As a result, the family accumulated more and more sticky rice cakes, pickled vegetables, dried goods, and so on, to the point that they even asked Old Man Ma to build a cabinet specifically for storing them.
Fortunately, several people in my family like sticky rice cakes, so we didn't stockpile any and used them all up.
And when Zhu Qinghao brought over all sorts of ingredients to make sticky rice cakes for them, they were quite happy. They even took out some ingredients themselves, intending to put them all together and make a lot.
Zhu Qinghao was genuinely surprised that they complained she hadn't brought enough food, but they were her family, so what could she do? She just had to indulge them!
Grandpa Zhu was especially fond of sticky rice cakes, and he could eat quite a few in one sitting, which shocked everyone.
"Dad, maybe you should eat less of the sticky rice cakes. They're not easy to digest, and you might feel unwell tonight..."
Zhu Yanzhi hesitated before speaking, trying to stop him.
Grandpa Zhu didn't even bother to glance at him, just one bite after another; one after another, and yet another.
He didn't stop until he felt he had eaten enough, then picked up his teacup, took a couple of sips of light tea, and let out a comfortable sigh.
Then he glanced sideways at the people on the table.
"You never eat properly, you just stare at others. Look, everyone else has finished eating, and he's still standing there like an idiot. Ah Zhu, Ah Jun, make the person who ate last wash the dishes and pots later!"
Upon hearing this, Zhu Qingyun and Zhen Zhu both looked at the table. Indeed, only Zhu Yanzhi and Zhao Cheng hadn't finished eating, because the two of them had been watching Old Master Zhu earlier.
"Okay, Dad, don't worry, we absolutely won't help them. We'll make them wash today, and we'll make them wash tomorrow too!"
The old man was very satisfied with the reply and nodded.
"Yes, that's exactly right. Let them both take their fill of washing."
Zhu Yanzhi and Zhao Cheng at the table exchanged glances, both choosing to wear bitter expressions as they continued eating.
Others may not know what Zhu Yanzhi was thinking, but Zhao Cheng was filled with regret. Originally, this had nothing to do with him. If he had just glanced at it less and eaten faster, he wouldn't have been implicated.
But now, it's too late for regrets. The two of them had no choice but to obediently finish their meal and then diligently clean the entire house.
While they were cleaning, the old man would sit there and watch, and if he noticed anything wrong, he would immediately start coughing.
After Zhu Yanzhi and Zhao Cheng finished cleaning, they were drenched in sweat, more nervous than they had been doing anything else.
Fortunately, the final result was acceptable; at least it passed the old man's inspection, and judging from his performance, he seemed quite satisfied.
It must be said that they were quite accurate in judging Old Master Zhu's mood; the next second, Old Master Zhu stood up.
"Hmm, well done, keep it up tomorrow."
After saying that, she glanced at the two of them with a smile, then walked away with her hands behind her back, seemingly humming a little tune.
Zhu Qinghao was fortunate enough to witness the whole thing, but she didn't say anything, she just smiled along with the others.
"Okay, why don't you come with us and try to persuade Grandpa? Grandpa loves you the most; maybe if you talk to him, he'll listen..."
