Chapter 704 Partiality
Zhou Tian said as he patted her butt, causing Shen Yulin to curse out in shock and shame, but she was actually very happy in her heart.
The two were chatting and laughing in the kitchen. Less than ten minutes later, Zhou Tian heard the door outside being pushed open. The voices of grandpa and grandma rang out in the living room, mixed with Chen Yaning's greetings and the children's laughter.
"Grandpa and grandma are here, let's speed up a bit!"
Just now, the two of them were just chatting and laughing in the kitchen, and the noodles were not yet kneaded. If they don't hurry up, it might be funny when the father-in-law and mother-in-law arrive, and the noodles won't be cooked yet.
"It's not enough to blame you!"
Shen Yulin glared at him coquettishly, said no more, and started rolling the dough quickly with a rolling pin.
Zhou Tian looked at his wife's amorous eyes and felt warm in his heart, but considering that now was not the right time, he could only say stubbornly: "Just wait, I'll deal with you tonight!"
After saying that, he joined in and started to boil water. At the same time, he took out some pork from the kitchen and started cutting it.
After a while, a meaty smell filled the entire kitchen and slowly drifted outside.
At this time, Chen Yaning, who was chatting with her grandparents and her eldest sister-in-law's parents, smelled the aroma of meat. She couldn't help but swallow her saliva secretly, and her stomach made a gurgling sound of protest.
The voice seemed a little loud in the room. Seeing the looks from her grandparents and a few others, her face suddenly turned red with embarrassment.
"It seems that Yaning is also hungry. Maybe she didn't eat well on the train! Xiaobei, go see if your parents have prepared the meal?"
Seeing Chen Yaning lowering her head with an embarrassed look, grandma couldn't help but smile, then turned around and called out to the three little ones who were playing nearby.
"Got it, Grandma!"
Zhou Zhibei was originally distracted while playing, but when he received the imperial decree from his great grandmother, he instantly smiled and ran towards the kitchen, saying as he ran: "Mom and Dad, great grandmother asked if you have cooked. Second Aunt is so hungry!"
The little boy spoke without restraint, and his words made Chen Yaning, who was already shy, even more embarrassed. However, in her heart, she hated Xiao Zhibei.
"This little Zhibei actually dared to embarrass your Second Aunt. You'll have to wait for me in the future!"
"Okay, okay, stop rushing me, Xiaobei, go get the dishes and chopsticks!"
Zhou Tian said this as he came out of the kitchen carrying the meat sauce. He just happened to see Zhou Zhibei running in and immediately gave orders.
"Oh!"
Zhou Zhibei originally thought that he could go into the kitchen and steal some food, but he didn't expect that his father and mother would cook so quickly. Instead, he was forced to do the hard labor. He immediately responded with some displeasure and walked into the kitchen.
Zhou Tian didn't care whether his youngest son was happy or not. After instructing Zhou Zhibei, he brought the meat sauce to the dining table. Looking at his grandparents who had aged a lot, he couldn't help but feel a lump in his throat.
"Grandpa and grandma, I'm back!"
"Okay, okay, okay! My eldest grandson is back. He won't leave after he comes back, right?"
Grandpa and grandma had never taken their eyes off Zhou Tian since he came out of the kitchen. Now, hearing what their eldest grandson said, tears flashed in their eyes and they asked with a trembling voice.
"I'm not leaving, grandma. The organization has arranged a new job for me. I will report there after the New Year. From now on, I will stay in the city and never leave again!"
Zhou Tian grabbed grandma's hand and spoke softly.
"Okay, then grandma is relieved. By the way, let's not talk about it anymore. Today is a big day. Grandson, you go ahead and get busy!"
Although grandma still had a lot to say to Zhou Tian, now was not the time, and there would be plenty of time in the future, so there was no need to rush to change the subject.
"Ok!"
Zhou Tian nodded without saying anything more. He greeted his grandfather, father-in-law and mother-in-law, then turned and went back into the kitchen. When he came out again, he was holding a large bowl of hand-rolled noodles in his hand.
Behind him, Shen Yulin was holding a pile of dishes and chopsticks, but Zhou Zhibei had his head hung down with a look of frustration, obviously having been scolded by his mother when he entered the kitchen just now.
"Zhidong, Zhixi, come over and have dinner, Mom, Dad, Grandpa, Grandma, Xiaoya, it's time to eat!"
After they put all the noodles, bowls and chopsticks on the table, Shen Yulin suddenly shouted to the two children beside him, then called their grandparents, father-in-law, mother-in-law and Chen Yaning to start eating.
Just as Zhou Zhibei hurriedly picked up the bowl and was about to hand it to his mother, Shen Yulin glared at him fiercely: "If you dare to be naughty again, you will not be allowed to eat, understand?"
"Oh!"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Zhibei nodded obediently, and Shen Yulin then picked up his bowl and served him a meal.
Everyone was extremely satisfied with the meal, especially Zhou Tian, who ate three big bowls of food in a row. When he was at TY, he was so busy working that he had no idea of time. Even if he returned home on time, he had no mood to cook for himself.
Now that he is back home, even though the meat sauce is still the one he made, it tastes especially delicious, and the taste of home makes him feel very comfortable.
"Boss, are you full?"
Shen Yulin felt distressed when she saw her husband wolfing down three large bowls of food in a row.
"I'm full. I haven't eaten so well in a long time!"
Zhou Tian wiped his mouth and smiled.
"Yes, sister-in-law, you don't know how lazy big brother is when he is in TY. He never cooks on weekdays, and only cooks when he feels like it. On weekdays, he either buys food from outside or hires Xiaolian and Sister Liu to cook. But what they cook is not as delicious as what big brother cooks! Even if big brother eats it himself, he can't eat much every time!"
Listening to his elder brother's words, Chen Yaning also complained at the right time.
After she had eaten the meal cooked by her elder brother, she thought she would have a good time in the future. But who knew that her elder brother would be so lazy? She had lived with him for two months and had only eaten the meal cooked by him, which was not enough for five meals.
This is totally inconsistent with the image of the eldest brother described by my husband.
"Well, my eldest grandson is so busy at work every day, how can he have time to cook? Xiaoya, stop complaining."
At this time, the grandmother interrupted. She felt very sorry for her eldest grandson. In her opinion, her eldest grandson was such a big leader, and he was busy with work every day, so he still had to cook. Wasn't that not doing his job properly?
"Look, I knew that as soon as I said that, grandma would protect big brother. I thought Xiaohao was lying, but I didn't expect it to be true. Grandma, you are too biased!"
Chen Yaning couldn't help but chuckle when she heard what her grandmother said, and immediately retorted.
"You little girl, is grandma not good to you? You always pick on grandma's sore spots, you really deserve to be beaten!"
As grandma said this, she hit Chen Yaning on the head with chopsticks in annoyance, which immediately caused the whole family to laugh happily.
