Chapter 008



It was the villagers over there who informed her husband when her grandfather passed away.

She remembered that her husband was absent-minded for a long time and sat alone in the yard feeding mosquitoes at night.

He should want to go back.

After getting married, she had met Aning's parents. His parents were not good people, and his younger brothers and sisters were even worse. They actually wanted to suck her blood, but she scolded them away.

You want money? Sure, your son eats and lives at my place, so pay me back what you owe me first!

Some people really can't be reasoned with. If they don't understand, they have to be tough. She told him at night that his parents had come over, but she didn't make it clear. But he understood that she didn't want to have any contact with them.

She asked Zhou Chengning and found out that he had saved money without telling his parents, so she criticized her own man for marrying into the family and scolded them for paying back the money, and then she sent them away.

After being scolded away, they never dared to come again. They meant that the eldest child should support his parents and grandfather, and then have to pay for his younger brothers and sisters to go to school.

What the hell is reading a book! Don't think she doesn't know, everyone is idle, and they still want big brother's money, dreaming!

I don't have any money! I shouldn't have asked you to pay for the betrothal gift, but you are so shameless to come here. Get lost!

Xu Xiangjuan is not called a shrew for nothing.

I think the reason why this family didn't let her husband stay in Huadu was because they felt that Huadu was too far away for them, so far away that they couldn't control it.

Fortunately, her man is a bit sensible and still has some money saved. She doesn't want a loser who is being sucked dry by his family.

Knowing the significance of Huazhong University, when other women praised her sons and daughters for their promising future, Xu Xiangjuan would subtly brag about her own man, "No, no, the father of the children who went there is also a graduate of Huazhong University. The children are not as good as their father."

She accepts all the flattery from women. Even though they are not praising her, the praise for her husband, daughter and son can make her feel elated.

Guagua returned to the inner room and climbed onto the bed with the help of Xu Xiangjuan. "Dad asked me where my good mother was going."

"how do you say?"

"I said mom is going to the city to take Guagua to buy a car."

Her daughter has been talkative since she could talk, and she didn’t think it was strange. “Guagua, go to sleep quickly. Niuniu is asleep.”

Not knowing that her daughter was a little spy, Zhou Chengning returned to the inner room after taking a shower, feeling dazed.

"Take this piece of paper to Carpenter Chen tomorrow and ask him if he can make it. And how much it will cost if he does."

Carpenter Chen is quite famous in the town. He is an honest man with a conscience and will not cut corners for you.

After taking the paper handed to him by his lover and putting it away, Zhou Chengning seemed to want to say something but hesitated, but still climbed onto the bed first.

He slept in the innermost room. His wife thought he was clumsy as a grown man, so she let him sleep in the inner room so as not to interfere with her taking care of the baby.

Xu Xiangjuan tied up all the big unity coins and sealed them in a pottery jar, which was then placed in a hole in the ground. Small change would be wrapped in a handkerchief.

For example, if a man earned 37 yuan a month, she would keep 7 yuan for spending, and seal the other 30 yuan in a ceramic jar, hiding it very secretly, and she was the only one in the family who knew about it.

Although there is a saying that men become bad when they have money, being poor and having nothing is not a good thing either.

Xu Xiangjuan took out two one-yuan bills from the handkerchief containing change and handed them to her man.

Zhou Chengning didn't know what it meant, but he took it anyway, "Do you want to bring soy sauce and salt tomorrow?"

Normally, he only gets paid when he gets his salary. The rest of the time, he is managed by his wife. He has never even gone to work before. His wife is worried about him going to work and thinks that he is an honest man and will be cheated.

"I'll give you two dollars a month for pocket money. When your salary increases in the future, your pocket money will also increase accordingly. We have food and drink at home, and two dollars is enough for daily expenses. If you need to spend money in the future, tell me the reason clearly. If it's reasonable, I will give it to you."

Zhou Chengning could no longer hear the rest of the conversation. He was shocked by Lingyong and his face turned pale. "Juan, I think we should have a good talk tonight."

"What to talk about?" Couples usually talk at the dinner table or in bed. After Xu Xiangjuan combed her hair with a wooden comb, she got into Zhou Chengning's bed and asked softly.

You can’t speak too loudly. It’s fine when my daughter is asleep, but if she hears what you say when she’s awake, she’ll imitate you.

Her husband is tall and has long legs, while she is only as tall as his shoulders, so naturally she gives the big quilt to her husband and replaces it with a big quilt for him in winter. The big quilt is too small for four people in the family to cover together, but it is enough for one person.

