Rebirth: the fiery age of Mori Gong's children

Chapter 464 School girl becomes sister-in-law

"Maybe on the evening of the 30th, we would like to pay New Year's greetings to our parents and let these two girls learn."

Sheng Xiping couldn't help but laugh and cry when he saw his daughters' actions.

These two girls learn things too quickly, right? A child who is only two years old actually learned to kowtow to pay New Year greetings and ask for lucky money?

"Well, the little kid learns things quickly, which is good." Wang Chunxiu took out the red envelope from his pocket with a smile, stuffed some more money into it, and gave it to Sheng Xinqi.

Sheng Xinqi took the red envelope, held it in both hands, bowed to Wang Chunxiu, and muttered, "Happy New Year."

No matter what the baby does, he is very cute.

Especially the two little girls from the Sheng family, who are both fair and fat, with their chubby little faces and chubby little hands, they look so strange to others.

Of course, we can't just focus on Xiaoxiao, there are also brothers Sheng Xinhua.

When you are a grandma or grandpa, you need a bowl of water to be level. So Zhou Mingyuan quickly took out the red envelope from his pocket and gave it to his two grandsons.

"Thank you, grandpa, thank you grandma." The two boys happily accepted the red envelope and ran away to play.

Zhou Qinglan took off the coats of the two girls, and the two children played on the kang while the adults chatted together.

"Dad, where are eldest brother and Qingyue? Why haven't they come back for the New Year?"

Sheng Xiping looked around and saw neither Zhou Qingyang's family nor Zhou Qingyue. He felt strange and asked.

"Oh, your eldest brother originally said he was coming back to celebrate the New Year, but he was about to leave, but he was sent on some mission, so he didn't come back to celebrate the New Year this year.

Those who arrive home on the twenty-seventh day of the twelfth lunar month in Qingyue spend the New Year at home.

Well, he went to the bus station to pick up his partner, and he would probably be back soon. "Zhou Mingyuan explained with a smile.

Zhou Qingyue graduated from college last summer. He studied mechanical engineering and was assigned to work at FAW.

"Ah, Qingyue has a partner? Where is he? Oops, we are late. If we had known that Qingyue's partner was coming, would we have asked Xiping to drive to pick him up?"

Zhou Qinglan was surprised when she heard this. She, her sister, didn't know that her brother was dating.

"Qing Yue's partner is from the county. He goes to the same school as you and will be assigned to teach students at the High School Affiliated to Normal University after graduation.

Our brat is very strict and never said anything. In fact, we have been together for two years.

No, yesterday I sent him to the county to pay New Year's greetings to the girl's parents.

Isn’t that right? We agreed to let the girl come to our house today to sit down and get to know her. "

When she mentioned her son's partner, Wang Chunxiu took out a photo from the drawer with a smile on her face and showed it to Zhou Qinglan like a treasure.

"Well, this girl, do you think she looks pretty good?"

When Wang Chunxiu said just now that the girl was from Northeast Normal University, Zhou Qinglan was quite surprised. When he looked at the photo again, he exclaimed.

"Han Manxue? What about her? Okay, these two guys got together behind my back."

As soon as these words came out, Zhou Mingyuan and others were stunned, "What? Do you know that girl?"

"Well, during the second semester of my sophomore year, a freshman named Han Manxue was arranged to move into the dormitory. She is this girl."

Zhou Qinglan pointed at the girl in the photo and said decisively.

"No wonder, why did Qing Yue always come to our school those days? He didn't go to see me, he went to chase the girl."

Zhou Qinglan had a look of realization on her face. Fortunately, she thought her brother was thinking about her and always went to see her.

This little brat has a crush on her roommate and is pursuing girls under the guise of looking after her sister.

Normal University and Polytechnic University are right next to each other, and there is a door between the two schools to facilitate communication between them.

Many boys from the Polytechnic University are looking for girlfriends at the Normal University.

At that time, Zhou Qinglan thought about introducing someone to his younger brother, but Zhou Qingyue sternly refused, saying that he wanted to study hard.

As a result, even though this brat was speaking righteously, he already had a target behind his back.

"When they come back, I have to take care of them."

Zhou Qinglan got angry, rolled up her arms and sleeves, and wanted to deal with Zhou Qingyue and the others.

