Zhu Qinghao was preparing to make pumpkin steamed buns. Seeing him approach, she readily gave up her place to knead the dough and quietly went to check on the brown sugar steamed buns in the pot.
Zhu Qinghao didn't say much about Zhu Qi'an's feelings of guilt, letting him keep busy so he wouldn't have time to think about those things.
Zhu Qi'an was kneading the dough, and the brown sugar steamed buns that had been steamed earlier were ready to be taken out of the pot.
Having probably learned from Tian Haiying many times, Zhu Qinghao's steamed buns were indeed quite good. As soon as they came out of the steamer, she tore off a piece to taste and found it delicious, so she gave another piece to Zhu Qi'an.
Zhu Qi'an was kneading the dough with great effort when he suddenly felt something near his mouth. Without even looking closely, he opened his mouth and took it. After chewing a couple of bites, he realized it was a brown sugar steamed bun.
"How's it, bro? How's the taste?"
He nodded first, then pondered it for a moment.
"Very good, very delicious! Our family is amazing; they can make even ordinary steamed buns taste this good!"
Zhu Qinghao was naturally happy to be praised, but she couldn't help feeling a little shy.
"I'm glad you like it. I learned it from the aunties in the team. I studied for a long time, and now it looks pretty decent."
Zhu Qi'an knew that his younger sister was not good at these things, so when he first tasted the flavor, he knew that Zhu Qinghao must have studied for a long time.
Now that he heard her say it, his expression became even more complicated.
"Yes, Haohao is the best in our family. She has learned things that her older brother and sister-in-law cannot do. Thank you for your hard work."
"It's not hard work. As long as my family is safe and healthy, everything I've done is worth it."
Zhu Qinghao's voice is gentle, yet carries an undeniable firmness.
Speaking of his family's safety and health, Zhu Qi'an suddenly thought of the dream Wen Chuyi had told him before going to sleep, and a chill ran down his spine, making his hair stand on end.
He originally didn't want to believe in dreams, feeling they were all nonsense, but when Wen Chuyi spoke of them, the pain on her face made it seem like it was nothing more than a dream.
He wanted to ask Zhu Qing how she was, but after thinking about it, he kept quiet.
However, Zhu Qinghao clearly saw his hesitation.
"Brother, what are you trying to say?"
Zhu Qi'an was taken aback and repeatedly denied it.
"No, I was just thinking about something else."
Zhu Qinghao clearly didn't quite believe it, but she didn't insist.
Just as she was about to change the subject, she heard Zhu Qi'an speak again.
"Okay, about Liu Yansong and his family..."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Qinghao thought Zhu Qi'an was about to take revenge on them, so she quickly stopped him.
"Brother! Don't worry about this, I'll figure something out."
Perhaps it was the urgency in her tone that startled Zhu Qi'an, who asked, somewhat puzzled:
"No, why can Sheng Yi control me but I can't?"
This time, it was Zhu Qing's turn to be puzzled.
"What? When did he get involved in this matter?"
Seeing the genuine surprise on her face, Zhu Qi'an realized that it was real. Thinking back to Sheng Yi's previous behavior, he immediately understood the key point and couldn't help but laugh.
Zhu Qinghao stood aside, watching his smile, completely bewildered.
"elder brother?"
