Guan Zanxiang, who returned to the kitchen to help, was still thinking about Zhou Xiang's last words, which were very philosophical about life. It was really not something a 20-year-old girl could say.
At this moment, a voice came from the yard, "Think about it!"
Zhou Xiang recognized his godmother's voice and immediately left the South Building, "Godmother!"
Aunt Guan was relieved to see that Zhou Xiang was fine. "Your godfather heard that your family had received a court summons, and he immediately rode his bike and brought me here. I'm glad everything is fine at home!"
Zhou Xiang felt very warm in his heart. His godfather and godmother were really a very loving pair of parents.
"It's okay! Isn't everything fine? Where's my godfather?"
"Your dad called me over to go fishing. You know what? There are a lot of people fishing in your park every day. The entrance fees from these fishermen alone can make a lot of money."
"It's alright! It was built for aesthetics, but I can't bear to let people play for free. I'll charge a fee so everyone has a place to go instead of being idle at home beating the kids or scolding the wife. Let's go inside and talk."
Aunt Guan was pulled into the dining room by Zhou Xiang. When Guan Zanxiang heard her mother's voice, she walked out of the kitchen. Seeing her own mother caring about other people's daughters, her heart ached. But who could she blame?
The four of them brought themselves to this state, and their parents were truly heartbroken.
"Mom!" Guan Zanxiang said awkwardly.
Aunt Guan was stunned for a moment, then responded calmly, "Well! Go help in the kitchen! I want to talk to my daughter."
This kind of cold treatment was the first time in Guan Zanxiang's nearly thirty years of life. It was so hard to accept, but he had to accept it.
"good."
Guan Zanxiang turned and went into the kitchen.
Aunt Guan felt very distressed when she saw the lonely back of her eldest daughter, but she couldn't be soft-hearted. It could be said that all four children were spoiled by her, so she had to listen to her husband and never recognize them.
The husband said, "You can live with whoever you recognize. It's easier for my goddaughter to take care of me alone. Just think about what kind of old age you will have if you live with them. Don't regret it. There is no medicine for regret in the world."
She refused to acknowledge him. If she stayed with her husband, they could keep each other warm when they were old. If she stayed with her children, no one would care about her when she was old.
Zhou Xiang held his godmother's hand, "Godmother! Sit down!"
Aunt Guan's rough hands were held by a pair of warm hands, and the warmth was transmitted from the fingertips to her heart in an instant.
She smiled again, "Okay."
Zhou Xiang went into the kitchen to make tea.
The couple of mothers-in-law who were chatting on the side immediately ended the conversation when they saw Aunt Guan and sat down at the dinner table to accompany the guests.
Hearing that they were worried about the subpoena, Dong Yunrong became angry again, "Zhang Hong is a real troublemaker."
Mother Zhou and Aunt Guan comforted her, saying, "The more she exaggerates, the worse she'll be when everyone knows the truth. Don't bother with her. She's just a clown. The more you pay attention to her, the more she'll act."
"Okay, okay! I'll just watch her performance quietly, and then I'll tell her the truth."
The three women drank fruit tea and chatted, looking very comfortable.
Soon, the loud voices of Zhong Xiong and others were heard outside the yard, and there was a lot of noise.
The people drinking tea in the house and cooking in the kitchen stuck their heads out to see what was going on.
Zhong Xiong came in holding a huge fish, and Ma Zhao, Chen Ou and Wang Qiao followed to escort him.
Behind the four of them, not only did the people who went fishing with them come back, but there were also a lot of people watching the fun.
Ling Ran walked at the end, followed by Uncle Chen.
When Zhou Xiang saw this scene, he knew it was related to Uncle Chen again.
Sure enough, Ling Ran walked over to her and said, "Uncle Chen caught this with his own bait. You can eat it without worry."
Zhou Xiang lowered his voice and scolded him, "Are you planning to lose all those huge fish?"
"Just keep raising it! You have to create some excitement, right? So as not to disappoint those people."
"Okay, you can get me some fish fry or catch some small fish."
"good!"
While they were talking, Zhong Xiong and Ma Zhao were preparing to kill the fish.
The women were also very surprised to see the big fish. They gathered around to watch, but Zhong Xiong sent them back to the kitchen to work.
Among the onlookers was the fishing expert, who squatted beside the huge fish, unconvinced. Why couldn't he catch such a huge fish? He prepared a lot of money with him every day, just to catch such a huge fish.
Xie Ling pointed at his back and said, "You can't eat this fish if you keep looking at it. Go back and fish! Didn't you say you wouldn't give up until you caught this giant fish? Didn't you say you'd treat me to a meal if you caught this giant fish? I'm waiting!"
The man stood up and said, "Don't worry! If I catch something, I'll definitely treat you to a meal. Look, I even changed my fishing rod to catch this big fish, fearing it wouldn't be able to handle its weight."
Xie Lin laughed at him, "Haha, we all use homemade fishing rods. Maybe the fish don't like those foreign ones, hahaha."
The man looked at his fishing rod, then at the rod that had caught the fish. He couldn't believe it. "Impossible! How could a fish weighing dozens of kilograms be caught with such a thin bamboo rod?"
Zhong Xiong pointed at Uncle Chen's rolled-up trouser legs and said, "We catch them in the river. Once they bite, we immediately tighten the fishing rod, bring them to the river, and then go in and catch them."
The man nodded and said, "Okay, I'll find a fishing partner too. I don't believe it yet. I have to catch this big fish."
The man left, and the onlookers also left. Zhong Xiong and his friends started to kill the fish.
Zhu Hang drove to the school to pick up the children, but a small car couldn't fit them all, so he drove Zhong Xiong and the others' pickup truck.
When the children came back, the Zhou family compound was in chaos.
Dong Yunrong liked it the most. "It's still so lively. My house is just me and Ling Quan every day. It's too quiet."
Zhou's mother laughed and said, "I've been making a fuss for two days and you've already got a headache. The noise is even louder than when people are going to the market."
Dong Yunrong nodded, "That's right. It's enough to have some fun occasionally. No one can stand it every day."
Aunt Guan was talking to her grandson Ma Baokun. Ma Baokun had also changed a lot. He no longer looked like a little bully. He leaned against his grandmother's legs and was very well-behaved.
Guan Bo was particularly concerned about Zhou Xiang's subpoena. Zhou Xiang told him not to worry, as Zhang Hong had done a good deed and promoted her.
Guan Bo was relieved to see that she could look at the incident from the other side, and he would help explain it clearly.
Zhou wanted to ask her godfather to look for some old-fashioned farm tools for her when he had nothing to do. In short, things that were common in rural areas in the past and were about to disappear and were no longer sold outside.
"What's it for?" Guan Bo wondered.
"For exhibitions, the house next to the blacksmith shop, I plan to turn these farm tools into an exhibition hall. You won't see them anymore, so I'll show them to everyone so they can remember."
"Okay!" Guan Bo understood. "Don't worry, I'll find it for you. I'll even find the horse trough and the cow trough for you."
Zhou Xiang nodded repeatedly, "That's the best. Let's get a hand-pushed mill and put it in the middle of the room so everyone can experience what it's like to push a mill."
Guan Bo clapped his hands, "Yes, let's make something like this that everyone has seen but never touched. It's so unique!"
"Yeah! The main attraction is its peculiarity."
