Guo Xuehua left happily. Zhou Xiang looked at her joyful back and sighed softly, hoping that her happiness would last forever!
The 18-year-old sister-in-law stays at home, separating the young child from his mother every day. I wonder what kind of weird family this is.
Zhou wanted to tell her mother that she had hired someone, and also told her mother the topic of the interview.
Mother Zhou asked worriedly, "Will there be any problems?"
"If it's really as you and I suspect, it's only a matter of time before the son is born, either here or somewhere else. Who doesn't want a son? And what girl here wouldn't find an excuse to come here? I've already interviewed a bunch of girls who are seventeen or eighteen today."
Mother Zhou sighed, "For a woman, from the moment she's born, she's disliked by her parents, to being disliked by her mother-in-law and husband, to being disliked by her son and daughter-in-law when she's old, her life's path is practically doomed."
Zhou Xiang thought about her later years in her previous life and became even more certain that it was best not to have an in-law family. If she was really lonely, she might as well give birth to a child herself!
"Mom! It's best for a woman to never marry."
"Silly! If you don't marry, people will talk about you."
"Who dares to come to me and say that?"
"Your father and I have to bear the pressure."
"Then I'll go out and live somewhere where no one knows me."
"So, what about your later years? What about when you're old and can't move?"
"Can I borrow your seed?"
Mother Zhou raised her hand and wanted to slap her, but then she looked at the kitchen knife in her hand and put it down again. "Have you really thought about it that way?"
"I've thought about it this way. When I'm done with everything and want to live an ordinary life, maybe I'll have a child that belongs only to me."
Mother Zhou sighed, "It's up to you! You're mature enough to think about what kind of life you want to live."
"Mom, if I had to start over, I would have to choose not to follow the old path. Getting married and having children is also the old path. And who can say that the other path I choose is necessarily the right one?
Only when you are about to leave do you realize what you have done wrong and what you have missed in your life."
"Okay, okay, you're right. I've decided not to care about any of your future choices. You can do whatever you want."
"Thank you, Mom!"
Mother Zhou lowered her head and waved the kitchen knife in her hand at her, "Get out, get out, I'm going to cook."
Soon, big drops of water fell on the chopping board.
Zhou Xiang heartlessly ran to the third floor to play with the little kid.
The two little guys were very excited and even babbled.
Zhou Yu smiled, "Are they calling you?"
"If you really learn to call me aunt first, then not only you will be jealous, but your brother-in-law will be jealous too."
Zhou Yu chuckled twice, "Hey, I'm not jealous anymore. It's none of my business whether your brother-in-law is jealous or not."
Zhou wanted to amuse the two babies and ignore their silly mother. Between a couple, if the child calls one of them first, the other will be jealous, not to mention that the one who calls first is "Auntie"?
In the afternoon, Zhou Xiang asked his mother to sew curtains. According to the measurements taken by Zhu Hang, Zhou Xiang cut happily.
Seeing the cloth being cut by her little girl, Zhou's mother felt her heart ached and numb. Just cut it! She'll feel relieved once it's done.
Zhou wanted to make it according to the large round hole curtains of later generations, which are simple and easy to install, and can also be disassembled and washed.
When she heard that a layer of hard shell needed to be added above and below the curtains, Zhou's mother asked her where to get it.
"Just hit the shoe shell!"
So, Zhou's mother was ordered to make the paste, and Aunt Wang helped her cut the cloth so that her mother wouldn't frown when she saw her cutting.
Every time a curtain was cut, Zhou Xiang would fold it up and mark it.
While her mother is away, she wants to cut all the curtains.
After cutting more than fifty windows, there was only a lonely piece of cloth left. Aunt Wang felt distressed and asked, "Zhou Xiang, why did you make such long curtains?"
"Looking good, from the top to the top, from the bottom to the ground, is beautiful!"
"No wonder your mom calls you a spendthrift! Just cover the windows!"
"No, you don't understand. It has to be even not only top to bottom but also left to right. And there have to be pleats in the middle to look beautiful. Wait until you hang it up and then you'll see!"
Aunt Wang looked at where the cloth was originally piled, then looked at the curtain cloth that had been cut, folded and divided into several piles. She covered her chest with her hands, and it seemed to hurt a little.
Zhou's mother cooked the paste and called for help from downstairs. Zhou wanted to pick up the scraps of cloth.
Aunt Wang kept holding on to them, "Think about it, these can also be made into shorts for outer wear."
"Auntie Wang, even if you make it for Wang Fang, she'll be standing by my window in shorts made of the same fabric as my curtains. Wouldn't she feel awkward?"
Aunt Wang thought about it and let go of her hand, hoping to avoid such a situation.
Seeing the little girl holding a large piece of "rags", Zhou's mother decided not to say anything and just followed the little girl's instructions to beat the cloth shell on the wooden board.
You know what, this big piece of cloth turns into a shell really quickly! Mother Zhou consoled herself in this way.
Because the cloth shells are drying, the work of sewing curtains has been temporarily stopped.
Zhou Xiang was about to go upstairs to cut the quilt cover when someone came into the yard and said, "Auntie, Zhou Xiang."
Zhou Xiang retreated back to the courtyard and saw that Liu Hui was alone. He asked, "Who brought you here?"
"Uncle Guan, he pointed it out to me outside and told me to come find you myself. He went back to the blacksmith shop."
"Well, come inside and sit down!"
I took Liu Hui into the living room and asked him to sit on the sofa. I went to the kitchen to make a pot of tea and explained who this was.
When Zhou's mother heard that this was the young man who had brought Guan Zanfu back from begging, she immediately went out to greet him, "Hello! Thank you for bringing Guan Zanfu back. Otherwise, my Zhou would feel guilty for the rest of her life. I don't know how to thank you enough."
"Auntie, you are too polite. I, I am just following my heart. I am also afraid that if something happens to him, my conscience will condemn me."
My conscience was pulled back by your Zhou Xiang.
"Have lunch here! Auntie will make you something delicious."
After Zhou's mother finished speaking, she went to the kitchen.
Zhou Xiang poured him a cup of tea and asked, "Is there something you want to talk to me about?"
"You haven't agreed to teach me martial arts yet!"
"I told you, I'm just strong, I can just kick people."
"Isn't it internal force?"
Zhou Xiang shook his head, "No, I don't know if there is internal strength or martial arts in this world. Mine is definitely not it."
Liu Hui was very disappointed.
Zhou wanted to change the subject, "What are your plans for the future?"
Liu Hui shook his head. "I don't know. I've spent all my money. Uncle Guan gave me some money, but I didn't take it. I felt like if I took the money, things would go wrong."
"Then, are you willing to accept my money?"
Liu Hui shook his head, "No, it's good that you owe me a favor. Otherwise, I can find something for me to do so that I can earn some money first."
"What can you do?"
Liu Hui was embarrassed. "I don't know anything, but I can learn."
"Then you can stay here first! After the National Day holiday, I will go to the county town and take you there to see what you are suitable for."
"You, you don't go to school?"
"I've been busy at home lately, so I've asked for leave."
Liu Hui said he was a little confused. She looked very idle, okay?
