Siheyuan Great Craftsmen

The first step is to light a fire and warm the pot.

Then, Zhou Tian picked up the high-quality pork belly and started cutting it skillfully.

Although he has cooked less often on Sundays in recent years due to his busy work, this does not mean that his cooking skills have deteriorated.

On the contrary, as his control over his body continued to increase, his cooking skills became more and more sophisticated.

There was a rhythmic "da da" sound, and the pork belly was quickly cut into neat pieces of meat.

After the meat was cut, the water just started to heat up. Zhou Tian first washed the blood off the pork and mutton with clean water several times, and then put the pork into the pot and started to cook.

Then he added some seasoning and salt. In less than half an hour, a rich and mellow meaty aroma wafted out of the kitchen.

"It smells so good, Third Brother, it seems like Big Brother is stewing meat!"

Just then, Zhou Yu and Zhou Ting just stepped into the inner courtyard and were attracted by the fragrant smell of meat filling the courtyard.

After several years of recuperation, Zhou Yu and Zhou Ting no longer looked malnourished. Zhou Yu's chubby appearance was very cute, his big eyes sparkled with a smart light, and his short hair made him look particularly energetic.

Zhou Ting had two small braids, her round face was rosy like a little apple, and her big eyes were full of joy.

"Little sister, let's go and take a look."

As he spoke, Zhou Yu pulled Zhou Ting and without even bothering to put down his schoolbags, they both ran quickly towards the kitchen.

"Brother, are you stewing the meat?"

Zhou Yu asked loudly before he even reached the kitchen. As the kitchen door opened, the aroma of cooking meat instantly became stronger. Zhou Yu and Zhou Ting couldn't help but swallow their saliva together, and both pairs of eyes looked into the pot.

"I say, you two little guys, why did you come in here without putting your schoolbags down first!"

Zhou Tian was processing the mutton in his hand and asked without turning his head. As his attainments in Xingyiquan became more and more profound, he heard the footsteps of the two little guys as soon as they entered the yard.

"Brother, it smells so good, I want to eat it!"

Zhou Yu ignored his elder brother's words and took Zhou Ting to stand in front of the big pot, smelling the aroma of meat and swallowing his saliva.

Zhou Tian stopped what he was doing helplessly, and looked at the two little guys staring at the pork in the pot, and couldn't help but reveal a doting smile: "Okay, stop being greedy, or your saliva will drip into the pot. Okay, the meat in the pot is not cooked yet, you can't eat it, wait a little longer. Put your schoolbags back first!"

"I know, brother!"

Zhou Ting responded obediently, then pulled Zhou Yu, who looked reluctant, out of the kitchen, looking back every step of the way.

After leaving the kitchen, the two little guys quickly put their schoolbags into their rooms, then ran downstairs and returned to the kitchen again.

"Brother, let me help you light the fire!"

Seeing his elder brother busy, Zhou Yu hurriedly took the lead and sat in front of the stove with a flattering smile. He picked up the shovel and shoveled a few pieces of coal into the stove.

The younger sister Zhou Ting stood beside Zhou Tian obediently, watching her elder brother cutting the mutton non-stop. With a flash of the knife, the mutton was cut neatly by Zhou Tian in an instant.

"Xiaotian, are you in the kitchen?"

Just then, the voices of my mother-in-law and grandmother came from outside the door.

"Grandma, Mom. Are you back? I'm in the kitchen!"

Zhou Tian responded verbally, but his hands did not stop moving.

"You kid, didn't we agree to let Yulin cook? Why are you cooking again? You're already tired enough from a day's work. Go and have a rest. Mom will do the rest."

As they were talking, mother-in-law Li Yuling and grandma each came in carrying a basket full of vegetables. Seeing Zhou Tian busy, mother-in-law Li Yuling immediately complained distressedly.

As she spoke, she quickly put the vegetables in the kitchen and walked forward to stop Zhou Tian, ​​wanting to take over his work.

"Mom, Yulin is coaxing the child right now. Besides, I haven't cooked for a long time, so I'll do it today!"

Zhou Tian stopped his mother-in-law Li Yuling and said.

He understood his mother-in-law's intentions and knew that she felt sorry for him, but he also felt sorry for his wife.

During this period, Shen Yulin not only went to work every day, but also had to do laundry and cook at home at night. He saw this and naturally wanted to help her share some of the burden. Although many women in this era had gone through this, he was not old-fashioned and did not want his wife to be so tired.

"Okay, Yuling, since your eldest grandson is willing to do it, just let him do it. Besides, Yulin has been very tired during this period of time. It's time for her to have a good rest."

When the grandmother heard their conversation, she immediately saw what her eldest grandson was thinking and quickly tried to persuade him.

"Hey, old lady, tell me, it would be so bad if this gets out. Look at the neighbors, is there any family that lets the men cook while the women rest?"

Li Yuling listened to the old lady's advice and said with a slightly blushing face.

After all, to some extent, Shen Yulin should be happy that her son-in-law loves her. But the problem is that it would be bad if this matter got out.

It's not that she doesn't love her daughter, but in this day and age, it doesn't make sense for a wife to let her husband cook while she rests on the side.

"Hey, Yuling, this is their business, don't worry about it. Besides, let them talk if they want to. My eldest grandson doesn't care, so why should we care about other people's gossip! Okay, let's go back and see the children."

Grandma said as she pulled Li Yuling out of the kitchen. Although Li Yuling was still complaining, she didn't insist as the old lady was holding her back.

When the two returned to the main room, they saw Shen Yulin teasing the three children, laughing non-stop, and occasionally showing a silly smile. This made Li Yuling a little uncomfortable, so she walked up to Shen Yulin, pulled her over, and patted her on the arm.

"You silly girl, I just told you not to cook, why don't you learn your lesson? Didn't I tell you not to let your man cook? Why did you let Xiao Tian cook?"

Shen Yulin was hit by her mother and felt a little dazed, but after hearing what her mother said, she suddenly became unhappy.

"Mom, what do you mean I don't have a good memory? It was your son-in-law who didn't let me cook and asked me to take care of the children!"

"You're still talking back. Let me ask you, why did Xiaotian say that? Isn't it because he feels sorry for you? But why don't you feel sorry for Xiaotian at all? You only see a few patients every day, but Xiaotian does big things every day. Why don't you care more about Xiaotian!"

As soon as Shen Yulin finished speaking, her mother patted her arm again. She covered her arm with her right hand in grievance and looked at her grandmother.

At this moment, grandma saw Shen Yulin's aggrieved look and felt distressed. She hurried forward and pulled Shen Yulin behind her.

"Yuling, why are you blaming Yulin again? Look how you beat the child. Does Yulin feel pain? Grandma will help you scold your mother!" After saying a few words, grandma turned around, stretched out her hand to rub Shen Yulin's arm, and asked with concern.

"Grandma, it doesn't hurt!" Shen Yulin suddenly felt warm in her heart and said in a soft voice.

"Okay, Yuling, stop blaming Yulin. Didn't I just tell you that it's the eldest grandson who's worried about our girl? What does this mean? It means that the couple has a good relationship, so we shouldn't worry about it!"

Listening to the old lady's words, Li Yuling didn't know whether to laugh or cry. My goodness, she didn't use any strength when she hit Shen Yulin just now. Now listening to the old lady's scolding, especially seeing the cunning in her daughter's eyes, how could she not understand that this girl was putting on eye drops for her! She immediately glared at her unhappily.
