BTTS 361

 Chapter 361. Obsequious

Zhou Kai came to his grandparent's place for dinner in the evening.

He promised his grandmother that he'll come over to have dinner.

They had mutton tonight. The mutton was stewed as soup with radish. Su Da Lin's cooking was excellent. Especially now he made added mutton soup to the menu for customers. The taste was perfected.

Zhou Kai was satisfied with his dinner. Then he went over to the chair to watch TV. The chairs were cushioned with thick cushions, so they were comfortable to sit on.

"Eldest Cousin, can you teach me how to punch?" Su Xun came over and asked. He stared at cousin with slight admiration.

"Now I'm too full, I can't teach you. I will show you a trick or two later. Once you're in school, whoever dares to provoke you, you can beat them." Zhou Kai said.

Su Xun's eyes lit up.

"Da Wa, why are you teaching him this?" Zhou Xiao Mei was speechless.

Su Da Lin was also didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"What's wrong with teaching this? My mother taught us like this. Not allowed to bully others, but if anyone dares to bully us, fight back on the spot. Don’t leave it overnight. If you can’t beat them, run away. If not, get beaten for nothing." Zhou Kai said.

Even at this age, he still felt that his mother was extremely reasonable.

Zhou Xiao Mei laughed: "My fourth sister-in-law is really fierce. If they hurt another's child, wouldn't she get annoyed by those in the village's scolding?"

She knew that some women in the village were very fierce in scolding people. They can keep at it for more than an hour.

"My mother said that was her business. We don't need to care about it. It's enough that we don't suffer." Zhou Kai grinned.

Su Cheng and Su Xun both looked envious. Their mother wouldn't allow them to fight.

Father Zhou and Mother Zhou didn't say anything.

The two of them had personally seen Second's get thrown down by Fourth's wife.

Fourth's wife was a civilized person. She wouldn't yell at people. But if she was really provoked, a neat over-the-shoulder throw can knock someone down.

After that, Second's wife behaved. Even when she often talk behind Fourth's wife's back, she never dared to say it in front of her.

"Boys. It's normal to fight. As long as you don't bully others, there's no need to be afraid. In the end, don't let others bully you, right?" Zhou Kai said.

"Eldest Cousin is right." Su Xun nodded.

"Did anyone at school bully you?" Zhou Kai asked.

"There's nobody. Still, I want to learn. Maybe I can use it in the future." Su Xun said.

"All right. Let's sit down for now." Zhou Kai said.

But before he could teach his little cousin, old Madam Zhu from next door came over.

Mother Zhou introduced: "This is Granny Zhu."

"Hello, Granny Zhu." Zhou Kai nodded and greeted.

"Hello, hello." Old Madam Zhu was ecstatic. Zhou Kai dropped by every day since his return, but it always happened when she was out. That was why she hadn't seen him until now.

From this examination, old Madam Zhu was really satisfied.

This young man appeared really energetic. He was also tall and bulky. His body showed promise.

"I heard your grandmother say, you are only eighteen after the New Year. How did you grow so tall?" Old Madam Zhu smilingly spoke.

The more she looked at Zhou Kai, the more she felt that this was going to be her grandson-in-law.

"Got it from my parents. They are also very tall." Zhou Kai answered with slight modesty.

"I heard that your mother is a foreign language teacher at Bei University?" Old Madam Zhu asked.

"En." Zhou Kai nodded.

"Your dad is now self-employed? I wonder if being self-employed profitable?" Old Madam Zhu continued.

If her granddaughter marries over, it was necessary to understand the general situation. Hearing from Mother Zhou didn't count. It was better to personally hear it from this young man.

"I don't know how the business is. I don't manage it. My dad is in charge, but from what I see, it's so-so." Zhou Kai glanced at her and replied.

"Then are you going to join the army in the future? That's really good. It's suitable for a young man like you." Old Madam Zhu remarked.

Zhou Kai just smiled and did not say anything else.

Old Madam Zhu noticed that he didn't speak anymore, so she started talking with Mother Zhou, "Your grandson is really tall and big. Such a good young man."

Mother Zhou smiled modestly and said, "Just a bit too tall."

Because there were a lot of people, old Madam Zhu didn't say too much. She was prepared to talk to Mother Zhou in private. For now, they watched TV together.

Speaking of this, old Zhou family principles weren't bad.

Especially this lad's parents. They were filial. If this lad marries her granddaughter in the future, he will definitely be filial to her too.

Old Madam Zhu's granddaughter was called Zhu Zhen Zhen.

The next day, she brought her over for Mother Zhou to see. Mother Zhou smilingly remarked, "This is your granddaughter ah! Quite beautiful."

Upon hearing this, Old Madam Zhu became delighted and then urged her granddaughter, "Zhen Zhen, what are you waiting for? Greet Granny Zhou."

"Hello, Granny Zhou." Huang Zhen Zhen's voice was similar to that of a mosquito.

Such a girl, Mother Zhou couldn't take a liking to. She liked the open and generous type. None of her few daughters-in-law have such an obsequious temperament.

But this was someone else’s granddaughter, so Mother Zhou didn’t say anything. She just smiled and acknowledged it. “I’m going to cut the radishes. My grandson said he wants to eat my pickled sweet and sour radishes. I won't chat with you."

"Alright. You busy away." Old Madam Zhu smiled.

She took Zhu Zhen Zhen home. Only then, she couldn't help but say: "Zhen Zhen, didn't Gran tell you to be more sensible? Know how to interact?"

"Gran, her family moved from a foreign town. How can they be as good as you say?" Zhu Zhen Zhen hesitantly muttered.

"What do you know? Young Kai's mother is a foreign language teacher at Bei University and his father is a self-employed person. I heard old Madam Zhou said that the business was doing well. Young Kai himself is outstanding. You don't want this, then what do want?" Old Madam Zhu uttered.

"Gran, what you say is right but I haven't seen him yet." Zhu Zhen Zhen bowed her head.

In front of Mother Zhou, she appeared meek, but in private it wasn't so.

"You still don’t trust Gran’s eyesight? Gran had never seen such a spirited young man. Although he is a year younger than you, it doesn’t matter at all. He is much taller than you. If you don’t believe your Gran, ask your grandfather. Your grandfather had met Young Kai.” said old Madam Zhu.

"Don't be so enthusiastic. I feel Young Kai might not be interested in Zhen Zhen." Uncle Zhu couldn't help say.

Old Madam Zhu didn't like these words: "Why won't he be interested in a girl like Zhen Zhen? What's more, he is going to be a soldier in the future. Zhen Zhen will have to stay at home. It'll be hard on Zhen Zhen. What is there to dislike? Zhen Zhen hasn't said anything yet."

Old Mister Zhu stopped talking.

"Gran, when will he come? I will check him out." Zhu Zhen Zhen lowered her head and said.
