Zhao Yun 'er shrugged and replied, "It's fine!"
Mu Lan's lips curled into a bitter smile.
Although there were still some people who were sick of Family Zhu, their family's life had become better ever since they moved out of Family Zhu's house.
Now that there was no Family Zhu's nagging, the house was much quieter.
After Zhao Yun 'er and Mu Lan returned home, they soaked the bamboo leaves and glutinous rice in water.
The bamboo leaves had to be washed gently with a brush. As for the glutinous rice, it had to be soaked for a period of time before the zongzi would taste good.
Using this time, Zhao Yun 'er also took out some bacon from home and cut it into small pieces. When the time came, she just had to put a piece into each zongzi.
This was her favorite, the bacon zongzi. Other than that, she also made some candied dates and mung beans.
Because it was almost the Dragon Boat Festival, Old Madam Liang was in a good mood.
Although her legs were a little inconvenient now, she knew how to do these small chores.
Wrapping zongzi was Old Madam Liang's specialty.
For so many years, every year when the Liang family celebrated the Dragon Boat Festival, they would eat zongzi through Old Madam Liang's handbag.
After coming to Zhao Yun 'er's house, Old Madam Liang's daily life was well taken care of by Zhao Yun' er's family.
There were many chores that Old Madam Liang didn't have the chance to do even if she wanted to.
Now that she finally had a chance to be useful, Old Madam Liang was eager to give it a try.
"Eldest Girl, I have to make a few zongzi today. Don't stop me.
This isn't hard work. I can do tiring work! "Old Madam Liang said with a straight face. It seemed that if Liang Jinqiao refused, Old Madam Liang would get angry with her.
Liang Jinqiao smiled helplessly and said, "Okay, Mother. Let's make these zongzi as a family!"
Old Madam Liang nodded in satisfaction. "Mm, that's more like it!"
At noon, the whole family had a simple meal. The food was not bad. Zhao Yun'er made streaky pork. The whole family ate one more bowl of rice than usual.
Zhao Tianan didn't know if it was because he was growing, so he liked to eat oil. He directly poured the oil from the bottom of the pork belly bowl into the bowl, mixed it into the rice, and then ate it with relish.
Zhao Yun'er was used to living in the 21st century. She preferred to eat rapeseed oil rather than animal oil.
Eating too much animal oil could easily lead to high blood lipids. In the eyes of modern people, it was better to eat less.
But for the ancient people, they didn't consume much oil and water on a daily basis, and they did very tiring work every day. If they didn't eat some animal oil, they wouldn't seem very energetic.
Zhao Wenhua also liked to eat animal fat, but she gave the fat in the pork belly bowl to Zhao Tianan.
After the meal, the glutinous rice was almost done soaking. It was time to prepare the dumplings.
At this time, someone came to Zhao Yun'er's house.
"Third Sister-in-law, are you at home?" It was Zhao Yun'er's uncle, Zhao Ping, who was a few generations away.
Liang Jinqiao hurriedly responded, "Yes!"
Liang Jinqiao said and went out of the house. Zhao Yun'er followed him out.
"What's wrong?" Liang Jinqiao asked, thinking that Zhao Ping came to see him for something.
Zhao Ping explained, "Third Sister-in-law, last time you told me that you wanted to raise a cat. My cat gave birth to a litter of kittens more than half a month ago. Now I caught one for you!"
Zhao Ping said and handed the kitten in his hand to Liang Jinqiao.
