Chapter 251 Belongs to You

Zhao was an expert in making clothes. As soon as she held the bundle in her arms, she knew it contained clothes. She held the bundle tightly, her heart beating because she guessed what was in it.

Zhao's voice was a little nasal, "Mom."

Zhulan signaled the second child to take Zhao back home, "We've been busy all day, it's time for mother to rest, you guys should go back too!"

Zhao hugged the bag tightly and said, "Mom, we're going back first."

Zhulan, "Yes."

After the two of them left, Zhulan breathed a sigh of relief and said to Zhou Shuren, "The last important thing in my hometown has been completed. Tomorrow I can rest assured and pack my luggage for Pingzhou at home."

Zhou Shuren pulled Zhulan to lie down, "You've been hard all day, I'll massage your back and see if you massage your shoulders from time to time today."

Zhulan sighed, "This body is not young after all. I am one year older this year, and my metabolism is declining year by year. I stayed up all winter last year, and I didn't have much time to prepare for the wedding after the New Year. I had a wedding banquet a few days ago, and I sat all day today. I feel very weak all over."

Even if I continue to take care of myself in winter, it can't compare to the golden years in my twenties.

Zhou Shuren learned the massage technique from Zhulan. He used some force, and Zhulan hissed. Zhou Shuren then stopped using some force. "Then we'll go to Pingzhou later. There's no need to rush. Take a good rest first."

Zhulan waved her hands, "No, it's better to finish it in one go, otherwise you will be unwilling to move again after a few days of rest."

Zhou Shuren continued to massage Zhulan. Zhulan had put on some weight with great difficulty during the winter, but she lost it all again in recent days. Her daughter was in debt.

In Zhou Laoer's yard, Zhao had already opened the bundle. Inside the bundle was a wedding dress, a bright red wedding dress. Zhao's eyes were welling up with tears.

Zhou Laoer hugged his wife's shoulders and said, "Mom always remembers that you don't have a wedding dress."

Zhao nodded repeatedly, "I will no longer envy my eldest sister-in-law. My husband, I will go change into my wedding dress."

This wedding dress belongs to her. What woman doesn't want to get married in a wedding dress? But she had no family, and the dress she wore when she married her husband was not hers. It was lent to her by her eldest sister-in-law. Her sister-in-law was fat, and it didn't fit her. Because it was borrowed, it couldn't be altered. In her heart, she had always hoped to have her own wedding dress.

Now her mother-in-law has prepared it for her, ordered from a clothing shop, and it is the most popular style this year.

Zhao combed her hair again, put on the jewelry her mother gave her and the jewelry her husband bought. Now that she had some savings at home, she would put on some rouge even if she was hiding from people. She tidied herself up and walked out with a smile on her face, "Husband."

Zhou Laoer thought that he must have had a lot of luck in his previous life to be able to marry Zhao. "My wife."

Mingrui sat on the kang, looking at his mother, and suddenly shouted, excitedly, "Mom."

It was so loud that it interrupted the couple's eye contact. Well, there were two kids at home who needed to be coaxed to sleep!

The next day, Zhulan had never seen the silver hairpin on Zhao's head, and Li was already rushing to answer, "Mother, you see my taste, I chose the hairpin."

Zhulan thought, it was rare for Li to be generous. This hairpin weighed about two taels. "She has good taste."

Li's aching heart was comforted. She slapped herself many times after buying the hairpin. She was bewitched and actually spent two taels of silver. Fortunately, she was praised by her mother, otherwise it would have been a great loss.

The gift from the Song family was also very affordable, a pair of jade pendant earrings.

Xue Han had been learning embroidery from Zhao. Not only was she her second sister-in-law, but they also had a master-apprentice relationship. Zhao also gave her expensive gifts. The gauze and threads she bought for embroidering the folding screen were all of the best quality, and she spent a lot of money on it.

Zhulan was happy in her heart, as she liked family reunions. A harmonious family brings wealth. If there was chaos every day, the family would already be in chaos, and there would be no way to unite against the outside world. In the future, the Zhou family would need everyone to work together.

Zhulan looks at her young son and daughter-in-law, and her mission as a mother is basically completed.

