The beauty of the lady

Chapter 5 Changes
Zhou Mei bent down to take those things in, and seeing Zhao Shi's smiling eyes, she pursed her lips and nodded with a smile: "Yes mother, it's dad who came back and brought you medicine, I'll fry it for you right now. "

"Cook more food, your father has a big appetite." Zhao said softly from behind.

"I see."

When they came to the kitchen, Zhou Mei took off the clay pot from the shelf and put it on a small shelf next to the stove. Next to it was a small stove made of bricks, which was probably specially used for decocting medicine.

Afterwards, she picked up a pack of medicine, and after opening it, a strong smell of medicine came out. There were various herbs in it, which she didn't know. For modern people who are sick and take western medicine, she really doesn't know these traditional Chinese medicines at all.

But if you see this bag, you probably just pour it in and add water to fry it.

Take out two pieces of firewood from the stove and fill them in, then cover the earthenware pot, add three steamed buns and a large bowl of rice to the pot, and cover the pot again.

She looked at the things Zhou Zhuang brought back. There were some sausages, a large piece of meat weighing about five catties, some snacks, two pieces of cloth, and some dried vegetables, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar. Finally able to cook a good meal, Zhou Mei was relieved.

Footsteps came from behind, Zhou Mei turned her head and saw Wednesday Zhuang walking in, the bucket of water was not full, only one bucket of water was enough to run Lin Wan three or four times.

Having not seen his daughter for a long time, Zhuang poured water on Wednesday, seeing the orderly order in the kitchen, he couldn't help but show pity.

"Sister Mei, this is the floral cloth that my father tore for you in the town. Let your Aunt Hua make two clothes for you and your mother to wear during the New Year. At that time, we will give them some sausages and pork."

"I see. Daddy, go into the house and talk to my mother." Zhou Mei felt a little uncomfortable. She was nearly 30 years old in her previous life, and she was supposed to be older than Wednesday. No matter how you think about being a father to a young person, you feel bad.

Zhou Zhuang also missed his wife. Hearing what his daughter said, he scratched his head in embarrassment, opened his mouth to say something, but he didn't say anything, turned around and said you were busy, and went out of the kitchen to see his wife.

Zhou Mei looked at the back of this cheap father, and shook her head with a smile after a while, then turned around and fiddled with the medicinal materials in the clay pot with chopsticks.

In the kang room, seeing her husband come back, Mrs. Zhao said softly: "Why did you come back today? Didn't you say you want to be 23 when you left last time?"

Sitting on the edge of the kang on Wednesday, Zhuang looked at his wife distressedly, stretched the quilt for her and said with a smile: "The wife of the host family is happy, so she closed the shop early and gave us a reward. I got a tael of silver. You save it first." Let’s say, let’s not return it to third uncle this year, let’s wait until next year, the day after tomorrow is the last show in town, I’m waiting to go with Brother Da Zhu, buy some rice noodles, and have a good year.”

"Take Meier and go together. This child will be the head of the family this year. She knows better than a mother like me what is lacking in the family." Zhao said softly.

Zhou Zhuang nodded, "Okay, I'll listen to you."

Looking at her husband's simple and honest face, Zhao's nose couldn't help sore, and her eyes turned red.

After seeing it on Wednesday, Zhuang felt a little anxious, stepped forward and took her hand, and asked, "What's the matter? Are you feeling unwell? Sister Mei is decocting medicine in the kitchen, wait a minute."

"No." Zhao Shi also felt that she had lost her composure, raised her hand to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes, and said in a low voice, "You don't blame me, do you?"

"What do I blame you for?" Zhuang Zhou was puzzled.

"My body is useless, so I'm dragging you down." Mrs. Zhao said in a reserved manner, her cheeks turning slightly red.

Zhou Zhouzhuang is a simple and honest person, how can he understand the meaning of Zhao Shi's words, now that Zhao Shi said this, Zhou Zhouzhuang said seriously: "Don't say such things, you gave me a daughter, and now you have a daughter." It's my fault that I lost my son, and I'm so tired now, it's your fault, so don't say such things again."

When Mrs. Zhao heard her husband's words, she knew that the goose didn't understand what she meant, and she was too embarrassed to point it out, so she nodded lightly, then pulled him, and said, "Hurry up and sit on the kang, it won't be long. I haven't seen Tang'er anymore, Meier will cook in a while."

"It's okay, I'm waiting to clean up with Sister Mei, it's not too late after dinner." Thinking of seeing his daughter carrying a bucket not much smaller than her when he first entered the door, his heart twitched "I'm useless, let the three of you suffer along with me."

"Don't say that, it's my good fortune to be able to marry you." Zhou Zhouzhuang's kindness to her, she knew in her heart that in this age of filial piety, he contradicted his relatives for himself. Mother, although she is dull, there is nothing wrong with that.

It is much better than those who calculate and calculate all day long.

She has no regrets at all.

Here, Zhou Mei fried the medicine, brought it in, put it on the table beside her, and said to Mrs. Zhao: "Mother, I just fried it, it's so hot, you should drink the medicine after eating."

"Well, good." Zhao nodded with a smile, probably because Zhou Zhuang came back, and Zhao's expression also added a touch of joy.

Zhou Zhuang stood up and said to Zhou Mei: "Sister Mei, do you have dinner now?"

"Oh!"

"Okay, you can sit on the kang first, and dad can clean up." After saying that, he put the wooden table away, then turned and went to the kitchen.

Seeing Zhou Mei's somewhat stunned expression, Zhao said angrily: "You child, why are you so stupid when you see your father? Didn't you always talk about it before?"

Zhou Mei came back to her senses, and could only say, "I'm just wondering why Dad came back so early, isn't it two days away?"

Mrs. Zhao repeated Zhou Zhouzhuang's words with a smile, and then said to her: "Go to the kang, it's cold underground."

"It's okay, I'll go in and clean up." After speaking, he went to the kitchen.

During dinner, Mrs. Zhao looked very happy. It may be because her husband is back and the family is rarely reunited. She even ate a lot of rice, drank two bowls of fish soup, and ate seven or eight vegetable balls. .

Zhou Zhuang also praised his daughter's good cooking skills. Even Zhou Tang didn't cry after waking up, but looked at his parents and sister curiously with wide eyes.

Seeing how well-behaved his son was, Zhou Zhuang stood up with chopsticks and put the fish soup near his son's mouth. Zhou Tang licked it with his small tongue. Maybe because he thought it was delicious, he stretched out his hand to hold the chopsticks and put it in his mouth. Zhuang hurriedly dipped some of it with his chopsticks, and then gave it to him to lick.

Seeing the appearance of her husband and son, Zhao couldn't help but chuckled: "You, do you miss your father too?"

Zhou Tang heard his mother's voice, turned to look at Mrs. Zhao, then stretched out his hand, and let her hug her.
