Zhou Zehan immediately slowed down his pace. Although Zhou Yueshen had never been cruel to them, his sharp eyebrows alone were enough to scare a child to tears.
Zhou Zehan is still afraid of this father.
After walking deeper and deeper, he ran into the kitchen and washed his hands.
As soon as Zhou Yueshen walked over, Si Nian waved to him: "Zhou Yueshen, come here quickly, let's make dumplings together."
Zhou Yueshen raised his eyes and looked at her for a while, then said yes.
He walked over and sat down next to Si Nian.
Zhou Zehan quickly ran over, waving his hands, and squeezed in between Zhou Yueshen and Si Nian.
He also said, "Dad, please sit over a little bit apart from me."
Zhou Yueshen glanced at his youngest son, and moved some distance to let him squeeze in.
Zhou Zedong walked over with his sister in his arms, looked at the two of them, and then at his brother sitting in the middle, pursed his lips, walked to the other side of Si Nian and sat down.
"Brother, look at me making dumplings." Zhou Zehan pinched a piece of dough and showed it to Zhou Zedong in a pretentious manner.
Zhou Zedong glanced at the wrinkled face and said nothing.
Zhou Zehan didn't care and said to himself: "Brother, let's compete to see who can bag the most bags."
"Mom, who do you think will win between me and my brother?"
Si Nian said with a smile on his face: "Although mom doesn't know that you will win, she will help you cheer."
Zhou Zedong, who was reaching for the dough, paused. He glanced at Si Nian, met her eyes, his face turned red, and he lowered his head without saying a word, but the speed of his hands obviously increased.
Zhou Zehan nodded and said immediately: "Then I will definitely win!"
He is not as good as his brother in learning, but he is definitely better than his brother in making dumplings!
If you want to ask why, Zhou Zehan doesn't know. Anyway, he has this kind of mysterious self-confidence.
"I want to eat a big meat filling!" He stuffed a large ball of meat into his dough.
Zhou Zedong didn't say anything and added more meat to his dough. But he was not as stupid as his younger brother. If there was too much meat, the dough would definitely not be able to cover it.
Si Nian glanced at Zhou Yueshen, originally thinking that he wouldn't do it, but he didn't expect that the old man was quite skillful in his skills.
She raised her eyebrows and glanced at the little dick again. There was too much meat on the little dick, and the dough was bursting open.
The little guy looked around guiltily. No one seemed to notice his mistake, so he pinched some noodles to make up for it...
Looking at Zhou Zedong again, he lowered his head like a little adult and pinched his face with both hands. His face was full of seriousness and seriousness...
Dahuang squatted aside and watched the dumplings being made next to the family.
The family was happily making dumplings when a sharp voice suddenly sounded outside the door: "Brother, where is your rhubarb? Kill it? Just kill it. That big dog looks very fierce and can bite people." It’s not good.”
As soon as they heard the voices, everyone in the room, including Dahuang, frowned and looked over.
Dahuang: "?" I heard that I am dead?
Si Nian frowned and looked at the door. Zhou Tingting walked in carrying large and small bags.
It hasn't been long since you've been at peace, and you're acting like a monster again?
Fortunately, she still had the nerve to come over.
The two little guys looked at Zhou Tingting who came in from the door defensively. Zhou Yue frowned deeply. When he saw Zhou Tingting, his expression was cold: "What are you doing here?"
Zhou Tingting gritted her teeth with hatred when she saw the whole family sitting around the table making dumplings in a friendly and warm manner.
My family is in a bad situation now, my mother-in-law has lost her job, my brother-in-law is in jail, and I have to spend money to send him to jail every month.
The pressure is on my husband and myself.
She had a big fight with her husband yesterday and was kicked out.
Zhou Tingting had no place to go, so she could only run back to the countryside in despair.
She knew that since her relationship with her eldest brother collapsed, the Li family did not take her seriously.
She also scolded her all day long, calling her a loser.
Zhou Tingting felt extremely aggrieved. Yesterday, she was scolded even worse after she heard that the Zhou family helped Sinian's mother-in-law make money selling braised pork.
Now she is kicked out by her husband.
Zhou Tingting felt aggrieved.
But she knew that as long as she had a good relationship with her eldest brother, her husband would definitely beg her to go back with his face in mind.
So after much thought, she came back.
Fortunately, today went smoothly and we didn't meet that big dog at the door. Otherwise, why would she really not dare to come in rashly?
Seeing the whole family casting displeased looks at her, Zhou Tingting was also shameless. She carried her things forward, sat down, looked at the dumplings on the table and said, "Brother, what can I do here?" Ah, of course I came to see you and the children. I have been busy before and haven’t been home for a long time. I know what happened before was my fault, and I also know that I was wrong. Don’t worry about me. No matter what happens, she is still your biological sister."
After Zhou Tingting finished speaking pitifully, she looked at the minced meat on the table. It was not convenient to take a car in this poor place, so they would only take her to the town.
