Pei Mingren had just nodded happily when Zhou Dachao came over from the kitchen with a normal expression.

In his hand he was holding a copper kettle that was steaming.

"Miss, little miss, why are you still standing outside the porch? It's very cold today. Come inside quickly. I'll pour you a cup of hot milk tea to warm you up!"

As he spoke, he raised his hand and lifted the copper kettle.

Then he looked at Pei Mingren, "Brother Pei, I am 79 this year, and I will be 80 after the Chinese New Year. I am so arrogant as to call you Brother Pei. Is that okay with me?"

"Oh, Mr. Zhou, I don't dare to take on that responsibility. Just call me Old Peitou or Old Pei. You and Mr. Zhou are both scholars. How can you be my brother? Just call me Old Peitou. That's what everyone in our village calls me. Look at Zhuzi's grandfather. Everyone in the village calls him Old Zhaotou. You can just call me Old Peitou in the future!"

Pei Mingren shuddered. What a joke! How could he be considered a decent person? He should be humble and behave himself right now!

Didn’t Mo Yan call this old man Zhou Dachao "Mr. Zhou"?

How dare he call others brothers? Who does he think he is?

Besides, Zhou Dachao will be the steward of this family in the future, and Pei Mingren is still a servant. For Niu Niu's sake, it's not a problem for him to call him Brother Pei, but isn't he still relying on Niu Niu's power?

If this makes Mo Yan unhappy, he will only suffer a greater loss.

Don't seek the vanity of a verbal title.

"Old Pei? How can this be possible?"

"Why not? That's how people in the village call me. It's inappropriate for you to call me Brother Pei! The seniority is messed up. This won't work!"

Pei Mingren’s main point is that he strongly opposes it and must insist on calling him Old Pei.

"That's fine. We are all from the same family, serving young ladies. So the names are really not important. I will be generous and call you Old Pei from now on. I will also call you the youngest one in your family the youngest one. You can call me Old Zhou or Housekeeper Zhou."

"Come on! Butler Zhou! From now on, we will all follow your orders!"

Pei Mingren didn't dare to call him Old Zhou, so the only title left was Butler Zhou.

"It's not about giving orders. It's all about serving the young lady and the young lady! I've checked the kitchen. It's almost ready. You and the youngest can set the table."

"Zhou Shuai Shuai, you go and help too!"

"Okay, Dad!"

Zhou Shuaishuai strode to the kitchen without saying a word.

Pei Mingren breathed a sigh of relief and quickly followed Zhou Shuaishuai in front of him.

Hearing what Zhou Dachao said, I knew that the youngest child had probably been taught a lesson and become obedient.

Although I don’t know how Zhou Dachao managed to make the youngest brother’s mind sober up again.

Anyway, there is no doubt that Zhou Dachao must have a firm grip on the youngest child.

Well, he is a useless father who can't stop him from rushing towards his own death. He is so happy that Zhou Dachao has the ability to do so.

After all, the youngest is still his son.

He could be rescued and we wouldn't have to watch him die, but I don't know if this matter can be let go for A Yan.

Although his mind was in a mess, his steps were quick and decisive.

When I went to the kitchen, I saw that the youngest brother’s face was as pale as a ghost.

When she saw him and Zhou Shuaishuai come in, she subconsciously took a step back. Only when she saw that there were only two of them did she feel a little better.

The last time I saw Zhou Shuaishuai, he had a gloomy look on his face as if to say, "Who the hell do you two father and son think you are?" But now he has completely turned into a little quail, not daring to make a sound.

Zhou Shuaishuai was a little surprised and didn't understand why this man had changed so much.

Pei Mingren was just shocked. He knew that the man who could make that woman Mo Yan call him Mr. Zhou and let him take full charge of the family in the future, could not be a kind-hearted good man.

Look, it only took a short while to make the youngest one, this reckless and vicious guy, so obedient as a quail.

Judging from the situation, even if Mo Yan asked him to be the housekeeper now, the youngest one would not dare to do so.

"The food is ready, my dad said it's time to serve the meal!" Zhou Shuaishuai felt strange, but he had to do what his father told him to do first.

Otherwise, if he delayed Miss Mo Yan and Niu Niu's meal, his father would scold him to death.

"It's all ready!"

Pei Laoyao said in a low voice, then looked at Pei Mingren, "Dad, let's carry this pot to the main room together."

"Oh, OK, OK!"

Pei Mingren was startled again by this long-lost call of "Dad" without any hatred, and he almost lost consciousness.

Ever since his wife Wang Cuihong passed away, Pei Laoya has treated him as his enemy and has always opposed him in everything he does.

This is the first time I've heard a normal "Dad" in more than half a year.

Pei Mingren even wanted to cry. At this moment, he was completely convinced that Zhou Dachao would be the housekeeper of Mo Yan's family.

Not to mention anything else, just the fact that he walked into the kitchen for less than half an hour and made the youngest kid, that bastard, completely obedient and submissive, shows real ability.

In the hall.

Zhou Dachao picked up the copper kettle and poured a full cup of milk tea into the cups in front of Mo Yan and Pei Zaizai.

"This milk tea is made with homemade milk powder, with some red dates, honey, dried osmanthus and dried longan added in. It is fragrant, sweet and not greasy. Both adults and children can drink some."

"Mr. Zhou is thoughtful."

Mo Yan said, lowering his head and taking a big sip. The temperature was just right for his mouth, "It tastes good."

Zizi and the others had just finished a bowl of egg custard. They weren’t actually hungry, but when they saw their mother drink it and say it was delicious, how could Zizi miss it? He immediately picked up the cup and took a sip. His eyes immediately widened, “Wow! Thank you Grandpa Zhou, it’s really delicious!”

Although there is actually no tea leaves in this milk tea, the taste is not inferior to the milk tea in milk tea shops in later generations. On the contrary, it seems to be more refreshing and delicious.

It immediately captured Pei Zaizai's picky taste buds.

Sister Xiaohua was a little anxious, "Sister, sister, Xiaohua doesn't have any, Xiaohua, Xiaohua wants to drink too."

"Oh, that's right, Grandpa Zhou, why isn't there any little sister Xiaohua?"

"My cousin is too young. Although there is no tea in it, it contains dried longan and red dates. It may cause a sore throat. My cousin is better not to drink it."

While Zhou Dachao explained seriously, he took out a bottle from his pocket.

"Cousin, do you want to drink from the bottle?"

"Wow! Grandpa Zhou, you are so amazing. You actually hid a bottle in your pocket?"

Pei Zaizai was stunned.

Xiaohua was also a little silly. Seeing the familiar bottle, she didn't feel strange, but just asked persistently, "Sister, is it the same as yours?"

"Xiaohua, it's the same, the same. Drink it. If you don't believe me, look, the color is the same. But the older sister is a big kid, and she has more strength in her hands, so she can hold the cup and drink. Xiaohua is the younger sister, and you are still young, so put it in the bottle and drink it!"

When Xiaohua heard this, she believed it immediately and said, "Sister, Sister Niuniu, let's drink together."

"Okay, let's drink together! Cheers!"
