Chapter 691 Love Soup
One update arrived.
Old Mrs. Ding saw her granddaughter-in-law chatting animatedly with the Zhou family's daughter-in-law, and smiled happily: "My chess pieces are pretty good, but I don't have enough friends. Sister-in-law, I'll let her visit your house more often in the future, okay?" ?”
Relatively speaking, Mrs. Zhou had a good impression of Wang Qi, so she nodded and said, "Okay, I welcome him very much, and you and Lao Dingtou are also welcome to come and play there often."
"Sister-in-law, I take these words seriously."
"Who else can't lie to you?" Old Mrs. Zhou glared at her dissatisfied, "When did you see me talk nonsense?"
Old Mrs. Ding laughed and said, "Sister-in-law, I'm not too happy, so I just want to make sure again. I will tell Old Ding what sister-in-law said later. He may not be so happy."
Mrs. Zhou couldn't help but tease her: "No wonder he is like a tiger in front of others, but turns into a cat when he is in front of you. The only person in the world who understands him best and thinks about him best is you. He is not ungrateful. How can you not understand this?"
"Sister-in-law, you are really flattering me. He is good to me, not because he cares about me, but because he doesn't dare to disobey me because of my serious illness..." Old Mrs. Ding said He sighed and said, "If I leave, who can tolerate his bad temper? He is afraid that I will leave him and leave first."
"If you say that, you are wronging him. When he was young, who did you think he obeyed? But as long as you ask him to do something, even if others quarrel with you before, will they follow your wishes afterwards? Done?"
After thinking about it for a while, Old Mrs. Ding laughed: "Listen to what you said, that's really what happened. You said that he is a good person, but you can't say that he is a good person. It offends him. Clean."
"Having been together for a long time, I understand his character, so I won't be angry with him..." Mrs. Zhou sighed with emotion, "Don't Lao Zhou and his temperament have the same temperament? Otherwise, how can they always fight each other for the rest of their lives? Well, everyone else knows how to get around it, but the two of them have to decide the right and wrong. At this age, their temper is still the same as that of a young man. I don’t know when I can really restrain my temper. "
Mrs. Ding waved her hands repeatedly: "Sister-in-law, don't compare Brother Zhou with him. If he could have half the good temper of Brother Zhou, I would be satisfied."
"They're almost the same, haha..." Seeing that both the Ding family's daughter-in-law and her own daughter-in-law looked embarrassed, Mrs. Zhou laughed, "Look, we've uncovered our shirts, and they don't even know what to say."
Mrs. Ding also laughed. Yes, they talked happily in order to ease the relationship, but for a daughter-in-law, how should she interrupt?
Are you saying that your father-in-law has a bad temper? It doesn't seem to work.
You said your father-in-law has a good temper? It doesn’t seem to work either.
The two old ladies changed the subject and talked about something else. An old lady of this age, even at this level, does not talk about her husband. What can be said is the children and grandchildren, but now for them. The greatest concern, of course, is the great-grandchildren, in this regard. Of course, Mrs. Ding was still very envious of Mrs. Zhou, so the two old ladies started another round of complimenting each other.
This time, the daughters-in-law were able to chime in, with the exception of Liang Xiaohong, the second daughter-in-law of the Zhou family.
The eldest brother’s two daughters-in-law, one daughter is pregnant, and the other is a twin. The third brother’s side also needs to increase its population. Only his son has no faith, and his daughter has no faith... Thinking of this, Liang Xiaohong’s eyes were filled with tears. She felt a little hot, and in order to hide her emotions, she quickly lowered her head.
Of course Lin Yanqiu noticed Liang Xiaohong's discomfort, but trying to persuade him would only make the other party feel more embarrassed about this kind of thing, so she simply pretended not to notice. However, she basically didn't interrupt. Sometimes, silence was actually to the other party. maximum support.
Liang Xiaohong was not a pushy person. She only felt embarrassed for a short time before she recovered. She knew that her mother-in-law did not complain at all about her side of the matter. If she really looked unhappy, she would It's a joke to outsiders.
How could Mrs. Zhou really not notice her daughter-in-law's reaction when she was talking to Mrs. Ding? However, neither daughter-in-law disappointed her, and the smile on her lips deepened unconsciously...
Over there, Mr. Zhou and Mr. Ding were reminiscing about the past, surrounded by a group of juniors, and the atmosphere was of course very good...
It seems that everyone has forgotten the previous unpleasantness, and also forgotten Ding Junpeng who went upstairs to find Li Miao.
…
When Zhou Mikang brought Chu Xia to the Liao family, Zhou Xiangping was sitting in the living room, flipping through a little book in boredom. When he saw the two people coming in, his smile immediately opened up: "Third brother and three sister-in-law, that's great, I'm all excited." I’m almost bored to death!”
"Where are the others?" Zhou Mikang asked with a frown. His sister was pregnant. How could no one in the Liao family be there, leaving his sister sitting in the hall by herself?
"Grandpa's old comrades-in-arms are having a gathering today, so they took grandma with them. My father-in-law is in the study, and my mother-in-law and Liao Hui are in the kitchen..." Zhou Xiangping lowered her voice with a bitter face, "They make a lot of soup for me to drink every day. I I feel like I’m almost turning into a water tank.”
