After Zhou Hongyu finished arguing with Chen Lijuan in the morning, she went to Shuangdong Hutong to pick up her child in the afternoon. Granny Chang handed her a stack of documents.
What is this?
Zhou Hongyu opened the file, completely baffled, and was surprised to see a familiar address in the file.
Yan Town...
Looking again, she has become the owner.
Zhou Hongyu felt a burning sensation in her heart; this was a gift that would make her smile from ear to ear.
"Mom, where did this come from?"
"Xingwang had someone bring it back, saying he wanted to personally deliver it to you, but he probably doesn't know that you moved to Zhoujia Village with the child."
Zhou Hongyu held the document and kissed it several times, treating it as if what she said that morning was nonsense. It didn't cost her any money, so the land was hers!
Granny Chang's expression changed slightly upon seeing this. The second son had truly touched her heart; it had been a long time since she had seen her second son's wife show such an ecstatic expression.
Chang Meiying stood around, laughing incessantly: "Mom, do you like paper? I'll give you lots of this kind of paper in the future!"
Zhou Hongyu smiled and pinched her cheek: "Then you'd better work hard, I won't like useless paper!"
Chang Meiying: Ouch, ouch, ouch!
Grandma Chang hugged her granddaughter and touched her little face tenderly: "Xingwang said he's coming home tonight with a colleague. Why don't you take the child home to stay first? We'll entertain the guest for you."
Zhou Hongyu agreed: "Okay, Mom, it's settled then!"
This matter is best left to Granny Chang to handle; she's been busy all day and doesn't want to put in any more effort.
Zhou Hongyu kept Chang Meiying behind. She called the Ning family and told Chang Shuying to come to Shuangdong Hutong after class, and that Chang Xingwang would be home that evening.
Then she went back to Zhoujia Village to pick up Granny Zhou.
When he returned after finishing his work, the whole family was already there, and Granny Chang and Chang Pengfei had almost finished cooking.
Chang Huaying was also called back from school, but because she still had classes, she might not be able to catch up.
Chang Yaozu couldn't make it back in time. School had just started, and his entire school was moved to a remote mountain valley for military training, so they couldn't be contacted.
Because Chang Pengfei was working in the kitchen, Chen Zhaodi, who was only so-so at cooking, had to find some work outside.
When Zhou Hongyu and Granny Zhou entered the room, they could still hear Chen Zhaodi complaining.
"I had to go to some agricultural school, which cost me 800 yuan. I ended up studying a ridiculous sow care major. Now my family has a happy occasion, and I can't even come back!"
No matter how much I say, I still find it distasteful that Chang Yaozu went to an agricultural school that was extremely embarrassing, and he even chose to study the sow postpartum care major, which is something that makes everyone smile.
Chang Hongbing, who dotes on his son, retorted unhappily, "What do you mean by that? We've already spent the money and he's already studied. Why do you have to nag him all day long? It's not like Yaozu is the only one who can't come back. It just so happens that there's something going on at home today. What you're saying is too harsh!"
Chen Zhaodi yelled, "I only said a few words and you gave me a whole bunch of nonsense! And you even complained that I was being mean! I think you're just making trouble for me because you think my son isn't good enough and he won't be coming home tonight!"
“I’m not trying to harp on anyone, I’m just worried that Zhou Hongyu might hold a grudge. I’m also planning to find Yaozu’s second uncle after he graduates…”
"Cough cough cough!" Old Man Chang stood under the window and coughed violently.
Zhou Hongyu is back!
Chen Zhaodi was caught gossiping behind someone's back, and she was also secretly harboring ulterior motives. Her face turned red, and she wished she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
Granny Zhou chuckled: "So you're talking about your own son. I thought some careless person wanted to dump their son on my son-in-law. If that's true, I'll give her a good dressing down!"
This person was none other than Chen Zhaodi; Sima Zhao's intentions were obvious to everyone.
"You guys chat, I'm going to the kitchen to get the dishes!" Fearing she would be punished, Chen Zhaodi fled in terror.
"Mom, is Dad back yet?"
"elder sister!"
Chang Shuying's voice came from the doorway, and Chang Meiying, who was playing in the alley, abandoned her friends and ran home immediately.
Chang Shuying carried her through the door.
Zhou Hongyu walked over and took Chang Meiying's hand: "You rushed back before finishing your class? I thought everyone would have to wait for you to come back before we could eat!"
Chang Shuying: "Yes, Grandpa Ning has always admired Dad's profession. When he received Mom's call, he hurriedly finished his lecture and left early so that I could come back to see Dad as soon as possible. Grandpa Ning even sent someone to drive me to the entrance of the alley!"
"Wow! Big sister is riding in a toy car!" Chang Meiying was incredibly envious; she had now reached the age where she liked all kinds of toy cars.
Zhou Hongyu coughed a few times: "Meiying, Mom will work hard to earn money and buy you a car to drive around in this year!"
Granny Zhou raised her hand and slapped her without any politeness: "You don't earn much money in a year, yet you boast about buying a car. You're just showing off!"
A car is worth more than several houses in the village!
Zhou Hongyu didn't dare to argue back, and smiled, "Buying a second-hand one isn't that expensive."
Chang Meiying pouted: "Mom, let's not buy it, you're a bit poor!"
Zhou Hongyu immediately reached out her devilish hand and pinched her chubby little face.
Chang Meiying screamed, "Grandma, sister, help!"
The group laughed and joked around.
Granny Chang directed Old Man Chang to bring out the dishes, and upon seeing this scene, she couldn't help but laugh.
Granny Chang turned to Old Man Chang and said, "Old man, the second son will be very happy to see this when he comes back. We'll take good care of the house for him!"
Hearing her say that, Old Man Chang suddenly laughed out loud: "Which parent doesn't worry about their own child? Suffering a little hardship or fatigue is nothing. They just hope that their second son can make life better and better after he is transferred back this time!"
Granny Chang nodded.
Then I heard Chen Zhaodi in the kitchen complaining to Chang Pengfei about her useless son.
“Pengfei, you’re a head chef now! I think your older brother shouldn’t have studied sow postpartum care. He should have learned to cook from you so he could have a skill. Sow postpartum care—it just doesn’t sound right! Poor me, I wasted eight hundred yuan…”
The elderly couple shook their heads, saying that Hongbing's wife's personality was hard to describe.
Just like Hongbing said, the money has been spent, the books have been read, and she keeps muttering to herself, and we still don't know what she means.
Maybe it really doesn't mean anything?
The dishes were served when a car horn sounded at the door, indicating that Chang Xingwang and his colleague who was coming over for dinner had arrived.
The old leader specially arranged for his personal driver to bring the two of them back.
The driver got out of the car first and ran to the back seat to open the door for Chang Xingwang, followed by Xiao Zhuang getting out of the passenger seat.
Zhou Hongyu still recognized that honest and simple face. It was Xiao Zhuang, whom she had met once last year. However, Xiao Zhuang, who was full of energy last year, was missing an arm this year.
It's easy to imagine that Chang Xingwang's sudden transfer back to the capital might indicate that things aren't going well.
Zhou Hongyu's expression changed slightly, and the Chang family members were so frightened that their faces turned pale.
Chang Hongbing looked at Zhou Hongyu with concern. If his second brother's condition worsened, would Zhou Hongyu abandon the family and leave?
My second sister-in-law has a job, her side business is thriving, and she looks young...
