Chapter 31

Mrs. Zhou smiled and nodded, "I know you are a good child, but there are some things I still want to tell you."

There were some things that she didn't want to say so much, but in order to prevent her eldest grandson from hearing too much of Li's words and being misled by Li's words, she decided to say a few more words.

"Grandma, please speak." Zhou Mingyi's expression suddenly became serious and he listened carefully.

Mrs. Zhou said slowly: "When your father and second uncle were young, the family conditions were not good. Your grandfather could not even read. I was the only one who knew a few words in the family, so the heavy responsibility of teaching the children fell on me."

"Your father is like your grandfather. He is not good at reading and has a poor memory. He can't remember many articles even after memorizing them several times."

"Your second uncle is better at studying. At that time, the family could make some money, but it could only support one person to study. I thought about it and finally decided to send your second uncle to study."

"The palms and backs of my hands are full of flesh. I also want them both to go to school, but my family really can't afford the cost of studying for two of them."

"You have also seen the result. Your second uncle was the top scorer in high school and took his family to the capital. I don't need to explain the hardships of the process. You should be able to understand it."

Zhou Mingyi nodded seriously, "I can understand that if my second uncle is good at studying, I should send him to study. It won't be a waste of money."

Seeing that he could figure it out, Mrs. Zhou smiled happily, "I say this to let you understand that now that our family is in the most difficult time, we should support each other and help each other as a family without any conflicts or differences. "

"Speak openly if you have anything to say. Don't think about it alone, guessing here and there, and end up thinking wrongly."

Zhou Mingyi knew that his grandmother was talking about his mother, so he nodded, "I will have a good talk with my mother."

Mrs. Zhou: "Your mother is quite stubborn. It's useless no matter how much you say about the things she believes in."

"I don't care what she does, but she must not divide this family."

Zhou Mingyi looked at Mrs. Zhou Zhou and saw the coldness in her eyes, and his heart suddenly tightened.

If the mother often complains or even complains, causing conflicts between the father and the second uncle, or discord between the brothers, the grandmother may really abandon the mother.

Zhou Mingyi was frightened by his own thoughts. He tried to calm down, "Grandma, don't worry, I won't just believe what others say. I have my own judgment."

Mrs. Zhou took Zhou Mingyi's hand, patted it gently, and said gently: "Live a good life, learn more, and you will be fine wherever you go."

"Life is a bit tough, but as a family we can get through it together."

When Zhou Mingyi heard this, he felt that the fatigue of the past few months had dissipated a little. His slightly dazed eyes gradually became clearer, and he nodded, "I listen to my grandmother."

Mrs. Zhou raised her head and looked at Zhou Rushan who was standing not far away, "Ashan, what do you think?"

Zhou Rushan heard everything Mrs. Zhou said. When she saw that Mrs. Zhou saw her, she walked to Mrs. Zhou and squatted down beside her. She felt aggrieved and her eyes were moist, "I could have married into the An family. If it weren't for my second uncle, We will not be exiled to Lingnan."

If she married into the An family, she would not be exiled to Lingnan.

I won’t live the hard life I have now.

Mrs. Zhou really had a headache when she saw the stubborn look in her granddaughter's eyes. She thought it must have been Mrs. Li who had said something to her.

Some people say so much that even themselves and others believe them.

Zhou Mingyi frowned, wondering what nonsense his mother had said to his sister.

Can you blame the second uncle for this kind of thing?

Mrs. Zhou looked at Zhou Rushan and said, "Then do you still remember a sentence, one will be prosperous and one will suffer, one will be harmed."

Zhou Rushan nodded and whispered, "Remember."

Mrs. Zhou asked again: "Do you know the meaning of this sentence?"

Zhou Rushan nodded again, "I know."

Mrs. Zhou: "Then tell me what this sentence means."

Zhou Rushan's voice became even softer, and he even lowered his head, "If one is harmed, the others will be harmed; if one prospers, the others will prosper."

Madam Zhou took Zhou Rushan's hand and said sincerely, "So we enjoyed the glory and wealth together at first, but now that life is bad, shouldn't we spend time together?"

"We cannot share wealth and poverty together. How can there be such a good thing in the world? We are a family, and we are a family no matter where we go."

"If you married into the An family and had no background, would you really live well in the An family? Ashan, the water in the back house is deeper than you think." Zhou Rushan lowered his head and remained silent.

Mrs. Zhou sighed, "Think about it carefully."

When Zhou Shitang and Zhou Shimu returned home, Shi Qingxiao had already cooked the dishes.

A small square table was placed in the open space, with a few small stools around it.

There is a vegetable, a meat and a fruit on the table.

Shi Qingxiao killed the bird and marinated it with the pork. She only cooked a little pork tonight, cut it into pieces, and put in a pot of water.

Enough for a whole family to drink.

If you can't eat pork to your heart's content, soup will do.

A vegetarian vegetable is celery.

The last one is a bright red fenugreek.

There is no white rice, only a pot of porridge cooked with brown rice, which also contains a lot of water.

Shi Qingxiao called everyone to come over for dinner.

Zhou Shiye couldn't get out of bed.

Zhou Shimu spontaneously brought dinner to Zhou Shiye in the house, "Eat it."

Zhou Shiye took the rice bowl and chopsticks and frowned, "This wild vegetable had a strange smell when it was raw. Why does it still smell strange after it is cooked?"

It just smells unappetizing.

Zhou Shimu's expression was indifferent, "You have only two choices, either to eat or not to eat."

After he finished speaking, he turned and went out.

Zhou Shiye stared at Zhou Shimu's back and rolled his eyes.

He was just a little confused. The second brother was so cold.

Zhou Shiye lowered his head and saw that the old bowls and chopsticks had a bit of black stain on them. His old habit relapsed.

He endured it again and again, and then he forced it to endure.

Zhou Shiye's eyes fell on the dish, he stared at it for a while, and finally took his mouth.

It doesn’t taste good, but you have to eat it.

Don't go hungry, otherwise you won't have the energy to work.

Zhou Yancheng, Shi Qingxiao, Zhou Shimu, Zhou Shiruo, and Zhou Shitang sat down around the small table. They had been sitting like this these days.

Eat early, otherwise it will be dark and difficult to work.

Several people had a hard time eating, and they all had little appetite, but they could only force themselves to eat.

Zhou Shitang looked at these dishes with clear soup and water, and felt like there was a faint feeling in his mouth.

She kept hinting to herself.

Some meat would be nice, and it would be even better if we could dig ginger and other things from the mountains in the future to change the taste of the dish.

Zhou Yancheng began to speak: "You should have heard about the house at home."

Three people nodded at the same time.

Zhou Shiruo's eyes were blank, "What's the matter? I don't know."
