Chapter 254: The Young Couple Is Sticky [Update 2]

Zhou's mother worried, "Will it be too late to come back then? I will go with you in the future."

Chen Xiang thought about it and nodded: "Okay."

After she agreed, she looked at Zhou's father across from her and said in a sweet voice, "Dad, I have decided on the menu. Please give me some advice when you are free."

Zhou's father was naturally happy that he had found a place to use his talents.

He quickly agreed: "Okay, let's study the menu today."

"Thank you, Dad."

The family chatted and laughed, and took a long time to eat breakfast.

After dinner, Chen Xiang helped Zhou's mother clean up the kitchen and the yard. Although the area inside and outside the house was so small, they were busy for the whole morning. While they were busy, Zhou's father was not idle either. He made bamboo baskets while listening to storytelling as usual.

After lunch, the family sat on the kang and rested for a while.

Father Zhou was holding the math book that Zhou Dongmeng used when he was in school, and holding a small piece of pencil in his hand. He listened to Chen Xiang calling out the names of the dishes and then wrote them down in the book.

Chen Xiang lowered her eyes, looking at the man's neat handwriting, and whispered, "Vegetables, mapo tofu, stir-fried shredded potatoes, pickled cabbage, and another random stew?"

Father Zhou nodded: "Okay."

Zhou's mother, who was knitting a sweater nearby, added: "If you don't put meat in the stew, it won't be tasty. It should be counted as pickled vegetables, or add some stir-fried pickled cabbage."

Zhou's father was the first to agree: "That's fine, Xiaoxiang, we can also add dried beans and gourd strips."

Zhou's mother: "Every household in the village has dried vegetables like this. If they are not enough, I will go to the village to collect some and bring them back. I guarantee that there will be enough."

Chen Xiang lowered her head and smiled.

Ever since my mother-in-law went to the village to harvest sweet potatoes last time, she has become addicted to it. She nodded and agreed: "Mom, I'll leave the harvesting to you from now on. You have more experience than us. The sweet potatoes I bought last time were even cheaper than those bought at the market."

Zhou's mother felt a little embarrassed when she heard her daughter-in-law's praise.

But his tone was full of pride: "Of course, I've been running this household all these years. If I didn't have this ability, I would have spent a lot more money."

Chen Xiang leaned over, put her arms around Zhou's mother, nodded close to her, and continued to praise her, "Mom, you are so amazing."

The old couple was so coaxed by their daughter-in-law that they couldn't stop talking for the whole afternoon.

At about three o'clock in the afternoon, Chen Xiang loaded the things on the tricycle. She and Zhou's mother put on thick cotton jackets and prepared to set off for the county. As soon as they went out, they heard the sound of a tractor coming from far away in the fields.

Zhou's mother had good eyesight, and she said to her daughter-in-law, "Mengzi is back."

Upon hearing this, Chen Xiang quickly turned around and looked behind her.

The Zhou family lives on the edge of the back village. To the east are endless rice fields. At a glance, one can see the man standing on the tractor, waving towards the direction of home.

She walked quickly to the fence and raised her hand high to wave. Afraid that he couldn't see her, she kept jumping up and down and shouted, "Zhou Dongmeng."

But it was far away and the tractor was so loud.

The man didn't even hear her calling him.

The master driving the tractor looked in the direction of the Zhou family and laughed loudly, "Is that your wife?"

Zhou Dongmeng replied in a loud voice: "She is my wife."

"Just got married?"

"Yeah, newlyweds."

"That's the good thing about being young. Young couples are so close to each other that they miss each other every day."

This time Zhou Dongmeng said nothing. He raised his eyes and looked at his own yard. He looked at the little man jumping in the distance, with an indulgent smile on his well-defined face, and waved at her again.
