Chapter 286 Wherever I feel at ease is my hometown
Zhou Mingqin and Zhou Mingqi were still listening to the noise at the dining table outside, while Zhou Mingshu put his favorite food into his bowl and sat aside to eat quietly.
It would take a long time to drink, so Mrs. Zhou and the second grandmother went home after dinner and helped her clean up the house, just in time to bring dinner to the second grandmother.
"His second aunt, that Xiao Shen is going to live in your house permanently. I just heard you say that his life story is quite pitiful."
"I'm not sure about this. I haven't talked to Shou'an yet. I'll ask him when I have time. I think Xiao Shen is a good kid, but he's a little pitiful because he has no parents."
"That's right, let's just live like this for now. What does the second son say? Let him rest at home and spend the next few days with the kids?"
"Okay, I won't let him go tomorrow. I'll take Shou'an to the town for a walk and buy some food if necessary."
"Okay, it's time to prepare more things."
This room has not been occupied for several years and is covered with dust.
The two of them cleaned the table and the floor, opened the doors and windows to let in some air, and then laid out the mattress and quilt.
After everything was packed up, he helped the second old grandfather into the house to rest, then closed the door and went back.
When they came back, everyone at the table had red faces from drinking.
I'm afraid he drank a lot.
When Old Mrs. Zhou saw this, she quickly took the jar of wine next to her away.
Drinking a little can make you happy, but drinking too much is not good!
How can I do business tomorrow if I'm so drunk?
"Alright, alright, finish the cup and don't drink anymore. Look at Xiao Shen, he's already drunk."
Shen Yang was lying on the side, already unconscious.
"Aunt, this kid has never drunk much alcohol. He can't stand it after a few glasses. It's okay. Let him sleep slowly."
Zhou Shouan felt a little tipsy after drinking so much, but he was not drunk. He was very sober and even felt a little excited.
"Come on, that's enough to drink. Go to town with your brothers tomorrow and let your father take you to have some food."
There are donkey carts and ox carts at home, which can be used to take a few people and save some effort on walking.
The food on the table was almost finished, and the few of them sat together and chatted for a while until it became completely dark, then they supported each other and went home.
This kid Shen Yang has no alcohol tolerance and got drunk.
Zhou Mingzhi and Zhou Shouan each held one of the man's shoulders and carried him back.
There were not enough beds at home at the moment, so Second Grandma let Shen Yang and her son sleep together.
When I have time tomorrow, I'll build another bed to use as a makeshift.
Ask my wife to chop some bamboo and then we can make a bed by hammering away at it.
Zhou Shouan took a shower and lay on the bed. Shen Yang beside him was sleeping like a pig. He turned over, and there was no trace of sleepiness in his eyes.
Who could have thought that he would come back like this.
His parents and grandmother lived in a house not far away.
The wheat scent emanating from the pillow makes people feel so secure, and the soft bedding is like my mother’s embrace.
Zhou Shouan rubbed his eyes. The moonlight outside was so bright, as if a lamp was on.
Every part of his hometown makes him feel warm from the bottom of his heart.
Zhou Shouan woke up from his sleep just at daybreak. This was a habit he developed in the military camp.
He got out of bed and stretched his muscles for a while. After that, he picked up the broom and started cleaning the yard.
After a while, Shen Yang also started rubbing his eyes.
"Brother Shouan, you're up."
Shen Yang was also looking for work to do. The two brothers simply cleaned up the yard inside and out and also took the time to make breakfast.
When the second grandfather and second grandmother got up, the house had already been cleaned up. They were surprised and happy, and hurriedly asked them to stop.
"I've been busy since I got home. I didn't even sleep for a while and I've already prepared breakfast..."
"Dad, Mom, I haven't been home to show my filial piety in the past few years. Now I finally have the opportunity, so I must seize it."
Zhou Shouan was a sweet-talker and he made the two old people smile.
"Okay, I'll give you a chance. The rice is pretty good. Wait a moment, I'll get some pickles."
Zhou Tiezhu brought a small plate of pickles with two drops of sesame oil on it, which smelled very fragrant.
"This is what your aunt gave me. Come and try it. The diced radish is crisp and refreshing."
Everyone ate the porridge, steamed buns and pickled vegetables, and they were all very satisfied.
Seeing that the time had come, Zhou Tiezhu took his two children to Old Zhou's house.
Boss Zhou and his men had just tied up the donkey cart and ox cart when they saw people coming and hurriedly invited them to get on the cart.
As soon as they left, Old Mrs. Zhou took her grandchildren to the flower garden and started working.
Now the ground of the flower bed is covered with small green grass, and they took hoes to cut the larger weeds back and forth.
After all, it had been a wasteland for many years. Some of the grass roots were thicker than fingers and the sprouts grew quickly. It would not do without someone to manage it.
"It's almost time. We can buy some stones when we have time. But we also need to prepare some soil. It takes a lot of soil to build the road."
"Okay, we can do it in the next few days. Now that your uncle Shou'an is back, we have another helper at home."
"Grandma, I think there are two. Little Shen Yang follows Uncle Shouan every day."
"You little girl, Xiao Shen just came here, and the whole village is familiar with Shou'an. If not him, who should they follow? You? But then again, no matter who comes to help, it's not for free. We have to pay them. If we don't pay them, how can they eat?"
"Yeah, that's true. I just said it casually."
Zhou Mingqi smiled awkwardly and continued with the work in his hands.
There were many flower and tree seedlings planted in the flower bed, but a small number of them did not survive.
Zhou Mingshu looked at the withered flower seedlings and sighed. He had no choice but to find a substitute later.
With nothing to do on the way, Zhou Shouan thought about the layout of his yard and expressed his concerns.
"Father, I have a brother from the military camp who will come over in a few days. He plans to stay at our house for a while. I see there are no empty rooms in our house. How should we arrange this?"
“That’s really not the case.”
Not to mention the empty house, there wasn't even an empty bed. Uncle Zhou frowned and thought for a moment, then suddenly had an idea.
"How long will he stay? If not, can we let him stay at your aunt's house for a while?"
This sentence was not only addressed to Zhou Shouan, but also to Boss Zhou who was driving in front.
"Uncle, there's nothing wrong with my family. There are plenty of empty houses. As long as people don't mind, it's fine."
Uncle Zhou Er smiled and said, "It's nothing. We are all men from the military camp. We have suffered hardships and should not be so pretentious."
Zhou Shouan and Shen Yang on the side:……!!
'Young Master, we can only help you so far!'
