Extra Chapter 4 Zhou Yunhui
Yan Shuyan asked her son in the room, "When you play with Zhou Zhihui, what's her personality like?"
Zhou Songran thought for a moment and said, "It's relatively quiet. If she liked to make noise, my sister wouldn't play with her."
Yan Shuyan smiled and looked at her son: "Yunyun is a younger sister, and Zhou Zhihui is also a younger sister. But from your tone, it sounds like the two younger sisters are not the same?"
“Of course they’re different.” Zhou Songran replied without hesitation, “They’re definitely different. I’ve watched my sister grow up since she was little. We’re siblings.”
Yan Shuyan just teases her son. Ever since Yunyun was born, her son goes to his second brother and sister-in-law's house every week to play and see his sister. His second brother and sister-in-law are good to him. They not only have a room for him, but they also prepare clothes for him when the seasons change. It goes without saying which side he is closer to. Sisters are different from each other. The affection is all built up over time.
She smiled and said, "It seems that Yunyun really likes Zhou Zhihui, her older sister."
Zhou Songran chuckled and said, "My sister likes so many people. My second uncle's friends also have children. As long as they don't cause trouble, she likes them all when they come to my second uncle's house to play. She even gives them gifts. But her favorite person will always be me, her older brother."
Zhou Mingyang couldn't stand his smug look: "Sisters have more in common. How can you be so sure that your sister will always like you, her brother, the most?"
Zhou Songran: "Of course, my sister and I are closer."
That's what he said, but when Zhou Yunhui woke up from her afternoon nap, he asked his sister, "Between me and Zhou Zhihui, who do you like the most?"
Lin Yi'an and Zhou Mingshi sat next to each other drinking tea.
Yan Shuyan and Lin Yi'an said, "You were just inside the house confidently saying that your little sister loves her brother the most, but it seems you're not so confident after all."
Lin Yi'an smiled.
Zhou Yunhui was drinking water from her cup when she heard her brother's words. She grinned and said, "I like you the most, brother."
Zhou Songran asked worriedly, "If I'm not careful and treat you badly, will you still like your brother?"
"I don't like it," Zhou Yunhui said without hesitation.
Zhou Songran couldn't believe it: "Just because I was mean to you once, and it wasn't even intentional, you don't like your brother anymore?"
Zhou Yunhui: "If you treat me badly, I won't like you."
Zhou Songran was disappointed: "So heartless?"
Zhou Yunhui chuckled: "I'm heartless."
Zhou Songran pinched her cheek: "You're still smiling."
Zhou Yunhui laughed even harder, hugged his arm and said, "Brother, take me out to play."
Zhou Songran stood up: "Let's go, let's go to the pond to feed the fish."
Zhou Kanghui came out of the room and said, "Grandpa will take you to feed the fish. I spent a lot of money to buy these fish, so don't let them die."
He took his granddaughter's hand and walked outside.
Meanwhile, Zhou Jia brought Zhou Zhihui back to her mother's house. When Sun Yurong saw them return, she asked, "Why are you back so soon?"
Zhou Jia said, "After lunch, they wanted to take a nap, so of course they came back. Otherwise, would they have stayed there?"
Sun Yurong told her granddaughter to take a nap, and only after her granddaughter returned to her room did she ask, "Is your dad home?"
Zhou Jia: "Yes, not only is Dad here, but also my eldest brother and sister-in-law, and my second brother and sister-in-law."
Sun Yurong lowered her voice: "How does your father treat Huihui?"
Zhou Jia paused for a moment. It was definitely not as good as Song Ran and Yun Yun. Of course, Song Ran was older, and he doted on his little granddaughter Yun Yun more now. He had just given Hui Hui a gift, and then he gave Yun Yun and Song Ran a gift as well.
When eating, if Yunyun wanted to eat shrimp, he would peel them for her; if she wanted to eat fish, he would remove the bones. Not to mention Huihui, even when Songran was little, he wasn't this attentive.
She could tell that her father truly doted on his granddaughter, Zhou Yunhui. People say that grandparents love their grandchildren more, and it seemed that all of her father's patience in his life had been devoted to this granddaughter.
Seeing that she didn't speak, Sun Yurong asked, "What's wrong? Does your dad not like Huihui?"
Zhou Jia said impatiently, "Dad and Huihui haven't had much contact. When she was born, her parents had such a bad falling out with the family. It's already quite generous of Dad to let her come over and even give her a gift. What more do you want?"