She had come all the way, still carrying something in her hands, and was tired and hungry.
He was not polite at this moment and said with a smile: "Eat dumplings. I happen to be hungry too. Sister-in-law, please give me another bowl."
She actually called Si Nian sister-in-law, with a flattering tone on her face.
Si Nian had goosebumps when he heard this.
As the saying goes, if you work hard if you have nothing to do, you will commit adultery or steal.
It is obvious that she is talking about Zhou Tingting.
Before Si Nian could speak, Zhou Yueshen spoke in a deep voice: "You have no hands?"
Si Nian is her sister-in-law, so it is not her turn to take charge.
Zhou Tingting's smile froze. Normally, she would have gotten angry with Zhou Yueshen's attitude.
Today, I looked like I had seen a ghost and smiled apologetically: "Yes, yes, I will cook it myself."
The two little guys looked at her cooking dumplings and immediately slumped their shoulders.
Unhappiness was written all over his little face.
The warm atmosphere just now was suddenly broken. They didn't like this aunt very much.
It was a pity that Zhou Tingting was not conscious at all, so she warmly brought bowls and chopsticks to several people.
"Brother, I was kicked out by my husband's family. I may have to stay with you for a few days. Don't worry, I am definitely not here to cause trouble this time. I have now clearly seen the true face of the Li family. I will never be with you because of them. You had a fight."
She pretended to wipe her tears and glanced at Zhou Yueshen secretly.
But he looked cold and unmoved.
Zhou Tingting gritted her teeth and suddenly started crying.
"Brother, please take me in for a few days. I know what I did to my sister-in-law made you disappointed in me, but that was all forced on me by the Li family."
After saying that, she looked at Sinian again: "Sister-in-law, please keep me here. I can work as a cow or a horse for you. I'll stay for a while and then leave. Really!"
Si Nian said nothing, but looked at Zhou Yueshen.
Zhou Tingting was his biological sister, so she couldn't say much.
Because of what happened before, his reputation in the village has been greatly affected.
Although she doesn't care, it doesn't sound good if it is spread too much.
Si Nian felt that some things had to be done by Zhou Yueshen.
Zhou Tingting cried as she went and didn't forget to pack the dumplings.
She is quite picky and specializes in pressing beautiful dumpling tongs.
Zhou Zehan recognized it at a glance, it was made by his mother!
The little guy suddenly felt bad. He hugged the dumplings in front of him and wanted to get off the table. He didn't want to see this annoying aunt.
Zhou Tingting frowned. Zhou Zehan was timid before. Seeing her coming was like a mouse seeing a cat.
Terrified.
But now he is bolder and dares to shame himself.
Even if his eldest brother and Si Nian were scornful of him, he, a little orphan, dared to scorn his aunt. He was going against the grain!
Thinking that this child was not like this before, it must be a problem that Si Nian was used to.
He couldn't help but said: "Brother, look at this child, you haven't taught him well. My aunt didn't know how to call someone when she came, she even gave me a bad look, and she doesn't know how to teach her child."
She meant something.
Zhou Yueshen suppressed the boredom in his heart, and his attitude became colder: "I taught you that you can't do well as an elder, and you still think about how you will be treated by a younger one? I don't have any extra room here for you to live in. You can go back."
He spoke coldly and did not relent because of Zhou Tingting's flattery.
His sister has always been stupid, but after all, she is his biological sister, and Zhou Yueshen cannot possibly say that he is ignoring her.
I have gotten a lot better after getting married over the years. I never thought that after I got married to Si Nian, it would start again.
Zhou Yue was deeply annoyed by her behavior of looking for trouble.
Zhou Tingting touched her nose guiltily, thinking that the last time she brought someone to do something, the children must have been frightened.
Is this what eldest brother is talking about?
She reasoned and said: "Brother, I know I was wrong, and I apologize to you, but have you forgotten that my sister's death anniversary will be in a few days? I came back mainly for this matter..."
Speaking of her deceased sister, she was somewhat sad and squeezed out a few tears: "My sister has been gone for so long, and we are the only two siblings left in the family. My sister definitely doesn't want to see us like this."
She looked at Zhou Yueshen and saw that his face was expressionless, and it was inevitable that she felt a little resentful in her heart.
He is his own brother, and he only wants to go home for two days, but he doesn't want to.
Zhou Tingting felt as if she had been betrayed by the whole world, and her heart was broken.
"If you don't forgive me because of what I did to my sister-in-law before, then I will kneel outside until you are willing to forgive me."
After saying that, she put down her bowls and chopsticks and pretended to go out.
Three, two, one...stop me!
Zhou Tingting was anxious. She didn't really want to kneel down, she just wanted to scare them. Today was New Year's Day, and there were many people passing by outside.
If you let everyone see it, you might start gossiping about them.
That's why she threatens like this.
Who knew that this family was all hard-hearted.
Zhou Tingting rolled her eyes in anger.
Seeing that people are ignoring me and throwing water out of my mouth, I can't go back on my words now.
