Chapter 751: Third Aunt’s Visit (2)!
Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Si Cong wanted to say sothing, but seeing how appetizingly Zhou Chao and Lin Wu were devouring their food, he couldn’t help but feel hungry himself. Despite having eaten lamb for several days in a row, he couldn’t deny the fact that the lamb here was exceptionally delicious.
“Lin Wu, save so. Look at how many plates you’ve eaten!” Si Cong said, joining the “battle.”
When they had almost finished eating, Zhou Chao’s phone rang.
Looking at the caller ID, a hint of surprise appeared on his face, but he quickly answered the call.
“Hello, Third Aunt!”
“Xiao Chao, hope I’m not interrupting you!” Third Aunt’s voice carried a hint of joy.
Although he was a bit puzzled about what good news might have happened, Zhou Chao didn’t stop talking, “No, I’m just having dinner with so friends outside. Just finished eating, is there sothing you need?”
“It’s nothing major. Your uncle has so ti off recently, and I also have so ti. We plan to co to Jingdu to see Jiang Li. I haven’t seen her since she got pregnant, and I miss her a bit!”
As soon as Zhou Chao heard this, he understood. As the only male descendant of the Lao Zhou family, the matter of continuing the family line was important, and Third Aunt was concerned about it.
A happy smile appeared on Zhou Chao’s lips. “Anyti is fine, Third Aunt. When do you plan to co? Shall I arrange a plane to pick you up?”
“No need, Xiao Chao. We’re not children. We’ll just fly over ourselves when the ti cos!”
After a mont of thought, Zhou Chao said, “Alright then, when you arrive at Jingdu Airport, I’ll co to pick you up!”
“Well, your uncle and I will take an early flight the day after tomorrow. I’ll give you a call when we arrive in Jingdu!”
“Okay!”
Without saying much more, Third Aunt hung up the phone and then looked at Si Cong, saying, “We might not be able to hang out tomorrow. My Third Aunt and her family are coming to Jingdu to see Ah Li!”
“Alright, it’s fine. There’s nothing much to do here anyway. I’ll just go back to my Modu and hang out with so pretty girls!” Si Cong shrugged indifferently.
He didn’t have high hopes for the follow-up of this self-driving tour. He had originally thought of having a good ti but ended up getting a vivid lesson in business from Zhou Chao. Now he just wanted to return to his tender land and relax his tired body.
“Okay, we’ll go back to Jingdu early tomorrow morning. It’s not too far anyway, just four or five hours!” Zhou Chao decided their plans for tomorrow.
“Alright, boss / Young Master Zhou!”
The three of them didn’t waste any more ti. After finishing their al, they hailed a taxi and returned to the hotel.
—————–
The next day, before dawn had broken, Zhou Chao dragged Si Cong out of bed, also taking the opportunity to get back at him for disturbing his sleep last ti.
Especially seeing the almost cannibalistic look in Si Cong’s eyes, Zhou Chao couldn’t help but feel a sense of happiness.
It took almost half an hour to get ready. Si Cong had originally planned to have breakfast, but Zhou Chao directly vetoed it, saying that he would treat him to sothing good when they got back to Jingdu.
By the ti they arrived in Jingdu, it was already around two in the afternoon. They hadn’t stopped along the way, and the three of them were already hungry, especially Si Cong. Since he had been driving alone, he couldn’t eat the snacks he had bought.
“Si Cong, want to grab a al together?”
“I won’t eat. It’s too late now, and I don’t know what to eat at this hour. I’ll just fix sothing up when I get back later.” Si Cong refused without hesitation. He was tired and hungry, and just wanted to go ho, lie down, and order so takeout!
“Alright, I’ll co out to hang out with you after I’m done!”
Si Cong waved his hand and drove off.
“Boss, should we go straight ho or eat out before going back?” Lin Wu turned his head and asked Zhou Chao in the back seat.
Zhou Chao leaned back in his seat and rubbed his brow, saying, “Let’s go back to the courtyard by the canal and let Aunt Kuang make sothing for us to eat at ho!”
Upon hearing this, Lin Wu didn’t say anything either and imdiately started the car towards ho.
“Zhou Chao, you’re back!” As soon as Zhou Chao and Lin Wu entered the house, they ran into Aunt Kuang sweeping fallen leaves in the front yard.
“Yeah, Aunt Kuang, could you make us sothing to eat? We haven’t had lunch yet. Oh, is Ah Li at ho?”
