Zhu Qinghao couldn't help but feel fortunate that she hadn't used the space to go directly to the door, otherwise she might have scared Zhen Zhu quite a bit.
After visiting many times, she noticed that the Zhu family would sometimes wait at the door, so she no longer dared to use the space to go directly to the door. Instead, she would go behind a small mound in front of their house and walk over in a few steps.
Fortunately, she was cautious enough this time.
This incident served as a wake-up call for her, reminding her that she should never be too careless, no matter where she is or what time it is.
"Mom, why are you standing at the door on such a cold day?"
As soon as Zhu Qinghao turned the corner from the mound, Zhen Zhu saw her and was already standing in front of her.
“You said you were coming yesterday, so I came out to greet you. I was worried you might have too much stuff to carry.”
Zhu Qinghao obediently handed over the enamel basin containing stewed rabbit meat that she was carrying, but Zhen Zhu took the thermos hanging on her wrist as well.
"Honey, does your wrist hurt? Don't carry so much next time. We can make our own soup. It's so heavy, hanging on your wrist, and you have to carry such heavy things on your back, plus you're holding a basin in your hands. How can you stand it?"
Zhenzhu felt heartbroken, and her eyes welled up with tears again. She quickly turned her head to the other side so that her daughter wouldn't see.
Zhu Qinghao noticed something was amiss and reached out to hug her.
"Mom, I'm fine. I'm much better now. These things are nothing to me, really."
Also, I'm starving after cooking this meal. Let's go inside and eat! I made braised rabbit today, and I think it turned out pretty well. You definitely have to try it!
Zhenzhu held back her tears and forced a smile.
"Okay, Mom will definitely try my baby's cooking. But even if I don't try it, I know my baby will definitely do a great job."
Next time you carry this much stuff, let Mom and Auntie pick you up, okay?
To stop her from thinking about it any longer, Zhu Qinghao readily nodded and happily agreed.
"Okay, then I'll bring less next time. If I bring too much, I'll ask you to come pick me up, okay?"
Zhu Qinghao's eyes sparkled in the night, making Pearl's heart soften with each glance, and her tone became incredibly gentle.
"Okay, that's right. Let's go in, baby."
The mother and daughter entered the house one after the other, and Zhu Qinghao then realized that everyone in the family was busy, even Grandpa Ma and his wife were helping out.
Upon closer inspection, it turned out they had brought back a wild boar.
"Dad, Uncle, what's this...?"
Zhu Yanzhi was sweating profusely from his busy work, but he looked up at her and smiled.
"Grandpa Ma and I were lucky. We found a small wild boar in a trap near the foot of the mountain, and we managed to bring it back."
Please put your things down and sit for a while. We'll be done cleaning up soon, and we'll eat in a bit!
Zhu Qinghao nodded when she saw that they were indeed finishing up. But when she turned around, she saw Wen Chuyi reaching out to take her basket, which startled her so much that she dared not make any further movements.
"Sister-in-law, you, you be careful, I won't move."
