When they saw that dinner was going to be made, the whole family started to move.
The eldest sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law went to the kitchen to help. Chen Qiaoyi and the eldest sister were not even allowed to enter the kitchen because they were pregnant.
The second sister doesn’t like to do housework, so of course she didn’t go there at this time.
What's more, there are already so many people in the kitchen, and she is not the only one left.
Chen Shiying went to help diligently, but she was kicked out by Zhou's mother.
Zhou's mother smiled and said: "Shiying, you should also take a rest. There are many people today, so we are enough in the kitchen."
Chen Shiying nodded helplessly and had to return to the living room to accompany Zhou Ziwen Playing with little Yueyue.
Little Yueyue was so excited when she saw so many people. She ran around in the living room and kept shouting: "So many people, so many people."
Zhou Ziwen smiled and grabbed her, held her in his arms, and said softly: "Little Yueyue, don't run too fast, be careful of falling."
But little Yueyue struggled to get down and continued. Her "adventure".
At this time, Zhou Xiaomei also walked out of the room and couldn't help laughing when she saw little Yueyue's appearance.
She walked over, took little Yueyue from Zhou Ziwen's arms, and said, "Little Yueyue, aunt will take you to see something fun."
As she said that, she held little Yueyue in her arms. Yueyue walked into the side room.
In the living room, Zhou Ziwen and Zhou's father were sitting on the sofa, talking about things in the village.
Dad Zhou was very satisfied with Zhou Ziwen's performance in Dabazi Village. He said: "Ziwen, you did a good job in the village and brought glory to the family."
Zhou Ziwen smiled modestly and said, "Dad, this is what I should do. The people in the village are also very good to me and have given me a lot of help."
In the kitchen, the elder sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law Are busy preparing meals.
The elder sister-in-law Lin Xiaomei said to the second sister-in-law Liu Huifang while cutting vegetables: "Huifang, let's cook a few more dishes today to celebrate."
The second sister-in-law nodded with a smile and said: "Okay, sister-in-law, what are your specialty dishes today?"
Sister-in-law thought for a while and said, "I'll make braised pork. Everyone likes it."
The second sister-in-law said: "Then I will make sweet and sour pork ribs and stir-fry some green vegetables."
The two of them were talking and operating skillfully.
After a while, a burst of fragrance came from the kitchen.
Ma Zhou was directing from the side, reminding them to pay attention to the heat from time to time.
She said: "This braised pork needs to be simmered over low heat to get the best flavor."
The eldest sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law nodded quickly and followed Mother Zhou's instructions.
In the room, Zhou Xiaomei was playing with toys with little Yueyue.
Little Yueyue was particularly interested in a little rag doll brought by Zhou Xiaomei and kept playing with it.
Zhou Xiaomei said with a smile: "Little Yueyue, does this doll look good?"
Little Yueyue said in a sweet voice: "It looks good." Zhou Xiaomei said: "Then my aunt gave it to me. Can I give it to you?”
Little Yueyue's eyes lit up, she nodded quickly and said, "Okay, thank you, auntie."
Zhou Xiaomei is almost used to how smart little Yueyue is.
Although little Yueyue is still a few days shy of being one year old, her thinking ability is no worse than that of a two-year-old child.
Little Yueyue inherited the excellent genes of Zhou Ziwen and Chen Qiaoyi and is very cute.
Under Zhou Ziwen's training, he has been smart since he was a child.
In the living room, the conversation between Zhou Ziwen and Zhou's father turned from things in the village to little Yueyue's future.
Dad Zhou smiled and said, "Ziwen, little Yueyue is so smart, she needs to be nurtured well in the future." Dad actually felt bad about his granddaughter suffering in the countryside with his youngest son.
But there is no way. As an educated youth who went to the countryside, it is not so easy to come back.
But Zhou Ziwen is not worried at all, because this year will be 76 years old.
He recovered as soon as he passed the college entrance examination in 1976, and he would have plenty of ways to return to the city by then.
He has already planned to go to college with his two sisters. After returning to the city, he will leave little Yueyue in the care of Zhou's mother, while they study peacefully in school.
As for whether he can pass the exam, Zhou Ziwen is not worried at all.
For the college entrance examination, Zhou Ziwen has been preparing the two sisters since last year.
Every night, after a busy day of farm work, he would urge Chen Qiaoyi and Chen Shiying to study.
Of course, I couldn't tell Dad Zhou about this.
After all, there is no news yet that the college entrance examination is about to resume.
He also cannot show his ability to predict the future.
In the kitchen, the elder sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law have already prepared the meals.
The sister-in-law shouted: "It's time to eat, everyone come and eat."
Everyone came to the dining table and sat down.
The dining table is filled with sumptuous dishes. The braised pork is bright red in color and fragrant; the sweet and sour pork ribs are sour and sweet, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside; the green vegetables are fresh and green, which will increase your appetite.
There are also several other home-cooked side dishes, all of which are also very delicious.
Dad Zhou looked at the table full of dishes and said with a smile: "Today's meal is really rich, thank you for your hard work."
Sister-in-law said with a smile: "Dad, it's not hard. It’s fun for everyone to gather together today.”
Zhou's mother also smiled and said: "Okay, let's eat quickly."
Everyone started to use chopsticks to eat.
Little Yueyue sat on the children's dining chair and ate with gusto.
She grabbed a piece of braised pork with her little hands, put it into her mouth and took a bite. Then she closed her eyes, with a satisfied expression on her face, and said vaguely: "It's delicious."
< br>Everyone couldn't help laughing when they saw little Yueyue's appearance.
Everyone couldn't help laughing when they saw little Yueyue's appearance.
Little Yueyue was a little baffled by everyone's laughter. She opened her big eyes, looked at this, then looked at that, and then she also laughed. The clear laughter was like a silver bell. , echoing in the room.
Today is a rare gathering of the whole family. Father Zhou seemed very happy. As the head of the Zhou family, he picked up the wine glass, cleared his throat and said:
"Come on, Everyone raises their glasses. Today we are reunited as a family. This is a good thing and deserves to be celebrated.”
Everyone raised their glasses, and even little Yueyue raised her small water glass, imitating the adults.
Dad Zhou continued: "First of all, welcome Ziwen, Qiaoyi and Shiying home. You have worked hard in the countryside this year. Especially Ziwen, you have done a great job in Dabazi Village. Dad is proud of you."
Zhou Ziwen stood up quickly and said with some embarrassment: "Dad, this is what I should do. Without the teachings of you and mom for so many years, I wouldn't be able to do it. That's all."
Dad Zhou smiled and waved his hand, motioning for him to sit down, and then continued: "Qiaoyi and Shiying are also very sensible and take good care of the family. I hope you will be better in the future. The better, come, let’s all drink together!”
Everyone said in unison: “Cheers!”
After dinner, everyone sat in the living room and chatted.
It wasn't until it was almost dark that the eldest brother and the second brother reluctantly left.
But today Zheng Ming drank a lot of wine because of the news that his eldest sister was pregnant, and he was already very drunk. (End of this chapter)