Breakfast was made by Mrs. Dong. She was the second best cook among the chefs, much better than Mrs. Zhao. It was not easy for a daughter of an official family to put in the effort to learn cooking. It was obvious that Mrs. Dong Lin really cared about her daughter.

For Zhulan, who has made no progress in cooking and the only dish she can cook is soup, which is sometimes tasteless, Dong's cooking skills must be praised.

After the meal, Dong raised her chin slightly, and her meaning was very clear: I was not exaggerating.

Chang Lian is used to the meals cooked by his eldest sister-in-law. Although his daughter-in-law cooks well, he thinks she has the potential to do better. "Don't be proud. Learn from your eldest sister-in-law. I believe you can do it."

Dong, "........"

No, she can't. She learned her cooking skills from her mother-in-law. This is the best meal she has ever made. She really doesn't have the talent to be a chef!

At this time, Mrs. Dong also remembered the recipe that the Dong family bought from her eldest sister-in-law. She pursed her lips. She knew about the forced sale, and her father knew about it too. His father didn't care because he wanted to train Chang Lian more.

Until now, Dong found that the eldest sister-in-law was a good cook and the second sister-in-law was a good needleworker. What about her? It seems that her cooking skills are average, and her needlework skills are not as good as the second sister-in-law. In addition to being more educated, the more she understands her husband's family, she finds that the eldest sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law have always insisted on learning to read. Yes, the eldest sister-in-law is also very good at math. It seems that she has more experience besides the status given by her parents. It seems that she really can't compare with the eldest and second sisters-in-law!

Zhulan has already informed everyone to pack their own luggage for their rooms and prepare what to take with them.

Zhulan packed her and Zhou Shuren's clothes herself. The two of them had made a lot of clothes this year, especially clothes for going out for social events. Zhulan's clothes were no longer dull. The two of them packed four large boxes of clothes for all seasons.

Zhulan packed up all her original body's clothes. She had no intention of giving them to anyone. No matter where the original body's soul was, she had made up her mind that when she died, these clothes would be buried with her. She sealed up her and Zhou Shuren's clothes, and bought insect repellent for fear that they would be eaten by insects. She put them in a dry place, and would take them away and keep them when she was settled. As long as they were well maintained, even if they were oxidized and damaged, it would not be too serious.

This was the last thing she and Zhou Shuren could do for the original body. They had taken over someone else's body, and they had been responsible for the original body from beginning to end.

After packing his luggage at home for two days, Zhou Shuren found a team of cars and asked Zhou Lao Da and Zhou Lao Er to accompany him to the house in Pingzhou. He also cleaned the yard in Pingzhou and prepared firewood and other daily necessities.

Originally, he had planned to move to Pingzhou after Chang Lian and Chang Zhi had finished their Tongsheng exams. However, the county magistrate could no longer help Zhou Shuren with his studies, and hoped that Zhou Shuren would go there earlier. Pingzhou was the provincial capital, and scholars could see their own shortcomings through communication. Besides, the county exam was over, and the academy and prefectural exams were both in Pingzhou, so there was no need for him to stay in his hometown for too long.

After Zhou Shuren met Wu Ming last time, he felt a sense of crisis and wanted to go to Pingzhou early to communicate more with Wu Ming. He gained a lot from the last communication, so he decided to move to Pingzhou early.

Zhulan also packed up some fabrics and unused decorative bottles, etc., which she prepared for Xuemei.

Two days before leaving for Pingzhou, Zhou Shuren and Zhulan returned to Zhoujia Village. They first went to the clan leader's house to chat for a while. Zhou Shuren then handed the article with the instructions of the county grandfather to the clan school. These would also be helpful for the scholars taking part in the provincial examination this year.

Zhou Shuren is not afraid of being copied by others. He hopes that the Zhou family will have more outstanding people in the future!

Afterwards, the two of them thanked the patriarch for inviting them to dinner and returned to the old house.

Jiang Sheng was studying in the room. As he was about to take an exam, he was under a lot of pressure.

Jiang Sheng and Zhou Shuren went to talk about articles.

Zhulan took out the money she had prepared and handed it to Xuemei, who quickly pushed it back, "Mom, I've already received two large bags of stuff, you can't take the money."

She just saw that her mother had prepared the pen, ink, paper and inkstone for Jiang Du. Her mother and father were going to Pingzhou, but they were still worried about her!
