CHAPTER XLII
Zhou Guodong, who bought a watch, was like a peacock with the screen open, full of joy but couldn't tell others, Zhou Guodong felt a little panicked in his heart.
Fortunately, Zeng Aiqiao was particularly supportive, even if Zhou Guodong had told him how he arrived at the black market and sold his watch no less than dozens of times, every time she finished speaking, Zeng Aiqiao would still applaud him, which greatly satisfied Zhou Guodong's ostentatious psychology.
At this moment, Zhou An came to the door again.
"Second uncle, do you have something to do tomorrow? Hehehehehe! ”
"Okay, if you have something to say, I can see it, you just have nothing to do and go to the Three Treasures Palace!" Zhou Guodong looked at Zhou An's flattering look and shrugged his shoulders awkwardly.
Zhou An laughed again, "Second uncle, accompany me to the town tomorrow!" I still haven't bought anything! ”
Zhou An and Zhou Guodong were afraid that there would be problems after buying watches and sewing machines, so they didn't even bother to buy other things, and after receiving the sewing machine in the alley, they immediately returned to Zhoujia Village.
Zhou An came back and calculated, tomorrow at least a few feet of cloth to make clothes, and then pots and pans, these things took up too much space, and it was not enough for him to ride a bicycle, so he had to come to Zhou Guodong again for help.
What else can Zhou Guodong do? I had to promise to accompany him again tomorrow.
After finishing tomorrow's business, Zhou An felt a little bored.
But the tradition of Zhoujia Village is too strange.
Zhou An appreciates the rule that the woman can live in the man's house after the marriage, but he now hates the rule that he can't meet the woman a few days before the marriage.
If it weren't too unbelievable, he would have doubted that his grandfather had traveled through ancient times, and he was so pedantic.
But thinking about the previous wayward rule, Zhou An vetoed this idea again.
Zhou An, who had nothing to do, decided to harass his two younger sisters.
On Monday, Mei and Zhou Aihua were reading a book.
The two are not as laid-back as Zhou An, even when Zhou Aihua is fine, he will dig some earthworms and come back to feed the chickens, and Zhou Zhou Mei will sometimes go to the foot of the mountain with the children in the village to pick up mushrooms.
After the work is done, the two of them will calm down and read the book.
It was at this time that Zhou An came over.
Zhou Aihua stretched out his head and looked behind Zhou An, but he didn't see Chen Yan's figure, and the smile on his face instantly dimmed.
"Brother, where is Sister Chen Yan? Why didn't she come? Aihua misses her so much. ”
Zhou An didn't expect Zhou Aihua to like Chen Yan so much, so he had to lower his body, hold Zhou Aihua in his arms, use one hand to fix the little ball in his arms, and pat Zhou Aihua's back with the other hand and comforted: "Bear with me, you will call her sister-in-law in two days, and your sister-in-law can teach you to read in the future." ”
Zhou Aihua had an aggrieved face: "Hmph, you said so a long time ago, and there is no news until now, hum." ”
There were two hums in one sentence, which fully expressed Zhou Aihua's dissatisfaction with Zhou An.
Zhou An thought about it, just a dozen papers, the results should be able to come out tomorrow, right? I happened to go with my second uncle to have a look.
"Don't make a fuss, okay? My brother promises you that tomorrow my brother will go to get the test papers, and when my brother and sister-in-law are married, she will teach you. ”
Zhou Aihua was still a little unhappy, but the sensible didn't say anything. Immediately, as if she remembered something, she pulled Zhou An towards the house with an excited face: "Brother, brother, I'll take you to see your brother, my brother is so young and good-looking." ”
Zhou Anxin thought that he had just given birth to the little monkey, he had seen it all, how could it be bigger than the little monkey now, right?
As for looking good or something, Zhou An's first impression of this younger brother was too deep, his whole body was red, and he was ugly, even if he looked at it later, his body was already a lot whiter and tenderer, but Zhou An still felt ugly.
Although Zhou An thought so in his heart, he still couldn't bear to destroy the joy that Zhou Aihua was eager to share, and obediently followed her in.
Zhou Xiuqin was also inside, and as soon as Zhou An entered, he heard her say, "Come in quickly and close the curtain." ”
Zhou An also knew that a woman in confinement could not see the wind, so he immediately closed the curtain.
The baby is sleeping, and the little arms and legs are wrapped in the small quilt, but it can be seen that it is a lively and active one, and a piece of the small quilt bulges out from time to time.
Zhou An walked over, stretched out his hand with some curiosity, and carefully poked the baby's little face, and then he poked out a small meat pit.
Isn't this a little too fat?
But although he is a little fatter, but the child is the same every day, and the baby is much whiter than the last time Zhou An saw it, and the white and chubby ones are quite cute.
Zhou An felt that he liked this younger brother a little.
I don't know what he dreamed of, his small mouth chirped, and saliva flowed from the corners of his mouth.
Next to the baby was a piece of cloth, Zhou An reached out and picked up the cloth to wipe the saliva next to the small mouth, "Second aunt, what's my brother's name?" "He can't keep calling baby, baby, it's awkward.
