Chapter 177 What kind of official position did he hold?
Zhizhi was about to tell Zhou Lin that she wasn't that cold and that he should quickly put on his clothes, but upon hearing this, she paused for a moment, "Aren't you coming back?"
"Yeah, I'm not coming back. It's too cold at home."
It's too cold at home, and my sister-in-law's behavior is too unseemly.
Zhou Lin didn't know what Zhizhi thought about this meal, but from his own perspective, he couldn't accept it.
It's not like we're starving anymore, and my sister-in-law isn't a child, yet she's fighting over food like this...
Even if Zhizhi doesn't say anything, he still feels that Zhizhi is being wronged.
Zhou Lin held her hand and stroked it, saying, "Next year when you have a baby, the baby will be small, and running around will make you and the baby suffer. It's not necessary."
“If Mom wants to spend the New Year in the city, we can bring her there. If she doesn’t want to, we can bring her to the city for a few days during the off-season to see the children. It’s the same thing.”
"It's not necessary to gather together during the Chinese New Year."
Zhizhi naturally did not object to this.
She was willing to come back here for the New Year because of Zhou Lin.
To be honest, she quite liked Zhou Lin. Not only was he handsome, but he was also very responsible. Even though the original owner had caused him so much trouble, he hadn't divorced her.
The quality is top-notch.
So for this man, she was willing to endure a few days of torment.
But it would be better if this torment were completely unnecessary.
Everyone has to endure hardship!
"Mmm, I'll listen to my husband," Zhizhi said sweetly, hugging Zhou Lin's arm.
Zhou Lin held her hand, and unconsciously tightened his grip.
Zhizhi pulled Zhou Lin away, and Zhou Chan quickly ran to another room to tell Wu Caifeng that her second sister-in-law had taken her second brother away.
Wu Caifeng had just finished rummaging through all her belongings when she heard that the person had left. Without even looking at her things, she rushed to the main room.
But the main room was empty.
No, there's another guy named Zhou Bing there, frantically stuffing peach shortbread, milk candy, and other things into his pockets.
Upon seeing Wu Caifeng and the others arrive, he pretended to say, "I like to eat!"
Wu Caifeng walked over, found an empty bag, took out half of the milk candy and biscuits, put some peach shortbread in, and took his hand, "Come on, Grandma will take you home."
Zhou Bing looked at the pile of delicious food she was carrying and nodded.
When Zhou Lin and Zhizhi passed by the entrance of Zhou Haiyuan, they could hear Zhang Fenfen's screams.
But Zhou Lin only helped Zhizhi tighten her clothes and didn't pay any attention to her.
This is a matter between husband and wife, and he, as the younger brother-in-law, has no right to interfere.
Because no one was paying attention, the noise was still going on when Wu Caifeng brought the child over.
Wu Caifeng, being a mother-in-law, couldn't avoid it and had no choice but to go up and knock on the door.
A knock sounded on the door, and the cursing inside stopped. A short while later, Zhou Hai, with two scratch marks on his face, opened the door.
Zhang Fenfen wasn't in much better shape; her hair was a mess, her cotton-padded jacket was undone, and there were red marks on her face.
It's clear that the two of them got into a fight.
When Wu Caifeng saw the door open, she said, "I'm bringing Xiaobing back to sleep."
As she spoke, she handed the snacks in her hand to her eldest son, "These are what my second son bought for Xiaobing, and I brought them along with him."
Zhou Hai awkwardly took the things, wanting to say something, but then closed his mouth again.
Wu Caifeng simply said, "Get some rest. The New Year is just a few days away."
This was a reminder to Zhou Hai to stop arguing with Zhang Fenfen.
Zhou Hai nodded as well.
Wu Caifeng then went back.
As soon as Wu Caifeng left, Zhou Bing went into the house, walked up to Zhang Fenfen, and pulled out a lot of food from his pocket as if showing off a treasure, saying, "I got these from my grandma, she has lots of delicious food."
Zhang Fenfen was exhausted from all the arguing and hitting, and didn't want to talk at all.
Zhou Hai put the food on the table and said to Zhou Bing, "Don't eat it all at once," before turning to go to the kitchen to boil water.
