zhou Chan nodded to him, "My name is Zhou Chan."
She doesn't stutter when talking to others, but her attitude isn't particularly enthusiastic.
Wen Jinzhou, however, remained as warm and friendly as ever. He said, "You and Zhou Lin look quite alike, just like me and Zhizhi."
He grinned after he finished speaking and tilted his head closer to Zhizhi.
Zhou Lin said, "Stay for lunch. Zhizhi brought back a lot of delicious food from Beijing."
Wen Jinzhou immediately replied, "Then I shall respectfully accept your offer."
Then Wen Jinzhou replaced Zhou Chan and sent her into the kitchen to help.
Zhou Chan was initially embarrassed. In her view, Wen Jinzhou was a guest, so how could she let a guest help her?
But Zhizhi pulled her out of the kitchen. "It's so cold. Let the men do these washing and scrubbing chores. They're tough and thick-skinned, which is more suitable for them."
"Come with your sister-in-law. She brought lots of snacks. Let me give you some to try."
Zhizhi not only shared snacks with Zhou Chan, but also gave her a bottle of face cream, saying, "I brought it back from Beijing. It feels really good to use. You should try it."
Zhou Chan was too embarrassed to accept it, but Zhizhi insisted on giving it to her.
Soon, the four dishes and one soup were ready. One of the dishes was a roast chicken that Zhizhi brought down from the train, the soup was ham and cabbage soup, and there was also sweet and sour pork ribs.
Zhou Lin had bought the spare ribs that morning.
Zhizhi loves this dish, so he went to buy it early in the morning, just waiting for Zhizhi to come back and cook it for her.
As soon as the dishes were served, Zhou Lin frantically piled ribs into Zhizhi's bowl.
"I bought it this morning, try it and see if it's fresh."
Zhizhi was very emotional; after taking a bite, she said with a look of enjoyment, "Mmm, this is the taste! I've been dreaming of eating this."
Zhou Lin's desire for praise was satisfied, "Eat more."
The meal was quickly finished. After Wen Jinzhou left, Zhou Chan asked Zhou Lin if he was going home.
If they go back, she'll go with them; if they don't, she'll go back by herself first.
Zhou Lin told her, "I have to wait two more days."
“Then I’ll go back alone tomorrow,” Zhou Chan said.
"Chanchan, why don't you wait a couple of days and come with us?" Zhizhi said.
Zhou Chan looked at the one-bedroom apartment and shook her head. "The New Year is coming soon, and we definitely need to prepare some New Year's goods. My mother can't ride a bicycle, so I'll go back and help her."
After she said that, Zhizhi really couldn't stop her. "Then have your brother take you to the station tomorrow. Be careful on the way alone. Don't talk to strangers, and don't eat anything that strangers give you."
Her detailed instructions made Zhou Chan smile. "Okay, I understand."
Zhou Chan left the next day, taking a lot of things back with her, mostly food that Zhizhi had asked her to bring.
After Zhou Chan left, Wen Jinzhou also came to Zhizhi and said, "I'm going back to Beijing in a few days. When are you leaving?"
Zhizhi glanced at Zhou Lin.
Zhou Lin said it was the 20th of the twelfth lunar month.
Wen Jinzhou nodded, "Then it's about the same time, I'm two days earlier than you."
In Jiangcheng's winter, you really need to have a strong will. As soon as Zhizhi got into bed at night, she loved to snuggle up and wait for Zhou Lin to get into bed. As soon as Zhou Lin got into bed, she would snuggle into his arms, and her whole body would immediately warm up, as if she were hugging a natural stove.
Hugging her own big stove, Zhizhi was all over the other person's body, making "mua mua..."
"My husband smells so good!" she said, nuzzling him.
Zhou Lin's ears turned red again, but... he was enjoying it.
Of course, it was also frustrating.
However, he hid his "distress" and wouldn't let Zhizhi touch or budge on it.
Wen Zhizhi "??"
What's wrong with touching it?
"Touching you won't break a piece of your flesh."
Zhou Lin pursed his thin lips, unsure how to explain his fear.
He was still afraid that the absence of Dandan would frighten Zhizhi.
Fortunately, Zhizhi didn't insist. If she couldn't touch him, she would snuggle into his arms like a cat and "sniff" him, calling it "replenishing her yang energy!"
"I'm so sensitive to the cold because I'm lacking yang energy."
Two days after Wen Jinzhou left, Zhou Lin also drove back with Zhizhi in a car he borrowed from the military.
Otherwise, with Zhizhi pregnant, he was afraid her body wouldn't be able to handle the train, bus, and tractor transfer.
It took Zhizhi a full day and night to travel from Jiangcheng to Zhanghoutun Village by train, but Zhou Lin only took half a day by car. They drove home in the morning and arrived home in the evening.
Just as Wu Caifeng finished kneading the dough inside, Zhou Chan slipped into the kitchen from outside and said, "My second brother and sister-in-law are back."
Upon hearing this, Wu Caifeng quickly put down the dough and headed towards Zhou Lin and the others.
