The three of them finally boiled the water. Chen Zhizhi held a bowl of hot water and blew it while curiously asking Mrs. Zhou.
"Mistress, why don't we go to the other uncles' houses?"
Every time Mrs. Zhou went back to her parents' house, she always went directly to Zhou Jiang's house. And every time I come here, I am served delicious food and drinks.
This is the first time, and I can’t even get a drink of water.
She gently blew on the hot air rising from the bowl, took a sip, and slowly put the bowl down, planning to say that she didn't know either.
Then I saw a large group of people coming in with cheers from the yard.
"Brother, sister-in-law, are you at home?"
Those who came were Zhou Hong'e and Zhou Qing'e, two sisters who were married to a village.
The two also brought several grandchildren, totaling nearly ten people in total.
"Eldest sister, second sister, you are here." Mrs. Zhou put down the bowl and walked to the small courtyard.
"Hello, Auntie!" A large group of juniors shouted to Mrs. Zhou in unison.
"Where are the eldest brother and sister-in-law?" Zhou Hong'e asked.
"Your eldest brother is not at home and has gone to the mountains. Your eldest sister-in-law is in the room and doesn't know what she is doing right now." Mrs. Zhou's words were vague and specious.
"Have you eaten? You must be tired from all the way here. Come and sit down, have a drink of water and have a rest." She said to everyone with great enthusiasm, then turned to the kitchen and shouted, "Da Ya, hurry up and bring some water out for your aunts and cousins to drink."
Although Chen Zhizhi and the other three were reluctant, they did not dare to disobey Mrs. Zhou's orders.
So, the three of them took out the water that had just been boiled and had not had a chance to drink a few sips with displeasure on their faces.
"This is your aunt, don't you remember?" Mrs. Zhou urged.
"Hello, auntie." Chen Zhizhi and the three of them shouted in unison.
"Hey, these children are exhausted from walking all the way. They have just boiled the water and are planning to take a rest, so here you are." Mrs. Zhou looked at the two sisters with a look in her eyes. Feeling helpless, he explained why Chen Zhizhi and the others were unhappy.
"What? You boiled this water?" Zhou Qing'e stared in disbelief.
"Yes, where is sister-in-law?" Zhou Hong'e frowned tightly, looking unhappy.
"When we came, she was cleaning shoes in the yard. I just chatted with her for a few words, and she came into the house." Mrs. Zhou pointed to the straw shoes and wooden basin in the yard, her tone A little bit disappointed.
"This Ma Lanhua didn't like us very much before, but I didn't expect that she looks down on us so much now." Zhou Hong'e had a bad temper and immediately went into the house to find Ma's theory.
"Hey, maybe there is something in the houseWhat's going on? After we drank water, we might as well go to Lao Er's house. Anyway, it was Xiaoqin who called us to watch the show. "Old Mrs. Zhou grabbed Zhou Hong'e and persuaded her softly.
"No, what's the matter? We are all here, and she doesn't come out to see her? ”
“That’s right, eldest sister, you are so easy to talk to.” We must first ask the elder sister-in-law why this is happening, and then go to the second sister-in-law. "
The two sisters Zhou Hong'e and Zhou Qing'e were very angry and wanted to go into the house to trouble Ma.
"Hey, eldest sister, second sister, and third sister, you are all here. "
"Xi'e is here. "
Mrs. Zhou heard the sound coming from outside the courtyard, turned around and saw her younger sister Zhou Xi'e getting off the bullock cart.
The only people standing beside her were her youngest sons Hong Hongtian and The younger daughter Hong Yaoyao did not see her eldest son Hong Niu.
“Little sister, where is the buffalo? "
Mrs. Zhou came today just for the marriage between Hong Niu and Chen Zhizhi, but now that Hong Niu is not seen, the marriage is not so smooth.
"Buffalo It’s true, Prince Wang values him very much, and he cannot be left out wherever he goes. Zhou Xi'e said with a smile on her face, and gently held the silver hairpin in her hair with one hand.