As soon as she left, Zhang Fenfen immediately started rummaging through the food.
Seeing a milk candy, I immediately peeled one and put it in my mouth, and then I wasn't so angry anymore.
That's just how she is; she likes to take advantage of others, whether it's a big or small deal. As long as she can gain something, she'll be happy, content, and satisfied.
After eating the milk candy, Zhang Fenfen reached for a bag of biscuits to open, but Zhou Bing immediately stopped her, saying, "Grandma said it was for me to eat, don't eat it."
Zhang Fenfen got so angry that she hit him again, yelling, "You brat! I'm your own mother! Can't I even eat a cookie of yours?"
Zhou Bing was unhappy. "No, no, you can't eat this much," he said, and took the whole bag away.
Zhang Fenfen: "..."
She felt that her son was smart, but she also felt that... something was not quite right.
But... children are smart; they know how to take advantage of others, so they don't suffer losses at the hands of others.
With that thought in mind, Zhang Fenfen sat down at the table and began to eat with relish.
When Zhou Lin returned, he first helped Zhizhi sit in bed, and then quickly boiled water for Zhizhi to wash.
After Zhizhi finished washing, he washed himself too, and the couple lay down in bed to sleep.
There was no television in the village, so everyone went to bed early at night.
Although I'm still a little unaccustomed to the new bed, I'm probably exhausted after sitting in the car for almost a whole day and then fighting with others for food in the evening.
So, nestled in Zhou Lin's arms, Zhizhi quickly fell asleep.
Zhizhi fell asleep, and Zhou Lin kissed her forehead before quickly falling asleep as well.
The next morning, Zhou Lin's biological clock woke him up before dawn.
At that time, Zhizhi was still fast asleep.
Seeing that it was still dark outside, Zhou Lin didn't get up. He just lay quietly on the bed, gazing at his wife beside him in the darkness.
Only when the first light of dawn appeared outside did Zhou Lin quietly get up.
Not long after he got up, Wu Caifeng came over with two bags of things. "You two left in such a hurry yesterday that I didn't give you any rice or flour."
Zhou Lin said, "There are still some at home!"
Wu Caifeng said, "You two have been sitting here for months, eat this. I just caught it for the winter."
Zhou Lin, knowing that Zhizhi was pregnant, accepted the things, saying, "Take them with you when we leave."
Wu Caifeng nodded, "Okay!"
"Do we have enough firewood at home?"
Knowing they were coming back for the Chinese New Year, Wu Caifeng not only helped air out the quilts but also added a lot of firewood to the kitchen.
"That's enough. I'll get some more during the day."
"Well, I heard Xiao Chan say yesterday that Zhizhi said that the meat is for the New Year's Eve dinner, so I won't give it to you."
"Yes, we have some at home!"
Wu Caifeng then said, "Then I'll go back."
"Um!"
Zhizhi and the others had a smooth trip back because they brought a lot of food and Wu Caifeng was there to take care of them.
Even with Zhang Fenfen causing trouble, Zhang Fenfen was short-sighted and always looking for a bargain. She was thinking about Wu Caifeng's sheepskin coat. These past two days, she hadn't made a fuss, but she kept staring at Wu Caifeng's sheepskin coat, saying sourly, "Mom, you're really generous. Such an expensive coat, and you just wore it!"
Wu Caifeng said she wanted to wear it, and she wore it the next day.
Although it's dark red, it's still red. In this rural area where people mostly wear drab colors, it stands out. Aunt Zhou and the others will definitely come up and ask questions!
Wu Caifeng immediately told others with a smile, "My second son's wife bought it for me. It cost 180 yuan."
"One hundred and eighty yuan?" Everyone was surprised.
You should know that some families only give 180 yuan as a bride price when they marry off their sons.
"How can Zhou Lin's family be so willing to spend money like this?" Zhou's third aunt touched the sheepskin coat with an envious look.
Some people said, "Of course he'd be willing to give it up, after all, his boss's father called him back."
"By the way, what official position does Zhou Lin's wife's father hold?" someone asked.
Wu Caifeng couldn't explain it either.
