Chapter 533. Driven
Zhou Kai didn't know whether laugh or cry. He didn't say anything though. His grandmother missed him.
"Grandmother knows that you are busy. But when you are free, you have to come back, understand?" Mother Zhou continued.
"Grandmother, I know." Zhou Kai nodded.
"God-grandfather, let's take a bath together." Zhou Gui Lai said.
"Go get my clothes and bath towels." Old Wang gave him the key and said.
Zhou Gui Lai headed out to get clothes and saw Wang Yuan on the way out. Wang Yuan came over with fruits. One net of pears and one net of apples. Both were large net bags.
"Where are you going?" Wang Yuan asked.
"Getting clothes for my god-grandfather and prepare to go to the bathhouse." Zhou
Wang Yuan nodded. Once he went in, he saw Zhou Kai and immediately smiled: "When did you come back?"
"Today." Zhou Kai merrily answered: "Congratulations to Second Brother-in-law. It's a joy to have a baby twins." His mom had mentioned these when they talking on the phone.
"Thanks." Wang Yuan grinned.
Mother Zhou remarked, "Why bring so many fruits again? Your uncle (Da Lin) bought two boxes of apples yesterday."
"Then eat more." Wang Yuan said.
He also wanted to take a wash. So he said, "I'll go back and get my clothes and go with you later."
Naturally, there was no objection. The group of people came to the bathhouse together to take a wash. Although Zhou Kai's chest wound healed, the evidence of it still remained. It went without saying they discovered it.
"If Mom know about this, Mom will make you come back to make dumplings right away." Zhou Gui Lai said in a speechless voice. Just the look of it felt painful to him.
"Don't tell Mom when you go back." Zhou Kai warningly looked at Zhou Xuan and Zhou Gui Lai.
"Don't worry. I won't say it." Zhou Xuan took a look and said.
"Be careful outside," Wang Yuan urged.
"I know. This was an accident." Zhou Kai responded.
Old Wang and Father Zhou also saw it. They were worried. It was obvious from Zhou Kai's reaction that he would not give up his dream because of this. So they didn't say anything.
Wang Yuan asked: "How many can you fight on your own now?"
"It depends on the opponent's skill." Zhou Kai said. If was ordinary person level, he can fight a group. If it was someone used to fighting on the street and had experience, then he can fight a few. As for those kind of underworld fighting master, then maybe he can barely make a few moves with him one-on-one.
At his place, these were what he trained on every day. In addition, he had extraordinary talent. Whether in military academy or in the army, his progress was huge. Though the soldiers under him were older than him, they respected him.
Even if there was, they were beaten until they submit.
Looking at his arm, Wang Yuan had some admiration. It was obvious he was trained.
"Second Brother-in-law, you have to be nice to my second sister. If not, just my brother only, you can't win." Zhou Gui Lai meanly uttered.
"Let's go to the hot springs one of these day. We won't take you, Third." Wang Yuan waved his hand.
"Brother-in-law. Second Brother-in-law, I know you love my Sister Er Ni the most and will definitely treat her well. After all, she is bring her husband blessing. I can definitely trust you. There are so many flower-loving people outside. You aren't one of them. Let's go together one of these days." Zhou Gui Lai said.
"I'm missing a back scrubber." Wang Yuan stated.
Zhou Gui Lai went over to serve him.
Speaking of serving, there was a funny story. Originally, the big bathhouse in Greater Dabei didn't have so many problems. But a college student from the southern side came here to study and caused an amusing stir.
He came in in his underwear to wash up. He was originally low-key and shy, but the more shy he was, the more he became the focus of the bathhouse.
After taking a wash, they came out refreshed.
They came back to that side. Mother Zhou knew Fourth's wife stewed something delicious, so she said, "You can come here to eat lunch tomorrow. I will make it for you."
"Okay." Zhou Kai responded.
Zhou Kai went to see the baby twins before going home.
"Da Wa become so tall and strong." Zhou Er Ni smilingly said.
"If he go back to the village, he will be the tallest in the whole village." Zhou Si Ni grinned.
They weren't surprised about him growing so tall though. First of all, their uncle and aunt weren't short. And then, these cousins' food aspect had them all envy in the village.
Like truly envious. At that time, the conditions were still bad. Terrible bad. It was wonderful if one could eat 60% to 70% full.
However, their fourth aunt was creative when feeding Da Wa and the others. There were many people in the village who criticized about it in the background. Saying that Fourth Aunt didn't know how to live and would only cause ruin.
But who wouldn't be envious at that time?
Later, Fourth Aunt went to teach in junior high school and Da Wa brothers had milk to drink. They had it every day. It made people overflow with envy.
The whole village envied them for having a mother like their fourth aunt. It was simply living in happiness.
Nowadays, whether it was Zhou Kai, Zhou Xuan, or the youngest Zhou Gui Lai, they were all over 1.8 meters tall. Quite tall. It was all due to the foundation laid down when they were young.
Wang Yuan said: "Third just warned me. If I'm not good to you, then he will get his eldest brother beat me."
Zhou Si Ni burst into laughter. Zhou Er Ni also couldn't stop herself. Her heart was warmed. She married so far to the capital. What's more, it was marrying up. How could she not feel uneasy in her heart? But with her fourth uncle and fourth aunt's family present, she was at ease.
Getting back to the dumpling shop. The family was ready to eat dinner. It was a bit early, but not a big problem.
The earlier they finished the meal, the earlier Eldest can go back to rest.
"Where is Hu Zi?" Zhou Kai asked when he saw Gang Zi coming and not a shadow of Hu Zi.
"Hu Zi went to set up a stall. Just leave him a bowl and a few mantou." Lin Qing He said. They didn't wait for Hu Zi since they were eating early today. Just keeping it warm for him was fine.
"He come back every day when it's dinner time. Very driven." Zhou Xuan remarked.
"Of course, he must be driven. Just how much money was needed to transfer household registration. And the expenses such as marrying a wife, etc.. Being driven is the right thing to do now." Zhou Gui Lai said.
"Aunt, can I go out to set up a stall next year?" Gang Zi smilingly asked.
"Can start next summer vacation." Lin Qing He nodded.
"Not continuing to study?" Zhou Qing Bai looked at him and said.
"No, it's enough." Gang Zi quickly shook his head. He knew that uncle was thinking for his best, but he wanted to make money more.
"Let's eat. After eating, go rest." Lin Qing He said to Eldest.
"En," Zhou Kai nodded.
After Lin Qing He and Zhou Qing Bai finished eating, they went to the movies. Recently, there hadn't been much time. Since there were new movies, they had to go and watch them.
"This year, except for Sister Er Ni and Sister San Ni's birthing nieces and nephews, what else had happened?" Zhou Kai asked when it was just them brothers left.
"Too much. You won't believe it when you hear it." Zhou Gui Lai uttered.

Haiiii finally caught up again
ReplyDeleteThanks for the update
3rd son is both sassy and gossipy, it's great! I missed having the oldest around *sniff *sniff
ReplyDeleteThey have grown so much 🤧🤧
ReplyDeleteI was rereading and I can't believe how Er Wa and San Wa has changed (Da Wa is still the same though). Back then, I thought Er Wa would be the flattering one but now he's the quietest. And that little stuttering San Wa now talks like a train. I really want Er Wa to have more screen time like San Wa. I kinda miss him.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chapter.
