Chapter 490: Can’t drive away
Lin Qing He called Eldest Sister-in-law when they departed.
“They caught a ride this year? Alright. I’ll go and clean up my house!” Eldest Sister-in-law was delighted and rushed to say.
While they were at it, they chatted for a while. Then Eldest Sister-in-law hung up the phone.
The village branch secretary’s wife jollily asked, “What’s the situation? I can see it got you excited.”
Until now, Eldest Sister-in-law had never revealed that Zhou Er Ni found a match in the capital. She was afraid that it would become a joke if it wasn’t a success. So she didn’t say a word.
But now the other party was coming back with Er Ni for New Year’s greetings, it can’t be kept secret. It would seem a bit pretentious if she didn’t to mention it now.
So Eldest Sister-in-law brought it up to the village branch secretary’s wife. She smilingly spoke: “But don’t spread it out.” Better not make it seem like the family wanted to go out and show off.
The village branch secretary’s wife was very surprised. She originally knew that Er Ni was coming back for the New Year. After all, she hadn’t come back for many years and Er Ni had always been a good lass. In fact, none of Eldest Sister-in-law’s three daughters were bad.
Not something Second Sister-in-law can compare.
That was why the village branch secretary’s wife planned matchmake her maternal nephew during this trip back. She didn’t expect Er Ni to get a match in the capital.
This was marrying to the capital.
The village branch secretary’s wife wasn’t too talkative, so she smiled, “I won’t say anything. However, Er Ni is really blessed.”
She was going to marry to the capital to enjoy life of comfort. Really fortunate.
Don’t know about Si Ni in the future?
Eldest Sister-in-law didn’t say much. Although it was great for her daughter to get such a marriage, she was actually a little worried.
However, she shouldn’t think too much.
When she returned home, she and Eldest Brother cleaned up the house inside and out with their youngest son, Tu Dou.
The eldest son will be back this year. Probably on his way back now.
“Mother, the house is so clean. Do you have to clean up?” Tu Dou was almost thirteen years old and was currently a junior high school student.
Eldest Sister-in-law stated: “In the next two days, kill all the remaining chickens. Clean up the chicken shed, so there aren’t any smell.”
“I’ll go.” Eldest Brother nodded.
Tu Dou spoke: “Second Brother-in-law won’t dislike our home. With Eldest Paternal Aunt’s family’s cousin-in-law as an example, Fourth Aunt and Second Sister will make it clear to Second Brother-in-law. Since he is still willing to come, it indicates that he will not care too much about this.
After all, the house was really clean. Even the firewood was neatly arranged. There was not a speck in the yard.
Because his parents knew that they were going to welcome this brother-in-law from the capital this year, they even paved the yard with masonry. So it really wasn’t dirty.
“Even if your second brother-in-law doesn’t care, we have to tidy up the house,” Eldest Sister-in-law replied.
Zhou Yang returned the next day. Zhou Yang’s temperament became more and more gentle after going to college. His whole person was enveloped with scholarly aura.
He had always been humble. After returned to the village, he remained like that even when the village branch secretary came to sit at their home and asked about the university.
After sending the guest away, Zhou Yang showed a bit of exhaustion. After all, it wasn’t close to come back from the provincial city.
“Mother, why did our house become like this.” Zhou Yang smilingly remarked.
When he first entered the house, he almost didn’t recognize it. It was really clean. Many of the furniture had been replaced with new ones, such as tables and chairs.
“You don’t know yet. Your second sister is going to bring her match back one of these days.” Eldest Sister-in-law merrily answered.
Zhou Yang was a little surprised, and uttered: “When will they come back? I have to pick them up.”
“They just departed yesterday.” Eldest Sister-in-law replied.
Zhou Yang calculated the time. Then he took his brother out. He returned to the village on his third uncle’s bicycle. He got his brother to ride old Zhou family’s bicycle to the station in the county city and waited.
The first day, he got the expected time wrong and couldn’t wait for their arrival.
The next day they finally encountered Wang Yuan and Zhou Er Ni’s arrival. The two brothers had waited for half of the day.
“What are you doing here?” Zhou Er Ni saw them with a look of surprise.
“Mother told us to come over and wait for you, Second Sister,” Zhou Yang answered. Then he looked at Wang Yuan and called out ‘Brother’.
Tu Dou followed suit and greeted with ‘Brother’. Because their second sister hadn’t married over yet, so they called brother instead of brother-in-law in the countryside.
“This is my eldest younger brother, Zhou Yang. And this is my youngest brother, Tu Dou.” Zhou Er Ni introduced.
“What Tu Dou? My name is Zhou Wang!” Tu Dou said with a flushed face.
“Okay. It’s Zhou Wang.” Wang Yuan merrily responded.
The two younger brothers of his wife’s family were good. He had a good impression of them.
“Brother, let’s drop by Third Uncle and Third Aunt’s shop before going back.” Zhou Yang said.
“We should.” Wang Yuan nodded.
On the way back, his wife told him that Third uncle and Third Aunt’s family had migrated out of the village to open a shop in the county city.
Third Brother and Third Sister-in-law hadn’t went back. Although there wasn’t much to sell at this time, Third Brother had stored up a lot of eggs and frozen fish in the backyard before the snow fell. They planned to sell it at this time.
It was the end of the year. Business will be particularly good. Generally, they have to stay here until twenty eighth or ninth before returning to the village.
This year, Third Brother and Third Sister-in-law had also built a brick house in the village. It was built before it snowed. It was quite spacious.
People in the village often felt that old Zhou Family’s first branch, third branch, and fourth branch were successful.
When Third Brother and Third Sister-in-law saw Zhou Er Ni, they froze. After Zhou Er Ni went to the capital, she hadn’t come back.
And because of haven’t seeing her for so long, it seemed the change was huge. If they encountered on the street, Third Brother and Third Sister-in-law might not dare to say it was her. This was their niece from the past, Er Ni.
“Eldest Sister-in-law thought you were coming back yesterday. Unexpected, your arrival was toady. Yang Yang and Tu Dou had came here yesterday and waited for a day.” Third Sister-in-law smilingly said.
Zhou Er Ni blushed. Yesterday, they could catch a ride back. Although it was a bit late, it didn’t matter.
However, Wang Yuan said that he was uncomfortable, so they found a guest house. Although they asked for two rooms, Wang Yuan misbehaved and persisted on sleeping in her room last night. She couldn’t drive him away.
Of course, nothing happened. Purely sleeping. She had wrapped herself in the quilt tightly!
Wang Yuan had a thick-skinned face and jollily responded: “The first time I took such a long journey. It was quite late yesterday, so we found a guest house in the city for a temporary rest. I didn’t expect to make two brothers-in-laws to wait for a day.”
He had slept with his wife for a night, even when his wife was to conservative and didn’t let him take any of her advantage. It was extremely comfortable.