When she raised her hand, she revealed the thick silver bracelet on her wrist.
Zhou Xi'e and Mrs. Zhou's eldest daughter are the same age. Because she is younger, her brothers and sisters in the family are much older, and she is the daughter of her parents, so she has been particularly favored since she was a child. Her life was going smoothly.

She also married very well, and the person she married was Hong Mo from Zhuhai Village. Craftsmen's Houses.
There are bamboos everywhere in Zhuhai Village, and almost every household is a bamboo craftsman. Almost all the bamboo crafts in the area are from this village. Every family in Zhuhai Village is quite well off. < /p>
"Why are you all standing in the yard, where are your elder brother and sister-in-law? "Zhou Xie'e asked casually.
Zhou Hong'e and Zhou Qing'e told Zhou Xie'e about the matter in an exaggerated manner. After hearing this, Zhou Xie'e snorted.
She thought of the time when she was still in her parents' home. , Ma often disliked her for eating and drinking at home and not doing anything. But her parents and brothers and sisters didn't ask her to work, so she, an outsider, dared to criticize her. < /p>
"Shui Tian, put the things you brought in the main room. "
Hongshuitian turned around and went to the bullock cart to pick up a few bamboo baskets and put them on the floor of the main room.
"Okay, let's go. Sister-in-law is worried. We're here to eat. "
At this moment, Ma was rocking her little granddaughter to coax her to sleep.
Hearing the noise in the courtyard, he expected that many people were coming. He had no time to care whether the little granddaughter was asleep, so he put her on the bed and went out.
A large group of people quickly walked out of the courtyard. At this moment, Ma hurriedly walked out of the house.
So, they all thought that they were planning to leave, so Ma was willing to come out, and everyone felt really unhappy.
"Sister-in-law, I won't bother you to send it away." Zhou Xi'e looked sideways at Ma, with a look of disdain on her face.
"Why did you leave so quickly?" Ma asked.
"If you don't leave, will you be able to eat if you stay?" Zhou Hong'e muttered angrily.
Ma explained the recent two meals a day thing.
A group of people didn't listen at all and all walked towards Zhou He's house.
Looking at the backs of the large group of people, Ma felt very strange.
Except during the holidays, the eldest sister-in-law and the sister-in-law would not make a separate lunch when they come.
After all, there are too many of them, and eating a meal requires a lot of food.
At Zhou He's house, Zhou He's daughter-in-law Liu saw three sisters-in-law walking towards this direction with a large group of people, and her eyelids twitched involuntarily.
"Eldest sister, second sister, third sister, and little sister, are you here?" Although she was a little unhappy in her heart, she still stepped forward happily on the surface.
"Xiao Qin, didn't you ask someone to send a message for us to come to the show? I was not free, and these children insisted on coming." Mrs. Zhou held Mrs. Liu's hand and smiled. said.
"Sister, you are so busy, and you don't often go back to your parents' home to visit." Mrs. Liu said with a smile on her face.
"Second sister-in-law, we don't dare to go back to our parents' house. We are here to eat without being disliked." Zhou Xi'e said aloud.
"Okay, stop talking." Mrs. Zhou stopped her.
"You haven't eaten yet? I saw you guys coming here together, and I thought you all ate at my eldest brother's house." Mrs. Liu looked surprised.
She said hurriedly: "Just wait a moment, I will go cook for you."
Then she shouted to the three daughters-in-law, and in the blink of an eye there was a As if he was about to go to the kitchen to cook.
"Second sister-in-law, please stop working. What time is it now? Let’s go to Yunchan Temple as soon as possible. It will take a long time to walk there. We can finish our meal before it gets dark. I can't go home in time." Zhou Xi'e stopped Liu's actions.
"That's right. Let's buy some food when we get there. There are a lot of food stalls there, and I heard they taste pretty good."
