Chapter 59: Accustomed to You
Zhou Laosan paused. He also had a younger brother. "Dad, the fourth child is good at writing. Why don't you let him write an article about family every day? When you come back, you can know the details of the family affairs."
Zhou Shuren narrowed his eyes. The potential of his sons has been discovered. "Very good."
Zhou Changzhi, "........"
They bully him because he’s the youngest. Woohoo, he really has no younger brother!
Zhulan almost laughed out loud several times, but she could only purse her lips as she couldn't help laughing in her heart. Looking at the women's table, Li didn't care about the men's affairs at all. She was only focused on getting more meat for her son and daughter.
Zhao looked at his own family who had not suffered any loss, and picked up the meat to eat like a thief, stealing a glance at Zhulan every time he picked up a piece. Zhulan pretended not to see it. Zhao looked very satisfied, as he was having a great time anyway!
Zhulan, "........"
She wants to look at her grandchildren more often to refresh her eyes!
For dinner, don’t worry about whether it’s the depressed old son or Zhou Laosan who is gritting his teeth in his heart, it won’t delay the meal at all. The big hen meat is so delicious!
After dinner, Zhulan first got some hot water and went to see Rongchuan. The child was sweating, so she wiped the sweat with a handkerchief and covered him with a quilt before returning to the main room.
Zhou Shuren was talking about Rongchuan with the eldest and second oldest sons. Zhulan was the only one in the room. She took out some cloth and cut it herself, intending to make clothes for Rongchuan.
Zhulan was very confident. She had a natural talent for needlework, and her memory for making clothes was no problem. Zhulan discovered a hidden skill, but she did not plan to learn it in depth. Just knowing how to make clothes would be enough. Embroidery was too taxing on her eyes, and she had to take good care of her eyes. There were no reading glasses in ancient times, so eyes were also very important.
Zhou Shuren came back late. Zhulan had already finished making pants and was preparing to make clothes. "Why did you come back so late?"
Zhou Shuren said as he took off his slippers, "I saw the third and fourth children studying, and then I went to see Rongchuan. Is this made for Rongchuan?"
Zhu Lan nodded, "This child's clothes are like rags. They can't even cover his body, let alone keep him warm. He won't have anything to wear tomorrow. I have to make it tonight."
Zhou Shuren was not very happy. The first time Zhulan came to the ancient times to make outerwear, it was not for him. Well, she had never made underwear for him either. "You need some decent clothes to go to Jiangnan. Clothes make the man, and saddles make the horse. You can't skimp on this."
Zhulan bit off the thread, "I know even without you telling me that only when you dress well can you fool people, well, only when you are respected by others can you be admired by others."
Zhou Shuren smiled, "That's right, the outerwear is ready-made, but the lining is up to you."
Zhulan, "........Okay."
As for her underwear, it was hard to describe her original underwear. After she learned needlework, she made two sets of underwear and pajamas for herself. She felt a little guilty because she didn't make one for Zhou Shuren, but she was embarrassed because her teammates were so careless. Now all she could think about was underwear!
But this thing really needs to be done by the wife!
Zhou Shuren was not mistaken in seeing Zhulan blushing, and his mood improved instantly!
The next morning, Rongchuan's fever subsided, but his skin was too thin and would relapse. Zhulan gave Rongchuan the clothes and pants she had made, and told him to wear them indoors first as they were not thick enough, and then make thicker clothes after buying cotton.
Today, Zhulan and her husband are going to the county to buy clothes for Zhou Shuren, as well as some household items.
A whole morning is enough for a round trip, and Zhou Laoer will be watching over it at home.
Just as she was about to leave, she was stopped by Wang Laosi. Wang Laosi was carrying Wang Ru, and there were two large platforms behind them. Wang Laosi was a little anxious, "Uncle is going out."
Zhou Shuren nodded, "Yes."
Wang Laosi smiled innocently, "We originally wanted to borrow the ox cart, can you take us to the county now?"
Zhulan is unhappy. The last time Wang Laosi said he would come back to pay the gift, he never came again. It is one thing for her to not let him go, but it is another thing if you say something and don't do it. This shows that Wang Laosi is not a man who keeps his promises. Today, she didn't have the money to rent a ox cart, so she came to take advantage of his family.
Zhu Lan laughed angrily, but her smile was fake. "Old Four, I thought you were here to pay me back, but it turned out you weren't!"
Why do you have the guts to borrow a bullock cart? I'm used to you!
