Although Zhou Yidonggang has lived in the countryside all his life, he manages many clansmen and has great eloquence. Knowing that his niece is filial to the teacher, he tried his best to chat with Professor Chu and invited Professor Chu to visit the countryside when he is free to see the rural scenery of Zhoujia Village.
Professor Chu nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go for a walk when I'm free during the summer vacation."
As soon as lunch was over, Zhou Wang couldn't sit still anymore. He wanted to ask Ling Ran to take the family of three back to Zhou's house.
When Zhou's mother heard that they were going to look for clothes, she hurried to follow them. She had classified them by year and individual, so she didn't want them to be messed up.
Zhou Xiang sat with the teacher for a while, and waited until the teacher went back for lunch before returning to Zhou's house with his third uncle, asking him to pick some first.
They picked and chose until four o'clock, and then put the big and small bags into the back of the tractor. Of course, the melon seeds and flower seeds were taken back together. The free tours of Zhoujia Village have become very famous in Huai County and Gu County. The annual income has been increasing steadily. Coupled with the income from the winter watermelon season, every family's pockets are full.
"Third uncle, the village should buy a pickup truck. This tractor has been eliminated for a long time, and there are restrictions on entering the county town."
"Yes! I plan to buy one by the end of this year, but if I buy a pickup truck, I won't be able to drive it."
"Just wait for the driver to serve you! Find a young guy to learn how to drive and become the village's exclusive driver."
"That's what I said." Zhou Yidong laughed.
After seeing off his third uncle and his family, Zhou wanted to ask his mother to go back to the Zhou residence first. She packed up all the things that his eldest brother, third brother and parents needed to take with them, leaving only old furniture and a dozen cardboard boxes of old clothes.
Especially the four old dogs, they were all put into the space, and finally all of Dahuang's family was collected.
After locking the door and returning to Zhou's house, he put his personal belongings in his room. Then Zhou wanted to go back to his room, entered the space, talked to Da Huang for a while, and came out.
In the evening, Yuanyuan was brought here by Zhu Hang, carrying her schoolbag. "Mom and Dad, sister, Yuanyuan wants to come and live with her brothers and sisters."
Zhou Xiang smiled at Yuanyuan and said, "Yan'er and the others have been waiting for you all day. They thought you would come yesterday. Are you being too formal with your aunt? You are always welcome here. Go find them!"
After settling his daughter, Zhu Hang returned to the living room to talk to his father-in-law and mother-in-law. "I plan to sublet the stall. A Yu has also taken a six-month leave. We want to go out for a walk."
"That's good," Zhou's father nodded, "Let's go out for a walk and see the world. It will broaden her horizons and also broaden her mind."
Zhou Xiang thought of his second sister's past life and sighed, "Take her to see more famous places of interest."
"Yes!" Zhu Hang agreed, "We'll leave on the ninth day."
Zhu Hang couldn't say anything polite. His daughter almost grew up with her sister-in-law, so it would be fake if he was polite.
On the eighth day of the first lunar month, Zhou Wang arrived with a dozen young men, driving five four-wheel tractors with large cargo beds. Zhou wanted to arrange for them to move things, and they only moved the two duplex rooms upstairs in one trip.
Another trip in the afternoon, still to buy furniture from two duplexes.
It took two days on the ninth and tenth day of the first lunar month to move all the large furniture. On the eleventh day, we came to move small items, such as pots, pans, liquefied gas, honeycomb coal, and the large iron pots on the stoves in the four corners.
Zhou Wang, so eager to move things, even took back the toys in the glass playhouse. They were all things Fifth Aunt was planning to throw away anyway. Finally, he stared at the glass house and was about to dismantle the glass, but Zhou Xiang kicked him, "Will this thing be intact after you take it back? Go take down the air conditioner."
In the end, nothing was left of the Zhou family’s two buildings except the glass house and floor tiles that could not be demolished, not even the small bench for burning fire in front of the stove.
Looking at the empty building, Zhou Xiang couldn't help laughing. Could it be that the ancestors of the Zhou family were bandits?
On the twelfth day of the first lunar month, Lu Jing gave birth to a daughter in the town hospital, which made her cousin very happy. Their Xie family finally had a grandchild, and her cousin named her Xie Meng.
Zhou Xiang looked down at the little girl wrapped in the blanket next to Lu Jing. She hadn't opened her eyes yet. He didn't know if she was cute or not, but her facial features resembled Xie Chen, so she should be pretty good.
The corners of Xie Chen's mouth were almost pulled to his ears. He sat at the head of the bed and looked at the mother and daughter with a silly smile.
My cousin's mother and Xie Qian looked at the father and son coldly, thinking they were possessed. What was there to be happy about with a little girl? After carefully nurturing her for months, she ended up with a boy without a penis. Shouldn't she be giving a cold shoulder to Lu Jing, a tomboy?
Xie Qian also stared at her wrinkled niece. As a girl, she didn't know what her father and brother were so happy about. She glanced at Zhou Xiang beside her. Maybe, her father and brother didn't reveal their true thoughts for Zhou Xiang's sake?
Xie Qian looked with disgust at the large, black, scab-like mass on the baby's head, then at the wrinkled face and forehead that resembled an old woman. Her tone was filled with deep malice, "Zhou Xiang, do you think this child looks nothing like my brother?"
Zhou Xiang quickly turned to look at her, "I finally understand why you became the oldest leftover woman in the two centuries spanning the last century and this century."
Xie Qian's face changed, and she was about to retort, but Zhou Xiang didn't give her a chance to speak. He continued, "Because you are the most vicious woman in the world. Anyone with eyes can see the word vicious written directly on your face, because appearance reflects the heart!"
After saying that, he pushed the person out of the ward and said, "Go away, go back to your bed and lie there with maggots. Don't disgust me here. Get out!"
Xie Lin and Xie Chen were also angered by Xie Qian's words. Before they could lash out, Zhou Xiang exploded and kicked them out of the ward.
Xie Chen quickly comforted his fiancée, saying that he only had his fiancée in this life, and that she was his mother and sister, and that it was right for Lu Jing not to want to marry him.
Xie Lin slapped his daughter directly. "You are such a disgrace! You can't get married, so you just hide at home. Who told you to embarrass yourself out here? Do you believe I can make you mute with some mute potion? Idiot!"
After scolding his daughter, he turned around and scolded his wife, "Do you want to go back to your mother's family? Don't think that I can't send you back just because your parents are gone. You still have your brother and sister! You still have your nephews! You still have your great-nephews! As long as they are here, even if your mother's family is still here, I can still send you back. You are getting more and more stupid as time goes by."
My cousin's mother's face was pale. She was already over sixty years old. If she was sent back to her parents' home, it would bring shame to her family. Her brother and younger brother warned her many times, asking her to live a good life and not to cause trouble for her family. Moreover, she now lived in a villa, which was something others could not even dream of. Thinking of this, she quickly pulled her daughter who was covering her face with her hands and crying.
"Don't be ridiculous, she's your niece. Come on, go home."
With just a few words, without even asking Xie Qian to apologize, he dragged her away.
Zhou Xiang sighed, "Uncle, you are still not cruel enough. Xie Qian is already 33 years old. You should have forced her to marry off earlier. If she married a vicious man like that, she would be obedient.
She actually looked down on Mengmeng because she was just a little girl, so she said that on purpose. Isn't she a little girl herself? She has been spoiled to the point of not knowing right from wrong, and yet she still has a son-orientated mentality. She's sick!
