Chapter 8 I'm Getting Married
"Nope."
Zhou Li'an turned the thermos bottle over and showed them that it was really gone.
She was worried that the spiritual spring would be ineffective if it was too diluted, so she measured it out, one bowl per person.
Mother Zhou brought out the dishes and invited everyone to eat.
After everyone had put the dishes and chopsticks on the table, Zhang Qiaoli, the sister-in-law, slowly came out of her room. Others were used to it.
On the dinner table.
In addition to the shredded potatoes made by Zhou Li'an, Zhou's mother also brought out pickles and 'mold tofu'.
Before everyone started, Zhou's mother said: "Today's meal was cooked by An An."
Zhang Qiaoli held the bowl and rolled her eyes, thinking: What's so great about cooking, and why she even brought it out specifically to talk about it.
The second brother, Zhou Shuan, took a big mouthful of porridge, picked up a chopstick of shredded potatoes, and started praising mode after eating.
"As expected of my little sister, look at how fragrant the porridge is, and the shredded potatoes are sour, spicy and refreshing. I'm in a good mood today."
Zhou’s mother even laughed, “It sounds like I’ve treated you badly with the food I cooked before.”
Zhou Shuan quickly denied: "No, mom loves us."
"Okay, let's get down to business."
Zhou’s mother told Zhou Li’an that he wanted to repair a house and move out.
After Zhou Shuan heard this, the smile immediately disappeared from his face.
The eldest brother Zhou Guoan frowned and looked at Zhang Qiaoli, and Zhou's father also frowned. Only the two children were still eating quietly and quickly.
Only Zhang Qiaoli burst out laughing after being surprised. She clapped her hands and said, "That's a good relationship."
After saying that, his eyes turned quickly, and he could see what he was planning.
Zhou Shuan looked at Zhou Li'an: "Did someone bark in front of you again?"
Zhou Shuan used to give face to his sister-in-law.
Ever since the little sister came back and Zhang Qiaoli started to squeeze her, Zhou Shuan didn't want to give it anymore.
Zhang Qiaoli immediately realized that Zhou Shuan was talking about her, and she was so angry that she threw the bowl in her hand on the table, "You are the dog! Say it again!"
At the dinner table, the two children who were concentrating on cooking were startled by their mother when they heard this.
The second brother Zhou Shuan was about to say it again, but was interrupted by Zhou's mother.
Mother Zhou frowned coldly, "If I drop it again, don't eat it!"
After saying that, seeing Zhang Qiaoli die down, Zhou's mother expressed her opinion: "An'an told me the reason for moving out. I support it. It's good to have my own house, so the matter is settled."
Everyone at the table knew that with Mother Zhou's last words, there was no room for change in this matter.
The eldest brother Zhou Guoan looked at Zhou Li'an slightly guiltily. He felt that the fact that the younger sister moved out had something to do with Zhang Qiaoli.
It was his fault as a big brother that he couldn't control Zhang Qiaoli.
He has told the other party many times, but it doesn't make sense at all.
"Brother will fetch water for you later."
The second brother, Zhou Shuan, was not to be outdone: "I'll go too, and I'll pack my little sister's furniture."
"Thank you, big brother and second brother."
Zhou Li'an would not say rejection at this time without knowing what is right.
Mother Zhou looked at the relationship between the brothers and sisters with satisfaction, and after a while she said: "There is one more thing."
Others put down their chopsticks and continued to listen to Mother Zhou.
"I plan to build two more houses at home, one for the elder and one for the second."
After hearing this, Zhang Qiaoli stopped her chopsticks. She frowned and muttered dissatisfiedly: "The house is empty, why should we repair it? Is it too much money to burn?"
Mother Zhou's face was cold and she looked at Zhang Qiaoli with cold eyes, "I don't care what other people do, but our family doesn't like the idea of taking over the house when our daughter gets married."
"The co-author is your daughter Jin Gui."
Zhang Qiaoli refused to accept it and wanted to see if her brother and sister-in-law would not occupy the house after their daughter got married.
"yes."
Zhou’s mother admitted it directly and generously, which made Zhang Qiaoli choke.
After reacting, Zhang Qiaoli continued: "Where did the family get so much money? Can Zhou Li'an pay for it?"
"Why should my daughter have to pay for the house where your child will live?"
Zhou's mother looked at Zhang Qiaoli with boredom, "Originally, this house has been repaired for a long time. Without the 80 yuan you shamelessly borrowed, it would have been repaired at the beginning of this year."
As a mother, it's not that she can't see it.
The eldest daughter has two children and cannot live in that house, so she has already started saving money to build a house.
Zhou Shuan thought of himself and his family's situation, and said to his mother: "Mom, you only need to repair one room, I don't need to."
"Why don't you use it? You also have to have a biological child. You can do it all at once, and you can do it again later when you can save time."
"The eight poles are still missing." Zhou Shuan finished taking a mouthful of porridge.
Zhou Li'an is lying when he says he won't be touched.
Even after a few decades, everyone's conditions have improved relatively, and not many families are able to keep their houses after their daughters get married.
But even though he was moved, Zhou Li'an also wanted to think more about the Zhou family.
She wanted to take the Zhou family out if she had the opportunity later.
When they leave with her, the house will be empty. Wouldn't it be a waste?
After thinking about it, Zhou Li'an pulled Zhou's mother's sleeve and said, "Mom, come with me. I have something to tell you."
Seeing her precious daughter say this, Zhou's mother had no choice but to follow Zhou Li'an and leave the table first.
The two entered Zhou Lianna's house.
"Mom, I don't think we need to renovate the house at home. Let the children live in my house. My second brother will get married for a while. Nowadays, many people have to redecorate their houses when they get married, so it will be better to do it then."
"After I repair the house, it's close to home, so I shouldn't need to come back to live there."
"I know Mom is doing it for my own good. I already know that. I don't want my family's money to go to waste. I may keep it for other needs in the future."
"Mom is afraid of wronging you." Zhou's mother took Zhou Li'an's hand.
"I know mom, as long as you are here, I will not feel wronged."
Since her daughter said so, Zhou's mother had no choice but to give up.
But she had thought about it. When her daughter repaired the house, she would have to give her money.
The family has taken over her daughter’s house, why can’t she give her some money?
After the mother and daughter finished talking, Zhou's mother came back and talked about not repairing the house.
Zhou's father and two brothers knew that this was a joint decision made by the family's mother and younger sister, so they did not express their opinions.
After Zhang Qiaoli heard this, she happily started eating.
·
After the meal, the others went to work, while Zhou Li'an went to the entrance of the village to wait for others.
The doctor who came to give nutritional injections didn't know that they were no longer at Lu's house, so he needed to pick them up.
After receiving the doctor who came for the injection, Zhou Li'an watched over Lu Yanzhou and finished injecting the nutritional injection, then went to the river with a small bucket.
There were also half-cooked potatoes that Zhou Li'an had steamed before in the bucket. This was the bait she made for fishing.
If you catch it, you can add food to your family.
When he was not traveling through time, Zhou Li'an often accompanied his family's elders to fishing resorts, and he was considered an experienced fisherman.
The fishhook made of embroidery needles was hung with bait, and soon after it was put down, the fishing rod moved.
Zhou Li'an waited for a while, then neatly closed the rod, and saw a palm-sized crucian carp pulled up.
This is normal, big fish are not common these days.
Zhou Li'an used the cover of the small bucket to directly take the fish into the space and raise it in the space fish pond.
In the next half hour, she caught a few more fish, all of which were small fish, and she took them all into the space.
While continuing to fish, Zhou Li'an suddenly heard a voice coming from behind:
Chapter completed!
