Chapter 298 Thoughts

Zhou Xiang was very satisfied. This little girl didn't like to open her mouth to call people. Except for her parents, anyone who wanted her to call people had to coax her for a long time, and whether she would call people or not depended on her mood.

Zhou wanted to open the food bag and put the contents into the kitchen.

The house is over 60 square meters, with a master bedroom of 15 square meters, a second bedroom of 13 square meters, a living room of 18 square meters, a bathroom of 6 square meters, a kitchen of 8 square meters, a small corridor between the entrance and the bathroom, plus the common area, so more than 60 square meters are all here. At that time, the building only had one living room.

The kitchen is long and narrow, with a row of marble-top stoves, which are kept clean and tidy.

I put my travel bag in the second bedroom and packed my grandmother's things when she came back.

Fold the cart and place it in the corner of the stairwell.

Long Chao looked at Zhou Xiang who worked quickly and efficiently and sighed. The little girl has been timid since she was young. When she was around, she was often left out of good things. With such a fast speed, he wondered what the situation would be like at home.

The door opened, and Old Lady Liu and Jiang Weifang came in. Jiang Weifang closed the door and urged Old Lady Liu to take off her coat, but she was unwilling to do so.

Zhou Xiang pulled her into the second bedroom and took her bag inside, "Change!"

Only then did Old Lady Liu begin to change her clothes. Looking at her patched and patched cotton-padded jacket, Zhou Xiang asked, "Where's the down jacket my mother made for you?"

"I brought it with me, but I didn't wear it. The coachman wore ragged clothes."

"Okay, you're right. Take off your cotton pants. It's over 20 degrees in the room. Dress like spring or autumn."

"I know, get out!"

Zhou thought of the second bedroom and said to his aunt, "I'll use the food I brought you as the kitchen. You decide where to put it."

"Your uncle-in-law just told me, and I packed it. You must be exhausted from the journey, carrying so many things, and your grandmother too."

"It's okay. My friend helped me get on the bus. I pulled the cart with my grandma, so it wasn't too tiring."

"That cart is pretty good. Where is it made?"

"Zhu Hang hired someone to do it. Zhu Hang is..."

Zhou Xiang then told his aunt some family matters, including Liu Shan and Lu Rong.

"So, don't worry, auntie! Don't go home for the New Year in the future. It's too tiring. The summer vacation is long, so you can go back with your uncle and bring your cousin back."

Jiang Weifang and Long Chao looked at each other and nodded, "Okay, now that your grandma has someone to take care of her, we can rest assured."

Only then did Old Lady Liu slowly move out. Zhou Xiang was relieved to see that she was indeed wearing spring and autumn clothes. He just hoped that she would not go against him.

After casually eating a bowl of boiled noodles at noon, Zhou Xiang and Old Lady Liu went back to the second bedroom to rest.

They slept until dark, and dinner was ready before Zhou Xiang and Old Lady Liu got up.

"Fourth sister is a lazy bum."

As soon as he walked out of the bedroom door, he received a compliment from his cousin. Zhou Xiang squatted in front of her with a smile, "Thank you Xinxin for the compliment!"

The chubby girl was stunned for a moment, then ran to the kitchen, "Dad, Fourth Sister is a fool."

Zhou Xiang squatted there and laughed, hoping that his cousin's innocence would last forever.

Long Chao brought out the dishes with a smile on his face, and a big fat pendant on his leg.

"Oh! Our baby has gained weight again."

"Dad is talking nonsense, Xinxin is not heavy."

Put the dishes on the dining table in the living room, "Mom, think about it, go wash your hands and get ready to eat."

The dinner was quite rich.

Beef stewed with potatoes, scrambled eggs with carrots, pork ribs stewed with winter melon, stir-fried green beans, and seaweed soup.

These are all more suitable for the elderly, and grandma brought the scrambled eggs to my cousin.

He went to sleep after lunch and ate as soon as he got up. Zhou Xiang didn't have much appetite and only ate half a bowl of rice and drank a bowl of soup.

"What's wrong? Is the food not to your liking?"

Seeing Zhou Xiang put down his bowl and chopsticks, Long Chao asked with concern.

"No, I haven't digested my lunch yet."

"Tell your aunt what you like to eat and ask her to make it for you."

"Thank you, uncle, these are good enough. I'm not picky about food."

After dinner, Zhou wanted to wash the dishes, but Long Chao stopped him, saying, "No, these are my jobs, don't take them away."

Jiang Weifang smiled and said, "Washing dishes, sweeping the floor and mopping the floor are your uncle's jobs, and the rest are mine. If you want to help, you can help your aunt cook."

Zhou Xiang put down his bowl and chopsticks, "Okay, I'll help with cooking tomorrow."

Zhou wanted to watch TV with his cousin - cartoons. I have to say that the animations at that time were really moving pictures, unlike the later ones that seemed like real people performing.

The little cousin was attracted by the cartoons, but Zhou Xiang was distracted. It was a waste of time to just stay like this. It was boring and he had to be cautious. It was too tiring.

Tomorrow is the 24th. After offering sacrifices to the Kitchen God, we will go for a walk in the capital.

Before going to bed at night, Zhou wanted to tell Old Lady Liu that he would go to the capital the day after tomorrow.

Old Lady Liu was slightly stunned. Wasn't she here for precautions? "What about your aunt?"

Zhou Xiang thought, I have already told Old Lady Liu about my dream, so I should tell her more! My aunt is here about this matter, and her subsequent transfer went smoothly.

"Be careful not to let your uncle get sick. If you go to the hospital for an IV drip, be sure to carefully check the medicine in the bottle."

Old Lady Liu was horrified. "Could it be? Could it be you, in your dream?"

"Yes, my aunt has been alone for decades."

"Okay, I understand."

Old Mrs. Liu couldn't sleep that night. She tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep. Although she didn't want her daughter to marry far away, she was already married, so of course she hoped that everything would go smoothly for her. She was the one who had the most say in how difficult life was for a young widow.

Long Chao's poor health and family problems were the main reasons why I opposed him at first. Later, when I went back often, I gradually accepted him, although I didn't say it.

But you shouldn't be so young...

Yes, think about it, the girl mentioned the hospital, so it’s the hospital’s problem?

What should I do? Long Chao is in poor health and often goes to the hospital. If I can avoid this time, will everything be fine?

Zhou Xiang squeezed into this small bed and didn't feel comfortable at all. When the family was poor before, he had never slept on such a small bed. But the old lady didn't want to sleep and kept flipping pancakes.

"Grandma! Can you sleep well?"

Old Lady Liu simply sat up and said, "I can't sleep!"

Zhou Xiang also sat up, "Why?"

Old Mrs. Liu wanted to laugh at this question. You dropped a bomb, but you feel good about it. Have you ever thought about other people's feelings?

"Do you think we can just avoid this one? He goes to the hospital all the time! Several times a year."

Zhou Xiang was slightly stunned. "Then what do you say we should do?"

"I don't know either. I can't just sit here and watch all year round!"

"Then tell your aunt! It's up to her whether she believes it or not. Just do your best and leave the rest to fate!"

Zhou wanted to give up, as they were all smart people. Even if they guessed something, they would not ask him in person.

"Aren't you afraid?"

"What are you afraid of? Am I not Zhou Xiang? Am I not your and her relative?"
