97 Delicious
The evening breeze blew and smoke curled up.
A group of geese flew across the blue low sky from the north to the south. They reflected the colorful clouds in the sky and formed a beautiful painting.
In the Shen family’s courtyard, everyone sat around a square table. In front of everyone was arge bowl of eel noodles.
The fragrant and spicy smell assaulted their noses.
!!
“It’s so delicious!” Second Sister-inw Shen said happily as she rolled her tongue. “Ah Tao, can you give me another bowl?”
“Second Daughter-inw, you’ve already eaten your third bowl!” Zhao Lanhuained . “You’re still eating? Aren’t you afraid that your stomach will burst?”
“Burp~” Second Sister-inw Shen could not help but burp. “Mother, it’s really not my fault. The eel slivers Ah Tao made are fresh and spicy. I can’t stop eating it!”
“Second Sister-inw, why don’t you drink some water to moisten your throat first?” Ji Zhao, who did not know whether tough or cry, got up and poured a ss of water for Second Sister-inw Shen. “Second Sister-inw, actually, in theter stages of pregnancy, you really can’t overeat. If you eat too much, it will really be difficult to give birth.”
“That’s right. Ah Tao is right. Second daughter-inw, it’s not that Mother isn’t allowing you to eat, it’s just that giving birth is too dangerous for women,” Zhao Lanhua, who was clearing the dishes, advised earnestly.
Although Second Sister-inw Shen was a foodie, she also listened to advice.
“Alright, I won’t eat then. But Ah Tao, what are we eating tomorrow morning?”
Ji Zhao held her forehead helplessly and said with a smile, “I haven’t thought about it yet.”
“Alright then.” Second Sister-inw Shen, who was sleepy after eating, could not help but yawn. “Mother, Ah Tao, I’m a little sleepy. I’ll go back and sleep first, okay?”
“This second daughter-inw…” Zhao Lanhua shook her head helplessly.
Ji Zhao looked at Second Sister-inw Shen’s back thoughtfully.
She remembered that in the original novel, Second Sister-inw Shen suddenly suffered a hemorrhage after giving birth. Although she barely survived and the mother and son were safe, she could never get pregnant again.
In short, the original novel was a typical male protagonist’s perspective novel. Only the male protagonist’s fate was developing in a better and better direction. As for the others in the novel, their fates were very bumpy.
“Ah Tao?” Zhao Lanhua called out twice. Seeing that Ji Zhao still had no reaction, she tugged at her sleeve worriedly. “Are you alright?”
“Mother?” Ji Zhao came back to her senses and couldn’t help but smile. “I’m fine. Don’t worry.”
“I n to go to the county tomorrow morning to see your eldest sister-inw.” Zhao Lanhua thought for a moment and said softly, “Your eldest sister-inw’s parents passed away early. Now that she’s pregnant and doesn’t have an elder to take care of her, I’m really uneasy. I n to let her return to the vige and recuperate.”
“Mother, should I go with you tomorrow morning?” Calcting the time, the stinky tofu that she fermented earlier should be about done.
At the thought that she would be able to taste the delicious stinky tofu tomorrow, Ji Zhao smiled happily.
“Alright, you should rest early too.” Before Zhao Lanhua turned around and returned to her room, she did not forget to remind her.
The night was as dark as ink.
The stars that dotted the night sky were dazzling.
Ji Zhao rested her chin on her hands and leaned against the window coffin, looking at the crescent moon hanging high in the night sky.
“The wind is strong at night.” Shen Yao walked up to her, only a window away.
“You haven’t slept either?” Ji Zhao nced sideways and asked with a gentle smile.
“Mm.” Shen Yao nodded slightly. “I ate a little too much for dinner, so I wanted toe out to digest my food.”
“Aren’t the eel noodles I made especially delicious?” Ji Zhao raised her eyebrows slightly and asked with a smug smile.
“Delicious.”
