After sending the troublesome Wang Cui Hua and Zhao Cheng away, Zhong Ziqi glanced at Zhao Zheng’an: “Dealing with them is more tiring than doing business.”

        Zhao Zheng’an smiled bitterly, “I didn’t know they were like this either.I’m sorry, for letting you look at the jokes.”

        “You do not do anything wrong. They’ll definitely come back in the future, so go deal with them. I won’t be the bad guy anymore.” Zhong Ziqi said.

        “Hn. Don’t worry I’ll deal with it.” Zhao Zheng’an said with assurance. He couldn’t always let his wife deal with his parents. It was too humiliating.

        “Okay, enough about that, where’s the beancurd jelly? I’m going to make ‘tofu pudding’. After this, I have to go to Zhao Amu’s house when it’s done.” Zhong Ziqi stretched his back. He had to get up early every day,as busy as a bee, his body was really unable to endure it.

        “It’s in the kitchen. You should rest more! I’ll go with you tomorrow.” Zhao Zheng’an was a bit distressed, how could he not see the tiredness under his eyes.

        “No need! You’re not well yet!” Zhao Zheng’an’s headache was worrying him enough, as he had to suffer from it every now and then.Besides, there was no harm in nursing his body a bit longer.

        “How long has it been?You think I’m a porcelain doll? I’ve been well for a long time. This matter is settled, your objection is ineffective. ” Zhao Zheng’an made up his mind once and for all, no matter how much Zhong Ziqi was dissatisfied and protested, he would not change it.

        “How can you do this? You’re too authoritarian and domineering!” Zhong Ziqi glared at him in discontent.

        Zhao Zheng’an said in soft tone to appease him  “I’ll just give you a few days to rest, look at how hard you’ve been working, my heart aches.”

        After hearing that, Zhong Ziqi said in his heart, okay, okay, if you want to go, just go, why are you talking about this? It’s embarrassing!

Zhong Ziqi’s ears were a little red as he walked into the kitchen.

As usual, Zhong Ziqi instructed Zhao Zheng’an to start the fire. He used a spoon to make thin slices of the bean curd jelly he had bought and put them into a pot to heat up and boil.

        In the courtyard, there was some sound of chickens and dogs jumping so Zhong Ziqi shouted, “Da Hei! Xiao Hei!”

        Soon two little black dogs with wagging tails came running over. They were fed well every day.They grew quickly and were now twice as big as they had been when they first arrived. Zhong Ziqi gritted his teeth and said, “Why do you guys tease them (the chicks) every day? I’m still hoping they’ll grow up and lay eggs soon!”

        Zhao Zheng’an laughed, “They don’t understand even if you talk to them. They still think you want to play with them.”

        As a matter of fact, Da Hei and Xiao Hei had watery eyes as they looked at Zhong Ziqi with their tails wagging around excitedly.

        Zhong Ziqi was speechless: “Our chicks are scared by the two of them. The chicks don’t even grow anymore.”

        “It’s okay! The chicks will be fine once they get used to it.”

        Zhong Ziqi’s face was black line, this one was even more unreliable.

        “Get up and go play! Look at you two, I become angry.” Zhong Ziqi used his foot to move the two clingy dogs to the other side.
