Chapter 45 045 Zhou Family Second Household
Mimi didn't go in, and Zhou Xingguo didn't care about her, but he speeded up his meal and came out after a while.

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

Mimi smiled and said, "I want Captain Zhou to help me and take me to the carpenter's place. I also want to buy something."

Zhou Xingguo nodded, "It's easy to handle. That's my second brother. If you have anything you want to buy, just tell him. If you have something ready-made that you like, just take it directly. If you don't have it, let him retype it for you."

When Zhou Xingguo went home and told his family, Aunt He, the wife of the village head, showed her a friendly smile.

Mi Mi smiled and nodded at Aunt He, and they looked at each other and smiled again.

Aunt He didn't come out to send Zhou Xingguo and Mimi off, but she asked Zhou Xingguo to pick two durable ones for Mimi.

Zhou Xingguo didn't think that his daughter-in-law seemed to have a good impression of Mimi. She never cared about the affairs of the village, especially the educated youth spot. If it weren't for the fact that it was closer to the mountains, she wouldn't go there at all. People actually look at Mimi differently.

Zhou Xingguo brought Mimi out, and even glanced at Mimi.

Mimi was dumbfounded.

With this look, why does it look like I stole your wife?

The house of Zhou Xingbang, Zhou Xingguo’s second brother, is not far away. After walking two houses, Mi Mi saw a yard full of sawdust and piles of wood. A middle-aged man and two young men were shirtless in the Saw logs in the yard.

"Second brother, where are you? Have you eaten?"

Zhou Xingguo didn't knock on the door, he walked into the courtyard familiarly, and then squatted beside Zhou Xingbang without moving.

Zhou Xingbang turned his back to the gate, thinking that Zhou Xingguo came by himself, he didn't even look behind him, and he didn't even give his younger brother a look, "I just finished eating, what's the matter, what's wrong with coming here so early? Didn't I tell you, The windows and doors were done at noon, and I had a job to finish in the morning, so people came to pull it at noon."

Zhou Xingguo handed over a cigarette, "No, isn't it? Zhiqing Mi wants to buy something from you. She doesn't have any boxes or cupboards. I want to see if you have something suitable here?"

Zhou Xingbang took the cigarette and lit it, "I thought you were here to urge her to come, okay, let her come over, there are ready-made ones at home, if you like them, just take them away."

Zhou Xingguo turned around and shouted, "Mi Zhiqing, come in and see for yourself, whoever you like."

Zhou Xingguo's voice scared Zhou Xingbang and the two sons of the Zhou family enough.

Is there anyone else at this door?
The three turned their heads together, and saw a pretty girl standing at the gate of their house.

The girl has red lips and white teeth, she is not tall, and she is very thin. She is malnourished at first glance, but she is very white, shining straight in the sun.

The girl was wearing a green military uniform on a hot day, with the chairman's badge pinned to her left chest, green rubber shoes under her feet, a green satchel on her right waist, and a military water bottle on her left waist.

Seeing Mimi's body, Zhou Xingbang, father and son standing in the yard could not help but twitch the corners of their mouths, and looked at Zhou Xingguo with puzzled expressions.

Is the child in poor health?Wearing so many clothes on such a hot day, isn't she afraid of being in the middle?

Zhou Xingguo ignored it and took a deep breath.

You ask me, how do I know?I still want to ask.

In the northeastern countryside, it’s not a problem for a man to be shirtless in summer. This is the norm. Zhou Xingbang and his two sons didn’t find it awkward. "Mi Zhiqing, right? Come in quickly."

Mimi smiled, and walked in generously, "Hi Uncle Zhou, I'm Mimi, a new educated youth, I don't have anything in my room, I want to pick a few from you."

Mimi is very thin, but she is good-looking and fair. This smile is not to say that it is a smile, but it is also much better-looking than the girls and daughters-in-law in the village. Moreover, she is born with a smile on her eyebrows and two dimples when she smiles. It makes people feel better.

The two sons of the Zhou family are both married, and they are very decent. Seeing Mimi, a big girl, enter the house, they nodded at her, turned around and entered the house.

Mimi glanced at the backs of the two, and her impression of Zhou Xingbang's family improved a lot.

Zhou Xingbang led Mimi to the wing room and opened the door. The room was full of ready-made boxes and cabinets, including a two-meter-wide bed.

Beds are not available in the rural areas of Northeast China, even in the cities, few people live in them, because it is too cold in winter, and the temperature in the house is not enough to sleep in the cold, so very few people buy beds, presumably they are custom-made.

Mimi glanced away and looked away at the boxes and cabinets in the house.

Mimi picked out a wooden box that was a little over one meter long and half a meter wide, and picked out a stand-up cupboard. The cupboard was not high enough to reach Mimi's waist, and there was room for cutting boards and seasonings to be placed on it.

Don’t even think about the closet, the room is too small to fit it, and she has space, extra things can be put in the space, if not, the quilt can also be put on the box, most people in the village do this.

Mimi compared to Zhou Xingbang, "Uncle Zhou, can you build another desk for me? It's about this wide and this long, and there's a drawer under the desk that can be locked."

There is still a space in the utility room after the kang has been set up. The space is not big enough to accommodate a large desk, only a table about [-] centimeters wide can be placed.

Zhou Xingbang readily agreed, saying that it could be done in the afternoon. Mimi was very happy, calculated the price and paid, and asked Zhou Xingbang to help fix the window glass. Mimi ordered a small kang table, and Zhou Xingguo took the lead she left.

"This is my second brother's house. My elder brother lives next to it, and next to it is my fourth brother's house, and then my house. Our Qiao Village used to be called Zhou's Village. There are more than 80 households in the village, and six of them are surnamed Zhou. Now the village There is also a ancestral hall of the Zhou family, which enshrines the ancestors of our Zhou family."

Maybe it was Mimi who gave the money so readily that his second brother could earn money. Zhou Xingguo also introduced the situation of Qiaotou Village with great interest.

Mimi listened carefully and asked a few questions from time to time, which made Zhou Xingguo even more interested.

Six adults in Qiaotou Village all have the surname Zhou, and almost all of them are relatives in the village. All the men in the village marry wives from other villages, and the girls in this village marry people with the same surname but different surnames.

The remaining [-]% of the people in Qiaotou Village had fled to the village and settled in the village in the early years, and they had all kinds of surnames. Due to the small number of people, the people in Qiaotou Village were united and did not bully outsiders, so they got along very well.

Especially after Zhou Xingguo was elected as the village head and team leader, the people of Qiaotou Village became more united, and even people with foreign surnames were willing to obey his leadership, all because three generations of Zhou Xingguo had joined the army.

Zhou Xingguo is the second generation. After retiring from the army, he devoted himself to doing things for the village. He was fair and selfless. He also tried his best to gain benefits for the village and asked his superiors for policies.

Qiaotou Village is actually a little richer than the other villages, but every time Zhou Xingguo went to the county for a meeting, he still cried for being poor. One is worse than the other.

Anyway, there is no money to eat, and the county always thinks that Qiaotou Village is the poorest in the county.

These were all things that Mimi gradually learned after staying in the village for a long time. At this time, she had no idea how insidious and cunning the righteous village chief beside her was.
