Looking at her brother-in-law from her previous life sweating profusely in front of her, she couldn't bear it after all. Although he had been a gigolo all his life, he had also taken care of their small family inside and out.
Zhang Lian pushed his bicycle into the yard and came out to sit in the pavilion.
Zhou Xiang brought a glass of boiled water and placed it in front of him. "Drink some water! Don't be restrained. This chair can rock. There's no need to try to keep it still."
"Oh." Zhang Lian's face immediately turned red.
Zhou Xiang sat down opposite him and asked, "The Zhang Jiazhong you're talking about is my mother's classmate, right?"
Zhang Lian nodded, "It's a junior high school classmate."
"Are you still studying?"
"I graduated from high school."
"Graduated from high school? That means you didn't get into any school!"
"I, I repeated a year, but I couldn't pass the exam, so I just took my diploma and didn't take any more exams."
"What a shame! The high school department in Liuzhen is not good. You shouldn't still be in Liuzhen High School if you're repeating a grade."
"You understand this too?"
"I study, too! So I need to pay more attention to this aspect."
Zuo Heng and Zhou Hua were not affected and continued reading their books.
Zhang Lian looked at them and asked Zhou Xiang, "Are those two your brothers?"
"One is my brother, and the other is my brother's classmate. They came here to play during the summer vacation."
"You're in junior high school?"
"No! For next year."
"oh."
The conversation fell silent, and Zhou Xiang didn't want to say anything more to him. They probably wouldn't have much interaction in this life.
Zhou Yu got up after a good sleep and prepared to cook.
"Sister, have you bought some vegetables?" My second sister's loud voice came from the yard.
"I bought it, and it's all in the kitchen!" Zhou Xiang also shouted back in a loud voice.
"Brother Zhang, please sit here! I'll go in and help with the cooking."
Zhang Lian stood up embarrassedly, "Can I help too?"
"No, just take a rest!"
"No, I can help you light the fire."
"No, my family burns coal."
Zhou Xiang refused any opportunity for him to be alone with his second sister.
In the kitchen, Zhou Yu, dressed casually, was washing rice.
"Second sister, there are guests at home, please give me half a bowl of rice and put on your clothes properly."
Zhou Yu's still confused mind immediately cleared up, "Then you wash the rice, I'll go change clothes."
Taking the rice washing basket, Zhou Xiang added half a bowl of rice so that the young man could eat it.
After putting the rice into the pot, Zhou Yu dressed neatly and went into the kitchen.
Zhou Xiang took a look and nodded secretly. Ever since his second sister wore the princess dress that time, it seemed like she had unlocked the dressing skills. She could wear each outfit in a unique style.
With such a gap, the person outside won’t covet it anymore, right?
When Zhou's mother got off work, she was surprised to see a young man sitting in the pavilion.
Zhang Lian immediately stood up and said, "Aunt Jiang, right? I'm Zhang Jiazhong's son."
Zhou's mother immediately put on a smile and asked, "Oh, is your father okay?"
But he was secretly on guard in his heart, thinking that this was the eldest son-in-law from the previous life that his little girl mentioned.
With dark skin, medium height and a simple smile, he looks honest, steady and reliable.
But the arrogance was still revealed in his eyes. Graduating from high school was indeed a relatively high level of education in this day and age.
In her past life, why did she agree to this marriage? Was it because of his education level?
How could he not see the obvious arrogance in his eyes? Was his eyes clouded with mucus?
If you have the ability, you can get into a normal school! If you can't get in after repeating the year, what's there to be proud of?
"My dad is fine. He asked me to come here today. Come, I want to borrow some money. I need it urgently."
I don’t know if it’s because she knew everything in advance, but Zhou’s mother looked down on him for his behavior.
"Oh, how much?"
“20.”
"Okay, I'll get it for you after dinner."
In the past, Zhou's mother would think for a long time if someone asked her to borrow two dollars. But now, with the several thousand dollars given by her little daughter as a foundation, she can easily lend 20 dollars.
Zhang Lian breathed a sigh of relief. 20 yuan was half a month's salary for Aunt Jiang. When he came, his father told him that if he couldn't borrow 20 yuan, he could borrow 10 yuan.
However, the Zhou family was different from what my father said. They obviously did not seem to be short of money. It was not because Aunt Jiang was so straightforward in borrowing money, but because this pavilion had seven iron pillars after careful observation. Most of the swing chairs were made of iron.
Ironware is relatively expensive. I guess this pavilion costs nearly a thousand yuan. I was confused when I came to this conclusion.
Where does the Zhou family get the money? Dad said that although Uncle Zhou and Aunt Jiang both get salaries, the burden is heavy.
Can a person with a heavy burden spend nearly a thousand dollars to build a place just for studying?
Zhou wanted to come out and ask people to come in for dinner, "Brother Zhang, come in, wash your hands and eat."
Zhang Lian was shocked again when he entered the bathroom. He needed a room and a sink just for washing?
The toilet next to it is even more unbelievable. Wouldn’t it be smelly if the toilet is in the yard?
Seeing him looking in the direction of the toilet, Zhou Xiang called his third brother, "Third brother, take Brother Zhang to the toilet and teach him."
"Okay!"
After coming out of the toilet, Zhang Lian was almost lost. The toilet, no, it should be called a bathroom, was also unique.
Everything about the Zhou family was different from what he had heard.
Sitting in the main room, you can hear the whirring ceiling fan above your head, which can only be seen in the offices of large government agencies.
Father Zhou greeted the guest, "Li'an, don't be polite, just treat it like home. Want to drink?"
Zhang Lian shook his head, "No, I won't."
"Oh, drink soda then."
Zhou Xiang put a bottle of soda in front of him and gave a bottle to each person in the family. Zhou's father drank beer.
Zhang Lian picked up the bottle and took a sip. It was cool.
"Is it good? I put it in well water to cool it down."
"It's delicious, sweet and sour."
Zhou Yu chuckled, where did the stupidity come from?
Zhou Xiang glared at his second sister and asked, "Do you want to repeat the days of your previous life?"
Zhang Lian looked in the direction of the laughter, and the first thing he saw was a pair of eyes curved with laughter, then a round face and thin red lips.
Then there are the watches on the wrists and the fashionable clothes on the bodies.
Is this the eldest daughter of the Zhou family? She looks just like a city dweller.
Zhou Xiang caught a glimpse of Zhang Lian's eyes that seemed to be looking at goods, and felt very uncomfortable. No matter how bad his second sister was, she was still his second sister, and he would not tolerate others to be picky and presumptuous.
"Ahem, Brother Zhang, eat some vegetables." He said as he put a piece of meat into his bowl.
Zhou's mother also noticed that look and felt even more disdainful.
Zhang Jiazhong is an honest and decent man, so why is his eldest son so frivolous? Rural people read too much and think highly of themselves.
Zhang Lian came back to his senses and said, "Okay, no need to ask, I'll pick it up myself."
After lunch, Zhou's mother handed Zhang Lian 20 yuan and said, "Didn't you say you needed it urgently? I won't keep you here. Come and visit us when you have time."
"Okay, I'll go back now. I'll come when I have time."
Zhou's mother was slightly stunned. She didn't expect that he would continue with the polite words she just said casually.
