BTTS 532

 Chapter 532. Grandmother's eldest son

"Care? Why do I feel this kid hasn't bloom yet?" Perplexed, Weng Guo Dong said.

"You haven't dated yet. What do you know?" Mother Weng was more perplexed than him.

When she mentioned marriage age, she noticed Young Kai's expression. He took a peek at her daughter.

One can't describe how wonderful Mother Weng’s mood was. Looking at him from with a mother-in-law's eyes, she became more and more satisfied with his reaction.

She knew it in her heart and was sure. But her daughter's attitude wasn't clear yet.

Weng Guo Dong took a fatal hit and stopped talking.

Father Weng said, "Don't go lecture Mei Jia. She is also satisfied with Young Kai." How Father Weng not know his daughter and stated.

Weng Guo Dong nodded. His sister had peeled oranges for Zhou Kai. Really, that kind of concern.

When Mother Weng heard this, she didn’t go in to disturb her daughter. She merrily said: “Let them date for two years and then get them to marry.”

Father Weng thought it was pretty good. Twenty-two was appropriate age to get married. Not too young.

Back to Zhou Kai's side. When he got back, he saw his mom and his brothers. When he and Mei Jia came back, they were at the mall. They weren't present.

"Eldest Brother is amazing. One look and you can tell you can fight," Zhou Gui Lai said enviously.

"Once you graduate, go to our place and stay for two years before coming out." Zhou Kai responded.

Zhou Gui Lai's expression changed: "Not going. I want to stay at home and accompany my parents and grandparents!"

"This gut." Zhou Kai glanced at him with disdain.

"Eldest Brother, your arm is almost like steel now." Zhou Gui Lai commented as he punched his arm.

Zhou Kai ignored him and only looked at Lin Qing He: "Mom, can you make me something delicious tonight?"

"Want something delicious? Eat the radish and salt-pickled veg if you want!" Lin Qing He answered.

With that, she opened the freezer, took out the pig's stomach that had just been frozen yesterday to thaw, and ordered Second to boil water to remove the chicken's feather.

Every time he returned, Lin Qing He had to make this pig's stomach and chicken dish for him. She knew that he wouldn't be short of food or drink outside. But when he came back, Lin Qing He would give him nourishment.

As the old saying goes, people nourish their stomachs in their first 30 years and the stomach nourish them in the next 30 years.

This stomach must be treated well for him.

"Once Eldest Brother return, this dish must be made. Yesterday Mom ordered three pig's stomach. All reserved for you. We want to eat it but she said we have to wait for you to come back." Zhou Gui Lai clicked his tongue.

"Do I normally short you food or clothes?" Lin Qing He asked.

"No. It just feels that every time Eldest Brother comes back, my second brother and I have fallen out of favor." Zhou Gui Lai laughed.

"You guys been spoiled for a whole year. You got to at least share a day with me." Zhou Kai said.

Zhou Gui Lai smiled and then went home. He brought his camera over and asked his eldest brother to stand up. He took a few photos.

"You don't know. When you didn't come back, Grandmother would rely on these photos to pass the days. Every day, she have to flip through them back and forth several times." Zhou Gui Lai told.

Zhou Kai cooperated with him. He took with his mother. With his expressionless dad. And with his second brother who was plucking chicken's feather.

After such a roll of photos, Zhou Gui Lai beamed and said, "Our photo album is old and precious. We will keep it to pass down."

From when they were very young, their parents took them to take pictures in the county town. It was a annual tradition. Every year, it was taken.

Even now, Zhou Gui Lai, who had grown up big, would look at the photos of them when they were young. It was completely satisfying.

"It's just that our mom is still our mom. Young as always. Our dad has gotten old in the past ten years." Zhou Gui Lai commented.

Then Third received a few glance from Zhou Qing Bai's cold eyes.

"Nonsense. Your dad's treasure isn't old. His glory hasn't diminished since back then. What do you stinky brat know?" Lin Qing He persisted on defending her man.

Zhou Qing Bai's expression was like winter snow encountering the spring sun. Although he continued to silently wrap his dumplings, he occasionally swept his gaze toward his wife. The three Zhou brothers couldn't bear it!

Can't be helped. It was too greasy!

"Mow you're back, for morning exercises take Third out to practice. So wordy, he can go out to the society. Since he can fight, he need to learn to take beatings." Zhou Qing Bai instructed Eldest.

Zhou Kai looked at Third with a gloomy gaze.

Zhou Gui Lai yelled: "Dad, I'm just joking. Really! I have never seen such a man worthy of my mom. You are definitely the only one. You two have always been specially right for each other since you were young. Look at the photos. A talented man and a beautiful woman!"

In fact, it wasn't. Every pictures of his dad, he always keeps his face the same to the end and stood next to their cheerful mother. When the brothers were in junior high and high school, they often complained that their dad wasn't worthy of their mother.

If it weren't for the good allowance for being a soldier in the past, would a blockhead be able to marry their mother just like that? No way.

"It's useless for you to say a fairy matching the god of war. Tomorrow, join Eldest Brother's practice." Zhou Xuan gloated.

"Second Brother, you are going into literature in the future. You got to make sure your body is good, understand? You have to go practice with us!" Zhou Gui Lai immediately pulled him into the water.

"I often play basketball. Don't think of me as a weak chicken. With so much words, you will be beaten when you go out. Go learn to take beating from Eldest Brother. Dad is right." Zhou Xuan said with a smile.

"Why are other family's youngest the doted one? And our youngest is the best target to bully?" Zhou Gui Lai grumbled.

"What kind of doted one are you?" Zhou Qing Bai said in disgust.

His future little daughter is the jewel in the palm and the family's doted one.

The whole family was quite lively in this small dumpling shop. At the end of the year, the business was relatively quiet. Most people came directly to buy a few jins of dumplings to take home to cook by themselves. So there weren't many eating dumplings. So quite a sum came to buy dumplings.

Selling dumplings was quite profitable.

At this time, the pig's stomach and chicken was getting stewed. It'll be perfect to eat in the evening. When the pot started to simmer, Lin Qing He sent Zhou Kai to the bathhouse.

He went with Second and Third.

The three brothers came to find Father Zhou. Old Wang was playing chess with Father Zhou. It went without saying he overjoyed to see Zhou Kai come back.

Mother Zhou was even more agitated: "Da Wa. Oh, Grandmother's grandson. Grandmother hasn't seen you for a long time!"

Among all grandchildren, she doted Zhou Kai the most. There was no doubt about this.

When he was young, she often stuffed boiled eggs to him and occasionally got caught by Second Sister-in-law. Back then, the family hadn't split. So Second Sister-in-law often brought it up.

Zhou Kai grinned: "Grandmother, this year I can stay until the seventh of January." 

Doing the math, it was over half-month holiday. Quite rare.

"Only until the seventh? Can't you leave after the Lantern Festival?" Mother Zhou didn't think so. She felt the holiday was too short.
