Zhou Kai, who thought he would not be able to come back for the Chinese New Year, ran back just as lunch was about to start. "Today is my son's 100th day. I came back to attend the banquet."
Guo Jia pushed away her husband who wanted to hold the child, "Go take a shower, you are covered in dust and cold."
Zhou Kai took the opportunity to kiss her on the cheek before carrying his bag and going to the room.
With Zhou Kai making jokes, this New Year's Eve and Lailai's hundred-day party were really lively.
Because the shameless Zhou Kai stretched out his hand to ask everyone present for gifts for the little boy’s hundred-day party. After asking for one round, he asked for a second round of New Year’s money.
After handing all the red envelopes to his wife for safekeeping, he still complained that she had not given birth to enough children. "It's not as good as my cousin's one baby with three, nor as good as Zhou Yu's one baby with two. Let's have one baby after another and make sure to celebrate all the mountains and rivers we have traveled to."
Everyone agreed to have more children, and no one cared about paying more red envelopes, as long as Zhou Kai could afford the fine.
Guo Jia blushed and glared at him coquettishly. Does this guy have any control over his mouth?
Ge Xin was very surprised. "If you said your child was named 'Come and Go', I would have accepted it. But why didn't the following 'Come and Go', ...
"You don't understand." Zhou Kai gave him an unfathomable look.
"I'm asking you because I don't understand!" Ge Xin was irritated by Zhou Kai's eyes. He had to know the reason, otherwise he would be disappointed.
"We've walked through mountains and rivers." Zhou Kai gave these six confusing words, which made Ge Xin even more confused.
Zhou Xiang covered his mouth, turned his head and coughed, his face turning red.
Ling Ran quickly patted her on the back and glared at Zhou Kai fiercely, "Let's go to the gym after dinner."
"Just practice, who's afraid of who?"
Zhou Xiang, who had finally stopped coughing, asked his cousin, "Are you just calling me that to make it easier to say?"
"Of course," Zhou Kai nodded, "I can tell it's a whole family passing by."
Guo Jia said angrily, "Is my son's name just for you to make fun of me?"
"Wife," Zhou Kai coaxed her with a smug look, "Don't be angry, wife. Look at those brothers in the Ma Gua Wa Jia (coat and vest) outfit. Once their names are announced, they're instantly famous. Our son's name must be resounding, and it should carry both of our surnames. Isn't that right?"
"You're the one!" Guo Jia slapped him. "Eat your meal well, and I'll just watch you perform alone."
"Okay, let's eat." Zhou Kai obediently took the bowl and ate.
Only then did everyone understand what it meant to walk through mountains and rivers. When they thought of the famous people coming and going, they couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Father Zhou pointed at his nephew and said, "Have you decided to give your child the surname Zhou? You've made your parents so anxious, afraid that the child will have the surname Guo."
"Guo sounds nice too! Come over here."
"Okay, okay," Zhou's father almost choked, "You can play however you want. Stop going over these names over and over again."
After dinner, Zhou Kai picked up Lailai again. Guo Jia strongly asked him to put the child on the bed, otherwise he would not be allowed to see his son. Zhou Kai had no choice but to obey.
On the first day of the New Year, the Zhou family's residence was crowded with people paying New Year's greetings until three in the afternoon, and even during lunch time, the family was busy.
On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Zhou's mother took gifts to the second street of the town to wish Old Lady Liu a happy new year. Ling Quan and Dong Yunrong took gifts to Dong Yunyue's villa to wish her a happy new year. This year, because Dong Yunyue had a villa, the three siblings of the Dong family agreed to meet in the market town.
Since the day Dong Yunyue came to the party, Lu Yongan never left. He stayed at home honestly, cooking, washing clothes and cleaning. Seeing that he was so honest, Dong Yunyue decided to give them a chance, but remarriage was impossible, so they just had to make do with each other.
