Chapter 257 Loneliness

After dinner, it was Zhao's turn to wash the dishes today. Since Dong came into the family, Zhao and Dong took turns washing the dishes, Xue Han helped wash the vegetables, and Li was only responsible for cooking.

If Dong, Li, Zhao and Xuehan had not been there, they would have been working together all along. Now that Dong is here, Zhulan has made good arrangements to avoid conflicts that may accumulate into large ones.

Sometimes Zhulan would go to the kitchen to help, usually by lighting the fire or washing vegetables.

On the way back, Zhou Shuren told Rongchuan and Mingyun everything he needed to know. The two of them went to the academy together. There was nothing to worry about. After dinner, Zhou Shuren went back to his room and waited for Zhulan to come back. He said, "Find the deed for the shop. I'll go and take care of the shop tomorrow."

Zhulan put on her slippers and got on the kang. She took out a box from the cabinet, found two deeds and handed them to Zhou Shuren, "They are all here."

Zhou Shuren folded it up and put it away. "I went to the store this afternoon. They knew that we wanted to sell the store. If the tenant wants to buy it, we don't need to ask the broker to help. We can just transfer the ownership directly after we sell it tomorrow."

Zhulan asked, "I thought you stayed in the academy for a whole day!"

Zhou Shuren laughed, "I took Rongchuan and Mingyun to lunch at noon, sent them back to the academy, and then I left. I will pick them up after school."

"You couldn't have just gone to the store, let me guess what you did."

"Okay, guess."

Zhulan thought for a while, "You're not really going to pick up bargains, are you?"

Zhou Shuren lay down and sighed, "My wife is really smart. She has something to do with antiques, but she is not looking for bargains."

Zhulan smiled and said, "You didn't just go there to look at antiques, did you?"

Zhou Shuren raised his head and rested it on Zhulan's legs. "I really just went to look at antiques. I just knew there was a place in Pingzhou where they held competitions to appraise antiques, so I went to take a look today."

Zhulan frowned, "Who told you that?"

Zhou Shuren, "The owner who rented our shop told me during our chat that there was an antique appraisal competition this afternoon. I was curious, so he took me to see it."

Zhulan was used to being cautious, "Isn't it a condom?"

She has not forgotten the reborn Wang Ru. With such a big variable in their family, I don't believe Wang Ru will not investigate. Wang Ru has been in Pingzhou for a long time, and I don't know if she can get rid of her predicament. It's a pity that it's not easy to hear news about Wang Ru.

Zhou Shuren stroked his chin and said, "I don't care if it's a scam or not, it's definitely a chance to make some money."

Zhu Lan looked at Zhou Shuren's determined eyes. Well, this guy must have been thinking about it for the whole afternoon, and he has already come up with a perfect strategy. She said quietly, "If you want to borrow strength, you really have to borrow it from Brother-in-law Dong this time."

Zhou Shuren laughed softly, and gradually laughed louder, "The one who understands me best is my wife."

This is what it means to be in tune with each other. He and Zhulan have the most compatible hearts. It is rare to find someone with the same thoughts in life. Unexpectedly, they found them through time travel.

Zhu Lan covered Zhou Shuren's mouth and said, "Please keep your voice down. We are all in the same yard. You laughed so loudly just now, everyone should have heard it. I will not be able to behave like a human being tomorrow."

Zhou Shuren signaled that he had stopped laughing and could put his hands down. He coughed and said, "It was just a momentary excitement. Don't worry, they won't dare to show it."

There are a few guys in this town today, and they won’t dare to say a word!

Zhulan was grinding her teeth, and her son did not dare to show it, but she was a mother-in-law after all. People who didn’t know would think something was wrong with her parents-in-law that they had to face their daughter-in-law!

In the first room, Zhou Laoda and Li heard Dad's laughter. Li asked, "Dad, what are you laughing at?"

Zhou Laoda thought, Dad must have been so mean again that he made Mom angry. He was happy, but he couldn't say anything. "I don't know."

