"Grandma is right behind you. I can't go anymore. But now that you mention it, I remember that the Lin family is only half-paid for the rent. Big brother, you have only paid one month's rent to me. Remember to send the remaining five months' rent to me when you have time."
After saying this, he didn't care what the Zhou family members thought of him and went straight upstairs, bypassing Wang Yun.
During these three days, the entire Lin family yard was filled with the smell of fireworks.
"Mom, we can't always rely on my eldest brother for support given the current situation at home. I have already signed up to go to the countryside to work in the production team. If I do more work, I can mail some food and goods back to support the family." Zhou Weinan said to his mother while sitting on a mat.
"Go to the countryside? What should I do if you want to go to the countryside?" Zhou Weibei's face looked very bad due to the torment he had endured recently, and his eyes were swollen.
After hearing Zhou Weinan's words, he stood up from the crib.
"Little brother, this is also for the good of the family. When you get to the countryside, work hard to earn work points. Otherwise, our whole family can't survive on your salary alone. Not only that, don't forget that we still have to pay 10 yuan a month for rent."
Zhou Weinan's words were righteous, but there was no stupid person in the Zhou family. Even a fool could see that this was just a solution Zhou Weinan came up with because he didn't want to have to remove his kidney.
Mother Zhou looked at her beloved little son and sat down on the stool exhausted. She seemed to have aged ten years in these days.
The palms and backs of her hands are all fleshy, and she would be sad no matter which son came to donate her kidney.
"Mom, I will be rejoining the team the day after tomorrow. I will send you 30 yuan every month. Although it's not much, I will try my best to complete the mission. This month's food and supplementary food have been taken away by someone else. I will find a way to send you something when I return."
Zhou Weidong was somewhat worried. He didn't know what the impact would be on the army. If his father hadn't gotten into this situation, he would have had a chance of being promoted to platoon leader. Now...
Now that my father-in-law has gotten into this situation, my political review will definitely be affected. I hope I am not persuaded to quit, otherwise my family will be doomed.
Lin Weiwan made some bacon and sausage in the space, and steamed more than ten baskets of large meat buns and steamed buns.
At this moment, I am making a two-piece noodle pot with cornmeal and white flour.
Thinking of the chaos at home, Lin Weiwan stewed a big pot of braised pork with fermented bean curd.
After filling the large bowl, I made another serving of braised pork with preserved vegetables. I stacked the two bowls in the vegetable basket and put a piece of wool on top. I also took out six freshly baked cornmeal potstickers and put them in to make room.
I looked at my watch and it was just noon.
After locking the door, I went straight to the Qin family next door. My aunt was not at home, only Mr. Qin's son was there.
After delivering the things, I took back the things that I had deposited at Qin's house, went back into the house, and put the things in the rattan box back into the space again, leaving only the rattan box in the corner.
Enter the space and start planting vegetables, such as Chinese mustard, Chinese cabbage, and carrots.
The ratio of time in space to time outside is still 10 minutes outside to one hour in space, that is, one day in space is equivalent to four hours outside.
However, this also caused Lin Weiwan to have trouble. Originally, there were only plants growing freely in the space, but now there are three chickens and he can only feed them on time.
Of course, the two hens were also very powerful, allowing Lin Weiwan to harvest 10 eggs a day.
I forgot to feed the chickens after 12:00 yesterday. Lin Weiwan found that the chickens were not starved to death and they did not feel very hungry when I fed them.
I can only guess that it's because of the space, or because it was fed with spiritual spring water. Otherwise, I have already planned to cook the rice bran, or stew the chicken if it doesn't work.
Now that the chicken feeding time is adjusted to once a day, it can still guarantee two eggs a day. Lin Weiwan thinks this is just right.
The fruit trees that were moved in from the yard in the past few days have all started to bloom and bear fruit again. It is estimated that they will be ripe in a few days.
Zhou Rongrong followed Shen Shili, who was carrying a lot of bags, holding a newly made quilt.
"Brother Shi Li, thank you for helping me so much. Without you, I don't know if I can see you again after I go to the countryside."
Zhou Rongrong spoke softly, staring at Shen Shili hesitantly.
"Don't worry, Rongrong won't ignore you. Even if you go to the countryside, you will be remitted money to you every month."
Shen Shili's heart was broken when he saw Zhou Rongrong like this. He secretly cursed the Zhou family for being so mean as to let such a weak girl go to the countryside.
"Rongrong, I'll take you back to the rental house first. I'll fight for our relationship. Don't worry, I won't let you down."
When Shen Shili thought of Zhou Rongrong's seemingly weak and boneless body, his legs began to become unable to move, and he quickly coaxed Zhou Rongrong to go back.
The two of them walked on the street with charming eyes, like a newlywed couple.
On the first floor, the Zhou family, who originally wanted to move out and find a more spacious house, now gave up the idea, partly because Zhou Weinan and Zhou Rongrong went to the countryside and Zhou Weidong returned to the army.
The 12-square-meter room of the Zhou family was occupied only by the old couple, Zhou's mother, and Zhou's fourth son. It was still possible to live there, especially because Zhou's grandfather had a stroke and was lying in bed unable to move.
It's just that the smell in Zhou's room is not very good, and is often criticized by several people downstairs.
After Shen Shili had his fill, he returned to the Shen family, only to see Old Master Shen sitting in the living room. His face had become seven points darker when he saw him return.
"You're back. I guess your family doesn't know about your relationship with Zhou Rongrong. Kneel down in front of me."
Grandpa Shen looked at his grandson with a head full of shit and was so angry that his hands were shaking.
Why would he choose such a woman when there are so many other girls he could choose from? What help can she give to the Shen family? The things of the Lin family are more important.
"I told you to stay away from Zhou Rongrong, why didn't you listen?"
"Grandpa, you never objected to Rongrong's contact before, why do you dislike Rongrong so much now that Lin Weiwan appears?" Shen Shili didn't understand, Rongrong was so considerate, gentle and thoughtful, and understood him so well.
"You're still talking about her. Didn't your Grandpa Zhou mention it last time? Isn't the real daughter of the Zhou family Lin Weiwan? Why don't you want to marry such a beautiful girl and find Zhou Rongrong, whose mother is unknown?"
"You love her. Nowadays, love is free. Grandpa, you can't ruin your life because of that ridiculous engagement."
Shen Shili knelt in the middle of the living room, stiffening his neck and arguing.
"You bastard, no matter what happens between you and Zhou Rongrong, you must marry Lin Weiwan." Old Master Shen stood up angrily and walked in front of Shen Shili.
"Tomorrow we will go to the Zhou family to propose marriage. Your mother has already prepared the gifts. Regardless of your little thoughts, you must agree to this marriage even if you die. If you can't marry Lin Weiwan, you must get out of the Shen family."
After saying these harsh words, Mr. Shen turned around and left, leaving Shen Shili standing there in a daze.
Shen's mother felt sorry for her son and had been hiding aside. When she saw her grandfather leaving, she quickly stepped forward and helped her son up.
