Free Life in the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 18 Zhou Family Plenary Meeting

According to the suggestion of Xiaoxiangzi and some book friends, it is easy to be confused because there are too many "Zhou Fang, Zhou Miao, Zhou Tang, Zhou Zhang, etc." in this article. Therefore, since Chapter 18, the name of the eldest daughter-in-law Zhou Miao has been changed to: Miao Lan'er. The second daughter-in-law Zhou Fang's name was changed to Fang Fang. Zhou Zhang changed to "Zhou Zhang, Song Keren's mother-in-law, who only retains Zhou Tang." I hope it is convenient for everyone to read~~

"What kind of treasure do you have?" Song Keren quickly asked.

Fang Fang, the second sister-in-law, looked like an old storyteller. She raised her neck and said proudly, "I won't tell you!"

This sentence almost choked Song Keyen. Song Keyen looked at his second sister-in-law Fang Fang helplessly and squeezed his lips angrily.

"Second sister-in-law, you are not kind!" Song Keren said coquettishly.

Fang Fang, the second sister-in-law, smiled and raised her eyebrows. The pair of round and big eyes seemed to have wings, flying around. Seeing that there was no one at the door, the second sister-in-law Fang Fang's big eyes turned back to Song Keren.

"Girl, it's not that I don't say it, you know, once you are told..."

"Second sister-in-law, didn't you say that the whole village knows the secret? Besides, as long as I don't say it, who knows that the second sister-in-law told me? Second sister-in-law, say it quickly!" Song Keren grabbed the sleeves of her second sister-in-law Fang Fang and said coquettishly.

Fang Fang, the second sister-in-law, looked at her, but she was just a teenager. How could there be such evil as what her sister-in-law Miao Laner said?

"Well, let me tell you, don't say it!" Fang Fang, the second sister-in-law, said.

Song Keyen nodded and stared at her second sister-in-law Fang Fang like a child. The second sister-in-law Fang Fang smiled and lowered her voice.

"Before I got married, I knew that this week's family was a downturn. At that time, I was a famous beauty in the village. Although my family was poor, the relatives in ten miles and eight villages were about to break the door of my house. Do you know why I don't marry anyone else, just marry the Zhou family? Fang Fang, the second sister-in-law, asked with a smile.

Song Keren turned his eyes and hurriedly replied, "Because of the treasure?"

"What a smart girl, isn't she? Just because of the treasure!" Fang Fang, the second sister-in-law, said.

"What the hell is that treasure?" Song Keren hurriedly asked.

"How do I know this? However, the whole village said that the Zhou family has treasure. Otherwise, for so many years, these men of the Zhou family can't lift their hands and shoulders. Why do they all live moistly? How long will your grandmother's dowry last? Let me tell you, grandma's dowry has long been squandered by grandpa. In the past, the Zhou family was a large family. Have you ever heard of a skinny camel that is bigger than a horse? The Zhou family is the skinny camel! These rich people save money and like to hide it in the house. Maybe there is an ingot and an ingot ingot in the basement and wall of grandma's house!" Fang Fang, the second sister-in-law, said proudly.

Song Keyen really couldn't control himself and finally showed disappointment. Fang Fang, the second sister-in-law, nagging for half a day and said something about the hidden treasure, which was really unsatisfactory.

"Didn't the second brother tell you?" Song Keren added a sentence.

Fang Fang, the second sister-in-law, smiled, picked up the candy in her hand and said, "Why is this candy smelly?"

Of course, Fang Fang, the second sister-in-law, inquired about Zhou Yong. She married Zhou Yong for the treasure. Mrs. Zhou once said publicly in the village that their family has treasures. My grandchildren also know that the Zhou family is treasured.

Therefore, Fang Fang, the second sister-in-law, asked Zhou Yong about this matter as soon as she entered the door.

