Chapter 308: A Test of Ability
Zhou Shuren went to the side room and knocked on the door, and when Jiang Sheng came out, Zhou Shuren handed the quilt and diaper to Jiang Sheng with a dark face, "Are the children and Xuemei okay?" ”
Jiang Sheng's heart trembled, his father-in-law was in a very bad mood, recalling his mother-in-law's tired face, and understood why his father-in-law was angry with him, "The child and Xuemei are fine, Dad, you and your mother can rest assured that you should rest early!" ”
Zhou Shuren snorted, turned around and went back to the house, and when he entered the house, he saw that Zhulan had already slept.
Zhou Shuren blew out the candle on the kang, pinched Zhulan's nose in the dark, and said resentfully: "I really treat the children of the Zhou family as my own!" ”
Zhulan slapped Zhou Shuren's hand off when she was out of breath, and muttered in a daze, "Don't make trouble." ”
Zhou Shuren chuckled lightly and hugged Zhulan, this person, sometimes his heart is really too soft.
The next day, Zhulan didn't get up early, when she woke up, breakfast was ready, Zhulan's legs were a little uncomfortable, and she stood for a long time yesterday, and an hour and a half was three hours!
The rice porridge boiled by Li's for breakfast, the cornmeal cakes pasted, the steamed egg custard, the fried two green vegetables, and after breakfast, the oil, salt, sauce and vinegar brought back from Pingzhou were gone.
Xuemei rested for a night, drank rice porridge in the morning and ate five boiled eggs in one go, Xuemei's milk is good, and the condition of the two little ones is also good.
Zhulan sat next to her and changed the child's diaper and asked, "These two little guys are nine months old!" ”
Xuemei really didn't calculate, but mentally calculated, "Mother, it's been nine months." ”
Zhulan was relieved, she was not superstitious, but she was quite accurate in her original memory.
Xuemei bit the corner of her mouth, "Mother, I didn't expect them to come out in a hurry, I worked hard yesterday." ”
Zhulan smiled, "They will also rush the day, and both of them are blessed." ”
Xuemei thought that the two little guys were indeed blessed, the child was born in her mother's family, she was down-to-earth, with her mother by her side, she was extra relieved, for Xianggong, she didn't trust her so much, don't look at Xianggong's very stable, she panicked every time she gave birth to a child, this time it was still two children, if she was really born at home, she didn't know what the chaos would be!
Zhulan put the child away, she didn't dare to be light-hearted, these two children were too young, "I can do it at home with peace of mind, if I leave, and your second brother's family is here, with your second sister-in-law taking care of you, I can rest assured." ”
Xuemei blinked, "Didn't the second brother stay in his hometown and not go back?" ”
Zhulan nodded, "Well, this doesn't look like the autumn harvest is coming, he comes back to watch the autumn harvest, Jiang Sheng only takes care of the twenty acres of land in Zhoujia Village, and Jiang Sheng can take better care of you." ”
Xuemei didn't expect that she would get pregnant again, they should have taken care of her mother's land, "If only I hadn't been pregnant, the second brother's family wouldn't have to stay." ”
Zhulan smiled and said, "You are not pregnant, and your father will let your second brother come back." ”
Xuemei is indeed on the one hand, Zhou Shuren arranged several sons like this, and it was more that Zhou Shuren wanted to test the ability of the second child and Chang Lian to run the house alone.
Xuemei felt that something was wrong, although she didn't see a few sisters-in-law yesterday, but early in the morning she also heard some movement in the house, the second sister-in-law and her younger sister were affectionate to the eldest sister-in-law, she didn't forget the arrogance of her younger sisters, but she was a married girl, and it was troublesome enough to give birth to a child at home, so she still don't ask don't get involved.
Zhulan walked out of the house, and Jiang Sheng stepped forward, "Mother, my father is going back to Zhoujia Village, and I will go back together to get the things for the children." ”
Zhulan said: "Go ahead, Xuemei and the child have me watching." ”
Jiang Sheng saluted and said, "Thank you, mother." ”
Zhulan waited for Zhou Shuren to take Boss Zhou and Jiang Sheng away, and called the second child, "You send Old Man Lu back to the county, come back and buy all the things that are lacking in the family, I will write you a list in a while, you just buy it." ”
Zhou Laoer, "Mother, then I'll go to the car first." ”
"Okay, I'll pick up the order later."
