The beauty of the lady

Chapter 4 Father Returns Home
"Is nothing wrong?" She asked while holding Zhou Mei's hands, and felt that her hands were cold, and pulled the quilt on her body.

Zhou Mei shook her head and said with a smile, "I'm fine."

"That's good, that's good." As he spoke, he took a pillow from the side, put it beside him, patted it fearfully and said, "You haven't slept well these days, so lie down quickly."

Zhou Mei thought for a while, isn't it suitable for sleeping on this kang.

Then he pulled the same old quilt next to him and covered him, before closing his eyes, he said, "Then I'll sleep for a while, just call me before dinner."

"Okay, you go to sleep." Zhao leaned over and tucked the corner of the quilt for Zhou Mei, looking at the face that resembled her own when she was a child, the smile on her lips was so soft that it seemed as if water would drip.

Zhou Mei was really tired. At first she didn't rest all day and night, and today she has been busy for nearly a day. Now she can finally sleep on the hot kang, and she fell asleep not long after.

After sleeping for an indeterminate amount of time, Zhou Mei was awakened by a low voice. She turned her back to the inside and opened her eyes, but did not move.

"Xiuyun, this is not an option for your family. Why don't you let Mei'er learn how to embroider with me, so that you can supplement the family income, and even if you marry in the future, it will still make your mother-in-law look up to you, right?"

Mrs. Zhao sighed, and said in a low voice: "I can't help it. The head of the family is in the town, and I am exhausted for our three mothers. I am not up to date. If Meier is willing, I must have no objection." It's just that this child looks like me, but has the same temper as the head of the family, and her hands and feet are not very flexible. When I was in the old house last year, I gave her to do embroidery work, and this girl didn't talk to me for several days."

Aunt Hua heard the words and said with a smile: "You, you know that you are used to Mei'er. This girl, who doesn't do embroidery work, is it possible that she won't make clothes for her husband after she gets married? It’s easy to say, you have to do it yourself, right?”

Here, Mrs. Zhao nodded, "I'll wait for her to wake up, and talk to her at night."

"Hey, that's it. If you really can't say it, let Meier go to my house, and I will talk to her."

"I see."

Speaking of which, probably seeing that it was getting late outside, Aunt Hua got off the kang and put on her shoes, and said to Mrs. Zhao: "Okay, that's it, I'll go back first, it's Chinese New Year, I'm so busy that I'm about to cry Father is calling mother."

Zhao said with a smile: "New Year's Eve is a good thing, and it's also good to be busy."

Aunt Hua sighed heavily and said, "What's so good, we are getting old day by day, and we still have to work hard. The good thing is those monkey bastards, I also loved Chinese New Year when I was young."

After finishing speaking, his tone paused, and then he said, "San Zhuang, come back soon?"

"Yeah, it should be two days after tomorrow. After the Chinese New Year, their restaurant will be closed."

"That's a good relationship. I won't come here these days. If it feels good, let's get together and talk again during the Chinese New Year."

"Understood, sister-in-law Hua, go slowly." Mrs. Zhao said to her.

"Hey, you can take care of your body with peace of mind. Which one of us is with whom? The balls and two fish I gave you will be carried directly to the yard for you to freeze. Let Meier make milk for you. I'll bring you some food a few years ago, so don't worry about it, and don't be polite to me." After finishing speaking, Aunt Hua patted the clothes on her body, turned and left.

Zhou Mei sat up, and saw a shadowy figure outside the window, it seemed that the body was very strong.

"Meier, you're up." Seeing her daughter's flushed face, Mrs. Zhao sat up and handed her a glass of water, "Just get up, let's drink some water."

After drinking from the big bowl, she stood up, walked over to put the bowl down, and got off the kang.

"Mother, what is Aunt Hua doing here?"

Mrs. Zhao was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Come here and bring us some food, and two fish. We will stew them during the Chinese New Year. There are also some vegetable balls. Don't you like them the most? Steam them in the evening." Let's have a bowl."

"Okay." Zhou Mei nodded without pointing out.

As for learning to do embroidery, she didn't want to, that kind of thing was too cumbersome, and it was of little use to her. In the end, it was nothing more than to please her future husband. She didn't want to waste her time on such a laborious and not necessarily pleasing thing.

Let's talk about it at that time, anyway, if I don't want to learn, no one can force her.

"I'll cook first, mother, you lie down first, and I'll boil some hot water to wash your body in the evening."

"Okay, mother, listen to Meier."

When she came to the kitchen, she scooped up a few handfuls of water, washed herself, and then went out with the wooden bucket.

After returning from carrying water, I set up a bamboo support, put two bowls of rice, two steamed buns, a pot of fish soup and a bowl of vegetable balls sent by Aunt Hua into the pot, set up a fire, and went to The small kang in the room.

After tidying up my room and laying out all the bedding, I turned around and went back to the kitchen, picked up the wooden barrel, and went out again.

She wants to take a bath, but the situation here does not allow it, and she can only take a shower once a day. She usually takes a shower in the morning and evening, and there are very few clothes. She just saw that there were only three, and two of them were damaged. Of the patches, only one is intact, and obviously the good one is reserved for the Chinese New Year.

Zhou Mei was worth tens of billions in her previous life, so her life was naturally a master. To be honest, the experience of this day has subverted her traditional concept. She never thought that one day she would be reduced to this level.

It's just that her stubborn temper is true, her personality is vicious, and she can be called ruthless. When she saw Zhao Shi and Zhou Tang, she couldn't bear it. If she said that it was all the obsession of the original owner , she didn't believe it.

She also has a younger brother. Now that she dies, the Zhou family will fall on his shoulders, but the younger brother has not yet graduated from college, and he is not very enthusiastic about doing business. In Zhou Mei's mind, even if the Zhou family does not have a big development, at least in the In the hands of the younger brother, he can also keep the century-old foundation.

After walking back and forth three times, she was already a little weak, after all, her body was really useless.

Now there is only one-third of the water in the tank. After taking a shower, there will be nothing left, at least to save for breakfast tomorrow.

Had to run again.

Opening the curtain, just as he was about to go out, he saw a strong man walking in at dusk, carrying a large bag in his hand.

Seeing Zhou Mei carrying the bucket, the man was slightly taken aback, and hurried forward to put the big and small bags in his hand aside, snatched the bucket from Zhou Mei's hand, and said, "Miss Mei is going to fetch water? Let dad go, You take these medicines and meat into the house first."

Before Zhou Mei could speak, the man strode away.

In the room, Mrs. Zhao heard a voice, and a weak voice came out: "Meier, is your father back?"
