Chapter 47: Visit
The mule cart arrived in front of Shen Li's door.
Before the cart entered the yard, Zhou Ping and Zhou Huaishan ran out.
"Big sister, you are back. I missed you so much."
"Daughter, you are back. Dad missed you so much."
The two shouted, but their eyes were fixed on the mule cart, without even looking at Zhou Qing.
Zhou Qing
Hehe!
Zhou Qing jumped off the mule cart, and Shen Li pulled the cart into the yard.
Zhou Yao Zhao and Zhou Huailin also gathered around.
Zhou Ping jumped onto the cart and stood where Zhou Qing had just sat to dig out the things on the cart.
"Wow, this pot is so high-end, two layers! Wow, so much white flour! Wow, so much meat! Wow, there is cloth! Wow, there are clothes! Wow"
Zhou Ping was so intoxicated that he couldn't let go, and he turned over and over in the cart like he was looking for treasure.
Zhou Huaishan looked at the full basket of meat, including pork, mutton and lamb ribs, and smacked his lips with satisfaction.
Zhou Qing took out a list and handed it to Zhou Huailin, "Uncle San, the flour and pork and mutton are divided equally between our two families. A total of five taels and three cents were used. You just need to give me two taels and five cents."
After giving the list to Zhou Huailin, Zhou Qing turned around and took a small bundle from the car to Zhao.
"Aunt San, the clothes in here are for you. You have made clothes for me in the past few years. Wear the clothes I bought for you this time."
The tears in Zhao's eyes came out at once.
"What are you doing with this, kid? We farmers still wear bought clothes."
Zhou Qing smiled and said, "Why can't you wear it?"
As he said that, he pulled Zhou Yao and said, "There are also yours."
Zhou Yao's eyes lit up and she immediately looked at the bundle, "There are also mine!"
"Open it and take a look."
Zhou Yao couldn't wait to untie the bundle. There were two women's clothes neatly stacked inside.
One was autumn fragrance color, and the other was lotus pink.
Zhou Yao picked up the lotus pink one and gestured to herself.
"Does it look good?"
Zhou Qing smiled and said, "Of course it looks good. Yao'er is white, and she looks good in anything she wears."
Zhou Yao shyly lowered her head and looked at Zhou Huailin, "Dad, does it look good?"
Zhou Huailin stared at Zhao, not even looking at Zhou Yao, "Well, it looks good, you should also compare it to me."
Zhou Yao
Dad, can you just look at me symbolically before looking at mom?
Zhou Qing
Hahahaha, it turns out that parents are true love, and children are accidents.
Zhao's cheeks were slightly red, and she lowered her head, "Hurry up and unload the car, Qing girl and the others have been gone for a day, dinner will be served early!"
After that, she carried the clothes back to the house.
Zhou Huailin followed and left.
Zhou Yao
Zhou Qing
Shen Li looked at the backs of Zhou Huailin and Zhao with envy, the couple's relationship is really good!
Turning to look at Zhou Qing.
As for Zhou Huaishan and Zhou Ping, they found big buns in the car.
Pork and green onion stuffing.
Thin skin and big stuffing with eighteen folds.
Each of them was eating one and it was fragrant.
Zhou Qing also bought three pieces of cloth and five rolls of cotton.
Enough for Zhao to make two sets of autumn clothes and one set of cotton-padded clothes for each of the men in the family.
The carriage was unloaded, and Zhao began to prepare dinner.
It was her first time to eat copper pot hot pot, and she didn't know how to make it, so she just washed the various vegetables according to Zhou Qing's instructions.
Shen Li used the purchased seasonings to mix the small seasonings.
Everything was ready, and everyone sat down, gathered around the hot pot, and everyone's face was filled with smiles.
Zhou Ping was so anxious that he couldn't sit still, so he simply stood up with the bowl and ate.
The mutton was dipped in sesame sauce and wrapped in the chives, coriander and chili oil in the small seasonings. The moment it entered the mouth, the whole family let out a cry. Ah!
