Chapter 231 Sending Meat Home
Mother Zhou felt very distressed to see her son living in such a house, but the room was very clean and tidy, which showed that both children were diligent and clean, which also made her feel a little comforted.

Nothing is more important than having a good son.

"Xiao Ji, after the New Year, I will definitely find a way to buy you a job so that you can return to the city as soon as possible. I will never let you live such a hard life in the countryside again." Zhou's mother said.

Zhou Ji reached out and held Zhou's mother's hand, saying softly, "Mom, I'm not suffering here at all. I'm not busy at work, and the busy farming season is only for a short period of time. I rest most of the time, which is quite relaxing. So you don't have to buy me a job. Use the money from buying a job to buy yourself some good food and clothes. I've worked hard all my life, so you must be nicer to yourself."

When Zhou Ji sold his job and went to the countryside, he thought that life in the countryside would be hard. However, he never expected that life in the countryside was not bad. Because he had his previous savings, he did not have to live a hard life like the country people, and he also met someone he liked.

After a while, Zhou Jicai asked tentatively, "Mom, that Xia Qi..."

"He looks 80% like your father when he was young, so we can be sure that this child is your father's. We just don't know when he was born. Xiaoji, don't worry, mom will never let outsiders snatch your property." Zhou's mother said.

Zhou Ji patted the back of Zhou's mother's hand and said, "Mom, money is just a thing outside of our body. These are not important. What is important is your feelings. If you don't want to continue living with Dad, I will stand by your side. I will take care of you in your old age. You don't need to panic or be afraid. I will always be your strongest support."

After hearing what Zhou Ji said, Zhou's mother couldn't help crying. What's the point of having a man? A man will cheat and make her angry. It's better to have a son. If she can raise a good son, her second half of life will be guaranteed.

"Mom is rich and can support herself. You don't have to worry about her. The most important thing is to find a wife as soon as possible and give me two lovely grandchildren." Zhou's mother was upset, but she felt much better after crying.

After all, she has lived for most of her life, and men mean nothing to her. What's more, she has money and a son, so it doesn't matter whether she has a man or not. It's just that she must feel bad after being betrayed and concealed for so many years, but she is far from desperate.

Why should she let herself despair for a man?

Are men worthy?

Zhou Ji asked his mother to rest in the dormitory while he went to the threshing ground to divide the meat. Zhou Ji stood next to Yuan Bingbing, who asked suspiciously, "Who was that female comrade just now?"

"That's my mother." Zhou Ji explained in a low voice.

Yuan Bingbing raised her eyebrows.

Zhou Ji shook his head slightly, indicating that he had not told his mother about their affairs. "My mother came to the countryside to visit me and brought me some things. I will bring you some after the meat is divided and everything is done."

"Keep it for yourself, don't give it to me. I go home often and I don't need anything." Yuan Bingbing shook her head hurriedly. How could she have the nerve to accept something that someone else's mother had worked so hard to give him?

"It's your business if you don't need it, and it's my business if I give it to you. The meanings are different." Zhou Ji said with a smile.

Yuan Bingbing glanced at him, then turned her head to wait in line, but she couldn't suppress the upturned corners of her mouth. Isn't it good to have someone pay attention to her?

Meat, bones, blood sausage, and offal were distributed to every family. The captain also decided to divide their share equally among the people who lived in double dormitories and free multi-person dormitories. People who lived in multi-person dormitories felt that it was unfair for people in single dormitories to get so much meat. The captain immediately gave up their meat and changed it to a share for the educated youth site as a whole. Immediately, they dared not say a word.

If it wasn't for the purpose of giving them more meat, like in the past when one educated youth point was for one household, the families in the team could have received more meat!

Even though we treated them well, they didn't appreciate it and wanted a portion of meat each. Didn't we divide the New Year pig according to the number of people?

Yuan Bingbing and Xiao Tiantian also divided the meat equally. Yuan Bingbing walked to Zhou Ji's side with the meat on her back and whispered, "The dormitory is too small, and it's hard to handle the offal. I plan to take it to a friend's house to handle it. Give me your pig offal as well. I'll pack it in a lunch box for you later, okay?"

"Will it be too much trouble for your friend?" Zhou Ji asked worriedly.

"I've already troubled you so many times, why should I bother you this time?" Yuan Bingbing rolled her eyes. When did she go to Xia Chan's house for dinner and not bother Xia Chan to pack a portion for Zhou Ji? Even most of the food Zhou Ji took into the mountains was prepared by Xia Chan. "Don't worry, I will repay him well. He is my own friend, I will definitely not let him suffer any loss."

Zhou Ji smiled embarrassedly, then put the fish into Yuan Bingbing's backpack, "Then I'm sorry to bother you and your friend."

"Okay, go back and find your auntie quickly. Don't keep her waiting in the dormitory for too long." Yuan Bingbing said as she went to find Xia Chan. She gave the offal that she and Zhou Ji had received to Xia Chan and asked Xia Chan to help process it. Xiao Tiantian and Xiao Fengfeng also gave the offal to Xia Chan and the others, and they made an appointment to go to Xia Chan's house to eat braised pork tomorrow night.

It’s almost dark at this time, and it’s definitely too late to eat the braised pork today, so I can only eat it tomorrow night.

Zhou Ji returned to the dormitory and kept a quarter of the meat and bones for himself. He took the rest back to his mother. When he was about to go out to find a tractor driver to take his mother to the town, he saw Yuan Bingbing also going out with a backpack.

"Yuan Zhiqing, are you going to send meat home too?" Because his mother was nearby, Zhou Ji did not call Yuan Bingbing intimately. Some people feel that the person they are dating is of lower value, and he did not want his mother to look down on Yuan Bingbing.

Yuan Bingbing nodded. "Yes, I plan to stay at home for one night and come back tomorrow night. What about you, Zhou Zhiqing?"

"I plan to send my mother to the town to stay in a guesthouse, and then take the train back to the provincial capital tomorrow." Zhou Ji said.

"My home is in the county town. How about I take you to stay in a guesthouse in the county town? It's closer to the train station, so you don't have to rush to catch the train. Do you think it's okay, Auntie?" Yuan Bingbing said, turning to look at Zhou's mother.

It's a good opportunity to chat with Zhou's mother on the way and see what she thinks. If her three views are not correct, others will not be happy if they marry into this family.

Just like her own mother, she is indeed a good mother, but her values ​​are a bit distorted. She always doesn't want to give her daughter-in-law a good life. If Zhou Ji's mother and her own mother have the same attitude towards their daughter-in-law, then she would not dare to marry Zhou Ji.

Zhou's mother nodded repeatedly when she heard this. "That's great. Thank you for your help, Yuan Zhiqing."

"It's okay." Yuan Bingbing smiled faintly.
