Chapter 156 I Don’t Like Grandma
When Zhou Chunsheng came back from the ancestral hall, he was shocked to hear the old lady say that Luo Zijin had lost her temper with her.
Upstairs, Luo Zijin was hiding in the room with a dejected look on his face, pretending to be calm, and was folding clothes.
During the year that the old lady was in Pingcheng, Luo Zijin also spent a comfortable life in Zhou's family. During this year, she could be at ease, play mahjong when she wanted to, and talk during meals when she wanted to.
But now that the old lady is back, not only has she lost her freedom, but she also has to endure all the bullying.
Zhou Chunsheng stood far away, stared at his wife for a while, then walked to his wife with a serious look.
"Mom said that she was talking to you just now, and you disappeared while we were talking. What happened?"
There were two chairs on the side, and Zhou Chunsheng randomly chose one and sat down.
Luo Zijin remained silent.
After a while, she threw down the clothes in her hands, walked towards Zhou Chunsheng, and sat down on another chair.
She sighed first, then said, "Mom wants me to be a wicked mother-in-law and drive my daughter-in-law away. I won't fall for her trick!"
She really couldn't bear to listen to it just now, so she didn't answer anything and turned around and went upstairs to the room.
Zhou Chunsheng's face showed his emotion when he heard this: "If it happened a few months ago, maybe the old man would have just pushed them from behind and they would have separated. But now, I think the two children have passed that hurdle, and it will be difficult to separate them."
Zhou Chunsheng said: "They are inseparable. I just came back to see them. They were so stupid. They were in the yard with their heads tilted back, their mouths open and their tongues sticking out, trying to catch snow."
As soon as Zhou Chunsheng finished speaking, Luo Zijin immediately walked to the window and looked down.
The two people have stopped eating snow and are taking pictures.
Luo Zijin stood in front of the window, turned his back to Zhou Chunsheng and said, "I won't listen to my mother on this matter. You have to stand on my side."
Zhou Chunsheng responded straightforwardly: "Then you should pretend to obey but secretly disobey."
Luo Zijin sighed. She had never submitted to anyone in her mother's family, and had been a coward in the Zhou family all her life.
Outside the window, Zhou Xixiang also joined in the snow, being used as a tool to take pictures of the Yongan couple.
After taking the photos, Li Qingwen asked Zhou Yongan to take out the gifts from the car.
I gave my eldest brother a fountain pen, my father-in-law a magnetic chess board, and my mother-in-law a cervical massager, because she had used it and it was very comfortable, so I bought the same model. I gave my younger sister a golden whistle, and I gave my grandmother a radio, and I had already asked the store to record some Meng Dadong operas.
After giving away the other gifts, Li Qingwen now only had the last one left, the one for his grandmother.
She didn't have the confidence, so she just gave it to Aunt Lan.
Aunt Lan felt a little guilty, as she was very clear about the old lady's attitude towards her granddaughter-in-law.
But knowing that the old lady really liked listening to opera, she didn't want to refuse, so she accepted it.
"Then I'll play it for the old lady some other day."
Li Qingwen was relieved that Auntie Lan accepted it. She said, "Let's go outside now. I'll teach you how to use it."
So the two of them walked to the farthest part of the yard. In the heavy snow and darkness, Li Qingwen pulled out the radio antenna, pressed a button, and began to look for the recorded operas.
When the music started playing, Aunt Lan's face lit up with joy.
The sound was particularly clear, as if Meng Dadong was standing in front of him and singing.
Auntie Lan expressed her gratitude on behalf of the old lady: "This gift is so good, the old lady will definitely like it!"
Li Qingwen smiled, with a barely perceptible sadness in his smile: "If grandma asks, just say that the second young master bought it for her, don't say it was me."
Aunt Lan stopped smiling and nodded: "Second Madam, I'm sorry for putting you in such a difficult position."
Li Qingwen looked at the radio without any hindrance, and then taught Aunt Lan: "Grandma, if you don't want to listen to music and want to know the real-time news, just click here and search for channels. We can search for many channels here, and you can listen to whatever you want."
Aunt Lan took it and operated it again.
After confirming that they would use it, both of them were covered with thick snow. Aunt Lan reached out and patted the snow off Li Qingwen's body.
Li Qingwen said it was okay, and the two of them walked into the house.
Zhou Yongan, who did not receive any gift, was reluctant to let go of Zhou Ying's gift when he saw it. Zhou Ying lent him two whistles, and the sounds were not particularly sharp, but clear and pleasant.
When Zhou Yongan returned it to Zhou Ying, it had already been washed and he even found a thin thread to string it together.
He put the rope around Zhou Ying's neck and said, "If you find that people are ignoring you, blow a whistle at them."
Zhou Ying nodded obediently.
In fact, she had a whistle around her neck for a while, but as she entered puberty, she found the whistle increasingly annoying, as if it was announcing to everyone that she was mute.
She stopped wearing it after that, and no one asked her to wear it afterwards.
While eating the New Year’s Eve dinner, Zhou Ying gestured and said – home-cooked meals are still delicious, while the ingredients of foreign food are weird and not to her taste.
Although everyone could understand what she said, no one dared to say anything.
Aunt Lan standing by didn't know whether to translate or not.
Zhou Ying continued to gesture - If I go abroad again, I have to bring some ingredients from home and cook by myself. Mom, can you help me prepare a list? I'll go to the supermarket another day.
Luo Zijin pursed her lips and glanced at the old lady.
The old lady really said, "Let's talk about it after dinner. We can't wait until after dinner to talk about anything."
Zhou Ying gestured again, and those who understood fell silent.
Zhou Ying——I don’t like my grandma.
Zhou Yongan smiled and picked up a chicken leg for Zhou Ying. Zhou Ying bent her thumb and smiled at her second brother.
After dinner, the TV in the living room was turned on and the family sat there enjoying traditional programs.
Zhou Yongan bought firecrackers and fireworks at some unknown time and asked Zhou Ying and Li Qingwen to go out and play together.
Zhou Xixiang was forgotten, but he took the initiative to follow them. With his hands in his pockets, he leaned quietly against the door and looked at the three people in the yard, each holding a fairy wand in his hand. The corners of his mouth rose.
After playing for a while, Zhou Yongan found someone standing at the door pretending to be an adult. He took out a bag of firecrackers, and after some conspiracy with Zhou Ying and Li Qingwen, the three of them threw firecrackers at Zhou Xixiang's feet.
Zhou Xixiang didn't know what was going on and had never seen firecrackers thrown. He was startled at first, but then he didn't react and remained calm.
A few people found it boring and started throwing firecrackers at each other.
After playing for a while, they started playing with the fairy wand. Zhou Yongan glanced at the people smoking at the door and said, "Guess what Big Brother is thinking about now?"
Zhou Ying gestured—work?
Li Qingwen nodded in agreement.
Zhou Yongan shook his head and said firmly, "I'm thinking about women. I just heard my eldest brother on the phone, and he said the words 'Miss Xu'."
Zhou Ying - So Miss Xu will be the unlucky one?
Zhou Yongan put one hand in his pocket to keep warm, breathing out hot air: "What a wretch! You should call me sister-in-law."
Zhou Ying curled her lips.
Zhou Yongan said very firmly: "I guess in two days, we will know what my sister-in-law looks like."
