MTL - Traveling Through Ancient Times To Be a Shopkeeper-Chapter 82

Qinghe Village.

"Really? Yuan Yuan is pregnant!"

Zhou Yong's three brothers brought back news and told Zhou's father and Zhou's mother that Zhou Yuan was pregnant for more than a month. Zhou's father and Zhou's mother were overjoyed.

"How is Yuan Yuan's health? Is your appetite good?" Mother Zhou asked with concern.

The boss Zhou Yong said happily: "Except for lethargy, it's good to have a brother-in-law to take care of everything."

"Drowsiness?" Father Zhou asked worriedly, "Have you asked the doctor to see it?"

"I see." The second child, Zhou Shan, explained with a smile, "The doctor said that my brother is in good health, and lethargy is normal."

Zhou's mother was still worried, and she muttered: "Yuan Yuan is pregnant with the first child, and his health will be worse in winter. Pregnancy in the first three months is the most uncomfortable. How can I not worry about it. Besides lethargy, does Yuan Yuan have any other symptoms?" Where is it uncomfortable? The son-in-law is busy with the workshop, so he can take care of Yuan Yuan?"

The third child, Zhou Zheng, came back to say hello to Zhou's father and Zhou mother, and walked up to Zhou Wang, who was nearly three months pregnant, and asked her about her health. How doting, my brother-in-law didn’t go to the workshop in order to take care of Yuanyuan, and the workshop was handled at home, taking care of Yuanyuan at home every day.”

"Oh, what a rare son-in-law here!"

After hearing this, Zhou's father and Zhou's mother showed a satisfied smile.

"Parents, don't worry about it now." Zhou Yong said with a smile.

"Your child, Yuan Yuan is just pregnant, ten months pregnant, so how can you rest assured?" Mother Zhou felt relieved now, "It just so happens that the third daughter-in-law is pregnant, and Yuan Yuan has another good news. After a good meal, let’s celebrate, boss, go to the entrance of the village and cut two catties of meat, and second brother, go to the yard to catch a chicken, and kill the chicken tonight.”

The three brothers of the Zhou family work as peddlers in a grocery store, and their monthly income is enough to allow the Zhou family to live a good life. The family eats meat and white rice every now and then.

Zhou's mother still raises a lot of chickens at home. If it weren't for the fact that there is no extra space in the house, she would like to catch a pig to raise.

The family has a large population, and the children are still young. The family will not be able to live in a few years. The sons are all working in the suburbs of the county. Zhou's father and Zhou's mother are considering buying land and building a house in the suburbs of the county.

That's what they planned, and they haven't discussed it with their three sons yet. The third daughter-in-law is pregnant, so it's a good time to talk about it now.

It was just right for the family to move to the suburbs of the county after the third daughter-in-law gave birth.

Zhou Yong and Zhou Shan responded, "Got it, mother."

"Yuan Yuan is still sleepy while pregnant, so I need to make up for it." Zhou's mother thought for a while, and explained: "Boss, you go to work tomorrow, grab two chickens from home, and there are eggs in the kitchen cabinet, you give Yuan Yuan Take it with you."

Not by my side, I can't help worrying about my brother's food and accommodation.

With a single sentence, Zhou's mother sent the chickens that the family had bothered to raise to her married brother. If she did this, the family would have quarreled in the past.

The life of the Zhou family is good, and it is not possible to eat meat for every meal. I have saved a lot of silver taels, and I am considering leaving them for the children to go to school, and I also have to consider the family property, which requires silver taels everywhere.

Since the elder sister-in-law Zhou Li was abused by her natal family, she has no idea that she can return to the Zhou family and have enough food. She has broken ties with the Li family, and she only has the Zhou family. Zhou Yuan was pregnant, it was rare for her to be truly happy for Zhou Yuan.

The second sister-in-law Zhou Yangshi was slightly dissatisfied but dared not say anything. She saw the miserable situation of her eldest sister-in-law Zhou Lishi after she returned to her natal family, and thought of her family's character. If it's really like my sister-in-law Zhou Lishi, I'm afraid it will be even worse.

The days of the Zhou family are getting better and better, how can they let the good times go, and choose to make trouble.

Both sister-in-law Zhou Li and second sister-in-law Zhou Yang have no objection.

Only the third sister-in-law Zhou Wang.

"Mother, Yuan Yuan is pregnant with a child, so it's time to make up for it. I remember there are still twenty eggs at home, and I sent them to Yuan Yuan."

The third sister-in-law, Mrs. Zhou Wang, was sitting on a chair with a smile on her face, she spoke gracefully, and she couldn't suppress the jealousy and resentment in her heart.

