After having breakfast and taking medicine, Lao Zhoutou and Qian took a lot of local specialties from home and took Liu Lang to visit the Qiu family.
In fact, it was Liu Lang who led them there.
When they arrived at Qiu's house, Old Man Qiu, who had learned the news the night before, closed the store and waited. Neither party was a difficult person to get along with, and the two children had already been engaged.
They even came to the capital specifically for the wedding, and the Qiu family were very satisfied both on the surface and in their hearts.
And when Old Zhoutou saw the Qiu family's shop and the small house he entered, he became even less embarrassed. In the future, these will all belong to his grandson.
No matter what the grandson's surname is, it's still the blood of their old Zhou family, isn't it?
Lao Zhoutou was smiling, and everyone had dinner at their restaurant at noon.
Now that Zhouji Restaurant has become famous on this street, Liu Lang's cooking skills are naturally not as good as those of the chefs of big restaurants, but the food he cooks is not bad either.
Even though he is not looking for exquisiteness, the rich and powerful family still recognizes his craftsmanship, so there are many guests for lunch and dinner every day.
The restaurant has hired a chef who is in charge of the cooking. Even if Zhou Lang doesn't come for a while, the restaurant's business can continue. It doesn't have to be closed as before whenever he has something to do.
Saturday Lang said: "Father, mother, the restaurant now earns more than fifteen taels every day, and sometimes it can earn twenty taels."
This income is naturally calculated based on their wages. Now, Lijun and Liwei also receive monthly income for working in the restaurant.
Xiao Qian listened and admired, "The capital is the capital, and we can make much more money than we in Luojiang County."
Saturday Lang nodded, "But the cost is also high. Fortunately, Manbao has a big house, otherwise our family would have spent more to rent a house."
Qian asked, "Does the restaurant still have enough staff?"
"That's enough," Zhou Lang said with a smile: "Now, in addition to buying things, Fifth Brother has also started to learn accounting from Li Jun. He is the one who collects the money every day. We have hired another job. Occasionally when we are busy, Li Jun learns from them.
They also come over to help after school, so there is no shortage of people."
Mr. Qian nodded.
While avoiding the Qiu family, she told Liu Lang, "I saw at the Qiu family earlier that the young lady from the Qiu family was also in charge of the accounts?"
Liu Lang nodded sheepishly, "Yes, she has always been in charge of their family's accounts. Mom, my father-in-law also said that he would teach me the recipe for making mutton soup after we get married."
Qian said: "It's not urgent. You brothers haven't separated yet, and you don't own this restaurant. We can't take advantage of the Qiu family."
She said: "What I mean is that since she works as a debt collector at the Qiu family, when you get married in the future, she can't leave her parents alone. So in the future, you and your husband can discuss it and we will be busy here.
She will just continue to help the Qiu family."
Saturday Lang happily agreed, "Mom, you are so thoughtful. She was also worried before, thinking that her parents would be too busy after she left."
Qian then smiled and said, "Your situation is different. In the future, their shop and house will definitely be left to your second son, but you have to remember that no matter what the child's surname is, it belongs to you.
Don’t bring a bowl of water to the wrong side.”
"Mom, I know that my father can let Man Bao's second child be named Xia, can I still mind this?"
Hearing this, Mr. Qian reached out and patted him, and whispered: "This matter is your father's problem. Don't mess with your father with this."
Liu Lang kept his mouth shut and didn't speak.
Old Zhoutou was drinking and talking with Old Qiu. Old Qiu was a few years younger than Old Zhoutou, so the words "Brother Zhou" made Old Zhoutou obey him.
It didn't take long for the two of them to call themselves brothers. Lao Zhoutou pulled Old Qiu and said, "There are many people in your capital and there are many stalls. It's so lively, but it's just too hot."
Old man Qiu said with a smile: "Brother Zhou, it's unlucky to come here this year. We are experiencing a drought. In previous years, the capital was not like this."
"I don't have many acquaintances. Fortunately, my daughter's house is big enough. All relatives live in it, and we can talk and talk. But it's uncomfortable to be idle all day. I feel uncomfortable in my bones, so I want to do something.
live."
Old man Qiu sighed, "Brother Zhou is a hard-working man."
Lao Zhou nodded shamelessly.
Zhou Dalang, who was sitting beside him, remained silent.
Just take a trip to Qili Village to find out how lazy his father is.
He didn't talk about it when he was young, and now that he can instruct his sons, he will never do it himself. However, he likes to wander around the fields and take a look at the crops.
In the whole family, the fourth child is the one who works most like his father.
But old man Qiu didn't know. When he first set his sights on Liulang, besides his good looks and having many brothers in the family, diligence was also a major factor. The boy was very diligent and eager to learn.
Because I didn't know anything when I first arrived in the capital, I often squatted at the door to ask him for advice. After going back and forth, the two of them became familiar with each other.
As a son, he naturally looks like his father, so Old Man Qiu had no doubts.
The first meeting between the two in-laws ended happily. After returning home, old man Qiu said to his wife: "Although I am from the countryside, I am very polite and I am worthy of being a student at home."
Lao Zhoutou and Qian said: "The people are quite kind, it shouldn't be difficult to get along with them, and Lao Liu won't be too aggrieved when living with them in the future."
Qian said: "You are marrying your daughter-in-law, not your son. Don't worry, he can't stand any bullying."
Lao Zhoutou muttered: "Aren't I worried? Lao Liu is not like his brothers. After he has awakened, he only thinks about making money every day and thinks less about other things. We don't have to think more about him.
think?"
Mrs. Qian smiled and said: "The young lady of the Qiu family is quite confident. This family member has her say."
Lao Zhoutou also felt that Qiu Pei was a bit shrewd, but Lao Liu was a bit naive to begin with, and it would be better to have a shrewd and capable wife.
So he nodded and said: "Okay, the in-laws have already met. Let's start preparing the wedding room when we get back. Ask the sixth child if he wants the current room to be the wedding room, or if he wants to change it."
Anyway, there are many empty rooms at home, so you can choose whatever you want.
Qian couldn't help laughing when she saw his generous look.
After returning home, Lao Zhou thought for a while and did not go back to his room. Instead, he ran to the main room to see his daughter.
It had been a while since Man Bao had lunch and he was feeling sleepy, so he lay down on the couch to take a nap.
The window was open, the bamboo curtain was half open, the wind blew in from the yard, and she was already half asleep. When Lao Zhou came into the house and saw it, he shook his head and said to Qian who followed him: "It's still the same as before, lying down."
I can sleep right away, and I don’t even know how to go to bed. What if it gets cold here?”
"How can you get cold in the dog days of summer?" After saying this, Qian still reached out and touched Man Bao's feet, then dragged a towel over her feet and pulled Lao Zhou away.