"No, your brother finally got a partner, and you scare that girl away again." Wang Chunxiu heard this and hurriedly stopped her.

"Well, since you know this girl, tell me how she is?"

Wang Chunxiu didn't know that her youngest son was dating before. During the Chinese New Year, Zhou Qingyue came home and mentioned Sheng Xikang's engagement while chatting.

Then Wang Chunxiu casually mentioned that Sheng Xikang was one year older than Zhou Qing, and they were already engaged to get married. Where was Zhou Qingyue?

Then, Zhou Qingyue told the truth. He had been with his partner for several years and had never told his family.

Wang Chunxiu was so handsome that he almost beat up his youngest son.

Then after asking around, I found out that the woman was from the county, so he asked Zhou Qingyue to pay New Year's greetings to her parents and invite her girl over to meet her at home.

When he heard that his daughter knew the girl, Wang Chunxiu became even more anxious and quickly asked about the girl's character.

“He is a nice person, he speaks softly and softly, he is very clean, and he gets along very well with the people in our dormitory.

I heard her say that her father was a county cadre and her mother seemed to be a teacher. Zhou Qinglan thought for a moment and said.

Wang Chunxiu nodded. She had heard about the woman's family background from her son before.

All in all, the conditions of the two families are considered to be a good match. The most important thing is that they are both in the same place.

In the future, we can come back together during New Years and festivals, and there will be no conflict between returning to her parents' home or her husband's home. This is what Wang Chunxiu likes best.

As he was talking, he heard footsteps outside, and then Zhou Qingyue's voice came in. "Dad, Mom, Xiaoxue is here."

When everyone in the room heard this, they quickly went out and looked outside the door. Zhou Qingyue led a girl wearing a red coat and a beige woolen hat in from the outside.

"Manxue, these are my father and mother, and those are my sister and brother-in-law." Zhou Qingyue did not expect Sheng Xiping and the others to come so early, so he hurriedly introduced them.

"Uncle and auntie, happy New Year. Senior sister and brother-in-law, happy New Year."

When Han Manxue saw Zhou Qinglan, her face suddenly turned red. She didn't dare to look at Zhou Qinglan and just lowered her head and said.

"Hey, hey, happy New Year, everything is fine, everything is fine." With smiles on their faces, Zhou Mingyuan and his wife hurriedly stepped forward to greet them.

Wang Chunxiu took the thing from the girl's hand, handed it to Zhou Mingyuan, and then took Han Manxue's hand.

Over there, Zhou Qinglan also stepped forward, followed Wang Chunxiu to the left and the other, and walked into the house with Han Manxue.

Regardless of how angry Zhou Qinglan said just now, her demeanor immediately changed when she saw her future sister-in-law.

"Xiaoxue, come in quickly. Oh, you see, we haven't seen each other for a long time. I've been busy since I graduated and I haven't had time to go back to school to see you."

That earnestness is no worse than Wang Chunxiu's.

"Okay, you kid didn't say a word and you got the girl back." Sheng Xiping gave his brother-in-law a fist and said teasingly.

"Didn't I always study before? I was afraid that my family would object, so I never dared to say anything.

Brother-in-law, didn’t you say that? If you can find a partner in college, do it quickly and know the basics.

I majored in engineering. When I graduated and started working, there were few women around me, and it was even harder to find a partner.

I followed your advice and found it as expected. "Zhou Qingyue looked proud and smiled so hard that he couldn't even see his eyes.

When Sheng Xiping heard this, he was extremely happy. This brother-in-law is really a treasure.

"By the way, the car at the alley entrance belongs to my brother-in-law, right? I just saw it, oh, it's so beautiful.

Brother-in-law, let's go out for a walk in a while. Just looking at it makes my hands itchy. "

Zhou Qingyue studied mechanics and worked at FAW. He was more obsessed with cars than anyone else. When he saw the car just now, he couldn't wait to get on it and drive it twice.

"You are not allowed to send your partner back to the county this afternoon? Let's drive there together and let you have a good time."

Sheng Xiping laughed when he heard this. When a man sees a good car, he is even more excited than when he sees a beautiful girl. Zhou Qingyue's reaction is normal.

While they were joking, the two of them also entered the room.

At this time, Han Manxue had been dragged to the kang by Wang Chunxiu and her daughter, and the three of them were chatting in a lively manner.