When the three brothers of the Zhou family came back to announce the good news, she was jealous and thought angrily, why Zhou Yuan was so lucky as a brother, married a poor man, and soon became rich, and now she is pregnant again. pregnant.

Zhou Yuan was pregnant with a child, and her mother-in-law gave him the chickens raised at home to nourish his body. She was pregnant with a child, why didn't she say that she would save it for her body, the whole family would eat what she had.

Zhou's father stopped Zhou's mother with a loud voice, "You have a son-in-law by Yuan Yuan's side, and you are afraid that Yuan Yuan will lack food. It is our parents' wish to let the boss catch two chickens and send them over. The eggs are reserved for the third daughter-in-law and his wife." The children eat."

Zhou's father is a sensible person, what he said is fair, sending two chickens to his brother is out of his heart, not to supplement his brother, but also to remind Zhou's mother not to be too happy and neglect the feelings of some people in the family.

How could Zhou's mother not understand, the family is rare to live in harmony, it would be bad if she would be dissatisfied with sending more daughters-in-law, so she agreed with Zhou's father.

"I'm so happy and confused, my son-in-law's family will not be short of eggs, boss, you just listen to your father." Zhou's mother said: "If we are not busy with farm work, your father and I will go to see Yuanyuan in person."

After the rice seedlings in the paddy fields of the Zhou family were planted, the three brothers of the Zhou family would take turns to go home to help on vacation. Other farm work in the field fell to Zhou's father and mother Zhou when the three brothers of the Zhou family were not at home.

"Okay, I'll send it to Yuan Yuan tomorrow." As the eldest son of the family, Zhou Yong learned a lot after working in a grocery store. As a peddler, he dealt with all kinds of people. Following Zhou's mother's joke: "Father and mother, you don't know. After Yuan Yuan became pregnant, my second brother and third brother and I went to my brother-in-law's house. It would be good if my brother-in-law prepared food for Yuan Yuan. Chicken soup with bird's nest made of fish glue And all kinds of food, and stewed soup every day, if the doctor said that he can't eat ginseng often, he would look at his brother-in-law's expression, and he would wish to stew ginseng for Yuan Yuan every day to nourish his body."

Both Zhou's father and Zhou's mother knew the price of isinglass, and my brother even gave them some to make up for them.

Later, knowing how expensive it was, Zhou's father and Zhou's mother were unwilling to ask for it anymore.

Hearing that brother was taken care of so well, Zhou's father and Zhou's mother couldn't help but smile from ear to ear.

Second sister-in-law Zhou Yang secretly envied her.

The smile on the third sister-in-law Zhou Wang's face froze for a moment. After she became pregnant, the head of the house bought her high-quality brown sugar and red dates, and also bought nuts for her as a snack, and eggs every day to nourish her body. She was so happy at that time up.

At that time, she still thought it was a great blessing for her to live a good life in Zhou's family and be pregnant with a child. Now, compared with Zhou Yuanyi, whom she disliked, she was not happy, but extremely jealous.

Zhou Wang even thought that she must be pregnant with a boy from the Zhou family, and she should be taken seriously, and she was finally able to straighten her back and gain status in the Zhou family.

Moreover, she thinks that both the elder sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law are inferior to her. The one who doesn't have any say or status in the Zhou family, who encourages her to listen to her in a few words, also believes that she is going to give birth to a boy. The mother-in-law can't just hand it over to her.

However, now she will bear it, and she still wants to please Zhou Yuan. When her son grows up, her son will definitely be able to be admitted to a scholar and become an official. Her rich life is in the future.

The third sister-in-law, Zhou Wang, has been caught in her own emotions since she was pregnant with her child.

Unbeknownst to the Zhou family, Wei Cheng became an official businessman, and the three brothers of the Zhou family did not know that they worked in a grocery store. Wei Cheng did not disclose that he became an official businessman.

If the third sister-in-law Zhou Wang knew about it, she didn't know what she would think.

Zhou Wang didn't know yet, she went back to the house, called her daughter, and taught the girl, telling her that her uncle should be well-behaved and sweet-mouthed, and that Zhou Yuan would help her find a rich family to marry in the future. young lady.

The girl is ignorant.

From this day on, Mrs. Zhou continued to instill thoughts in her daughter. A simple and innocent little girl, her thoughts gradually changed under Mrs. Zhou's secret teaching.

—

Early the next morning.

Wei Cheng took over the two fat chickens raised by his brother-in-law, and stared blankly at the clucking and screaming hen in his hand.

Did the father-in-law and mother-in-law think that he was short of food for his daughter-in-law so he sent two chickens?

Forget it, this is all the wish of the father-in-law and mother-in-law.

