Chapter 183: The Talkative
On the next morning, Chang Lian and Chang Zhi put on their best clothes and dressed themselves up neatly. They looked handsome. If you didn't tell their origins, you would think they were two young masters. Zhu Lan looked at the two sons and sighed, "Fortunately, most of their appearance is like me."
Zhou Shuren, "......."
This body is indeed not very good-looking, and I feel a little depressed.
Li waited for her father-in-law to take his brothers-in-law away, and she felt more and more strange. Her intuition told her that her father-in-law taking his brothers-in-law to see the county lord was definitely not simple. Seeing her mother-in-law go to the backyard, Li pulled the head of the household and said, "Why do I feel weird? Head of the household, do you feel the same way?"
Boss Zhou tugged at the clothes but failed to pull them out of his wife's hands. He looked down at his wife's fat fingers and was silent. Why did he feel that his wife's strength was getting stronger? "No, let go. I'm going to harness the car and go up the mountain in a while!"
Li said "oh" and let go of her hand, mumbling, "I am only asking you because I am confused. You are not smart either. I'd better go ask my sister-in-law!"
Boss Zhou, "......."
He couldn't live like this any longer. Now even his wife disliked him and glared at him. Obviously, his wife was the breadwinner of the family, right? How could she dislike him?
Zhou Lao Er patted his eldest brother on the shoulder and said, "You have to live with the wife you choose for your whole life, even if you have to kneel down."
Boss Zhou, ".......Shut up."
What's the most annoying thing about his younger brother? When he was a kid, he always pushed him to take the blame for any mischief. Now that he got married, he still pushed him out to be scolded. Now, I don't know what's wrong with the second brother. He has become even more mean and stabs him in the heart from time to time. He suddenly envies his son. Look how obedient Mingteng is. If he could do it again, he would definitely use all the tricks he used on his son on his younger brother!
Boss Zhou was feeling uncomfortable. He harnessed the car and shouted angrily, "Li, hurry up and get out. It's time to go up the mountain."
Li and Zhao went out together. Li was a little dazed until they left the village in a bullock cart. Then Li came to her senses and said, "Master, my sister-in-law said that Dad actually brought Chang Lian and Chang Zhi to see the county magistrate."
Boss Zhou made an "oh" sound, then reacted and looked sideways at his younger brother. Seeing his brother's calm look, he felt like he was stabbed in the heart again. They two were really the backbone of the family. Look at the look of the second brother, this guy had already seen through it.
Zhou Laoer bared his teeth and thought to himself that since he found it fun to tease his elder brother, he could not control himself. "Brother, calm down. It's not even close yet. Whether it will work depends on today."
Li turned her head to look at her younger brother and sister-in-law, covering her heart. Fortunately, the family did not split up, and fortunately everyone in the family was afraid of their parents. Otherwise, she and the head of the family would definitely be like what her mother-in-law said, being sold out and still having to count money for others!
At the Zhou family, Zhulan is holding her grandson. The little guy is almost eight months old. He has been well nourished since he was young and is growing well. Mrs. Zhao is also a good parent who knows how to raise a child. Mingrui is very strong. He holds the little guy's hand, and the little guy is trying to stand on his own!
Zhulan was beaming with joy. This child was very easy to take care of. He would only cry when he was hungry. Otherwise, he would laugh whenever he was amused. "What are you laughing at? Why are you so happy?"
Mingrui shouted "ah ah", and then opened his mouth as if he was about to speak.
In modern times, Zhulan had little contact with her younger siblings, knew little about children, and had no idea how to raise them. In ancient times, Zhulan never thought that she would be so patient in raising a child, not getting bored at all, and teasing Mingrui by talking to him, "Call me grandma, grandma."
Zhulan had heard that the nobleman was slow in speaking. She watched Mingrui grow up a little bit, and she felt that the saying that the nobleman was slow in speaking was a bit inaccurate. Children need guidance in their growth. Zhulan's family has many children and adults, and they are always teasing and talking. Children's growth is a process of imitation. Mingrui is not very big, but he seems to be about to speak from time to time.
As for why the noble master is slow in speaking, it may be because he was brought up by a wet nurse or a maid. Who dared to tease the little master to talk? Without anyone to tease him, he would develop speech slowly. Children have no one to imitate, so naturally they would speak later.
Outside the gate, "Are you home?"
Zhulan picked up Mingrui and went out to see Jiang Sheng's mother, who was very surprised and asked, "When did the in-laws come?"
Mrs. Jiang Wang was carrying a basket. "I just arrived this morning and came to see my in-laws. Oh, this must be your grandson. This child is really well raised."
My own children have never been fat. The comparison makes me more jealous. The Zhou family is so well off. Look at my in-laws, they are dressed like the ladies in the county. Then I look at myself, not only in appearance, but also indecently dressed, with inconspicuous patches on my clothes!
Zhulan held her grandson in one hand. She didn't want to hit someone who smiled at her. No matter how she had torn Jiang Wangshi apart before, she had to take care of the face of the eldest daughter and her son-in-law. She smiled and said, "My dear in-laws, please come in quickly. The sun is bright today. It will be cooler inside."
Jiang Wang let out a breath carefully. She was a little afraid of her in-laws. She was really afraid that they would not give her face. If the old man hadn't urged her, she would have stayed at her son's house for a while. "There's nothing good at home. These are some pheasant eggs that the old man found in the mountains. I kept half for Xuemei and the two children, and gave the rest to you. Don't dislike them."
Zhulan glanced at the dozen or so pheasant eggs, put Mingrui on the kang and sat down to play, then took the basket and said, "Look at what my in-laws said, pheasant eggs are hard to find. This is a good thing, come and sit down, in-laws."
Then he said to Xue Han who stood up to greet him, "Go and get some snacks for Auntie."
After that, Zhulan poured Jiang Wangshi some cool tea, "My dear relative, you rushed out early in the morning and came to see me again. You must not have had a good rest. Have some tea quickly."
