Married daughters also have to support their parents in their old age, and married sons certainly can't escape it either; no one can escape it.
Zhou Cunming: "..."
As expected of his mother, she always acts with such self-righteousness.
Zhao Lexin watched Zhou Cunming and Chen Suwen talking from the side, feeling a little afraid that she would be disliked because she was staying in her second uncle's room.
But Zhou Min comforted her and didn't let her speak, saying that this was a matter between her mother and her second brother, and the young girl shouldn't get involved.
"Mom, people say that once a daughter is married, she's like water spilled from a bowl. Do you really expect your married daughter to support you in your old age?" Li Yulan couldn't help but retort to her mother-in-law.
"What's wrong? Didn't I raise my daughter? Didn't I give birth to her? Since she's my child, shouldn't they take care of me in my old age?"
So what if she gets married? They're all her children anyway.
Li Yulan choked up; her mother-in-law's attitude was truly self-righteous.
"Alright, once you've eaten and drunk your fill, get out of here." Chen Suwen saw that everyone had almost finished eating and gave them the order to leave.
Zhou Cunming: "..."
Zhou Qingyun left his seat at some point, and when he returned, he brought two exceptionally large pumpkins and one exceptionally large winter melon.
"Take these with you when you go back, and eat them when you get home." Zhou Qingyun handed the pumpkin and winter melon to his adopted son.
"Dad? This is a pumpkin? It's huge!"
Yes, these two pumpkins are quite large, weighing at least 30 to 40 pounds each, and that's just the weight of each one.
"Yes, these are pumpkins we grew ourselves. You can take them home and eat them."
The Zhou family has a yard where they can grow vegetables, but the Li family doesn't, because they live in a tenement building.
When Li Yulan's father was allocated a house, he and his wife both liked apartment buildings, so they chose a house in the tenement building area.
As a result, living in the apartment building was indeed novel, but there was no place to farm, the toilets were still public, and the kitchens were shared by people from the entire floor or several floors.
It's just very troublesome.
It's not as good as a separate courtyard like the Zhou family's.
Whether the Zhou couple were progressive or conservative in their thinking, they chose a house with a yard instead of an apartment building when the factory allocated housing.
Later, Zhou Qingyun had the foresight to buy the house, and even after he retired and his sons stopped working at the factory, the house would not be taken back.
Because the house now belongs to the Zhou family.
The Li family lives in a tenement building, so of course they have no place to grow vegetables. Sending them pumpkins and winter melons will help them for a while.
A pumpkin weighing thirty or forty pounds is enough to eat for several days.
And that winter melon, it weighs fifty pounds, enough to last us a long time.
"What a huge pumpkin! What a huge winter melon! Mom, did we actually grow such big pumpkins and winter melons?"
"There are only a few, we can plant more next time," Chen Suwen said calmly.
Actually, this large pumpkin was grown by her using the vines planted by the original owner; there weren't many particularly large pumpkins and winter melons in total.
Next time we can plant more.
