When Zhou saw that his third brother was almost a head taller than him, he wailed, "I eat just as much as you do! Why am I not growing taller or gaining weight?"
Zhou Hua comforted her, "You're not short, you're over 1.3 meters tall."
"But a year and a half ago, you were just over 1.1 meters tall, just like me."
"I exercise a lot, maybe you should exercise more."
"Then teach me!"
Zhou Hua was about to nod when he saw Zuo Heng shaking his hands violently. He immediately thought of his sister's unique motor skills and shook his head instead.
"I don't have time."
"Humph!" The only person in the family who has problems with his motor nerves is his second sister. When she plays shuttlecock and jumps, she jumps very high.
Sister Tang from next door was waving again. Zhou wanted to go out, "Sister Tang."
"Is your whole family here?"
"Um!"
"Someone in this big courtyard has taken a fancy to that Wang Qiao."
Zhou Xiang immediately perked up, "Who is it?"
"Next door to Sister Song."
"The first one in the west end?"
"Yes!" Tang Min nodded.
"It seems like he only has one daughter in his family, and I heard she was adopted!"
"Yes! All the elders in the courtyard know that his family adopted a daughter and planned to take in a son-in-law."
"Then tell me what his family's temper is like. I want to hear it first. You hang out with Sister Song a lot."
"I heard that Old Wei was infertile, and none of his brothers had children either. Only his elder brother had a son and a daughter, so they adopted a daughter to him.
Old Wei is a relatively honest man. You've met his wife before, even saying hello when buying groceries. Both of them are ordinary workers here. They've always had trouble finding a son-in-law because they want to marry him. Those from the city don't want to be live-in sons-in-law, and those from the countryside don't like them. They're most afraid of having a bunch of poor relatives they can't get rid of.
This has been delayed until the 21st. In recent months, Wang Qiao, Zhong Xiong and others often came to see Chen Ou, and were seen by Old Wei's wife. She liked Wang Qiao at first sight and said that he looked honest and steady like Chen Ou, so she asked Sister Song about him.
Sister Song knew that Chen Ou was my cousin's husband, so she said it would be better for me to handle this matter, although she also wanted to make the money.
"It sounds like an ordinary family, but I think it's inappropriate for them to marry Wang Qiao into the family. You can see that Wang Qiao and his family have extraordinary futures.
If they really want to succeed, unless they get married, both of them will be unemployed and they can secretly have another child to carry on the Wei family line.
If his family agrees, I'll go ask Wang Qiao."
Tang Min nodded, "I'll go talk to him right away."
"Okay, go ahead!"
Zhou's mother asked Zhou Xiang who had entered the room, "Why did Tang Min look for you?"
"Introduce someone to that group of people!"
"who?"
"Kingsbridge!"
Zhou's mother was silent.
"Mom, do you have any objections?"
Mother Zhou hesitated and said, "I, I actually wanted to introduce Zhang Jiazhong's daughter to Wang Qiao, but I was afraid Zhu Hang might have some ideas, so I gave up."
Zhou Xiang also fell silent. In her previous life, Zhang Jing married a 20-year-old rural man at the age of 22. But a few days after the marriage, the man ran away with a girl from the same village.
The village had to pool all its manpower to find him. How could people from the same village and with the same surname get together?
When the man came back, he couldn't change his heart and often said he wanted to go out to work. Zhang Jing stayed in that family and gave birth to two daughters and a son. It was not until she was in her forties that the man finally changed his heart and came home.
But his youth is wasted and his years are gone, so why should he stay with a man like this?
I asked myself, and Zhang Jing replied: "It was because my family was poor that I waited until I was 22. It was so difficult as a girl, so how could I still be popular as a woman? I am protecting my child. I don't want a man's heart, I just want my child."
Sighing, Zhou Xiang said, "Let's see what happens here. They want to marry me in, but I'm not willing. If that doesn't work out, I'll ask Zhu Hang."
Zhang Jing is a rational and capable woman, perhaps suitable for Wang Qiao's occasionally impulsive personality.
"good!"
On the dining table, there were translucent shredded sweet and sour pork ribs, four lion's heads as big as fists, steamed mandarin fish, stir-fried zucchini, cucumber mixed with vermicelli, and peanuts mixed with sugar.
Everyone was drooling at the sight, and Zhou wanted to give a thumbs up to his second sister and her husband. "Second sister, future brother-in-law, the dishes you two made together are truly delicious."
Zhou Yu nodded. "That's right. How many times have I been glared at by my dad in the past year? I have to make some progress, right?"
"Dad, if you want Second Sister's cooking skills to improve, glare at her more."
Father Zhou nodded, and Mother Zhou patted her head gently, "Can't you sincerely praise your second sister for once?"
"I praised it!"
"But you teased her."
"Hehe, that means I have her in my eyes, second sister, look, my eyes are full of you."
Zhou Yu turned his head away, not wanting to look at those big eyes? He was just bullying himself because his eyes were too small to see anyone's reflection!
Zhu Hang smiled and said, "Sister, what your second sister expects is that my eyes are full of her."
"Ugh! Are you going to let me eat?"
You can't live without showing off your love for the day, right?
"Okay, okay, eat your meal well." Zhou's mother made the final decision.
In the afternoon, Tang Min came over and said that the Wei family did not agree and that he had to be a live-in son-in-law.
"Then let's just turn it down. They're doing very well, so there's no need for them to be live-in sons-in-law. They're grown men, and they have money and a house, so why would they want to be so uncomfortable?"
Tang Min nodded. She didn't think highly of the Wei family either. Their conditions were ordinary and they were picky about who would marry into the family.
I didn’t think the Wei family was picky before. After all, they are city people, the couple have jobs, and their daughter also found a temporary job this year.
Now looking at the life of the Zhou family, I realize that that is what it means to live. The people in the Water Conservancy Bureau all live an ordinary life.
Old Wei was rejected, but he didn't mind it much, because he had been rejected many times when seeking a son-in-law.
But his wife was a little dissatisfied. "He's from the countryside, 26 years old, I wonder what kind of person he can find in the future."
"Okay, stop nagging. If marriage fails, do you still want to make enemies? Can't you see the Zhou family's attire? Stop saying things that offend others."
"Okay, okay, okay, you make sense, okay? I won't say anything more."
Wei Juan was not convinced. The city people rejected her, so why did Wang Qiao, an old rural man, reject her?
Zhou Xiang began to pry into Zhu Hang's thoughts. Zhu Hang was confused by her topic and said, "Sister, just get straight to the point."
"Oh! My mother wants to introduce Zhang Lian's sister to Wang Qiao."
“It has nothing to do with me!”
"I'm afraid you might have some thoughts. After all, if this works out, the Zhang family will become your brother's in-laws. Wouldn't that bother you?"
"Let's not talk about Zhang Lian's affairs, let's just talk about his sister's character."
"He has three brothers, and she's the only girl. She's very capable and sensible, but she's an average-looking girl, a little over 1.6 meters tall."
"Ask Wang Qiao about this. If he agrees, that's fine. I don't mind. I can't wait to see Zhang more often and thank him!"
"Well, your attitude of showing off your affection is not good. Sooner or later you will get beaten up."
