Chapter 2020 Brother Huai'an, Uncle Zhou is here
The family had a lively dinner, and Zhou's father sent the old man back to his eldest brother's house.
Li Yinfu, the eldest sister-in-law of the Zhou family, stood at the gate of the courtyard and watched the father and son approaching one after the other. She looked at Old Man Zhou with a fake smile and said, "Old man, what delicious food did the second son's family prepare for you?"
Old Master Zhou said unhappily, "Lazy tofu, you find it troublesome when I ask you to cook." Then he turned around and waved at Father Zhou, "Go back, it's not like I don't know the way."
"Okay, I'll go back first."
Father Zhou turned and walked to the edge of the vegetable field. He saw a bundle of bamboo strips piled on the edge of the field. He pulled out a two-finger-wide bamboo strip and took it to Zhou Yiding's house.
As soon as I walked to the gate of the courtyard, I heard the sound of drinking and playing finger-guessing games from inside, "Five champions, six six six..."
As soon as I opened the gate, I saw Zhou Huaian with one foot on a bench, happily drawing with He Dakuan.
"Brother Huai'an, Uncle Zhou is here." Sister Zhou, who was sitting on the steps, called out, and then smiled and greeted Father Zhou, "Uncle Zhou, come in and sit for a while?"
"Little sister, there's no need to bring the stool!" Zhou's father waved his hand politely and frowned at the four people in the main room.
Zhou Huaian turned his head and saw Zhou's father standing at the door. He quickly tore off the note on his forehead and ran to the gate. He stopped a few steps away from Zhou's father and looked at him defensively, "Old man, why are you here?"
He was very familiar with the old man's expression. The hands behind his back must be holding a bamboo stick or a bamboo piece.
Father Zhou looked at him expressionlessly and said, "Please, Uncle Zhou!" Before he finished speaking, he raised the bamboo stick and hit him.
"Ah~" Zhou Huaian held his head skillfully, bent down, and jumped out from under his armpit, running away like a rabbit.
Zhou's father chased after him with a bamboo stick.
The four people in the room saw the father and son disappear in the blink of an eye. He Dakuan sighed with gloating, "It's bad, it's bad for the youngest."
Cai Ermei shook her head, "Tsk tsk, a man in his twenties still has to get beaten, it's too embarrassing for a man."
Zhou Huaian ran into the yard like a gust of wind, went straight to the west wing, pushed the door open with one hand, fell on the bed and shouted dissatisfiedly: "Too much, I am already a married man, and you still take a bamboo stick to beat me, how can I face people in the future?"
Father Zhou stood at the door holding a bamboo stick, "Bean sprouts can reach the sky, but they are still a small dish! If your child doesn't obey you at the age of eighty, I will still beat him."
Zhou Huaian pulled the quilt over his head and pretended not to hear.
Father Zhou pointed at Zhou Huaian on the bed with a bamboo stick and said, "When you come out, I will deal with you."
As a father-in-law, it was not appropriate for him to enter his son and daughter-in-law's room. After saying something, he threw the bamboo stick on the ground and turned to walk towards the main room.
Yang Chunyan returned to the room carrying a basin of hot water, closed the door, walked to the corner of the bed with the water, and put down the basin.
Zhou Huaian heard the noise, pulled back the quilt and looked at her, "Yan'er, have you cooked the stone crab?"
"It's cooked!" Yang Chunyan glanced at him indifferently, walked over, opened the cabinet, took out a cotton vest with a white background and small light blue flowers, and a pair of cotton underwear of the same color, went to the corner of the bed to wipe her body clean, changed her clothes, and left with the basin.
Seeing that she ignored him, Zhou Huaian grumbled in dissatisfaction, "You heartless bitch, I was just slacking off thinking about your love of eating rock crabs..."
Yang Chunyan came back with the bath water, glanced at Zhou Huaian who was lying on the bed with his legs crossed, and said unhappily, "Why don't you wash your face and feet?"
