Zhang Zhan did not continue the topic. His eyes fell on the refrigerator. He hesitated for a moment, then looked at Qiao Yu and asked, "Did you move it?"

"Is this even necessary to ask?"

Zhang Zhan raised his eyebrows, rolled up his sleeves, and said, "Let's arm wrestle?"

"Sure, what?"

The little goldfish regained some spirit and shouted, "Mom! No gambling allowed!"

Qiao Yu turned his head in a very hypocritical manner and spat at her from a distance: "How can you still control your mother?! Your mother and your uncle are just keeping in touch, not gambling! Get the definition clear!"

"My cousins ​​and I are also..."

"Get lost!"

"Okay."

The little goldfish climbed down from the dining table and made room.

Zhang Zhan thought for a moment and said, "The kid is right. We should set an example and not bet on money."

"Is that so... Then I win. You can bring back a sister-in-law next year, regardless of whether it's a girl or a girl."

Zhang Zhan was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay, I win. You and your brother-in-law can give Little Goldfish a brother or sister."

Zhang, the big winner, clapped his hands and cheered: "This is good, this is good!"

The little goldfish clapped his hands and said, "Great! I'm going to have brothers and sisters to play with now."

Qiao Yu glared at the leaky little cotton jacket and said, "Are you just hoping that your own mother will lose?"

The little goldfish didn't want to go against the wind and committed a crime, so he changed his mind and said, "I'm going to have an uncle! I'm going to have an uncle!"

Since the eldest uncle brought back a male daughter-in-law, the eldest aunt changed her name to eldest uncle!

She is really a little genius!

What can Zhang Zhan do?

He couldn't be like my younger sister and be ruthless to the little goldfish, could he? He couldn't hit it or scold it.

In front of this mother and daughter, I can only admit defeat.

But when it comes to arm wrestling, he won't admit defeat.

Zhang Zhan used all his strength.

In 1968, my grandfather had an accident, and soon after, my eldest brother Zhang Zhan was affected. Now it is 1977, and it has been almost ten years.

Zhang Zhan had long since abandoned the physical training he had received in the army, and only occasionally kept the habit of jogging in the morning, which was beneficial to his physical and mental health.

This body is naturally endowed with magical powers. Besides, she is a doctor and focuses on health preservation. How can Zhang Zhan be her opponent?

Zhang Zhan lost to his younger sister.

After the defeat, Zhang Zhan did not have the mentality of a loser. Instead, he comforted himself. This is also a good thing.

I'll bring a daughter-in-law home next year to dispel the rumors.

After staying at home for a long time and interacting with more irritable people, my mentality has improved.

Zhang Zhan pondered.

the other side.

Sister Liu often lamented to Yan Zi: "There is no heating at home, so we have to burn charcoal, which is not very convenient, or..."

Yan Zi interrupted and said, "Mom, grandma's elder brother came back on the third day of the New Year. We can't let grandma and her elder brother sleep in the living room, right? What will happen then?"

"That's true." Thinking about it, Sister Liu still sighed, "Charcoal fire is a bit too expensive..."

"Brother Zhou Jun has two salaries. After I finish my confinement, I will also have a job. Our family doesn't need that little money."

Sister Liu: "You two are still too young. You don't know how to save money and spend lavishly. Why don't I help you manage the household..."

Seeing Yan Zi's expression change, Sister Liu said sadly, "What are you doing? I am your biological mother, how can I care about the little money you have? When you got married, I also gave you 72 legs. Isn't that enough for you? Now I am moving to Beijing with you..."

"Mom, I give you money every month."

"That little money is nothing..."

"Okay, then wait until I'm done with my confinement, and then you can reunite with dad."

Sister Liu's expression froze slightly, and she started to make amends: "Who will help you take care of the second child?"

"Harue-chan is here."

"Harue-chan is a child herself!"

Yan Zi's expression was numb: "When I was Xiao Chunzhi's age, I was also taking care of my brother. If it's too expensive, I can hire someone else."

