After hearing this, Guan Zanli was no longer worried. During the market day, she asked her elder brother to go to Liu Town, while she and her elder sister stayed in the market town.
"Where's the parasol I want?"
"It's in that bag!"
Seeing that there were only 10 parasols, Zhong Xiong didn't know what to say to Zhou Xiang.
"Why don't you sell these parasols wholesale?"
"Haha, so you can only be led. Sun umbrellas are not suitable for the town, and Guan Zanli and the others don't go to the city to sell them. Why should I buy them wholesale? Just buy a few for my family to use. I guess my family won't use them. If I send it out to others, people will say I'm being pretentious."
"Then, then I bought it for nothing?"
"Are you stupid? She's afraid of what others might say, won't you support her? What a great opportunity to show your affection!"
Zhong Xiong grinned, thinking he could take the opportunity to get closer to her.
No one wanted to see his silly look, so they all lowered their heads to look for what they wanted.
Zhou Xiang chose an electronic watch for his elder brother and taught him how to use it and how to adjust the time.
Zhou Niao happily put it on his wrist. Zhou Hua picked one for himself, adjusted the time and date, put it on, and then silently took out another watch with a smaller dial and put it in his pocket.
Seeing this, Zhong Xiong also took two.
Ma Zhao coughed dryly, picked up two, turned around and left.
Wu Haotian took one, but Zhu Hang didn't take the other since he had a watch.
Zhou Xiang took out four more and handed them to Wu Haotian, "They're from Wang Qiao and Chen Ou."
"good!"
Wu Haotian took it with a smile. Zhou Xiang had always been fair to them. They had whatever they had. Now, she gave everyone a parasol.
"One for each of you, give it to your girlfriend or wife! Brother Wu, we'll talk about yours later. Maybe you'll get a better parasol later."
Wu Haotian's smile remained unchanged, "Okay!"
The men had no interest in the clothes and stopped treasure hunting.
Move everything aside and start setting the table.
Master Chen and Master Chen were invited to sit down. Zhong Xiong deliberately sat next to Master Chen, as he felt that he had met Master Chen too late.
After listening to Master Chen's story about the robbery, Zhong Xiong felt extremely regretful. He regretted not following along. Even if Ling Ran beat him up, so what? At least he could see the scene that could only be seen on TV!
What a pity!
Zhong Xiong, feeling sorry, planned to talk to Master Chen about the "robbers" again, but unexpectedly found that Zhou Xiang was looking at him coldly.
Then, when he saw Zhou's mother bringing out the dishes, he immediately shut up and said, "Well, let's talk about it tomorrow!"
"Aunt Jiang, I'll pick it up, I'll pick it up, you've worked hard."
The big bowl in Zhou's mother's hand was taken away by the enthusiastic Zhong Xiong. She was still a little confused, but forget it, there were other dishes to be served in the kitchen.
"Zhong Xiong, there should be more dishes in the kitchen."
"Okay! I'll go right away, right away."
Zhong Xiong put down the big bowl in his hand and immediately went to the kitchen to serve the dishes.
Master Chen lowered his head and chuckled. This Zhong Xiong was so interesting and shameless. He did not hide his admiration and fear for Zhou Xiang at all.
The dishes were all served, and Zhou's father came out. Chef Chen stood up and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Brother Zhou."
"It's not hard. When you come here, you must try our authentic home-cooked food. It's very different from Cantonese cuisine."
"Yes, Anhui cuisine is one of the eight major cuisines! We need to try it."
The two sat down at the same time and began the "duel" between Xuzhen Mandarin and Yangcheng Mandarin. Sometimes they had to rely on Ling Ran to translate.
Zhong Xiong greeted Master Chen, and the two of them communicated well. Zhong Xiong could speak Mandarin, and Master Chen's Mandarin was pretty good. As a result, the communication was very good and Zhong Xiong got Master Chen drunk.
Seeing that his nephew was drunk, Master Chen quickly covered his wine glass and strongly stated that he couldn't drink anymore because he had to drive tomorrow.
"We'll leave the day after tomorrow and spend the day here tomorrow."
Master Chen didn't respond to this. He realized that northerners are enthusiastic, and their way of showing enthusiasm is to keep urging you to drink and keep putting food into your bowl.
Zhou wanted to stop his father from forcing him to drink, "Dad, Master Chen and the others have worked hard driving, it would be best if they could eat more and rest more."
When Zhou's father saw his little girl speaking, he stopped urging her to drink and started serving her food instead.
Master Chen raised his bowl and said, "That's enough. I'm full."
Zhou's father had no choice but to put down the serving chopsticks. His little daughter said that when picking up food for guests, especially those from far away, one must use a separate pair of chopsticks.
Zhou wanted to know that people in his hometown were not too particular and would use their own chopsticks to pick up food for guests. Some people would even suck their chopsticks clean before picking up food, and then pick up food with a chopstick full of saliva, and the guests would find it difficult to refuse.
So, I specially taught my dad in the kitchen.
"Master Chen, when we northerners entertain guests, we always make sure they have good food and drink! You didn't get to drink, but you must have a full meal!"
"I'm full, don't worry!"
There was no hotel in the town, so Zhou wanted to ask Zhong Xiong and Ma Zhao to vacate a room, clean it up, and let Master Chen and Master Chen rest.
The two men cleaned up the room and carried Master Chen upstairs, lamenting that people in the south had poor alcohol tolerance.
Zhou Xiang scoffed at them angrily, "You've worked hard for two or three days and haven't had a good rest, yet you're drinking on an empty stomach? How do you entertain guests like that? You need to make sure people have food in their stomachs. Southerners are used to having a bowl of soup before meals.
Take them out for porridge and tofu pudding dumplings tomorrow morning. Don't randomly send them food; let them choose for themselves."
"Okay! Don't worry!"
Ling Ran accompanied Master Chen up the stairs. Seeing that his steps were steady, Zhou Xiang felt relieved.
Only then did Ling Ran plan to go home.
Zhou wanted him to take the parasol and sunglasses back as gifts for Uncle Ling and Aunt Ling.
Ling Ran readily agreed and was very happy to help his future daughter-in-law bribe her future parents-in-law.
Zhou Xiang didn't want to care about what was happening downstairs, nor did she want to care about what was happening upstairs. She was tired.
Brush your teeth, wash up, go back to your room and sleep, we'll talk about it tomorrow.
After waking up and finding two little babies beside her pillow, she laughed and said, this was forced!
Looking at their bulging stomachs while sleeping, Zhou Xiang tapped their little bellies.
Mother Zhou pushed the door open and saw that the two little ones were still asleep. She smiled and said, "If it were any other time, they would have been crying and making a fuss. Tell me, why are they so close to you?"
"I think it has something to do with dried fruit. It's good that you know it. Don't ask again in the future. It will rot in your heart."
Zhou's mother was shocked. Is there something wrong with the dried fruit?
Zhou wanted to understand his mother's doubts and tried to deceive her, "I made the dried fruits. They absorbed them in the womb. Maybe I have a smell that others can't feel. The baby is sensitive and feels close to me because I smell like dried fruits.
However, these things cannot be made known to outsiders, as they may lead to false accusations.”
Mother Zhou nodded repeatedly, "I understand. They say we are closely related by blood. However, this is also good. In the future, I won't raise him in vain."
"Yeah! It's good for us to be close to them. If they have high IQ, I'd be willing to take them under my wing."
