Zhou Xiaoyun’s Happy Life

Chapter 136 Dabao’s new bicycle

 The entire summer, Dabao spent his time in excitement and elation.

Every time his friends talked enviously about his admission to Qiming Middle School, and every time adults asked about it cordially, Dabao felt an indescribable sense of satisfaction.

 It turns out that this is how it feels to have good grades. Dabao was not ashamed to boast about himself.

 On the eve of the start of school, Zhou Guomin, Song Mingli and his wife came to pick up their children. When I came here, I actually rode a brand new Phoenix bicycle. I said I wanted to give it to Dabao as a gift so that Dabao could ride to school when he starts school.

Dabao was so overjoyed that he got on the car and went out for a ride without waiting for Zhao Yuzhen to say a kind word. Xiaobao shouted "Brother, wait for me" and jumped on the back seat.

Dabao rode his new bicycle and took Xiaobao around the village. He went back and forth three times around the central road in the village as if he was afraid that no one would see him.

Zhou Xiaoxia and Zhou Zhihai saw Dabao behind the house and stopped, asking where the car came from.

Dabao has never had the two virtues of modesty and low-key, so he immediately exaggerated the fact that Song Mingli gave him this car as a gift: "...Third aunt, I can keep this car for a few years." Used to ride to school when school starts.”

Zhou Xiaoxia's eyes turned red with jealousy: "Third aunt is too partial. I'm about to go to junior high school. Why didn't they give me a new bicycle?"

Zhou Zhihai interrupted: "Sister, didn't dad just buy you a new car a few days ago?"

 How can this be compared! Zhou Xiaoxia rolled her eyes at her younger brother Zhou Zhihai. It is natural for my father to buy a car for me, but the third aunt bought it as a gift, but the meaning is different.

Dabao spoke unceremoniously: "Who made you fail the exam? If you had scored a few more points in the exam, wouldn't you have been able to go to Qiming Middle School? Third Aunt will definitely buy you a car as well."

These words touched Zhou Xiaoxia's sore spot. She originally felt butterflies in her heart when she thought of this, but she felt even more humiliated when Dabao said this. Zhou Xiaoxia, who had always been a high-spirited person, stomped her feet and went home crying.

Zhou Zhihai was already used to Zhou Xiaoxia shrugging like this and went to play with Dabao and Xiaobao, and even took a ride on his new car.

Zhao Yuzhen was so moved that she didn't know what to say. She was so kind to him that he even bought a bicycle for Dabao. She couldn't accept this favor.

Song Mingli was smiling and no one could find anything wrong with her work.

While the atmosphere was warm and harmonious, Song Mingli took the opportunity to mention her request to take Yuan Yuan and her grandma to the city.

She paid attention to her choice of words when she spoke: "Second brother, second sister-in-law, it's quite inappropriate for me to say this. But since we are brothers, if you have anything to say, I think it's better to say it directly. Don't be offended if I don't say anything." I'm used to living with my grandma, and I can't live without her for a moment. No, grandma couldn't stand being so far away for more than ten days, and she insisted on going home to find her. I thought it would be better to take my mother back to the city when school started. Come on, if you want to come back in the future, Guomin and I will deliver her back in person, do you think that’s okay?”

 Zhao Yuzhen knew what Song Mingli would say next after just listening to two sentences. After Song Mingli finished speaking, Zhao Yuzhen winked at Zhou Guoqiang, which meant that my guess at the beginning was right!

Zhao Yuzhen was unhappy, but someone had just given Dabao a new car, so how could she say no to it!

 Let the old man decide this question for himself: "Mom, what do you think?"

Grandma looked at the house where she had lived for nearly two months and then at Zhou Zhiyuan, who was tired of being beside her, and felt embarrassed for a moment.

go back?

 But I am living a good life in my second son’s house, and both my second son and his wife are not good to me. Zhao Yuzhen also specially made two sets of clothes for herself and bought some good food every weekday. With her restless temper, she had endless fun visiting people in the village. If you go back, wouldn't you think that the second brother and his wife are treating you badly?

not going back?

I can't give up far away, and many grandchildren and grandchildren, but she really loves the most with one hand. Besides, the third daughter-in-law Song Mingli has nothing to say to herself. Over the years, the two of them have basically never blushed. This time he came to pick her up so diligently that she satisfied her vanity. If she didn't go back, would it make Song Mingli angry and give her no chance to go back in the future?

Grandma thought about it carefully and finally ran out of ideas.

Zhou Guoqiang couldn't bear to see his mother in such embarrassment and said: "Mom, don't think too much. The homes of your sons are all yours. People say that an elder in the family is like a treasure. It is also your blessing that your sons want to honor you. It’s much better than those homes that can’t accommodate the elderly. If you want to go back, you can come back and stay for a month or two during the Chinese New Year, so we can be more filial as sons!”

Zhou Guoqiang thought that the small space in his home was too small for his mother. A small room of a few square meters was enough for a bed and a table, which was far worse than the spacious room at the third son's house.

The boss, Zhou Guofu, is a good man, but Shen Huafeng is not willing to take the old man to live with him.

 He had to admit that at present, it seemed that Lao San's house was more suitable for his mother to live in. He secretly made up his mind that he would build a building in about two years and leave a bright room for his mother before he could bring her back to live there.

Zhou Zhiyuan kept acting coquettishly: "Grandma, just come back with us! I don't want to go back if you're not at home."

Grandson’s words finally made grandma make up her mind to follow the third son and his wife back to the city.

After hearing the news from Zhou Zhihai when he returned home, Shen Huafeng and Zhou Guofu came over to pack her things for her grandma.

 At this time, Shen Huafeng couldn't help but regret.

She was originally worried that it would be difficult for the old man to evict her after living here for a long time. If she had known that the old man would come back and stay for two months before leaving, she would have taken the old man to live with her home anyway.

 It can show filial piety without worrying about future problems. It is very cost-effective.

The whole family had a lively lunch. After the meal, Zhou Guofu and his wife and Zhou Guoqiang and his wife sent the third family of three and grandma away together.

Before leaving, Shen Huafeng took a special look at Dabao's new car and said thoughtfully: "Haizi, third aunt, you are so generous. You actually bought a new car for Dabao to ride in school."

Who didn’t hear the implication? Didn’t it mean that my Xiaoxia is also in junior high school? Why didn’t I see you bring me a car?

Zhou Xiaoxia's crying at home made Shen Huafeng very angry, and Song Mingli was too partial.

It wasn’t until Zhou Zhihai told her that grandma was being taken to live in the city that Shen Huafeng realized that the car of love was here to shut up the mouths of the second couple!

However, she had to say a few words no matter what, otherwise she would be really angry.

How could Song Mingli not know her personality? A slight smile was her acquiescence. He led Zhou Zhiyuan and grandma to follow Zhou Guomin.

Shen Huafeng finally felt better after heaving a sigh, and then said to Zhao Yuzhen: "His second aunt, your family's eldest daughter is very promising. He has to go to the city to attend middle school in a few days."

Zhao Yuzhen accepted the order unceremoniously and replied with a smile: "Yeah, I originally thought that Dabao would not pass the exam, but I never expected that Xiaoxia, who has always been a good student, would fall short by a few points. It's really a strange combination of circumstances!"

Shen Huafeng was choked and said a few words casually before going home.
