The Zhang family's trip went exceptionally smoothly. Dinner wasn't even ready when they got home, but their two sons who were studying had returned.
When Zhou Changlian saw that the big money was carried back again, he looked disgusted and asked, "Dad, why did you bring him back?"
Even though he knew that his sister was not injured, he did not want Daqian to stay at home. It cost money to recuperate, to eat and drink, and he could not work. Every penny Daqian spent at home would take up part of his resources.
Zhulan thought quietly that her third son still needed to be reformed as he was short-sighted. However, one couldn't expect a teenager to think too much. She could understand him thinking about herself.
Zhou Shuren was not angry. He signaled Zhou Laoda to carry the child back to the main room, then waved to his two sons who were studying and went to the youngest son's room to have a private chat.
As for the eldest and second sons, Zhou Shuren planned to chat with them after dinner. However, the topics they discussed were different. The two younger sons talked about studying, while the two older ones talked about family matters. They could not talk about the same thing.
About a quarter of an hour later, Zhou Laoer came back driving a ox cart and brought back the prepared Chinese medicine.
Zhou Laoer felt sorry for the cow, "It's exhausted today."
As he said this, he carefully touched the cow's belly, and there was a baby in the belly, which was all money.
Zhulan felt sorry for the ten taels of silver she had spent on it, "I'll give it two cobs of corn as a snack later."
Zhou Laoer: "Okay, mother."
Zhulan turned around and stopped walking again. In modern times, money was just a number to her, but in ancient times, money had to be spent carefully. She was getting more and more destitute. This was not acceptable. One had to be ambitious. She would cheer Zhou Shuren up more in the evening. Whether she could live a good life this year depended entirely on Zhou Shuren!
Thinking of this, Zhulan smiled to herself. She believed that she should always encourage each other in her daily life!
Dinner is ready. It’s Daqian, no, Zhang Rongchuan’s turn. Rongchuan first drank a bowl of millet porridge with shredded chicken, then drank some Chinese medicine and fell asleep.
Rongchuan is ten years old after all. No matter that Zhulan is a grandmother in ancient times, a ten-year-old child cannot be kept in the main house, even if the ten-year-old child looks as old as a seven-year-old.
Zhulan settled Rongchuan in the room where her eldest daughter Xuemei lived when she returned to her parents' home. The new kang that had been built a few days ago was no longer damp after being dried, and it became warm as soon as it was lit.
Fortunately, the Zhou family was well-off and had some extra bedding, and the original owner was a clean and diligent person, so when a good day came he took them out to dry them, and they looked almost as good as new.
Only after Rongchuan was settled did Zhulan and her family have dinner.
There is no custom in the countryside to not talk while eating or sleeping, so I talked about my trip to the south of the Yangtze River while eating.
The four sons of the Zhou family were dumbfounded. How come the old man had lived a stable life, but became so capricious after becoming a grandfather
Boss Zhou was worried about his father's health, as he had just fallen ill. "Dad has been traveling long distances with the escorts, I'm afraid his health can't stand it."
The second son rolled his eyes and thought he should go out to have a look. "Dad, I'm worried about you going alone. I can go with you and take care of you."
The third son Zhou Changlian gritted his teeth. He thought that Zhou Laoer had changed. He used to be very quiet, but now he spoke to the point. He was unhappy. "Dad, my second sister-in-law is going to give birth and she can't leave me. I will go with you. I can't just study hard. It's a good opportunity to go out and broaden my horizons."
Thumbs up for your wit!
The eldest son Zhou Changzhi looked left and right. Why did he feel that the family was lively and his scheming was rising sharply? He frowned. It had been a long time since he heard his parents praise him as the smartest. He felt that his position was not secure. His eyes turned straight, "Dad, the teacher said that the third brother is not focused and can never complete the dictation. It is not worth it to let the third brother concentrate on memorizing so as not to make mistakes in the exam. But going to Jiangnan is a rare opportunity. Dad, let me go with you. The teacher said that I have a good writing style. I will write an essay and bring it back to the third brother. It will also increase his knowledge."
Zhou Changlian, “… … .”
Thank you.
Zhulan, “… … ..”
Haha, except for the eldest brother who has normal IQ, the other three are as cunning as a hornet's nest. The dinner they ate tasted like the taste of palace intrigue.
Zhou Shuren's eyes sparkled. He had only taught for a few days and it had such an effect. Not bad, not bad. However, "The eldest brother will look after the house, the second brother will help to prevent being bullied by outsiders, and the third and fourth brothers will read and write a hundred times and recite a hundred times starting from tomorrow. I will inspect them when they come back. It's time to eat."
One hundred and twenty times is fine, he has tried it himself and it’s fatal, one hundred times will be enough.
Except for Big Brother Zhou who was hesitant to speak, the other three looked very upset. "Dad, you just came up and said that you have thought of the arrangements." This caused them to step on each other. The three brothers looked at each other and said that as an older brother, you should take care of your younger brothers.
Zhou Laoer smiled and said, "Dad, I will definitely make sure that the third and fourth children study, and I will not miss a single lesson."
Let you two betray your brother and hurt each other!
