As expected, she saw Madam Liu looking at her.
She seemed to be thinking about something.
Ye Muyu smiled and patted the back of Chu Ziluo’s hand. “Mother understands. You also have to pay attention to your hands. Don’t injure your hands. I’ll pay attention to my health too.”
“Yes.” Chu Ziluo nodded seriously and watched Ye Muyu leave.
Not long after Ye Muyu left.
Chu Zhiwen had returned.
Everyone at home except Chu Lin had returned.
The whole family sat neatly.
“Father, this is the food Third Sister-in-law brought.” Madam Zhang did not wait for her mother-in-law to speak and said this first.
Chu Zhiwen looked at the three dishes on the table that were obviously more fragrant.
“Did Third Aunt send this over?” He raised his eyebrows in surprise. “When did her cooking become so good?”
“Mother slowly learned from my grandmothers.” Chu Ziluo was actually very happy that her mother had come over. However, when she thought about how her mother would always quarrel whenever she came to the old residence, she quickly repeated what Ye Muyu had explained to Chu Heng at the dining table.
“It’s normal for your maternal grandmother to have such culinary skills, but I don’t.” Madam Liu smiled.
“Grandma, you’re good at cooking too.” Chu Ziluo shook her head.”
The child insisted on saying it so seriously. Madam Liu smiled speechlessly.
However, she could not deny that she was in a good mood after being flattered.
She took the lead and picked up three chopsticks for Chu Zhiwen. “Old man, try it. ”
“Alright, let’s all eat. You get some food for Lil’ Jin and Ziluo.” Chu Zhiwen said.
Not only did Madam Liu give Chu Jin and Chu Ziluo ribs, but she also gave them to the three children of the eldest branch.
She was not a simple-minded old woman. She felt that it was normal for the dishes to be served to Ziluo and Lil’ Jin since they were brought by Ye Muyu. However, even if that was the case, she had to consider the feelings of the three children of the first son’s family. She and the old man should not be biased.
Otherwise, there would be endless trouble in the long run.
Moreover, Madam Liu did not mind the trouble of picking up a few more chopsticks.
“Thank you, Grandma.” Chu Ziluo called out obediently.
Chu Jin had already taken a bite of the rice. When he saw the additional piece of
meat in his bowl, Chu Ziluo’s voice reminded him and he quickly shouted, “Thank you, Grandpa and Grandma.”
Chu Ming and Chu Sheng were also surprised that Madam Liu would give them the food. Their emotions were obvious on their faces.
“You guys must be hungry from studying. It’s all your grandpa’s fault for dawdling in the fields. Hurry up and eat. There’s a lot of food for lunch today.”
After Madam Liu finished speaking, she was about to pick up some food for Chu Qingxiang.
Chu Qingxiang smiled and took the initiative to pick up a piece. “Grandma, hurry up and eat. I’m drooling when I smell Third Aunt’s cooking in the kitchen. If we keep picking, the food won’t taste good if it gets cold.”
“You’re about to get married, but you’re still so eloquent.” Madam Liu was quite satisfied with this eldest granddaughter of hers. She smiled and stopped eating.
“Grandpa, this vermicelli is also very delicious.” Chu Sheng was the eldest grandson. He did not know if it was because of his sister Chu Qingxiang’s coaxing of Madam Liu that he was inspired or something else.
He could not help but share the delicious food he ate with Chu Zhiwen, earning him the reputation of being filial.
When Chu Zhiwen heard this, he picked up a piece and ate it. He smiled and said, “Not bad. This dish is suitable for cooking for workers. It doesn’t need to be eaten with any meat.”
“Old man, aren’t ribs meat?” Madam Liu rolled her eyes and helplessly criticized in front of her entire family, “If your words fall into the ears of the clan leader and our fourth son who doesn ‘t know anything, they will think that Third Daughter-in-law has mistreated Chu An and the others who went to help with the work..”
