In the Zhou family, Zhulan didn’t know that Wang Ru regretted so much that her intestines were green. She was helping her daughter-in-law during her confinement (1) and felt the magic of life. Babies in confinement change rapidly. The eyes and eyebrows became clearer. Seventy percent followed the Zhao family. Every time Zhulan looked at her little grandson, she would repeat and urge Zhou Shuren to make progress. In ancient times, not only beautiful women were dangerous, but handsome men were also in the same danger zone.
With a child in the family, life goes by faster. In the blink of an eye, it is the end of the last month of the lunar year. The month with the lowest temperature in the whole year, and Zhulan doesn’t want to get out of bed in the morning.
In the winter, Zhulan became lazier and was inseparable from the warm bed every morning.
“Mother, Dad is back.”
Zhulan sat up all of a sudden, put on her padded jacket and shoes, ran out quickly, pushed open the door, and saw that Zhou Shuren had just gotten off the carriage. Zhulan’s eyes instantly turned red, like a heart that had flown away had returned, making her feel particularly grounded, “You are back.”
Zhou Shuren stepped forward quickly, his body was faster than his brain’s reaction, and hugged Zhulan, “I’m back.”
At this moment, the wandering heart returned to its place, it’s good to be home. It’s good to have someone who cared about him at home, and it’s good that he wasn’t living alone in a strange time and space.
Zhulan blushed, and Zhou Shuren hugged her too tightly, “You want to strangle me?”
Zhou Shuren chuckled and loosened his grip. He realized that Zhulan was not joking and was genuinely concerned. He turned his head and said to his sons, “Bring all the luggage from the carriage into the hall.”
Zhulan was attracted by the full boxes behind the carriage, her eyes were bright, and this was the rhythm of getting rich!
Li shi came over, “Father, where is my dad?”
Zhou Shuren said, “Your dad went home first.”
Li Shi wanted to return to her parent’s home. She was thinking about the inheritance her grandmother had mentioned, but as she looked at the unloaded boxes, she knew that her father-in-law had bought many valuable items. She didn’t want her second brother-in-law’s family to take advantage of the situation. “Mother, I’ll go and help.”
Zhulan waved her hand, Li shi’s little calculation was too obvious, “Go!”
After all the boxes were moved to the hall of the main room, Wu Chun, Zhulan’s eldest nephew, left with the escort’s carriage. Zheng shi entered the yard and stared at the main room, ignoring Zhou Shuren, “Sister-in-law, your family is also rich?”
Zhulan looked at the people watching outside, and lied without changing her face, “My father was looking for the head of the house, and he came back with the eldest nephew early this morning. What kind of fortune did he make? These are the new year’s goods bought by the elder nephew’s darts, and they were sent to my house in advance. The New Year gift from my natal family.”
Zheng shi frowned and felt that Yang was not telling the truth. However, the Zhou family rarely went out in winter, and it was difficult for her to inquire about the news. Summoning up courage, she said cheekily: “What good things did you get? Let us also broaden our horizons.”
Unlike the original host, Zhulan didn’t hold back and chuckled. “I’m afraid that my younger siblings will become envious if they see it. It’s better for the sake of their eyes that they don’t look. Alright, let’s not make a fuss in this freezing weather. Second Brother, please close the door quickly.”
1. The period after giving birth where a woman is supposed to stay indoor, while eating special food that helps them to recuperate and also help with breastfeeding the newborn.
