Chapter 183 I am so happy to have a family like you!
When Chen Moli returned to the iron factory, Zhou's mother gave her a red envelope containing 66 yuan.
"You and Sanfu got married in a hurry, and we didn't visit your home, so we weren't considerate enough in terms of etiquette. This red envelope is a little gift from your father and me. Take it, and buy whatever you like.
Why don't you ask for a few more days off from the factory? When you return to Zhoujiawan, we will give you a banquet and you can get married to Sanfu in front of the whole village. "
Chen Moli said with emotion: "Thank you mom for valuing me so much. I am already very happy to marry Jiafu. There is no need for those tedious procedures.
The factory is currently facing heavy production tasks. If you need to take an extra day or two off, it can be handled at our discretion. If the leave is too long, it will definitely not be approved. So let’s keep things simple.
I have severed ties with my parents. From now on, the Zhou family is my only home. Please tolerate my shortcomings, Mom."
Mother Zhou held Chen Moli's hand and said, "Good girl, from now on you are both my daughter-in-law and my daughter. If Sanfu dares to bully you, tell me at any time and I will help you deal with him!"
Chen Moli said shyly: "He won't bully me, he treats me very well, I am very lucky to have met him and such a good family like you."
Zhou's mother: "It's fate that you two can be together. Live your life well. If you encounter something unpleasant, come back and tell us. We will come up with some ideas together."
Chen Moli: "Okay!"
On the 27th of the twelfth lunar month, Zhou Chuanxiang and his companions gathered in Chang'anli, planning to return to Zhoujiawan together the next day.
After the Zhou Rong sisters attended night school, they exuded the temperament of cultured people and found good jobs. Zhou Chuanxiang was very envious and also wanted to let his two daughters come to the city to attend night school and have a good future.
He asked Zhou's mother which family had houses for rent in Chang'an. He wanted to bring his wife and children to the city and live in the same area with Zhou's mother and her family so that they could be taken care of. Otherwise, they would live in an unfamiliar place and get bullied.
Zhou's mother: "The Luo family across the street has an empty house. I don't know if they want to rent it, but many people have died in their family. Just don't be superstitious."
Zhou Chuanxiang: "Which family doesn't have deaths?! As long as the house is clean, everything will be fine.
Thank you sister-in-law for asking for me. I can just rent two rooms. I gave the foreman some gifts, and after the New Year, Qiuju can go to the construction site to help with the firewood. The salary is 22 yuan a month.
My daughter-in-law Chunmiao will be living here with Shitou, Xiangxiang, Tiantian and Jiaxing. I'll trouble you to take care of them when the time comes."
Mother Zhou: “Sure.”
Zhou Jiashun listened to the conversation between the two and said, "If the Luo family has any extra rooms, please help me rent one. I want to bring Xiaomei and the children to the city. Otherwise, I only see them once a year. It's hard to miss them."
Mother Zhou: "Okay, I'll go ask."
Luo Qiuyue's tavern was also a public-private partnership. Before the partnership, she recruited Ma Erya as an apprentice in the store, paying her 18 yuan a month.
She originally wanted to recruit her as a regular employee, but Ma Erya was too young. When she submitted her cooperation documents, the street office raised questions. She was too tongue-tied to respond, so she could only arrange an apprentice position for her.
Even so, Ma Erya was very happy because she no longer had to rely on her sister for support and could support herself!
In order to thank Luo Qiuyue, Ma Erya took on almost all the housework at home.
When Luo Qiuyue had free time, she concentrated on teaching Luo Dafen and Luo Xiaofen how to read.
The learning atmosphere in Zhou Rong's home infected Luo Qiuyue, and she also wanted to raise her children to be better.
Even if there is no family business to inherit in the future, the two children can live a good life with their own abilities...
When Zhou's mother arrived at Luo's house, Luo Qiuyue was helping Dafen with her homework.
After listening to Zhou's mother's request, Luo Qiuyue said: "There are two rooms in my house that have been empty. They were previously occupied by Daya's parents and grandparents. Huzi is timid and dare not live alone. He currently has a small bed in his sister's room.
If you don't mind, I'll rent those two rooms to you at a low price. You can clean up the study room and live in it. It's 3 cents a month, and we share the electricity bill. We can use the kitchen together."
Hu Zi didn't know if he was scared or what, but ever since Du Chunhua and the others passed away, he always talked in his sleep in the middle of the night, asking his parents and grandparents not to look for him and that he didn't want to go to the underworld.
The noise was so loud that Luo Qiuyue was often woken up by it.
Luo Qiuyue didn't think anything of it at first, but after hearing it many times, she started to feel scared.
After all, these people were killed by her directly or indirectly. Six lives. Whenever she thinks back on the past, she feels a little scared.
She was also worried that the Ma family would come after her or harm her children.
If there were more people living in the house, especially a prominent family like the Zhou family, those ghosts should not dare to cause trouble, right?
Zhou's mother went home and told Zhou Chuanxiang and Zhou Jiashun about the rent. The two thought it was reasonable and agreed readily.
Zhou Rong bought a set of clothes for Chen Moli as a wedding gift from her, the elder sister-in-law, to supplement their wedding.
Zhou Gui and Zhou Cai also gave scarves, hats, gloves and other gifts.
Chen Moli was moved and said: "Thank you! I am so happy to have a family like you!"
Zhou Rong: "You just mentioned marriage when you came to our house last time, so we didn't have time to prepare gifts, so we can only make up for it today. We have used up all the cotton coupons to buy jackets, so we will save some for next year and prepare a few wedding quilts for you."
Chen Moli: "Thank you, big sister. New clothes are enough. We have quilts to cover ourselves with, so we don't need to prepare anything else."
Zhou Rong: "When you get married, you have to act like you're getting married. Mom said that you are both her daughter-in-law and her daughter. When our Zhou family daughters get married, they all have six wedding quilts, so yours can't be any less. Don't worry about anything, we'll take care of it for you."
Chen Moli said with emotion: "Thank you, elder sister! From now on, you will be my closest family. I will protect this home with you!"
Zhou Rong: "Okay, let's work together."
Zhou Rong's shop was closed on the afternoon of New Year's Eve. When she got home, Zhou Jiaguang had already cooked the soup and prepared the dishes, just waiting to be put into the pan.
Before Zhou's mother returned to Zhoujiawan, she fried some meat balls, lotus root dumplings, and tofu cubes and kept them at home. Bacon and salted fish were also ready, so all she needed to do for the New Year's dinner was to stew a soup and stir-fry a few side dishes.
Seeing Zhou Jiaguang wearing an apron and counting the dishes carefully, Zhou Rong praised: "Qi Guang is really amazing. If it weren't for you, we wouldn't even be able to have the New Year's Eve dinner."
Zhou Rong bought a lot of books, including fairy tales, prose novels by some famous contemporary scholars, science and physics books, covering everything. As long as it was available in the market, she would take it home.
Zhou Rong hopes that children can absorb as much knowledge as possible, enrich their cognition and broaden their horizons when they can read freely.
Zhou Jiaguang doesn't like to read other books, he only likes to read fairy tales.
The experiences during this period made Zhou Jiaguang feel that his current situation was the same as those of the herbivores in the books, who had unfortunately fallen into the life circle of carnivorous animals.
As an existence at the bottom of the food chain, if you want to protect yourself, it seems that there is no other choice but to be obedient...
