Chapter 1268: Small goal: sleep until you wake up naturally

Zhu Lan saw that everyone was looking at her, and smiled at Zhou Shuren. Great, she was surprised that he didn't tell her about such a big thing. She was silent for a moment, "Next year's small goal is to lose ten pounds."

Zhou Shuren said suically, "Old lady, this is a big goal."

As soon as he finished speaking, several brothers of the Zhou family took a deep breath. Why would their father be so hard on them during the New Year's Day?

Zhulan's smile froze. "I didn't hear you clearly."

Zhou Shuren, "...Madam, your goal is too small."

Zhou Lao Da and several others, "......"

So Dad could obviously talk nicely, why did he try to test me to the point of death!

Zhou Shuren smiled, today is Chinese New Year, he hasn't made any crazy attempts for a long time. Chinese New Year has extra protection, he would feel uncomfortable if he doesn't tease his wife!

Rong Yuyun was in high spirits. This was what made the New Year lively. As the eldest elder, he just had to watch.

Then it was Boss Zhou's turn. Boss Zhou had just been watching the show and now his mind was blank. Hmm, what was his goal?

The more anxious he became, the harder it was to remember, and no one had reminded him. Boss Zhou hoped that his second brother could give him a hint, but his second brother didn't even look at him.

Boss Zhou suddenly realized that he really had no ambitions. He had no need to worry about his sons. Finally, he said dryly, "I hope the first wife's income can double next year?"

Zhou Shuren drank the wine and hummed. Boss Zhou breathed a sigh of relief, saying that he had passed the test.

When it came to Zhou Changyi, Zhou Changyi had already made up his mind, "I hope to be promoted to the next level next year."

Boss Zhou looked at his second brother and asked, “Is this just a small goal?”

Jiang Sheng’s goal is very simple, to write more articles in the new year. Since he listened to his father-in-law, he has made plans for his future.

Then it was Changzhi's turn. Zhou Changzhi looked at his two brothers in silence. Did they have any misunderstanding about the small goal? Was this a small goal? Was it really the same as the small goal he understood?

Zhou Changzhi saw everyone looking at him, "My small goal is to get an excellent rating next year."

After saying that, Changzhi looked at his father. This goal was too easy. Well, it was very easy for him, so it was a small goal.

Zhou Shuren didn't say anything, and that was considered over. Changzhi smiled, he didn't understand the small goal wrongly.

Changzhong, "My small goal is to save an extra 200 taels of silver next year."

Chang Zhi looked at his younger brother and said, "Well, this is also a small goal. Two hundred taels is easy for my younger brother."

It was Li's turn at this table. Li was a little confused, "We also have to have a goal?"

Zhulan smiled and said, "Yes, our house must be neat and tidy, and no one should be left behind."

Lee, "......"

She doesn't want this neatness at all!

Li was a little nervous, her voice trembling, and she said tentatively, "I hope to lose three, no, five pounds next year."

When she saw her mother nod, she smiled and just looked up at her mother.

Zhao continued, "My goal for next year is to become proficient at playing the piano."

Then there is Xuemei. Xuemei’s goal is also simple, which is to visit one or two more states next year.

Su Xuan, "My small goal is to buy two more houses next year."

Then it’s the grandchildren’s turn. Life is simple for the children, they either study or learn painting, etc.

The only two things that stand out are that Mingteng’s identity is different, so the small goals are also different. “Next year, my goal is to be able to manage some industries independently.”

The other is Yuwen, "My small goal is to sleep until I wake up naturally every day."

Zhou Shuren made a final summary speech, "I have remembered everyone's small goals. At the end of the year, everyone has to write a summary. I will check and see if there are any that have not been completed, haha."

With a laugh, those who have a correct understanding of what small goals are will feel at ease, while those who have one or two misunderstandings will be in dire straits.

However, this atmosphere soon disappeared and the reunion dinner was still lively and noisy.

At night, a fireworks show started at the gate of the palace. The sound of dong dong was heard and the dazzling fireworks bloomed in the sky. For the ancient people, it was an absolute visual feast.

The emperor spent a lot of money, which was absolutely generous. The fireworks went on for a long time, and some people even climbed onto the rooftops to watch the fireworks.

After the fireworks in the imperial palace ended, as if as a signal, everyone who had bought fireworks started setting them off, and the whole capital city became extremely lively.

The next morning, it was Zhulan's day to give out red envelopes. The amount of red envelopes was higher this year, and the children were all very happy.

In fact, the New Year means fortune for Zhulan. Every New Year, each branch would give her and Zhou Shuren gifts. As each branch had more money, the gifts became more expensive. The eldest branch gave tonic medicine, the second branch gave gems, and no two gifts were the same.

The New Year passed in the blink of an eye. The important thing after the New Year was that Mingyun and Jiangdu returned to their hometown to take the examination for Tongsheng, and the two younger ones had to take the examination for Xiucai.

Boss Zhou was worried and wanted to go with him, but Mingyun refused, "Dad, I have a servant with me, I'll be fine."

Boss Zhou looked at his eldest son, who was already as tall as him. He had grown up very fast this year. "You really don't need your father to accompany you?"

Mingyun shook his head, "No, there is no danger now, don't worry, and my son also wants to exercise himself, Dad, my son is the eldest son."

He has grown up.

Boss Zhou was both relieved and sad. He didn't teach his eldest son. Well, he didn't teach his several sons either. His sons had grown up without him noticing.

Mrs. Li did not share her husband's sentiments, not because she was careless, but because she trusted her eldest son. "I brought things for your grandmother and uncle. Please divide them according to the gift list. Make sure you pack them well."

Mingyun took the list and put it in the box, "Well, I will visit my grandparents more often."

Li sighed, "Originally, your father and I planned to go back with you, but since we went back last year, I don't miss it that much anymore."

Her husband also asked her if she wanted to go back with him, but she thought about it and refused. There were a lot of things to do after the New Year, and moving was a big deal. They had many children in one room, and there were a lot of things to pack, so he couldn't leave her.

At the Jiang family, Jiang Du and Mingyun left together. Jiang Sheng was relieved because his eldest son was mature and stable. He was also confident in letting his son take care of his parents and return to Beijing together.

Jiang Sheng instructed, "Don't cause trouble for your cousin. Listen to him along the way."

Jiang Du, "I've made a note of it, son."

Jiang Sheng continued, "When you go back, go visit your uncles. I heard from your grandfather that your two cousins ​​are doing well in school. Dad is skeptical of what your grandfather said. Go back and take a closer look. If your grandfather's words are true and will not affect your studies, please give them some advice."

Jiang Du and his cousins ​​in his hometown were not close. They did not grow up in the same village when they were young. Later, they could not talk to each other because of studying. When they moved to Beijing, they could not see each other anymore. The relationship was really not deep. "Okay."

Xuemei pulled her son aside and whispered, "You need to go to the Jiang family on behalf of your mother. I have prepared a gift for them, and you need to go and deliver it in person."

Jiang Du was not embarrassed and said with a smile, "Yeah."

Since Xuemei's husband became a mistress, the family has hired servants and maids. They only bought two maids, both of whom were placed with the young lady. There was no maid by the side of her son, all of them were servants.

This time when the son returned, he took the two servants with him.