Wei Cheng handed the chicken to the servant, and then asked: "Uncle, did father-in-law and mother-in-law say they want to come and see Yuanyuan?"

Zhou Yong said: "Father and mother want to come. Now it's time to do farm work, and we are not at home. The third sibling is pregnant. I will come to see Yuanyuan after a while."

Knowing the situation of Zhou's family, Wei Cheng didn't say much, and greeted politely: "It's time for breakfast, brother-in-law, stay for some food?"

"I'm not going to eat anymore, I'm going back to work at the grocery store." Zhou Yong politely rejected Wei Cheng, and then left.

Wei Cheng sent the talent away and went back to the bedroom.

Zhou Yuan was still soundly asleep.

Wei Cheng sat on the side of the bed, staring straight at the sweet sleeping daughter-in-law with black eyes, he couldn't bear to wake him up, stared at him for a long time, and then he decided to dig his daughter-in-law up from the bed.

"Yuan Yuan, it's time for breakfast."

Zhou Yuan groaned, "Well...don't eat..." After groaning, he fell asleep again.

Since becoming pregnant, Zhou Yuan has not been able to get up in the morning.

The daughter-in-law hummed softly, Wei Cheng's heart softened, and he couldn't bear to wake him up.

For the sake of his daughter-in-law's health, Wei Cheng didn't disturb others, leaned down and kissed his forehead lightly, and then used the gesture of possessing himself, slapped him horizontally, and picked him up from the bed.

If it is not noisy, let people eat breakfast before going to bed.

Wei Cheng hugged Zhou Yuan and sat on the sofa in the bedroom. There was prepared facial cleanser on the coffee table next to him, and he leaned against his chest before twisting the facial towel to wash his wife's face.

Wei Cheng has made many portraits, and the movements are very skillful.

The water was warm, and when Wei Cheng gently wiped someone's face with a washcloth, Zhou Yuan opened his eyes in a daze, took a look, and knocked his eyelids down again.

Wei Cheng noticed the movement of the person in his arms, put the washcloth back into the basin, looked at the person in his arms with deep eyes, and said softly, "Wake up."

Leaning in Wei Cheng's arms, Zhou Yuan didn't reply, his eyes were still closed as if he hadn't woken up, Wei Cheng chuckled lightly, he knew his wife was awake.

Zhou Yuan woke up, his eyelids were so tired that he couldn't open them, his whole body was limp and he didn't have any strength, and he didn't want to talk.

Wei Cheng picked him up firmly, walked outside, and walked to the living room, where Xiao Liu was waiting. There was a rich breakfast on the table in the living room, and the boiled soft glutinous bird's nest porridge gave off a sweet smell.

Smelling the fragrance, he was already hungry after a night of digestion and felt even hungrier. No matter how tired Zhou Yuan was, he was still attracted by the fragrance, and his tiredness was swept away a bit.

He opened his eyes, and found himself sitting in his husband's arms, opposite Xiao Liu was serving porridge, his face blushed instantly, and he whispered: "Why did you carry me out again, let me down."

Wei Cheng put the person on the chair before letting go, then sat next to him, and said with a light smile, "It's not like Xiao Liu has never seen him before, why is she still shy."

Xiao Liu next to him lowered his head and smiled secretly.

"...."

Zhou Yuan gave him an annoyed look.

Wei Cheng took the bird's nest porridge that Xiao Liu handed over, asked Xiao Liu to back down, and then tested the temperature, which was just right before placing it in front of Zhou Yuan, and said with a smile: "I see that you sleep soundly, and you can't wake up when you shout, so I have no choice but to Hold you out. Besides, are you still not used to it after holding you so many times? "

"No." Zhou Yuan emphasized while sipping porridge. It was the first time he was carried out to eat breakfast in front of his servants. He was so ashamed that he would bury himself in the ground. "You can yell a few more times, I will definitely wake up. Come." Being carried around in front of others, he was not as thick-skinned as his husband.

"What if you can't get up? Can you hug me?"

Zhou Yuan glared at people again, and stopped drinking the porridge.

The daughter-in-law stares at others and refuses to eat breakfast, Wei Cheng surrenders, and cannot starve the daughter-in-law and the baby, "Okay, I won't carry you out next time, I will hold you in our bedroom, eat breakfast quickly, aren't you hungry!"

Zhou Yuan: "......"

His face was flushed, no matter how tired he was, it was swept away.

Wei Cheng is not funny, talking about what happened in the morning, "My uncle sent two chickens this morning, and said that his father-in-law asked him to bring them over to make up for you."

"Brother sent two chickens over?!"

Zhou Yuan was taken aback for a moment, then smiled, "Did my parents send them here, and the sisters-in-law didn't say anything?"

