Chapter 212 I am the only one who lets others spend their money. Who else can make me spend my money
When people came to Zhou's house, in addition to giving Zhou Rong 10 yuan, they all brought some food from home, including rice, peanuts, soybeans, eggs, wild rabbits, etc.
Zhou Rong took the food.
Zhou Rong didn't want the money.
Zhou Rong joked, "I didn't spend much money on the gifts. If each of you gives me 10 yuan, I will be rich. This is also a disguised way of taking advantage of others. If the ancestors of the Zhou family knew about this, they would definitely call me a black-hearted person.
Put all the money away. You don't have city hukou, so you can't get various receipts. Things you buy will be more expensive. Keep it for your own pocket money. If you encounter any trouble at the construction site, you can come and discuss it with us."
Zhou Chuanyi's eldest son Zhou Jiaming thought for a moment and handed 10 yuan to Zhou's mother: "I heard that Sigui is getting married, this is a small gift from me, please accept it, auntie.
If she needs someone to pick out her dowry on her wedding day, please let me know in advance. The men in Zhoujiawan will always be the supporters of our daughters!"
Others also gave 10 yuan to Zhou's mother, saying it was a gift for Zhou Gui, and also promised to help Zhou Gui choose a dowry.
When a daughter gets married in the countryside, the brothers and nephews from her parents' side will help choose the dowry to show their importance to the daughter.
At the same time, tell the daughter's in-laws that this girl has the support of her natal family, and if you dare to bully her, you have to think twice, otherwise they will come to the door to beat her...
Zhou's mother accepted everyone's money and kept a record so that she could return the favors in the future.
"Thank you, Auntie. With your help in choosing the dowry, our Sigui family will be honored. Come and have a drink on the 27th!"
Zhou Jiaming: "No problem, we will be here on time."
There were many people including Zhou Jiaming and Zhou Rong's whole family, so they had to set up four tables before they could sit down.
The living room could only accommodate two tables, so the other two tables were placed in the yard. Everyone was toasting each other and the atmosphere was very lively.
When the neighbors learned that the Zhou family had 30 more brothers, they were shocked. Some families wanted to have boys but couldn't, so why did the Zhou family have so many boys?
Some people secretly thought that the Zhou family must have a secret recipe for having children, and planned to ask Zhou's mother for advice later...
Even if they sleep on the floor, Zhou Rong's house cannot accommodate 30 people.
Fortunately, it was still very hot in Jiangcheng in September, so everyone slept on mats in the alley.
This would inevitably occupy the space for those who had set up their bamboo beds to enjoy the cool air, but no one expressed dissatisfaction. They all quietly moved their own bamboo beds to the side to make room for Zhou Jiaming and the others.
Everyone has relatives, and visitors are guests. It is normal for Zhou Jiaming and his friends to stay for a night or two since they have come from far away. Making things convenient for others is making things convenient for yourself. When relatives come to your own home in the future, everyone will treat them politely.
What’s more, the Zhou family has more people and more power. If we cause a conflict due to a misspoken word, and everyone rushes up to attack us, we will not be able to defeat them!
With thirty or forty people, cooking for every meal is a life-threatening job. If Shen Xiaomei, Wan Chunmiao and others hadn't brought their own small coal stoves to help, Zhou Jiaguang, Zhou Rong and Zhou's mother would have been too busy to handle it.
Zhou Jiaming and his men saw all of this and after only staying at Zhou Rong's house for one night, they decided to go to the construction site.
Zhou Rong took a day off and took everyone to familiarize themselves with the construction sites one by one.
Every time he arrived at a construction site, Zhou Rong would give the foreman two packs of cigarettes, hoping that he would take care of Zhou Jiaming and the others.
Everyone suggested giving the money for cigarettes to Zhou Rong.
These cigarettes were purchased from Liu Wenchang before, without spending any money.
Including the gifts given when getting the quota, they were also Liu Wenchang's "contribution".
Zhou Rong naturally would not ask Zhou Jiaming and the others for money, and she only gave them cigarettes that cost 1 cents a pack. She did not take out cigarettes like Xinhua and Huashan that cost more than 9 cents a pack.
"How much does a pack of cigarettes cost? If you work hard and make a name for yourself, I will be proud of you as the daughter of the Zhou family. When you become leaders, I may even ask you to do things for me."
Zhou Chuanjing's eldest son Zhou Jiacheng said: "If there is such a day, as long as you ask, we can do it, no ambiguity!"
Others also promised that if Zhou Rong had any problems and needed their help, they would always ask.
Zhou Rong smiled and said, "I've remembered everything you said. I won't be polite when I ask you for help next time."
Zhou Chuanjing's second son Zhou Jiaqian said: "Don't be polite to us, just open your mouth and we'll be there whenever you ask!"
Zhou Rong: "Okay."
After settling Zhou Jiaming and the others, life returned to its former simple and fulfilling state.
In mid-September, Xie Cuilian gave birth safely to a daughter weighing 9 jin in the hospital.
She was worried about Zhou Rong's taboos and wanted to rent a house outside to recuperate after giving birth.
Zhou Rong told Xie Cuilian not to think too much, to stay at home and take care of her health. He also said that women in the new era should not be influenced by feudal ideas and should learn to control their own destiny.
Zhou's mother was worried that Zhou Rong was just being polite, so she found an opportunity to ask her in a low voice, "Do you really not mind? I noticed that you love money a lot after your divorce. What if Cui Lian ruins your feng shui and makes you spend your money?"
Zhou Rong thought, I am the only one who lets others spend their money, who else can make me spend my money?
"Mom, you are also a well-informed person. Those superstitious things are all psychological. Didn't you say before that the human heart is the best feng shui?
As long as I treat others with sincerity and do not do anything that harms others, I don’t believe that God will punish a good person like me.”
Zhou's mother: "That's what I said, but what if God is blind? There are many cases where good people don't get rewarded!"
Zhou Rong: "...Mom, why do you always spoil things?!
Erhua has to go to work, and if Cui Lian goes out to rent a house, you must go to take care of her. Dad will feel like he has lost his soul if he doesn't see you for a day, so I guess you will have to go with him then.
If you rent one room, it will be inconvenient for you to live in. If you rent two rooms, it will be such a waste!
Didn't you always ask us to be frugal? Why did you spend money recklessly? I don't have no house to live in, why did I spend that money?
Besides, this house was purchased and so many people have lived here before. Who knows if they have ever stayed here to recuperate after giving birth?
Things like Feng Shui are not applicable in this apartment. Don't think too much about it. I also advise Cui Lian not to think too much about it. When I say I don't mind, I mean I don't mind.
Your granddaughter is a big eater. Cui Lian has just started to produce milk, so her milk supply is a little low. She is always crying loudly, and it’s obvious that she is not full.
Don't worry about Feng Shui anymore, just find a way to increase your daughter-in-law's milk supply, don't let your granddaughter starve."
When her granddaughter was mentioned, Zhou's mother's attention was instantly diverted.
He slapped his head and said angrily, "If you hadn't told me, I would have forgotten that Miss Wang, who processes scraps of cloth at your place, gave me two crucian carps.
I was thinking about making soup for Cuilian this morning, but then I forgot about it when I was interrupted. I always felt like I hadn’t done something, but I just couldn’t remember it. Alas, I’m old and useless now!”
Mother Zhou said this and quickly ran to the kitchen.
Zhou Jiaguang can also make soup, but Zhou's mother wants to take care of her daughter-in-law during her confinement herself.
During the confinement period, conflicts between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are most likely to accumulate, and she doesn't want to be blamed for her laziness.
Otherwise, when she gets old, she will definitely suffer endlessly...
