“Dage? Is it really you?” Zhou Awu rushed forward excitedly and held Zhou Gang’s shoulders with both hands, then looked at him from head to toe.

Zhou Gang was also very excited. Their Zhou family now still has two descendants.

The two brothers had many things to say. They were about to open their mouths, but Zhao Sue pulled Zhou Awu’s sleeve and gave him a wink, signaling that Bai Zhi had just arrived. She must also have a lot of words to say to Zhao Lan. She’s afraid that staying inside the room is not appropriate.

Zhou Awu took Zhou Gang up to the top floor and went to the attic where Zhou Xiaofeng lived.

Bai Zhi sat down next to Zhao Lan, full of guilt: “Niang, I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have hidden it from you. But I’m afraid you don’t agree, so I went secretly.”

Zhao Lan didn’t speak. In fact, she had forgiven her in her heart. She was angry and got sick, but it didn’t matter. The most important thing was that she could come back safely.

Now that she’s back, other things don’t matter.

Bai Zhi leaned forward and hugged Zhao Lan’s body. She leaned her head in her arm, then said coquettishly: “Niang, forgive me. I swear, I won’t do it again. I’ll tell you what I will do, then tell me if you agree, okay?”

How could Zhao Lan stand up to her coquettish? She raised her hand and patted her back: “You, you’re so ridiculous.”

Seeing the mother and daughter talking, Zhao Sue hurriedly butted in to hand over the bowl of porridge: “Zhi’er, let your mother eat something. She hasn’t had a good meal for several days.”

Bai Zhi was very sad, but she tried hard to stop her tears. From the moment she entered the door, she noticed that Zhao Lan was thin and her face doesn’t look good. She knew she was worried sick about her.

Bai Zhi took the porridge and said: “Niang, I will feed you.”

Zhao Lan shook her head: “No, I can eat by myself.” She took the porridge in Bai Zhi’s hand and ate it slowly. The more she ate, the more her appetite got better. She ate three bowls at once.

After eating, Zhao Lan became sleepy again. These days, she didn’t sleep well. When she closed her eyes, she dreamed that Bai Zhi was covered with blood and died, which scared her to close her eyes.

After Zhao Lan fell asleep, Bai Zhi and Zhao Sue came out of the room. Bai Zhi asked: “How is the herb growth in the field?”

Zhao Sue smiled and said, “You came back in time. The herbs in the first plot have grown up. Boss Chen has been here several times. We gave him the recipe, but he wanted you to personally go to the diners’ house to teach the chef to do it. He also came here yesterday. He kept asking where you went, but we didn’t dare to say more.”

Bai Zhi nodded her: “Alright, I’ll go tomorrow.” After all, it’s a medicinal diet, unlike other dishes. It’s normal for Boss Chen to be more careful.

After a short break, she took Zhao Sue to the field, picked up some lu qiao and purple orchids that had just grown up, and returned at home. The purple orchids had already bloomed, the flowers were light pink, the leaves were purple. The pink and purple colors matched each other, which made it looked extremely beautiful.

“This flower is really beautiful. Can it be eaten?” Zhao Sue asked.

Bai Zhi nodded: “Although the flower has no medicinal effect, it tastes sweet, so it is also edible. If you combined it to the purple orchid’s leaves, the taste is simply amazing!”

Zhao Sue swallowed her saliva, and then pointed her finger at the Lu Qiao and asked: “This Lu Qiao’s leaves are so small, but the stems are so thick. Won’t it be hard to eat the stems?”
