Yan Aohan knew this well, yet he still liked to share his jealousy with Zhu Yanyi.
Zhu Yanyi worked fast. By ten o’clock, she had finished making all the medicine. She packed the finished pills neatly. Yan Aohan helped clean the room. Only then did Zhu Yanyi hand the medicine to him.
"The uses are written on them," she said. "You keep them. You might forget otherwise."
Yan Aohan nodded. he hugged her gently. "Go back to your room and rest first. I will make lunch. I will call you when it is ready." he did not want her to be tired. Since he was here, he would share the work.
Zhu Yanyi needed to tidy up too. She nodded and went to her room to rest.
Yan Aohan put the medicine away. Then he went downstairs to the kitchen. He did not need to cook special food for the first day of the new year. There was plenty of leftover food. He just needed to heat it up.
When Zhu Yanli checked the time and prepared to heat the food, she found Yan Aohan had already done it. Seeing Zhu Yanli and Zhang Haifeng come out, he said, "Come help serve the food quickly. Yanli, go call Ani to eat. Haifeng, go call the others."
"Boss, did you make this food?" Zhang Haifeng looked silly and surprised.
Yan Aohan looked at him. "It is just heating food. Why are you so surprised?"
"Surprised? You say I am surprised?" Zhang Haifeng pointed at his nose. "I have followed you for twenty years. When did you ever heat food for me? You never even served me a bowl of water."
"You want me to cook for you? Serve you water?" Yan Aohan looked at Zhang Haifeng. His eyes looked dangerous. He looked like he was asking, "Are you sure you want this?"
Zhang Haifeng shook his head quickly. "No, no. I absolutely do not mean that. I just cannot believe it. Boss, you are too much. Here, you do everything. In the capital, you ignore us."
Yan Aohan looked him up and down. "You really want me to manage you?"
Manage? Zhang Haifeng saw the look in Yan Aohan’s eyes. He did not dare ask for that. If Yan Aohan managed him, he would suffer greatly.
"No, no. I just could not help complaining. Hehe. Boss, you worked hard. I will go call people and serve the food. Let us drink two cups at noon." He went to get wine and glasses.
Zhu Yanli and Zhu Yanyi came downstairs. They saw Zhang Haifeng’s flattering face. The sisters looked at each other, confused.
Since Zhu Shunyao and others were not home, there were few people. But there was plenty of food. Luo Gang and others did not drink every meal. Today, they did not drink. Only Zhang Haifeng and Yan Aohan drank. They only had one cup each. That counted as drinking.
After eating, Zhang Haifeng brought out a set of mahjong tiles from somewhere. They moved the table into the sun. They played mahjong while sunbathing. Zhu Yanyi and Zhu Yanli brought out two lounge chairs. They closed their eyes and slept in the sun.
When Zhu Shunyao and the others returned, they saw this scene.
Zhu Shunyao got out of the car and smiled. "You are really comfortable."
Zhu Yanyi opened her eyes and waved. "Dad, you are back."
"I am back." Zhu Shunyao took several rose plants from the car.