Sheng Xiping took a look and said, don't bother them, just hurry up and cook.

"Dad, let's cook for the three of us this noon, and let my mother and Qing Lan take a break, just in time to chat with Qing Yue's partner.

We had an early meal at noon, and in the afternoon Qingyue and I drove the family back to the county, so there was no need to take a bus. "

Han Manxue is a female guest and Zhou Qingyue's partner. How can there be any reason to let her future father-in-law and brother-in-law accompany her to chat? That's why Sheng Xiping suggested this.

"Yes, yes, let's go cook. Your mother has almost prepared the food. Let's just put it back in the pot and heat it up."

Zhou Mingyuan nodded quickly, so the three of them took off their coats, put on their aprons, and went to the kitchen to get busy.

Just like Zhou Mingyuan said, the meal is prepared in advance. The chicken, ribs, etc. are all stewed. All you have to do is put it back into the pot and add some side dishes and other things to stew for a while.

The other vegetables are also washed and cut, and can be stir-fried in the pot.

Northeastern men can cook a lot, and some are even better than their wives.

I saw the three masters busy in the kitchen for a while, showing off their skills in frying and frying. In a short time, they had prepared a table of delicious dishes that were full of color, aroma and flavor.

The kitchen is so busy, how can Han Manxue and others not hear it in the house?

Han Manxue said several times that she wanted to visit the kitchen, but was stopped by Wang Chunxiu.

"No, no, no, Qingyue and your uncle can cook, and their skills are quite good. It's okay, let's just sit here and chat, and wait for the ready-made food."

It is the first time that the son's partner comes to the house, and there is no reason to let the girl do the work.

In some families, in order to show her authority, the mother-in-law will let the girl cook when the son brings a partner to the house for the first time.

It's also called "wanting to taste the girl's craftsmanship", but in fact it means giving the girl power and establishing rules.

This kind of thing can easily leave a bad impression on the woman. If she makes a bad move, the other person will be messed up.

Wang Chunxiu has been looking forward to it for so long, and his younger son finally has a partner. It's too late to be surprised. How can he let other girls go to work? So he stopped Han Manxue from going and chatted with Han Manxue.

At one o'clock, the food was all ready, so we took a stand in the east room.

The two little girls, Sheng Xinyue and Sheng Xinqi, were sitting on the edge of the Kang, and the others were sitting on stools. There were chicken, duck, and fish on the table, and more than ten dishes were piled high.

Han Manxue must not drink alcohol when she comes to Zhou's house for the first time. Sheng Xiping and Zhou Qingyue will have to drive Han Manxue back to the county later, so they cannot drink anything white.

So men drank beer, and women drank hawthorn beer.

This thing has just become popular recently. It is a red soda that is sour and sweet with a hawthorn taste. It has rich bubbles. Adults and children love to drink it.

Originally, soda was prepared for the children, but when Sheng Xin Hua Sheng Xin Yu and the others saw the hawthorn beer, they were all greedy and had to drink some.

People who celebrate the New Year just want to have a good time, so Wang Chunxiu poured some for the children.

Xinhua Xinyu's cup was full, and Xin Yue Xinqi gave her half a cup. The four little guys were so beautiful. They took a sip from the cup and then squinted their eyes to taste the taste.

This hawthorn beer is also a type of carbonated drink. It has a beer in its name. It is actually non-alcoholic and has a sweet and sour taste. Children are addicted as soon as they drink it.

"Don't drink too much of this stuff. You are still young and growing up. Drinking too much is not good. Just take a few sips to satisfy your cravings."

Wang Chunxiu saw that his two grandsons seemed to be bored and fell down again, so he quickly reminded them.

When Sheng Xinhua and Sheng Xinyu heard this, he immediately put down the cup and took a small sip, reluctant to drink it in one breath.

"Eat more vegetables. There are so many delicious foods, which are all made by your grandpa and your father. Come and try them." Zhou Qinglan picked up vegetables for the children and coaxed them to eat more.

These naughty kids, probably because of the Chinese New Year, don't eat as much as usual and are picky.

"Qingyue, don't just drink. Give Xiaoxue some vegetables. It's her first time coming back to our house, so she's too embarrassed to eat."

Wang Chunxiu glared at his son and told him to take good care of him.

