Chapter 268 Returning to My Mother's Home



The guesthouse provided meals and lodging for two people starting from the evening of the 7th. Zhou Mingyuan and I arrived early, so we were able to have lunch at the guesthouse for two people.

If you delay returning to the forest farm, he'll go with you.

As the saying goes, "Those who live near mountains live off the mountains, and those who live near water live off the water."

Zhou Mingyuan and his companion moved into the Zhou family's residence, but according to custom, they also had to report to the guesthouse.

Yu Liangzi was foolish; how could he possibly understand anything from his mother's attitude? He felt quite disappointed at the time.

When Zhou Qinglan met her son-in-law and his friends, she was naturally very friendly and chatted with Zhou Mingyuan and us, talking about the training session.

There aren't many fun things to do in the forest farm. His brother-in-law knows how to use the wind and can catch fish of all ages. He can figure it out himself. Zhao Yongsheng deliberately gave his younger brother a difficult task.

The eldest son had lost interest in hunting and wanted to go hunting with Zhou Mingyuan.

Deer blood wine is a bad thing; only a small number of people know its effects.

Zhou Mingyuan hadn't originally intended to go, but since Chen Weiguo brought it up, he went along with it, which also seemed like a sign of closeness.

"Yes, without certain conditions, his final exam results can't be too bad."

While the mother and son were talking, Cao Chengfeng cooked a few more dishes. Just then, Zhou Qinglan went to work, Yu Liangzi came home from school, and the father and son arrived home one after the other.

So Cao Chengfeng immediately picked out a few cucumbers, took some vegetables, and quickly added a few more dishes.

There were mostly small crucian carp, the rest were miscellaneous fish such as willow root fish, catfish, and whitebait.

Actually, Chen Weiguo got up early to buy groceries, but there were no cucumbers. Zhou Mingyuan carried them from afar, which was a great honor for his son-in-law.

Back at the forest farm, it was around eight o'clock. The deer and roe deer were left outside the yard, and there was time to take care of them. Zhou Mingyuan and his brother then hurried to the river to help Sheng Xiping.

Once you've got your mother-in-law figured out how to make things work, she'll make meatballs, dumplings, and steamed buns for you with venison.

"Hey, Cao Cheng, they're really going back to their mother's house like this, afraid of bringing too much stuff."

"Mom. You came to the Bureau for training, which coincided with Qinglan's vacation. You came back with her so she could stay at home for a few less days and spend time with him and Dad."

Sure enough, Cao Chengfeng became even more excited when he heard Zhou Mingyuan agree.

"Oh right, just take those, what about the deer antler velvet?" Upon hearing this, Zhang Shuzhen immediately turned around to look for the items.

Otherwise, a place with picturesque scenery by the mountains and water, where you can also make money, would definitely be a bad place.

The accommodation and dining conditions there were the worst. People from various forest farms who came to study could not stay in the guesthouses unless they received a letter of introduction from the forest farm.

"Mom, you can help him. You can cook or something."

"That's it. Your mother-in-law is really mean to you. She always calls you 'daughter-in-law' and always calls you 'girl'."

Zhao Yongsheng was annoyed after being scolded by his own mother, but he just chuckled.

On the way, Wang Jianshe and Sheng Xi'an stopped to buy some things. When visiting someone's home, it's not good to go empty-handed. Even if the gifts are few, they are a token of their goodwill.

Chen Weiguo scooped the food out of the pot, and when he turned around, he saw that his son-in-law had rummaged through a small pile of things.

Chen Weiguo meant that Wang Chunxiu was now the undisputed leader, and since Zhou Mingyuan could speak with the Zhao family, that relationship could be severed.

My son-in-law is like my own son; he's a family member.

"When you graduate from junior high school next year, you'll probably have to go down to the countryside. At that time, your mother will try to arrange for you to go to Houchuan, and let your brother-in-law take you back to the mountains to hunt."

You also think that sending your son down the mountain to the forest farm is a bad idea, and that it will cause trouble for the Sheng family.

The eight-story building of the Forestry Bureau Guesthouse was originally built for Soviet experts. After the experts left, it became a guesthouse.

He has to eat whatever you make; if he eats, he might as well go hungry.

His uncle should be at work soon too. Are you cooking? We'll eat in a bit.

"They brought those vegetables with them, regardless of their price. We don't have any ourselves, so we just went out to buy them."

On the morning of the 5th, Sheng Xiping and his brother took Erlang Shen and several other dogs up the mountain for a walk.

Final exams are just around the corner, what should I do? In order to be able to go out and play with my sister, I can only cram at the last minute and give it my all.

Cao Chengfeng carried a small basket on his back, while Zhao Yongsheng carried an egg basket in his hand and a bag on his back containing their change of clothes. They didn't have Cao Chengfeng or any deer antlers yet.

"Let's keep the deer antler velvet for now. We'll decide who needs it, and we can always find a place to sell it later."

"His brother-in-law has to attend training for half a month. If you want to stay at home for a few days less and not have time, go and ask some teachers for advice on the course."

"They didn't have those eggs yet; they were the ones you collected later, and they brought them too."

"So little? Oh dear, he shouldn't leave it all there. This morning, he'll take some things to Secretary Zhao's place."

Speaking of which, the only drawback of the forest farm is that while transportation between the two places is convenient, it also means that bad things can be transported there.

They met Wang Jianshe and Cao Chengfeng on the way; both of them were traveling light.

Those who came for training that time had their meals and accommodation arranged by the organization.

He's lucky he ended up with a bad mother-in-law who loves him. If he were in another family, no one would care what he eats.

And I must say, the haul was pretty good. We caught two rabbits, three pheasants, and even managed to snare a roe deer and a female sika deer.

Despite the cold reception from his father-in-law and mother-in-law, Zhou Mingyuan was grateful and chatted with Zhou Qinglan and her husband while they ate. The meal was quite quiet.

"Okay, we'll have a drink at noon. We're fine this morning, so we'll just have to drink later."

He's just dreaming.

"Something's wrong. How can a bear with such a small size carry such a small thing?"

So Chen Weiguo greeted Wang Jianshe and us first, and then asked Zhou Mingyuan to entertain the guests.
