Although a bit tiring, the mountain is not a good place to rest, as there are countless poisonous animals and plants.
Seeing that Meng Zhiyu didn't want to rest, the three Zhou brothers surrounded her and walked down the mountain together at a leisurely pace.
Meng Zhiyu had just turned around and taken two steps when he felt something heavy under his feet. Before he could see what it was, he couldn't help but get goosebumps all over his body.
When he saw that it was a familiar Bai Tuan, his tense heart relaxed. Zhou Songbai noticed that Meng Zhiyu had stopped walking and was about to ask what was wrong, but when he saw that she was lowering her head, he looked over.
"Is this the little wolf cub from last time?" Zhou Songbai kicked it lightly with his foot, trying to drive it away.
The cause of Meng Zhiyu's allergy has not been found, and this little thing is on the list of suspects, so it is naturally more reassuring to stay away from it.
"Is this a wolf cub?" Zhou Er's brother obviously knew Bai Tuan. Seeing how adorable he was, and his third brother kicking his butt, he pushed him and said, "Re Niang is so cute, why are you kicking it? Just hold it aside."
"Meng Zhiqing's allergy may be due to this." Zhou Songbai said slowly as he looked at Zhou Erge's hands reaching out to Xiao Baituan.
Zhou Er's hands froze, unable to move forward. Big Brother Zhou pulled him back and said, "You can't touch that wolf cub. Just drive it away."
But this white ball was obviously a bit shameless and would not leave no matter how much she kicked it. Meng Zhiyu was not worried because she had a "protective film" on her body. She squatted down and tried to pull away its claws that were tightly holding her ankle.
Zhou Songbai and the other two stopped her at the same time, and Zhou Songbai even stood aside to prevent her from bending down. Big Brother Zhou thought that he was the eldest brother and had the responsibility to protect his younger brothers. He held two leaves as a cushion with a tense face and reached out to pull the little white ball apart.
Brother Zhou put Xiao Baituan aside and just when he breathed a sigh of relief, he saw Xiao Baituan running over again with his butt twisted, trying to use the same trick to grab Meng Zhiyu's ankle, but was stopped by Brother Zhou Er with a small wooden stick.
Brother Zhou threw it down a slope and urged the others to leave quickly. After running for a while to make sure it wouldn't catch up, the four of them slowed down.
Meng Zhiyu bought a bottle of odorless disinfectant, replaced it with a bottle that suits the times, and asked Zhou Songbai to use it to wash Brother Zhou's hands.
At the Zhou family's side, Zhou's mother, who had been absent-minded all day, was sitting in the yard sewing thick pants for Zhou's father, while Zhou's father was knitting and polishing a piece of wood to keep her company.
Seeing that she had finally finished tying the knot, he smiled and said, "Finally done, these pants have been through a lot today."
Zhou's mother glared at him in embarrassment and threw the pants in her hand into the bamboo basket where needles and thread were kept.
Mrs. Zhou and Mrs. Zhou Er were in another corner of the yard, looking at each other and smiling. They had suffered a great injustice. For example, the waistband of their pants was sewn together twice.
"Dad, Mom, we're back." Before entering the yard, Zhou Erge shouted towards the gate.
Zhou's mother, who had been unable to sit still for a long time, stood up immediately when she heard the shout and rushed to the door. She pushed away her second son who was coming over excitedly, and affectionately took Meng Zhiyu's hands and led her back.
"Zhiyu, you must be exhausted. Take a break. Are you hungry?" Without waiting for a reply, Meng Zhiyu called out to her two daughters-in-law, "First wife, second wife, go cook and make some more pancakes."
Zhou Ersao responded loudly, put down her needlework and walked towards the kitchen. Zhou Dasao followed behind, sitting on a bench and lighting the fire.
Listening to the earnest voice of Zhou's mother coming from the yard, "Second sister-in-law, look, we are very attentive to our mother-in-law, and our mother-in-law is very attentive to Zhiyu. All that's missing is a big board to stand her up."
