Zhou Xiaoyun’s Happy Life

Chapter 133 Grandma (1)

 Zhou Guomin did not tell the old man after receiving a call from his boss Zhou Guofu, but discussed the matter with Song Mingli first.

Song Mingli's attitude was very firm: "No, what will we do if Yuan Yuan's grandma goes back? Although Yuan Yuan doesn't need her to take care of the children after going to school, she can still cook, wash, and clean up the house for us. He can still do it. If grandma goes back, how can we be busy in the future? We are both very tired at work. I won’t do the housework when I get home!”

 Song Mingli was used to the benefits of the old man's presence, but she did not agree to let the old man return to live in the countryside.

It’s not that Zhou Guomin hasn’t thought about these issues mentioned by Song Mingli, the key is that he is simply embarrassed to say these words to his boss Zhou Guofu on the phone.

If you say this, wouldn't it appear that you and your wife are using the old man as a free servant?

 They usually had nothing to say to the old man, and they didn't miss out on clothes, shoes, or nutritional supplements. From time to time, I would also give some extra food money to make the old man's money more generous.

A few years ago, when Zhou Guoqiang was doing business far away, his grandmother secretly gave Zhou Guoqiang dozens of dollars. Zhou Guomin and Song Mingli glanced out of the corner of their eyes and knew that they were just pretending not to see it.

Song Mingli felt unhappy and complained about the old man's eating and drinking, but her heart was directed towards the second son's house.

Zhou Guomin had no choice but to appease Song Mingli: "The second brother's family has many children and is the poorest, so my mother is naturally worried for him. Anyway, it is her business how to use the money, and we just pretend that we don't know. How much she can give, It won’t cost more than a hundred dollars.”

Song Mingli felt unhappy and put the matter aside after a while.

　　Later, the second brother’s house was built far away, and his grandmother spent all day at home worrying that her second son would not have enough money. The implication was that she hoped they could lend some money to them.

 Zhou Guomin and Song Mingli talked hard before Song Mingli agreed. Fortunately, Zhou Guoqiang paid back the money in less than half a year, otherwise Song Mingli would have been nagging in his ears for how long.

 A woman, no matter how highly educated she is or how broad-minded she is, when it comes to these issues, they are all the same.

Zhou Guomin was not happy for his mother to return to the countryside, but the boss spoke grandly on the phone, saying that life in the countryside was much better now and that he would take the old man home to enjoy the blessings.

 It sounds as if the mother has been suffering in the city.

However, the mother is the mother of the three brothers, and he has nothing to say if the eldest brother and the second brother want to respect the elderly. You can't just say that I can take care of the elderly!

That's not looking down on the eldest brother and the second brother. Don't cause any more unhappiness between brothers.

Therefore, Zhou Guomin told his mother exactly what Zhou Guofu said: "Mom, my eldest brother called me and said that he and his second brother wanted to come to the city to pick you up and go back to your hometown. I want you to Go back and enjoy your happiness. Let me tell you to pack your things and pick them up in two days."

 The old man looked surprised and in disbelief: "Is it true?"

 The sons are finally doing well, so how could she not be excited to think of honoring her as an old woman?

 She has been in the city for quite a few years now. The third child and his wife have always been kind to her, and her life is going quite smoothly.

However, as an old lady in the countryside, how much she wanted to farm in the countryside, feed chickens, and chat with her old sisters!

That is the hometown complex that can never be let go!

Thinking that now she is far away and old, she can go to and from school by herself. She stays at home all day long and her son and wife both go to work and have no time to accompany her. She is lonely and lonely. Apart from cooking, she does laundry and tidying up the house. No one spoke.

How happy it would be if I could go back to my hometown at this time.

Song Mingli saw that the old man was interested and his face was not very good-looking, so she didn't feel like saying anything, so she went back to the house.

Grandma then realized that she had made her third daughter-in-law unhappy by being overly enthusiastic and overly enthusiastic, so she couldn't help but said sarcastically: "Either you tell your eldest brother and second brother that I won't go home to live there. As soon as I leave, How can you two have time to eat from afar?"

Of course Zhou Guomin had to express his position at this time: "Mom, please leave Mingli alone. She really can't bear to leave you. You have been with us for so many years, and Mingli has always regarded you as her own mother. When I first heard that you were going back to your hometown I can't accept it if I stay for a while. It'll be better if it lasts longer. You'd better go and pack your things. I won't be able to prepare anything if I don't have anything ready in two days."

I have to admit that Zhou Guomin is very good at talking. He just turned around Song Mingli's gaffe and said it very nicely. It made the old man feel a lot more comfortable.

Grandma happily packed her clothes and went away.

Zhou Guomin went to the house and persuaded Song Mingli again. The general idea was that the old man should go back to the countryside to live for a while. If you want her to come in the future, you can pick her up again!

Song Mingli turned from anger to joy. Yes, why didn't she think of it? Let the old man go home for two months during the summer vacation to experience the nostalgia and family ties. When school starts, he will use the excuse that he is used to eating grandma’s cooking from afar and she won’t even eat it before picking him up.

I don’t believe that the old man will not be soft-hearted if he plays the far trump card. You must know that the old man has always brought him up since he was born. The old man and the young man are inseparable from each other and have deep feelings for each other!

Are you afraid that the old man will follow you to the city without feeling any distress?

After thinking about it, Song Mingli immediately changed her attitude towards the old man. She diligently packed the things for the old man and even took the initiative to buy two pairs of summer clothes for the old man and take them with her. In addition, he also gave the old man two hundred yuan.

This year's monthly salary is several times higher than a few years ago, but two hundred yuan is not a small number.

However, the shrewd Song Mingli will not be reluctant to give up money at this time. You have to make the old man happy and miss her well, then it will be easier to take her back!

Grandma spent two days in excitement and anticipation, and finally waited until Zhou Guoqiang, Zhou Guomin, and Wu Youde came with them. It turned out that Zhou Guoqiang specially called his brother-in-law Wu Youde to drive a tricycle to pick up the old man and take him home.

The three brothers sat down and drank around the table. Wu Youde didn't have much drinking capacity and he had to drive so he didn't dare to drink more.

Song Mingli showed enthusiasm and thoughtfulness, and frequently advised everyone not to just drink and eat more.

  No matter what is in her heart, she never shows it on her face. This is Song Mingli's brilliance. Compared with Shen Huafeng's little chicken belly and Zhao Yuzhen's cheerful and carefree, Song Mingli is much more tactful and able to do things.

 After a meal, the guests and hosts enjoy themselves. Finally it was time to go back.

Zhou Guomin grabbed the tricycle for his mother before his brothers. Song Mingli held the old man's hand affectionately and refused to let go.

The old man was so flattered that he almost burst into tears.

It seems that the sons are very kind to her as an old woman, and even the daughter-in-law is so reluctant to leave her. What else could she ask for when she is treated like this at her old age?

 Not to mention the tearful Zhou Zhiyuan.

Grandma finally got on the tricycle and accompanied by her eldest son and second son returned to her hometown where she had dreamed of for a long time.