Lu Jing and her daughter, along with Zhou Yu's family, returned to the Zhou residence. Zhou Xiang took a closer look at his second sister, and she was indeed as different as Yan'er had said.
"What? Don't you recognize me?" Zhou Yu asked with a smile, his eyes curved like crescents.
"No," Zhou Xiang smiled calmly, "I just want to see how you've changed."
"Is it good or bad?"
"It has no effect on me." Zhou didn't want to answer her question directly. It was true that whether it was good or bad had nothing to do with him.
After Dong Yunrong and Ling Quan came back in the afternoon, they were impressed by the difference of their former brother-in-law. He used to not even help a fallen soy sauce bottle, but now he does all the housework properly.
"Think about it, you didn't see that Lu Yongan was busy cooking in the kitchen, and your aunt was just eating melon seeds and chatting with us. The status of the two was completely reversed, making us feel that this world is too fantastical."
The word "fantasy" is still a catchphrase used by Sun Tzu and others, and it feels very appropriate now.
"Isn't that good?" Zhou Xiang didn't think it was fantasy, it was just the bad nature of men to be humble. But she wouldn't say it out loud, otherwise her more traditional mother-in-law would think she was too sharp.
"Aunt has been in charge of the former Lu family for more than 20 years. For the rest of her life, it wouldn't be too much to let Lu Yongan take care of her. Besides, Aunt has given him a stable old age. Otherwise, which of his sons would be willing to take him in?"
"Right, right, right," Dong Yunrong was reminded of her elder sister's years of hard work after hearing what her daughter-in-law said. "I've really been fooled by his recent behavior! When I have nothing to do, I have to brainwash your aunt. She must not be easily moved by that person. If you are willing to live with her, then serve her. If you don't want to serve her, then get out."
On the third day of the Lunar New Year, Zhou Xiang and his family went to visit their godparents to pay New Year's greetings. After the villa in Guanjia Village was renovated, Zhou Xiang suggested that they get rid of the bad smell. It was not like they had nowhere else to live, so there was no rush to move. Therefore, this year they went directly to the warehouse building opposite to pay New Year's greetings.
When Zhou Xiang saw Jun Wanhua again, he was not surprised at all. The Jun family was not the kind of people who gave up easily. Over the years, Ma Zhao had accumulated a considerable amount of property, and now he had contracted the restaurant in the health park. Not to mention that Ma Baokun, the rich second generation, only lived in a market town. Even if he lived in a mountain valley with inconvenient transportation, the Jun family would find ways to hook him up.
I don’t know if it was because of the education she received from her family, but Jun Wanhua’s attitude was completely different this time. She was polite, reasonable and generous.
But in the eyes of Guan Zanxiang and Ma Zhao, they were even more unwilling to let their sons associate with him. This was too scheming.
When she saw Zhou Xiang, Guan Zanxiang immediately pulled her aside for help. Her son had been bewitched by Jun Wanhua and would not agree to break up no matter what.
After failing the college entrance examination again, Ma Zhao no longer agreed to let his son repeat the year, and he also stopped giving him pocket money, but he also did not stop their relationship.
This time, he simply brought her home for the New Year, saying that they would get married after the New Year. Even though his family didn't give him a dowry or a wedding house, he still wanted to get married and work to earn money. He didn't believe that his father, an illiterate man, could earn a considerable fortune, but he, a high school student, couldn't do it.
Ma Zhao was so angry that he beat him with a broom, but he was unwilling to change his mind.
"Think about it, why is it so hard for me? My parents cut off ties with me, and just when things finally warmed up, Ma Zhao is planning to cut off ties with his son again. Sob."
Guan Zanxiang couldn't help crying as she spoke. Zhou Xiang glanced at her drooping shoulders and the furrowed brows of his godfather and godmother. He patted her shoulder and said, "Because you and your godfather and godmother are warming up again, he knows that no matter how much he makes trouble, as long as the grudge is not unresolved by murder or arson, he will be able to return to his family in the end."
