Chapter 196: Meeting Aunt Zhou Again
It wasn't time for school to start yet, so it didn't stop him from wanting to see Zhou Ran.
Shi Yu picked out some gifts and prepared to go to Zhou's house to pay New Year greetings.
Anyway, he got along well with Zhou Ran's family, and going to pay them New Year's greetings would also give him an excuse to see her.
With this in mind, Shi Yu went to Zhou's house the next day.
At this time, Brother Wednesday, Brother Thursday and Sister-in-law Wednesday had returned to the city.
After their annual leave, both Zhou Qingli and Zhou Qingzhi have to continue working.
The rest of the Zhou family stayed at home.
In the past few days, most of my relatives have left. It is not yet time to go to work, so everyone is idle.
Seeing Shi Yu coming to the door, the Zhou family was very enthusiastic.
Regardless of whether Zhou Ran can accept Shi Yu or not, this child is at least polite and talkative, and He Chunhua likes her quite a bit.
He Chunhua couldn't help but think, why couldn't she have another daughter? Otherwise, it would be nice to have another son-in-law like Shi Yu.
"Hey, Teacher Shi, why did you come to my house?"
When He Chunhua saw Shi Yu, she took the initiative to greet Shi Yu.
Shi Yu stuffed the festive gift he had prepared into He Chunhua's hand, "Auntie, of course I'm here to pay you New Year's greetings.
Auntie, Happy New Year."
He Chunhua held a hand full of gifts and said, "Hey, you kid, you are so polite, I don't even know what to say to you.
When you come to pay New Year greetings, why do you bring so many things with you?
There are too many of these and they are too valuable, please take some back, otherwise my aunt will feel very sorry."
Shi Yu said with a smile, "It's okay, Auntie, just keep it. There aren't many of these, so I just bought them."
If you think it's too much, just ask me to come home for a few meals later, and there's no need to feel bad.
Hehe, I love to eat Auntie’s food, especially the food cooked by Teacher Zhou."
It was not easy for He Chunhua to think about Shi Yu.
My family's conditions are so good, but I ended up working as a teacher in the countryside, so I guess I'm not used to the life.
Shi Yu is a grown man and has been pampered since childhood. How can he cook?
Don't blame him for wanting to come home and have more meals. Their Zhou family's food is always better than what he cooks himself.
"Okay, since you said that, Auntie won't be polite to you anymore. When school starts, come to Auntie's house for dinner more often."
Shi Yu nodded happily.
If you come here to eat more, you can have more contact with Zhou Ran, right?
That guy Shen Zhian is probably going to be pissed to death.
But thinking about Shen Zhian's angry look, Shi Yu was actually quite happy.
"Now come in and sit down, Ranran, and you can give Teacher Shi a glass of water."
When guests come to your door, the host must entertain them more.
Zhou Ran responded, but Shi Yu quickly stood up and said, "Aunt, no, I'll do it myself. How can I get Teacher Zhou to pour me water?"
With that said, Shi Yu didn't look outside and poured the water himself.
Shi Yu had a meal at Zhou's house and lingered for a while in the afternoon before going back.
Before leaving, Shi Yu also greeted He Chunhua and Zhou Ran, "Auntie, Teacher Zhou, if you are not busy at home, please come to my house to sit down if you have time."
He Chunhua responded, "Okay, Auntie knows."
With such words of agreement, He Chunhua had no real intention to go to Shi Yu's house to pay New Year's greetings.
How can country people like them achieve such conditions?
Even if Shi Yu doesn't dislike them, there's no guarantee that Shi Yu's family won't dislike them, right?
Although he didn't go to Shi Yu's house to pay New Year's greetings, Zhou Ran planned to go to the county town.
She planned to deliver some goods to Mr. Liu.
There are a lot of goods in the farm system. I have nothing to do at home these days. I want to sell more goods and earn more money.
The piglets we raised before are now ready for slaughter.
All this pork is ready for sale.
There are also chickens raised.
There are a lot of chickens and eggs, so take advantage of them to raise them and make more money.
With Shen Zhian away, it would be convenient for Zhou Ran to go find Mr. Liu alone.
Seeing Zhou Ran come over and sell so many goods this time, Mr. Liu was also very happy.
What Zhou Ran does is all good stuff.
Meat was relatively scarce to begin with, so Zhou Ran not only got a lot of meat for him, but it was also all top quality meat.
It has more fat and less lean meat, so it is particularly popular in the market.
I don’t know where Zhou Ran got it from, or what kind of pigs could be raised so fat.
He was curious, but Mr. Liu didn't know how to ask Zhou Ran.
The most taboo thing in their profession is to explore other people's sources of goods.
After all, if it can be resold on the black market, it cannot come from a legitimate source.
In this shipment, Zhou Ran directly sold 30,000 yuan worth of goods.
With money in her pocket, Zhou Ran is now a little rich woman.
But this money seems to be a lot, and it will be gone if I buy a few courtyard houses in the future.
After Zhou Ran finished shipping the goods from Mr. Liu, he went to the supply and marketing cooperative.
She promised the students years ago that if their test scores are good this time and they perform well, she will give them some rewards.
Now, basically every student in the class has done well in the exam. Of course, Zhou Ran has to keep his promise and choose some gifts for the students to reward them.
They are all half-grown children, and their favorite thing to eat is candy.
Adding up the first and second grades, there are seventy or eighty students.
Zhou Ran directly bought five kilograms of candy.
With so many candies, each student can share a lot.
Zhou Ran will also receive additional rewards for those who get perfect scores on the math test in the class.
The girl chose a set of colored paintbrushes.
Girls like to write and draw, so they should like this kind of gift.
The boys chose fountain pens, which were about the same price as colored paintbrushes.
After making the purchase, Zhou Ran was about to check out and go back, but unexpectedly he ran into Zhang Ying and Tuesday Gu.
Zhang Ying couldn't help but see Zhou Ran now, but as soon as she came in, her eyes couldn't help but be attracted to Zhou Ran.
Zhang Ying feels that she is good-looking, and now when she meets a girl who is prettier than herself, she will unconsciously be noticed and looked at.
But Aunt Zhou knew about Zhou Ran.
Aunt Zhou's face doesn't look very good.
Seeing Zhou Ran, Aunt Zhou would think of this unpleasant New Year greeting experience.
Zhang Ying naturally saw that something was wrong with Gu Zhou's expression.
Zhang Ying asked Aunt Zhou Zhou, "Mom, what are you looking at? What's wrong?"
Gu Zhou pointed at Zhou Ran and said to Zhang Ying, "Yingying, this is that girl Zhou Ran."
After hearing Aunt Zhou's words, Zhang Ying's eyes flashed with surprise.
Although she was mentally prepared, Zhang Ying still felt very uncomfortable when she saw Zhou Ran's current appearance.
Is this Zhou Ran?
How could that dead fat pig become like this now?
Zhang Ying's face heated up when she thought of what she had said when she laughed at Zhou Ran.
From now on, in front of Zhou Ran, not only would she not have the capital to show off her beauty, but she would also have to be overpowered by Zhou Ran.
If someone else had pressured her, Zhang Ying might not feel anything.
But Zhou Ran was different. After all, this woman was someone she had always looked down on before.
"Mom, are you right?" Zhang Ying asked unwillingly.
