Chapter 17 The Secret of the Zhou Family

There are different opinions about Zhou Guangyi, just when everyone is busy talking about Zhou Guangyi's illness. Mrs. Zhou Tang's eyes were on the seedlings in her own field. When she learned from Mr. Zhou that the seedlings were not a big problem, Mrs. Zhou was relent.

Even so, Mrs. Zhou still mobilized the whole family to burn corn stalks together. Except for Zhou Guangyi and Boss Zhou lying in **, almost all of the Zhou family went out and took out a few corn stalks from the woodshed in the backyard and went straight to the field. The small canal was full of such corn stalks. Zhou Yong lit a fire, and the smoke of the corn stalks gradually thickens.

Later, Song Ke finally figured out that the Zhou family burned corn stalks like this to warm the seedlings. This was used to deal with the sudden cold dew in early autumn. Unexpectedly, it was used in advance.

One morning, I tossed this little thing in the field. After returning home, Mrs. Zhou was not idle and went to her grandson Zhou Yong to repair their donkey car.

"Milk, good, what are you going to do?" Zhou Yong asked.

A week after "Pa" Tang gently slapped Zhou Yong's back of the head and said angrly, "You sea beast, ask you to repair it! There are so many things to do. What's the matter? Can't you do some work?

"No, milk, I didn't mean that. I mean, the shop hasn't opened yet today!" Zhou Yong said aggrievedly.

"Don't care about the shop, you just need to repair the donkey car!" Zhou Tang said.

The Zhou family's small grocery store in the village can't be closed. In the four seasons of the year, a grocery store also earns one or two or half a month. Although this little money is not enough, it is definitely not enough to subsidize the family.

It seems that the Zhou family is subsidizing the family, and no one wants to do something serious. Since Zhou Guangyi, the man of the Zhou family has been like an eggplant in autumn. No one can stand up to take care of this family. Zhou Guangyi has nothing to do every day and has no other hobbies but to find trouble.

Zhou Ke's task is to manage his land. Maybe he is the only person in the Zhou family who does business, right? Zhou Yong's grocery store is very sluggish. Besides, the things bought in the countryside are nothing more than firewood, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar and tea. In Zhou Yong's own words, even if the grocery store recruits a thief, he is not in a hurry, because there is nothing to steal.

The remaining three Zhou Heng and Zhou Mao are the seedlings of reading. With the strong support of Zhou Tang, the two of them entered the only private school in the countryside - a school run by a scholar who has not been admitted to the scholar all year round.

You said that the Zhou family is poor. A family of people, with sons and daughters, are not as good as selling people, eating meat and clothes. You said Zhou Jiafu, and Mrs. Zhou went to the pawnshop in Jingzhao City when she had nothing to do. Send her dowry and her daughter's filial things into the pawnshop.

Therefore, Song Keren can't see what kind of economic situation the Zhou family is. However, she knows that the Zhou family is not a rich family.

Well, the business of the shop can't be closed. Song Keren and the second daughter-in-law Zhou Fang was sent by Zhou Tang to see the shop. Even Zhou Tang didn't expect that Song Keren's visit to the shop was the prelude to the Zhou family's vigorous turnaround.

Looking at the shop is a good job. You can take a nap while looking at the shop. These days, there is no newspaper or TV. When you look at the shop, sleepy bugs come layer by layer like a storm.

Looking at the shop is a good job. You can chat while looking at the shop. There are really no entertainment facilities these days, so we can only fill the gap in time with the Li family, the Eastern parents.

Looking at the shop is a good job. You can design a grand blueprint for the future while looking at the shop.

There is a small two-and-a-half small shabby house at the head of the village, and the door waved to the villagers. There were no ducks or chickens in front of the door, and there was an old banyan tree ten meters away.

No one drinks tea, chats or plays chess under the old banyan tree, because it snows today and people are stuck in the house. The wife and children were hot, and by the way, they cried and scolded the third aunt of the Queen Mother. Which blind fairy snowed at this time.

There is white snow in front of the door of the house, and there is no footprint. Even the stray kittens have disappeared. Who wants to come out on a snowy day?

Song Keren was shocked when she first saw the small broken house at the entrance of the village. This small broken house was much more energetic than she thought. At least it is built with green bricks. How many people's houses or adobe in the village are solid?

Zhou Fangshi hurried to the front of the house, took out a bunch of keys from his waist, and found the one that opened the door. The unique dullness of the goods was mixed with the sultry wind, and Song Keren and Zhou Fangshi frowned at the same time.

"It must be that the sauce forgot to cover the lid again. This man is doing things, but he just can't do it!" Zhou Fang complained.

Song Keren obediently followed Zhou Fang's buttocks and stepped into the house. This is a house of about 15 square meters. Two rows of high shelves cling to the wall, a huge thick jar covered with mud wrapped in red cloth, with a red word pasted on it, and a black word "wine" suddenly appeared in the middle.

