Chapter 22: Remarriage

Sima Shu smiled but didn't answer, stood up, and entered the restaurant. Zhou Yao continues to enjoy the view of the restaurant on the lake.

"There is never a Wanhu boat, a reed fishing boat is running fast", Zhou Yao looked at the mottled pieces of the sunset sprinkled on the lake, and couldn't help but sigh, only boating on the lake can live up to such a beautiful scenery!

A small boat stopped in front of her eyes, and she heard Sima Shu say, "Let's take a boat from the lake."

"Okay", just in line with Zhou Yao's meaning, Zhou Jin happily boarded the boat.

Sitting on the boat, and then looking at the scenery on the lake, the blue waves, and the jumping sun, it is not a taste. Zhou Jin felt that the scenery was picturesque when he was in the floating restaurant, but at this time he was already the person in the painting.

Zhou Jia turned to Sima Shu and said, "As soon as I had a thought, I wanted to go boating on the lake, so you found a boat."

Sima Shu replied: "Such leisure and elegance, if I don't go on a boat with you, won't I have such a distant water"!

Zhou Jiao smiled knowingly, sure enough, those who understood her, Sima Shu also! He didn't need to tell Sima Shu what he thought, Sima Shu could think of it. Sima Shu understands her and puts all his thoughts into her, so he has a heart and soul with her.

Walking to a shore, the weeping willows on the shore of the lake hang quietly with thousands of green silks, reflected in the lake, and the emerald green branches and leaves reflect each other with the golden sunset.

The two of them abandoned the boat and went ashore, and walked along the winding path of the woods to an orchard. In the orchard, white pear blossoms and red peach blossoms are sprinkled all over the ground, and birdcages occasionally hang among the flowers, and from time to time there is a crisp cry.

Walking through the orchard, a courtyard appeared in front of me, with red tiles and white walls, silent. The bluestone slab at the entrance of the courtyard is a little old, but it is clean and moss-free.

Entering the courtyard gate, Zhou Yao found that the brick road in the yard had been swept clean and dust-free, and on the right hand side was a small vegetable garden, which was planted with leeks, lettuce, spinach, rape and various wild vegetables.

Among them, dandelions bloom with small yellow flowers, dotted with green all over the garden.

In the fence gate on the left-hand side, a hen with a flock of chicks was pecking, and a chick was trying to drill out of the fence, and its fat body was stuck, so anxious that it couldn't stop "chirping".

Zhou Yao smelled the fragrance of rice porridge, and when he looked closely, there was a stove in the northeast corner of the courtyard, on which porridge was boiling, and the fragrance was constantly emanating from the big iron pot.

"Yo, Yangyang is here", an old grandmother came out of the house, saw Sima Shu, and said happily.

The old woman was in her eighties, her thin body was slightly rickety, her hair was not completely white, and her thin wrinkled face was full of smiles.

"Grandma Zhang," Sima Shu shouted. Grandma Zhang agreed, pulled Sima Shu and said, "Come in, come in."

Sima Shu pulled Zhou Jin and said, "Grandma Zhang, this is what I told you about Zhou Jin."

Grandma Zhang happily took Zhou Yao's hand, looked her up and down, and said, "Really handsome, good, good boy."

"Hello Grandma Zhang", Zhou Jin said politely.

"Okay, okay, come, come in", Grandma Zhang pulled the two of them into the house. Entering the house, Grandma Zhang said, "Sit down, sit down."

After the two of them sat down, Sima Shu asked, "Where is Grandpa Zhang?"

Grandma Zhang said: "He, he's gone to see someone's doctor, he's been walking for half an hour, and he should be back soon."

Sima Shu said "oh", and Grandma Zhang greeted them: "Eat strawberries", then picked up the fruit plate on the table and handed it to Zhou Yao.

Zhou Yao stood up, caught it with both hands, and said politely, "Thank you."

"What's polite, this kid, eat quickly, strawberries are the sweetest in this season", Grandma Zhang said enthusiastically.

Although Zhou Jia had just had dinner, Grandma Zhang was so enthusiastic that she had to take two strawberries and then hand the fruit bowl to Sima Shu.

Grandma Zhang smiled, carefully examined Zhou Yao, praised and said: "This child is so handsome", and then said to Zhou Jin: "Let Yangyang take you to play early, he always says that you are busy, after this, I know, when you are not busy, you come to play frequently."

"Okay", Zhou Jin smiled back.

"Oh, by the way, I boiled gruel", Grandma Zhang hurriedly went out to the stove to watch the fire.

Zhou Yao saw her go out, and whispered to Sima Shu: "Where is this, it feels like a paradise." When I retire, I hope to have such a quiet place in the world, to retire for the rest of my life, and to enjoy the leisure of life before I grow old."

Sima Shu said: "If you marry me, I will be responsible for finding you a better place than this, and it will be good to die with you?"

"Think beautifully", Zhou Jiaojiao was disgusted.

As he was talking, an old man pushed the door and came in and said, "Yo, Yangyang is here."

Sima Shu and Zhou Jin hurriedly stood up, and Zhou Jin saw the old man in front of him, burly and tall, with strong spirits, big eyes, a wide nose, and thick lips.

Especially the pair of ears, which are wide and fleshy.

Zhou Jia sighed: Just by this pair of thick ears, you know that this person has a lot of kidney qi, no wonder he is so old that he still has the spirit of Ryoma.

Sima Shu shouted, "Grandpa Zhang."

Zhang Shiyuan agreed, said, "Sit, sit", then sat down and began to make tea.

While making tea, he said, "Your mother came here in the morning, put down such a gadget for me, and left in a hurry."

Zhou Yao took a look, there was a jade turtle lying on the tea set, this turtle carved finely, although it was lying on its stomach, but it looked into the distance, vivid and lovely, vivid.

Zhang Shiyuan continued to say to Sima Shu: "Your mother looks busier than you."

Sima Shu nodded in response, and Zhang Shiyuan asked him: "This year, don't your father and your mother plan to remarry?"