Sun Yurong sighed. She didn't think much of it: "Huihui is getting older. I just thought that she is, after all, the Zhou family's granddaughter. Putting aside everything else, it would be good if your grandfather could give her a dowry when she grows up."
There was a mother who didn't initially like this granddaughter much, but the child was considerate, even more so than her father and aunt. After taking care of her for several years, she developed a bond with her, and the child was closest to her, so she couldn't help but want to think more about her.
Seeing that she didn't seem to be faking it, Zhou Jia said, "If you really care about her, why don't you just leave your two houses to her in the future?"
Sun Yurong looked at her: "You don't want it?"
Zhou Jia didn't say anything. She owned two villas and four shops. When she got married, her father and grandparents would give her a dowry. She really didn't care about her mother's assets.
Sun Yurong could guess her thoughts from her expression, and sighed again: "Your third brother struggled his whole life, let alone catch up with your eldest and second brothers, he couldn't even catch up with you."
Zhou Jia frowned: "Don't keep saying these things. Third Brother is fine as he is. Every time you say these things, he feels bad. Why say things that hurt his feelings?"
Sun Yurong: "Okay, I won't say anything more."
As for giving the house to her granddaughter, she hasn't considered it yet. She's afraid that if the child becomes closer to her mother in the future, her house will be wasted.
...
The next day, Zhou Yunhui took her parents to the horse farm to learn to ride horses.
Zhou Songran followed behind. He went, and his parents, who didn't work, naturally went along as well.
Zhou Kanghui, having nothing else to do, followed along.
Seeing that her father had gone with them, Zhou Jia, who hadn't ridden a horse in a long time, followed behind in her car.
Zhou Yunhui's horse was a pony, suitable for children to ride. She fell in love with it at first sight when her uncle gave it to her.
Lin Yi'an's horse was a gift from Zhou Mingshi; it was a white thoroughbred Arabian horse. Although her horsemanship was not as good as Zhou Mingshi's, she could still ride the horse very well.
Zhou Mingshi also had his own horse, a black thoroughbred. A group of people went to change into riding clothes first.
Zhou Songran's horse was a gift from his second uncle, and they were raised together at his sister's horse farm.
As for Zhou Kanghui, Zhou Jia, and the couple Zhou Mingyang and Yan Shuyan, they don't have their own horses, but there are other horses available for them to choose from at the horse farm.
Zhou Mingshi first went to teach his daughter to ride a horse.
Lin Yi'an put on her riding clothes, mounted her horse nimbly, and started riding in the riding arena.
Zhou Yunhui looked at her mother galloping on horseback in the riding arena and exclaimed, "Mom is so amazing! Dad, teach me quickly, I want to ride a horse too!"
Zhou Mingshi looked at his wife in the horse farm, smiled, and then bent down to lift his daughter onto the horse.
Yan Shuyan: "My second sister-in-law has already started, so let's hurry up too."
She and Zhou Jia quickly chose their horses, mounted them, and rode after Lin Yi'an.
A group of people ran a few laps and then came down to rest, but Zhou Mingshi was still at the horse farm teaching his daughter to ride a horse.
Yan Shuyan couldn't help but laugh and said, "Second brother is very patient. He has been teaching for so long without showing any impatience."
Zhou Mingyang raised an eyebrow: "That's his daughter, if he doesn't teach her, who will?"
Zhou Songran dismounted from his pony and, upon hearing his father's words, said, "When I learned to ride a horse, it was a riding instructor who taught me. You didn't teach me."
"..." Zhou Mingyang glared: "You brat, whose son are you?"
Zhou Songran chuckled: "I am your son, but you are not as patient as your second uncle, nor do you know how to pamper your child. Dad, you should learn more from your second uncle. You are brothers, so you will definitely learn quickly."
After saying that, he ran away.
After horseback riding in the morning, the group had lunch at the hotel and then went home.
When Sun Yurong called, Zhou Jia had no choice but to go see her mother again.
Sun Yurong looked at her daughter and said, "My back suddenly started hurting. Could you help look after Huihui? It's the weekend, and she doesn't have school today."
What else could Zhou Jia say? There was a nanny at home, and a five-year-old child didn't really need much care; all she needed to do was feed and give her water.
But her mother was sick, so she couldn't just leave: "I'll stay here tonight."
Sun Yurong thought she was going to take Huihui back to her place, but she didn't expect her to stay here. She asked, "Where did you go this morning? I called you but you didn't answer."