Zhou Yong said vaguely that Grandma did say so. However, he has never seen whether it is ten thousand taels of silver or countless jewelry. I heard that people who have seen this treasure have met the ancestors of the Zhou family by the way.

Fang Fang, the second sister-in-law, specially revealed this news to Song Keren today, which naturally has her purpose.

Sure enough, Song Keren heard this and fell into a mental illness. She is not a greedy villain, but a curious child. Although there is no desire to possess the treasure, there is this curiosity to explore the treasure.

When Song Keren was about to open her mouth and say something, her second sister-in-law Fang Fang suddenly cheered up. Song Keyen suddenly closed his mouth and smiled slightly at his second sister-in-law Fang Fang.

"What, do you have something to say?" Fang Fang, the second sister-in-law, asked.

"No, I just want to say that it's noon, why hasn't anyone come to the store to buy anything?" Song Keren said.

Fang Fang, the second sister-in-law, was disappointed and said angrily, "It's good to be able to enter one person in three days in this broken store."

Song Keren took care of it. Fang Fang, the second sister-in-law, knew that Song Keren's mother's family was in the next village. Now, Song Keren lives with Zhou Tang. What should she do with her just talk about the treasure?

Song Keren smiled and continued to wrap her candy, but she also fell in love with the treasure.

When Song Keren swept a path outside the house, he saw Zhou Tang slowly walking to the grocery store with a small frame.

Song Keyen rushed by with a broom, and Zhou Tang staggered. In the morning, she got cold on the ground and went home with Zhou Ke on her back. Together, she almost killed her.

"Grandma, why did you come here in person? Just ask your sister-in-law to deliver the meal!" Song Keren said with a smile.

Zhou Tang glanced at Song Keyen and said dissatisfiedly, "Let your sister-in-law come. You three sisters-in-law get together and don't talk to the sky? How many goods were sold today?

Song Keyen helped the old lady and said with a smile, "You are the first customer!"

As he spoke, the old and young man entered the room. Fang Fang, the second sister-in-law, who was sipping melon seeds next to the brazier, quickly got up as soon as she saw her grandmother coming.

"Milk, why are you here?" Fang Fang, the second sister-in-law, said flatteredly.

"Oh, sit down, sit down!" Zhou Tang said.

Fang Fang, the second sister-in-law, quickly moved her chair under Zhou Tang's buttocks. After Zhou Tang sat down and looked at her two granddaughters. The grandson has a lot of children, but the family still has to be managed by himself.

"Is there no one here today? Last month, the second brother just handed in half the money. Look, half the money, enough to do something! I think we might as well rent out this house and earn a few taels of silver every year. In case you don't have to catch a big living person here! What a lot of money!" Fang Fang, the second sister-in-law, sighed.

"Milk, just ask our siblings to come to the store!" Song Keyen said quickly.

As soon as this word came out, it immediately attracted countless white eyes from the second sister-in-law Fang Fang. Song Keyen felt that she had made a mistake. There was no need to get in this matter, and she was not from the Zhou family. Hey, who told me to talk too fast? This has offended my second sister-in-law Fang Fang.

The second sister-in-law Fang Fang's face was really gloomy, but it was only for a moment, and she quickly smiled again. Fang Fang, the second sister-in-law, smiled very well, like a pear flower.

"Milk, you can't say that. This is not a bad year. Besides, it will be fine after the farming schedule!" Fang Fang, the second sister-in-law, said.

"Yes, milk, this store has to be seen by the second brother. The second brother is business-minded, smart in business, and not suitable for farming. Song Keren quickly said flatteringly.

Fang Fang, the second sister-in-law, secretly memorized this sentence and hurried down the slope and said, "Yes, milk, what do you think Zhou Yong will do besides doing business?" He is not as good as his eldest brother in the field!"

"Hey, half of the seedlings froze to death in this heavy snow. Whether our crops can survive or not will be a matter for two times. Your eldest brother's illness will not be recovered in ten days and a half months. In the future, the work of the family will have to be done by the second brother. Second daughter-in-law, don't be picky. This is the situation at home. You take care of this. Zhou Tang said.

