Chapter 1205: Good at raising children, sisters quarrel
In the tomato area of the farm, Zhou Chen squatted in front of the bell and pointed at the tomatoes on the ground.
"Ling Ding, you must recognize this as a tomato, right? Do you know how many colors a ripe tomato has?"
Cui Lingdang looked confused: "Aren't tomatoes just red?"
Zhou Chen smiled and said: "Not necessarily. Common tomatoes are red. That's true, but tomatoes also come in other colors, such as pink tomatoes and yellow tomatoes. Tomatoes of different colors have different nutritional contents and ripening times.
different…………"
He popularized these simple knowledge to Cui Lingdang. Cui Lingdang probably had never heard of this before, so he listened very carefully.
Xu Hongmi saw that her daughter and Zhou Chen were getting along very well, and she felt emotional.
"This Zhou Chen, if he becomes a father in the future, he should be a very patient and good father. He will definitely be better than your brother-in-law."
"By the way, how much do you know about his situation since you fell in love with him? I didn't think you knew much about his company before? Didn't he tell you?"
Xu Hongdou said: "He told me about his company, but I didn't pay much attention to it before. Besides, we are just in love, and we haven't talked about marriage yet, so why ask so much?"
Xu Hongmi said, "You, if you just find someone from an ordinary family, I wouldn't worry so much, but Zhou Chen obviously has an extraordinary family. If you want to fall in love with someone, why don't you?"
If you want to consider getting married in the future, you must know more about other people's situations. Can you be more attentive?"
Xu Hongdou said angrily: "Why don't I take it seriously? Who said I don't understand his situation? Sister, he is not as complicated as you think. He is from Shanghai, but his parents are gone. He used to be a programmer."
, later he went into business on his own, and he relied on his own ability to achieve where he is now.'
"He started from scratch? Amazing, amazing. Although I could tell at a glance that he was not simple, I didn't expect that he actually started from scratch."
Xu Hongmi was very surprised. She thought that Zhou Chen's current achievements were due to his family connections. After all, Zhou Chen was only in his early thirties, but he had a net worth of at least hundreds of millions. Most people who started from scratch would not be able to reach his level.
But she frowned slightly and said: "I heard what he meant is that he wants to marry you. Do you remember what I told you before? You can't fall in love in a long-distance relationship. Long-distance relationships will never have good results, so I think
Ah, it just so happens that you resigned. If you want to find another job, just go to Shanghai. This way you don't have to be in a long-distance relationship. Moreover, when you go to Shanghai, our sisters will be able to take care of you, and Lingdang can see her aunt at any time in the future.
"
"Going to the Magic City?"
Xu Hongdou looked hesitant. She really hadn't considered this yet.
Xu Hongmi was surprised and said: "Don't tell me that you didn't think about this and only thought about falling in love with him? Xu Hongdou, Xu Hongdou, what do you want me to say about you? You are no longer a little girl in your early twenties.
Now, you are already in your thirties, so when you fall in love now, you should be rushing to get married..."
Xu Hongdou interrupted impatiently: "Okay, I understand, can you please stop talking? Who said I haven't considered long-distance relationships? I talked about it with Zhou Chen, okay, he
He will go wherever I go, and if I want to stay in the capital, he is willing to accompany me there, and he can also move the company to the capital."
"Ouch!"
Xu Hongdou exclaimed, extremely shocked.
"He actually said that? I thought you were the only one with a love brain. Now it seems that he is also a love brain. That's not right. It stands to reason that he can do such a good job in his career. He must be good in all aspects. It shouldn't be
You're just a love brain. Is it really because you are too charming? It's impossible. I've known you for more than thirty years, how can you be so charming?"
"It's true, it seems you two are both love-minded."
Not to be outdone, Xu Hongdou said: "Why am I not attractive anymore? I am very attractive, okay? Also, what happened to the love brain? Is the love brain eating your rice?"
"Hey, you dare to talk back, it's a disgrace to you."
Saying that, Xu Hongmi suddenly put her arms around Xu Hongdou's neck and controlled her fiercely.
"I'll let you talk back, I'll let you talk back..."
"Xu Hongmi, ah, I will fight with you..."
The screams of the two sisters attracted the attention of Zhou Chen and Cui Lingdang, who giggled.
"Uncle, my mother and aunt were fighting."
"Don't worry, let them make trouble, let's play with us."
Zhou Chen just glanced at it and continued talking to Cui Lingdang. Cui Lingdang also smiled and replied: "Okay."
