In the hometown, Wang Yuan stayed at his wife's home.
Back to the capital's side. Old Zhou Family was also preparing for the New Year.
Mother Zhou had made braised ducks. She learned it from an old lady in the park and bought two ducks and tried it out.
First, marinate the duck meat. When they want to eat it, get some and stir-fry it. It was also very delicious.
When she finished it, she called Hu Zi to sent it over. In addition, there were two killed chickens, which were prepared for this side.
Lin Qing He had let go of the rein. The food at home was all prepared by Zhou Qing Bai.
For example, this year they had stocked a lot of lamb chops and beef.
With the deepening of the reform, these meats in the market were becoming more and more abundant. As long as one had money, they don’t have to worry about not being able to buy them.
Lin Qing He liked the mutton and wolfberry soup her family Qing Bai stewed for her in a small soup cup.
Lamb chops was put in. So the cup of soup was particularly flavorful. Lin Qing He felt satisfied every time she drank it.
It wasn't just the mutton soup. There were also other soups, such as chicken soup. Lin Qing He had been drinking these this winter, resulting her cheeks to be rosy.
When Mother Weng came over to see her, she was a little surprised: "Qing He, what have you eaten? This face is round."
Lin Qing He dryly coughed. She did paid attention to body maintenance, but don't know what was up with her family's Qing Bai. His cooking skills had improved a lot. Every soup he stewed seemed to taste like love.
She didn't really want to drink it, but she couldn't resist.
She often had red bean and red date congee. He privately turned on the stove for her alone. No one else had it.
In addition, it was a holiday break. So, she relaxed and gained weight. So her figure uncontrollably became a little bit fatter.
"Are you free tomorrow? Wang Yuan's car key is with me. I plan to go to the hot spring. Call old Weng and let us go together?" Lin Qing He said.
Wang Yuan’s car was parked here. He gave her the car keys. Lin Qing He drove it to the small workshop and parked it there. It could be used.
Mother Weng kind of missed the hot spring. Plus the weather was cold. It was time for it, so she said, "Okay, we'll go tomorrow."
Lin Qing He sought Zhou Qing Bai and told him about it. Zhou Qing Bai had no objection. From the start, he spoiled his wife. Now it was even more limitless. As long as his wife speaks, there was no way he'll disagree.
So the next day Zhou Qing Bai and Lin Qing He picked up Father Weng and Mother Weng and the two couples came to the hot spring together.
It was the twenty-seventh of December. The dumpling shop was closed. Only the beverage shop and the dry good shop were left open. They continued to do business.
So it was a leisurely time for the two Zhou brothers.
Just like them, Gang Zi was a little too idle. As for Hu Zi, there was no free time. Lin Qing He told him to take some clothes and go out to set up a street stall.
She gave him a lot of profit space. All the profits were his own.
On such cold days, it wasn't an easy job. Still, Hu Zi was very happy.
There were still business during the last few days of the year. As long as he can market, it wasn't a problem to make a few yuans a day.
In addition to earning this money, he went on dates with Chen Shan Shan. So he was basically in the busy category.
"Forget it. Let's go to the beverage shop to help." Zhou Gui Lai sighed.
"There are a lot of people over there. We can't help much if we go. How about going to grandpa and grandma's side?" Gang Zi asked.
"Okay." Zhou Gui Lai nodded and checked with his second brother. Zhou Xuan didn't want to go out. So the two of them made way by themselves.
When they came over, they encountered old Madam Zhu. Old Madam Zhu asked: "Why didn't your sister Hong Xia come with you?"
"Sister Hong Xia got to watch the shop." Gang Zi answered her.
Zhou Hong Xia was Zhou Si Ni. She helped at the beverage shop. There was no break during the New Year, but she did get double salary.
After entering the yard, Zhou Gui Lai said, "I wonder why that old lady is inquiring about Sister Si Ni?"
"Who inquired about Si Ni?" Zhou Xiao Mei happened to come out to pour water, and uttered after hearing these words.
"Old Madam Zhu from next door." Zhou Gui Lai answered.
Because of Zhu Zhen Zhen's affairs, Zhou Xiao Mei's impression of old Zhu's family was so-so. She said, "What did she ask?"
"Just to ask why Sister Si Ni didn't come here. Is Sister Si Ni familiar with her?" Zhou Gui Lai asked.
"Not familiar at all." Zhou Xiao Mei poured out the water and replied.
They entered inside together. Mother Zhou was peeling peanuts and watching TV. Zhou Gui Lai and Gang Zi helped her peel them.
"Peel it off and send it to your sister San Ni. Got to eat more peanuts when pregnant. The child will be white and plump in the future." Mother Zhou said.
"Okay." Zhou Gui Lai agreed.
He and Gang Zi didn't pay old Madam Zhu's question any heed and didn't mention it. However, Zhou Xiao Mei was concerned.
Out of nowhere, old Madam Zhu cared about Si Ni. Besides, she wasn't someone who would care for no reason.
She told her mother about this.
Mother Zhou was shocked, and then said: "I haven't heard anything from Si Ni about conversing with her."
"You have to tell Si Ni to watch out. Don't let her go deceive her." Zhou Xiao Mei warned.
Mother Zhou took this matter to heart. In fact, Zhou Xiao Mei had really guessed right. Old Madam Zhu had ideas on Zhou Si Ni.
Originally, old Madam Zhu looked down on a country girl like Zhou Si Ni, but it couldn't withstand against her sister's ability.
She married to such a big boss who ran a clothing factory by himself and travelled in a car. The whole body's aura gave a rich vibe.
If one don’t look upon the face of the monk, they would upon the face of the Buddha. When they become relatives, didn’t it mean that they have such a big boss as their relative? Then the matter of arranging a good job in the future only required a sentence?
Also her fourth uncle's family. They can afford a large truck. Their conditions were good.
Then look at Zhou Si Ni. Although she was from the country and got the rural smell, she wasn't too terrible. She barely matched up to her grandson.
So, she had the intention to form a marriage.
For this matter, old Madam Zhu intended to ask old Madam Hu to be the middleperson.
However, old Madam Hu rejected. Old Madam Hu held a grudge against her for ridiculing her for matching Zhen Zhen to Hu Zi last time.
So she really didn't want to help this time. Especially when old Madam Zhu's grandson's conditions weren't so good.
So old Madam Zhu could only find Zhou Si Ni by herself. She wanted to copy old Madam Hu's method from that time and lure old Zhou Family's granddaughter. Then she'll let the young ones date by themselves.
She didn't believe that girl, Hong Xia with a rural household registration could resist the temptation of a capital household registration. The marriage would surely be a done deal by then.
Old Madam Zhu was somewhat satisfied with being in-laws with old Zhou Family. After all, they were relatively rich.
The only regret was that her filial eldest granddaughter had already been arranged to marry and failed to marry Zhou Kai. The honest boy didn't have the luck.
