Chapter 539: A Hard Journey
Dong supported the chair and sat down, "Well, I'm about to give birth, and my sister wants to come and have a look. This is my sister's visit letter."
Zhulan had already opened the letter, and there was not much to say in the letter, it was just an apology for the interruption, and finally wrote the specific date of the visit, Zhulan looked at the date, five days later.
Mrs. Dong was puzzled. My sister said that she came to see her. She felt that it was not easy. My sister should come to see her when she gave birth. It was a bit early to come now, and it was not long before the New Year.
Zhulan put down the letter, "Your sister is coming to live in your yard, you can prepare the room yourself, if you need anything, ask Xuehan for it."
Dong was slightly relieved. There were a lot of things going on at home recently. She was really afraid that her mother-in-law would refuse, but at the same time she was moved. As long as it didn't involve issues of principle, her mother-in-law was really kind to their daughters-in-law. "Thank you, mother."
"The whole family is thankful, and it's snowing outside. If you have something to do in the future, let Chang Lian come. It's dangerous for you to have a big belly."
Zhulan looked at Dong's belly, feeling quite emotional in her heart, the family was about to add more people, and the Zhou family was considered to be flourishing.
Thinking of Xianggong, Dong said softly, "Mother, I didn't tell Xianggong."
Zhulan bent her eyes, speaking, Changlian and Dong's relationship is not as strong as Sifang, nor as lively as Dafang, the two have a tacit understanding, light but very warm, to be honest, Zhulan prefers this A kind of tender feeling.
Dong looked at the dim sum on the table, "This is something newly made by my sister-in-law."
Zhulan saw Dong's lips pursed. Since Dong's morning sickness period, Dong can eat a lot, so she pushed down the plate, "Try it, the two dim sums on the left are pretty good."
Dong was embarrassed to pick it up. She became more and more greedy after she became pregnant. The entire Zhou family had to pay for food every month. She couldn't help swallowing, picked up a bite After taking a sip, his eyes lit up, "It's delicious."
Fruits are rare in winter, and it is even more luxurious to make desserts with fruits. After the Zhou family got up, the fruit at home has not been broken. The sister-in-law has more materials to use, and the desserts she figured out are really good.
Zhulan smiled, "If you like it, take it home and eat it."
Dong Shi likes it but dare not take it back, she is not that thick-skinned, "Mom, a few yuan is enough for me."
Zhu Lan motioned to Liu Ya to put it on, and said to Dong, "Eat it, your sister-in-law will bring over the snacks, I don't have any snacks here."
Dong Shi heard this,
The roots of the ears were red, and finally accepted it with embarrassment, "Thank you mother."
When Mrs. Dong went back to the yard, Zhulan was worried, it was already snowing heavily outside, so she asked Mrs. Song to go back with her.
Zhulan looked at the snowflakes outside the window and was a little worried. The Li family's convoy arrived in the past two days, and it caught up with the heavy snow and blocked the road. Thinking of her family, Zhulan was silent. Zhou Shuren went to the capital, and another five One hundred taels.
The heavy snow stopped in the afternoon, and Zhulan breathed a sigh of relief.
Two days later, the motorcade of the Li family arrived. Li's father brought his eldest son and grandson Li Gui together. Because it was not the day for Zhou Shuren to rest and take a bath, the boss Zhou greeted him at the door.
Zhulan was waiting in the backyard. Li's father-in-law's appearance hadn't changed much, even his clothes hadn't changed much. He was still the simple man in Zhulan's impression.
Zhulan got up to greet her, "My father-in-law has worked hard all the way."
Li's father is used to rubbing his hands. The in-law's house is too luxurious. After entering the door, his eyes are not enough to see, and his hands don't know where to put them. This is all as it should be, speaking, the Li family should be grateful to the in-laws."
It's all thanks to the in-laws that the Li family is today.
In order to meet Mrs. Li's natal family, Zhulan specially wore ordinary clothes this time, without any jewelry on her head, only a hairpin, so Li's father was still nervous, Zhulan was silent, she restrained herself She tried to be easy-going, but compared to last year, she has changed too much. Li's family is all simple and intuitive, but they are very accurate. This is the discovery of her change.
Zhulan couldn't do anything about it, the environment she was in, the people she met were different, and her aura was restrained, she would still reveal something, plus she was a female relative, so Li's father was even more cautious.
Boss Zhou took the teapot and poured tea for his father-in-law himself, "Father-in-law, you've worked hard all the way, let's have a cup of hot tea."
Then he said to the uncle and nephew who were standing, "Sit down, you are welcome when you are home."
Zhulan looked at her when she saw her, and said with a smile, "I'm home, don't be so reserved."
Boss Zhou's honest appearance relieved the tense mood of the Li family. Because of Boss Zhou's reconciliation, the atmosphere was much better. At least Li's father stopped stuttering.
After the hot tea came into his stomach, Li's father remembered the business and took the burden on the table, "This is the account book of the two Zhuangzi, and the box inside is the money for selling grain, and it's all here."
When it comes to bookkeeping, Li Cong is grateful to his in-laws. Because of his in-laws, his grandson has the opportunity to learn bookkeeping from the accountant. They say that stupid birds fly first, and their children are not smart, but as long as they work hard, they will make progress. One year's work, remember not bad.
Zhulan took the ledger, the words on the ledger were not pretty, but she was serious, every single stroke was clear, and the calculated accounts were all correct, without looking carefully, Zhulan closed the ledger, "Speaking of it, boss The daughter-in-law's calculations are good, and it seems there is a reason."
Li Conghan smiled and straightened his waist. He didn't expect that his children are good at math, but it's a pity that studying is so hard. Now that the family has spare money, they send their grandson to the private school of the Zhou family. They all worked very hard, but they were still at the bottom. They wrote by rote and memorized, and then they showed their bottom when they wrote essays.
Zhulan blinked her eyes, and then came to her senses, every time Mrs. Li received a letter from her family, she would talk to her about it, the Li family was really bad at studying.
Zhulan thought of Li's putting gold on her face, Li said that she would give birth, Ming Yun and Ming Teng both studied well, Zhulan choked when she heard it, bah, it's obviously the Zhou family's good genes.
Boss Zhou had already learned to read words and expressions, his father-in-law looked like he didn't expect to answer, and said to his eldest nephew, "You remember the account book, right?"
Li Gui scratched his hair in embarrassment, "Well, that handwriting is not good, I will definitely work harder to practice calligraphy when I go back."
In the last words, the tone was very urgent, obviously because he was afraid that the Zhou family would think that he was careless.
Zhulan really likes the Li family, when Liu Ya came in, "Mistress, the food is already on the table."
Zhu Lan said to Zhou Lao Dao, "Your father is not at home, you have to treat your father-in-law well."
Boss Zhou helped his father-in-law up, "Mother, don't worry."
Zhulan's family had lunch, so Zhulan didn't go there. Boss Zhou was more comfortable entertaining her in-laws, but she didn't dare to eat when she went to Li's family.
