Zhou Weiguang said, "Don't worry about that. In short, you can expect to drink your daughter-in-law's tea in a year."
Seeing how certain Zhou Weiguang was, Zhao Chunmiao couldn't help but believe him.
"Fine, if you don't want to go on the date, then forget it."
"However, if you can't keep your promise after a year, you'll have to follow my arrangements."
Zhou Weiguang nodded solemnly.
He said it would last a year, but he had to leave after the first month of the lunar calendar, so it's been less than a month.
That afternoon, Zhou Weiguang went to see Zhou Xiaowu.
Two men, wrapped in military overcoats, squatted by the field smoking.
"Uncle Weiguang, is there something you need from me?"
Zhou Weiguang squinted, his eyes stinging from the smoke, and nodded deeply.
"What's the matter?" Zhou Xiaowu asked curiously, after all, Zhou Weiguang's image in his mind was lofty and omnipotent.
“You’re not exactly good-looking, you’re from a rural area, and your income is just so-so…” Zhou Weiguang looked at Zhou Xiaowu and asked seriously, “How did you manage to marry your wife?”

As he spoke, Zhou Xiaowu began to feel the pinch, "I spent a lot of money back then. We had to go to the county town to see movies, and then we had to eat out. I had saved up my savings for more than ten years, and in just one year, I spent it all on her!"
Zhou Xiaowu thought for a moment and then said, "But Uncle Weiguang, you have a high salary and plenty of money, so you're not afraid of this!"
Zhou Weiguang asked, "If we're going to give a gift, what would be a good choice?"
Zhou Xiaowu recounted, "I gave her scarves, soap, and cologne. I also bought cigarettes for her dad and brown sugar for her mom."
The more Zhou Weiguang listened, the more his brows furrowed.
He had given away donkey offal and Zhonghua cigarettes, though the latter was not accepted.
The bloody donkey offal, just pulled from the donkey, doesn't seem to be the same type as the silk scarf, soap, or floral water...
