After dinner, it was Zhao's turn to wash the dishes today. Ever since Dong came into the family, Zhao and Dong took turns washing the dishes, Xue Han helped wash the vegetables, and Li was only responsible for cooking.
If it weren't for Dong, Li, Zhao and Xuehan, they would have been working together all the time. Now that Dong is added, Zhulan had better make arrangements to avoid conflicts that accumulate into large ones.
Sometimes Zhulan would go to the kitchen to help, usually by lighting the fire or washing vegetables.
On the way back, Zhou Shuren told Rongchuan and Mingyun everything he needed to tell them. The two of them went to the academy together again. There was nothing to worry about. After dinner, Zhou Shuren went back to the house and waited for Zhulan to come back and said, "Find the deed for the shop. I'll go and deal with the shop tomorrow."
Zhulan put on her slippers and got on the kang. She took out a box from the cabinet, found two deeds and handed them to Zhou Shuren, "They are all here."
Zhou Shuren folded it and put it away. "I went to the shop this afternoon and found out that we want to sell it. The tenant wants to buy it. We don't need to ask the broker to help us. We can just transfer the ownership of the shop tomorrow after we sell it."
Zhulan asked, "I thought you stayed in the academy for a day!"
Zhou Shuren laughed, "I took Rongchuan and Mingyun to lunch at noon, sent them back to the academy, and then I left. I will pick them up after school."
"You couldn't have just gone to the store, let me guess what you did."
"Okay, guess."
Zhulan thought for a while and said, "You're not really going to pick up a bargain, are you?"
Zhou Shuren lay down and sighed, "My wife is really smart. She has something to do with antiques, but she is not picking up bargains."
Zhulan smiled and said, "You didn't just go to look at antiques, did you?"
Zhou Shuren raised his head and rested it on Zhulan's legs. "I really just went to look at antiques. I just knew that there was a competition in Pingzhou to identify antiques, so I went to take a look today."
Zhulan frowned, "Who told you that?"
Zhou Shuren, "The owner who rented our shop told me that there was an antique appraisal competition this afternoon. I was curious, so he took me to watch it."
Zhulan was used to being cautious, "It's a trap that won't work!"
She has not forgotten the reborn Wang Ru. With such a big change in their family, I don't believe Wang Ru will not investigate. Wang Ru has been in Pingzhou for a long time, and I don't know if she can get rid of her predicament. It's a pity that it's not easy to hear news about Wang Ru.
Zhou Shuren stroked his chin and said, "I don't care if it's a scam or not, it's definitely an opportunity to make some money."
Zhu Lan looked at Zhou Shuren's determined eyes. Well, this guy must have been thinking about it for the whole afternoon, and he has already thought of a perfect strategy. She said faintly, "If you want to borrow strength, this time you really have to borrow it from Brother-in-law Dong."
Zhou Shuren laughed softly, and gradually laughed loudly, "The one who understands me best is my wife."
This is what it means to be in perfect harmony with each other. He and Zhulan have the most compatible hearts. It is rare to find someone with the same thoughts as you in life. Unexpectedly, he found them through time travel.
Zhu Lan covered Zhou Shuren's mouth and said, "Please keep your voice down. We are all in the same yard. You laughed so loudly just now, everyone should have heard it. I will not be able to behave like a human being tomorrow."
Zhou Shuren signaled that he had stopped laughing and could put his hands down. He coughed and said, "They are just excited and happy for a moment. Don't worry, they won't dare to show it."
There are a few guys in this town today, and they definitely won’t dare to say a word!
Zhulan was grinding her teeth, and her son did not dare to show it, but she was a mother-in-law. People who didn’t know would think something was wrong with her parents-in-law that they had to face their daughter-in-law!
In the first room, Zhou Laoda and Li heard Dad's laughter. Li asked, "Dad, what are you laughing at?"
Zhou Laoda thought, Dad must have said something mean to Mom again, and he was happy, so he couldn't say anything, "I don't know."
Li counted the copper coins on the kang and muttered, "I am stupid to ask you. We are both the same. Let's not guess."
