The beauty of the lady

Chapter 50

So whenever Wednesday Zhuang came back, she would always follow her when she had time, not because she was afraid that Wednesday Zhuang would secretly give money to the old Zhou family, anyway, what his honest father gave was only a few taels, it was all his private money, no I'm afraid that those people are playing tricks behind their backs, and I'm afraid that Wednesday Zhuang will really hurt his heart. Although he is very kind, Zhou Mei still likes this father very much.

When I came to Old Zhou's house, I was cooking in the kitchen, and a few children were playing around in the yard. Seeing them coming in, they all stopped and looked at Zhou Mei and the others curiously.

Today Mrs. Zhao is wearing a brocade jacket with a peony pattern in Hunan color, an embroidered flower skirt, and a moon-white brocade pattern beige on the outside. In addition, she is already beautiful, so now she looks even more unbearable. ignore.

When she came to the upper room, Zhou Mei still noticed that the eyes of the men in Zhou's family had changed a little.

"Old man, we've come to see you, how are you doing these days?" Mrs. Zhao said with a smile.

"Very good, when did you come back?" Mr. Zhou asked.

Now that the conditions of the third house are better, he intends to restore the relationship between the two families, but he dare not do it because of Zhou Mei.

I have also heard it from my son in the past few years. Now the money of the third room is all managed by this sister Mei, and he can't intervene. I and my two sons have told him several times about this matter. How can this money be decided by the girl, but who would have thought that she would be told that the family business of the third room is now owned by this sister Mei, and at best he is behind the scenes.

Even if she didn't believe the words of the third son, there was nothing she could do.

After all, there are so many mouths in the family now, and now that the conditions of the third family are better, they don't want to help the family. I heard that they opened a shop in the city, and the business is very good.

In the past two years, the members of the Zhou family have all coveted the property of the third bedroom. I don't know how much they have, but they give 20 taels a year. There are several families.

"As soon as I got home in the afternoon, his father was cleaning up in the house, and our three mothers came first to deliver New Year's goods to the old man." Mrs. Zhao asked the girl to bring the food and food into the stove, and put the snacks and cloth on the kang, " This is all prepared by Meier, the second elder brother will add someone to the room, these things are made of soft cotton, it is very comfortable to make clothes for children, is the second sister-in-law in the room?"

"The child is only four months old, and he still can't do without your second sister-in-law." Tuesday Zhuang's smile was a little weird, but it returned to normal when he saw the silver lock that Zhou Mei took out.

"..." Zhou Mei pursed her lips, sneered, and then said to Mrs. Zhao: "Mother, we have delivered the New Year's gift too. It's time to go back. Dad is still at home waiting for us to have dinner."

To be honest, in the old Zhou's house, Zhao Shi would always feel uncomfortable. What she didn't understand was why the whole family seemed to be afraid of her daughter. Mingming Meier was a gentle little girl.

The mother and son said goodbye to the old man and went home.

In the kitchen, the two wives had already started cooking, and Zhou Zhuang was looking at the account books on the kang. Since Zhou Mei went to Yunwu Mountain to study medicine with Mr. Changchunzi every year, he began to take care of all aspects The accounts, and the rest can be looked at when the daughter is at home.

Seeing them come back, Zhou Zhouzhuang put down his pen, walked over to take Mrs. Zhao to the kang and sat down, and asked, "How is it?"

"How about what?" Zhao said with a smile.

Zhou Zhuang blinked his eyes, as if he felt that his wife didn't understand what he meant, "That is, didn't parents make things difficult for you?"

"No, I just sent the annual gift and came back. In such a short time, what can I do, don't think about it." Zhao comforted.

Zhou Zhuang nodded, if possible, he really didn't want to think too much about it, after all these years, he knew very well what kind of people in the old Zhou family were.In the past few years, their three-bedroom life has been going well, and the old Zhou's family has stuck together. The 20 taels a year is all private money given to him by Zhou Mei. As for the accounts of the public school, they cannot be touched. Even so, the old The people in the house are still talking about it every time, always saying that 20 taels of silver is not enough for so many people to eat and drink.

In fact, in the past few years, he has taken care of the accounts of the family, and he has a clear account in his heart. Although they are the only three rooms in the old house, and the three families are all together, 20 taels is enough for the family to use for two years. They always have various reasons to complain about not having enough money.

Although he is usually honest and honest in the eyes of outsiders, he also has his own ideas. He feels that now the old Zhou family is supporting themselves.

It's just that this can't be done, after all, they are my parents.

The only thing he is grateful for is not the kindness of his parents, but the silent support from his wife and children.

"You, don't worry, I will protect you."

"I know, always knew."

That night, after the family had dinner, Zhou Zhuang went to Zhou Yuzhu's house to chat with him with two jars of wine. Not long after, Aunt Hua brought Zhou Dun over, waiting for Zhou Tang to lead Zhou Dun to him. Aunt Hua simply slipped her slippers on the kang, and saw Zhou Meian sitting quietly in the kang, holding a large thread to do embroidery work, with a strand of blue silk hanging from her forehead, making her fair cheeks glow in golden yellow. Under the bright candlelight, it seems to be dyed with a touch of gold, which is so beautiful that it takes one's breath away.

After a while, Lu Chunhua breathed a sigh of relief, and said to Mrs. Zhao, "I haven't seen you for two years. Sister Mei looks really good-looking."

Although his family's son is one year older than Sister Mei, and although the relationship between the two families has not been seen for several years, there is no birth, but she also feels that her son is not worthy of Sister Mei, so she will This idea rested in my heart.

This girl deserves a better man.

"It just looks like my mother." Zhou Mei pinned the blue silk behind her ear with her index finger, smiled at Lu Chunhua, and continued to embroider the screen with her head down.

Since she learned how to do embroidery, besides embroidering clothes for her family, she also made some veils and sachets. As for this kind of large screen, it was the first time. It is three meters long. According to Mr. Zhao, such a large pair is not suitable for their small house, so let's talk about it later when we change to a bigger house.

In fact, thinking about it is also true. After all, the business of their family may gradually get better in the future. At that time, there will always be more servants in the family, and the current house is a bit crowded, and they will definitely have to change houses in the future.

In front of him is a picture of the rising sun, in front of him is the endless blue ocean, in the distance is a half-red sun that has just risen, there are dense reefs nearby, and there are islands and fairy mountains in the distance. She helped choose it, and she also thought it was very majestic and beautiful, or she would give it to the senior brother after the embroidery was finished, and then embroider another one for the second senior brother.

You must know that if she does not do anything else to embroider this one, it will take at least two months, while Grandma Qu will not be able to use it for a month. Although Zhou Mei is not as good as old lady Qu's embroidery work now, but this I have learned [-]% of it in a few years, not because she is so smart or skillful, but because she is willing to work hard.
