Chapter 374 Chapter 375: Zhou Banxian
When Zhou Huaian counted to 875, he looked up and saw Zhou Huairong still counting slowly. He smiled and said, "Brother, it will be much easier if you count to 100 and put them in a pile."
Zhou Huairong thought for a moment, "Oh! The youngest one is still smart!"
Zhao Huifang laughed and said, "You are just too clumsy!"
Zhou Huairong was not angry either, "Of course I am stupid. Every time you counted the money and put it away, you didn't even give me a chance to practice."
Father Zhou also laughed and said, "Your mother was just like you last time. She counted for a long time but couldn't figure it out."
Zhou's mother rolled her eyes at him and said, "You're still blaming me. The last time you went to the city to sell that thing, you didn't even know where to put your hands and feet!"
Everyone laughed when they remembered how he stumbled when he went out with the ox gallstones in his pocket.
After Zhou Huairong counted the money, his father said, "Okay, put the money away and don't spend it recklessly."
"Understood." Several people responded in unison.
Zhou Huaian thought for a moment, counted out fifty and handed the rest to Yang Chunyan, "Yan'er, keep it safe. I'll give this fifty to grandpa as pocket money."
"Okay." Yang Chunyan agreed with a smile, took the money and went back to the house.
After seeing this, Zhou Huairong's brothers also counted out fifty and followed Zhou Huaian out of the main room.
The four brothers walked up to the old man and said, "Grandpa, we are giving you some pocket money as a gift."
Zhou Jiaming and the others looked at the big unity in their hands with shining eyes, "Wow~ It's ten yuan."
Zhou Huairong glared at him and said, "Go wash your face and feet and go to bed."
"Oh oh!" Zhou Jiaming pulled his brother and sister-in-law away.
The old man looked at the four people in front of him, feeling as comfortable as if he had drunk fine wine. "Okay, okay, I understand. You have a lot of places to spend money after the separation. Take it yourself."
Zhou Huaian stuffed the money into his pocket and said, "Take this and buy some candy for my son later."
"Yes, save it for buying candy for the kids." Zhou Huairong and others also stuffed the money into his pocket.
The old man wiped his eyes and said, "Okay, grandpa will buy them some candy."
Zhou Jiakang pricked up his ears and smiled so hard that his teeth were exposed. "Brother, did you hear that? I gave money to the old ancestor to buy candy for us!"
Zhou Jiaming looked at him and shook his head, "You are talking nonsense! They said that on purpose!"
Zhou Xiaoqian patted him on the back and said, "Stupid boy, you spent all that money on candy. You won't be able to finish it even if your teeth are rotten."
Yang Chunyan went back to the house and put the money away. Zhou Huaian walked in and said, "My elder brother and his friends also gave fifty yuan to grandpa. I saw that he was so happy that he cried."
“The happiest thing for an old man is a harmonious family and filial children and grandchildren.”
"Yeah!" Zhou Huaian lay on the bed with his hands on his head. "Thanks to my brother and his friends working day and night on the construction site, we have time to go out and look for herbs to sell for money."
"When we move over there, I'll go up the mountain to dig herbs and look for wild beehives. You'll be home alone, and I'll be worried if I go out. Thinking of this, I think it's better to live here, and I'm a little reluctant to move."
Yang Chunyan nodded, "Our family is not like some other families, where you scheme against me and I scheme against you for the slightest benefit. The whole family is lively and bustling, but it will be just the two of us who will be lonely when we move there. I am a little reluctant to leave."
She thought that it might be because she had been lonely for too long in her previous life, so after coming back, she especially liked being together with the whole family.
"Ha!" Zhou Huaian sat up and looked at her with a smile, "You forgot, there is another one in your belly."
"Yes!" Yang Chunyan touched her belly and said to the baby, "I'm sorry, Yaoyao! Mommy almost forgot about you."
Zhou Huaian hugged her, touched her belly and smiled, "My dear son, your mother didn't forget. She has already forgotten. It's a good thing that you didn't forget."
"Go to hell!" Yang Chunyan grabbed the soft flesh around his waist and twisted it. "You're all sweaty and smelly. It makes me feel uncomfortable and a little nauseous."
Zhou Huaian quickly let go of her, sat up straight, looked at her and said, "Wife, I think you might be pregnant with a girl."
"You think you can tell the future!" Yang Chunyan rolled her eyes at him. "Even if you have X-ray vision, you can't tell if it's a daughter or a son after only three months?"
Zhou Huaian said with a smile: "Just think about it, Jiaming and the others don't like to be clean at all. They always like to lift their feet up and smell them before washing them, and they don't mind the stink."
"Xiao Qian and the others twist them every time they see them, disliking their stinky smells. This proves that only girls hate this or that stinky smell. According to my calculations, it is 99% likely that she is a girl."
Yang Chunyan sat opposite him and looked at him seriously, "What's wrong with my daughter? She is my treasure too!"
Zhou Huaian looked at her and was about to get mad if she said anything wrong, so he stepped forward and said, "Yan'er, my dear, please don't worry! No matter if it's a son or a daughter, they are all my treasures, and so are you!"
"Go to hell!" Yang Chunyan smiled and patted him, "Hurry up and wash up. Move some things over tomorrow. We still have to go to Yangjiapingzi."
"Yes!" Zhou Huaian kissed her, "It's dark outside, help me get some flashlights."
"You can do anything, why are you afraid of the dark?" Yang Chunyan picked up the flashlight on the box and said, "Let's go!"
"Okay!" Zhou Huaian supported her, and the couple walked out together.
…
The brothers moved on the second day of the Lunar New Year and had to notify their mother's family to come and roast the bottom of the pot. The next morning, Zhou Huaishan delivered the vegetables and the last bag of red mushrooms to Ning'an.
After Zhou Huaian woke up, he saw Yang Chunyan still sleeping soundly, so he quietly got dressed and got out of bed.
As soon as he came back from the toilet, the old man waved at him and said, "Go wash your face, follow grandpa to the new house and pave the road again."
Zhou Huaian asked puzzledly: "Why do you have to press it again?"
The old man said: "One time is not enough! Press once today, and press again tomorrow to squeeze out the mortar in the cement mortar and penetrate it into the road surface, so that it will not easily cause pits and bubbles."
"Oh!" Zhou Huaian rubbed his face, "Let's go, Grandpa."
The old man stared at him, "You kid don't even wash your face?"
Zhou Huaian chuckled, "No, if you don't wash your face for three days, you'll have something to eat."
"You lazy thing, now you have meat every other day, and you can also eat cheers!" The old man smiled and walked out with him.
Zhou Huaian said, "Grandpa, I asked Master Li to make three new beds for me, and I also ordered high and low cabinets. When the beds are ready, I will move the wooden bed in your room out and replace it with a new one. I will leave a room for you in the main house, and you can stay here when it's late."
The old man felt as if he had drunk honey water when he heard this. "Your grandmother's and my bed are at your great father's place. We have never had the time to move it here. We will all live in your house from now on. Go and dismantle it and move it to my room one day."
"Tell Carpenter Li to make one less bed, and don't move the new bed over there, and don't put it in the main room. Put it in the east wing instead. I can come and stay for two days when I want to."
"No, I asked Yiding to help me get some quota and buy some wood. While the stall is still there, I made all the furniture I need to save the trouble of hiring people to come home later."
After hearing this, the old man no longer objected and said, "You decide for yourself."
