What Zhou planned was the Zhou family’s house.

Using Western oil paintings to paint local dwellings full of rural flavor has a unique flavor.

When Qin Hanshu saw it, he was amazed.

She praised sincerely: "Ce Ce's composition and layout are very good, with a bit of Mr. Huang's style."

Zhu Jingsu's eyes lit up, "You also know Mr. Huang?"

Qin Hanshu nodded: "Mr. Huang is recognized as the best Western painter in the previous dynasty. He is very famous."

In fact, Qin Hanshu had also seen Huang's original works when her father took her to a friend's house as a guest.

Zhu Jingsu said proudly: "I have a painting album by Mr. Huang at home, and Cece has been copying it."

Qin Hanshu suddenly realized, "No wonder."

After finally meeting such an insightful person, Zhu Jingsu felt much closer to Qin Hanshu.

She started talking to Qin Hanshu in order to test the true relationship between Qin Hanshu and Zhou Weiguang, but suddenly, she forgot about this purpose.

Zhu Jingsu took Qin Hanshu to talk about many famous works and even their gossips and private affairs.

When he talked about the exciting parts, he laughed out loud.

Qin Hanshu was a little puzzled. Didn’t Zhou Ruilan say that her second sister-in-law was cold and aloof?

It doesn't look like it.

In the kitchen, Zhao Chunmiao was cutting vegetables, Zhou Weiguang was peeling garlic, and Zhou Ruilan was eating.

"Did second brother leave in the morning?" Zhou Weiguang asked.

Zhao Chunmiao nodded and said, "He said he had some official business, so he left first. Let your second sister-in-law and nephew stay here for a few more days."

Zhou Ruilan asked: "Does the second sister-in-law agree to this?"

Zhao Chunmiao said, "Why wouldn't she be unwilling? I'll provide her with good food and drink, and she doesn't have to do anything."

Zhou Ruilan laughed secretly and said, "I guess Mom will never be able to enjoy the service of her daughter-in-law in this life."

Then, he turned to Zhou Weiguang and joked, "Second sister-in-law can no longer be relied upon. You should quickly marry a wife so that our old mother can show off her power as a mother-in-law."

Zhou Weiguang seemed to be peeling garlic seriously. He didn't understand what Zhou Ruilan said and looked up in confusion.

Zhao Chunmiao snorted and said, "I don't care about the power of a mother-in-law. As long as he marries me, I will be happy to serve another daughter-in-law."

Thinking of Zhou Weiguang and Qin Hanshu standing at the gate of the courtyard just now, and Zhou Ce blurting out "Third Dad, Third Mom", Zhao Chunmiao felt warm in his heart and wished this was the fact.

She put down the knife in her hand, walked to her son's side, and said softly: "Weiguang, Mom wants to ask you something, you have to tell the truth."

Zhou Weiguang nodded in confusion.

"What do you think of this girl, Xiao Shu?"

Zhou Weiguang's pupils shrank, and then he lowered his eyes to hide his emotions, "What do you mean?"

"Tsk! You are so stupid!" Zhao Chunmiao said angrily, "Do you want to marry her as your wife?"

Zhao Chunmiao sighed and said to himself:

"Actually, before you came back, I thought about introducing you two, but then I sounded out Xiao Shu and found out that she didn't want to date."

"I think, she said so, maybe she changed her mind after seeing you? Although you..." Zhao Chunmiao looked at Zhou Weiguang and smiled, "You are a cadre after all, and our family conditions are not that bad."

"What if she falls in love with you? That's why I'm creating opportunities for you to meet."

Zhou Weiguang's heart was beating like thunder at first, but when he heard the end, his brows furrowed. When did he create opportunities for them? He was the one who racked his brains to find them.

"But you've been back for so long, and Xiaoshu hasn't even looked at you twice. So I want to ask you what you think. If you think Xiaoshu is good, I'll shamelessly talk to you about it."

Although if it doesn't work out, it will inevitably be awkward to get along with each other in the future, Zhao Chunmiao doesn't care about that anymore.

After the New Year, Zhou Weiguang will pack up and return to the army.

After Zhao Chunmiao finished speaking, he looked at his son with burning eyes.