When Zhou Qingyue heard this, he quickly gave Han Manxue a chicken leg and a piece of fish belly meat.

"Xue'er, when I come to my house, it's just like I'm at your house. Don't be embarrassed. My parents are fine. You can eat whatever you want. If you can't reach it, tell me and I'll pick it up for you."

Zhou Qingyue looked at his girlfriend beside him, so beautiful that he didn't know what to do.

"Yeah, um, I know, you don't have to pick up so many for me. I can pick up whatever I want to eat." Han Manxue said embarrassedly with a red face.

After eating, Han Manxue took the initiative to help clear the table, and then went to wash the dishes, but was stopped by Zhou Qinglan.

"Xue'er, just sit still, I don't need you to do any work."

"Yes, yes, you don't have to work, just sit and chat with us." Wang Chunxiu also smiled and pulled Han Manxue to sit down.

Han Manxue sat at Zhou's house for a while longer. Seeing that it was past three o'clock and she would miss the last bus if she didn't leave, she hurriedly got up and left.

"No rush, no rush, you can play for a while, and let your brother-in-law drive you back to the county later."

Having a car at home is convenient and you don’t have to catch a bus.

"Sister, there is no need to trouble my brother-in-law. The road to the county is not easy to walk. It takes three or four hours to go back. It will be dark when we come back. It is too dangerous."

Han Manxue didn't have the nerve to trouble Sheng Xiping, so she insisted on leaving.

Wang Chunxiu took a look and knew that he couldn't keep the girl, so he quickly put the watch he had prepared in advance on Han Manxue's wrist.

Han Manxue was stunned and hurriedly wanted to return the watch to Wang Chunxiu, but was held down by Wang Chunxiu and Zhou Qinglan.

"Xue'er, my aunt liked you as soon as she saw you.

You have been with our family Qingyue for such a long time, and he didn't mention it to me. If he had told me earlier, I would have given you this watch.

This is my aunt's wish. If you don't accept it, you will look down on your aunt and the Zhou family. "

Biao means a sign, indicating that the Zhou family fell in love with Han Manxue and agreed to the marriage.

Zhou Qingyue muttered something in Han Manxue's ear, and Han Manxue had to put down the watch with a blushing face.

"Thank you, auntie. I'll leave first then. When uncle and auntie are free, they will go to the county to sit for a while."

Sheng Xiping gave Zhou Qingyue the car key and asked him to drive Han Manxue to the station. "Don't be too anxious, just drive slower."

"Hey, I understand, brother-in-law."

Zhou Qingyue took the key and happily took Han Manxue out. He drove Han Manxue to the bus station, then bought her a ticket and watched her get on the bus with his own eyes, which made him feel relieved.

Zhou Qingyue went to see Han Manxue off, while Zhou Qinglan and Wang Chunxiu went to wash the dishes and clean the kitchen.

This man is careless when it comes to cooking. He cares about one thing but not the other.

The pot was not cleaned, the spatula was thrown into the pot, and there were unused chopped green onions on the vegetable pile. There were brooms randomly placed on the pot table, as well as vegetable soup that accidentally dripped when serving dishes.

The two women were cleaning up and chatting, mainly about Zhou Qingyue and Han Manxue.

Wang Chunxiu was quite satisfied with this girl, but he didn't know what the Han family thought of Zhou Qingyue.

"Mom, don't worry. Our Qingyue needs to be good-looking, tall, and good at work. If you don't like this, what else are you looking for in the Han family?"

Zhou Qinglan is quite confident in her younger brother. Regardless of their character and family background, Zhou Qingyue is a good match for Han Manxue. Logically speaking, the Han family has nothing to fault.

The two women were working and talking in the outer room. In the east room, Sheng Xiping and Zhou Mingyuan were coaxing the two little girls and chatting casually.

"Dad, I want to leave Songjianghe and open a comprehensive wood processing factory. What do you think?" Sheng Xiping mentioned this matter casually.

"The main reason is that I have been in the south for the past two years and I can't take care of anything at home, leaving everything to Qinglan.

It's not a big deal for us two to be in two places all the time. I thought, I still have to come back and do something.

Dad, do you think this can work? "The Northeast is not a deep city. Now I am working as an individual, and I don't know whether it is allowed by the policy. Sheng Xiping must first find out from Zhou Mingyuan.

