Captain Zhao glanced at his wife and said nothing before heading off to kill the chicken.
Laosan and his family had returned, and the old lady was overjoyed. Let her be happy then!
"Mother, we’re here." As soon as Da Shu’s mother heard that Laosan’s family had come back, she planned to visit too, but it felt like she was rushing to ingratiate herself.
When Sanya came to call, she hurriedly brought her husband and two children along, not coming empty-handed—a small piece of meat and over twenty eggs.
"Hurry and start cooking, Laosan’s wife brought back quite a few specialties from the Capital City, including cured fish, sea fish, and that duck..."
It seemed there would be a feast tonight.
"Laosan..." Zhao Tianhai glanced at Laosan, why did he feel like Laosan had grown much paler?
"Laoer, coming to pluck feathers?"
Zhao Tianhai quickly went to help, the things he brought from home couldn’t compare to what Laosan had brought out.
"Da Bao, Xiao Bao..." Da Shu and Xiao Shu looked at Da Bao and Xiao Bao, seeing them dressed in new clothes and leather shoes, they became a bit reserved.
If it were before, they would have fought over the snacks from Da Bao and Xiao Bao.
"Here, have some candy."
The two brothers eagerly took it, peeling and eating the sweet treat.
Sister-in-law Zhao’s family also came over.
"Big brother, sister-in-law..."
"Younger sister-in-law, Laosan..."
"Little Uncle, Little Aunt....."
"Little Uncle, Little Aunt..."
Seeing a few of her nieces, Yun Xiaoxiao called them over.
"These are the hairbands and pearl hair clips I bought in the Capital City..."
Knowing that red symbolizes joy, she bought several red hairbands for the little girls, not just one, but several each.
A set of red, cute mini side clips for everyone.
Daya, Erya, and Sanya all thought they looked very pretty.
"These are red socks for your whole family," Yun Xiaoxiao said while handing them to Daya.
"Thank you, Little Aunt..."
"Thank you, Little Aunt..."
"All you boys, come here."
As soon as Little Aunt called them, Da Shu, Xiao Shu, and Xiao Mao immediately looked over.
"I got you each a tin frog," she said.
These were tin frogs; that accountant’s grandson was always showing off his.
"Thank you, Little Aunt..."
"Thank you, Little Aunt..."
"Thank you, Little Aunt..."
Yun Xiaoxiao also gave Da Shu four pairs of red socks.
Da Shu, not particularly excited about the socks, went to the kitchen, "Mother, these are the socks Little Aunt gave us, here you go, I’m going to play with my tin frog."
After distributing the items to everyone, Yun Xiaoxiao planned to step into the kitchen to cook.
"Younger sister-in-law, you just got back, you should rest. We’ll cook," said Sister-in-law Zhao.
How could she let her sister-in-law take over like that?
"Younger sister-in-law, you rest. We’ll handle the cooking, now that the village has electricity."
She hadn’t noticed that before.
"Laosan’s wife, how do you prepare this fish?"
She knew how to prepare the cured fish.
But she wouldn’t bother with it, there was fresh fish available.
"How do you prepare this?"
Opening the package, Da Shu’s mother was swallowing hard at the sight; it looked delicious.
"Mother, you just need to cut it into pieces and steam it a bit, and as for this big yellow croaker, you can stew it with chili sauce, but it needs to soak for a while."
"Braised Pork Belly..."
None of them knew how to cook, so Yun Xiaoxiao decided to take over the cooking, although she only needed to stir the pot a little.
Zhao Tianhai had cleaned the chicken, cut it into pieces, and left the kitchen women to stew it.
"Laosan, how’s the Capital City? We’ve never been there before," they asked.
