While the Zhang family was cursing across the wall, the chicken in the Li family’s kitchen was almost cooked.
Gu Zhao had been reading all morning and felt hungry after smelling the fragrance, so he stretched, put down the book in his hand and went to the kitchen. As soon as he walked out of the living room, he heard cursing from the low wall.
”Husband, it will be ready soon.” Li Zhouzhou used a spoon to stir the stewed chicken in the pot twice, while opening the wooden lid of the pot in the back stove, and a sweet smell of multi-grain rice was ready.
We have stewed chicken today, and Li Zhouzhou puts more white rice in the mixed grain rice.
”It smells good.” Gu Zhao said. He knew Zhou Zhou was shy, so he didn’t do anything. He just hummed and said coquettishly: “Follow Zhou Zhou, I am willing to eat soft rice for the rest of my life. I will keep eating soft rice for more.”
Li Zhouzhou liked the way his husband hummed and acted like a spoiled child beside him. He couldn’t help but smile and said, “Does my husband like to eat softer food? Then I’ll add more water next time.”
”… This is perfect. It’s not like this free rice.” Gu Zhao couldn’t explain clearly. There were only the two of them in the kitchen. He put his hand on the back of his wife’s hand, smiled innocently and said, “It means taking advantage of my wife.”
That’s about it.
Li Zhouzhou first looked outside the kitchen, and seeing that his father had not come to the door, he suppressed his embarrassment and touched his husband’s hand. His husband’s hand was soft and white, and his husband is young.
My husband is younger than me.
The steam from the pot was not as hot as the temperature of Xiao Gu. Then I heard Niudan crying, saying he wanted to eat meat. The kitchen was just a wall, so the voice was smaller than when he was scolding, but I could hear it clearly.
The Zhang family’s Niu Dan came to ask for meat.
Li Zhouzhou held a spoon in one hand, the smile on his face faded, and he frowned angrily. The two had been married for some time. In the past, Li Zhouzhou never showed any unhappiness in front of his husband, saying everything was fine. This was the first time he expressed his unhappiness in this way, and Gu Zhao felt it was particularly good. He watched intently, smiling.
”Husband, you’re still laughing at me.” Li Zhouzhou felt a little embarrassed after saying this, and he suppressed his anger and said seriously: “Aunt Zhang’s behavior is not good for Niu Dan. He is four years old and doesn’t know anything. He wants ours today. This is a bad habit. In the future, if someone else cooks meat or chicken, will he ask for it just by smelling it?”
”What our Zhou Zhou said is right.” Gu Zhao nodded in agreement with his wife.
Li Zhouzhou knew that his husband was not making fun of him, so he felt relieved and said, “Fortunately I closed the door.”
”What if Niu Dan breaks the door? What if he cries and shouts through the door? Zhou Zhou, will you open it?”
Li Zhouzhou hesitated. Although it was a habit for every household in the village to close the door when cooking meat, he had never seen someone see the door closed and smell the smell, knowing that someone was stewing meat in the house, and then pretending not to understand and knocking on the door to ask for it.
But Niu Dan is only four years old, we can’t really listen to Niu Dan crying…
”You.” Gu Zhao knew that his Zhou Zhou was soft-hearted, and he was fine with the adults from the Zhang family, but the child really couldn’t tell the right time between soft and hard, so he said, “I’ll go and coax Niu Dan, Zhou Zhou, give me a piece of meat, with bones.”
”Okay.” Li Zhouzhou didn’t feel sorry for the meat, he was just not happy with the reward and felt sullen. However, he didn’t show any displeasure to his husband and happily picked a piece with bones.
”Husband, don’t pinch it with your hands, it’s hot.”
Li Zhouzhou brought a bowl for his husband.
Gu Zhao thought about the temperature of the foot washing water last night: …
Then he obediently took the bowl and went out, walked to the gate of the yard, and pulled the bolt. Niu Dan opened his mouth wide and was about to howl, but when he saw the strange adult, he was suddenly shocked by his crying. With a dirty face, he raised his head to look at Gu Zhao.
He didn’t say anything or call anyone, he just watched.
Before Niu Dan could yell, Gu Zhao waved the bowl in front of Niu Dan and asked, “Look what this is?”
”Meat, meat, chicken.” Niu Dan’s eyes were dazzled by the fragrance.
Gu Zhao raised the bowl and said with a smile, “Yes, it’s chicken. Where does chicken come from?”
Niu Dan slurped his saliva, stared at the bowl, and said, “Chicken.”
”Yes, this is my Zhou Zhou who went to the chicken coop early in the morning and picked out a fat chicken to kill. He is very strong and picked a big chicken. You can’t eat the meat of the chicken when it is alive, but you can eat the meat when it is dead.”
”Do you have chickens at home?”
Niu Dan nodded, fascinated, and said, “Yes, I have a lot of chickens at home.”
”Look, it’s stewed with cabbage and tofu. My family has been stewing it all morning. Smell it. Does it smell good?”