"You should drink more soup now. Your sister-in-law also drinks it every day." Zhou Mikang said while pointing to Chu Xia, "Look, does your complexion feel better after drinking soup?"
I have a black streak in my head in early summer. Is there any such advice?
Zhou Xiangping also looked speechless: "Third brother, where are all this? I didn't say I won't drink, I just said that I can't stand drinking one bowl after another. You don't know, I don't even dare to go out for a walk now." , I'm afraid I can't find the toilet." He rubbed his stomach, "Just five minutes before you came in, I just drank a bowl. I estimate that in another five minutes, another bowl will be brought out. "
"So exaggerated?" Zhou Mikang frowned, "I'll go over and take a look."
"Thank you, Third Brother." Zhou Xiangping quickly handed over her hand. She had no right to speak now. As long as Third Brother was willing to come forward, half of her good life would be revealed.
While the two brothers and sisters were talking, Chu Xia had been looking at Zhou Xiangping. Sure enough, after not seeing each other for a few days, she seemed to have gained a lot of weight. Moreover, the slight swelling on her face was definitely due to drinking too much water!
"I haven't let you drink soup so often before, right?" Chu Xia sat next to her and asked softly.
"Just what happened in the past few days..." Zhou Xiangping glanced at the kitchen and saw that no one was coming, so she continued in a low voice, "My mother-in-law went back to her parents' home when she was in the third grade of junior high school, and my mother-in-law's sister and brother-in-law also went back, and then, that My brother-in-law is a traditional Chinese medicine doctor, so he told my mother-in-law that I should drink more nutritious soup so that the baby will be healthy. Then, after I came back, my mother-in-law made soup for me every day.
At the beginning, I didn't feel it and I was quite happy drinking. However, after a few days, I really couldn't stand it anymore. Originally, Liao Hui was towards me, but after meeting the brother-in-law, he also started to force me to drink. .
He also said that he saw the results with his own eyes. His aunt's sister's child also returned. The little boy is only two years old. He is taller, stronger and smarter than other children. He said that his sister has also recovered very well, so now no matter how I resist, It’s all useless. "
"Uh..." Chu Xia scratched her head, "What I want to know is, do people drink a bowl every ten minutes like this?"
Zhou Xiangping shook her head: "I don't know. Anyway, when I asked, they all said that he drank many bowls a day, and told me not to go out and inquire about it, lest his aunt and uncle would be unhappy if they found out."
Chu Xia didn't know what to say. She was an outsider when it came to household matters, so it was hard for her to say anything.
No matter how hot-tempered Zhou Mikang is, he would not go into the kitchen and directly ask Liao Hui and his son why they always force their sister to drink soup. If you think about it with your toes, you know that the mother and son are working so hard for the good of their sister and nephew. He If you really wanted to question him, it would seem unkind.
"Third brother is here." Looking up and seeing Zhou Mikang, Liao Hui quickly greeted him.
"What are you doing?" Zhou Mikang asked, staring at the pot in front of him.
"I'm making ginseng chicken soup. There are some medicinal ingredients in it. I need to add it carefully..." Liao Hui said, pointing to Cai Hongying who was pressing something hard on the chopping board. "My mother was responsible for crushing the medicinal ingredients. This way the effect will be better." That’s good.”
"Auntie..." Zhou Mikang greeted and walked over to look at the medicinal materials crushed into foam by Cai Hongying, "What is this?"
"This is Radix Pseudostellariae..." Cai Hongying raised her head and smiled at Zhou Mixang, "The smell in the kitchen is not good. You go sit outside for a while. Xiaohui's place will be fine in about three minutes."
Looking at the glistening beads of sweat on Cai Hongying's forehead, Zhou Mikang might not be able to say anything, so he nodded and retreated.
"How is it?" Zhou Xiangping looked at Zhou Mikang eagerly.
"Let's wait until we have time. Your mother-in-law is so busy that I can't say anything." Zhou Mikang looked at his sister apologetically, "After all, she is your mother-in-law. I can't go too far. I still have to pay attention to the methods. right?"
Zhou Xiangping curled her lips and said, "Don't look back, just let them persuade you to go over."
"Liao Hui also supported the fourth sister before..." Seeing the confusion in Zhou Mikang's eyes, Chu Xia told the story of how Liao Hui originally went to persuade Cai Hongying, but was persuaded by Cai Hongying.
Zhou Mikang patted Zhou Xiangping on the shoulder: "Don't worry, I won't be persuaded to go there. Your face is swollen. Nothing is too much. Drinking soup appropriately should be useful, but this way of drinking is definitely No, even if I’m not a doctor, I still think this is unreasonable.”
"Third brother..." Zhou Xiangping's eyes turned red, "I finally found someone to support me. In fact, if I couldn't stand it any longer, I wouldn't have let Third Brother help.
I had hesitated before about calling home, but I felt that my mother-in-law had good intentions, and if things got too big, it would be my fault.
And because of what happened to Jiang Xue, my mother has always been unhappy with my mother-in-law. It was the Chinese New Year, so I really didn’t want to make her unhappy, so I endured it. Fortunately, the third brother and the third sister-in-law came over. By the way, you guys must be careful about this. Don't tell mom! "
