"Zhou Mingqian, you're not allowed to ride. Stay home and get back to your room." Zhou's father didn't dare to raise his voice at his wife, but couldn't he discipline his son?
Zhou Mingqian withdrew from the battlefield of their argument and slipped over to Chen Banxia's side, complaining softly, "Wife, this is really too much for me. Tell me, what does this have to do with me? Sigh, Auntie, how did she manage to let people overhear her talking badly about others?"
"I don't think you're being wronged. How can you say that? Aren't you afraid your mother will be driven to death?"
"Hehe, they used to come several times a year a long time ago, and I got used to it. It's only because I have a daughter-in-law that they've toned it down a lot."
Shen Banxia twitched her lips. Well, Aunt Zhu was right after all.
No wonder he so casually asked the old lady to help him carry things.
The elderly couple were still arguing when Aunt Zhu couldn't help but yawn. "Sigh, it looks like I can't leave. I'll just have to go back and get it myself next time," she said, picking up her empty rice bowl and heading home.
Shen Banxia: ...
She often felt that she had already integrated into this era, but after experiencing it all, she realized that she was still too naive.
No wonder no one else in their family came out except for Aunt Zhu.
I imagine that if it weren't for wanting my mother-in-law to bring something back, I probably wouldn't have come out at all.
To be honest, there were only two households living at the foot of this mountain.
It is said that Grandpa Zhou specially had someone calculate the location.
Of course, due to the prevailing social atmosphere, no one talks about this anymore. But Zhou Mingqian, that big mouth, still dug up all the stories of their family's ancestors after the two started dating.
Seeing that the elderly couple was still not finished, Shen Banxia couldn't help but yawn, and even some saline solution came out.
She quietly leaned closer to Zhou Mingqian and asked, "What do you think will happen in the end?"
"My dad managed to appease my mom."
Forgive Shen Banxia for being so ignorant, but can her father-in-law, who is so taciturn, really coax his own mother-in-law?
The main issue is that Zhou Mingqian has no concept of what it means to have had sex several times a year when he was younger.
"Are you serious? I think my mother-in-law is quite adamant. And listen to her, she's still talking about my aunt's affairs."
“Sigh, when has my mother ever been less resolute? But as far as I can remember, she has never actually gone back to my uncle’s place because of an argument. My father always accompanied her the next day. When I was little, I even went with her a few times.”
Shen Banxia knew her husband had a good memory, "How much longer?"
"I estimate it will be dark by then. Let's go, let's not join the fun here. We haven't had dinner yet. While we're at it, I'll go cook you two poached eggs. The eggs are probably still in the henhouse."
"No way?" Shen Banxia didn't believe it; four days had already passed between them.
"Hehe, don't you believe me? You didn't notice before, did you? My mother had to pick up the eggs herself."
Shen Banxia's brow twitched; this was something her mother-in-law was capable of doing.
Looking at Zhou Mingqian, if it weren't for his handsome face, he would definitely look like a greasy and sleazy man.
"Aren't you afraid your mother-in-law will cause you trouble?"
"Hehe, at worst I'll just get a beating. Honey, just tell me if you want to eat eggs or not."
Shen Banxia nodded honestly.
In this era of scarcity, eggs were an extremely delicious and precious food.
"Isn't that right? Besides, Mom promised you an egg every day."
The couple quietly slipped inside.
Zhou Lao Er wanted to shout, but was immediately pulled back by Zhou Lao San, who said, "Second brother, don't interfere in eldest brother's affairs."
"Isn't this a bit inappropriate? Dad and Mom are still arguing."
Zhou Laosan: ...
He genuinely didn't understand what his second brother was thinking.
Is this an argument? It's clearly the mother scolding the father unilaterally.
Zhou Lao Er still looked worried, while Zhou Lao San simply didn't want to say anything.
This has only been the last seven or eight years. If we go back, it would happen several times a year, and my second brother would always be genuinely worried.
He moved directly next to Ge Hongying and said, "Wife, Dad and the others must have gone to eat something good. Let's go in too."
"Okay," another couple left.
In the end, only the arguing elderly couple and Zhou Lao Er and his wife remained in the courtyard, their faces filled with worry.
As for the children at home, they had already been sent inside to stay.
Arguments are fine, but children shouldn't be watching.
kitchen.
Zhou Mingqian touched eight eggs as he came in. "Hehe, wife, look at our two chickens, they're really doing well, they haven't been lazy all day."
"Are you planning to do all of this?"
"Hehe, look, four of them were promised to you by your mother. As for the other four, I accompanied you on a trip to the provincial capital. You worked so hard, so you should make up for it."
Shen Banxia gave a thumbs up.
Zhou Laosan came in and happened to hear this shameless remark.
He knew it.
"Big brother, me, me, me too. We work hard at home too."
Now it was Zhou Mingqian's turn to be speechless.
"Third brother, you really do have a dog's nose. I haven't even started yet."
"Hehe, big brother, I knew you were the most capable in our family."
"Okay, okay, stop it now. I don't like listening to this kind of sweet talk, but you're not wrong. Hmm, I'll share the egg with your wife."
Shen Banxia: ...
Your lips are practically pointing to the sky, you can't suppress them.