"Sister-in-law, what are you talking about? Zhiyu can cure our father's illness, so shouldn't our mother be nicer to her? Besides, Zhiyu saved our two children."
Zhou Ersao was busy kneading dough. Although she didn't know why her eldest sister-in-law said such a thing, her tone revealed her full disapproval.
Mrs. Zhou also knew that what she was doing was wrong, but she couldn't control herself. As long as Meng Zhiyu came, Goudan and the others couldn't eat anything. The good things that only Zhou's father could eat, Zhou's mother took out without any regrets.
She struggled with herself for a while, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Tell me, does Third Brother like Zhiyu? If Zhiyu really marries me, then..."
Then Zhou's mother will definitely treat her better. Will they, as sisters-in-law, have to serve her then?
Zhou Ersao was obviously stunned and subconsciously thought it was impossible. Wasn’t the reason why her brother-in-law was so nice to Zhiyu because she saved Goudan and he also recognized her as his godsister?
"No way, you're probably overthinking it." Zhou Ersao continued cooking. "Even if Zhiyu and Third Brother are together, isn't that a good thing? We have a good relationship with Zhiyu, and she's a good person too. There won't be any intrigue between us."
If she finds someone who is more thoughtful, she will cry.
She had two little sisters in her mother's team, who were a good example. Every time she went back, they would come to her to complain. She would feel dizzy just by listening to their complicated thoughts, let alone fighting them in person.
Mrs. Zhou thought it made sense, so she called Goudan to watch over the fire as soon as it started. She then got up and started working with Mrs. Zhou Er, not having time to think too much.
This was the earliest dinner the Zhou family had. After dinner, Meng Zhiyu began to prepare a medicinal bath for Zhou's father. After the bath, he had acupuncture and took medicine. When he finished, it was already dark.
"Take a medicinal bath three times a month, get an acupuncture treatment once every six days, and take medicine twice a day, morning and evening..." Meng Zhiyu explained the course of treatment in detail to Zhou's mother, who listened very carefully.
After finally checking on Zhou's father's condition and making sure that there was nothing wrong, she told Zhou's mother to tell the family not to tell anyone about her treating Zhou's father, and then she got up to leave.
Zhou Songbai was the one who sent her off again. After a tiring day, Meng Zhiyu returned to the educated youth's yard, washed up, and fell asleep directly.
Meng Zhiyu was still chewing her eggs slowly and carefully during a dreamless night when Li Qingqing's urging voice came from the yard, "Zhiyu, hurry up! The sun is almost overhead."
Meng Zhiyu went to bed early last night and couldn't get up early. It was Wangcai who saw that everyone next door was having breakfast while Meng Zhiyu was still sleeping soundly, so he couldn't help but wake her up.
"Yes, right away." Meng Zhiyu chewed quickly a few times, but even though he took small bites, he still choked on the egg yolk. He quickly drank two mouthfuls of dumpling soup to wash it down.
After the feeling of suffocation passed, Meng Zhiyu threw his hands into the water to wash them casually, rinsed his mouth, picked up the backpack, went out and locked the door.
Song Guangye took Li Tingman, Li Qingqing took Meng Zhiyu, and Mu Ziwei got a bicycle from somewhere, and Jiang Zengzhi jumped on it by pulling the back seat.
"Brother Mu, did you buy a bicycle?" Three cars went out from the back door one after another. Li Qingqing walked in the middle with Meng Zhiyu, and did not forget to turn around and ask Mu Ziwei behind them.
"This belongs to Zhang Yang. I borrowed it when I saw he wasn't using it." Mu Ziwei's voice was lively when he thought about not having to squeeze in with a group of people anymore, and not having to get spit in the face by accident because of a few aunties quarreling.
When we passed by the gathering point of ox carts and donkey carts today, the ox cart had not left yet, but the little donkey had gone ahead.
"Hey, isn't that Brother Zhang Yang? Why is he on the ox cart? Didn't Brother Mu say he wouldn't use the cart today?" Li Qingqing was the first to see it as he was riding his bike, and asked in confusion.
