So in the end, Zhou Lang asked Zhou Lang to carry a large bag of money, lead a group of people, and he rented sixteen mule carts after bargaining with the owner of the car dealership.
Then Zhou Lijun would settle the accounts, count out the money to pay the accounts, and keep a good account book.
Finally, they left the city early this morning, with sixteen empty trucks. Oh, no, it was packed with something, such as food rations for the sixteen of them.
It was held by Liu Lang and then managed by Zhou Lijun. The Zhou brothers had never thought about the rule that it was best not to bring women with them when doing business.
If you think about it carefully, the reason why our family is where we are today was because of Manbao.
Therefore, both Zhou Lang and Liu Lang sneered at this kind of rule.
Manbao delivered it to them early this morning, and then went to the drugstore. When he got home, Aunt Rong and Zhou Lang were the only ones in the small courtyard.
Man Bao ran into the kitchen and asked, "Sir, haven't they come back yet?"
Aunt Rong smiled and said: "No, I guess I won't come back until after dinner."
Man Bao nodded, then ran to see Zhou Lang again, and saw Zhou Lang sleeping on the bed.
She couldn't stand it, so she pushed him and said, "Fourth brother, it's sunny outside, why did you just fall asleep?"
Zhou Lang moved his body and said, "I can't work, so why don't I sleep?"
"It's good to go out and bask in the sun. I heard that the sun can grow bones."
"Are you kidding yourself? You can grow bones by basking in the sun? I've only heard that chewing bones can grow bones. If you can grow bones by basking in the sun, then children don't need to eat or drink. They can just go out and bask in the sun every day."
Bai Shan heard it outside the window and started laughing, but his laughter became more and more cheerful and he couldn't stop.
Man Bao lay down by the window and glared at him, "Why are you laughing?"
Bai Shan wiped the tears from his eyes and said, "I thought, according to what Brother Zhou said, a child only grows bones, but he doesn't grow flesh either."
Man Bao nodded repeatedly and found a point to refute, "That's right, that's right, eating is to gain weight."
Then she looked at Zhou Lang with disgust and said, "Look at you, you haven't been in the sun these days, you haven't moved, you've eaten well and a lot, you've only grown meat but not bones, and now you're fat."
Zhoulang's eyes lit up with surprise and asked: "Really?"
"real."
"Great," Zhou Lang touched his face with his good hand and asked, "Are you really fat?"
Man Bao nodded.
Zhou Lang also went to ask Bai Shan.
Bai Shan looked at him carefully and then nodded and said, "He's really a little fatter."
Zhou Lang felt regretful, "I should have known that I should go home with Lao Liu and the others. Anyway, I don't have to drive the car to do the work. I just need to sit down."
"What are you going home for?"
"Let your fourth sister-in-law see it," Zhou Lang said with a dreamy look on his face: "I have gained weight, so I must be more handsome now than before. I have to let your fourth sister-in-law see it no matter what, in case I look back and lose weight again
What to do?
Man Bao took a few steps back and looked at Fourth Brother carefully, and couldn't help but nod, "Not to mention, Fourth Brother, you have really become handsome after gaining a little weight."
Bai Shan also nodded.
Zhou Lang felt even more heartbroken and regretted so much that he even skipped half a bowl of rice at night.
He didn't know that Liu Lang, who had just returned to the village, jumped out of the mule cart and was stopped by Fang. She held Liu Tou and asked him, "How is your fourth brother? Is he feeling better? Can he get out of bed?"
Are you moving around?"
Zhou Lang was stunned for a moment and said, "Yes, can't fourth brother always get out of bed?"
Then he looked at his second brother and wondered what he had told his fourth sister-in-law when he came back. Why did he feel like his fourth brother was dying?
Mrs. Feng on the side gave him a sideways look and said, "If the fourth sister-in-law asks you anything, just answer it honestly. What do you want your second brother to do?"
Then he went to comfort Mr. Fang, "Don't worry, his second brother and Lao Liu have both said yes, so it must be okay, and aren't you going? I'll see you at the latest."
"Ah? Fourth sister-in-law is going too?"
Mrs. Fang looked worried, "I'm not worried."
Zhou Lang said: "What's there to worry about? Except for the fact that my left hand can't move, my fourth brother is doing very well. Yesterday he took us to rent a car. He negotiated the price with the shopkeeper of the car dealer, and his voice was louder than the other. No.
Those who knew it thought they were going to fight."
Saturday Lang glanced at Liutou in her arms, blinked and asked, "Sister-in-law Fourth, you don't still want to take the child with you, do you?"
"Of course, his father's hand is broken, how can a son not go and take a look?"
Saturday Lang said: "You'd better not go. This cart is heavy enough to carry wheat, so how can you... Ouch——"
Before he could finish his words, Mr. Feng grabbed his ears and pulled him away.
Mrs. Feng hated the fact that iron cannot be made into steel, "No wonder you can't get a wife, you deserve to be unable to get a wife."
Liu Lang was extremely aggrieved, and he was right, because they rented a lot of mules, and this time the dealer even sent a person to follow them, just to prevent them from mistreating the mules.
There are a lot of things loaded in this car. If there are two more people, a bag of wheat seeds will have to be moved.
The whole old Zhou's house is very lively. With so many people here, there is no room for them. Fortunately, the weather is not very cold now. Everyone can just set up a shed and curl up with quilts for two nights.
But you can't be careless when it comes to eating and drinking. Although Lao Zhou is picky, he thinks that the visitors are guests, and these are all people hired by his son, so of course they have to be well entertained, otherwise what will happen if they don't work hard enough?
So everyone at home was busy cooking. Wu Lang felt sorry for his daughter-in-law. When he saw her squatting and washing vegetables with cold water, he went up to her, pushed her aside, and then washed her himself.
Feng pulled Liu Lang's ear and saw it, then whispered: "Did you see, did you see, you and Lao Wu are only two years apart, why can't you enlighten yourself?"
Liu Lang freed his ear and shouted: "Marry a wife and come back to help her wash vegetables. Am I sick?"
After saying that, he ran away.
Feng couldn't catch anyone at all.
She couldn't help complaining to Xiao Qian, "Obviously Lao Liu is not young anymore, but why does he still look like a child?"
Xiao Qian smiled and said: "It's not clear yet. It will be better in a few years."
"In a few years, I will become an old bachelor, and it will be difficult to find a wife."
"No, our family is not short of money now. If you want to marry, what kind of wife can't you marry?" Xiao Qian thought very openly and said with a smile: "And mother is not in a hurry yet."
Mrs. Feng knew that her sister-in-law had always been closer to her mother-in-law, and she understood her mother-in-law better. Since she said this, her mother-in-law was naturally not in a hurry, so she could only stop mentioning it.
But she didn’t know why, everyone of the right age in the family was married, so she looked very awkward when she was alone.
After everyone was greeted and everyone went to rest, Lao Zhoutou took his cigarette and sat on the threshold to smoke.
