Chapter 684 Thoughts
Zhu Lan smiled and said, "This engagement is with the eldest wife, so it doesn't matter whether they are here or not."
Xue Han patted her head, "Every time my family got engaged, everyone was together. I didn't react for a while. Mom, I'm going to go back and rest first."
"Um."
Zhulan looked inside the room and saw Zhou Shuren holding his son and copying calligraphy. She was very tired today and planned to go back and lie down for a while.
In the first room, Li and the other daughters came back, "Did your grandmother leave you to ask Ran Wan?"
Yu Lu narrowed her eyes and said, "Mom, you are so smart."
Li was used to teasing her from time to time, so she took her hand and asked, "My dear, what do you think of Ran Wan?"
Today she was so nervous that she had to deal with the second wife of the Ran family. She only glanced at him secretly a few times and said nothing.
Yu Lu told her mother in detail, "Ran Wan is delicate, thoughtful, calm and generous. I think Ran Wan is a bit like my brother. The two of them can get along well. Mom, Ran Wan is a smart person. Your worries are unnecessary."
Li has always believed that her daughter is very capable. If she thinks she is good, then she must be good. "I can rest assured now."
Yu Lu asked curiously, "Mom, did you ask big brother how he felt?"
Li smiled secretly, "I asked, and your eldest brother's ears turned red. Without waiting for me to say anything more, your eldest brother ran away. Speaking of which, Ran Wan is really good-looking. I, who was born in that year, can't say with a clear conscience that your eldest brother is handsome."
My son was very handsome when he was young, but now that he has grown up, he is not as handsome as before. If you look closely at his profile, he looks especially like his father-in-law!
Yu Lu sighed, "Big brother is indeed not as good-looking as before, especially as the eldest grandson. Not only does he have to be a role model, but he also has to take care of Ming Teng and his friends. I don't even want to see Big brother's face. He has to put on makeup all day long."
Li said, "Yes, even I, as a mother, am a little scared of him. Your father is also afraid of your eldest brother!"
Yu Lu giggled. Her parents were the most interesting. They were afraid of their son and their daughter.
In the second room, Zhao sighed, "It's incomparable, Mingyun and Yulu both got married well."
Yu Shuang comforted her mother, "Mom, everyone has their own destiny, you can't envy them."
Zhao: "Fate is one factor, but the main reason is that the eldest son has more sons."
Yu Shuang thought, fortunately, my mother still has hope of giving birth, otherwise, she would keep worrying about it and would get stuck in a dead end sooner or later. "Mom, your main thing right now is to take care of your body, don't think about anything else."
Zhao touched her belly and said, "I can only take care of myself."
She couldn't get involved in other matters and sighed in her heart. Now the first wife had two good marriages and she had become successful, so only the second wife was left.
In Zhoujia Village, Xuemei frowned, "Brother, you just came back, don't rush back, it won't be too late to rest for a few days before leaving."
Boss Zhou waved his hand, "I have already been delayed for quite some time on this round trip, and I have many things to do at home, so I will not rest for long, and will set off tomorrow."
Xuemei was reluctant to leave. It felt different to have her family around. Although no one bullied her in Zhoujia Village, she felt lonely. The entire Zhou family was in Jinzhou and she was the only one here.
Zhou Laoer said, "If you miss your parents, go back."
Xuemei sighed, "Second brother, I do want to go back, but you can't leave me."
This family needs her everywhere, inside and outside. There are so many children in the family, it's not like she can just leave.
Zhou Laoer stopped talking and said, "Wait until the child grows up."
Xuemei smiled and said, "When Jiang Lei is older, Xuehan will be married soon. I will go back then."
Zhou Laoda said: "Okay, I'll pick you up then."
Xuemei said, "That's settled."
"It's a deal."
At night, Xuemei and Jiang Sheng rested. Xuemei took a body test and said, "Brother will leave tomorrow."
Jiang Sheng, "What do you want to say?"
My wife wouldn't talk to him about this for no reason.
Xuemei whispered, "I'm wondering if I should let my son go back with me."
Jiang Sheng really didn't know his daughter-in-law had such thoughts, "It's better not to do it. My son is doing well in the clan school."
Xuemei, "I didn't say that my son is not good at the clan school. It's just that as a mother, I hope that my son will do better. Look, Changlian passed the imperial examination and Rongchuan became a third place winner. This shows that Dad taught them well. I know Changlian best."
Jiang Sheng would be lying if he said he had no intentions, but, "You said at the beginning that you would not cause trouble for your parents-in-law."
Xuemei said quietly, "So I am conflicted. My parents have been very good to us, and I am embarrassed to send my son there."
Jiang Sheng hugged his wife and said, "Go to sleep and don't think about it."
Xuemei didn't want to think about it, but she couldn't control her thoughts. As a mother, she naturally hoped that her son would have a better future, but she was really embarrassed to let his father raise his grandson.
The next day, Xuemei and Jiang Sheng watched the carriage convoy leave. Jiang Sheng patted his wife's shoulder and said, "I won't go to the clan school today. I'll stay at home with you."
Xuemei, "I regret it. I should have mentioned it to my elder brother yesterday."
Jiang Sheng was more open-minded. "Come on, let's walk around the village. It's been a while since I walked with you."
The eldest and second eldest Zhou were sitting in a carriage. The eldest said, "My eldest sister wants to let Jiang Du go back with her."
Zhou Laoer, "Look at the examples of Changlian and Rongchuan. It would be abnormal if my elder sister didn't have this idea. Let's not talk about my elder sister. Let's talk about the time when I was in Zhoujia Village. Many people in the tribe were interested and hoped that I could bring a few back with me!"
"Fortunately, our family is only somewhat related to the clan leader's family, otherwise, we could have stuffed a few of them in there for us to take back."
Zhou Laoer smiled and said, "The clan leader won't allow it."
Boss Zhou: "That's true."
Zhou Laoer opened the curtain and looked at the fields outside the carriage. He felt emotional every time he came back. A few years ago, he was still a country man wearing a short coat, and he went to the city with a basket on his back, just like the farmers rushing on the road outside the carriage.
Now he is Zhou Erye. When his eldest brother went out to do business, he met the county magistrate and, yes, Wang Laosi. Wang Laosi hid whenever he saw him, as if he was afraid that he would bear a grudge against him.
He has changed over the years, but Wang Laosi has not changed at all. This is what my father said, the environment changes people. The only thing that has changed for Wang Laosi in Zhoujia Village is his age, his temperament will never change.
Boss Zhou came over and asked, "What are you looking at? Why are you so absorbed in it?"
Zhou Laoer lowered the car curtain and said, "I was just lost in emotion. Brother, we have been away from our hometown for so many years, but it hasn't changed much. Only we have changed."
Zhou Laodao said: "Yes."
When he returned to Lijia Village, he found that his father-in-law's family had changed a lot, but still not as fast as the Zhou family. Fortunately, his father-in-law's family were all straightforward, so he didn't feel uncomfortable.
In Jinzhou, Zhulan went to Wang's house. Tao was playing with her son in the yard. Zhulan said, "Time flies so fast. In the blink of an eye, Wang Ji can even run on the ground."
