Dong Yunyue was finally able to get closer to her nephew's wife. "Just think about it, as long as she comes back safely! Your mother-in-law has been so anxious these past few years that her hair has turned white."
"Thank you for your concern, Auntie," Zhou Xiang smiled at Dong Yunyue. She could see her mother-in-law's sideburns, which were so obvious. "Have you bought the house?"
Dong Yunyue shook her head. "I didn't buy it. There's no one in the town who ruined the family. I'm so worried."
"Hahahaha," Zhou Xiang couldn't help laughing. The people in the market town had become smarter. "If you can't buy it, go to the second street in the market town. I have a storefront. It's all been renovated now. There are more than one or two streets between the first and second streets. The two streets are not far away anymore."
That's right! The muddy road behind the processing room has been repaired, and with the addition of East-West Street and the provincial road, there are three roads! If the front yard of the food station hadn't been occupied by me, after the food station was rebuilt, there should be an extra road to the supply and marketing cooperative to the east.
"Let's talk about it later! I still like Yijie." Dong Yunyue no longer stopped Zhou Xiang. She had just come back and must have a lot of things to do.
Zhou Xiang didn't want to go to Zhou's house for the time being. Old Lady Liu and her son were on Second Street, so she didn't want to go there either. So she went to East and West Street to take a look.
The design of East-West Street is the same as that of North-South Street, except that the road surface is narrower.
Zhu Hang's building was also demolished and rebuilt uniformly. It was obvious that the two storefronts were larger than those of other houses.
The road section leading to Guanjia Village at the intersection was also built, and Aunt Huang's land was squeezed by more than half, with only a three-meter-deep storefront left.
When Aunt Huang saw Zhou Xiang, she came out and asked Zhou Xiang if he wanted to come in and sit for a while.
Looking at the shop that has been transformed from a B&B into a fruit shop, Zhou Xiang smiled and said, "Your fruit shop is pretty good."
Aunt Huang's face wrinkled with laughter: "Your second sister's mother-in-law gave me some advice. I just want to make a profit from the price difference to earn some living expenses."
Zhou Xiang nodded, "It's good to do some small business. Ling Ran, let's buy some fruit and go back to see my parents."
"good."
The fruits and dried fruits in my wife's hands will no longer appear, so they need to buy fruits often.
After carrying two bags of fruit, the couple parted ways with Mayor Zhang. When they saw the four-story villas in the town, they wanted to go back to Ling's house to take a look, because by going back to Ling's house, they could directly see the inside of the villa.
The Ling family chose the first and second floors. The third and fourth floors were occupied by colleagues who got along well with Ling Quan. Someone on the third floor was chatting with Ling Quan on the first floor. When they saw someone walking into this path from a distance, they smiled and said, "Ling Quan, your son and daughter-in-law are here."
Ling Quan quickly stood up and opened the gate. "I don't want to chat with you anymore. Yunrong, Ling Ran and Xiangxiang are back."
Ling Ran looked at the person lying on the third-floor balcony, called out "Uncle", and then stepped into the gate of his own yard. After more than 30 years, his house finally changed from a small suite to a two-story villa.
Zhou Xiang followed Ling Ran and called out to the people on the third floor. As soon as he stepped into the yard, his mother-in-law took his hand and said, "Come on, I'll take you to visit our new home."
As you enter the door, the kitchen is on the right, the storage room is on the left, and after entering this corridor, there is the large living room. The bathroom is in the corner of the living room.
The dining room is opposite the living room, and there is a small bedroom on one side of the dining room.
After looking at the first floor, Dong Yunrong took her daughter-in-law up to the second floor and said, "This time, you will have somewhere to stay when you return home. There are six rooms upstairs. There is a master bedroom and a secondary bedroom on the north and south sides. The master bedroom has two bedrooms." Dong Yunrong said, and took her daughter-in-law to the south side separated by the stairs.
"This is your master bedroom. Both rooms have been renovated into bedrooms, so your three children can live with you. We've turned our master bedroom into a study, and the second bedroom has also been renovated, so the children can sleep separately when they grow up."
