Zhou Xiang took Zhou Yizhou into the yard, which had already been cleaned up by his third brother.

"Brother Zhou." Zhou Hua called out when he saw the person coming.

"Hey!" Zhou Yizhou really didn't know how to talk to Zhou Hua. His previous appearance was still fresh in his memory.

Seeing his embarrassment, Zhou Hua chuckled, "Brother Zhou, thank you very much for your love and care for my sister. I'm fine now, don't worry about what you say."

"Hey! Good! Now that you've recovered, my burden is much lighter."

"Yes! I will try my best to help you in the future. Come in and sit down. I'll go boil some water."

Looking at Zhou Hua's back as he entered the pot room, Zhou Yizhou sighed, "Time really can change a person!"

Zhou Xiang walked into the main hall and said, "Brother Zhou, this doesn't sound suitable for you. You are not old enough to say this."

"Look at you, you say that with such an air of old-fashionedness, as if you could say that."

Of course, Zhou Xiang said in his heart.

"Why did you come here alone today?"

"Your sister-in-law is at work. Huh? This room is really warm. Did you build a fireplace?"

"Yeah!" Zhou Xiang nodded.

"Here, this is the same amount as last time."

Zhou Yizhou took out a passbook and handed it to Zhou Xiang. Zhou Xiang took it and put it in his pocket.

"You made this special trip just for this?"

"Yes, aren't your family going to build a new building? I'll send it to you quickly so you don't run out of money."

"Thank you, Brother Zhou!"

"Why are you being polite? You don't have to be polite. Well, if you really want to be polite, just give me some salted eggs."

Zhou Xiang and Zhou Hua, who brought in tea, couldn't help laughing.

Zhou wanted to take him to the storage room and pointed to the two jars on the ground. "It's only been pickled for a few days. Take one jar back and wait a month before eating it."

Zhou Yizhou happily squatted down and moved the jar, but, but, he couldn't get up!

Seeing that he was unable to exert any strength, Zhou Xiang stretched out his hands to lift the jar and said, "Come on, I'll carry it to the car for you."

"Wait, wait, let me move it, I'll move it. I can move it now that I'm standing up. It's not good for you, a girl, to use so much strength in front of others."

Zhou Xiang stopped and turned to look at him, "Can you really move it?"

Zhou Yizhou nodded, "Yes, yes."

Zhou Xiang put the jar in his arms and said, "Catch it."

"Okay!"

Zhou Yizhou held the jar with his belly and hugged it with both hands, in a very strange posture.

Zhou Xiang followed behind him, grinning secretly.

Mother Zhou glared at her little girl and shouted into the house, "Zhou Hua, come out and help."

“Hey!”

As soon as Zhou said this, he knew what his mother wanted him to do. He took the jar from Zhou Yizhou's belly and said, "Come, I'll move it."

After easily moving the jar and walking out of the yard, Zhou Yizhou sighed, "Little sister, why can't I lose weight?"

"A happy heart makes you fat! A happy heart makes you fat!"

Zhou wanted to find a word to comfort him, but what else could he do? Ask him to stop drinking and eating candy? He had no right to do that!

"My grandparents also say the same thing about me, but I also envy other people's figures. Look at me, my belly seems to have grown bigger after the Chinese New Year."

Zhou Xiang patted his belly and said, "Control your diet and move your legs. If you're not close, don't drive. Walk every day and exercise."

"Try it! It seems like owning a car does make you gain more weight."

Zhou Yizhou didn't want to stay for dinner and said he wanted to go back to be with his wife. Zhou wanted to see him out and only turned back after he drove away.

Gao Zhaolan quickly retracted her head. What should she do? She had chosen the Feng family's house first, and the Zhou family had given her a head start on the first day they moved in. The Zhou family had a son-in-law who was a gangster, and the Zhou family had a wealthy friend who drove a car.

The Zhou family, the Zhou family, this Zhou family is incompatible with me.

Shi Bolin also realized that his wife was a paper tiger. He had never met anyone stronger than her before, and now that he had met one, he was at a loss.

"Okay, stop messing around. You've been away from home all day. Look at what a mess the house is in. Go clean it up quickly."

"Why should I clean up? I cook and wash clothes every day, isn't that enough for me? You think you're so great just because you work a crappy job? Why don't you help with the housework?"

“That’s unreasonable!”

"You explained it to me clearly."

Zhou Xiang didn't care about the quarrel coming from next door. Shi Bolin was a male chauvinist and acted like a formal city worker all day long.

Gao Zhaolan was from a nearby rural area and worked as a temporary worker in the cardboard factory of Shibailin's unit. She had always wanted to become a regular employee but couldn't find a way. Later, the factory's performance was poor, so all the temporary workers were fired.

Neither of them could make it at the carton factory, and there was no way they could get a permanent job elsewhere. Besides, Gao Zhaolan was old, so which company would be willing to hire her? They could only stay home.

She was proud of having given birth to three sons, and she was full of confidence. She gradually began to become domineering, and the two of them quarreled every three days and had a fight every two days.

Later, when he had a daughter-in-law, there was someone to do the housework, but the two of them still quarreled frequently. Zhou thought, haha, it’s really nice to live here. She can watch plays every day and see what kind of eldest daughter-in-law she will marry in the future.

I sincerely pray to God to give her a capable, strong and fierce daughter-in-law.

On Monday noon, Xiao Chunmei followed Zhou Xiang home for dinner.

Seeing the spacious house and large yard, Xiao Chunmei exclaimed, "This house is so beautiful. These roses are so beautiful, they're still blooming in winter. Is that a pomegranate tree? Huh? Did the previous owner of this house also build a bathroom?"

Zhou Xiang patted her and said, "Are you stupid? My house is newly built."

"Hehe, I am completely mesmerized by these flowers."

"Pick one if you like it."

Xiao Chunmei waved her hands repeatedly, "No, they will wither quickly if you pick them. It would be much better if I come to see them every day."

"All right! Come inside."

"Good! Yeah? It's really warm in here."

"Well! Now that we have built a fire wall, we don't have to build a fire in the winter anymore."

"Wall of fire? What is that?"

"Third brother, you take this curious baby to see the stove and explain the principle of the fire wall. I will go to the pot room to help cook."

"Okay!" Zhou Hua was very willing to take this job. He knew the principle of the fire wall very well and he was the one who took care of the stove every day.

I now understand the principle of the septic tank, so next time I won’t have to wait for my sister.

Zhou's mother was cooking with a smile on her face in the kitchen. With the support and help of her little girl, Xiao Chunmei should not be able to escape.

There were only four of us having lunch at noon, and my eldest brother went to Teacher Mao's house to study.

The seat at the top was empty, so Zhou Hua pulled Xiao Chunmei to sit next to him. "Sit next to me, or else my sister will serve you some food and your bowl will be full again."

"Okay!" After hearing Zhou Hua's explanation of the firewall, Xiao Baitu felt a little admiration for him. Since Zhou Hua was his classmate's older brother, he sat next to him without any precautions.

Every time Zhou Hua picked up some food for her, she would respond with a smile. Zhou wanted to lower her head and eat. Xiao Baitu trusted herself too much and felt a little guilty. What should she do?

It doesn’t matter. I’ll compensate her more when she becomes my third sister-in-law.
