Chapter 489: Visiting the Back Mountain



On Wednesday, seeing her daughter eating so happily, my aunt became very envious and couldn't help but take a strawberry as well.

Who knew I would fall in love with the taste after just one bite? The strawberry is so sweet and juicy.

She couldn't help but eat a few more. She was already full, and now a few strawberries and a few slices of watermelon went down her stomach. Soon her stomach was churning.

"Ugh~" On Wednesday, my aunt covered her mouth and retched.

Aunt Zhou Da and Aunt Zhou Er looked at Aunt Zhou San with a worried look on their faces: "Third sister-in-law, are you okay?"

Aunt Zhou's face was full of surprise: "Could it be that my third sister-in-law is pregnant?"

As soon as she said this, Aunt Tuesday went to check Aunt Wednesday's pulse.

Grandpa Zhou on the side said unhappily: "What kind of pregnancy? I think she just ate too much and got full."

As soon as these words were spoken, Uncle Zhou San's face instantly turned pale, and he couldn't help feeling disgusted when he looked at his wife's materialistic appearance.

Why did he marry such a woman in the first place? It's such a shame.

"It's not like you haven't eaten fruit before, why do you have to eat so much? Are you uncomfortable if it's not embarrassing and conspicuous?"

Aunt Zhou San widened her eyes and said, "I have eaten fruit, but I don't eat fruit very often.

You only earn 100 yuan a month, and I only earn more than 50 yuan. We have to support the children, and we also have to pay for our own food and drink. This money is not enough for us to spend.

I think our life is not as good as that of other country people!

Look at them, they have big fish and big meat, and there is endless fruit after the meal."

Zhou Zheyuan couldn't stand it anymore, and looked at his mother with disdain and said, "Mom, if you don't give less of our money to my grandmother's family.

We can also eat meat and fruit every meal."

When Aunt Zhou heard what her son said, she was immediately displeased: "Zheyuan, what you said is too disrespectful.

Is it true that when I get old, you won't spend the money you earn on me and your dad?"

Zhou Zheyuan felt that his mother was being unreasonable: "Mom, I didn't say that. When I grow up, I will naturally respect my parents, but it also depends on my ability.

Besides, I won’t be like you, always thinking about your parents. I haven’t seen you respect my father’s parents.

Why should I respect my grandparents, but not my grandparents?

If that's the case, when I get married, I will also respect my wife's parents every day.

Then I won’t have to worry about you and my dad anymore!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Grandpa Zhou and Grandma Zhou couldn't help but applaud for their grandson.

The old couple had enough food and drink, and they had two other sons, so they didn't need any filial piety from Aunt Zhou San.

But the third son's wife is so biased towards her parents' family that she has no eyes or ears. Even if her own children are hungry, she still has to use her money to support her parents' family.

I have never seen a daughter-in-law like this.

Zhou Zheyuan's words touched Zhou Ru's heart. Looking at Aunt Zhou Zhou, she couldn't help but complain, "Mom, are my brother and I not as close as your nephew from your mother's side?"

"What nonsense are you talking about, girl? How could you not be closer to them? It's mainly because your grandparents have had a hard time.

The old couple raised four children, me, your uncle, and your aunt, and never thought about having a happy life.

Your uncles and aunt's families are not well off, so who else can help them except me?

Zhou Zheyuan and Zhou Ru looked at their aunt Zhou San with complaints in their eyes.

However, the little grandson of Uncle Zhou and the little granddaughter of Uncle Zhou couldn't help but want to go out and play.

After lunch, Xu's mother took everyone out of the house and started walking towards their village.

While walking, he introduced the construction of the village.

Xujia Village has a lot of land, and in the past two years all of it has been turned into vegetable greenhouses.

"These transparent plastic films are filled with vegetables and some fruits." Mother Xu said as she led everyone into the greenhouse to observe.

The villagers working in the vegetable greenhouse smiled when they saw Xu's mother and greeted her, "Sister-in-law of the village head, this is your relative."

Mother Xu introduced with a smile: "These are the relatives of Huo Chen's mother."

"Hey, this is Huo Chen's relative from his mother's side. He looks like someone from a big city. Why did he come so late?"

When Grandpa Zhou and Grandma Zhou heard this, they touched their noses guiltily. They wanted to come earlier, but by then they would be unable to take care of themselves.

"Let's go to the back mountain and take a look. This is the breeding farm run by my daughter. There are fruit trees planted there and a pond where you can go fishing." Mother Xu said as she led the Zhou family towards the back mountain.

The mountain in Xujia Village was difficult to climb before. Since Xu Ying took over the contract, they started building steps on the mountain, making the way up much easier.

There are trees and some flower bushes on both sides of the mountain, but it is winter now and the flowers have not bloomed yet. The branches and leaves on the trees have all fallen off, and now it is bare.

On Wednesday, when my aunt heard Xu's mother talk about the farm, fruit trees and ponds, she curled her lips, thinking they were some insignificant small crops.

Who knew that the further we walked toward the back of the mountain, the larger the open space in front of us would be. Xu's mother smiled and said, "These trees are all fruit trees, and the open space next to the fruit trees is planted with flowers, but it's winter now and the flowers haven't grown yet.

You should wait until spring to come back here, the flowers will be so beautiful when they bloom.”

The fruit forest is not small, covering an entire acre of land. Passing through the forest is a huge restaurant. It adopts a retro-style architecture and it looks more atmospheric standing in the mountains.

There is a large fish pond on one side of the restaurant, and you can't see the other side of the river at a glance: "There are fish here, and there are also lotus flowers, but they are not blooming now."

Around one side of the fish pond, there are some green plants and fruit trees, as well as some pergolas of ancient buildings, where people can sit and enjoy the scenery.

"Where is this farm? I've been walking for half a day, but I still haven't seen it!" Aunt Zhou couldn't help but ask curiously.

Xu's mother smiled and said, "It's very close, just a detour away. If you want to see it, I'll take you there now.

Mainly, I want to take you further ahead to see the tea we grow here.

The open space in front is all planted with tea.

There is a grape rack at the back, with an acre of grapes planted there, as well as peaches and everything else.

Come in the fall and you will have endless fruit to eat!"

When Aunt Zhou listened to what Xu's mother said, her eyes were full of shock. How could this person be a country girl?

This is clearly the home of a big landlord.

"Is all this Xu Yinghua's money? Or did Huo Chen also contribute?" Aunt Zhou couldn't help but ask.

If Huo Chen paid for it, she would have to introduce her niece to this boy. By then, the academy, the pond, and the farm would all belong to her family . Zhou Ru was also full of envy.
