Chapter 140: Take one step and count ten steps

She didn't even notice Zhou Shuren was sitting next to her.

Zhou Shuren, "I just came back a while ago, and I saw you were sleeping so soundly that I didn't dare to move."

As soon as he came in, he saw Zhulan sleeping with Mingteng's head against hers. The sleeping Zhulan looked particularly gentle. The scene in front of him struck his heart hard. He longed to have a child with Zhulan, no matter whether it was a boy or a girl, as long as it was theirs.

It's a pity that the current stage is only the initial stage. It will not be very stable in the next few years and the end is too far away. However, according to the plan, he is not in a hurry.

Zhulan woke up immediately after she moved. She rubbed her eyes with her chubby little hands. She was thinking about snacks and suddenly sobered up. "Grandma, I'm hungry."

Zhulan chuckled, "Okay, okay, grandma will get you some snacks."

Zhou Shuren stood up and said, "Don't get down, I'll go get it."

"In the cupboard."

Zhou Shuren carried the paper bag and put it on the table. Zhulan took out the egg tarts and cakes. Zhou Shuren squinted his eyes and said nothing. Zhulan kept the ones for her and Zhou Shuren and packed the rest back. After Mingteng had sweated off a little, she took her cotton quilt and wrapped Mingteng and Zhou Shuren and said, "Take some snacks and send Mingteng to the lady's room. The little guys can eat together."

Zhou Shuren picked up Ming Teng with one hand, his arm dropped hard. The little guy was fat to begin with, and he gained weight since coming to Pingzhou, so he was really heavy. He went out with snacks in his other hand and came back soon.

Zhulan has already eaten the cake. The sugar in ancient times is not as good as the modern ones. The taste is not as good as the modern cakes, but it is not bad. "Try it, it's not bad."

Zhou Shuren likes to eat sweets, otherwise he wouldn't have bought so many snacks after returning from Jiangnan. He likes to eat cakes nowadays. Why do he like sweets so much? It's all because he couldn't eat them when he was a child, and gradually it became an obsession. "Not bad."

Zhulan asked, "How was your visit to the academy today?"

Zhou Shuren took off his shoes and got on the kang. "I've looked at a few academies and they're all pretty good. Mingyun, Mingteng, and Rongchuan will be able to enroll in the winter next year."

Zhu Lan asked, "Chang Lian, where is Chang Zhi?"

Zhou Shuren said, "Aren't they going to give it a try next year? Let's wait and see."

Zhou Shuren and Zhulan had planned for the children to go to the academy. This year Zhou Shuren became a scholar, and next year after Changlian, Changzhi and Jiang Sheng have passed the examination for the title of student, their family will move to Pingzhou. The children went to the academy not only to make friends and get a better education, but also to help them better adapt to interpersonal communication so as to avoid being embarrassed when they change their environment and go to other places.

Zhulan and Zhou Shuren both like to think ten steps ahead, so they had a plan when they decided to buy a house.

Zhou Shuren closed his eyes and rested for a while, then woke up and took the jewelry he brought out to pawn. There were many pawnshops in Pingzhou, and one could pawn two items at a time and come back quickly.

Because there were no valuable jewelry such as pearl necklaces, they were just some old hairpins and bracelets of poor color. No one paid attention to these old jewelry without careful pawning. All the jewelry was pawned for less than two hundred taels. Zhou Shuren took away one hundred and fifty taels of silver notes, forty taels of which were exchanged for four taels of gold, and more than eight taels of small change.

Zhulan was worried about the silver bills, so she planned to exchange them for gold bit by bit.

In the evening, there were some bones left from the meat Zhao Bo bought, so Zhulan asked Li to make some bone soup noodles for her to eat, and Li took her portion back home.

Zhulan looked very sad. In fact, when compared, her status was really good. She had no worries about food and drink, had savings and private property, and also had Zhou Shuren as a cheat. Now she had a two-story house and a shop, and was at the top of the food chain in her family. She was already super lucky.

People should be content. Zhulan is very content now.
