Chapter 228 Looking at each other
"Haha, auntie, please take care of it. Just tell me the name of the dish you want to eat, and my second sister and I will prepare it for you early in the morning."
As Zhou Mingshu was speaking, he bowed to Liu, imitating the young ladies in the city, which made everyone laugh.
"You girl...hahaha, it's not me who is blessed, it's your mother who is the most blessed, giving birth to such a good daughter."
Zhou Mingqi couldn't take it anymore. "Mother, look at what you're saying. It's like my elder sister and I are ignorant. I'm actually pretty good too..."
Zhou Mingqi pouted and acted like he was about to get angry.
"Hahaha, you're good, you're good. I didn't say you were wrong." Liu smiled and touched her daughter's head, full of love.
Zhou Mingqi got the advantage and acted like a good boy, running to serve the food with a smile on his face.
There was a large bowl of spicy rabbit meat, two plates of vegetarian dishes and a plate of fruit, and a large circle of pot stickers.
He took a bite of pancake and a bite of rabbit meat, and he was sweating profusely while eating.
After eating chili peppers with Zhou Mingshu for half a year, everyone has trained themselves to be able to eat spicy food, and can be said to be at the point where they cannot live without spicy food.
"Is there anyone who wants to eat this rabbit head? Since no one wants to eat it, I'll take it away." Boss Zhou shouted, but no one wanted to eat the rabbit head.
Boss Zhou put the rabbit head into the bowl and slurped it bit by bit. It was so delicious and much more delicious than the pork head he cooked.
"Daya, why don't you eat rabbit meat? Is it too spicy?" asked Old Mrs. Zhou.
"No, grandma, I just think the vegetables here are more delicious." Zhou Mingqin's mouth was full of oil. It's not that she doesn't like rabbit meat, but compared with the two, the vegetables soaked in meat flavor are more to her taste.
"Yeah, that's how it is. You can't not eat any meat. Look at your thin body. You are the thinnest among the family members. Eat more to replenish your body."
As Mrs. Zhou spoke, she put two pieces of rabbit meat into her bowl.
Zhou Mingshu picked at the food in the bowl. Like her elder sister, she felt that the side dishes in the spicy rabbit meat were more delicious and she didn't have to go through the trouble of gnawing on the bones.
The children in the family are all at the growing age, and they are all very good at eating.
Less than half of the rabbit meat in the basin was gone, but 70% of the biscuits in the basket were gone.
"Are these pancakes enough? If not, should I heat up a few more?" Mrs. Liu was about to get up while holding her chopsticks.
"Aunt, you don't have to go. I've put some cakes under the basin. If they're not enough, just pull them up."
Fortunately, I had foresight and was afraid that the pancakes would not be enough, so I put another layer on top of the dish.
Chop it up and soak it in the vegetables. It will taste better when it is covered with vegetable juice.
"Oh, there's still some in the basin. No need to heat it up."
Everyone likes to eat the pancakes soaked in the big pot. As soon as they hear that there is one, they start to pick them out from the basin.
After a few stirs, a lot of vegetable cakes covered with vegetable juice appeared.
"Haha, put the pancake in the bowl and eat it, otherwise it will get all over your hands."
Zhou Mingjie picked up a piece and was so hot that he shouted in laughter. It was numb, spicy, hot and very satisfying.
With this pancake, you don’t have to eat it with any vegetables.
After lunch, my stomach is full.
Liu and Feng cleared the dishes and washed everything else.
The children are already tired from cooking so many meals, we can’t let them wash dishes and pots.
Now that they had some free time, Zhou Mingqin and her two sisters did not want to sit idle, so they took their sickles, put on their backpacks and went outside.
It is now late autumn, and neither mugwort nor mint will produce new leaves.
This should be the last time I make mugwort paste this year. I will leave some mugwort for fumigating mosquitoes, and these raw materials will be almost used up.
"Once we finish making this batch of mugwort paste, we can take a break and fight again next year!"
Zhou Mingshu finished cutting the last bunch of mugwort, his face filled with joy.
It's cold in winter, so they should stay indoors to keep warm and eat melon seeds.
"Haha, well said, see you next year! We'll pick lots of flowers next year!"
Zhou Mingqi also imitated Zhou Mingshu, clenched his fist and raised it high.
"Okay, okay, let's go back quickly. We still have to cut more mint and lemongrass."
Zhou Mingqin put away the sickle and smiled at her two sisters who were showing off.
"Come on, let's hurry up. The workload this time is quite heavy and there's no one to help. I'm exhausted."
When Zhou Mingshu returned home, he called Zhou Mingyuan and Zhou Minghua who were feeding sheep and pigs in the backyard.
"Help your sister pick these leaves. Put the stems in one place and the leaves in another."
"I know, sister."
Zhou Mingshu seldom ordered them around, but the two little ones were happy to be told what to do and would come over to work obediently, carrying their small stools.
Then, Zhou Mingshu and his two sisters cut a lot of mint and lemongrass.
Picking leaves and washing them, there is no time to spare.
I was panting with exhaustion, but I finally finished it near dinner time.
Let these things air-dry overnight to evaporate the moisture, and you can make mugwort paste tomorrow.
The next morning, Zhou Mingshu and Zhou Mingqi were making mugwort paste in the new yard when they heard a burst of laughter in the big yard, followed by bursts of talking.
? Someone is here? Who is it? Is it the county magistrate's official again? Is he here to give me money again?
Zhou Mingshu went out with questions and came back with surprise.
It turned out to be the marriage that my aunt had arranged for my eldest sister.
Now the man has brought his people here to see the girl, no wonder it’s so lively.
Zhou Mingqi and Zhou Mingshu peeked through the crack of the second door and looked at the people in the main room. They were quite curious about the blind date.
The adults were chatting and laughing, with endless topics to talk about, but the eldest sister next to her and her... that...
You can see that both of them are digging their toes into the ground in embarrassment.
Especially Zhou Mingqin, with her face lowered, it was impossible to tell whether she was happy or sad.
The man looked quite presentable, with a straight figure, and he behaved without being shy. He looked good, and there was a hint of shyness in the way he looked at Zhou Mingqin.
I knew I liked her at first sight, but I don’t know what the elder sister meant.
As long as big sister likes it.
"Second sister, do you think this can be accomplished?"
"I think it's probably a sure thing. Big sister usually behaves like this when she encounters something she doesn't like. Tsk tsk..."
"According to what you said, it means that the man has feelings for me but I don't. If that's the case, then we can only wait for fate to find us again."
The eldest sister is indeed too young. In modern times, she is considered a minor.
And it is also quite difficult to have children.
In Zhou Mingshu's opinion, if you can get married later, then get married later; if you can avoid getting married, then don't get married.
If you don't meet someone you truly love, there's really no point in having a wedding ceremony.
But her overly open-minded thinking might not be recognized by her family, so she can only wait and see.
About two cups of tea later, the man and his family left.
Zhou Mingshu and Zhou Mingqi's calves had been numb for who knows how many times.
After the others left, the two pushed open the small door and walked out of the small courtyard with confidence.
"Sister, how do you feel?"
"Sister, do you like that guy?"
