Chapter 347: Show-off
Chapter 347: Show-off
Li Xiuxian hoped that her daughter, Jiang Xia, would spend more time with her and get closer.
Zhou Zhou was always by the side of Lao Si and his wife, and they were very close to her.
Their daughter rarely came back, and among the several nephews and nieces, Lao Si and his wife were the least close to her daughter.
Look at how Zhou Zhou is now dressed up like a little princess by Jiang Xia! She looked more like a city girl than those living in the city.
Moreover, Jiang Xia had taken Guangzong Yaozu and the others to the city and bought them a pile of things.
But Zhou Ying didn't get anything!
This time, as her daughter followed Jiang Xia, Jiang Xia and Zhou Chenglei would surely remember that Yingying was also their niece, right? However, Zhou Ying was unaware of her mother's good intentions. She twisted her body and avoided Li Xiuxian's hand, saying, "No, I'll ride the tractor with my brothers."
After saying this, she ran out.
She had ridden a motorcycle before, but she had only ridden a tractor once and really wanted to ride it again.
Li Xiuxian was helpless; the production team's tractor hauled everything, and it was always dirty!
She was afraid that Zhou Ying and her brothers would play on the tractor and get dirty all over, looking like a country bumpkin! Now that she was returning more often, Zhou Ying was becoming wilder.
Outside, Jiang Xia found Zhou Zhou in the courtyard, distributing candies and sunflower seeds to Zhou Wenzu and his brothers.
The pockets of the children's clothes were stuffed with sunflower seeds, candies, and other snacks, all prepared for the tractor ride.
At this moment, Zhou Ying ran out, and Zhou Wenzong gave her share to her, helping her stuff it into her jacket pocket.
Li Xiuxian followed and saw Zhou Wenzong putting a handful of sunflower seeds into her daughter's pocket, and her expression froze for a moment.
Jiang Xia asked Zhou Zhou, "Zhou Zhou, do you want to ride the motorcycle or the tractor?"
Zhou Wenzu replied, "Auntie, Zhou Zhou and we will ride the tractor. The tractor's cart is fun, and we can't move on the motorcycle. We've prepared snacks to eat on the tractor."
Zhou Zhou also said, "I'll ride the tractor with my brothers."
"Okay, but don't play on the tractor; you might fall off!"
Zhou Wenzu said, "We know, we're not fools!"
Jiang Xia didn't know whether to be angry or laugh after hearing this.
However, for the children, riding the tractor was indeed more fun, so Jiang Xia let them be.
Jiang Xia spoke to Zhou Mu, "Mom, Zhou Zhou will accompany you on the tractor. Please keep an eye on the kids so they don't fall off."
Children were mischievous, and she was afraid they would get too excited and accidentally fall from the tractor's cart.
"Okay, don't worry, I'll watch them," Zhou Mu assured.
Zhou Father straightened his clothes, looking energetic and spirited, and said, "Are you ready? Let's go; it's almost seven o'clock, and the production team's tractor won't wait."
So the family, dressed in their new clothes, headed for the production team, looking even more splendid than going to a wedding banquet.
Jiang Xia and Zhou Chenglei, who were riding the motorcycle, walked at the back and closed the door.
Jiang Xia left a set of house keys for Granny, asking her to help look after the house.
The family arrived at the production team, and Zhou Bingqiang's family was already at the tractor.
Not all of Zhou Bingqiang's family had come; he had only brought a few daughters-in-law, grandchildren, and Zhou Guohua and Wen Wan's couple.
The other sons had gone out to sea to make money.
Zhou Father greeted Zhou Bingqiang with a smile, "You're here so early? Sorry, have you been waiting long? It's all because these kids want to wear one set of clothes one moment and another set the next. They want to wear all the new clothes and have been fussing around for half the day."
Zhou Bingqiang's mouth twitched, "I think it's you who changed several sets of clothes, taking half a day, right?"
Zhou Father chuckled and said, "You're right, I've changed into several sets too. I had no choice; Chenglei's wife bought me seven or eight new sets of clothes, and each one looks so good that I didn't know which to wear. So, I tried them all on. In the end, Chenglei's wife suggested that since it's cold today, we might as well all wear down jackets, so we won't be cold even on the tractor. I have to say, these down jackets are really warm! I'm sweating!"
Once again, Zhou Father's words left Zhou Bingqiang speechless.
He, too, had gotten up early and rummaged through all the clothes in the cabinet, trying on several sets before finding one that looked relatively new.
If only he had bought a new set of clothes, he wouldn't have to see Zhou Yongfu's smug face!
Zhou Father and his son carried their grandchildren onto the tractor.
Zhou Mother stood by, reminding them, "Be careful, don't get your clothes dirty. They're new, don't ruin them on the first day, or the photos won't look good later!"
When Zhou Bingqiang's wife saw that the entire tractor was filled with Zhou's family, and Zhou Father was subtly showing off, she couldn't help but mutter, "It's just a small commendation ceremony, do you all need to make such a big fuss? Don't you worry about being criticized for lacking experience?"
Zhou Father laughed and said, "We're not afraid of such experiences. We wish we could attend every millionaire commendation ceremony in every city! But sister-in-law, you misunderstood this time!"
"Today, our family isn't all going to the commendation ceremony. Ah Sen is going to book a boat."
Zhou Bingqiang: "..."
Another new boat?
Are they trying to make it impossible for others to live?
Zhou Father continued, "After booking the boat, they'll follow Ah Lei to book leather sofas. Ah Lei's house is almost finished, right? Xia wants to buy a sofa, and the second and first daughter-in-law also want to change the sofa in their homes, so they made plans to go together."
"By the way, Guohua, your house is also built. Have you bought furniture? Do you want to follow Ah Lei to look at sofas? Xia said that buying five sets or more would be cheaper. My three-story house will have one set on each floor, and the first and second sons will also buy one set, making it exactly five. We can get them at the factory price. If you want to buy, you can join us, otherwise, you'll miss this opportunity!"
Zhou Guohua: "No need, I've already bought some."
Previously, on the market day, he and Wen Wan had gone to the town's timber shop and ordered furniture for the entire house.
There were no leather sofas in town, and although the solid wood sofa he bought was made of the most ordinary cedar, it still cost over a thousand yuan when adding the wardrobe, bed, dining table, and tea table.
Not everyone who builds a new house can afford to furnish it entirely with new furniture.
Wen Wan was initially satisfied, but now she felt a bit annoyed.
The tractor swayed, and Wen Wan felt extremely uncomfortable, which only added to her annoyance.
The feel of a genuine leather sofa and a wooden sofa was completely different!
If it weren't for Jiang Xia causing her to sprain her ankle, she could have afforded a real leather sofa too.
Wen Wan was so angry that she decided to take out her foreign language book to study.
Now that she was pregnant, she had applied for a leave of absence and was studying at home, preparing for next year's National College Entrance Examination, while also earning some translation money and improving her foreign language skills.
She didn't need to prepare much for next year's exam, as she had already revised all the books. The most important thing was to enhance her foreign language skills.
By next spring's Canton Fair, she would also earn several hundred thousand.
If Jiang Xia could do it, she believed she could too.
Clearly, in her past life, she was more capable than Jiang Xia!
