Feng Yuanyuan was stunned for a moment when she received the call, "Brother Zhao Dong, why did you call me so early?"
Zhao Dong asked directly: "Yuanyuan, have you had breakfast?"
Feng Yuanyuan smiled and said, "Not yet."
Zhao Dong nodded, "Then you can come over and eat later, it's already prepared here."
Feng Yuanyuan was a little confused. Although she often ate at Zhao's house before, it was different today.
Today is the first day Sophie married into the Zhao family. No matter how close she is to the Zhao family in private, they still have two surnames after all, so she still has some sense of propriety.
After hesitating, she asked, "Brother Zhao Dong, is this...appropriate?"
Zhao Dong explained, "What are you talking about? We are all one family, what's wrong with that? Come on, mom asked you to come over too."
Feng Yuanyuan was a little surprised, "Is this what Auntie meant?"
Seeing Zhao Dong agreeing, she seemed to have some understanding and hesitantly agreed.
…
The sister-in-law was busy making breakfast, and Sophie followed suit by setting the dishes.
By the time eldest brother and Xiao Man finished washing up, breakfast was ready.
Seeing Feng Yuanyuan enter the room, the eldest brother smiled and said, "Yuanyuan came just in time, sit down quickly and let's eat together."
Feng Yuanyuan was unusually a little reserved today, and she lost her usual casualness in front of Sophie.
On the other hand, it was Sophie who said with a warm face: "Yuanyuan is here, don't be stunned, I will serve you a meal."
Feng Yuanyuan smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, don't be busy. I've eaten at home."
Mother Zhao sat at the main seat and said, "Yuanyuan, come, sit here and eat some more with me."
Feng Yuanyuan nodded, pulled out her chair and sat down.
It was a pleasant meal.
Zhao Dong was very hungry and wolfed down several large bowls of porridge.
The sister-in-law smiled and teased, "Xiaodong, eat slowly, and no one will compete with you."
"What I know is that you were very tired last night. What I don't know is that you thought Xiaofei abused you..."
Sophie's cheeks suddenly turned red, making the whole family laugh.
The eldest brother coughed in a serious manner, "I am a sister-in-law after all. What are you talking about?"
The sister-in-law asked, "What nonsense am I talking about? Yesterday Xiaodong was accepting relatives and entertaining relatives and friends."
"Running around and busy, aren't you just tired?"
"If you, the elder brother, don't feel sorry for me, then I, the sister-in-law, will feel sorry for you!"
Seeing that his eldest brother was hungry, Zhao Dong hurriedly answered, "Brother, my sister-in-law is right. She is indeed hungry. She was hungry last night."
When Sophie heard this, her hands holding the vegetables paused.
The eldest brother complained, "Why don't you come over to eat when you're hungry? The kitchen here has everything."
Zhao Dong explained, "Xiao Fei cooked for me, so I can eat whatever I want."
Sophie lowered her head to eat the food, not daring to raise her head to look at anyone. In embarrassment, she stamped her foot under the table.
Zhao Dong's expression changed with pain, and he almost spit out the food in his mouth.
The eldest brother asked in a panic, "What's wrong?"
Zhao Xiaoman held the rice bowl and said with a smile: "It must be because my aunt is not good at cooking and my uncle is not full!"
Sophie went to pick up food from Zhao Xiaoman, "Don't pay attention to your brother-in-law, he's not serious!"
Chatting and having a good atmosphere.
Sophie was the first to speak, "Mom, everyone in the family is here today, including Yuanyuan. I have a few words to say."
With that said, she motioned to Zhao Dong, "Pour me a glass of wine."
Zhao Dong didn't ask any questions, took the bottle from his elder brother, took the wine glass, and poured two glasses of wine one after another.
Sophie stood up and said, "Mom, I want to offer you this first glass of wine."
Zhao Dong also stood up while holding the wine bottle.
Sophie raised her glass and said: "My mother passed away early, and I have lived in a single-parent family since I was a child. There are some things that I may not do well enough, and it is inevitable that I will not consider them properly."
"If I do something wrong in the future, feel free to criticize me and I will definitely correct it!"
As he said this, he drank a glass of wine.
Zhao Dong handed over the second cup.
Sophie raised her glass again, "Brother, sister-in-law, I want to toast you with this glass of wine!"
Brother and sister-in-law are about to get up.
But Sophie held her down and said, "Sit down quickly. Zhao Dong and I are juniors. Since we have entered the Zhao family today, I should be the one to toast this glass of wine."
"I don't want to say too much, but I would like to thank my elder brother and sister-in-law for their continued concern and care for Zhao Dong."
"Since Zhao Dong and I are married, I should keep this kindness in my heart."
"From now on, Zhao Dong and I will share the responsibilities at home!"
The eldest brother raised his glass and joined in the toast, but his tone turned to Zhao Dong, "Xiaodong, today you finally got married and became a talented person. I am worthy of our father."
"Also, Xiaofei is very good. Your sister-in-law and I like her very much. If you dare to bully her in the future, we will not forgive you!"
Zhao Dong filled up the third glass of wine.
Sophie turned around and said, "Yuanyuan, I want to toast you with this glass of wine!"
Feng Yuanyuan motioned to Zhao Dong to pour her a glass, then stood up with the glass in hand.
Sophie's eyes were bright and she said loudly: "Because of our wedding these two days, my family has been very busy, especially you, who has been running around and busy. I will keep this favor in my heart."
"Since Zhao Dong treats you as a biological sister, I will also treat you as a biological sister. From now on, we will treat you as biological sisters. If anyone dares to bully you, I will stand up for you!"
Feng Yuanyuan didn't say much and joined in the toast.
Mother Zhao was watching from the side, but her gaze towards Sophie was a little more appreciative and gratifying.
Had breakfast.
The three women were busy in the kitchen and quickly cleaned up.
Mother Zhao looked at the time, stood up and said, "Come with me."
…
The next room.
The light was slightly dim, and there was a portrait beside the wall.
Zhao Dong and his eldest brother wiped the photo frame together, cleared the table and placed tributes.
Mother Zhao watched from the side, then stepped forward to touch the photo frame, her eyes were slightly moist, and she gradually became distracted.
This was the first time Sophie entered this room. She followed Zhao Dong the whole time with a serious expression and followed the rules, not daring to go out of her way at all.
The man in the photo frame has a majestic appearance and is dressed in military uniform.
Sophie didn't dare to look more, but it seemed that Zhao Dong should be more like Zhao's mother.
Just as I was thinking about it, Mother Zhao waved over, "Xiao Fei, come here, you can also pay your respects."
Sophie nodded obediently, lifted up her skirt, and knelt down respectfully on the futon.
Feng Yuanyuan stood not far away, her expression a little more complicated.
Especially when she looked at Sophie, her expression was a bit envious, and there were some indescribable emotions.
According to the rules of the Zhao family, kneeling today is equivalent to worshiping in the ancestral hall, and it is also equivalent to the Zhao family officially recognizing Sophie's daughter-in-law status.
Feng Yuanyuan bit the corner of her mouth.
In fact, Zhao's mother asked Zhao Dong to call her today, and she understood something.
Apart from anything else, Sophie is untouchable as the daughter-in-law of the Zhao family!
I feel somewhat unwilling and a little aggrieved.
For Zhao Dong, she had waited and hoped for so many years, but in the end it was all in vain.
Although the baby's statement has no legal effect.
But after so many years of obsession, he was suddenly sentenced to death?