After playing for a long time, Cui Lingdang didn't feel tired and was still very happy to pester Zhou Chen.
Zhou Chen also likes this child very much. He is smart, obedient, and the most important thing is that he is very beautiful. Such a beautiful girl is definitely the easiest to please.
Xu Hongdou came over with washed cucumbers.
"Ling Ding, you are tired. Come and eat a cucumber."
"Okay, auntie."
Cui Lingdang took the cucumber and took a bite, feeling very happy.
Xu Hongdou also brought a cucumber to Zhou Chen, and Zhou Chen also took it smoothly.
"Where's your sister?"
"Nuo, she's busy over there. Look at her, she looks like a fool." Xu Hongdou pointed to a person not far away who was wearing headphones and dancing and talking, with a depressed look on his face.
Zhou Chen bit the cucumber: "Oh, I'm busy with work. It's really hard for your sister. She takes her children out to play and doesn't have time to spare."
Xu Hongdou complained: "I really don't know what she is here for?"
Zhou Chen said: "No need to ask, I must be worried about you. Come and see you."
Xu Hongdou snorted softly: "You don't understand her. She didn't come here because she didn't trust me. She came here just to educate me."
Zhou Chen smiled and said: "Sure enough, only sisters would say that."
Xu Hongdou said: "Let me tell you, we grew up together, and I am the person who knows Xu Hongmi's true face best. She has been walking like a tiger since she was a child, without looking back, and then I
I trotted after her all the way, but I couldn't keep up, and she even said I was slow."
Zhou Chen said: "Maybe you don't realize it, but it is precisely because of this that your relationship is deeper. Only with biological sisters, if she bullies you and educates you, you will not be really angry; if you blame her and say bad things about her, she will
I won’t be really angry, the most I will do is beat you up.”
"Yes, yes, you are absolutely right. That's how she is. She likes to do things. I was bullied by her a lot when I was a child."
Xu Hongdou nodded repeatedly. The sisters always talked tit-for-tat and even got physical a lot, but to be honest, they rarely fell out. Even if they did, they would get back on good terms within a few minutes.
"Aunt, uncle, dog, dog."
Suddenly, Cui Lingdang pointed at a spotted dog wandering over and shouted in surprise.
Zhou Chen and Xu Hongdou looked at it and saw that it was a Dalmatian dog. It also looked at Zhou Chen and the others curiously. This was the farm owner's dog, named Pitaya.
Zhou Chen teased it for a while and found that the dragon fruit was relatively docile and did not reject them at all. Xu Hongdou touched it and was very obedient.
"Lingdang, come here, let's play with it." Xu Hongdou greeted Lingdou.
Ling Dang leaned over with a happy face, but when Xu Hongmi heard the sound, she turned back suddenly and ran over, shouting: "No, you can't touch it. If you are caught or bitten by a dog, you will need an injection."
, you don’t want to fight, do you? And this dog has not been dewormed, the flora of humans and dogs are different, okay?”
Cui Lingdang looked unhappy. She couldn't play with dogs when she was at home, so when she went out to play, she still wanted to get close to dogs.
Xu Hongdou saw her niece looking unhappy and walked over.
"Lingdang, let's ignore mom, this old witch. My aunt will take you to play with the dog. Come on, play."
Xu Hongmi looked at Xu Hongdou very dissatisfied, but this time she didn't stop him, she just looked at him with worry on her face.
Seeing this, Zhou Chen persuaded: "Sister Hongmi, I know you are worried, but children are sometimes very rebellious. The more you don't let her do anything, the more she wants to do. This dog is quite docile.
Yes, and Hongdou and I are watching, so Lingdang won’t get hurt."
Xu Hongmi said: "You have never been a parent, so you don't understand how I feel as a mother."
Zhou Chen smiled. The number of times he had been a father was not much different from Xu Hongmi's. He knew much better than Xu Hongmi about how to raise children.
Ling Dang's physical fitness is not bad, so he won't get sick after being around dogs for a while.
Seeing her daughter playing happily with the puppy, Xu Hongmi could only suppress her old mother's worries, sighed, gave instructions to Zhou Chen and Xu Hongdou, and then went back to work.
Xu Hongdou handed the phone to Zhou Chen and asked Zhou Chen to help take pictures of her and Lingdang, and then sent it to the family group.
Lunch was eaten at the farm, with rich vegetables and fresh grilled lamb chops. Not to mention, the quality of the grilled lamb chops at this restaurant is really not bad.