Zhou Huaian said in a muffled voice: "I will go wash after the old man falls asleep."
After they got married, the old man stopped entering their room, and it was safer to wait until he fell asleep before going out.
Yang Chunyan pulled over a stool, sat down against the cabinet, and looked at Zhou Huaian indifferently, "Then you come down, I want to sleep, and I have to go dig herbs to sell tomorrow."
Zhou Huaian suddenly remembered his pockets which were cleaner than his face, and the cigarettes he had run out of. "Wife, are there any valuable herbs?"
Yang Chunyan glanced at him and said, "Didn't you hear what Doctor Wang said?"
"I'm asking you if there are any herbs that are more valuable?" Zhou Huaian emphasized, and then said, "Of course I remember what Doctor Wang said. Wet Pueraria root is three cents per pound, Cirsium chinense is six cents per pound, and Chuanxiong is one dime per pound..."
He glanced at her proudly and said, "I have a very good memory. If I hadn't had my tail cut off and no one attended classes, I might have been a national hukou."
"Raise the pillow a little higher, and you can have anything in your dream." Yang Chunyan took off her shoes, climbed onto the bed, and closed her eyes.
Zhou Huaian was choked by her, and thinking of his pocket, he shamelessly moved to her side and gently pushed her, "Yan'er, how about we have a discussion?"
Yang Chunyan didn't even turn her head, "You say!"
Zhou Huaian simply crawled to the opposite side of her, looked at her and said, "Yan'er, I'll help you dig herbs, can you give me some money?"
I've been waiting for you to say this.
Yang Chunyan sat up and looked at him calmly, "Do you really want to go dig herbs? You won't do the same as today, where you ran away halfway and couldn't even find your shadow?"
Zhou Huaian looked at her with a playful smile, "Look at what you said. We've been married for more than half a year, and you still don't know my temper!"
Yang Chunyan glanced at him and said, "I know. That's why I asked you!"
Zhou Huaian felt that this was a bit hurtful to his self-esteem, and after thinking for a while he said, "If I run away halfway, you won't accompany me to the toilet at night."
Yang Chunyan nodded readily, "Okay, we'll split the money 20-80."
"Twenty-eight!" Zhou Huaian looked at Yang Chunyan with surprise, "Yan'er, you are so nice..."
"You're really bold." Yang Chunyan raised two fingers at him, "You two, I'm eight!"
The blow was quite big. Zhou Huaian glared and raised two fingers, shaking them back and forth in front of Yang Chunyan, "Are you kidding me? You give me eight and I give you two. That's too much. I'm a seven-foot-tall man, and you only give me two."
Yang Chunyan nodded, "Yes! To be honest, I gave you the second one because we are a couple."
Zhou Huaian rolled his eyes, "Then I should thank you too!"
"Go if you want!" Yang Chunyan lay down, closed her eyes and ignored him.
Seeing that she was determined, Zhou Huaian felt that the 20:80 split was too unfair and that she might as well sleep at home instead of working herself to death.
On second thought, 28 is 28.
As a couple, what's hers is mine. Even if the meat is rotten, it's still in the pot. "Fuck you! You stingy woman, you have to keep your word."
Yang Chunyan glanced at him and said, "Don't worry, even though I'm a woman, I know that one must keep one's word!"
Zhou Huaian knew that she had something else in her words, so he stepped forward and said with a smile: "Wife, I was thinking about your love for eating rock crabs this afternoon, so..."
Yang Chunyan didn't say anything, just looked at him indifferently, "…" Make it up, let me see how you make it up?
Zhou Huaian looked at her and for some reason couldn't continue speaking...
He went into the city before dawn and went back to work. Yang Chunyan was tired after a day's work and didn't have the energy to talk to him any more. "I'm going to sleep now. You should also go wash your face and feet before going to bed. You have to get up early tomorrow."
