Chapter 90: Can't Help (5th Watch)
Zhou Xiaolan and Xu Shuhua ate a big bowl of steamed pork knuckle noodles, and Mrs. Zhou ate porridge if her teeth were not good.
Except for Shuhua who was full and looked at the situation in the store, she didn't come to this breakfast shop before, but it was just when it opened, and now she looks at the business of this store is quite good.
One after another, people came in to buy breakfast, some sat down to eat, and some packed it back to eat.
Zhou Zhengming kept serving breakfast to the guests in the kitchen, and Wu Xiuying was responsible for cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks and collecting money, and the two of them were so busy that they didn't have time to greet them.
Xu Shuhua was not happy, and said to Mrs. Zhou: "Seeing that the second uncle's store is not a big business, it is very good, and I always said that there is no money before, I am afraid that it is all a lie." ”
Mrs. Zhou didn't speak, but her face was obviously difficult to look at.
Xiao Yu'er had breakfast, and after playing in the store for a while, he got bored and wanted to go out to play.
Gu Beiwang hugged him.
Zhou Cheng looked at Mrs. Zhou and they had almost eaten, so he said, "Grandma, do you want to come to my house to sit." ”
Zhou Xiaolan said: "I'm going to go, but now that we're full, let's rest here before we go." ”
If they don't leave, Zhou Cheng can only watch them here.
Gu Beiwang said to her: "You take Xiaoyu'er out for a walk, I'll take you here." ”
Zhou Cheng looked at the little fish who was about to start making trouble, nodded, hugged him and walked out of the door.
I didn't plan to go far, so I went back to my yard with him to play.
Seeing the neighbor's children running around at the door, Zhou Cheng also let them come in to play, one grabbed the biscuits for them, and the three children were reluctant to go, playing with Xiaoyuer's toys in the yard, Xiaoyuer saw that there were children playing in the yard, and they didn't go out in a hurry.
After a while, Aunt Ping walked in and said to Zhou Cheng: "Shanshan, your grandma is really able to toss, she came over early in the morning to block her son, and I don't know what she thinks?" ”
Zhou Cheng asked her to sit down and talk, "What's wrong with my grandma over there?" ”
"Your eldest aunt counted your family's money in the store, and she didn't care much about the elderly, so she opened such a breakfast shop and didn't even cook breakfast for the old mother. I was really angry when I watched from the sidelines, so I helped and said, "Your family has fifty filial piety money for your grandmother every month." ”
"Then my aunt has nothing to say, right?"
Aunt Ping pouted, "She stopped, but then talked about something else." ”
Aunt Ping didn't say it long, and Zhou Zhengming and Mrs. Zhou came in.
Aunt Ping also stood up when she saw them, "I'll go back first." ”
Zhou Cheng thanked her, Aunt Ping waved her hand, and went out.
"Mom, don't you see that this house is very spacious, with a small yard, and the doors and windows are all good things...... Xu Shu looked at the second room with blushing eyes.
Mrs. Zhou looked at the children playing in the yard and asked, "Whose child is this?" ”
"Neighbor's." Zhou Cheng replied.
Then Mrs. Zhou didn't speak.
Xu Shuhua said again: "This yard is spacious enough, it's best to have a lot of children, you have only one child in your family, and it looks deserted when you live so big." ”
Wu Xiuying couldn't help it now, "Sister-in-law, it's not your turn to point fingers in our family, so I like my grandson to spread his legs and play in this yard." ”
Xu Shuhua pursed her lips.
Zhou Cheng looked at Gu Beiwang and asked in a low voice, "Is the store closed?" ”
Gu Beiwang nodded.
Zhou Cheng couldn't help but get bored of these three people, and they came over to make trouble so that the store didn't open.
The group entered the house.
The living room was cleaned up and tidy and welcoming.
Xu Shuhua's eyes were red again, she wasn't like this when she came over before, but now she has added a color TV, a leather sofa, and a complete set of furniture.
Mrs. Zhou's face became even worse.
Zhou Xiaolan couldn't help it, "The second uncle's house is really different from us, look at the money used for these furniture, right?" ”
Wu Xiuying said: "This is all bought by Xiaobei, we don't know how much it is, whether it's good or not, it's not a sitting person, where did so many comparisons come from?" It's not stealing, it's not robbing. ”
"Mom, tell me, what's the matter with you coming here?" Zhou Zhengming asked directly.
Mrs. Zhou did not speak.
"Second uncle, let's come over today to see your store, and to discuss things with you." ”
"Last time, the second uncle regretted it and refused to lend the rented house to Zhou Lu, and now Zhou Lu's girlfriend broke up with him, and we as parents have no choice, so we want to make up some money to see if we can make a house for Xiaolu. Second uncle, you also know that we have been laid off for so many years, and we have no income at all, and even the coffin book has been taken out, which is not enough to buy a toilet. So we thought about it, or decided to come and beg the second uncle, can you borrow us first? Let Zhou Lu and his wife get married first, and then our family will pay it back slowly. ”
Borrowing money is better than borrowing a house.
Zhou Cheng glanced at Zhou Xiaolan and asked in surprise, "Why doesn't Sister Xiaolan help the family?" ”
Zhou Xiaolan was stunned, "How can I help?" ”
Zhou Cheng said with a smile: "I remember that Sister Xiaolan said that you have the ability to do it, and your family runs a restaurant, and you also open it to the provincial capital." The business is so big, I think I have a lot of money at home, right? Sister Xiaolan, why don't you ask your partner to help? ”
Zhou Xiaolan's face changed, and she was a little annoyed and angry.
Xu Shuhua immediately said: "Xiaolan hasn't married him after all, it's not good to ask people for money, otherwise their family will look down on Xiaolan at that time." ”
Zhou Cheng sighed, "In this way, it seems that Sister Xiaolan's status in her object is just Erer, otherwise she won't even borrow money, if you have a heart, even if you don't open your mouth, he will take the initiative to borrow money, if Sister Xiaolan is like this, you have to think about whether to talk to him about friends." ”
Zhou Xiaolan's face turned red, and she stared at her and couldn't think of anything to refute for a while.
Zhou Cheng cast a disdainful look at her.
Zhou Xiaolan directly blew up, "Zhou Cheng, what are you talking about?" I haven't told my partner yet, and if I did, he would have said yes. You think it's great if you marry a truck driver? It's not that he can afford a truck because of his second uncle, what kind of man's ability is it? ”
Zhou Cheng nodded, "That's okay, since you said that you are willing to help, it just so happens that our family is barely doing anything and can't help your family, so you can rest assured." ”
Xu Shuhua quietly glared at her daughter, and then hurriedly said: "Shanshan, don't listen to your cousin's nonsense, where are we girls embarrassed to ask their unmarried partners to borrow money?" It's not nice to say like that, is it? ”
"I'm sorry then, sister-in-law, we can't help you." Wu Xiuying took over and said.