After lunch, Zhou Chen drove Xu Hongmi and her daughter to Xie Zhiyao's racecourse and showed Cui Lingdang the ponies.
Xie Zhiyao had something to do, so Zhou Chen said to Uncle Ze Qing who was looking at the horse farm and entered the stable.
Cui Lingdang was very excited when she saw the pony. Zhou Chen directly lifted her up and put it on his neck, letting her ride him and watch, which made her forget herself with joy.
After a day of getting along, Xu Hongmi discovered that Zhou Chen was really good at taking care of children, and Lingdang was very happy to play with Zhou Chen, so she felt relieved and handed over Lingdang to Zhou Chen and Xu Hongdou.
After a day of fun and dinner together, Zhou Chen and Xu Hongdou sent Xu Hongmi to the door of the B&B in the town.
After getting out of the car, Xu Hongdou complained: "I told you to sleep in the small courtyard with me. I have enough sleep, but you refused."
"hehe."
Xu Hongmi smiled contemptuously: "I'm finally alone, why do I have to squeeze in with you and suffer. Besides, I have work at night."
"Okay, it's great that you have a job, okay, then go back quickly."
"Xu Hongdou, keep an eye on the bell. If she catches the cold, I will skin you."
"If you are worried, then I will keep the bell?"
When Xu Hongmi heard this, she ran away and walked into the door before turning back and waving her hand: "Bye."
"This Xu Hongmi just threw the bell to me on purpose."
Xu Hongdou shook his head, and then got in the car with Zhou Chen and returned to Yunmiao Village.
Back in the courtyard, Zhou Chen took Xu Hongdou and Lingdang to his room to paint pictures and make wood carvings for Lingdang.
In the room of the B&B, Xu Hongmi finished her work, packed herself up, picked up her phone, started a video call with her parents in her hometown, and told her parents everything that happened today, especially about Zhou Chen.
Said in great detail.
"Dad, Mom, Hongdou has really grown up now. He didn't even tell us about the person he was talking to. If I hadn't come here, I wouldn't even know about it."
Over there, Xu's mother Liu Guiqin asked impatiently: "Mi, I hear what you mean, Dou's partner is pretty good?"
Xu Hongmi said: "Not only is it good, she is quite outstanding. Although Dou is my biological sister, to be fair, Dou is really ahead of her in terms of her conditions."
Father Xu Jianguo was not happy when he heard this.
"Our beans are also very good and grow well, so why are we so popular?"
"Dad, Mom, I know you don't believe what I said. You have also seen Zhou Chen in the video. He is a talented person and has a good appearance. People said that after the lease here ends, he will follow
Let’s go back together to meet you two elders. When you meet him, you will know that he is really outstanding, and I really am not trying to say nice things to him.”
When Liu Guiqin heard that Zhou Chen was coming, her interest immediately increased.
"He's going to come back with Dou. That's great. I want to see how good he is that I can make you praise."
"I want to take a look too. Anyway, I don't think anyone of us is a good match."
"Okay, I won't tell you any more. Anyway, they will go back in a few days. If you have anything you want to ask or want to know, just ask it yourself."
Xu Hongmi chatted with her parents for a long time, hung up the phone and went to bed. She also walked a lot today and was busy with work, so she was still very tired.
When Xu Hongmi saw her daughter again the next day, she saw Ling Dang running over with an item in one hand.
"Mom, mom, look, this is the painting my uncle painted for me, and this wood carving, it's all me, it's all me."
Xu Hongmi looked at the wood carvings and portraits in Lingdang's hands and was very surprised.
The wood carving is about thirty to forty centimeters, and it looks like a bell. It has also been painted with the clothes that the bell was wearing yesterday, and it looks like a miniature version of the bell.
What shocked her even more was the painting, which had been framed and placed in a photo frame. The bells on it were smiling and lifelike, imprinted in the painting like an elf.
She couldn't help but ask Zhou Chen: "Zhou Chen, are you the one who made these paintings and wood carvings?"
Before Zhou Chen could speak, Xu Hongdou said with a proud face: "Of course, Zhou Chen is very good. His painting is no worse than those of the masters. He has only learned wood carving for two or three months, and he can already carve like this."
Well, he did all this last night."
Xu Hongmi glanced at Xu Hongdou: "It's not like you are great, why are you so proud?"
Hearing this, Xu Hongdou felt a tightness in his chest and hummed: "Zhou Chen is my boyfriend, what's wrong with me being so proud?"
