Chapter 517 518: Is it easy for me?
Just as Zhou Huaian had finished pasting the door gods, Zhou Huairong came over and said, "The money is still here with me, you can take it and put it away." Then he picked up the basket and said, "She saw that Chunyan liked to eat peach cakes, so she bought some back."
Zhou Huaian felt happy when he saw Zhao Huifang thinking about Yang Chunyan, "There are so many, how long will it take to finish them?"
"Your sister-in-law said that it's freshly made and it won't go bad if you eat it slowly!" Zhou Huairong said with a naive smile.
"Thank you, sister-in-law." Zhou Huaian took the basket, went back to the house to put the money away, and then went to Zhou Huaishan's house.
Li Qiuyue still felt a little embarrassed when she saw him. As soon as Li Xiaolin saw him, she took a handful of candy from the small pocket of her smock and handed it to him, "Dad, have some candy!"
Zhou Huaian looked at the three candies in her hand and felt that his love for the little one was not in vain. He pulled her little hair and said, "Be good, there are some at Daddy's house, including White Rabbit!"
Zhou Xiaolin shook her head, "Rabbit is not candy!"
Zhou Huaian remembered that the child had never eaten White Rabbit before, "It's candy! If you don't believe me, go find Aunt Yao and ask her to give it to you to try and see if it tastes good."
"Oh!" Zhou Xiaolin ran towards the gate of the courtyard with her short legs.
Li Qiuyue smiled awkwardly and brought a chair over, "Youngest one, sit down. I'll go to the backyard to call your third brother!"
"No, I'll go find him!"
He went to the backyard and saw Zhou Huaishan standing on the bamboo ladder. He smiled and stepped forward to help, "It will look more festive if you put up the Spring Festival couplets!"
Zhou Huaishan nodded and asked, "Why are you here? Is there something wrong?"
Zhou Huaian made up an excuse and said, "Please go over and help carry the things."
"There's also a chicken coop door, just put it up and go."
The two brothers put on their New Year's gifts and walked towards Zhou Huaian's house together. When they were almost at the gate of his courtyard, he hugged Zhou Huaishan and said, "Third brother, I heard that you have good luck with women recently!"
Zhou Huaishan was confused. He stopped and looked at him, pointing at himself, "I'm lucky in love?" Then he shook his head, "You're talking about yourself, right?"
"Don't change the subject!" Zhou Huaian looked at him with a playful smile, "I heard that the White Bone Demon often comes to you and talks and laughs with you!"
"That's not true at all!" Zhou Huaishan's face turned red after hearing this, and he asked angrily: "Who is the gossiper who said that? I'll tear his mouth apart!"
"Look, your face has turned red!" Zhou Huaian felt something was wrong after seeing this, and he lit a cigarette and handed it to him, "I feel sick when I see that White Bone Demon, and I'm afraid I'll have nightmares at night if I look at her for one more second!"
Zhou Huaishan took the cigarette and took a puff. "Li Chuntao stopped me to help bring things a few times. Ye Laoyao was there twice. Every time she gave me money, and I helped buy the things. Sometimes she came to get them, and sometimes Ye Laoyao came to get them.
I also think this woman is such a spendthrift. The money that Ye Laoyao earned from digging truffles with her lame leg was all wasted on her buying those cosmetics and powders. She puts them on her face like a female spy in a movie.
Zhou Huaian's mouth twitched. She is clearly the White Bone Demon, and also a female spy in a movie. I think you have become fond of her after seeing her a few times.
"That's nothing to complain about. Then why do people say you guys are talking and laughing and seem pretty close?"
Zhou Huaishan hesitated for a moment after hearing this. "The only thing that can make people talk about it is a few days ago. I was delivering vegetables to Ning'an and came back. When I rode to Fangtian intersection, I saw Li Chuntao getting off a tractor. She stopped me and asked me to give her a ride. I let her get off when we got to the bridge."
Zhou Huaian came forward and looked at him steadily, "Did the White Bone Demon sit in your back seat normally? Didn't he hug your waist?"
Zhou Huaishan's face turned red again, and he stammered, "You also know that the bad road at the bend of Guanyin Mountain is a bit bumpy. She, she hugged my waist, and I, I felt uncomfortable all over, and she even giggled..."
"Fuck! You are so shameless!" Zhou Huaian slapped him on the shoulder and said bitterly, "Third brother, you said that to me last time, look at yourself..."
Zhou Huaishan hurriedly said, "Youngest, don't overthink it. I didn't do anything. I ignored her after that!" He raised his hand and said, "If I tell even a lie, then..."
"I believe it!" Zhou Huaian interrupted him and put his arm around his neck, "You swore and swore like an old woman. You are my brother, why shouldn't I believe you no matter what your temper is! I'm just afraid that the White Bone Demon has too many tricks and you can't resist it!"
Zhou Huaishan thought about his feelings at the time, "That's right! She hugged my waist tightly and leaned her head on my back. I was so scared that my heart was beating so fast that it seemed like it was going to jump out, and she was giggling..."
Oh no, a man who has never had any experience is just not capable of this. He will blush and his heart will beat fast when he is seduced. He is attracted by the White Bone Demon's tricks!
Zhou Huaian felt that he needed to take a few more shots of vaccination, "Third brother, I'm telling you, don't be nice to her if she stops you from bringing things next time. Otherwise, if something really happens and Ye Laoyao finds out, think about those people in the village who were caught having affairs, they were stripped naked and tied at the entrance of the village, and their ancestors were embarrassed."