Next to the wine jar, there are two small jars covered with a lid made of bamboo. You don't have to think about it. This should be a jar of soy sauce and vinegar. At the bottom of the shelf, there is a huge jar. The jar is not sealed, and the smell in the room should come from here.

Putting down the key, Zhou Fangshi quickly touched the lid to cover the huge mouth of the yellow sauce jar. He turned his head again, smiled at Song Keren and said, "Sit down!"

Song Ke smiled, and there were two small chairs and a small table on the green brick floor. Instead of sitting down, Song Keren picked up the broom at the door.

"I sweep the floor." Song Keren said.

Zhou Fang immediately showed a strange smile, looked up and down at Song Keren, and said with a smile, "You are really diligent."

Song Keren didn't say anything. Seriously, if she was lazy, none of the Zhou family would be lazy than her. If she comes up lazy, she is too lazy to even move her fingers.

However, Song Keren can't see it at all - dirty and messy.

In a dirty and messy environment, she can't stay for a minute. For example, the small grocery store of the Zhou family is really a grocery store, which is in a mess. Everything is placed outside, and I can't wait to put everything on the eyelids.

Once you look at it, Zhou Yong is not a business material.

In such a dirty and messy grocery store, it should be said that things are not complete. Even if silk and satin are used, Song Keren may not enter the door. Maybe the people in the village and Song Keren have the same idea, so Zhou Yong's business is half dead.

How can there be such a thing in business? Song Keren complained and cleaned it up at the same time. Her sister-in-law Zhou Fang didn't want to move. Her grandmother asked them to come to the shop. Just watch it and take it as a holiday. Otherwise, if you are at home, you will also have to be a female red to subsidize the family. It's easy to come here.

However, it's really a little sorry that her sister-in-law, who just entered the door, didn't help her as a second sister-in-law.

Two people and four hands cleaned up in the room after a while. The loading cabinet of the purchase cabinet, the money box that should enter the money box, the pieces of maltose that the child likes to eat are wrapped into yellow grass paper, and the broken salt bag is wrapped again.

Song Keren's sister-in-law brought a box of maltose and put it in her mouth first. The two made a bread of maltose and talked about it.

"Although Lao Sun's family has a lot of land, her widow is unemployed and is bullied every year. Grandma is just too honest. If she had followed me, she would have occupied their land long ago!" Zhou Fang stuffed another piece of malt sugar into his mouth and said.

"sister-in-law, can this grocery store sell anything else besides selling these things?" Song Keyen asked with a loaf of maltose.

"Don't think she is a widow, she is not honest! Do you know why people have dared not bully her in the past two years? I heard that she had sex with the patriarch. Zhou Fang said mysteriously.

"Sister-in-law, in fact, this grocery store can also sell some pickles, pastries and so on, right? I tasted the dessert made by my sister-in-law yesterday. It tasted good!" Song Keren said.

"Don't underestimate this patriarch. He is 40 or 50 years old, and he is not honest when he is a grandfather. Men are greedy!" Zhou Fang raised his eyebrows and said with a smile.

Song Keren closed the most and knew that he had no common language with Zhou Fangshi.

"I said, why did you live in grandma's house recently? You two are newly married...hehe..."

Song Keren listened to Zhou Fangshi's owl-like smile and suddenly got goose bumps. Married women in the countryside, talking about it, is probably the best topic to talk about.

As soon as he talked about himself, Song Keyen suddenly remembered Zhou Heng's face. That down-to-earth and handsome face, unfortunately, this face has grown in the wrong place and looks cowardly. She is not the best husband yet. Besides, Zhou Heng doesn't love her. Marriage without love is a sin.

"BY THE way, do you know? In fact, that baby is next to grandma!" Zhou Fangshi suddenly said.

Hearing the word baby, Song Keren's eyes also glowed. No wonder the people of the Zhou family are lazy. It turns out that there are treasures?

"Bao?" Song Keren asked.

Zhou Fang frowned and waved his hand in the air, as if he had hit Song Keren.

"You broken woman also installed it with your second sister-in-law. If you don't know that there is a baby in the Zhou family, can you marry the Zhou family? Zhou Fang gave Song Keren a white look with a smile.

"Ah? I really don't know, second sister-in-law, tell me quickly." Song Keren said.

Zhou Fangshi gave Song Keren a white look again and said dissatisfiedly, "You still pretend to be with me!"

"I didn't pretend. If I knew, wouldn't I have told my second sister-in-law?" Song Keren said with a smile.

Song Keren is very excited. Most people are excited when they encounter this kind of thing. A kind of ambiguous excitement, full of mysterious colors.

Zhou Fang turned his eyes, smiled and said, "It's okay to tell you. In fact, this is not a secret. Almost everyone in the village knows it. Our Zhou family has a treasure!"
