Zhou Ziwen sat on the sofa at home and took a nap for a while. Not long after, Li Fangfang came back from outside.
When she came back, she brought back a lot of food.
"Mom, you're back so soon?" Zhou Ziwen asked.
"It's not very far. I told them and then left." Li Fangfang replied.
She is not very close to her two daughters-in-law.
After all, after getting married, the eldest son and the second son moved out with their wives, and they didn't live together most of the time, so naturally their relationship couldn't be close.
And those two daughters-in-law always want to compare themselves with others in everything.
The other one is not much better. He loves to take advantage of others. Every time he comes to the house, he has to take something back. If the second son didn't like it, she would not have agreed to it.
"Forget it, I won't say any more. It makes me upset if I talk too much." Li Fangfang waved her hand and asked with concern, "Why are you sleeping on the sofa? Go sleep in the house!"
"Mom, Shiying and Yiyi are sleeping in the room!" Zhou Ziwen explained with a smile.
"Then go sleep in your little sister's room. It's uncomfortable to sleep on the sofa."
Zhou Ziwen shook his head and said, "Forget it, I'm already awake. I won't sleep anymore."
After hearing what Zhou Ziwen said, Li Fangfang plopped down on the sofa, took Zhou Ziwen's hand, and asked, "Son, tell me quickly, how are you doing in the countryside? Do you eat well? Are you used to the living conditions? Are you tired from working?"
Zhou Ziwen smiled and nodded. "Mom, don't worry! I'm doing fine in the countryside! I wasn't used to it at first, as the conditions there definitely can't compare to the city. But I gradually got used to it. The food is all homegrown vegetables, which are green and healthy. The place to live is also okay, and the villagers are very welcoming and take good care of me."
Seeing that his mother was listening attentively, Zhou Ziwen continued to explain, "Mom, I am now the leader of the mushroom team. I don't usually do any work. I only need to check the growth of the mushrooms every day."
"If you ask me, staying in the country is more comfortable than in the city!"
Li Fangfang smiled with satisfaction after hearing this. "My son is amazing! He's grown up and become sensible! But don't forget to take care of yourself and don't overwork yourself."
Zhou Ziwen patted his chest and said, "Mom, I'm in good health! Don't worry!"
Li Fangfang then asked, "How are Shiying and Yiyi doing in the countryside? Can they adapt?"
Zhou Ziwen replied, "They've adapted quite well. Shifu is the deputy team leader of the Mushroom Team, and she's usually in charge of management. Yiyi is also good; she's the team leader, and her work is quite easy."
Li Fangfang nodded. "That's good. I feel relieved to see that you are all living well in the countryside."
The mother and son chatted for a while. Seeing that it was getting late, Li Fangfang let Zhou Ziwen rest while she went to the kitchen to busy herself.
There are many people at home today, and the eldest and second eldest sons’ families will be here later. If we don’t prepare in advance, we will be too busy later.
Zhou Ziwen originally wanted to help, but Li Fangfang felt sorry for her son and let him rest on his own.
Zhou Ziwen couldn't persuade her, so he had to go back to the living room and continue lying down.
…
Time passed quickly and soon it was time to get off work.
Not long after getting off work, a figure rushed in hurriedly.
"Brother, brother, where are you?" a crisp voice sounded.
Zhou Ziwen heard the sound, sat up, and saw his younger sister Zhou Xiaomei running in hurriedly with an excited smile on her face.
Zhou Xiaomei has two ponytails and big eyes that are full of spirit. She wears a simple dress and looks youthful and lively.
"Little sister, I'm here!" Zhou Ziwen responded with a smile.
When Zhou Xiaomei saw Zhou Ziwen, she immediately ran over and threw herself into his arms, "Brother, you're finally back. I missed you so much!"
Zhou Ziwen smiled and hugged her, "Little sister, I miss you too."
Zhou Xiaomei let go of Zhou Ziwen's arm and looked him up and down: "Brother, you have suffered in the countryside."
Zhou Ziwen laughed and said, "Haha, how can I say I'm suffering? Didn't I tell you? I'm living a good life in the countryside!"
Zhou Xiaomei looked at her brother whom she hadn't seen for a long time with some uncertainty.
As her sister, how could she not know what her brother was capable of?
"If you still don't believe it, you can ask your sister-in-law!" Zhou Ziwen said with a smile.
"My sister-in-law is here too? Oh, why didn't I see her?"
Zhou Xiaomei began to look around.
"They are resting in the house! Keep your voice down. They are very tired from riding the train these days. Let them have a good rest."
Zhou Ziwen spoke up to stop him.
"they?"
Zhou Xiaomei immediately grasped the key point.
"Well, your sister-in-law and her sister came together. After the New Year, we will go to their home again after a while."
Zhou Ziwen spoke.
"Then I'll go check on them quietly."
Zhou Xiaomei said in a low voice.
She was very curious about this sister-in-law whom she had never met. She especially wanted to see if her sister-in-law and her sister were really indistinguishable.
She had seen the photos Zhou Ziwen sent back before, but couldn't tell the difference between them.
Zhou Ziwen nodded and said softly, "Go, but don't wake them up."
Zhou Xiaomei tiptoed towards the room, gently opened the door, and peeked in. Chen Shiying and Chen Qiaoyi were sleeping peacefully. Zhou Xiaomei carefully examined their faces, secretly amazed. It was just as her brother said, it was really difficult to tell them apart.
She closed the door gently, returned to the living room, and whispered to Zhou Ziwen: "Brother, I really can't tell the difference between my sister-in-law and her sister."
Zhou Ziwen smiled and said, "They do look alike, but you'll be able to tell them apart after spending more time with them."
At this time, the voices of the eldest sister Zhou Xiulan and the second sister Zhou Yaqin came from outside the door: "Is Ziwen back?"
Before he could finish his words, the two of them hurried into the house.
"Ziwen, you're finally back!" When the eldest sister Zhou Xiulan saw Zhou Ziwen, a happy smile appeared on her face.
The second sister Zhou Yaqin also said: "Yes, little brother, we are worried about you."
Zhou Ziwen stood up and said with a smile: "Big sister, second sister, I'm fine."
The eldest sister took Zhou Ziwen's hand and looked at him carefully: "Well, you don't look thin. I'm glad you didn't suffer in the countryside."
"Brother, where is your sister-in-law? Let me see her." The second sister looked around curiously.
Zhou Ziwen pointed in the direction of the room and said, "Shiying and Yiyi are resting in the room. They are too tired from the train ride. Let them sleep a little longer."
"Haha, my little brother also knows how to feel sorry for his wife. How rare!"
The second sister laughed and joked.
"Haha, my wife, how can I not feel sorry for you?" Zhou Ziwen didn't care.
"Brother Ziwen, are the eldest and second sisters back?"
At this moment, Chen Qiaoyi's voice came from the bedroom door.
Chen Shiying followed behind Chen Qiaoyi. The appearance of the two sisters made people's eyes light up. (End of this chapter)
