After lunch, Zhou Zhi and Kou Peihan sat at Kou's house for a while before setting off home. According to the instructions of the main mother Kou Yang, Kou Zhong had already arranged for people to load many supplies for the New Year into the carriage.

Half a slice of pork, a whole sheep, a few jars of fine carved wine, and all kinds of silk and satin, and even some gold and silver jewelry, stuffed almost half a cart. The remaining space in the car can only accommodate Zhou Zhi and Kou Peihan.

Now that the life of the Zhou family is better, they can naturally afford these supplies, and meat such as pigs and sheep is not worth a few dollars. But this is the heart of being a mother, and it must be endured. Zhou Zhi is naturally a good student again, thank you.

Kou Peihan lifted the curtain and glanced at it, then pursed his lips and said dissatisfiedly, "Hmph! It is said that the daughter who married out spilled the water, but at first I didn't believe it, but now I really believe it. Mother and father don't feel sorry for their daughter, so they just put such a little thing on them, alas! It's a miserable life! ”

Hehe! Kou Peihan's little mouth is brutal enough.

Kou Dagang and Kou Yang laughed almost at the same time, "The girl is wronged, if this carriage is loaded with things, the two of you will have nowhere to stay!" ”

Kou Peihan immediately said, "What if you can't tolerate yourself?" Can't my father and mother send a carriage to take me and my father-in-law? ”

Her words made Kou Dagang and Kou Yang cry and laugh. said secretly, this girl, after marrying, she no longer thinks about her family, she always thinks about her husband's family, why has she become such a miser now?

Zhou Zhi glanced at Kou Peihan and said, "Han'er, don't talk like this, my father-in-law and mother-in-law have us in their hearts!" Get in the car! ”

Kou Peihan got into the car unhappily.

Then Zhou Zhi said goodbye to them and got into the carriage.

The carriage slowly drove away from the gate of the Kou family, and Kou Dagang, Kou Yang, and a group of servants stood at the gate and waved their hands. At this time, Kou Peihan had already lifted the curtain, poked his head out, twisted his head and waved gently to everyone, and his eyes clearly contained crystal tears.

It wasn't until the carriage turned onto the main street of the county seat and couldn't see the gate of Kou's house that Kou Peihan slowly retracted his head and plunged into Zhou Zhi's arms.

Zhou Zhi gently patted Kou Peihan's weak back and comforted him in a low voice.

The delicate wife Kou Peihan is such a character, there is no lack of gentleness in the rudeness, and she is a pure and filial person.

Only such a woman can make Zhou Zhi happy, and she is Zhou Zhi's favorite.

When the carriage left the county seat, it galloped wildly. At this time, Zhou Zhi's heart became more and more uneasy. Today, I saw that my father-in-law Kou Dagang was full of hope for promotion, but Zhou Zhi always felt that this matter was very mysterious, so Guo Xun might get in the way.

Alas! I hope Guo Xun is not the kind of person he thinks, and he will repay him!

Return to Zhou's house before dark, and the day's trip ends.

At dinner, Zhou Zhicai and his father Zhou Tie talked about the formation of Yicang and asked his father to help. As expected in advance, Daddy Zhou Tie almost said the same as Lu Xingchuan's father, Lu Qiusheng, saying that this is a great thing and a matter of accumulating virtue for future generations. He readily agreed.

Yes, once upon a time, the Zhou family was so poor, and sometimes they needed help from other people's families, but now they are going to help others, and Daddy Zhou Tie was excited for a while. A pair of big eyes looked at Zhou Zhi, and the indescribable appreciation and pride in his heart.

I thought that after going to my father-in-law's house and returning home, the busyness of the previous year should be over. The preparations for the New Year at home are all made by his father Zhou Tie and his mother Zhou He's Zhang Luo, and they are completely idle.

But early in the morning of the second day after returning, villager Zhang Bing came to the door with a live chicken and said that Yang Zhou wrote Spring Festival couplets.

Zhang Bing is a very active person, when Zhou Zhi made money in the vegetable greenhouse, he helped Zhou Zhi to make the greenhouse, learned the technology, and built the greenhouse himself in the second year. Although they didn't earn a lot of silver like Zhou Zhi, they were much better than simply planting crops, and their family's life was much better.

He and Zhou Zhi are very familiar with each other, and Zhou Zhi naturally can't refuse. However, the live chicken categorically couldn't be wanted, so he asked him to bring it back after writing the Spring Festival couplets.

With Zhang Bing, the first person, followed by other villagers, this week will be busy every day.

What surprised Zhou Zhi was that in addition to the villagers of Baiyue Village, many villagers from neighboring villages also came to Yang Zhou Zhi to write Spring Festival couplets. Zhou Zhidu did not refuse.

Although it delayed the study, it made the villagers happy and satisfied.

In fact, there are not a few people who read in the nearby townships, such as Yue Shuzhen and Chen Wenju in Baiyue Village, but the villagers are almost all looking for Zhou Zhi to write Spring Festival couplets.

No way, who let the Zhou family be honest and treat people kindly?

It should be a practice of calligraphy, Zhou Zhi thought.

This was busy until the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month.

This day was finally free, and Zhou Zhi finally had the time to read and write.

On the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month, Chinese New Year's Eve, the Spring Festival Zhou Zhi should rest for three days and live a good year.

The Zhou family's current New Year is naturally very different from before, and it is very lively.

In this way, in a festive atmosphere, we ushered in the eleventh year of the Ming Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty. There will be a township test in the autumn of this year. In this way, there are only eight months left before now, so Zhou Zhi studied at home after a small gathering with Fan Jin, Lu Xingchuan and others after the New Year.

The days passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it was the sixteenth day of the first month of the year after the year. On the twenty-second day of the first month, the school opened, so that Zhou Zhi would leave for Beijing in two days at most.

On this day, I just had lunch, and Zhou Tong, who was the gatekeeper, came in in a hurry to report that the young grandmother's maiden family was coming and was waiting outside the gate at this time.

When Kou Peihan heard this, he was immediately stunned.

Zhou Zhi was also slightly stunned, he only went to Kou's house a few years ago, it was very peaceful, and he came at this time, could it be that something happened?

The two of them hurried out of the house and ran to the gate, where a carriage stopped outside. The old butler Kou Zhong was standing under the car with an anxious face.

Kou Zhong is here.

Hum! This Zhou Tong really didn't have any eyebrows, the old housekeeper Kou Zhong came, and he was not in a hurry to invite him into the house, and even let him wait here.

But then I thought about it, in fact, this is not surprising. Zhou Tong had never seen Kou Zhong once, so he naturally had to act according to the rules of the Zhou family.

Zhou Zhi and Kou Peihan hurriedly stepped forward to salute, and Kou Zhong returned the salute with a sad face.

"Uncle Cob, how did you come in person? Could it be that something is going on at home? Kou Peihan asked anxiously.

In fact, she knew from Kou Zhong's expression that something might not be good, so Kou Peihan's voice trembled a little when she asked.

Kou Zhong said bitterly, "Alas! The Kou family has a big deal! ”
