This is the moment to witness a miracle.
Zhou Shengnan turned on the incandescent lamp, everyone held their breath, and Jiang Xiang pulled the wire next to the pillar.
“Click!”
The incandescent lamp lit up, shining into everyone's hearts like a little sun, making people seem to see a bright future.
"It's so bright!" Zhou Lanhua shouted happily, hugging Qiuhua tightly and shaking her. "Sister, you won't have any eye pain when you work at night in the future. Look, the room is just like it is during the day!"
Qiuhua was also very excited. She hugged Zhou Lanhua and tears welled up in her eyes.
"Oh, sister, why are you crying?" Zhou Lanhua wiped Qiuhua's tears with a smile.
"Boss, sister is happy!" Wang Erhu explained.
"Okay, okay, you know me best, just get out of the way!" Zhou Lanhua laughed and kicked Wang Erhu on the butt.
Unfortunately, Shisan’s foot was stepped on two days ago, and Zhou Lanhua threatened him that she would not play with him if he dared to go out.
As a result, this honest child never left the house.
"Hey, I haven't seen Thirteen in a few days." Zhou Lanhua wrinkled her nose and said, "That stupid guy didn't even see the light!"
"Boss, why don't we go see him now?" Wang Erhu suggested.
"Okay! Let's go!" Zhou Lanhua said that wind would lead to rain, and she was about to go out.
"Hey, it's already late, why are you still going out?" Qiuhua grabbed her and suggested, "Look outside, it's getting dark. There's no need to rush. Aren't we going to stew chicken tomorrow morning? Bring a bowl to Thirteen when you're done."
"Sister is really thoughtful." Zhou Lanhua grinned and said to Wang Erhu, "Come and call me tomorrow morning so we can go find him together."
The next day, Zhou Lanhua squatted by the coal stove, staring eagerly for two hours, and from time to time she would ask Qiuhua, "Sister, is the chicken soup ready?"
Qiu Hua was annoyed by the questions and jokingly said, "Thirteen usually comes to your house every day and follows you around all the time, but you don't seem to care about him at all. Why is he even keeping such a close eye on the pot of chicken soup?"
"Sister, he's an injured soldier, how can I not care about him? He's my little brother after all, and as the boss, I have to have the responsibility!"
That was the point, and then she added, "Well, given his family's situation, he really wouldn't appreciate my bowl of chicken soup!"
Qiuhua was busy studying embroidery all day long, and didn't really know much about it. He only heard from his master that the Shisan family was one of the best in the village. He didn't know why he was willing to follow Zhou Lanhua all day long, never leaving her side. Qiuhua was very curious about how Zhou Lanhua managed to make him so obedient.
Finally, Qiuhua took the casserole off the coal stove, opened the lid, and saw bubbles still bubbling inside.
This is an old hen that Zhou Shengnan bought specially. It is very fat and there is a thick layer of butter floating on the surface of the soup.
Zhou Lanhua filled a large bowl with soup and meat, put it in a basket and carried it carefully, then called Wang Erhu to go to Shisan's house together.
"Thirteen! Thirteen! Come out quickly! I've brought you something good!"
Before the person even entered the door, the sound had already passed through the shabby house of the Thirteenth Family and flew to the back of the village. Zhou Lanhua happily carried the basket, fearing that if she walked too slowly the chicken soup would get cold, and afraid that if she walked too fast it would spill.
After shouting several times, he finally walked to the door. The door was ajar, but Thirteen did not come out.
"What's wrong with this kid? Is he deaf?" Wang Erhu muttered.
"He's your second brother, what do you mean by that brat!"
"Yes, yes, what's going on, second brother!"
The two of them walked in, and it was so dark inside that their eyes couldn't adjust to it and couldn't see anything clearly.
Stand still for a while and then open your eyes to see what's going on in the room clearly.
“Who is it…?”
With a soft and sticky voice, "Who is it?", a door creaked open and out came Thirteen's elder sister, who had just married this year. Her family was well-off, so naturally the man she married was not bad either.
"Sister!" Zhou Lanhua called out in a rough voice, which was completely different from her sister's soft and sweet voice.
"Ah, ah, sister..."
The useless Wang Erhu couldn't even speak clearly when he saw the pretty and mature sister!
"Sister, who are you talking to?"
Thirteen appeared from behind the house and laughed again when he saw Zhou Lanhua.
"Boss, why are you here?"
Zhou Lanhua carefully took the chicken soup out of the basket and placed it on the table, saying, "Well, don't say that I, as the eldest, don't care. This is the nourishing chicken soup that my sister personally cooked. I, your eldest, personally served it to you.
You have to drink it all for me!"
After receiving the boss's order, Thirteen immediately sat down, picked up the bowl and started drinking. Wang Erhu was drooling as he watched from the side.
"You two should sit down too!" Sister Thirteen returned to the house and brought them some fried dough sticks. "Come and have some."
Wang Erhu took it with a red face, and said shyly while eating: "Sister, you are so gentle in your words."
Zhou Lanhua chewed her Sanzi and gave him a look. "See, this is what a man is like! He forgets his principles and his friends when he sees a beautiful woman!"
"Boss Shengning... also... Oding..."
Thirteen was drinking soup and mumbling something. His elder sister covered her face. Obviously, only his elder sister could understand what he said.
"Lanhua, my brother is always following you around. You have to keep an eye on him. He has a bad temper and is very strong. He'll get into trouble if you don't watch him."
Zhou Lanhua readily agreed, "Of course no problem, sister."
"But, I've only been watching it for the past six months. I can't watch it anymore."
"Why!"
"Why!"