Zhou Jia: "I was riding horses with my sisters-in-law at the horse farm, so I didn't hear anything."
Sun Yurong: "Don't they bring their children?"
Zhou Jia: "My eldest and second eldest brothers are here too. My second eldest brother is teaching Yunyun how to ride a horse."
Sun Yurong said, "Huihui is five years old and still can't ride a horse, but you all could ride horses when you were that age."
Zhou Jia: "You can ask Third Brother to take her to study when he's off work."
At this point, she looked at her mother and said, "Huihui is my third brother's child, and it's his responsibility. I know what you mean, Mom. I'm not against marriage. Although I don't have a boyfriend, I will get married and have my own family in the future. Huihui is my niece. I love her and often buy her clothes and toys, which is fine. But I can't treat Huihui as my responsibility and think about her in everything."
Sun Yurong said awkwardly, "Look at you, I didn't say anything."
Zhou Jia: "It's no use even if you say it."
She's not stupid; how could she not see what her mother meant?
Now that the Zhou family is run by the second brother, the eldest and second brothers naturally won't take care of Huihui, and the mother doesn't dare to hope for anything.
But she was different; she was Huihui's aunt, so her mother naturally dared to consider letting her take care of her niece.
After all, she herself likes to manage her nephew.
Sun Yurong's expression was somewhat unpleasant: "I know, I didn't say you were in charge, and your third brother won't let you be in charge either."
Zhou Jia: "Well, Third Brother has always been a strong-willed man, how could he possibly let his younger sister raise his daughter?"
This daughter is becoming increasingly stubborn, so Sun Yurong said impatiently, "Alright, alright, you can go out now. My back hurts, I'm going to take a nap."
Zhou Jia didn't say anything more.
...
Zhou Yunhui learns to ride horses in the morning and has to go to class in the afternoon.
Zhou Kanghui usually accompanies her to class, and today was no exception. After waking up from her afternoon nap, the grandfather and granddaughter left.
With no one to disturb them, Zhou Mingshi thought of his wife's graceful figure on horseback and suggested, "Next time we have a break, let's go horseback riding, just the two of us, okay?"
Lin Yi'an smiled and looked at him. He had spent the whole morning teaching his daughter to ride horses, and he himself hadn't had time to relax. She said, "Of course."
In the evening, Zhou Yunhui returned from class with not only a doodle, but also a box of sushi and two sandwiches, which she handed to her mother.
"I made this for my parents," she said happily. "Grandpa and I have already eaten."
Lin Yi'an took it and looked at it: "How can it be so beautiful? It looks delicious."
Zhou Kanghui said proudly from the side, "Of the four children, our Yunyun's is the best and her table is the tidiest."
He loves accompanying his granddaughter to class. Every time he teaches, his granddaughter receives the most praise, and the grandparents of the other children envy him.
Zhou Yunhui loved it when her grandfather came home and talked about her classes; she would laugh every time he did.
Lin Yi'an touched her daughter's little face and handed one of the sandwiches to Zhou Mingshi: "Your daughter's masterpiece."
Zhou Mingshi gave his daughter face: "If you finish these, you don't need to eat dinner."
Zhou Yunhui watched him take a bite and asked expectantly, "Is it good?"
Zhou Mingshi: "Delicious."
Zhou Yunhui ran to her mother again and asked, "Mom, is it delicious?"
Lin Yi'an nodded: "Of course it's delicious."
After Zhou Yunhui and her parents finished their sandwiches and sushi, she sat on the sofa and said to them, "Grandpa is amazing. The teacher asked Grandpa to play a game with me in English, and Grandpa spoke the best. Ma Wenyao's grandpa can't speak English, and Ma Wenyao even cried."
Zhou Mingshi patted his daughter's head: "Ma Wenyao's grandfather, like your maternal grandparents, used to farm in the countryside. The grain he grew supported his family. He didn't have time to learn English. Although he didn't know English, he was just as capable as your maternal grandparents."
Ma Wenyao's father had only been wealthy for a few years, and the house was near their home.
Zhou Yunhui nodded: "My maternal grandparents are the most amazing. They can grow grains, medicinal herbs, and everything else. They can even grow strawberries, which I like to eat."
Lin Yi'an smiled and said, "Next time in class, you can say to Ma Wenyao that his grandfather is very capable and knows how to grow crops. We all need to eat crops, otherwise we will go hungry. So your grandfather is capable, and his grandfather is also capable."
Zhou Yunhui: "I'll listen to my mother."
