Chapter 315 316: Your Uncle

Yang Chunyan whispered, "Even if it's the same as in my dream, He Jianjun's cheating didn't happen until a few years later. He's living a good life now, how are you going to convince Sister Yumei to leave the He family?"

"What should I do then?" The more Zhou Huaian thought about it, the more headache he felt.

Yang Chunyan also felt a headache. "I think the most important thing right now is to not let Sister Yumei get pregnant with a second child so soon. Going out to have a baby would ruin her health."

"You're right, we can't let her have a second child so soon. My sister is not a baby-making machine in his family!"

"You two have been standing at the door for a long time, why don't you come in?" Zhou's mother stood on the steps holding a basin and looked at the two of them.

“Here I come.”

The two entered the yard, and Zhou Huaian took out the receipt for paying the public grain and handed it to her, "Thanks to Secretary Xu's help today, I was rated as a first-class grain."

"Really?" Zhou's mother happily took it and took a look at it. "Just hand it in, so you don't have to worry about it."

"My eldest brother and I bought some meat and pig's trotters and went to my sister's house. They will come early tomorrow morning."

Mother Zhou frowned, "Why is Yumei here when she is already pregnant? You should have stopped her."

"Ah! My brother and I asked her to come earlier!"

Mother Zhou thought for a moment and said, "Forget it. Her mother-in-law will stop her."

Zhou Huaian thought about it for a while but still held back and said, "Do you think the day for the beam raising will be good?"

"I wanted to leave some extra time, so I chose the ninth day of the first lunar month."

"Yes." Zhou Huaian suddenly remembered that he still had to go to the river dam to collect sand. "I'm leaving now. The construction site is still waiting for me to collect sand!"

"Hurry up, we have to cook too."

"I understand." Zhou Huaian glanced at Yang Chunyan, turned around, went out, pushed his bicycle towards the dam.

When I passed by Zhou Yiding's house, I saw the gate was open. I looked in and saw him sitting with his legs crossed and eating a banana.

He turned into the yard and said, "I thought you would come back after lunch!"

"I'm going to send my little sister up the mountain this afternoon." Zhou Yiding pointed at the bananas and said, "These are from my mother-in-law's family. They taste pretty good."

Zhou Huaian parked his bike and walked over to break off a stick of wheat. "How's the news about the millet going?"

"My future father-in-law said that his eldest brother's family is going to sell millet. There are 1,500 catties, and the price is 10 cents per catty. How much do you want?"

Zhou Huaian thought about the remaining millet at home. When the time came to divide the family property, he could only get 300 to 400 kilograms at most, based on the number of people.

One pound of millet produces more than 600 to 700 pounds of rice. If two people eat two pounds of rice a day, that would be more than 700 pounds a year.

“Buy them all.”

"Hey~" Zhou Yiding turned around and looked at him, "Are you really going to eat white rice every meal?"

"Damn it, if I have to work so hard and still eat whole grain rice, sweet potatoes, and sorghum every day, then what's the point of me being so miserable!"

"That's right! Let's work harder and climb more hills. If we find more beehives, we'll have enough food for the year."

"I would have forgotten about the beehives if you hadn't mentioned them. I asked the carpenter to make the beehives. They're already ready. Take two with you when you go up the mountain."

"You still want to take two first?" Zhou Yiding looked at him with a headache, "How many did you kill?"

Zhou Huaian raised his hands and said, "Five, two are new, and three are old beehives that Uncle Datian asked the brigade to retire. I asked a carpenter to repair them and they are almost as good as new ones."

"Okay!" Zhou Yiding nodded with a bitter face, "You already brought three, it seems unreasonable for me not to bring any one."

"That's right." Zhou Huaian thought about it and reminded, "We'll leave the food at your house when we bring it back, and we'll bring it back home when we move in. Don't let it slip, or I'll beat me to death if I find out."

"Don't you know what I mean? When are you going to poop?"

