Chapter 285 Drinking
Zhou Shouan hugged the little girl in his arms.
"Si Ya is so pretty. I can tell at first glance that she is Third Brother's daughter. The eyes are really alike."
Several people walked in while talking.
Several women from the Liu family were washing ducks in the yard. When they looked up, they saw Second Aunt coming with two handsome young men.
Feng didn't know him, because Zhou Shouan left home before she got married.
But everyone else recognized it.
"Is this Shouan?"
"I think so. I haven't seen him for several years."
"I also look at Shou'an."
Without waiting for anyone to say hello, Second Grandma ran into the kitchen to tell Old Mrs. Zhou the good news.
"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, come out and see, our Shou'an is back!"
With tears still in her eyes, Second Grandma was busy placing the meat and snacks she had brought on the table.
"What did you say? Shou'an is back? Are you crazy about your child?"
Old Mrs. Zhou didn't quite believe it, but before she could question it again, Zhou Shouan came into the room and called for help.
"Aunt, I'm back."
The sun was shining brightly outside, pouring into the kitchen through the doors and windows.
A tall figure blocked the sunlight at the door, and Mrs. Zhou almost couldn't see who was coming.
"Shou'an? It's really Shou'an. Shou'an, you're back. That's great. Good boy, you won't leave this time, right?"
"Aunt, you're not leaving now that you're back. You're staying in our village from now on."
Zhou Shouan looked at the woman in front of him, feeling deeply moved.
When they left home, their hair was still black, but when they returned, their hair was already full of white hair.
My uncle also passed away...Alas, the past is so hard to recall!
"Okay, you guys sit in the yard first, I'll go call your father."
Old Mrs. Zhou was also happy. She wiped her wet hands on her apron and walked quickly towards the new yard.
"Stop working, stop working, come out and see who's back, hurry up..."
Old Mrs. Zhou smiled happily, but she didn't solve the mystery.
Everyone still had duck feathers on their hands. Seeing how anxious the old lady was, they followed her out without even having time to wash their hands.
Zhou Mingshu and others in the room also came out.
Seeing the second grandfather jogging over, before Zhou Mingshu could see who was coming, the old man somersaulted over.
His father tripped over a wooden stick, but luckily Zhou Shouan was quick to come over and support him.
"I thought I was seeing things. I'm going to beat you to death, you little brat. Why did you come back just now? If your eldest brother hadn't gone there, your mother and I would have thought you were dead..."
Zhou Tiezhu grabbed his son's collar, tears streaming down his face with excitement. Those who didn't know the situation would have thought that a fight was about to break out.
Zhou Mingqin briefly explained that this was his second grandfather's son, Uncle Shou'an, and only then did Zhou Mingqi and Zhou Mingshu understand.
They were still young when their uncle left home, so they have some impression of him but can no longer remember what he looked like.
After crying for a while while holding his son, Zhou Tiezhu covered his face and went to the water tank to wash his hands and face. It was really embarrassing for an old man like him to cry in front of so many people.
Several good brothers also greeted Zhou Shouan and sat down to have tea together. Of course, they did not forget Shen Yanger who was standing beside them.
Knowing that he had no parents, they felt very sympathetic towards the young man.
It’s not dinner time yet, but we have a lot of cooked duck food at home.
Old Mrs. Zhou asked Daya to take out some food for the two of them to eat first to fill their stomachs.
The duck is roasting in the oven. It will take a while until it is fully cooked.
"Don't leave tonight, stay for a drink and dinner. We'll prepare a few more delicious dishes today."
Old Mrs. Zhou made the decision immediately, and everyone nodded.
The brothers hadn't seen each other for a long time, so they sat together and talked about the past, but no one had killed ducks.
Old Mrs. Zhou called Zhou Mingzhi to clean up the duck-killing stall in the small courtyard. He soaked the slaughtered ducks in a basin of water and put the unkilled ducks back into the duck pen so that he could sell fewer ducks tomorrow.
Zhou Mingshu and a few others were also busy. They soaked all the dried vegetables and decided what dishes to cook. Then they took their baskets and went to the vegetable garden to pick some vegetable leaves.
These were all grown from the seeds sown some time ago, and many of the vegetables are fresh and tender.
"Are we going to eat rabbits or fish? If we want fish, we have to catch them now."
Killing a rabbit is quite troublesome, so the three sisters decided to go to the river to catch a fish.
The fish basket has been soaked in water to see if I can catch a fish.
Zhou Mingshu has always had good luck. When she came back, there were two crucian carps in the basin.
I'll make braised fish for everyone tonight.
Spring is the season for reproduction. Zhou Mingshu used the fish in the system, and kept the fish in the river to breed small fish.
The duck in the basin was given to Yue Wan and Zhou Lin's wife to wash, while Liu and others went to the kitchen to prepare dinner.
Everyone was happy that Shouan was back, and they wanted to cook some delicious dishes and have a nice drink.
Cold dishes are relatively easy to make. You have ready-made duck food at home, and you just need to prepare a plate of boiled eggs and some crispy peanuts and peas.
The following dishes are the highlight.
There are two pots, with different dishes cooked in them.
Second Grandma and Old Mrs. Zhou were each guarding a pot, the firelight reflected on their faces, making them look extremely peaceful.
With Zhou Shouan's return, the Zhou family has finally gotten over a major crisis, and their lives will get better and better in the future.
Zhou Mingshu made the pork belly into braised pork with preserved vegetables, and cut the remaining scraps into shredded meat and stir-fried it with vegetables.
Braised fish, spicy chicken, garlic spare ribs, three-fresh meatball soup, two plates of stir-fried greens, soaked mushrooms and dried vegetables, stewed directly with meat slices and vermicelli, a big pot full of them.
The table was filled with food, which made Zhou Shouan and Shen Yang stare in amazement. Is the family already so wealthy? !
"Uncle Shouan, I don't know if you can handle spicy food, so I didn't put much chili in the dish."
Zhou Mingshu put the jar of wine on the table and asked them to start eating.
"Oh, okay, okay, you must be San Ya. I haven't seen you for a few years. You've grown into a big girl. I can't even recognize you."
Zhou Mingshu smiled shyly, nodded, and went back to the kitchen.
There was also a portion of the food on the table outside in the kitchen. They didn't drink alcohol and just finished their meal.
Shen Yang looked at the many kinds of food on the table and felt a little confused. These looked much more delicious than what Brother Shouan cooked.
There were also a few dishes he had never seen before, and they made him drool.
But he was still a stranger to the entire Zhou family, so he didn't dare to eat too much.
"Sana, look at that young man. Doesn't he look like a fool? He looks stupid."
"Are you talking about the brother named Shen?" Zhou Mingshu took a look and found that he was fine, not stupid at all.
"He stared at the food we cooked. He must have been ravenous."
"That's possible." Zhou Mingshu nodded, fully confident in his craftsmanship.
