Man Bao blinked, Liu Family Village
Isn't that the village of her ex-brother-in-law
The corners of Zhou Xi's mouth turned up, unable to suppress the smile on his face, he said, "She went back to her mother's house two days ago, and ended up watching a lively scene. It was Liu Dalang, whose son was one year old, and when he caught Zhou, The people in the village went to see it, and found that the child looked very different from him, but he was very similar to a person from Dama Village next door, and someone in Liujia Village was familiar with that person, so he could tell at a glance."
Man Bao is not young, of course he knows what this means.
What's more, she didn't listen to similar words.
For example, when I was younger, I went to my uncle’s house to pay New Year’s greetings, guests to Qian’s house, or people I met on the road. They liked to pinch her face, and then smiled: “This child is so cute, white and round. know who to look like."
At that time, Man Bao was still young, so he would naturally proudly say that he looked like a mother.
But those people laughed haha, and then said: "Your mother's face is an oval face, and your father's face is square, they don't look like each other."
At that time, Man Bao was a little unhappy, but someone said that her eyes resembled her father's, so she was reluctant to be happy.
Later, when she grew up, she was taken by the fourth brother, fifth brother and sixth brother. The eyes of the four brothers and sisters are very similar. It should be said that the eyes of the Zhou family brothers and sisters are very similar. Among them, Man Bao and Zhou Zhoulang eyes most like.
Only then did Man Bao break away from that strange atmosphere.
So as soon as Zhou Xi said this, she realized, "Isn't the child from your ex-brother-in-law?"
Zhou Xi restrained herself and didn't laugh out loud, but her face was still brimming with happiness. She nodded and said, "No, the whole Liu Family Village knows about it."
So she's happy.
That's why she decided not only to make new clothes for Man Bao, but also to buy more meat and bones to support her family.
She raised the corner of her mouth and said, "Man Bao, don't tell others what Eldest Sister told you."
Man Bao nodded fiercely, "I won't tell, I'm the best at keeping secrets."
Zhou Xi naturally believed her, and said happily: "Hearing this news, Eldest Sister is as happy as working in the field under the sun for three hours, then drinking a bowl of ice well water, and blowing a blowing mountain wind." .”
Man Bao: "It's like eating ice cubes."
Zhou Xi was taken aback for a moment, then asked with a smile, "I've never eaten ice, have you?"
"I've eaten it," Man Bao said, "I ate it at Shanbao's house, the cheese made from ice, and the red bean candied flowers chiseled from ice are all delicious."
Zhou Xi didn't expect Yaomei to eat it. She subconsciously touched her belly first, and asked hesitantly, "Ice is cold, right? Eating something so cold won't hurt your stomach?"
You must know that Yaomei's stomach is very bad, although she has been raising her for many years...
Man Bao said disappointedly: "Aunt Zheng won't give you more food, just a small bowl every time."
It's really a small bowl, just a little in the small bowl, it's enough for the two of them to eat a few mouthfuls.
Because of the small amount, the two of them were very reluctant to eat, and each time they ate slowly, and because of the slowness, they had no problem eating.
Zhou Xi breathed a sigh of relief, and then became happy again, "Yes, I should be as happy as eating ice in such a day."
Zhou Xi Guining has been in Guining for almost two years, and a matchmaker would come to her from time to time, but she has no intention of going out at all.
Because the conditions for finding her were not good, it would be useless even if Qian's family had let out the news that her illness had been cured and her body had recovered.
Old Zhou Tou was in a hurry to marry off his eldest daughter, but she had been back for almost two years, and he had already gotten used to his daughter being at home. Seeing that she was not in a hurry, he was not so anxious.
The main reason is that the people the matchmaker is looking for are too bad, even him, let alone Qian and her daughter.
If the Zhou family didn't build a house next door, old Zhou must be in a hurry, because he must be upset because the whole family is crowded together and the house is not going well.
But now, each son and daughter are assigned a room, and even the grandchildren have a separate collective room, and even the next few in the family can live there. Of course, he has nothing to worry about.
It is still possible to add Zhou Xi's labor force.
Whatever Xiaoqian and others at home did, she would do.
When the farming is busy, I go to the fields with my family, and when the farming is slack, I can take care of the vegetable garden and family affairs. In autumn, I still have my own piece of ginger land for income.
It was Jiang's income last year that made Zhou Tou more tolerant towards her.
If Zhou Xi can have such an income every year, except for the ones handed over to the public, she keeps the rest herself, and stays at home for food and lodging, then she can save a lot of money.
And what happens after the money has been accumulated for ten or twenty years
The eldest daughter yells all day long that she does not want to marry, and the old wife persuades him to consider her daughter's feelings all day long. The twisted melon is not sweet, and the little girl says that if the eldest sister is unhappy and it is not good to marry, I think about it, The desire to marry off the eldest daughter also faded.
The eldest daughter, Gui Ning, and the fourth child can be said to be such a good daughter-in-law as the Fang family, and the fifth and sixth child are no problem.
Therefore, the eldest daughter Gui Ning has little influence on the marriage of the children in the family. If this is the case, don't marry if you don't marry.
When they are a little older, they will find a way to set up a female household for her, or just rely on her brothers to live.
The room she lives in now is allocated to her, and the six brothers of the Zhou family will be separated in the future, and no one can drive her out.
As for the issue of taking care of him when he gets old, Lao Zhou has also thought about it clearly. If the girl can keep selling ginger and saving it for 20 or 30 years, when the time comes, she will hold the money and say it directly. Whoever serves her will be fine. Who pays.
He didn't believe it, Zhou Jin had so many grandchildren, how could he not be moved by then
How long can a man live before he needs someone to serve him? One year, or three years
Five years at most.
Five years of filial piety with twenty years of money is enough.
Of course, these thoughts of old Zhou Tou are naturally more than just thinking about it. He talked with Qian Shi, and then asked Qian Shi to pass it on to Zhou Xi, so that she can save some money in normal times.
Like clothes, beads, etc., don’t buy things that are not necessary, and don’t always buy this or that for your family. Be tighter to your brothers. Anyone who borrows money from her must go through them first. If you have them In the future, her brothers dare not pay back the money...
What meat, snacks, etc., buy as little as possible, save the money, and it will be her livelihood in the future.
Mrs. Qian had said these words to Zhou Xi in the spring.
But Zhou Xi was not very happy, because she felt that her parents did not feel relieved, and her current life was good, but no one had confidence in her future.
Zhou Xi felt uncomfortable.
There is not only confusion about the future, but also guilt towards the parents.
She is so old, and she still makes them worry.
So there are some things that she can't tell her parents, let alone her sister-in-law and younger siblings, let alone a group of brothers.
So she can only tell Man Bao, who made the old Zhou family only have two daughters
When she heard that Liu Dalang was given a cuckold and raised a son for someone else, she was so happy, and felt that all the gloom disappeared.
Speaking of joy, Zhou Xi hugged Man Bao and burst out laughing.
Feng Shi had just finished bathing the remaining children, and when she heard the laughter, she turned her head and glanced at Zhou Xi's room, and looked at Zhou Zhou Lang curiously, "What's the matter, big sister, why are you so happy?"