“She isn’t ho. She went back to her mother’s house a few days ago!”
Zhou Chao nodded lightly at Aunt Kuang’s words and then collapsed onto the sofa.
Aunt Kuang’s movents were quick. In less than half an hour, two dishes and a soup were ready.
Both of them were so hungry that their stomachs were growling. They picked up their bowls and started eating. Aunt Kuang looked at their eating habits and couldn’t help but be surprised.
“How co they seem like they haven’t eaten anything all day?”
Zhou Chao and Lin Wu didn’t hear Aunt Kuang’s muttering, and even if they did, they didn’t care. After all, who could bla them for being as hungry as wolves?
“Ah, it feels so comfortable. Ho-cooked food is always the best!” Lin Wu patted his round belly and sighed.
Zhou Chao glanced at him, looked at the empty plates on the table, touched his own half-full stomach, and reluctantly put down his chopsticks.
Seeing Zhou Chao’s actions, Aunt Kuang quickly stepped forward. “Young Master Zhou, if you’re still hungry, I can make so more.”
With a gentle wave of his hand, Zhou Chao politely declined. It was only two or three hours until evening, and he planned to go to his father-in-law’s house later to see Ah Li. He might as well have a al there.
Aunt Kuang didn’t ask any further questions and started clearing the table.
“I’m going to my father-in-law’s house later. I might not be back tonight. Rember to check the car. I’ll pick up Third Aunt at the airport tomorrow!”
“Okay, boss!”
Seeing Lin Wu’s embarrassed look, Zhou Chao shook his head with a smile, got up, and went upstairs to take a shower and change clothes before heading out.
By the ti Zhou Chao arrived at the large courtyard, it was already half-past six in the evening. He had originally planned to leave early but ended up falling asleep in the bathtub while taking a bath.
As the saying goes, “It’s better to arrive at the right ti rather than simply arriving early.” When Zhou Chao arrived at his father-in-law’s house, it happened to be dinner ti.
“Brother Chao, when did you co back? You didn’t even bother to give a call!” Jiang Li, linking her arm with Zhou Chao’s, pouted.
Gently pinching Jiang Li’s small cheek, Zhou Chao said, “I arrived this afternoon and ca over right after taking a bath!”
“Alright, can you two stop showing affection everywhere? Can you consider the feelings of the elderly?” Jiang Youdao, sitting at the head of the dining table, said irritably.
“Hmph, Dad, you can also show affection with Mom!” Jiang Li frowned slightly.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Youdao glanced discreetly at his wife, Li Ya, and a thought crossed his mind. Should he also be romantic with her? However, he quickly dismissed the idea. If this got out, he would have nowhere to hide his face.
“Alright, let’s sit down and eat. The dishes are getting cold!” Jiang Li’s mother looked at Zhou Chao and Lin Wu with a smile.
Jiang Li sat down holding Zhou Chao’s hand, and what was originally just an ordinary dinner suddenly beca a bit different.
“Brother Chao, try this fish!”
“Brother Chao, taste this shredded at!”
“Brother Chao, these shrimp are especially delicious. Try them quickly!”
In no ti, Zhou Chao’s plate was piled up like a small hill, and Jiang Li’s actions didn’t stop there. She even picked up a piece of shrimp with her chopsticks and fed it to Zhou Chao.
Seeing this scene, Jiang Youdao felt that the dinner tonight wasn’t enjoyable anymore. He gave Zhou Chao a sowhat unfriendly look, but Zhou Chao just looked proudly at his own bowl.
This made Jiang Youdao so annoyed that he didn’t even feel like eating. In the end, he could only vent his frustration on the food.
After dinner, Zhou Chao transford into a diligent son-in-law and took the initiative to clean up the table. Jiang Li wanted to help, but Jiang Youdao called her over just as she was about to start.
Seeing all this, Li Ya gave Jiang Youdao a disdainful look, but didn’t say much.
After Zhou Chao finished cleaning the kitchen and sat down on the sofa, Jiang Youdao, with a stern face, said, “Xiao Chao, co with to the study.”
After saying that, Jiang Youdao got up and walked towards the study upstairs.
Zhou Chao knew what his father-in-law wanted to talk to him about. Although his father-in-law had a stern face, Zhou Chao wasn’t worried at all. Instead, he smiled affectionately at Jiang Li for a mont before heading upstairs.
