After leaving Lei Mingtang’s studio, Zhou Chao asked Jiang Li to call Third Aunt. When Third Aunt heard that Zhou Chao and Jiang Li had arrived in Fuzhou, she quickly closed the convenience store and hurried home.
During this time, Zhou Chao sent away his bodyguards and told them to find a nearby hotel to settle in.
When Third Aunt rushed back, she was carrying several large bags. Zhou Chao glanced at them and saw that they were filled with various meats and vegetables.
“Third Aunt, why did you buy so many groceries? Let’s go out for dinner tonight, it’s much more convenient!”
After hearing what Zhou Chao said, Third Aunt frowned and said, “You, young man, you’ve finally returned, so why dine out? It’s much livelier here at home. I know you’ve got money now, but have you considered that Xiao Jiang is expecting? It’s going to cost a lot of money later on!”
After saying that, Third Aunt looked at Jiang Li with a face full of affection, then sat next to her, tremblingly touched Jiang Li’s belly with her right hand, and muttered softly from time to time, “Xiao Chao has grown up, the Zhou family finally has a successor, big brother, you can also rest in peace.”
“Yes, what’s wrong with eating at home!” Jiang Li chimed in from the side.
Seeing Jiang Li sitting behind Third Aunt, making faces and teasing him, Zhou Chao nodded helplessly. With Third Aunt’s support, Jiang Li’s mood became much livelier.
Third Aunt looked at Zhou Chao, who was still as stable as Mount Tai, and said, “Why are you still sitting here? Hurry up and cook. Can’t you see that Xiao Li and I have something to talk about? You’re so oblivious, don’t you know how much Xiao Li has suffered following you!”
“Wife, what delicious food are you making? I could smell it from outside. Oh, whose shoes are these?” Uncle bent down to change his shoes, not noticing Jiang Li and Third Aunt on the sofa, teasing him.
“Quick, see who’s here!” Third Aunt said with a hint of joy in her voice.
Uncle quickly looked over and saw Jiang Li sitting on the sofa.
“Oh, Xiao Li, you’re back? It’s Xiao Chao who’s busy in the kitchen, right!” Uncle said happily.
At that moment, Zhou Chao stuck his head out of the kitchen door and said loudly, “Uncle, you’re back. Please sit down. Dinner will be ready soon!”
“Okay, it’s been a while since I’ve tasted Xiao Chao’s cooking. I really miss it!” Uncle said as he headed towards the sofa.
But as soon as he sat down, he heard Third Aunt’s loud scolding, “Why are you sitting there? Hurry up and go help Xiao Chao in the kitchen. Can’t you see he needs assistance?”
“Yes, I can’t even take a sip of water when I’m home. Sigh, it’s unreasonable!” Uncle sighed, but still took off his coat and headed towards the kitchen.
Seeing this, Jiang Li covered her mouth and giggled non-stop.
“Uncle, he’s quite amusing!” Jiang Li said, linking her arm with Third Aunt’s and smiling.
“After being together for so long, we still need to add some spice to life. Your uncle is quite humorous. Otherwise, when I met him back then, so many young girls wouldn’t have pursued him. But in the end, I successfully won him over!” Third Aunt said proudly.
As Third Aunt and Jiang Li chatted about their past stories, the atmosphere in the kitchen also became lively..
