The next morning, Chang Lian and Chang Zhi put on their best clothes and dressed themselves up neatly. They looked so handsome that if they didn't tell me where they came from, one would think they were two young masters from a certain family. Zhu Lan looked at her two sons and sighed, "Fortunately, they look like me in most ways."
Zhou Shuren, “… .”
This body is indeed not very good-looking, and I feel a little depressed.
Li waited for her father-in-law to leave with his brothers-in-law, and she felt more and more strange. Her intuition told her that her father-in-law and his brothers-in-law going to see the county magistrate was definitely not simple. Seeing her mother-in-law go to the backyard, Li pulled the head of the family, "Why do I feel weird? Head of the family, do you have this feeling?"
Boss Zhou tugged at the clothes but failed to get them out of his wife's hands. He lowered his head and looked at his wife's fat fingers. He was silent. He felt that his wife's strength was getting stronger. "No, let go. I'll go get the car and go up the mountain in a while!"
Li said "oh" and let go of her hand, mumbling: "I am confused to ask you, you are not smart either, I'd better ask my sister-in-law!"
Boss Zhou, “… .”
This life is unbearable. Now even his wife despises him and glares at him. Obviously, his wife is the last in the family, okay? What right does she have to despise him!
Zhou Lao Er patted his eldest brother on the shoulder and said, "You have to live with the wife you choose even if you have to kneel down for the rest of your life."
Boss Zhou: "... Shut up."
What's the most annoying thing about his younger brother? When he got into trouble as a child, he was pushed to take the blame. When he got married, he was still pushed to be scolded. Now, I don't know what's wrong with the second brother, but his mouth has become more and more mean, stabbing him in the heart from time to time. Suddenly, he envied his son. Look how obedient Ming Teng is. If he could do it again, he would definitely use all the tricks he used on his son on his younger brother!
Boss Zhou was feeling uncomfortable. He harnessed the car and shouted angrily, "Li, come out quickly. It's time to go up the mountain."
Li and Zhao went out together. Li was a little dazed until they left the village in a bullock cart. Then Li came to her senses and said, "Master, my sister-in-law said that Dad actually brought Chang Lian and Chang Zhi to the county magistrate for a look."
Boss Zhou let out an "oh" and then reacted. He turned his head to look at his younger brother. Seeing his calm look, he felt like he was stabbed in the heart again. The couple were really the poorest in the family. Look at the look of the second brother. This guy had already seen through it.
Zhou Laoer bared his teeth and thought to himself that since he found it fun to tease his elder brother, he could not control himself, "Brother, calm down. It's not even close yet. Whether it will work depends on today."
Li turned her head to look at her brother and sister-in-law, covering her heart. Fortunately, the family did not split up, and fortunately everyone in the family was afraid of their parents. Otherwise, she and the head of the family would definitely be like what her mother-in-law said, being sold and counting money for others!
At the Zhou family, Zhulan is holding her little grandson. The little guy is almost eight months old. He has been well nourished since childhood and is growing well. Mrs. Zhao is also a good parent. Mingrui is very strong. He holds the little guy's hand, and the little guy is trying to stand on his own!
Zhulan was beaming. This child was very easy to take care of. He would cry when he was hungry, but he would laugh when he was teased. "What are you laughing at? Why are you so happy?"
Mingrui shouted, and then opened his mouth as if he was about to speak.
In modern times, Zhulan had little contact with her younger siblings, knew little about children, and did not know how to raise them. In ancient times, Zhulan never thought that she would be so patient in raising a child, not annoyed at all, and teased Mingrui to talk, "Call grandma, grandma."
Zhulan has heard of the saying "A noble person speaks slowly". She has watched Mingrui grow up little by little, and she feels that the saying "A noble person speaks slowly" is a bit inaccurate. Children need guidance in their growth. Zhulan's family has many children and adults, and they are always teasing and talking. Children's growth is a process of imitation. Mingrui is not very big, but he seems to be about to speak from time to time.
As for why the noble master speaks slowly, it may be because of the wet nurse and maid. Who dares to tease the young master to speak? Without anyone to tease him, he will speak late. The child has no one to imitate, so he will naturally speak later.
Outside the gate, "In-laws, are you home?"
Zhulan picked up Mingrui and went out to see Jiang Sheng's mother, who was very surprised and asked, "When did the in-laws come?"
Jiang Wang was carrying a basket. "I just arrived this morning and came to see my in-laws. Oh, this is your little grandson. This child is really well raised."
My own children have never been fat. The comparison makes me more envious. The Zhou family is so well off. Look at my in-laws, they are dressed like the ladies in the county. Then look at myself, not only do I look bad, but I am also not well dressed, with inconspicuous patches on my clothes!
Zhulan held her grandson in one hand. She would not hit a smiling person. No matter how she tore Jiang Wangshi apart in the past, she was still concerned about the face of her eldest daughter and son-in-law. She smiled and said, "Come in, my dear relatives. It's sunny today. It's cool inside."
Jiang Wang sighed carefully. She was a little afraid of her in-laws. She was really afraid that they would not give her face. If the old man hadn't urged her, she would have stayed at her son's house for a while. "There's nothing good at home. These are some pheasant eggs that the old man found in the mountains. I kept half for Xuemei and the two children, and gave the rest to you. Don't despise them."
Zhulan glanced at the dozen or so pheasant eggs, put Mingrui on the kang and sat there to play, then took the basket and said, "Look at what my in-laws said, pheasant eggs are hard to find. This is a good thing. Come and sit down, in-laws."
Then he said to Xue Han who stood up to greet him, "Go and get some snacks for Auntie."
After that, Zhulan poured Jiang Wangshi some cold tea. "My dear in-law, you traveled all morning and came to see me. You must not have had a good rest. Come and drink some tea."
