Wen Chuyi was taken aback, then realized what she was worried about, and smiled irritably.
"You're being too careful. I'm not that delicate."
As she spoke, she had already taken the basket off her back. Zhu Qinghao quickly helped her by pulling on it to prevent the basket from pressing on her stomach.
"We still need to be careful. This basket is quite heavy, and it's filled with so many things. My sister-in-law isn't that delicate, but my little nephew and niece are."
"It's not even born yet, and it has to bear such a heavy weight, how can it possibly bear it?..."
Zhu Qinghao's face wasn't serious; in fact, she was always smiling, but she kept talking, which made Wen Chuyi quickly beg for mercy.
"Okay, okay, I'll remember that, please forgive me!"
Their conversation sounded like a stand-up comedy routine, drawing the attention of almost everyone in the room, who watched and laughed.
Zhu Qinghao and Wen Chuyi noticed the gazes of their family members, exchanged a glance, and both burst into laughter, thus bringing the topic to a close.
By the time Zhu Xinhao and Wen Chuyi had set the table and brought out the food, the family had almost finished their tasks and could start preparing for dinner.
At this moment, Grandpa Ma and his wife tried to sneak away, but Zhu Qinghao caught them red-handed.
"Grandpa Ma, Grandma Ma, where are you going? It's time to eat. Stay and eat with us so we don't have to go back and make it all over again."
At this moment, Zhu Yanzhi noticed them and quickly came over to pull them away.
"That's right, Uncle Ma, you and your wife have been busy here all afternoon. You must not have cooked at home. It would be cold and empty when you go back. You might as well eat with us here."
Stay and try my daughter's cooking; I guarantee you'll love it!
At this point, the entire family gathered around, and the elderly couple couldn't leave even if they wanted to, so they had no choice but to stay with smiles on their faces.
"Alright, then we'll stay and bother you."
They initially didn't want to stay, partly because they were worried that Zhu Qinghao wouldn't have enough to eat, and partly because they didn't want to disturb the family's warm moment. But to their surprise, the whole family didn't want them to leave.
"Brother Ma, please don't say such things. We live next door to each other, so we should help each other out."
Not to mention, you've been helping us with our current situation all along, and we should be thanking you properly..."
Old Man Ma quickly waved his hand, denying Zhu Huaichuan's words.
"Hey~ You can't say that. I've received a lot of help from you all. If I were to thank you, I could never finish."
"That's exactly right, so let's not talk about these formalities and not be so polite."
"Okay, good..."
During the meal, the elderly couple witnessed once again the harmony and love within the Zhu family, and were deeply moved.
Of course, everyone praised the food, and even Zhu Qinghao herself thought it was delicious in every way.
The most obvious example is Wen Chuyi. Since the onset of pregnancy symptoms, she has not been able to eat so freely, so she almost overate again.
After the meal, Zhu Yanzhi and Zhao Cheng followed Grandpa Ma and carried the meat of the wild boar little by little to their side, preparing to hide it.
It wouldn't work with the Zhu family, because someone could come to their house at any time. But it's different with Grandpa Ma and Grandma Ma; under normal circumstances, no one would search their place.
Zhu Qinghao listened to their discussion the whole time, without mentioning anything about helping them keep the meat safe, letting them decide for themselves.
This little wild boar was discovered and brought back by Zhu Yanzhi and Old Man Ma.