Zhou Huaishan blushed as he thought about it. "Don't worry. I really didn't pay any attention to her after that. To be honest, I was also afraid that if there was something going on between me and that woman, my husband and I would be furious if they knew about it. I also felt that that woman was not a decent person. How could a decent woman hug another man's waist?"
Zhou Huaian looked at him seriously and said, "If you really hook up with that woman, I will not recognize you as my third brother." He felt that his life was too difficult for him. He had to lead his brothers to make money and also had to take care of his belt!
Zhou Huaishan hurriedly said: "I swear, I will never do such a thing, let my little dick rot!"
"Of course I believe you, otherwise I wouldn't have come to you to talk about this." Zhou Huai'an paused, "Look at how Li Wu used to earn money by carrying coal in the coal mine every day, and how did Zou Cuifen treat Li Xiaoping?
"All the good food and clothes he had brought to her were a burden to him. He abused Xiaoping and even cheated on him. Li Wu said he regretted it so much that the woman never considered him her man, but just a workhorse to help her make money. He thought it was better for a married couple to be original, as they were of one mind."
As he said this, he admired himself for being such a good talker. If he was not so busy making money, he would run for a job as a team leader after the New Year!
Zhou Huaishan thought of Li Wu's fate and was glad that he was afraid and ignored the woman. "I also think Ye Laoyao is a coward. Which woman in the village buys rouge and lipstick every other day? Your third sister-in-law must feel distressed for a long time when she buys a bottle of clam oil!"
Zhou Huaian nodded, "That's right! My third sister-in-law is a little narrow-minded and a bit annoying, but she is still not bad compared to many women in the village."
"She would help her family members with any problems, and she would not betray them. Take those blood-sucking worms in her mother's family, for example. Look at what she did. If it were another woman, it would be strange if she didn't move back to her mother's family!"
Zhou Huaishan nodded and said, "I know she is a family-oriented woman, but I hate that she is not only greedy but also petty. She keeps nagging about trivial matters all day long, which makes me upset." Don't you think about how much you and Chunyan have helped us?
Zhou Huaian patted his shoulder, "You know what's going on, so I won't say more. Although our family is better off now than before, you have to think about how the women in the village looked when we were poor. Only women who have been poor with you are sincere to you!"
Zhou Huaishan recalled that his family was poor before, and when he went out, the villagers would not even look at him, and could not even speak a word. Now that his family is better off, they would greet people they met on the road early, and their faces would be broken with smiles...
Thinking of this, he looked at Zhou Huaian with shame, "Youngest brother, Third Brother is useless, and I still want you to worry about my affairs!"
Zhou Huaian smiled and curled his lips, "Tsk~ You're still being polite to me, didn't you remind me before?"
Zhou Huaishan also smiled and patted his shoulder, "Back!"
Zhou Huaian: "Uncle Datian and the others are coming over tonight, come early to drink!"
"I know. I also bought two braised ducks. I'll go get them." After saying this, Zhou Huaishan strode towards home.
Zhou Huaian walked into the yard with a smile, and saw Zhou's mother standing on the steps looking at him, "What were you and the third child whispering about at the door? Why did you talk for so long?"
Zhou Huaian thought that he must not let her know about that. "Third brother said that Third Sister-in-law is a little narrow-minded, but she is not a bad person. He asked Yan'er and I not to bother with her."
Zhou's mother nodded. "You said pickled fish, where's the fish?"
Zhou Huaian: "Xu Hongbing's baby is sick...it's the same if we cook something else."
Mother Zhou: "Your third brother bought a braised duck. I will boil a cured chicken, stew a cured pig's trotter, and stir-fry two vegetarian dishes, and that will be enough for us."
"Just do it as you see fit!" Zhou Huaian went to talk to Yang Chunyan about Zhou Huaishan's matter.

During dinner, Secretary Xu, Zhou Datian, and Zhou Daqing and his son came to Yang Chunyan's house one after another, and they brought New Year gifts.
Zhou Huaian invited them to sit in the main hall, took out the account book and showed it to them, then said, "This month is better than last month. One share of the dividend can be 11,200."
Secretary Xu and the others grinned from ear to ear after hearing this. "The youngest boy is a hard-working guy. If it weren't for those guys from Baicaoping, the bonus he got this month would definitely not be as much as last month."
Zhou Huaian said with a smile: "I am not someone who can endure hardships. Secretary Zhang and Secretary Lin are the ones who can. They said that they should take advantage of the harvest now and take people to the mountains to look for truffles after New Year's Eve!"
Secretary Xu sighed, "It's difficult here, but it's even more difficult over there, Lao Zhang and his team. They have to seize the opportunity after the Chinese New Year to work hard for ten days. If they are lucky, they can dig some truffles. They may not be able to earn that much in several years just by farming."
Zhou Daqing also said: "Yes, as long as I can make money, it doesn't matter if I suffer a little!"
Zhou Datian thought about it and asked again: "Youngest brother, the provincial capital hasn't mentioned anything about receiving the goods next year yet?"
Zhou Huaian: "What we send over are all top-quality goods. As long as they can make money, there will be no worries about no one buying them."
Secretary Xu took over the conversation, "Youngest brother is right. I also think there is no need to worry about them not accepting the goods. I asked the second brother to help me find out. I heard that those who are doing this business now are all well-connected and well-connected. They will make a lot of money by reselling our goods. We just have a little bit of rice!"
After hearing what they said, everyone felt relieved. They happily took the money, went out to eat, drink and chat, and did not leave until the night was quiet.
Thanks to friends AT2001 and Yan Ernuo for their reward and support!