"Hey!"
Zhulan took the pen and thought, there are really a lot of things missing at home, the girl is confined at home, pig's trotters, soybeans, crucian carp have to be sold, these stewed soups and milk, household oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, millet, rice, white noodles have to be bought, pork ribs have to be bought, roast chicken, sauce meat has to be bought, and the most important thing is to buy some roasted paper and wine for worship at the grave, as well as fruits.
Although the fruits of the Northeast are not particularly tasty such as snashi or hawthorn, they are also better than nothing.
Zhulan wrote while thinking, and she always wrote a page, and Zhulan's words were small, and she carefully counted the fifteen or sixteen things she wanted to buy.
Zhou Lao Er came back and glanced at the list, there are really a lot of good guys, "Mother, then I'll go." ”
"Yes."
After Zhou Lao Er sent Old Man Lu away, several daughters-in-law of the Zhou family, the Li family returned to their parents' house, and the Zhao family was packing up the luggage in the second room, and this time they came back to the second room with the most luggage, they wanted to stay in their hometown, but they didn't bring much things back, mainly clothes and quilts, and there was nothing missing in the house.
Zhulan was about to make the remaining fine cotton into small clothes, and Dong knocked on the door and came in, "Mother." ”
Zhulan motioned for Dong to sit, "I know your intentions, I will go to the grave to worship tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow, you and Chang Lian will go back to your mother's house to live for a few days." ”
Dong rejoiced, "Hey! ”
She just wanted to go back to her parents' house to see, her mother-in-law actually allowed her to go back to live for a few days, as long as she didn't step on her mother-in-law's bottom line, her mother-in-law was still generous to several daughters-in-law.
Dong picked up the fabric, "Mother, I'll help you sew." ”
"No, you can help me go and see your eldest sister, just call me if you have something."
Dong put down the fabric, "Hey." ”
Zhulan needlework is neat, and when Jiang Sheng comes back with the ox cart, she has made all the clothes, Zhulan is very satisfied with Jiang Sheng's washing of children's diapers, not to mention ancient times, even modern times There are many men who don't stretch out their hands, she thought that it was already rare to have a second Zhou in ancient times, and Jiang Sheng didn't dislike it if she didn't think about it, especially Jiang Sheng was still a showman, which was even more rare.
The four sons of the Zhou family, Boss Zhou is not the active type, the Li family is capable of commanding, or doing it behind people's backs, Zhou Lao Er doesn't care at all, as for Chang Lian, Zhulan doesn't have to bet, Chang Lian will definitely not stretch out a finger, Chang Zhi, Zhulan is really not sure, this kid is really concerned about what he cares about, and he won't pay attention at all if he doesn't care.
Jiang Sheng moved all the children's needs to the house, and when he saw his mother-in-law holding a basin to wash the children's clothes, he hurriedly stretched out his hand, "Mother, just leave it to me." ”
He didn't dare to work his mother-in-law, his father-in-law's face was so scary that he was so scared that he had his eyes open when he rested last night.
Now that his father-in-law has become a man, he may not be an official in the future, he is really afraid!
Zhulan watched Jiang Sheng take the basin away, and was silent, Zhou Shuren must have scared Jiang Sheng last day.
Jiang Sheng is a diligent person and a clean person, Zhulan sat on the chair and watched Jiang Sheng wash his clothes, Jiang Sheng washed really carefully, she didn't wash her clothes three times, she used to wash it twice and then three times with water, Jiang Sheng washed it three times and three times with water.
Half an hour later, Zhou Lao Er came back, and all the things that should be purchased at home were all purchased, Zhou Lao Er didn't buy too much, and his father and mother said that they would leave a carriage in their hometown, and it was convenient for him to go to the county to have a carriage, and if there was anything missing, just go to the county to buy it.