Shabu-shabu mutton is indeed the best in the world!
The moment Zhou Huailin ate the mutton hot pot, the urge to make money became stronger.
"Dad, I must study hard, and strive to become a big official and make a lot of money in the future to eat mutton hot pot every day!" Chewing the meat in his mouth, Zhou Ping swore vaguely.
Zhou Huaishan glanced at him lightly.
When you become a high-ranking official and make a lot of money, you will find that there are still many top-quality products in the world.
Thinking back to when I was still a marquis.
Well, hot pot is still the first.
Zhou Qing bought fruit wine, and everyone drank some except Zhou Ping.
Drinking and eating meat, imagining the future, the whole family ate a hot pot for a full hour and a half.
After dinner, Zhao was busy cooking lamb ribs and pork.
After all, meat cannot be stored in autumn, and it is easy to spoil if not cooked.
Zhou Huailin helped her in the kitchen, and the others sat in the yard to enjoy the moon.
Zhou Ping burped with a bulging belly, "Big sister, shabu-shabu is really delicious, when will we eat it next time?"
Zhou Qing patted Zhou Ping's head, "Let's eat it after your second uncle passes the exam."
Zhou Ping looked at Zhou Huaishan, "Second uncle, you must work hard!"
Zhou Huaishan said guiltily, "Actually, grilled fish is also delicious, let's go to Houhe to catch fish."
"By the way, Dad, you have to go to the city tomorrow." Zhou Qing was so busy eating meat that he almost forgot about the business. When he talked about the exam, Zhou Qing slapped his forehead and said to Zhou Huaishan.
When he heard that he had to go to the city, Zhou Huaishan suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart, and looked at Zhou Qing vigilantly, "Why go to the city?"
Zhou Qing told him about tomorrow's competition.
When Zhou Huaishan heard it, he jumped up from the stool.
He pointed at himself with his backhand, looking incredible.
"Me? Competition? You want me to compete and win?"
"How can you get a reference quota without a competition? How can you take the exam without a quota!" Zhou Qing rolled his eyes at Zhou Huaishan.
Zhou Huaishan looked pitiful, "I can't get it even if I go!"
"Second uncle, be more confident, believe in yourself, you can do it!" Zhou Ping clenched his fist and cheered Zhou Huaishan.
Zhou Qing stood up, walked to Zhou Huaishan, and whispered in his ear, ".Just do this, you will definitely win."
Zhou Huaishan's eyes twitched, and he looked at Zhou Qing in surprise, "Can this work?"
Zhou Qing crossed his arms and raised his eyebrows, smiling and said, "Believe me."
Zhou Huaishan.
"I believe in you, but I don't believe in myself!"
Zhou Huaishan pouted, "Forget it, I'll go get ready."
He went back to the house reluctantly.
As soon as he left, Shen Li couldn't help laughing and said to Zhou Qing, "I just saw the questions done by the master, they are still very good."
As he was talking, a burst of crying and wailing came from outside.
"Zhou Qing, get out of here."
Wang Qiang's mother kicked the courtyard door open angrily, followed by Sun Shi with a gloomy look.
Sun was beaten up by Mrs. Zhao, Mrs. Wang, and Mrs. Song in the afternoon. At this moment, there were dark bruises on the corners of her eyes and her face was ashen. She looked at Zhou Qing with a look that seemed to want to tear her apart.
The sudden noise startled Zhou Huailin and Mrs. Zhao in the kitchen, and they hurried out of the kitchen.
Zhou Huaishan, who had not yet entered the house, stopped and turned to look.
Wang Qiang's mother rushed towards Zhou Qing as soon as she entered the door.
"You shameless bitch, tell me, where is Wang Qiang? Where did he go! You bitch!"
Shen Li's face was gloomy, and he stood in front of Zhou Qing and pushed away Wang Qiang's mother who rushed over.
Wang Qiang's mother was just an ordinary peasant woman, how could she withstand his push? She fell to the ground with a sway.