Zhou Tingting gritted her teeth and really wanted to kneel down.
The moment her knees fell to the ground, Zhou Tingting felt humiliated like never before.
At this moment, she felt that her self-esteem had been completely trampled under her feet.
Kneeling inside the house, she could pretend, but outside, people would pass by all the time.
If people see it, not only the Zhou family, but also his own face will be completely embarrassed.
At this time, Si Nian spoke: "Okay, get up, I can't bear such a big gift."
Zhou Tingting's face was distorted for a while, but when faced with her brother's indifferent expression, she still forced a smile: "Does that allow me to stay? Sister-in-law, you have to take care of the children now, and you have to deliver food to my eldest brother. You must be too busy to work, right? I'm here, and I can also help you, don't worry, I won't eat your food in vain."
She thought that if she stayed, she could learn from his master.
It just so happens that my mother-in-law is out of work. When she learns the art of braised pork, will she still worry about not being able to make money in the future?
Thinking of this, Zhou Tingting suddenly felt that all the grievances she was suffering now were worth it.
She is trying her best to survive.
Of course, she would definitely not dare to say anything about this now. She would only show that she sincerely wanted to help, admit her mistakes, and ease the relationship.
Si Nian said, "Really? Do you mean what you say?"
Zhou Tingting smiled and said, "Of course it's true."
Si Nian looked at Zhou Yueshen and said, "Sure, since your sister is so thoughtful, just keep her, otherwise she will just kneel outside and make people laugh. Those who don't know may think that we are too ruthless as brothers and sisters-in-law."
These words were revealed mercilessly, and Zhou Tingting blushed.
The back molars were shattered.
Zhou Yueshen looked at Si Nian for a while and saw that she really had this intention, so he said nothing.
…
The originally beautiful atmosphere of eating dumplings became boring because of Zhou Tingting's arrival.
The most fragrant meat on weekdays has become less fragrant.
Zhou Tingting went to fish for dumplings. As soon as she fished out one, Zhou Zehan couldn't help but said, "Dad made this for mom."
Zhou Tingting grinded her teeth with hatred. When she saw Zhou Yueshen looking over, she immediately smiled and said, "I'm serving this to my sister-in-law." After that, she glared at the younger brother.
Nosy brat.
The little boy is not afraid of her either. He was afraid before, but now he is not afraid.
Because mom and dad will protect him!
Seeing Zhou Tingting fishing again, he immediately said: "My brother gave this to my mother!"
"..."
"I did this for my mother, I didn't do it for you."
"You!" Zhou Tingting was so angry that she almost threw the bowl.
Mom, mom, your mother died long ago, and now you are treating a thief as your own mother!
She ignored Zhou Zehan. At worst, she would go get some pretty ones. These bags were so ugly that she didn't want to eat them.
After the whole family finished fishing, she hurriedly threw a few packages of very delicate ones into the pot.
The little boy put down his dumplings, turned around and ran over again. Staring at the dumplings she cooked, his eyes immediately widened.
"What's wrong?" Zhou Tingting was going crazy.
"Mom made this for me, wuwuwu, you can't snatch it from me."
Zhou Tingting: "......?"
After the meal, Zhou Yueshen went upstairs to install the bathtub for Si Nian.
When Zhou Tingting saw Zhou Yueshen's absence, her face immediately changed.
She sat on the sofa like a boss, watched the second child and the second boss watching TV, and immediately started giving orders.
"Little old man and little old man, how do you usually spend your free time like this? Do you know if you can help out more? There are no country people who are as idle as you."
After Zhou Tingting finished speaking, she started to give instructions: "Little boss, go get a glass of water for my aunt."
"Little brother, go and sweep the floor. Can't you see that this room is all dirty? That dog was so dirty and he let it in. I don't know how many parasites there are! Wipe everything inside and out quickly. Eh~ It's really Can’t stand it.”
When the two little guys heard this, they looked at each other and neither of them moved.
Si Nian walked downstairs and when he heard this, he looked at Zhou Tingting with a half-smile and said, "Didn't my sister-in-law say that she would come and work as a cow or a horse for me? Why is the child coming now? It's rare for Xiaodong and Xiaohan to have a day off. They have to have a good rest, otherwise they won’t have the energy to study.”
After Si Nian finished speaking, he showed a friendly smile to Zhou Tingting, "My sister-in-law admitted her mistake to me so seriously and even treated me like a cow or a horse. She even knelt down. As a sister-in-law, I am very tolerant and can't pretend not to see it. Since So, I will give you this opportunity now. The house is indeed a little dirty. Help me sweep the house and mop it clean with water. By the way, the Chinese New Year is coming soon, so the windows inside and outside here need to be wiped. After that, the kitchen The dishes and chopsticks have been washed. There is not much firewood at home. You are fine anyway. You don’t have to go to work. You can go pick up some firewood and come back later. The sun is rare today. When you come back from collecting firewood, wash Dahuang’s kennel. Have a good winter..."
