Chapter 132 Daily Life 2
After Zhou Mingshi straightened Lin Yi'an's headdress, he took her hand, and the two walked towards the banquet hall while talking.
After exchanging a few casual words, Zhou Mingshi casually asked, "Did you run into someone you know?"
Lin Yi-an: "College classmate."
Zhou Mingshi lowered his eyes, seeing her lukewarm reaction, a hint of pleasure appeared between his brows. Since she was an unimportant person, there was no need to mention her. He then said, "After the apprenticeship ceremony, we'll go back to Changping..."
Lin Yi'an looked at him, gazed into her clear eyes, touched her face, and smiled, saying, "Saturday is my mother-in-law's fifty-second birthday. We'll go back to celebrate with her."
Lin Yi'an smiled brightly: "You know Mom's birthday?"
Zhou Mingshi smiled and said, "Of course I know."
Lin Yi'an's expression softened, and she couldn't help but praise, "You're a very good husband."
He remembered her birthday, and even her parents' birthdays, which shows how thoughtful he was.
Zhou Mingshi said, "You're great too, you remember your parents' and grandparents' birthdays as well."
Lin Yi'an smiled and said, "We're all fine."
Zhou Mingshi smiled gently and said, "Mm."
After the apprenticeship banquet, the couple packed their things and returned to Changping.
Zhou Jia was also packing her luggage, preparing to go abroad.
Before leaving, she went to visit her mother.
My niece is already over two months old. He Xishan has finished her postpartum confinement and is taking care of the baby at home every day. When she saw Zhou Jia, she smiled and said, "Jiajia's here?"
Since Zhihui was born, her sister-in-law has brought her gifts every time she visits, and gradually she has developed a good impression of her sister-in-law.
Zhou Jia hummed in agreement and looked around: "Where are Mom and Third Brother?"
He Xishan said, "Didn't your third brother invest in a catering business? He went to work at the restaurant. As for Mom, she went to the Sun family's place."
Zhou Jia nodded: "I'm leaving the day after tomorrow."
He Xishan asked in surprise, "Where are you going?"
Zhou Jia: "I mentioned studying abroad before."
He Xishan suddenly realized, and said apologetically, "I think I heard your third brother mention something, that his memory has been declining since Huihui was born..."
Zhou Jia didn't care. Her parents and brother didn't really care that she was going to study abroad, let alone her sister-in-law.
As they were talking, Sun Yurong returned from the Sun family home. When she saw Zhou Jia, her eyes lit up: "Jiajia's here? Quickly lend me some money, I need it."
He Xishan frowned when she saw her mother-in-law like this, but since she wasn't asking her for money, she sat quietly to the side.
Zhou Jia didn't want to lend the money: "Mom, you've borrowed more than 300,000 yuan from me in the past few months. It's not a lot, but I'm going to study abroad, so I need to keep some money in my pocket."
She understands her mother as well as her mother understands her. When she borrows money from her, she never borrows too much, and she never borrows money from her at the end of the month. Every time her grandparents give her pocket money, she calls.
Fifty or one hundred thousand isn't much, and she's her own mother, always looking so pitiful, so she couldn't bear it and lent it to her. But now she's going abroad, and it's not like home; you'll need money for everything. She has to think about the future.
Sun Yurong lowered her voice: "Caijie's medical expenses are gone again. His health can't be delayed. Can you lend me another 100,000? If you go abroad in the future, I won't ask you for money anymore."
This daughter is going to study abroad, and the Zhou family patriarch and matriarch love her dearly. She will have to rely on this daughter in the future, so she doesn't want to anger her.
Zhou Jiateng stood up abruptly: "Mom, how much money have you given Uncle in total? Not to mention the money you borrowed from me, there's also the money you borrowed from Third Brother. Sun Caijie is just your nephew, not your son. He has parents. If he doesn't have enough money for medical expenses, ask Uncle and Aunt to find a way."
He Xishan agreed with this statement. Currently, Mingyuan is covering all the household expenses, and her mother-in-law asks him for money every few days. The expenses are too high: "It's not that I don't want my mother-in-law to help her family, but there should be limits."
Sun Yurong glared at her: "If your parents hadn't swindled so much money from Mingyuan, how could we be broke?"
He Xishan's eyes immediately welled up with tears: "Mom, are you blaming me? I didn't know my parents would lie to me, if only..."
"Mom, Shanshan just finished her postpartum confinement period and her body hasn't fully recovered yet. Are you bullying her again?"
Zhou Mingyuan returned at some point, and upon seeing her in this state, he immediately hugged her with heartache.
Sun Yurong: "...When did I bully her? I just told the truth?"
Zhou Mingyuan retorted sarcastically, "If you didn't spend the money on that pretty boy, would you be broke?"
Sun Yurong sneered: "He really is my good son!"
After saying that, he turned around and went back to his room.
Zhou Mingyuan looked at his wife and reassured her, "Don't worry, once I've earned some money, we'll move out."
His mother has always disliked Shanshan, so it's not appropriate for them to live together. Shanshan is gentle and a junior, so she'll definitely suffer.
He Xishan: "Okay."
Zhou Jia's expression was complicated. She didn't say goodbye to them and left silently.
Before going abroad, Zhou Jia never visited her mother again, and she didn't return to China for the next few years. When she finally came back, everything had changed.
In Changping, Lin Shuhe and Liu Zhengying knew their daughter and son-in-law were coming back, so they started cleaning. Even though the house wasn't dirty, they still cleaned it thoroughly.
I hadn't been back for several months. When I returned, the house had been built, and Grandma's clinic had been moved into the new house.
After the medicinal herb base was cleared, some of the medicinal herbs that needed to be planted had already been planted in the ground. Zuo Mingyang strolled around the village and saw them return, and said with a smile, "Don't you think the village has changed?"
Lin Yi-an: "Yes."
Zuo Mingyang pointed to the pond in front of the door: "Your boss Zhou asked us to leave the pond by the roadside, saying he wanted to plant cherry blossoms. When spring comes next year, the whole village will be full of cherry blossoms, which might become a scenic spot in the village."
Lin Yi'an smiled and looked at Zhou Mingshi. Zhou Mingshi held his hand and said to Zuo Mingyang, "You've worked hard these past few days."
Zuo Mingyang smiled and said, "This is just my job. What's so hard about it? As long as your pharmaceutical factory can get going, it's all worth it, no matter how hard it is."
Zhou Mingshi smiled faintly and said, "Don't worry, the pharmaceutical factory will definitely be opened."
Zuo Mingyang felt relieved. He leaned closer to Zhou Mingshi and said, "The Li family has received half of the compensation. The road has been repaired, and the village clinic is still under construction. I heard they plan to sell another house. It seems that after their backer fell, they have become much more well-behaved."
Zhou Mingshi raised an eyebrow slightly: "Abiding by the law and acting in accordance with the law, I suppose the Li family has already understood this principle."
Zuo Mingyang laughed. Of course he understood. If he didn't understand, did he want a few more people to go in?
After Zuo Mingyang left, Liu Zhengying came over and called her daughter and son-in-law into the house, and then cut watermelon for them: "It's so hot outside, come and eat some watermelon."
She cut the watermelon into pieces, put them on a plate, and placed it in front of them.
Zhou Mingshi used a toothpick to pick up a piece of watermelon and fed it to Lin Yi'an's mouth, and Lin Yi'an opened her mouth and took a bite.
Seeing her eat the watermelon, Zhou Mingshi also picked up a piece of watermelon and slowly began to eat it.
