I became the Prime Minister's Adored Wife after Transmigrating

Chapter 296 - Chapter 296: You’ll Be Sleepy Soon...



Half an hour later, Ji Zhao finally calmed down.

“Chenchen, when you’re outside, don’t suffer.” Ji Zhao looked at Ji Chen, who had grown a lot taller, and reminded him with a gentle gaze, “If you miss me, write to me.”

“Okay.”

“Take care of yourself. Don’t let yourself get hurt.”

“Okay.” “Send me a letter every 10 days.”

“Okay.”

“Also, don’t make Master Song angry. Listen to him obediently!”

“Okay.”

“Ahem.” Shen Yao pretended to cough twice and advised in a low voice,

“Zhaozhao, aren’t you hungry? Let’s eat noodles first?”

” -Alright.”

Ji Zhao quickly finished the bowl of cold noodles and then carefully instructed Ji Chen.

It was not until Ji Chen could not help but start to doze off that she gradually stopped talking.

“It’s getting late. Go back to your room and sleep. I’ll make soup dumplings for you tomorrow morning.”

“Okay.” Ji Chen, who looked sleepy, nodded in a daze. Then, he carried the light blue bag and turned to walk out.

Ji Zhao slumped on the table, looking even more depressed.

Shen Yao sat beside her and accompanied her quietly.

“I can’t bear to part with Chenchen.” Ji Zhao looked at him sideways and pouted aggrievedly. “If only I hadn’t married you. I could have gone to Jiangnan with

Chenchen.”

“The rising sun shines on the riverside flowers, which are redder than fire.

When spring comes, the river water is so green its blue.” Shen Yao remembered this poem and smiled as he rubbed her round cheeks. He said gently, “Zhaozhao, if you really want to accompany Chenchen to Jiangnan, then let’s go together.”

“Are you serious?’ Ji Zhao’s eyes lit up.

“A gentleman’s promise is worth its weight in gold.”

Looking at the bright smile on her face, Shen Yao was also infected by her emotions and could not help but smile.

“Shen Yao, you’re really too good!” Ji Zhao threw herself into his arms and hugged his neck.

She pressed her ear against his chest and listened to his steady, strong heartbeat. She closed her eyes comfortably.

“In the future, we must find an opportunity to see the scenery of Jiangnan.” Ji Zhao sighed softly. “Although I can’t bear to part with Chenchen, he’s a little man. He has to learn to grow up by himself, not to mention that this is a rare opportunity.”

“Zhaozhao, one day, I will bring you all over the mountains and rivers to see the spring scenery of Jiangnan and the snow in the north…”

“Yes, I believe you!’

“It’s getting late. Why don’t we settle down now?”

“But I’m not sleepy yet…”

“You’ll feel sleepy soon…” Shen Yao looked down at her eyes and smiled silently. Then, he picked her up unexpectedly and walked towards the warm tent behind him—

The hibiscus tent was warm and the spring night was short. The clouds and rain were overturned until dawn.

The next day.

When Ji Zhao walked into the kitchen with her hands supporting her waist, Zhao Lanhua’s heart ached.

“Third Brother, that punk! He doesn’t know how to dote on his wife at all! “Mother, I think Third Brother is like this because he dotes on Ah Tao!” Eldest Sister-in-law Shen, who was kneading dough, could not help but laugh and tease.

“That’s right! Mother, just wait for another grandson!’ Second Sister-in-law Shen, who was stuffing firewood into the furnace, added with a smile.

Hearing the two sister-in-laws’s teasing words, Ji Zhao felt her face getting hotter and hotter.

“Have the two of you forgotten when you first got married? Eldest daughter-in-law, have you forgotten who was the one who clamored to sleep with me after getting married for a month? Second daughter-in-law, don’t laugh anymore. Whenever Second son comes home to rest, were you be able to get out of bed the next day?” Zhao Lanhua said seriously.

The three wives blushed.

The atmosphere suddenly became a little awkward.

“Mother, I want to make soup dumplings.” Ji Zhao coughed lightly, breaking the strange and awkward silence. “Alright, I’ll go get you a steamer.”

“Thank you, Mother! ”

After washing her hands, Ji Zhao began to prepare the soup dumplings.

Fortunately, Zhao Lanhua had helped prepare the soup last night, so it was not difficult for Ji Zhao to make it.

Sister-in-law Shen had already kneaded the dough, so Ji Zhao began to mix the minced meat.

She placed the minced meat with various seasonings into a large basin and stirred it in one direction until the minced meat and seasonings were completely mixed together. Then, she added the soup that she had prepared beforehand and continued to mix it right on the heels of the seasoning.

When Ji Zhao was preparing the filling, Zhao Lanhua and Eldest Sister-in-law Shen also started to make the bun skin.

“Ah Tao, why did you apply a layer of oil in the steamer?” Sister-in-law Shen asked curiously when she saw what she was doing.

“There’s oil in the steamer. When it’s boiled, the steam will have oil. This way, the soup dumplings will taste better.”

“Then did the xiaolongbaos at the West Street of the county also use this method?” Second Sister-in-law Shen exclaimed, “That Xiaolongbao tastes better than other people’s, but the price is also two copper coins!”

“There are only seven xiaolongbaos in one steamer, and each steamer is sold for fourteen copper coins. However, the shop on West Street charged two copper coins more than the other shops, which is sixteen copper coins. However, the oil they brushed on the steamer also costs money, so that breakfast shop isn ‘t considered expensive. Ji Zhao smiled and seriously calculated this account.

“That seems to make sense.” Second Sister-in-law Shen nodded silently. “It’s just that I didn’t expect it to be two copper coins more expensive because of this. I thought that the reason their family sold it so expensive was because they had a lot of minced meat!’

“The same ingredients can make different tastes in two people’s hands. Moreover, there will be differences in taste and layers. This is a very normal phenomenon.” Ji Zhao smiled and comforted her. “But Second Sister-in-law, when you taste the soup dumplings I made, you will definitely think that others’ cooking is not delicious at all!”

“Of course! ”

Second Sister-in-law Shen immediately nodded and replied with a bright smile.

In addition to the soup dumplings, Ji Zhao also fried some fried dough twists and made some shortbread.

She divided the snacks into two portions and brought them to Ji Chen.

“I prepared this for Master Song.” Ji Zhao looked at him and reminded him seriously, “The other one is for you.”

“Sister.” Ji Chen lowered his head reluctantly. “Are you really not going to send me to the county?’

Ji Zhao rubbed his head reluctantly and said in a disappointed tone, “When seeing a friend off on a long journey, we must part eventually. ”

Ji Zhao was most afraid of sending him off. Rather than being reluctant to part with him, it was better not to send him off.

“I… can’t bear to part with sister.” Ji Chen rushed into her arms and said in a choked voice.

“Chenchen,” Ji Zhao looked down at his eyes and comforted him gently, “you have to know that every parting is for a better reunion.”

“It’s better to travel tens of thousands of miles than to read tens of thousands of books.” Ji Zhao rubbed his cheek and said with a firm gaze, “When the New Year is approaching, I’ll make more of your favorite sausages..”