Her man doesn't have any bad smell and he always keeps himself neat and tidy every day. She can smell the clean masculine scent when she gets into bed. She wants to know what he has to say.

"Juan, are you being so nice to me because you don't want me anymore? I don't want any pocket money, so don't be nice to me. I will eat less in the future and not waste food at home." The couple spoke in a low voice in bed. Zhou Chengning held his wife in his arms, speaking in a muffled and low voice.

Only when he even had pocket money did Zhou Chengning realize the seriousness of the situation.

Xu Xiangjuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Her man was even more childish than a child at this moment.

But it's no wonder that the man was panicked because of her sudden behavior. Even her mother asked her quietly in the afternoon if she was buying a bicycle and preparing to run away.

Why is she running away? No one believes that she can be a good person, right?

"I'm not rejecting you. Just eat as much as you want in the future. Don't starve yourself. I had a dream yesterday afternoon. I dreamed that the God of Wealth told me to be nice to you. He said that if I treat you well, I will have a good life in the future. I treat you well for the sake of a good life."

Talking about dreams is more reliable and easier for people to believe, and it has to be a "selfish" dream.

Sure enough, Zhou Chengning believed it, "Dreams are not real... I will let you and your children live a good life in the future... Then why do you want to go to the city?"

"Buy a bicycle, but you have to wait a little longer." She will write a letter to her elder brother tomorrow, so it will take until the end of the month or the beginning of next month to get the ticket.

"I'll go with you then, and I'll hold Gua Gua in my arms." Zhou Chengning brought Gua Gua out to show that he was still useful.

"Yeah, okay, anything else?"

"I don't need pocket money. I have food to eat at home."

It's really strange. It turns out that her man is the kind of person who doesn't even want money.

"You're not happy to spend money? If I give Guagua one cent, she'll happily go buy candy. When the kids grow up, if Guagua and Niuniu ask me for money and I don't give it to them, you can give them money, but you have to know that you can't give everything to Guagua. Especially if she wants to eat candy, you can only give her one cent to buy candy every half a month."

When Niu Niu grew up, he had the same temperament as his father, both quiet and peaceful. Unlike his daughter, who was like a little trumpet when she was young, and like a little firecracker when she grew up a little bit, and when she grew up even more... I won’t say more.

Xu Xiangjuan's words gave Zhou Chengning a new idea and he accepted the two yuan.

"Aning, you are my man and the father of my child. Don't think that I am being nice to you with bad intentions. If you feel unwell or uncomfortable, you must tell me. Don't hide it from me. If you hide it and get a serious illness and spend a lot of money, I will not forgive you."

"I know... Juan has always been good to me."

"Don't forget to tell Carpenter Chen about making the bed."

"I won't forget it."

Seeing that nothing was wrong, Xu Xiangjuan pushed the arm that was still on her back and said, "I'm going to sleep."

Zhou Chengning finally reacted and let go of Xu Xiangjuan, "Oh, okay."

...

The couple had a heart-to-heart talk last night. Zhou Chengning brought steamed buns and last night's spicy chicken back to school in the morning. He didn't explain to his colleagues and gave each of them a steamed bun for lunch.

"My daughter gave me the rabbit buns, so I won't share them with you." Zhou Chengning said, and bit off the rabbit's head.

In the morning, my wife packed buns for him and simply put them in a package and stuffed a cucumber inside for him to chew on. The rabbit buns were indeed what Guagua asked his father to take, and the last rabbit was given to his father.

I won’t give him meat instead of steamed buns today. He ate a lot last night, so he won’t eat much today.

The steamed buns are cold. If there is no sugar or only a little sugar is added, you can't taste the sweetness of the steamed buns. They can only be used to fill your stomach when they are cold. The steamed buns that you can taste sweet after eating them are also delicious when they are cold.

The three teachers watched Teacher Zhou eat the meat in the box and thought it must be delicious, oily and spicy, which made them appetizing.

Although the color of the cucumbers and peppers became darker overnight, the color, aroma and taste were not very good, but the aroma was there. Look at how Teacher Zhou was eating, her lips were all red, but she still couldn't stop eating. It must be delicious.

No matter what happened to Teacher Zhou’s wife, it has to be said that Teacher Zhou has been living a very comfortable life recently.

There was meat for two consecutive meals, as well as white rice and sweet steamed buns. Mr. Zhou's wife was kind enough to not get completely black, so she will probably be able to stay healthy for several days.
