When she got up today, Si Nian was still wondering why she didn't see the soup. She thought that maybe Zhou Yueshen had put it back when he saw she was asleep.
So Si Nian didn't think much about it.
Now seeing the man say that he didn't want to drink the soup, she suddenly realized that he might have drunk both bowls of soup!
Seeing her shocked expression, Zhou Yueshen paused the hand that was holding her.
After a long while, he stared deeply into Si Nian's eyes and asked, "That soup wasn't for me?"
Si Nian blinked and counter - questioned, "Do you think you still need to take tonics?"
Zhou Yueshen: "....."
He thought he didn't need it.
But judging from Si Nian's initial reaction, he thought she was not quite satisfied with their wedding night.
So...
The man was silent for a long time, then said in a hoarse voice, "What's for breakfast?"
Si Nian barely held back her laughter.
She thought it was amazing that he could stay so calm.
Well, it was okay anyway. These things were just for nourishing the body.
Zhou Yueshen's over - reaction was probably because he had a fiery constitution.
It should do no harm.
Si Nian held back her smile, pointed at the box on the table, and said in a soft voice, "I'll cook you a bowl of noodles. You go and wait first. There are also steamed stuffed buns here. I packed two servings for you. Please take one serving to my elder brother when you go there."
Zhou Yueshen looked at her.
"Okay."
Letting go of her, he reached for the steamed stuffed buns on the table, took a bite, and saw Si Nian turn around to pick up the apron. He stepped forward, took it from her hand, and tied it on.
Si Nian turned to look at him.
Zhou Yueshen picked up the chopsticks and bowls beside him, gently put his hand on her waist, and said, "Go and rest. I'll cook."
Si Nian thought for a while and shook her head, saying, "I'll make soup for you and cook some for Yaoyao too."
Zhou Yueshen nodded. After all, his cooking skills were really no match for the woman in front of him.
The soup that Si Nian casually made could make the kids eat two bowls.
Si Nian led the sleepy Yaoyao downstairs. There were already two bowls of steaming hot noodle soup on the table. One of the bowls had a casually - fried egg by the man. The egg aroma mixed with the scallions and lard in the noodle soup was refreshing and delicious.
The two sat face to face and ate. Si Nian made a cup of milk powder to drink as if it were milk. Zhou Yueshen didn't want any.
He never drank such things. It was true that men with good genes could reach a perfect height of 190 cm without drinking milk.
Both of them ate quietly. In fact, Zhou Yueshen had always been a man of few words.
Si Nian also didn't like to talk much while eating. She fed Yaoyao and ate some herself.
After breakfast, Zhou Yueshen carried two boxes of steamed stuffed buns to the farm.
He would accompany Si Nian to have meals at home these days. When the weather was bad, he would send the eldest and the second - eldest kids to school earlier.
So he came to the farm much later than before.
Si Nian's elder brother, Lin Xiao, came very early because he had to deliver the goods right after slaughtering the pigs every day.
Early in the morning, several pigs on the ground had been divided into different parts and loaded onto the truck.
Lin Xiao was different from Li Mingjun before. Li Mingjun, relying on the fact that he was the only one in the farm who could drive besides Zhou Yueshen, would find all sorts of excuses to rest when the truck arrived and never helped with the loading.
No one said anything about it.
But Lin Xiao was different. Although he was very quiet and didn't talk much even after being here for so long, he really worked hard.
He would help with the loading as soon as he came every day.
He used to work as a loader and unloader in the town, so this was a piece of cake for him.
Life always likes to bully honest people.
Lin Xiao had a great talent for driving. He could basically drive on his own after following for two days.
But there was still a problem. For safety reasons, Zhou Yueshen asked him to get a driver's license.
Although no one checked, it would be much more convenient to have one.
However, it wasn't that easy to pass the exam. Zhou Yueshen knew someone and could arrange for him to go for the study and the exam.
Now Lin Xiao made the deliveries in the morning and was basically free after coming back.
So he had plenty of time.
When Zhou Yueshen arrived, Lin Xiao was burying his head in moving the meat.
It was really a subtle situation. Li Mingjun, whom his sister had asked him to arrange to work here, was lazy and liked to borrow money.
While Lin Xiao, Si Nian's elder brother, wouldn't even accept a higher salary from his brother - in - law and worked desperately.
Sometimes, the gap between people was just so big.
Lin Xiao was younger than him, which was a bit embarrassing.
Lin Xiao also thought it was inappropriate for Zhou Yueshen to call him "brother - in - law", so he asked Zhou Yueshen to call him "Xiao Lin".
But Zhou Yueshen thought it was impolite, so he still called him "elder brother".
He stepped forward and handed the steamed stuffed buns to the sweating Lin Xiao, saying in a deep voice, "These are the steamed stuffed buns that Niannian asked me to bring to you. Elder brother, have something to eat first."
Lin Xiao paused the hand that was wiping the sweat. "From Niannian?"
Zhou Yueshen nodded slightly.
A look of guilt flashed across Lin Xiao's face. His sister had brought him all kinds of food before, like mung bean cakes and mung bean soup, which were all precious and good things.
Although he hadn't been in much contact with this sister, the subtle bond of blood made him always like her very much.
But there was also more a sense of indebtedness.
Now that his sister had just come back, not only did she find him a job close to home, but she also repaid kindness for hatred and always brought him a share of good things.
This made Lin Xiao very embarrassed. Even though he worked very hard for his brother - in - law, he still couldn't offset this sense of guilt.
Hearing that his sister had brought him food again, he didn't know what to feel.
He was both touched and sad.
Lin Sisi, whom he had taken care of for more than a decade and never let suffer a bit, had never cooked a single meal for him.
But this younger sister, whom he had never taken care of at all, always remembered them so much.
How could he feel good about it?
Seeing his red - rimmed eyes and the ashamed expression on his face, Zhou Yueshen knew what this brother - in - law was thinking.
Zhou Yueshen was well aware of the situation between the Lin family and Si Nian.
He also saw Si Nian's attitude towards the Lin family.
Si Nian wasn't the kind of person who got close to others easily. It was obvious from their recent interactions that she wouldn't have anything to do with anyone who had ever shown the slightest dissatisfaction with her.
The Lin family could be treated like this by her, which meant that she must have found them worthy.
Zhou Yueshen also knew that this family was honest and kind - hearted.
They were really a rare good family.
So he glanced at him and said, "Take it. She got up early in the morning to make them. It's her intention."
Lin Xiao tightly pursed his lips, nodded with a straight face, and said, "Please tell Niannian thank you for me."
Zhou Yueshen nodded slightly. After seeing Lin Xiao leave, he stepped forward, picked up the cleaver, tensed his muscles, and with one swift swing, quickly divided the pork on the ground.
His participation immediately motivated everyone, and they soon finished processing the goods needed for today.
Zhou Yueshen walked to the side to wash his hands. Yu Dong, sweating profusely, handed him a cigarette.