"Uncle didn't say anything." Wei Cheng said, "Besides, what can we say, the wishes of the father-in-law and mother-in-law, so what if they have opinions, we still can't accept the wishes of the father-in-law and mother-in-law."

Regarding the three sister-in-laws of the daughter-in-law's family, Wei Cheng didn't care about their opinions.

In fact, based on his affection for his wife, he would love the Zhou family as much as possible. If it weren't for his wife's three sister-in-laws, he would definitely give the Zhou family a lot of things. With these three sister-in-laws, he treats the Zhou family and the Wei family equally , not too much subsidy, anyway, the three brothers-in-law will make money.

Even his daughter-in-law's third sister-in-law was pregnant, and he didn't send anything except a congratulatory gift according to the etiquette on the day when the news of the pregnancy was announced.

His daughter-in-law will not feel that he is not good to her natal family and have any objections, and there is no such thing as her husband's family always subsidizing her natal family in her conception.

Wei Cheng's guilty conscience towards his wife is gone.

"It's true, this is the wish of parents." Zhou Yuan accepted it with peace of mind.

After breakfast.

Zhou Yuan lost his sleepiness, and Wei Cheng accompanied others to digest food in the backyard. The backyard of the house is not big, and it didn't take long to finish wandering around. Wei Cheng thought, the backyard of the house is still too small.

Fortunately, the mansion he ordered to buy in Fucheng was quite big.

After walking around a few times, Wei Cheng helped his daughter-in-law to sit on the stone chair in the yard.

Zhou Yuan let Wei Cheng support him, feeling very sweet in his heart.

He's not that delicate, but his husband's thoughtfulness makes him like that, and he has protested a few times, his husband treats him as a fragile ceramic and always protects it carefully, and he just let it go.

Helping his daughter-in-law to sit down, Wei Cheng gently stroked his daughter-in-law's belly with his palm. The belly was not showing, and he had to touch it every day, "Yuanyuan, do you think the little guy in the belly is as well-behaved as you ?”

brothers? !

Zhou Yuan was stunned

He didn't ask his husband whether he likes a boy or a brother. He actually hoped to give birth to a boy so that his husband would have offspring.

Although, no matter the boy or brother, he would like the child of him and her husband.

He was afraid that the husband would want a boy....... After a while he came back to his senses and asked softly, "Why does the husband think it's a boy?"

"I like a brother who is like you." Wei Cheng knew that it was not easy for a brother to conceive, and some brothers could only conceive once in a lifetime. Compared with a boy, Wei Cheng preferred a brother who was like his wife, looking expectantly. : "Our little brother must be very cute." Therefore, he hoped that his wife would conceive a brother.

Seeing the seriousness in Wei Cheng's eyes, he really likes the little brother and doesn't care whether it's a boy or a brother. Zhou Yuan's heart was deeply touched, and he felt a lump in his throat. In order to cover up his gaffe, he laughed deliberately, " Shouldn't my husband like boys more?" The voice was full of joy and choked with emotion.

Wei Cheng didn't notice Zhou Yuan's strangeness, and frowned, "This... I like everything born by Yuan Yuan, boy... Anyway, it doesn't make you feel uncomfortable that the baby is so cute, only the little brother You are so well-behaved, you must be the little brother."

Wei Cheng's fallacy, he believed that generally pregnant people would vomit, feeling uncomfortable and unable to eat.

His daughter-in-law eats delicious food and drinks, but she is lethargic. She is not at all uncomfortable. She must be carrying a well-behaved child in her belly, and the little brother must be well-behaved.

Zhou Yuan was amused by his husband's reluctance to say that he was a boy.

After this day.

From time to time, Wei Cheng would say to Zhou Yuan that my little brother must be good, and call him little brother to the little bean sprouts in his stomach.

At first, the servants in the family stared wide-eyed as if the master's head was broken, so why did they hope that the master was pregnant with his brother.

Uncle Mao and Aunt Mao smiled lovingly. They respected Wei Cheng and his wife as their masters and treated them like family members. In their eyes, they liked whether the master gave birth to the young master, whether it was the young master or the elder brother.

Wei Hu was amazed, the master can talk about a brother like this? However, Wei Hu is a big bastard, and he really likes the little brother.

Wei Lei and the third uncle of the Wei family found it incredible that Wei Cheng was looking forward to having a brother.

However, after Wei Lei thought about it carefully, if he married Nian Luo, he would like it regardless of whether his family had a boy or a brother. If there was a little brother like Nian Luo, it would be very cute. , Thinking about it, I understand my friend's nagging.

Wei Cheng doesn't care what other people think, thinking of having a little brother who looks like a daughter-in-law, his heart feels soft for a while.
