Chapter 673. Eldest and Mei Jia's return
People felt energetic on happy occasions. It was entering December. The weather was very cold. Lin Qing He still found someone to come over and clean up the inside and outside of the house.
In addition, celebratory lanterns were hung up as well as 喜 were pasted on the wall.
Under her arrangement, the entire courtyard dwelling was beaming celebratory air.
Eldest and Weng Mei Jia arrived home on the eighteenth of December. They saw this sight as soon as they got home.Third grinningly said, "Mom arranged all of it for you and Eldest Sister-in-law. Including your wedding room."
Weng Mei Jia didn't go home as soon as possible. They both came to the courtyard dwelling together and were taken by Third to see their wedding room.
"We have troubled Auntie Lin." Weng Mei Jia smiled.
"Mom said it's fine as long as you like it. No trouble at all." Zhou Gui Lai jollily responded.
Zhou Kai was also very satisfied with the wedding room his mom had prepared. However, Lin Qing He wasn't at home at the moment. She and Mother Weng made an appointment to go out to the hot springs.
Nowadays, soaking in hot springs was a frequent activity for these two in-laws. Not only the two of them, but also Zhou Er Ni and Zhou Xiao Mei.
When Lin Qing He went home, she was naturally overjoyed to see eldest son and eldest daughter-in-law come home."Why did you come back one day earlier? I thought you'll get back tomorrow. Your mom was with me just now." Lin Qing He merrily told Weng Mei Jia.
"I'll go back in a bit." Weng Mei Jia smilingly said, "Auntie Lin, we have seen the room."
"Do you like it?" Lin Qing He grinned.
The wedding room prepared for the couple was carefully designed. Absolutely generous and beautiful. It wouldn't seem too cumbersome.
Weng Mei Jia liked it herself. Zhou Kai spoke: "Mom, why are you still so young? With my dad's appearance, he looks like he's your dad instead."
"Just praise Mom. You don't have to degrade Dad. Dad's appearance looks very young too." Zhou Gui Lai said.
"Dad is young. Dad isn't old." Little Mi Mi also protected her dad.
Only then, Zhou Qing Bai didn't cut his eldest son up. He picked up his daughter. Zhou Kai was about to hold his younger sister, but Zhou Qing Bai wouldn't pass her over: "Want to hold, then give birth one by yourself."
"Don't be proud, Dad. I'll give birth one for you to see next year." Zhou Kai stated.
Weng Mei Jia's face blushed slightly and gave him a glance. Zhou Kai responded: "Our side is ready. We can have a child. The earlier we birth, they earlier we wash our hand."
Weng Mei Jia pinched him secretly. It would be fine to say this to her in private. What was she to say now he said it like this?
After Lin Qing He carried lemon honey water for them, she spoke, "Are you two going to the bathhouse or washing up at home?"
"Is it cold to wash at home?" Zhou Kai said.
"There is a water heater. It's not cold." Lin Qing He answered.
The bathroom at home was specially designed. It won’t get cold when one take a bath. Zhou Kai had saw it but didn’t have much interest. He was used to the big bathhouse. Whether in the army or wherever he was, he was accustomed to the big bathhouse. Can't describe how comfortable it was to have someone help scrubbing.
However, Weng Mei Jia didn't want to go out to wash. Just washed up at home.
Zhou Kai called Third. The two brothers went to the bathhouse to take a bath together.
Zhou Kai got to know the family situation through his younger brother.
Zhou Gui Lai said, "Nothing much. Just Elder Sister Wu Ni getting married. She married to Xiao Geng's cousin. Elder Sister Si Ni gave birth to a daughter."
"Daughter ah." Desire expressed through Zhou Kai's eyes. He had told Weng Mei Jia that he wanted a daughter in the future.
Weng Mei Jia had said, what if it is a son? What else could Zhou Kai do? If it's a son, he would also raise him. But he would definitely not be treated like a daughter. Just roll away by yourself.
"Xu Sheng Qiang and Xu Sheng Mei had divorced." Zhou Gui Lai added after remembering it.
Zhou Kai asked about it. Zhou Gui Lai recounted the event again. Zhou Kai remarked: "Zhang Mei Lian and Zhao Jun aren't good things in the first place. They both persisted on sticking to them. It's what they asked for."
"Now Xu Sheng Qiang is helping in Dad's dumpling shop. He is basically watching the dumpling shop." Zhou Gui Lai said.
"Dad decided?" Zhou Kai asked in surprise.
"Mom agreed." Zhou Gui Lai stated. He also told his eldest brother that Xu Sheng Qiang had changed a lot since he came out of prison. He was a lot more solemn.
Still, he can be regarded as a practical person. At least he gone over to the dumpling shop for so long and hadn't stirred any conflict. He had been opening and closing the shop on time. It seems that he had grown up and wasn't as irritable as before.
Zhou Kai didn’t say anything. This was also his cousin, same as Hu Zi and Gang Zi. As long as he changed his mindset and behaved well, he naturally had nothing to say. The original blood relationship lied there. He wasn't an enemy. How can he not hope for the best for him?
The two brothers took a bath and came back refreshed. Weng Mei Jia was speaking with Lin Qing He at home. Zhou Kai drove over to his grandparents' and god-grandfather's.
As soon as he came over, he was warmly welcomed by the three elderly people.
"I said you are about to come back. Yesterday I asked your elder sister Er Ni to ask your mother. Your mother said it's tomorrow." Mother Zhou said happily as she grasped the hand of eldest grandson.
"Mei Jia and I came back a day earlier, so we arrived in the capital early." Zhou Kai merrily told and asked about his grandparents' and god-grandfather's health one by one.
In fact, Father Zhou and Mother Zhou were in good health. In recent years, they have been more pampered. The nanny was also very good at taking care of others. While, old Wang's health was a bit poor.
But it was all old problems. It was like this in winter. Lin Qing He would get Third to send some fruits over every few days. Eating them was more hydrating and won't easy to get overheated.
"Yesterday, your Third Aunt called. She said that they will depart today and come over to stay here for one day. The next day will be the day when you marry Mei Jia." Mother Zhou mentioned.
"How many people are coming?" Zhou Kai still didn't know.
Mother Zhou was was particularly chatty. She shook her fingers as she counted to him: "All of your eldest uncle's family is going to come over. Your second uncle's house is just Xia Xia and his wife. Also your second paternal aunt, your third aunt, and your maternal uncle."
With so many people this time, it will be lively. Mother Zhou was excited. Let alone her, Father Zhou and old Wang was the same.
"Once you get married, give birth to a child earlier. When your mother was your age, she already birthed you brothers," Mother Zhou remarked.
"En. It's almost time to have a child after getting married." Zhou Kai nodded.
Mother Zhou was very satisfied. She pulled her grandson to the backyard to see the chickens she raised. She set up a chicken shed. They all hid in the chicken shed. She spoke: "When you marry, serve these chickens to the table. Don’t need to save. Yesterday, I caught and killed a few of them. Gave them to each family to eat."
Zhou Kai patiently listened at all. He listened to what his grandmother said. After staying here for more than an hour, he returned home.
