He put down the things in his hands only after the whole family entered the yard.
Mrs. Zhou had already brought a basin of water over and said with a smile, "You can take a rest first, then wipe your sweat with a towel to cool down. I put Mingyue's mung bean soup in the well to cool it down. I'll bring it up later and give each of you a bowl. I guarantee you'll feel better after drinking it."
"Yes, I am now relying on Mingyue's mung bean soup to survive, but it's a pity that mom doesn't let me drink more." Zhou Ersao said with a smile while fanning herself with a fan.
Her bulging belly was so big that it was a little scary. These days were the hardest for her. Many parts of her body were swollen, and she had rashes from covering her body from the heat. She was in pain and happy at the same time.
But as long as she thought about the two babies in her belly, Zhou Ersao felt full of strength and felt that all problems could be overcome.
Liu Hui was not annoyed after hearing this, and explained openly: "This mung bean soup is cold in nature, and you two shouldn't drink it. It was Mingyue who guaranteed it for you, so I allowed you to drink one or two bowls. You should be content!"
Mrs. Zhou and Mrs. Zhou looked at each other and cast grateful eyes towards Mingyue, which made Mingyue couldn't help but laugh.
Although Zhou Laosan and Zhou Laosi had heard from Zhou Ma on the phone that the eldest and second sister-in-law were both pregnant, and the second sister-in-law was pregnant with twins.
But knowing it in their hearts is one thing, but when they saw the scene before them, it was still quite a shock to them.
But they were all happy for their eldest and second brothers. The family had been waiting for so many years, and finally the children were coming.
Moreover, the third brother immediately noticed the fresh thatched roof in the yard and said with a smile, "Isn't this the roof that was recently repaired? It looks quite fresh."
After hearing this, Liu Hui remembered to tell them about the accommodation at night: "You really guessed it right. This hat will be very useful. At night, the third child and your wife Baoer will stay in the room where your father and I live. The fourth child and your father will sleep on the floor downstairs. I will stay with Mingyue."
The two brothers had no objection. When they came back, they realized that there would definitely not be enough space at home. The fourth brother even thought about asking for a place to stay with the villagers!
But at this moment, of course it is more comfortable to sleep at home, even if it is sleeping in the open air at home, it is better than sleeping in a big bed at someone else's house.
At this time, Zhou Laosi had a silly smile on his face and suddenly said, "By the way, Mom, weren't you curious about what's in my box? Open it and take a look now."
Liu Hui glanced at him. This kid has been innocent since he was young. His thoughts were all written on his face. She could tell at a glance that there was a big item inside. The box was long and big, and the things inside were very obvious.
What else could it be besides an electric fan? She had seen it at the captain's house. It was indeed a rare item.
But Liu Hui was also happy to pretend to be confused. After all, this was also the child's wish.
"Okay, I'll open it and see." Liu Hui agreed, went into the house, got a sickle and started opening the box.
As soon as the box is opened, the large fan inside is exposed. The fan is made of iron and feels very heavy in the hand. The fan has four blades and is painted. The fan has four gears, and the wind speed can be adjusted at will.
Mrs. Zhou opened her mouth wide: "Is this an electric fan? The kind of electric fan that the captain has?"
Zhou Ersao also regained some energy. She moved closer to touch the fan and muttered quietly, "It feels like it cuts when I touch it!"
When Mingyue saw the shape of the box, she guessed that there should be an electric fan inside. Now that her guess has come true, she is neither surprised nor happy. Mingyue suggested with a smile: "Let's plug it in and try it out. It's getting hot now. Let's see if this rare thing is worth it for Fourth Brother to bring it back from far away."
Zhou Laosi immediately agreed, went upstairs, picked up the fan and walked into the house, and the whole family also moved to the main room.
After Zhou Laosi plugged in the fan, the four blades of the fan began to rotate faster and faster, and gusts of wind came out from it. It was only because the weather was too hot that the wind that came out was warm, but it was enough to surprise the family.
Mrs. Zhou felt the wind blowing past her and squinted her eyes in comfort: "There is really wind. This fan works really well. There is no need for me to fan it."
Zhou Ersao also nodded in agreement: "That's right, the weather is too hot today, and I have to fan myself. But if I keep fanning myself, my hands won't bear it. It would be great if I had this fan, so I don't have to waste my energy."
Only Liu Hui was happy for a while, then she secretly called the fourth child aside and asked about the price of the electric fan.
Unexpectedly, Zhou Laosi's face suddenly turned red. The tall man suddenly became shy. He said a little embarrassedly: "I didn't ask for money, it's just that people insisted on giving it to me."
No one knows a child better than his mother. When Liu Hui saw the fourth child's expression, she knew something was wrong and she became a little excited.
She squeezed her palms hard to hold back her laughter, and said in a serious tone, "Tell me, what's the situation with that girl? When did it happen to you? When are you going to bring her back to me and your dad?"
Zhou Laosi almost jumped up, his eyes darting left and right but he didn't dare to look at his mother, and he said, "What, what girl? I don't know."
Liu Hui couldn't help but glare at him, a little unhappy: "Why are you pretending in front of me? You have been stuttering when you lie since you were a child, can you pretend?"
Zhou Laosi hung his head in frustration, his hands twisted into a knot.
Before Liu Hui could say anything, Mingyue, who had overheard what was going on in the room, opened the door and shrugged at her fourth brother, whose face suddenly changed. "Fourth brother, I really didn't mean to eavesdrop. Who told you to talk with mom right outside my door?"
Liu Hui was embarrassed for only a moment, then she immediately pulled Lao Si and Ming Yue into the house and closed the door behind her: "Alright, your little sister heard it, and she's not an outsider anyway. Tell me, what's going on?"
Mingyue also looked at Zhou Laosi curiously. In the original owner's memory, apart from the death of Zhou Ersao, there was no future for other members of the Zhou family, because at that time she had been excluded from the Zhou family and was no longer qualified to pay attention to the Zhou family. She was also embarrassed to pay attention to it, so Mingyue really didn't know about Zhou Laosi's love affairs.
Moreover, although Zhou Laosi is tall and strong and looks like a proper young man, he exudes a naive air as soon as he opens his mouth. Mingyue feels that it is very rare for a girl to like this type of girl. Most girls would like Zhou Laosan who is good at speaking.
Zhou Laosi hesitated for a while, but finally spoke: "Mom, little sister, I'm just going to tell you something, don't take it to heart, I actually feel that I'm not worthy of her."
As he spoke, he revealed the girl's identity.