Zhou Ruilan also blinked her big eyes and looked at her brother.

Zhou Weiguang didn't know what he was thinking, and there was no emotion on his face. He was silent for a while, and then said, "No need, no need to say it."

Zhao Chunmiao was very disappointed. It seemed that both parties did not like each other.

Forget it, now she has completely given up.

In this life, she and Xiao Shu have no such fate.

"Mom has some photos. You can take a look at them later. Let's start the blind date from tomorrow."

This meant that Zhou Weiguang’s marriage issue had to be resolved.

Zhou Weiguang said helplessly: "Mom, forget about the blind date. I will leave after the first month of the lunar year."

"That's why we have to hurry up!" Zhao Chunmiao said anxiously, "Calculate your age. How many years do you have left? I tell you, old men are worthless! Which young and beautiful woman would like an old man?"

Zhou Ruilan couldn't help but burst out laughing, "That's true. Anyway, I don't like it. I won't consider anyone over 25 years old."

"Did you hear that?" Zhao Chunmiao slapped his thigh, "You're so old, even your sister doesn't like you!"

In fact, these words were also meant to motivate Zhou Weiguang. Zhou Weiguang's conditions made him a popular commodity among matchmakers.

Zhou Weiguang didn't say anything, but he didn't stop peeling garlic.

After peeling the last garlic in his hand, Zhou Weiguang stood up.

He took a deep breath and said, "Mom, I promise you that we will get married within a year."

Zhao Chunmiao was stunned for a moment, then asked, "You want to look for it at the base?"

After thinking about it, Zhao Chunmiao felt something was wrong and asked suspiciously, "Do you have a partner? Did you find one at the base?"

Zhou Weiguang said: "Don't worry about it. Anyway, you can wait to drink tea with your daughter-in-law in one year."

Seeing Zhou Weiguang speak so confidently, Zhao Chunmiao couldn't help but believe it.

"Well, if you don't want to see me, forget it."

"But if you can't fulfill your promise after one year, you will have to follow my arrangements."

Zhou Weiguang nodded solemnly.

It was said to be a year, but he had to leave after the first month of the year, so it was less than a month.

That afternoon, Zhou Weiguang went to find Zhou Xiaowu.

Two men wrapped in military coats squatted by the field and smoked.

"Uncle Wei Guang, do you have something to talk to me about?"

Zhou Weiguang squinted his eyes due to the smoke and nodded deeply.

"What's the matter?" Zhou Xiaowu was curious. After all, in his mind, Zhou Weiguang was tall and omnipotent.

"You are ugly, and you have a rural hukou, so your income is just so-so..." Zhou Weiguang looked at Zhou Xiaowu and asked seriously, "How did you marry your wife?"

"......" Zhou Xiaowu said a little aggrieved: "Why are you still making personal attacks?"

Zhou Weiguang was silent for two seconds, then said, "I am sincerely asking for your advice."

Zhou Xiaowu looked at Zhou Weiguang suspiciously, and after a while he suddenly realized, "You want to learn from me! Whose girl are you looking at?"

Zhou Xiaowu tried his best to pry Zhou Weiguang's mouth open but failed, so he finally gave up.

"Well, there are only a few things you can do to woo a girl: give her gifts, take her to the movies, buy her snacks from time to time..."

Zhou Xiaowu began to feel pain as he spoke. "I spent a lot of money back then. I had to go to the county town to watch a movie, and when I went to the county town I had to go to a restaurant. I saved my own money for more than ten years, and I spent it all on her in just one year!"

Zhou Xiaowu thought for a moment and said, "But Uncle Wei Guang, you have a high salary and are rich, so you are not afraid of this!"

Zhou Weiguang asked: "If I were to give a gift, what would I give?"

Zhou Xiaowu counted the details, "I have given her silk scarves, soap, and floral water. I also bought cigarettes for her father and brown sugar for her mother."

The more he listened, the more Zhou Weiguang's brows furrowed.

He had given away donkey offal and Zhonghua cigarettes, although the latter were confiscated.

The bloody donkey offal that was just taken out of the donkey doesn't seem to be of the same type as the silk scarf, soap and floral water...