Zeng Aiqiao was still holding the hen soup that Zhou Xiuqin had specially boiled for her, and smiled when she heard this: "Your second uncle said that he would call him Xiaobao, and the name has not been thought of yet." ”
All right! Zhou An comforted himself that Xiaobao is much better than calling a baby.
Zhou An teased Xiaobao for a while, and then returned to his house. After all, although the baby is good-looking, he is asleep now, and he can only move his arms and legs, and he can't even speak, Zhou Anke is not as patient as Zhou Xiuqin.
Zhou An's room is still quite complete, but when Chen Yan comes to live, it is impossible to live in the same room with him, even if Chen Yan believes him, he can't believe his self-control.
He had that dream before the two of them were together, and after living together, he was really afraid that he would do something inferior to a beast.
In addition to Zhou Guodong's house, there are now eight rooms in the courtyard of the Zhou family.
There were three rooms that were the small homes of Zhou Xiuqin and Zhou Xiuqi, and there was still a trace between them and the other five houses, which were the walls built when Zhou Guojun was separated.
Later, Zhou Xiuqin moved back, and the wall was demolished, but the trace is still there.
If he had been divided, those two men would have had three rooms. Zhou An's room is special, and it is not close to the left or the right, so any one can be lived in for Chen Yan.
However, the room on the left is used by the Zhou family to put things, it is relatively large, and Zhou Guojun and Hong Xiumei will clean it from time to time, so there is not so much dust.
Chen Yan herself chose the one on the left.
In this era, it was all manual, so Zhou An came back after a walk around to help Zhou Guojun build a wall and do coolies.
Zhou Guojun and Hong Xiumei saw Zhou An sweating and laughed. It's not easy, my son is rare and diligent for a while, in the end, he is going to start a family, and he has grown up!
Zhou An was tired and wanted to breathe, his room was in the innermost, he was very satisfied with his room, and he had no intention of moving one at all, so now they not only have to build a wall but also build a path.
Zhou An, who was too tired, didn't eat dinner, and barely took a shower and fell asleep.
Then, when he got up the next day, Zhou An felt that he was like a high-level amputation, and his whole body was not obeyed.
Zhou Guodong finally dragged Zhou An into the ox cart like a dead dog, panting tiredly, he looked at Zhou An's small body a little puzzled, and wondered a little in his heart, why did Zhou An look so thin but so heavy? Accustomed to farm work, he almost didn't move!
He knew that Zhou An, in order to maintain his image, insisted on exercising every day, although he looked thin, he actually still had muscles, and the four-pack abs would definitely make Chen Yan love it.
Of course, such a narcissistic idea is definitely Zhou An's unilateral idea, and Chen Yan has no idea.
Zhou An'an, who was tired and paralyzed, turned the regiment commanded by Zhou Guodong with one mouth.
"Second uncle, that, Xiaoyan wants to eat more meat to make up for it."
"Second uncle, there is alabaster, do you want to get one for the second aunt?"
"Second uncle, that..."
"Second uncle, this..."
"Second Uncle ,... ..."
The final result was that Zhou An, who had rested for most of the day, began to live again, but Zhou Guodong was like being sucked by a monster, paralyzed on the ox cart, looking like he had more air out and less air in.
"Second uncle, I......"Zhou An opened his mouth again in Zhou Guodong's terrifying gaze.
"Wait, why are you doing so much? Where did you get so much money to buy so many things? ”
Zhou An's face was full of innocence, "This is what my grandmother gave me, I will make a kiss, but I can't buy more things!" ”
Zhou Guodong vomited blood: It seems that no one has only made a kiss once.
Zhou Guodong reluctantly stood up, his face was expressionless, his voice was cold, and he had the vicissitudes of life on his body, "Say, what else do you have to do?" ”
If it weren't for the trembling voice, Zhou An would have thought that Zhou Guodong, who couldn't stand up just now, was an illusion.
Looking at the sad back, Zhou An didn't have the slightest pity, "Second uncle, I still have to go to the photo studio to get the photos, and I still have a basin to put there." ”
Alas, in fact, Zhou An still relented, he originally wanted to go to Director Yang's place to see!
Zhou Guodong not only trembled in his voice now, but even his hands were trembling, and he pointed to the center of the street tremblingly: "Are you talking about the photo studio there?" ”
The ox cart was parked at the entrance of the town, because the ox cart was too big and took up too much space, so it couldn't get in at all.
The photo studio is in the center of the street, farther than the supply and marketing cooperative, for Zhou Guodong, who just wants to sleep now, the photo studio is simply the distance between heaven and earth!
Zhou Ann was unsympathetic: "Yes, that's it, let's go." ”
In the end, Zhou Guodong didn't know how it returned to Zhoujia Village, he felt that his consciousness had been scattered, and he would only numbly catch the car, then move things, and then his eyes were dark and he fell asleep.
"Alas, this kid." Zhou Xiuqin looked at Zhou Guodong who was asleep upside down, and then looked at Zhou An, who was alive and well next to him, and really couldn't figure out what happened to make Zhou Guodong so tired.
