Transmigration: I Have Storage Space in the Apocalypse novel Chapter 70

Chapter 70: Chapter 068: Benefits Must Not Be Cut

——————

Zhou Xiuhua breezed into the kitchen, noticing the orderly arrangement without a close look and knowing that the Third Son’s Wife must have taken great care of it again, everything clean and bright.

"Mom, come over and sit down," Zhang Shanni called to her mother-in-law who just came in, "We’re about to start eating."

She took the wooden bowl that had been set aside to cool earlier and carefully placed it in front of Xiao Liu. Seeing his big eyes staring at her with an adorable begging expression, she cheerfully coddled him:

"Xiao Liu, be good, let’s wait for Grandpa to come, then we can start."

"Okay!" Xiao Liu then obediently continued to sit, staring at the steaming wooden bowl in front of him and swallowing hard.

"Today we’re starting dinner early!" Zhou Xiuhua noticed that Xiao Liu was really just sitting obediently not beginning to eat first, she curiously watched the little interaction between the Third Son’s Wife and him.

"It smells good! Grandpa, I’m back," Xiao San returned home alone today, running all the way and therefore arrived home about ten minutes earlier than usual, just in time to join the dinner. He put his schoolbag in the main room, saw Grandpa finishing drinking water, called someone to drink water, and then he entered the kitchen with Grandpa and Xiao Liu. However, Xiao Liu was the first to speak up, pointing to his elder brother:

"Grandma, Third Brother didn’t wash his hands!"

Xiao Liu’s seat was diagonally opposite the entrance, so he saw Xiao San entering the main room and then the kitchen right after coming home, and promptly spoke out, causing everyone to laugh while looking at Xiao San.

"I’ll go wash right away!" Xiao San glared at his younger brother secretly. This kid, he didn’t say anything when he didn’t wash his hands before, why is he being so fussy today?

"Alright, Xiao Liu is hungry, you can start eating first." Xie Tiesheng sat down and saw Xiao Liu staring straight at him, thus coaxing him to eat.

Xiao Liu looked puzzledly at Second Aunt, and seeing that she didn’t speak but was just making eye contact with him, he thought about it and whispered to Grandpa: "Grandpa eats first, then Xiao Liu will eat!"

"Wow, our Xiao Liu is getting so smart and well-behaved?" Zhou Xiuhua happily patted Xiao Liu’s shiny head sitting next to her, asking with a delighted smile.

"Second Aunt said that waiting for the elders to eat together is being a good child! Xiao Liu is growing up and is a good child!" Seeing Second Aunt smile, Xiao Liu expressed himself more clearly.

Zhang Shanni felt a bit embarrassed, feeling like she was overstepping. The child wasn’t her responsibility to discipline, it was just a casual remark, but Xiao Liu spilled the beans.

Seeing that neither of the family heads was displeased, Zhang Shanni breathed a sigh of relief.

Hearing Xiao Liu’s words, the adults all laughed and praised Xiao Liu for being a good child, and their looks towards Zhang Shanni became even more satisfied. Even Xie Tiesheng, who was usually reticent, felt a warm heart seeing how Zhang Shanni was, and became even more dissatisfied with the previous three daughters-in-law, "Alright, Grandpa will eat first!"

Xie Tiesheng really picked up his chopsticks and grabbed a piece of noodle into his mouth, fragrant, tender, oily, and with a strong taste of fresh shrimp, along with the vibrant long bok choy, colorful, fragrant, and delicious in every aspect. He then took another sip of the soup, the rich and fresh flavor. The old man had lived most of his life and was tasting such a sweet soup for the first time, "Good!"