Zhou Xiang's eyes moistened. "Mom, the south is sunny. You and Dad are old, so you should live in the south."
Dong Yunrong patted her daughter-in-law on the shoulder and said, "There's air conditioning! It's cool in the north in the summer!"
Zhou Xiang looked at her mother-in-law's temples distressedly and said, "Mom, we will come back to celebrate the New Year this year."
"Really?" Dong Yunrong's face was full of surprise.
"Really, I'm going home to spend the New Year with my parents."
"Okay, okay," Dong Yunrong's eyes moistened. She felt distressed when she saw the grievances her daughter-in-law had suffered at the hands of her mother-in-law. "Go home for the New Year, and we'll bring your grandfather over as well."
"Yes! As soon as Erniu gets his day off, ask grandpa to come over. We'll be able to move in around the 25th."
"Yeah, yeah, tell your dad to prepare fireworks for the three treasures."
After going downstairs, Dong Yunrong happily told her husband that her son and daughter-in-law would be home for the New Year. Ling Quan's eyes were red, "Okay, okay, come home for the New Year, we will prepare delicious food for you."
Zhou Xiang felt a little upset. He had kidnapped the other family's only son for many years and he had never come back to celebrate the New Year. The two old people had no objections at all.
I just said I would come back for the New Year, but my parents-in-law got so excited. I must have spoiled the Zhou family.
The couple had no plans to stay for dinner. Their three children were about to finish school, so they wanted to go back and wait for them so that the children wouldn't feel anxious because they couldn't see them.
Ling Quan and Dong Yunrong happily saw their son and daughter-in-law off. It didn’t matter if they didn’t have dinner at home. They were going home for the New Year this year, weren’t they?
After returning to Zhou's house, Zhou Xiang told his father that they would go back to Ling's house to celebrate the New Year this year.
Father Zhou was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "Well, it's time to spend some time with your parents-in-law. They are very generous. It's a blessing for you to be able to do what they do. As for your mother, well, let's not talk about it."
"Tell me! Meizi isn't at home. She must have gone back to work. Where's the child?"
Father Zhou sighed deeply, "After giving birth to a daughter, your third brother happily ran home to take care of her inside and outside during the confinement period. Your mother's nose is not a nose, her eyes are not eyes,
When you weren't home, your third brother and his wife thought she was worried about you, so they didn't make a big deal about it. After the full moon, Mei Zi said she wanted to go back to work, and your mother said she didn't want to take care of the child, so they sent the child back to the Xiao family.
"Dad," Zhou Xiang was dissatisfied, "Why don't you take over? Sister Guo and the others can help take care of the children."
"To be honest, I didn't have the heart to care. When the child was one year old, the couple took him back to Beijing and hired a nanny."
Zhou wanted to take out her cell phone and call her third brother, as she had promised him that he would take care of the child.
"Sister?" Zhou Hua's voice was sharp and trembling with excitement.
"It's me, I'm back, I arrived home last night," Zhou Xiang had tears in his eyes. He had been going around in circles and had treated his third brother badly again.
"Um, was that uncle rescued?"
"They've rescued her. When will you be back? I haven't seen my eldest niece yet!"
Zhou Hua looked at his wife who looked unhappy, and said, "I, we..."
"Third brother," Zhou Xiang interrupted his hesitation, "Whatever decision you make, you must consider Meizi. She is the one who will accompany you all the way to old age. Parents, brothers and sisters can only accompany you for a part of the journey. It's enough to keep in touch.
I promised to take care of my niece, but I didn't. Tell Mei Zi I'm sorry. If you three wouldn't feel lonely celebrating the New Year in Beijing, why not celebrate there?
Zhou Hua pressed the speakerphone button on his cell phone. His daughter had been feeling unwell for the past two days, so he had taken leave to stay home and take care of her. The nanny they hired was not very responsible. She did not change the child's clothes in time, and the child caught a cold. The nanny was fired, and the two of them had to take care of the child day and night, and they were exhausted.
Xiao Chunmei's tears flowed down, "Zhou Xiang, I regret it..."
