Tang Mei saw this and quickly helped, "Oh! Let me serve this soup, it's hot."
"Okay! Let's go together."
The two of them carried two dishes to the next door, "Sister Tang, it's time to eat. I brought two dishes to your house, so you can cook less."
In the kitchen, Tang Min looked at her mother-in-law. Her mother-in-law's frowning face immediately filled with smiles when she heard what was said outside.
He stood up and went out, "Oh! How can this be so embarrassing?"
"There's nothing to be embarrassed about. Sister Tang Min is busy at home and also with me. I feel bad about it. I brought two dishes and asked her to take some time off to eat. I think you must have worked so hard."
"It's not hard, it's not hard, Tang Min, go over and have dinner! They've come to treat us."
"Oh! All right!"
Tang Min took off her apron and left the kitchen.
"Let's go! I'll be waiting for you, Auntie. I'll come get the bowl and basin this afternoon."
"Okay, okay."
Zhou Hua and Zuo Heng also came back from school. Zhou Xiang and Tang Min squeezed on one side, Zhou Hua and Zuo Heng squeezed on the other side, and Chen Ou and Tang Mei sat on each side.
"Eat quickly! The food is getting cold. After you finish eating, put the soup in the pot." Zhou Xiang called out.
Seeing that Tang Mei was a little restrained, Chen Ou picked up some food for her, but Tang Min looked envious.
Zhou Xiang thought of the old lady just now and understood her difficulties. Not to mention the current era, even in the future, people in cities, especially the natives of big cities, have a sense of superiority. They think that marrying a girl from the countryside is an endless love for her, and she must devote everything to this family to repay this family's kindness to her.
Patting her shoulder, he handed her a piece of rabbit meat and said, "Come, try it. The rabbit is braised. Although there is less meat, it is chewy and delicious!"
Tang Min lowered her head and ate her food. This was how her life would be. Perhaps, if she helped her cousins at home, she would have more support in the county town in the future, and she could also ask the old lady at home to be less arrogant.
Zhou wanted Chen Ou to take care of Tang Mei while he would take care of Tang Min.
Today's lunch made Tang Min understand for the first time what it meant to be full and what it meant to be overfed. Even when she was pregnant, she didn't dare to eat too much for fear of being criticized by her mother-in-law.
After dinner, while Chen Ou was washing dishes in the kitchen, she told her cousin with red eyes that life in the city was not so comfortable, and people like Chen Ou should hold on to it.
City people are like sheep shit eggs with shiny surfaces.
Tang Mei remembered her cousin's words. When Chen Ou asked about the future arrangements, she only asked for it to be done as soon as possible, including a house. As long as she had a place to live, it would be fine. She was already 20 years old, which was considered an old girl in the countryside.
Chen Ou didn't understand any of this and could only look at Zhou Xiang. Zhou Xiang also felt completely in the dark as he had never seen anything like this before.
"How about this! Let's go back and find a date to go to your house to discuss the details. Even if all you ask is to give up the betrothal gift and you can go with us, we'll just put on a show.
At least there's a wedding process, right? So, after deciding on a date, there's the betrothal, and then there's the wedding itself—at least three steps.
I can't let the villagers talk about you, even if it's simple, I still have to take three steps."
Tang Mei nodded with emotion. This little girl Zhou Xiang was really considerate of other people's feelings.
Zhou Xiang: Haha, you're overthinking it. I just can't let the Gang of Six's first wedding be too simple. Otherwise, how will my second sister's wedding be organized?
After agreeing to come over within a week, Tang Min and her sister left. Zhou Xiang sent them to the next door and took back the basins and bowls.
Lock the gate and return to the town with Chen Ou.
In the Zhou family yard, the remaining members of the Gang of Six were all there.
Seeing the two people come back, Zhong Xiong immediately asked, "How is it? Ouzi, do you like it?"
Chen Ou nodded.
Zhong Xiong clapped his hands, "Oh my! Two of our six members have already been found. I suddenly feel a sense of urgency."
Ma Zhao slapped him, "You don't even have a house, why are you so anxious?"
"It's all Haozi's fault. He hasn't bought a house for us yet and insisted on buying one together."
"Do you think I want to live with you?"
"I don't want to live close to you."
The two of them started arguing again.
Zhu Hang asked, "What did you say next?"
Chen Ou briefly recounted the story, and Wu Haotian pondered, "This girl must have taken a special liking to you, and she also wants to leave that home as soon as possible. In the countryside, if you're 20 and unengaged, people will definitely gossip about you."
Wang Qiao continued, "Then do it as soon as possible!"
"The key is where to build the new house? Since we're getting married, my wife's family will be sending people to escort her. If they see the courtyard of the Water Conservancy Bureau, I'm afraid there will be a commotion on the spot. The dilapidated courtyard in the market town can be used as a cover, but it's about to be demolished, so it's too late."
Zhou Xiang asked, "Have you bought the house you rented before?"
Wu Haotian shook his head, "The owner doesn't want to sell it."
"Is it because you haven't paid enough? Once the money is in place, I will definitely sell it."
"not worth!"
"Okay! If it's not worth it, don't buy it. You can build a new house there."
"Will the homeowner be willing?" Wu Haotian asked.
Chen Ou also shook his head, "I don't want to use that as my wedding room. It's too messy and dirty."
"Oh! I haven't finished yet! Clean up a room to make the bridal chamber. When the bridegroom sees the conditions, they won't be able to cause any trouble. Secretly clean up the courtyard of the Water Conservancy Bureau. We can have some fun there tonight. After all, the bride doesn't have any dowry, so it doesn't count as breaking the rules.
Just a surprise for the bride. Hehehe, this should be called "repairing the plank road in the open while crossing Chencang in secret."
Everyone stared at her quietly, which made her feel uneasy. "What are you looking at me with? It's scary."
Zhong Xiong slammed the table and stood up, giving her a thumbs-up. "I admire you. You are so treacherous, so evil, and so insidious."
Ma Zhao was the second to express his opinion, "I like this proposal. It's like killing two birds with one stone! Not only can Ouzi have her wedding night in her own courtyard, but she can also ask the bride's escort to increase the price without any reason, and she can also give the bride a surprise. No, it should be three birds with one stone."
Chen Ou smiled and thanked Zhou Xiang, "Thank you, this is a great idea. She and I will have no regrets in the future."
Wu Haotian looked at the eldest brother. Is it good or bad to have such a sister-in-law? I heard that from today on, I have to rub my brother-in-law's ankles.
The boss seemed very happy.
Zhu Hang stood up and said, "I should go pick up your sister-in-law from get off work."
Five people waved to him, wife slave!
The five of them sat down and began to worry again, "We are all grown men, it's not possible to go to the door to discuss marriage!"
"What are you worried about? You call Auntie every day, shouldn't you ask her for help?"
"Yes! Please ask Aunt Jiang to help arrange a marriage. We can be engaged, and you can marry us."
So, when Zhou's mother got off work, she was surrounded by five young men and called them Aunt Jiang.
"Hey! Stop arguing, just talk!"
Chen Ou bowed to Zhou's mother and then told her his request.
