"Who bullied my Doumiao?"
Zhu Shunyao had heard that his daughter and son had returned. He quickly finished the work in his hands and hurried over. As soon as he entered the door, he heard his son complaining that someone had bullied him.
"Big Sister and Second Sister," Zhu Zhibin said quickly, tattling. "Dad, you must punish them properly."
Zhu Shunyao coughed twice. "Son, in our family, women have a higher status than men. My status is really not high, so I cannot help you deal with your two sisters."
"Dad, you are so cowardly," Zhu Zhibin said, covering his eyes with a look of disgust.
"O(n_n)o Haha~" Zhu Yanyi and Zhu Yanli laughed loudly. Xie Xinlian beside them also laughed. Even Luo Gang and the other seven were giggling nearby.
"Dad, we are back." Only now did they have free time to greet Zhu Shunyao.
Zhu Shunyao held one daughter in each hand. He looked them up and down, nodding slightly. "Good. Your complexion is fine, but you are thinner. You certainly did not eat well."
Zhu Yanli smiled and spoke. "How am I thin? I have always been like this. I just grew taller now. Also, my appetite is very good. Many of my classmates are even trying to lose weight."
"Pah, pah, pah. Good girls should not do that. Health is the most important thing." Zhu Shunyao looked at Zhu Yanli with dissatisfaction. "Ah Nang, I told you, you must never try to lose weight. We do not follow that trend in our family."
"Dad, don't you know me? I would never try to lose weight," Zhu Yanli said quickly to comfort Zhu Shunyao.
Zhu Shunyao trusted his daughter and nodded with satisfaction. Beside him, Zhu Zhibin looked very disappointed. "So I was really adopted. Look at the status of men in our family. Sigh. Only we know the bitterness and sweetness."
"You boy, how long has it been since we met, and you are already a man?" Zhu Shunyao let go of his daughters and walked to Zhu Zhibin. "You do not even have hair on your face yet."
"Dad, you cannot favor girls over boys like this anymore. Otherwise, I will run away from home." Zhu Zhibin’s threat did not scare Zhu Shunyao at all.
"Fine. Run away then. You will just leave our house and go to your grandfather’s house."
Parents are happiest when their children return home. Zhu Shunyao pretended to dislike Zhu Zhibin, but in reality, he cared for him during meals. This time, he specially prepared a large round table.
Zhu Yanyi saw the large round table and her eyes lit up. "Dad, why did you think of making such a big round table? It can seat fifteen people. And there is a small rotating tray on top for dishes."
"I just thought of it suddenly. Last time I went to your godfather’s house, I saw them having a round table made. I thought our family would definitely grow larger. Not to mention others, Luo Gang and the others by your side are also family. If we all gather together in the future, sitting at square tables would require many tables. So I had someone specially make this large round table. No, two of them."
"The rotating tray was suggested by your Cheng Xu brother. He said some high-end restaurants have this thing now. I thought it was good, so I got one. It is really good, isn't it?" Zhu Shunyao explained proudly.
Zhu Yanyi gave a thumbs up. "Really good. Dad, this table is great. This year for New Year, even if we do not invite others, our family has twelve people. If we used square tables, we would really need two small tables. Now with this large round table, it is perfect. We can all sit around one table, eat together, and chat. How lively!"