The second sister-in-law Fang Fang's heart sank and blinked.

"From then on, the expenses in this family will be a problem. Hey..." Zhou Tang touched her chest and commemorated her fox skin in advance.

The second sister-in-law Fang Fang suddenly winked at Song Keren. Song Keyen guessed that the second sister-in-law Fang Fang was thinking about the treasure.

"Let's close the stall early tonight. Anyway, there is no one. Let's go home and have a meeting!" Zhou Tang said.

That evening, the first plenary meeting of the Zhou family in Hebinzi Village, Jingzhao County, Jingzhao City was officially held. The following people attended the meeting: old lady Zhou Tang, Zhou Tang's son Zhou Guangyi, Zhou Guangyi's daughter-in's mother-law Zhou Zhang, Song Keren's mother-in-law Zhou Ke's eldest son Zhou Ke, eldest daughter-in-law Miao Laner, second son Zhou Yong, second daughter-in-law Fang Fang, third son Zhou Heng, third daughter-in-law Zhou Song (Song Ke People), fourth son Zhou Mao, and youngest daughter Zhou Xiaomei.

Two other family members, Zhou Xiaoxiao and Zhou Duoduo, did not attend the meeting due to their age and time.

In early spring, the spring breeze sends warmth. In Zhou Ke's solemn room, hundreds of flowers compete with each other, and hundreds of birds facing the phoenix. The conference was held under two solemn oil lamps. The main leaders attending the meeting were the family's sister-in-law Miao Laner (stop here, there may be applause) and parents Zhou Guangyi.

In a warm and peaceful atmosphere, Comrade Zhou Tang, Secretary of the Party Committee and leader of the Party branch of Jingzhao City, Jingzhao County and Hebangzi Village, made an important speech.

In his speech, Comrade Zhou Tang summarized the economic income of the Zhou family in the past year and fully affirmed the open source and throttling work last year.

However, Comrade Zhou Tang also pointed out that during the Dragon Boat Festival last year, Zhou Zhangshi, the mother-in-law of Song Keren, the main head of the kitchen department, killed an extra chicken. In this regard, Comrade Zhou Tang believes that although the chicken has been killed more, it represents Comrade Zhou Zhang, Song's mother-in-law, who is unorganized and undisciplined and cannot be strict with himself. Comrade Zhou Tang severely criticized this.

At this conference, Zhou Tang looked forward to this year's economic income while reviewing the GDP of the whole family last year. Comrade Zhou Tang believes that the grain in the field is likely to freeze to death due to the heavy snow last night. The whole family should pay great attention to this.

For dead seedlings, clean up as soon as possible, and then replant seasonal grain. In addition, as for national economic growth, Zhou Tang believes that the GDP growth of 8% set at the beginning of the year cannot be well implemented. In this regard, we should ensure growth and promote people's livelihood. For people's livelihood issues, such as eggplant price increase, we must pay attention to.

Zhou Tang believes that if the price of eggplants in Jingzhao City has risen, we should take the eggplants at home to the city to sell. Only in this way can we make effective and reasonable use of recyclable resources.

In view of the sacrifices made by Comrade Zhou Ke to protect the seedlings at home, the conference agreed that Comrade Zhou Ke should seriously recuperate from his illness and make outstanding contributions to the construction of his family in the future.

Although people are sick, the farm work at home cannot be stopped. In the later vote, the whole family passed the decision of Comrade Zhou Yong to replace Comrade Zhou Ke with seven votes in favor, two votes against and two abstentions.

Two women representatives, second sister-in-law Fang Fang and Song Keren, took over the work of Comrade Zhou Yong. Zhou Tang said in his speech that women are half of the sky and the pillar of the family. We should give full play to the advantages of women's work and increase and strengthen support for women's work.

The conference ended with warm applause.