"How can I ask someone else to take care of you? Can someone else take care of you? I'm your biological mother and I have no other intentions! I..."

Sister Liu promoted the benefits of helping to take care of the children.

Yan Zi let it go in one ear and out the other, and said nothing more.

There are advantages and disadvantages to having a mother raise a child.

The good thing is that you don't have to give much money every month, but the bad thing is that since they are your family, you can't avoid getting lectured.

Fortunately, she had long been accustomed to it.

For Sister Liu, going back to the island to help her sons and daughters-in-law take care of their grandchildren would not only make her no money but also lead to complaints. It would be better for her to help her daughter-in-law take care of her children!

Even if I have to separate from my spouse...

They are an old couple now, and that kind of thing is no longer a thing. They just sleep together on the same bed, and it makes no difference whether they are in two separate places or not.

When Zhou Jun returned home, he saw Sister Liu lecturing Yan Zi. After listening for a while, he saw that his mother-in-law showed no signs of stopping, so he interrupted her and said, "Mom, I have nothing to do this afternoon. I'll make some chestnut cakes. You can send them to my great-grandmother and the others."

"Chestnut cake? I have to use flour again..."

Zhou Jun rolled up his sleeves and interrupted, "There are a lot of people over there, and the workload is huge. Mom, come and help."

Sister Liu shut up.

She doesn't like to talk when she's working, especially when she's cooking. After all, her daughter-in-law had a quarrel with her because she talked while cooking and the whole family ate her saliva.

That daughter-in-law was not someone to be trifled with. She was so embarrassed that she didn’t dare to speak while cooking from then on.

Habits formed over decades can be changed in an instant.

Having escaped the disaster, Yan Zi looked at Zhou Jun with gratitude.

Zhou Junzhan smiled.

After making the chestnut cake, Zhou Jun kept some for his own consumption and sent most of it to the military compound by Sister Liu. Only then did he take off his apron and hat.

He sat down beside Yan Zi and asked with concern, "What's wrong? Are you in a bad mood? Are you annoyed by your mother?"

Yan Zi leaned on his shoulder a little tiredly. When the boat reached the port a moment later, she said, "She has become more talkative as she gets older. She is very talkative."

"I'll try to persuade her later. If it doesn't work, ask her to go back to the island. We'll hire someone else to take care of the child."

Yan Zi shook her head and said, "No, I don't feel safe with outsiders at home."

Zhou Jun thought for a moment and said, "Then let Xiao Chunzhi take care of the child first. If that doesn't work, spend some money and send the child to my mother. You don't have to get involved in the housework, I'll do it."

"You do the manual labor in the restaurant, so I'll take care of the housework."

"No, you're scolding me for being so arrogant all the time, aren't you?"

Yan Zi blushed for a moment, that was sex talk...

Zhou Jun smiled slightly, squeezed her boneless hand, and said, "Let's talk about something happy?"

"Are you happy about something?"

"Yes. I complained before that the stove in the kitchen was too low and I had to bend down every time I cooked. After the manager found out, he applied for it. The stove can be built higher now, and my waist is freed."

The previous stove was designed according to the height of the previous chef. Chef Li was short and fat, so the stove was just the right height. But when it came to Zhou Jun, it bent.

In the long run, it is really bad for your health.

Now the problem is solved.

"Not everyone in the kitchen is as tall as you, right? If someone else were to use the spoon, wouldn't they have to stand on a stool?"

Zhou Jun looked at her admiringly and said, "How can that be possible? When the time comes, build a staircase for cooking, but the area where I stand will not be used."

Yan Zi wanted to say something when she heard crying from outside the yard.

Listen to that voice? It seems to be Xiaochunzhi.

Both husband and wife's faces changed.

"I'll go out and take a look. It's slippery outside, so just stay home. Don't worry, I can handle it."

"Well, go early and come back early."

"good."
