In her previous life, her eldest brother died early, her second sister went blind due to illness, her third brother became autistic, and she herself lived a life of poverty and hardship, scavenging...
Jin Chao smiled and said to his cousin, "That room is nice. It's just the right size for our things. We'll stay there tonight. Just move the bedding over there and spread it out."
"But it's cold over there."
"It's okay! The house is small, so I don't feel cold. The gaps between the doors and windows are tight, so it doesn't let in drafts. It's much better than my previous house."
Zhou wanted to understand Brother Chao's thoughts. Newlyweds couldn't help themselves, but they were afraid of being too particular when living at home. "Okay! If you're not afraid of the cold, just live in the front yard!"
Ling Ran tapped her forehead and said, "Silly, how can it be cold when two people are sleeping together?"
Jin Chao walked away shyly. Ling Ran was being too blunt.
Zhou Xiang covered his forehead and said, "I find that you are getting bolder and bolder."
Ling Ran lowered his head and put his big head in front of his wife's face, "Bounce back."
Zhou Xiang pushed the big head away and said, "Go away, you're annoying. Go wipe the table and set the table."
"Yes, my dear wife."
There is strength in numbers, and with the wood stove outside, we had dinner at around seven o'clock.
Not counting the two confinement nannies upstairs and Aunt Wang and Mother Zhou who were looking after them, there were a total of 30 people at this dinner, including adults and children.
Of course Wu Haotian was also pulled down. Zhong Xiong went upstairs to pull him. Wu Haotian didn't want to scare his daughter while pulling, so he had to let Zhong Xiong pull him downstairs. He was still worried and told Zhong Lan,
"Zhonglan, Aunt Jiang will be here soon, don't worry."
Zhong Lan didn't say a word. She didn't dare to speak. She was afraid that if she spoke, it would reveal that she had softened. The boss and Miss Zhou had only been away for a few days, and she had already been conquered. The boss would fire her.
Zhong Xiong mocked Wu Haotian, "Haozi, you've come to this day? If we knew Zhonglan was your sister-in-law, we would never have persuaded you to come back for the New Year. It's all the boss's fault. He insisted on asking you to come back for the New Year. He's so insidious. I wonder if Zhou will punish the boss after he finds out."
Wu Haotian quickly begged for mercy, "Brother Xiong, can I call you brother? Don't tell my aunt, she has already warned Zhong Lan with Ling Ran, I'm almost at my wit's end, please let me go."
"I can let you and the boss go! Tonight, you must drink a few drinks with the boss."
"Okay, okay, I'll do as you say."
The voice was getting farther and farther away, but Zhong Lan couldn't help laughing. It turned out that this was Mr. Wu's true appearance. So cute!
Moreover, the six brothers get along very interestingly, and are closer than real brothers.
There were 30 people, and two round tables could accommodate them. Those who were drinking went to the east table, and those who were eating with bowls sat at the west table.
Mother Zhou went upstairs carrying two bowls of soup and food for herself and Mrs. Wang.
Xia Fei and Tian Cheng knew the horror of drinking in Xu Town, and Zhong Xiong and his men's record in Shuang Town was even more terrifying. They obediently took their bowls and ate at the table with women and children.
No matter how Zhong Xiong and the others provoked or urged them, even if they said that the table was full of women and children, they both admitted, pinching their throats and saying, "We are children. We are hungry and need to eat."
Zhong Xiong was disgusted and let go of the two of them, "Go eat, go eat!"
Rubbing the goose bumps on his arms, Zhong Xiong returned to the table.
Xia Fei and Tian Cheng ignored the children's laughter and ate seriously.
Zhou wanted to knock on Ma Baokun's bowl and said, "Hey! If you keep making fun of others, there will be no more food."
Ma Baokun came back to his senses and quickly put some food into his own bowl. The food at his aunt's house was the best, and he wouldn't be full if he didn't grab some.
In the end, even the soup from the stir-fried vegetables on this table was soaked with rice.
Ling Ran, Lu Zhaochong, Zhou Niao, and Zhou Hua were all sitting at the drinking table; they weren't afraid of being urged to drink! Lu Zhaochong needed to protect Zhou Niao. In everyone's eyes, Zhou Niao was still the same person, so they definitely wouldn't urge him to drink. Zhou Hua was still a student, and drinking damaged his memory. Ling Ran's excuse was always the most powerful: he hated the smell of alcohol and cigarettes.
Since the truck driver had to drive back the next day, no one tried to persuade him to drink and let him do as he pleased.
The five people were eating at the table where they were drinking. Ling Ran even picked out the fish bones and brought them to his wife.
Ma Baokun laughed at his aunt for not being able to remove fish bones at such a big age. Zhou Xiang replied without shame, "I was born without the ability."
"So, Uncle Ling was born with this ability?"
Zhou Xiang nodded seriously, "Yeah! You're right. Ever since he removed fish bones for me, I've never had a fish bone stuck in my throat."
Jiankangkang lowered her head, thinking that her aunt was fooling people again. She knew how to remove fish bones. When her uncle-in-law was not at Zhou's house, grandpa cooked braised fish fillets, and she never ate less, and she ate faster than anyone else.
The woman cleared the table, and Zhou Xiang made some fruit tea from the kitchen, which he sipped slowly with Tang Mei and the others.
The children went back to playing, and the four people who had finished their meal at the table joined them.
Everyone sipped tea while watching Wu Haotian toast Zhu Hang with wine. Although they didn't know what play was being performed, it was always nice to have something fun to watch.
Zhu Hang never refuses anyone who comes to him. Since Haozi toasts him with wine, there must be a reason.
After drinking ten cups in a row, Zhu Hang paused and said, "There has to be a reason, right?"
Wu Haotian shook his head, "I can't say."
Zhong Xiong laughed out loud. It was so cool to finally see these two biggest figures fighting among themselves.
Zhu Hang looked at Zhong Xiong who was laughing so hard that he forgot himself. "Haotian and I are going to take a break first. Come, brother Xiong, I want to toast you."
The onlookers at the table all spit out their tea. "Bear brother? What's that name?"
Zhong Xiong was also stunned. The name "Brother Xiong" had not appeared for twenty years. If it appeared today, it would definitely be an ominous sign.
Ma Zhao covered his mouth and laughed secretly, mocking the boss. How could he laugh so openly?
Chen Ou coughed to suppress the smile on his lips. Wang Qiao picked up the empty bowl, pretended to drink the soup, then pretended to choke, turned around and pretended to cough and laugh.
