The beauty of the lady

Chapter 46
"Hey, what's the matter, now Da Ni is a member of your Zhou family, and it is her blessing to meet a mother-in-law like the old sister. Look at how well the old sister taught my two big nephews."

"Where is it?" Mrs. Zhu waved her hands and said with a smile: "Isn't your Xu family also contributing to this?"

Zhou Mei listened to the two old ladies flattering each other, but she was really not interested in continuing to listen.

She tidied her clothes, stood up and walked into the large kang room in front of everyone's sight, and saw Wednesday Zhuang eating a piece of Chinese cabbage with not much shredded meat, while in front of others it was either fish or chicken ribs.

"Father, are you full?" Zhou Mei asked softly.

Looking at his daughter's clear expression on Wednesday, Zhuang felt somewhat aggrieved and helpless, but in front of so many people, he couldn't say anything bad.

"I'm full." He nodded.

She looked at the people in front of her, then looked at the food on the table, smiled slightly, and said softly: "Yes, today is the old man's birthday, the food is delicious, but how can I be full if I always eat Chinese cabbage? Dad doesn't drink too much, so he will eat more steamed buns later."

"Hey, Dad knows." Zhou Zhuang felt that all eyes were on him, which made Xu Wang and the two old men seem to be aware of something.

"Then I'll go home first. Dad, go back early after eating. Don't let me come back to look for you. We still have a lot of things to do at home." After speaking, he looked at the old man and the two uncles with a half-smile, turned and went out.

When she left, no one left her, let alone greeted her.

Here, after Zhou Mei left, the atmosphere at the dinner table was a bit dull, but they also remembered that today is Mr. Zhou's 66th birthday, and everyone resumed talking and laughing afterwards. The left and right are just the third house who is not favored, and they are just other The Yue family in the room, even if there is something after the third room, they will not enjoy any benefits.

For the rest of the time, the others stopped talking to Zhou Zhuang.

After lunch, Zhou Zhuang told Mr. Zhou that he was going to go back. Mr. Zhou didn't even raise his eyebrows, and nodded casually.

When he walked out of the yard, Mrs. Zhu called out: "Third brother, are you going back?"

Zhuang nodded on Wednesday: "Yes, mother, I don't feel at ease when sister Mei is at home by herself."

"You don't live at home, where do you live now?" Mrs. Zhu asked casually.

"Oh, the child's mother is not in good health, so I took her to the city, and now the child's mother and Brother Tang are both in the city." Zhou Zhouzhuang is an honest person, and he understood just because of this sentence .

"In the city?" Zhu's voice couldn't help but a little higher, "Then where do you live? A rented house in the city?"

"Where is the money to rent a house, I found a job in a restaurant in the city, and put the child's mother there." This is what Zhou Mei asked him to say, although he felt that lying to his own mother made him very disturbed, But my daughter also said that if he tells the whole story, he will definitely find trouble with them when he goes to the house, and now his wife needs to rest and rest, and can't tolerate those troublesome things.

"You go back." Seeing that there was no benefit for Zhu Shi, she immediately felt in no mood to talk to him.

Of course, she would not have thought that this most honest son lied to her, otherwise she would have to kill him.

When I hurried home, I saw my daughter and Chunqin sitting under the old locust tree in the yard doing embroidery work. Although my daughter had just started learning, she was not very good at embroidery.

"Father, I came back quite early." Zhou Mei's tone was full of appreciation.

Zhou Zhuang smiled embarrassedly: "I'll be back after eating, is sister Mei full?"

"Where can I get enough to eat?" Zhou Mei smiled and said, "I'm at the children's table, and their hands are all in the dishes, how can I still eat."

Zhou Zhuang just laughed after listening to it. His daughter said this as if she was not a child.

But he didn't say much, but said to her: "If you're not full, let Chunqin make you something to eat. Don't be hungry. Let's go back to the city tomorrow morning."

"Row."

In the early morning of the next day, the father and daughter got into the carriage and went to the city.

When I returned to Fucheng in the afternoon, Mrs. Zhao was coaxing Zhou Tang in the house. In more than a month, Zhou Tang would be one year old. At this time, Zhou Tang was at an active age, and at this time he was being supported by Wang Nai Walking after school, she wears Zhao's new royal blue white bottom soft coat on her feet, and a brand new silk dress on her body. She is white and chubby and very cute.

Seeing their father and daughter coming in, Mrs. Zhao got up and walked forward, pulling her daughter to have a closer look.

"Are you all right when you go back?" They all understood the meaning of these words.

Zhou Mei pulled Mrs. Zhao to the side and sat down, and said with a smile, "It's nothing, it's just that I haven't eaten enough."

After finishing speaking, he told Mrs. Zhao what happened that day in detail. After listening, Mrs. Zhao just sighed lightly, and then changed the subject.

"It's fine, it's just a meal. By the way, since you're back, will you go to Mrs. Qu's place to learn embroidery tomorrow?"

"Xue, how could your daughter be the kind of person who gives up halfway." Zhou Mei bent her eyebrows and smiled, then stood up, stretched, and said to Zhao: "Mother, you talk to my father first, and I will take Zhou Tang went for a walk in the yard."

"Okay, let's go."

In the yard, Zhou Tang was learning to walk while being held by his elder sister, while Nanny Wang and Chun Qin were watching.

"Mother Wang, is the business at home going well these two days?"

"Miss, don't worry, there are still so many customers every day, and the business is fine. Madam has left the account book in the study for you, and I will wait for you to come back and read it."

"What about my mother's body?"

"It's all good. Although Madam is drinking medicine every day, Madam feels that she is gradually getting better. That Dr. Gongsun is really powerful. He came to give Madam a pulse yesterday. He only said that Madam's body is recovering very well. It'll be fine in two months."

That's good, if that's the case, their family really has nothing to worry about.

In the evening, the family got together for dinner, and Zhou Mei went back to her room.

Sitting at the desk, looking at the accounts for the past two days, I have earned seven taels in the past two days, which is not much, but it is still okay. My store is not big, so it stands to reason that I can earn five taels a day. If it weren't for the fact that my shop is relatively new and supported by Xiankeju behind it, it definitely wouldn't be the case. If the dumplings sent to Xiankeju are added every month, their monthly income is about 80%. One hundred and seventy-eight taels, after all, the demand for Xiankeju is huge.

In the following days, Zhou Mei went back to Mrs. Qu's house next door to learn Sichuan embroidery from her during the day, and read the accounts in the room at night. In a blink of an eye, it would be Zhou Tang's first birthday one month later. Congratulations are that Zhou Tang was under the age of one. When I was young, I was able to toddle and walk by myself, and I also learned simple vocabulary.