Li counted the copper plates on the kang and muttered, "I am stupid to ask you. We are both the same. Let's not guess anymore."

Boss Zhou, "........"

Sometimes, a daughter-in-law's words are more heartwarming than a father's!

Second house, Zhou Laoer and his wife are the kind of people who think a lot. They think a lot. Zhou Laoer thought, "What's so happy?"

Zhao also thought so. Her father-in-law was such a serious person, but he was so happy. It must be a great thing. "Ask tomorrow?"

Zhou Lao Er shook his head, "Dad, you don't know yet, he will say it when he wants to, and if he doesn't want to say it, it's useless to ask."

Well, he wouldn't say that he didn't have the courage to ask. Instead, he could ask his eldest brother to do it. He needs to think about it.

Chang Lian and Dong slept in separate rooms and could not communicate with each other. Chang Lian figured that this was the first time his father showed his emotions openly, so something big must have happened. Who should he ask to say hello? Well, it should still be his eldest brother, because he was the boss!

Changzhi and Rongchuan were in the front yard and didn't hear it clearly. Even if they heard it, they wouldn't think much about it.

Zhulan really didn't realize how smart her child was and she was overthinking it.

For breakfast, Li cooked red dates and millet porridge, and the staple food was steamed buns. In ancient times, people had two meals a day, and there was no such thing as lunch in the academy. However, there was a lunch break, and if you were hungry, you could bring some dry food. Rich families would bring cakes, and the sons of wealthy families would have someone send them snacks during the lunch break.

In winter, the academy had a stove, but they were not allowed to heat dry food because it would make the place smelly.

Zhulan brought some cakes for the two boys going to school. The cakes were bought yesterday.

After breakfast, Zhou Shuren was going to send Rongchuan and Mingyun to school. They had to hand in their tuition today, but since the start of the school year had passed, they would not have to attend the entrance ceremony.

Zhou Laoer came to his eldest brother and said, "Brother, look how much Daddy values ​​you and teaches you personally."

Boss Zhou, "........You want Dad to teach you personally, I can tell Dad, don't be jealous."

Zhou Laoer was silent, "..........."

No, he doesn't want his father's teachings. The eldest brother has learned his lesson. He would have been happy in the past, but now he will argue with him.

Boss Zhou snorted, thinking that he didn't know why Boss Zhou came. It was all caused by his father's laughter. He inexplicably felt that he was the only one sober while everyone else was drunk. It was a pity that he couldn't say it, and he didn't dare to say it. He felt so lonely!

Chang Lian was filled with emotion when he saw that his second brother had lost. The fools in the family became smart and looked at their eldest brother in reproach, "Brother, you have no responsibility as the eldest brother at all now!"

Boss Zhou, "........Oh, you found it a little late."

Whoever wants to be the eldest brother in this family can do it. He is not willing to be the eldest brother. These younger brothers are so annoying. They make him take the lead when there is something going on, and they don’t seem to care much for him when there is nothing going on. It makes me sad just thinking about it!

Chang Lian, "........"

Changzhi couldn't help but burst out laughing. Seeing that several brothers were looking at him, he said, "Don't mind me. I'm just here to watch the fun."

Chang Lian covered his heart. He was also a brother and he also had a troublesome younger brother.

Mingyun finished reading silently and turned his head to look at his younger brother who was smiling innocently. He said that his younger brother must be educated from an early age, otherwise it would be too late when he grows up.

Seeing Dong was dumbfounded, Zhulan said calmly, "You'll get used to it."

Well, she was worrying for nothing. It was all because of her guilty conscience! The kids at home were so complicated that she was just guessing in other ways.

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

Is this really the uncle she knew? The most honest uncle in her heart? And what about the compliments between brothers? Why does she only see them setting traps for each other and wish she could step on them more!

Zhou Shuren took Rongchuan and Mingyun away, Zhulan also went back to the house, and only the four brothers were left in the yard staring blankly.

Zhou Shuren came back at noon. Zhulan waited until no one was around in the afternoon before asking Zhou Shuren, "Is the transfer completed?"
