Chapter 202 Little brat meddling in other people’s business
Sheng Xiping's arrival came as an unexpected surprise to the Zhou family.
Zhou Mingyuan and his wife were very happy. One pulled Sheng Xiping to sit on the kang and chatted with him. The other left the room full of guests and ran to the kitchen to prepare meals for the guests.
Fortunately, during the Chinese New Year, every household has something to eat, and the meals are easy to prepare.
With just a few clicks, you can get seven or eight dishes.
Most people eat two meals during the Chinese New Year, one at eight or nine in the morning, another at three or four in the afternoon, and that's about it at night.
During the Chinese New Year, the train runs later, so it was almost two o'clock when Sheng Xiping arrived at Zhou's house.
By the time Wang Chunxiu and her daughter prepared the dishes and rice, it was almost three o'clock, which was exactly the time to eat.
As soon as the people who came to visit saw the Zhou family busy entertaining the uncle, they said goodbye and left in a sensible manner.
Zhou Mingyuan and his son were the only three people left in the room. They heard Sheng Xiping talk about how they had led dogs to fight jackals and kill leopards in the forest farm these past few days.
Not to mention Zhou Mingyuan and Zhou Qingyue, even Zhou Qingyang, a soldier, was attracted by what Sheng Xiping said and kept asking about their hunting in the mountains.
"Oh, you guys, stop nagging, wash your hands quickly, and let's eat.
After dinner, you young people, go for a walk when you should, and go wherever you like."
Wang Chunxiu called them several times in the outer room to wash their hands, but no one agreed, so he came inside to greet them.
"Daughter-in-law, we were just hearing from Xiping that a few of their young men were fighting against a pack of jackals and killing a leopard.
Ouch, you don’t know that when we got engaged and returned from our place with Xiping, we lived a wonderful life."
Zhou Mingyuan was fascinated by what he heard and said to his wife with joy.
Wang Chunxiu sighed, "Xiping, why are you so talkative? Mom is not against this hunting.
You are in a forest farm, and there are many wild animals around. If you don't fight those animals, they will enter the village and cause harm to people.
Mom just wants to say, please be careful.
You see when I was in the hospital, every year in various forest farms, apart from work-related injuries, there were also many injuries from wild beasts in the mountains.
This thing sounds exciting, but it’s actually quite dangerous.”
As a doctor, regardless of the department, Wang Chunxiu felt that he needed to remind his uncle.
"You are going to get married to Qinglan soon. Mom doesn't want you to be rich or rich, I just want you to be safe. Do you understand?"
Poor parents in the world, no parent would want anything to happen to their child.
Although Wang Chunxiu is not Sheng Xiping's biological mother, her love for Sheng Xiping is no worse than that of her biological mother.
"Well, I understand, Mom, I will definitely pay attention.
This time, it was mainly because jackals entered the countryside and caused harm to the breeding farms. The forest farm leaders came forward, so I took my men to fight them.
Mom, don’t worry, I have a few buddies who I have a good relationship with, and they are all quite capable. We are usually five or six people together, and we also bring dogs."
Sheng Xiping understood that his mother-in-law was working hard, and he didn't want the Zhou family to think that he was not doing his job properly and just wanted to hunt and fool around in the mountains all day long.
Wang Chunxiu nodded, "Well, I'm just saying, you kid is steady in your work, I can rest assured."
As he said this, Wang Chunxiu laughed, "Oh, don't mention this during the Chinese New Year. Come on, go wash your hands and let's eat."
So Zhou Mingyuan led his son and uncle to wash their hands and sit down again.
Here, Zhou Qinglan and Wang Chunxiu put the food on the table, took out a bottle of good wine, and poured it for Zhou Mingyuan, Zhou Qingyang and Sheng Xiping.
The whole family got on the kang, sat together, talked and laughed and ate.
"Xiping, eat more vegetables, eat whatever you want, don't be embarrassed.
Qinglan, pick up some fish for Xiping. This fish was brought to you when you were engaged.
I stewed one on New Year's Eve, oh, it's delicious. I've only heard people talk about thin scales before, but I've never eaten them."
Zhou Mingyuan and his wife both brought vegetables to Sheng Xiping. The small bowl in front of Sheng Xiping was almost full of fish and meat.
The Zhou family entertained Sheng Xiping warmly, and they invited Sheng Xiping to drink and eat. They all chatted while eating, making this meal very lively.
After dinner, Wang Chunxiu sent a few young people to go out to play.
It happens that the Forestry Bureau Cinema is very close to Zhou's home. During the Chinese New Year, the cinema is also open and shows several movies in a row.
There are not many movies to watch these days, except for the older ones such as "Tunnel Warfare", "Mine Warfare", "Little Soldier Zhang Ga", etc., which are also the "Red Lantern" and "Taking the Mighty Tiger" that just came out a few years ago.
"Mountain" and other films.
At most, there will be a few feature films produced by friendly countries, such as "Coast Thunder", "Better Die Than Surrender", "Underground Guerrilla", "Trauma", "Broad Horizon", "Women of Nanjiang Village", "Flower Girl"
etc.
Even though it was Chinese New Year, there weren't many movies to watch. Anyway, it didn't matter to Sheng Xiping what he watched, as long as he could be with Zhou Qinglan.
This time, brothers Zhou Qingyang and Zhou Qingyue didn't cause any trouble. Sheng Xiping and Zhou Qinglan watched the movie together, with them beside them.
Despite the small number of movies these days, many movies have been shown many times, but as long as movie theaters are open, the theaters are still full.
Not only were the seats packed, but the aisles were also packed with people.
The main reason is that at this time, cultural entertainment is too scarce. Apart from watching movies, there seems to be no other leisure activities.
Especially during the Chinese New Year, people are idle at home, and many of them go out with relatives and friends to watch a movie as a pastime.
So the movie theater was very lively, it could be said to be a sea of people and filled with smoke.
Amid the noise, it was also filled with the smoke and smoke of the mundane world.
Fortunately, as soon as the movie started, people automatically calmed down.
As the plot of the film unfolded, everyone was attracted by the plot and no one spoke.
Sheng Xiping had no interest in movies, but Zhou Qinglan beside him watched them with gusto.
Sheng Xiping didn't want to be disturbed, so he just quietly held his wife's hand, their heads were touching, and they whispered about the plot from time to time. This feeling was quite warm.
"Brother, is Brother Xiping secretly holding my sister's hand?"
Next to him, Zhou Qingyue seemed to have seen something with his sharp eyes, so he leaned close to his brother's ear and whispered softly.
"Little brat, just watch your movie honestly. Why do you care so much?"
Unexpectedly, Zhou Qingyang glared at his brother fiercely.
Everyone is engaged, but a serious unmarried couple doesn't care whether they hold hands or not?
Although Zhou Qingyang did not have a good attitude toward Sheng Xiping before, he just didn't want his sister to get married too early and start a family.
After these few contacts, Zhou Qingyang also saw that Sheng Xiping was a good person and someone he could trust for life.
Besides, both of them are engaged, and they may go to get the certificate one day, so who can meddle in other people's affairs?
"That's your brother-in-law. You have to change your words in the future. Don't let others say that our family has no rules." Zhou Qingyang warned his younger brother.