"I'm going to my mother-in-law's house to give her gifts during the Mid-Autumn Festival." Zhou Huaian thought for a moment, "How about you drive the tractor and help me pull the grain back when you go to give her gifts?"

"I'll go to Xuejiao's house tomorrow morning and bring you back after lunch."

"Hmm!" Zhou Huaian suddenly remembered something, "How's that bastard Erchun's blind date going?"

“Hahahaha…” Zhou Yiding slapped his thigh and laughed so hard that he couldn’t breathe before he could finish his words.

"Pa~" Zhou Huaian slapped him, "What are you laughing at? Hurry up and tell me!"

"Old man, I'm telling you, Erchun's partner is the youngest daughter of my sister-in-law's uncle from the next room. When my sister-in-law's young lady marries here, you'll have to call Erchun uncle when you see him in the future."

"Fuck! This bastard is taking advantage of me secretly. I'm going to find him! We have to call each other by our own names from now on."

"Why panic! I just fell in love with you. We still need to get to know each other for a while. It's not certain whether it will work out or not!"

"You damn crow is trying to take advantage of me. If I go to my grandfather's house in Yangjiaping and ask him about it, I will..."

"Damn it!" Xu Erchun walked in carrying a bunch of pumpkins. "No wonder my eyelids are twitching. It turns out you are the one causing trouble."

"Okay! I'm going to find you again!" Zhou Huaian clamped his neck, "Let's make it clear first, we'll talk about our seniority from now on, otherwise I'll publicize your embarrassing story in Yangjiaping."

Xu Erchun pushed him aside and said, "Who told you not to introduce your sister-in-law to me? Now I am your uncle, hehe..."

His smug expression made people wonder if this guy had a tail on his butt, he would have started wagging it a long time ago.

Zhou Yiding also joined in the fun, "Oh! I'm at a loss. If I had known earlier, I would have gone to Yangjiapingzi to find someone and have him serve us obediently in the future."

"Put your pillow higher tonight." Zhou Huaian took a soil melon, peeled it, and looked at the two of them with squinted eyes, then took a big bite and chewed it hard.

"I'm so scared! You're the only one who can bite!" Zhou Yiding and Xu Erchun also took a pumpkin, peeled it and started to bite it sideways.

Zhou Xiaomei came out with her backpack and looked at the three people and shook her head, "It's more than sixty years in total. How childish!"

The three pointed at each other and said, "He is childish!"

Zhou Xiaomei felt that it was unbearable to watch, "Hurry up and take me up the mountain, otherwise it will be dark before I get there, how are you going to get down the mountain?"

Zhou Yiding nodded, "Got it, remember to bring the mooncakes."

Zhou Xiaomei pointed at the back of her jacket and said, "Bring it on."

Zhou Huaian embraced Xu Erchun, "Ding Dingmao, you and my little sister go up the mountain. Erchun and I will leave first."

"Yes!" Zhou Yiding went into the house to prepare things.

Zhou Huaian and Xu Erchun came out, "Are you really attracted to me?"

Xu Erchun nodded and said, "I like you. When you go to Yangjiaping, remember to say a good word for me."

"You can say nice things." Zhou Huaian pointed at him, "After you get married, you have to discuss your own seniority."

"Yes, yes. If it works, I can even call you uncle."

"Bah! You are such a traitor."

"You all have found a place to stay, but I'm still single. I'm so worried that I can't sleep at night."

"Just hold it in. Hold it in." Zhou Huaian waved at him with a wicked smile, got on his bike and walked towards the river.

As soon as he reached the downhill road, he saw Xiong Lao San walking up with his head down. He braked to a stop, sat on the bench, crossed his arms and looked at him.

"A good dog doesn't stand in the way..."

"Tell your grandfather again!"

When Xiong Laosan looked up and saw it was him, he bowed and said as if he had seen a creditor, "I didn't see it was you. I'm leaving, I'm leaving..." Then he turned around and ran away.