Boss Zhou: “… … ..”
Sometimes, a wife's words are more hurtful than a father's!
Second room, Zhou Laoer and his wife are the kind of people who think a lot. They think a lot. Zhou Laoer thought, "What's so happy about it?"
Zhao also thought so. Her father-in-law was such a serious man, but he was so happy. It must be a great thing. "Ask him tomorrow?"
Zhou Lao Er shook his head, "Dad, you don't know yet. He will say it when he wants to. If he doesn't want to say it, it's useless to ask."
Well, he wouldn't say that he didn't have the courage to ask. Instead, he could ask his eldest brother to do it. He needs to think about it.
Chang Lian and Dong slept in separate rooms and could not communicate with each other. Chang Lian figured that this was the first time his father showed his emotions outwardly, so something big must have happened. Who should he ask to say hello? Well, he still had to go and ask his eldest brother, since he was the boss!
Changzhi and Rongchuan were in the front yard and couldn't hear it clearly. Even if they heard it, they wouldn't think much about it.
Zhulan really didn't realize that her child was too smart and she was overthinking it.
For breakfast, there was red date millet porridge cooked by Li, and the staple food was steamed buns. In ancient times, people had two meals a day, and there was no such thing as lunch in the academy. However, there was a lunch break, and if you were hungry, you could bring some dry food. Families with better fortunes would bring cakes, and the sons of wealthy families would have someone specifically send them snacks for lunch break.
There is a stove in the academy in winter, but heating dry food is not allowed because it will make the place smelly.
Zhulan brought some pastries for the two boys going to school. The pastries were bought yesterday.
After breakfast, Zhou Shuren was going to send Rongchuan and Mingyun to school. They had to finish their studies today, and since the school had already started, there would be no entrance ceremony.
Zhou Laoer came up to his eldest brother and said, "Brother, look how much Dad values you and teaches you personally."
Boss Zhou, "... .....You want Dad to teach you personally, I can tell Dad, don't be envious."
Zhou Laoer was silent, "... ... ..."
No, he doesn't want his father's teachings. His father has become very smart. He would have been happy in the past, but now he would argue with him.
Boss Zhou snorted, thinking that he didn't know why Boss Zhou came. It was all caused by his father's laughter. He inexplicably felt that everyone was drunk but he was the only one sober. Unfortunately, he couldn't say it, and he didn't dare to say it. He felt lonely!
When Chang Lian saw that his second brother had lost, he felt deeply moved. The fools in his family became shrewd and looked at his eldest brother in condemnation, "Brother, you have lost your responsibility as a eldest brother!"
Boss Zhou, "... .....Oh, you found it a little late."
Whoever wants to be the eldest brother in this family can do so. He is not willing to be the eldest brother. These younger brothers are so annoying. They make him take the lead when there is something going on, but they don’t seem to care much for him when there is nothing going on. It makes me sad just thinking about it!
Chang Lian, “… … ..”
Changzhi couldn't help but burst out laughing. Seeing that his brothers were all looking at him, he said, "Don't mind me. I'm just here to watch the fun."
Chang Lian covered his heart. He was also a brother and he also had a troublesome younger brother.
Mingyun finished reading silently and turned his head to look at his younger brother who was smiling innocently. He said that his younger brother must be educated from an early age, otherwise it would be too late when he grows up.
Seeing Dong was dumbfounded, Zhulan said calmly, "You'll get used to it."
Well, she was worried for nothing. It was just her own fault that she was thinking this way! The kids at home were so complicated that they were guessing in other ways.
Dong, “… … ..”
Is this really the uncle she knew? The most honest uncle in her heart? And what about the compliments between brothers? Why did she see only the brothers digging holes for each other and wanted to step on them more!
Zhou Shuren took Rongchuan and Mingyun away, Zhulan also went back to the house, leaving only the four brothers in the yard staring blankly.
Zhou Shuren came back at noon. Zhulan waited until no one was around in the afternoon before asking Zhou Shuren, "Is the transfer completed?"