After all, Zhou Mingyuan was in this position, and he knew more about some things than Sheng Xiping.

"Well, it's right to come back. No matter how well the south develops, it's inconvenient to be too far away from home.

Not only Qinglan and the children, but your parents and your mother are also very old. It's not okay for you brothers and sisters to be outside without anyone around to take care of you. "

Zhou Mingyuan hopes that his uncle will come back to develop a career. How can a couple always live in two places?

You can make do with it for a year or two, but that's not the way to live for a long time.

Sheng Xiping is getting richer and richer now. Once this man gets rich, it's not sure what will happen.

Even if Sheng Xiping didn't have that intention, he was afraid that some woman would take the initiative to pounce on him, so it was better to come back as soon as possible.

"But we really need to think of a way to set up a factory. It's definitely not possible for you to just come back and open a factory.

We don’t have this policy here yet, but when the time comes, you will be stuck everywhere and cause trouble. "

How long did it take for the turmoil among the Eight Kings to subside? Zhou Mingyuan also thought about his uncle.

"Huh? By the way, do you have a company in Hong Kong City?

In my opinion, you might as well come here to invest in the name of a Hong Kong City company and cooperate with the locals to build a factory.

Nowadays, all places are trying to attract investment. You already have import and export channels, and you can do things easily under the guise of investing in a port city company. "

Zhou Mingyuan had an idea and came up with a way.

When Sheng Xiping heard this, his eyes lit up, yes, with such favorable conditions, why not use them? "Okay, I know what to do."

The two men talked a lot about investing in and building factories, and Zhou Mingyuan intended to bring them together to help Sheng Xiping's Gangcheng Company cooperate with the Forestry Bureau to build a factory together.

Zhou Mingyuan is well aware of his uncle's abilities. If they can really cooperate to build a factory, the Songjiang River Forestry Bureau will definitely have great achievements in the deep processing of wood.

On the other hand, it can also solve the employment problem of a large proportion of unemployed youth.

Of course, this is just an idea, and the two of them have to discuss it carefully on how to implement it.

"Don't worry now. I'll talk to the leaders of the province later and get a feel for what's going on. Then we'll make the next step."

While they were chatting, Zhou Qingyue came back happily humming a little tune.

"Brother-in-law, let me give you the key. Your car is really nice. It feels like an imported car.

It's a pity that I only drove it on the street for a while. If I drove farther and the speed increased, I could test more performance. "

Zhou Qingyue handed the key to Sheng Xiping and said with emotion. "It will be great when our domestic cars can catch up with these foreign cars."

"Don't be anxious, just take your time. Our country started late, so we have to be given time to develop. Maybe in ten or twenty years, we will have very good cars in our country."

Sheng Xiping smiled and put the key in his pocket, taking the opportunity to comfort his brother-in-law.

Sheng Xiping and his family played at Zhou's house until after five o'clock, and then returned home.

Aunt Li knew that Sheng Xiping and the others would be back today, so she made the east and west rooms warm and left food in the pot. Anyway, whoever is hungry will take a bite, and whoever is not hungry will fall asleep.

On the fourth day of the first lunar month, Sheng Liancheng and his wife took their children and came down by car. It happened that the two families got together for another lively day.

Sheng Xi'an has a partner, and as parents, Sheng Liancheng and his wife should go over and meet her.

See what the girl looks like, meet her parents, sit down together and discuss the marriage, you must have an attitude.

Sheng Xiping was worried about his parents traveling far away and would definitely follow them.

Sheng Xinhua and Sheng Xinyu knew that their grandparents and father were going to Bingcheng, so they insisted on going together.

Sheng Xiping thought about it, and just went. When the two children grew up, they would come as far away as Songjianghe, and he took them as if they were traveling during the New Year.

Anyway, Sheng Xinhua was still far away from the start of school, so it was time for them all to go out and gain experience.

After thinking about it again, I already had the two boys with me, what about Zhou Qinglan and the two girls? Simply, the whole family can follow, anyway, it is not short of these two dollars.

In this way, Zhou Qinglan asked for leave from the school, and Sheng Xiping also called Wu Yucheng and Liu Yuhe to explain the company's affairs to them.

On the sixth day of the first lunar month, Sheng Xiping's family of six, together with Sheng Liancheng, his wife, and Sheng Xian, got on the train and headed for Ice City.
