Mrs. Zhou: "Mom, I didn't do that because of you... You don't have to take it to heart..."

Zhou's mother turned a deaf ear to him and said, "I took care of you during your confinement and ate the little food you had. You think I'm old and rude. If I live with you, I don't know how you will torture me in the future. I dare not do that."

Zhou Zeguo: "Mom, she doesn't dare."

"What are you afraid of? You are not at home all day, and it is your wife who takes care of me. Can she take good care of me?"

"Mom! I can do it!" Mrs. Zhou promised.

Zhou's mother pouted, "You can? You can't do anything! Xiaoyu can make money, and then he can hire someone to take care of me comfortably. When you were pregnant with me, you complained that I was just sitting around and asked me to work in the fields to earn work points. Now that I'm old, do you think you like me? You're just bragging."

Finally, Zhou's mother looked at Zhou Zeguo and said, "I know that if I don't live with you, the team will stab you in the back, but Boss, I raised you and the second child to this age, I have to think about my own interests, right? Boss, can you understand your mother?"

Zhou Zeguo thought for a moment and said, "Mom, as long as you are comfortable, I don't care. They can say whatever they want, it's not them who are living the life."

"Big brother." Zhou's mother patted his shoulder. "I originally thought you were a fool, but I didn't expect you to be quite clear-headed. Don't worry, you and the second brother are brothers, and even if the bones are broken, the tendons are still connected. If your child has anything in the future, the second brother, as an uncle, will definitely help.

The premise is that the child has this ability. Otherwise, even if the uncle tries hard, it will be useless and the future will be like that. Do you understand?"

Zhou Zeguo looked at his two sons and one daughter, nodded and said, "Don't worry, mother. After you leave, I will continue to urge them to read more and study hard."

Mrs. Zhou listened to this and said unhappily, "It's OK for the two boys to study more, but the girl only needs to go to junior high school at most. Won't it be a bargain for her husband's family?"

Zhou's mother didn't want to pay attention to her daughter-in-law at first, but when she heard this, she spat at Zhou's wife's face: "You're talking nonsense! Xiaoyu is a girl, she still graduated from college, now she works in a military hospital, getting a salary every month! She was also published in the newspaper, and people all over the country know about her! Isn't that enough? Who said that girls can only get married! If you do well, you will be like Xiaoyu, and you can make all the decisions in your family!"

Mrs. Zhou was stunned on the spot.

Zhou's mother felt that she couldn't explain it clearly to her pedantic eldest daughter-in-law, so she turned around and scolded Zhou Zeguo: "Damn Zhou Zeguo! Who is in charge of this family, you or her? Give me a definite answer!"

Zhou Zeguo: ???

Did mom scold herself?

Zhou Zeguo quickly poured his mother a cup of boiling water and said, "Mom, calm down. I will tell her later!"

Of course I am the one who makes the decisions in this household. Don’t worry, mother. As long as my second sister can study, I will definitely support her until she graduates from high school! But college…hasn’t college been cancelled now? She can’t go there either.”

Zhou's mother also sighed in her heart.

My daughter-in-law is lucky. She graduated from college early and was not affected by this year.

"Support her until she reaches high school first, and then I'll ask the second oldest brother for your help and see what arrangements are in place for the second youngest sister."

Zhou Ermei listened the whole time but didn't respond.

I was one of the girls who had the best life in the production team. Many families did not even let their girls finish primary school. They did farm work inside and outside the house, started dating at the age of 15 or 16, and got married at the age of 18.

She is still in junior high school. Her academic ability is not that good, but she works hard enough and it will be no problem for her to get into high school.

But her mother had revealed in both explicit and implicit ways that she didn't want to support her in high school, saying that it was useless and that it would be better for her to do more housework and get married early...

She doesn't want to.

She liked grandma before.

Grandma was better than mom, at least she treated her and her brother not much differently. Unexpectedly, when grandma came back this time, it was confirmed that she could go to high school.

To say I'm not happy would be a lie.

She was so happy that she almost took off.

When she heard that she had graduated from high school and her most successful uncle in the family could still help her, she...

So happy.

She doesn't have to marry Zhuang Jiahan, and she doesn't have to live a mediocre life like so many other people in the team.

Zhou Zeguo seemed to have heard something and asked, "Mom, can my second sister marry into the army?"

After Zhou Zeguo said this, Mrs. Zhou also became interested and looked at the young lady.

Instantly, Mrs. Zhou lost her temper. "How is that possible? My second sister is just that good. How can an army officer look down on her?"

Zhou's mother rolled her eyes, and seeing that Zhou Ermei lowered her head even more after listening to her mother's words, she turned around and scolded Zhou Zeguo.

"What's wrong with my second sister? She's just a high school graduate, no worse than the people in the city! She also has an uncle who is a senior officer in the army, and her aunt is a military doctor. With their support, my second sister is no worse than anyone else! If you dare to continue to discourage my second sister's enthusiasm, I will come back every year to beat you up a few times! To wake you up!"

Zhou Zeguo: ...

Why do you want to attack him? Do you really come back once a year to beat him up? Doesn't he have any dignity at home or in the production team?

He felt that his mother's temper had become much worse after her trip to the island, and she no longer followed anyone's temper.

Zhou Zeguo said proudly, "Oh, I understand, mother."

Zhou's mother once again urged: "If the second sister passes the high school entrance exam, we will support her until she graduates from high school, and then see if there are any factories in the city hiring! If she can pass, then pass. If she can't, then send her to the island! With her uncle helping her, she won't have a bad marriage in the future!"

Mrs. Zhou smiled and said, "Mom, you are the best nurse. By the way, Zhou Qiang will soon graduate from junior high school. Please decide what to do with him."

Zhou's mother raised her eyebrows and said, "First, take the high school entrance exam. If you pass, go back to the production team and be a scorekeeper. Then see if you can become a branch secretary or something in the future. At least you will be an official in the production team."

"Ah...?" Mrs. Zhou was a little disappointed and said tentatively, "Mother, why don't we wait until Zhou Qiang graduates and then send him to my second brother's place?"

"Why send her to the second sister? The second sister can still get married. What's the matter? Zhou Qiang also wants to get married?"

Zhou Qiang's face turned red, and he said weakly: "Milk..."

Mrs. Zhou: "Mother, look at what you are saying. Doesn't my second brother have a quota to join the army? Why don't we let Zhou Qiang go?"

Mother Zhou had a headache and looked at Zhou Zeguo again.

The latter was silent for a while, then said, "Mom, how about I help you take off your shoes? You don't have to do it yourself."

His mother's beating was too painful, so he could save some strength when he hit himself.

Zhou's mother's mouth twitched violently, "Don't you see your eldest son's behavior? Is he suitable for being a soldier? Don't just serve as a soldier for a few years and then come back to continue farming! You've wasted your quota! Zhou Zeguo, Zhou Zeguo! I said you should marry a virtuous wife, but look at the one you married! Without me to keep them in check, do your children have a future? Will your wife break up your family?"

roar.

My God, I can make him feel ashamed and embarrassed without using a shoe horn.

Qiao Yu, who was far away on the island, sneezed.
