Sure enough, just as Zhang Chunnuan asked his mistress and Wang Xinyu to serve the meal, Father Shen's call came from outside the courtyard door.

Seeing that everyone else was busy, Mr. Zhou also thought about meeting this "in-law", so he stretched out his Chinese tunic suit that was a little wrinkled after playing with the twins, walked over in all directions with his hands behind his back.

The moment he opened the courtyard door, an extremely kind smile appeared on his face.

"You must be Chun Nuan's father-in-law. I am Zhou Haoran's grandfather."

Father Shen stood outside the courtyard gate with two carefully selected bamboos on his shoulders, raising one foot and supporting his body's center of gravity with the other, with a confused look on his face.

The bamboo forest in the village happened to be close to his home, so he didn't need to pass through the village when he came back, and naturally he didn't know about the big noise made by Mr. Zhou.

He had just returned home now, no, it should be said that he had just arrived at the door. Such a big "surprise" came to him, which he really couldn't accept.

Shen August poked his head out of the courtyard door. Seeing his grandfather's strange appearance, he asked curiously: "Grandpa, why don't you come in?"

Hearing what his little granddaughter said, Father Shen woke up with a start. As he walked into the courtyard, he changed his expression: "It turns out to be Uncle Zhou!"

Looking at Mr. Zhou, who looked younger than himself, Mr. Shen almost bit his tongue when he shouted "uncle".

The two elders chatted awkwardly for a while, and when they sat down at the dinner table, they knew how old they were.

After a random calculation of the actual age in the two places, one in the south and one in the north, Mr. Zhou is more than two years older than Mr. Shen, but less than three years old.

After all, in the former case, the warlord married a foreign daughter-in-law when she was less than twenty years old. He became a father in his early twenties and a grandfather in his forties. His eldest grandson is 25 this year.

The latter, who had been a bachelor all his life, adopted Shen Hu when he was 35 or 36. His adopted son Shen Hu was less than 25 years old when he died.

Anyway, Zhang Chunnuan didn't understand the reign name of the Manchu emperor they mentioned. She only knew that her future grandfather was two years older than her father-in-law, but one generation behind him.

While eating rice, I felt sorry for my father-in-law.

Before she could feel aggrieved for Father Shen for a long time, after drinking two glasses of wine, the two old men began to get better.

You give me a piece of cured fish, I'll give you a couple of small green vegetables, and just like that, the marriage between Zhang Chunnuan and Zhou Haoran was finalized at the dinner table.

At the same dining table, the four little ones who finally ate rice didn't even notice what the adults at the table were saying. They were all holding bowls and stuffing things into their mouths without raising their heads.

Originally, the child was very greedy and strong when he was young, but two months ago, under the control of Zhang Chunnuan, the family began to keep a low profile.

Still want to eat rice three times a day? Don’t even think about it!

It would be great if you can do two out of three meals!

There's nothing delicious, but it's fine as long as you're not hungry.

Shen Qiqi and Shen August had never had such a hard life since landing. They persisted for two days, but they couldn't hold on any longer. With tears in their eyes, they went on a hunger strike to eat well!

Zhang Chunnuan scolded and hit her, and she tortured herself until she lost her temper.

Fortunately, a year later, the more mature and sensible mistress came to persuade her, and the two mistresses were finally persuaded.

The topic has gone too far.

After lunch, Father Shen was so drunk that he could only lie down. On the contrary, Mr. Zhou, who was still drunk and blurry in his eyes at the dinner table, looked refreshed after the meal.

Zhou Haoran was worried about his grandfather's health, so he went over to ask with concern, only to receive a blank look from the old man.

"Stop looking down on me! If it weren't for me, would you still want to marry me? Go ahead and marry Donkey Daner!"

After Zhang Chunnuan washed the dishes and chopsticks, he looked at the time and said, "Hey guys, I want to squint for a while, but I'm afraid I can't."

So she could only take advantage of Mr. Zhou's grandfather and grandson's conversation to call the twins over and whisper:

"Mom has to go to work later, and your brothers and sisters have to go to school. There are only two of you little masters at home. You must greet your great-grandpa well, do you hear me?"

A three- or four-year-old baby in the countryside can carry his sister on his back to dig wild vegetables. Although his twins are a little pampered, they should be able to entertain guests at home... maybe... probably, that's okay, right?

Zhang Chunnuan felt a little hesitant, but now that she was the only one earning serious work points in the family, she couldn't take leave every now and then.

Shen August tilted his head and asked, "Mom, what's the best way to say hello?"

"You two have made great grandpa happy, so you just say hello."

This should be fine, right?

Zhang Chunnuan looked at the two little ones and nodded in agreement, touched their little heads, shouldered the hoe, said hello to Mr. Zhou, and went out to work.

Walking with her was Zhou Haoran, who was kicked by Mr. Zhou.

After the two left, an old man and a young boy played in the yard.

After a while, the courtyard door was knocked.

The three of them opened the courtyard door and saw that it was Zhou Lixue leading Tan's father and guard Xiao Lin.

Mr. Zhou asked: "Send them away?"

Dad Tan: "Yes, Uncle Zhou..."

"Report to the chief!"

"Stop, stop, stop!" Mr. Zhou waved his hands repeatedly, interrupting the guard Xiao Lin, "From now on, in the village, no matter how long the leader is, you can just call me Uncle Zhou!"

Xiao Lin looked at Mr. Zhou and then at Dad Tan. After mumbling for a long time, he scratched his head and asked embarrassedly, "How about I call you Mr. Zhou?"

He joined the army later than Zhou Haoran and was a few years younger. Calling Mr. Zhou his uncle would mess up the hierarchy.

Mr. Zhou waved his hands indifferently, looked at Zhou Lixue, and asked with a smile: "You are the production team leader of Shanjiao Village, right? Our visit this time has really caused you trouble."

"No, no." Zhou Lixue wiped his sweat. How should he answer this?

He thought about it for a while and said: "To be honest with the old general, Zhou Haoran, an educated youth, is a good comrade. He has helped us a lot since he joined the team..."

It would be wrong to say anything else, but it would never go wrong to praise someone, but I didn't want to be interrupted anyway.

"As a grandfather, I know the virtues of that brat Zhou Haoran best! He must have caused you a lot of trouble!"

"No, really not! If the old general doesn't believe it, you can ask other members in the village, I..."

"Captain Zhou, it's like this," Mr. Zhou rubbed his hands with an embarrassed but somewhat proud smile on his face:

"I and Brother Shen have just arranged the marriage of my brat and Chun Nuan girl. We are new here and we are not very familiar with the area...

See if you can arrange for someone to take a few of us to the county town to have a look. Although the current conditions do not allow for big things, the village takes great care of my eldest grandson, daughter-in-law and family.

Let’s not mess around, just set up a few tables in the village and treat everyone to a wedding drink!”

Zhou Lixue was stunned for a moment, and after understanding what Mr. Zhou said, he began to complain in his heart.

Just now, the leaders and cadres were sent away with their cars in such a good manner after a meal, and now the ox carts and cart drivers from the village are being added.
