Chapter 77: My Cousin's Mind
After a few bites of noodles, I even drank the noodle soup. Zhou Yuanxin burped with satisfaction.
"Grandmad, Liu Ming graduated from high school. He just told me that he planned to go out to work?"
Listening to Zhou Yuan asking about this, Liu Weiguo, who was still happy just now, sighed with a little regret: "This kid is just like his father, and he is not a good student at all. He is forced to go to high school. He doesn't want to take the college entrance exam at all, but he can't just stay at home after graduation. Since he wants to go out and make a fortune."
Speaking of this, Liu Weiguo remembered something and said to Zhou Yuan: "By the way, Xiaoyuan, what's the relationship between you in the city, can you help Xiao Ming to resettle? Don't look at how much you say on weekdays, but your mind doesn't turn around. It's too solid. It's okay to go out and suffer a little. If you are afraid, you are afraid that he will suffer a loss. No matter what, you are also his brother. Apart from your grandson, he is only a grandson. My brothers should take care of him."
"Grandmaster, don't worry, I'm the only younger brother of Liu Ming. I'll arrange this and ensure that he won't suffer any losses." Zhou Yuan agreed with a smile. Although Liu Ming's education is average, he has graduated from high school anyway. Moreover, Liu Ming's personality is also clear. It is not difficult for him to arrange a job for his younger brother in Haicheng.
"It's good, okay!" Liu Weiguo smiled when he heard Zhou Yuan say this. He turned around and saw that he had finished eating a pack of jerky beef and was stuffing pork strips into his mouth. Liu Weiguo was so angry that he slapped him in the back of the head. Liu Ming, who was hit by a little, turned around for no reason, looking very aggrieved.
"Master, why are you hitting me?"
"You kid is reincarnated by starving ghosts! Why don't you give me food at home?"
"Isn't this what my brother brings just for food? What's wrong with how many bites I eat?" Liu Ming blinked his big eyes and was very innocent.
Seeing him like this, Liu Weiguo was immediately angry, but it was not appropriate to scold Zhou Yuan in front of Zhou Yuan, especially his grandson-daughter-in-law (the old man already regarded Zhang Qingyan as his grandson-daughter-in-law at this time). He immediately glared at Liu Ming first, and then told Liu Ming what Zhou Yuan agreed. After hearing this, Liu Ming was excited and thanked Zhou Yuan repeatedly, and was even more happy.
After Zhang Qingyan finished eating the noodles, Zhou Yuan helped pack up the things, and then helped Liu Weiguo continue to make the unfinished noodles. After all this, the sky gradually darkened. He went to wash his face. Zhou Yuan, who was putting on his coat, came to the kitchen. Zhang Qingyan and Liu Weiguo were preparing supper.
"What's so fragrant?" As soon as I entered the kitchen, I smelled a scent.
"My grandfather stewed an old hen for me, hehe." Zhang Qingyan said with a thrill of spirit.
Zhou Yuan looked at Zhang Qingyan, then looked at his grandfather who was busy with smiles. He didn't know what to say for a moment.
"Three rules!"
Taking advantage of the moment when Liu Weiguo went to see the fire, Zhou Yuan opened his mouth and said four words silently to Zhang Qingyan. However, Zhang Qingyan pretended to turn a blind eye, turned around and opened the pot of the stewed chicken and smelled it. Then he looked at Liu Weiguo Highway: "Grandmaster, come and see if this chicken is good?"
"Well, it's almost done. Qingyan, go and tidy up the table over there, and the meal will start later." Liu Weiguo reached out and wiped the hem of the skirt, picked up a chopstick and poked it twice, and then gave instructions to Zhang Qingyan.
Zhang Qingyan responded, turned around and left the kitchen, leaving Zhou Yuan alone in the kitchen. Zhou Yuan was about to go out but was called by Liu Weiguo. The old man asked Zhou Yuan with a smile when he would do his job. He also told him that Qingyan thought it was good, so he should not drag him down after taking them home. Zhou Yuan, who is not young, should have started a family early.
For a moment, Zhou Yuan didn't know how to answer. To be honest, this old man was in a hurry. But as the old man said, he and Zhang Qingyan were really not the case. He could only agree a few words in a vague way. Until Zhang Qingyan came back and said that the table had been packed, Liu Weiguo did not continue to talk with Zhou Yuan.
The dinner was very rich. Liu Weiguo not only killed the chicken, but also made Zhou Yuan's favorite braised pork. In addition, the fresh vegetables grown in his own fields, although this meal was not as good as the big restaurant in the city, everyone ate it with relish.
In addition to the relatives around him, Zhou Yuan's appetite was much better than usual, and he even ate one more bowl of rice. However, it would have been even better if it weren't for Zhang Qingyan's misunderstandings. During the meal, Zhou Yuan was always worried that Liu Wei and the Congress would mention anything directly in front of Zhang Qingyan, otherwise he really wouldn't know how to answer. Fortunately, Liu Weiguo didn't say this anymore, but the old man kept reminding Zhou Yuan to pick up more dishes for Zhang Qingyan and let her eat more, which still made Zhou Yuan feel a little uncomfortable.
The Liu family has a large yard and many rooms. In addition to the main house where the old man lives, there is also a side room where his uncle Liu Lei and his aunt live. As for cousin Liu Ming, he originally lived with his parents. After going to high school, he cleaned up a room next to his parents' room and lived separately.
In addition to these three rooms, there is another room for Zhou Yuan, who will live there every year when Zhou Yuan comes. But this time, Zhang Qingyan came with him, so Zhou Yuan was naturally not suitable to live with Zhang Qingyan. As for the old man, it was nothing. Maybe he wanted Zhou Yuan and Zhang Qingyan to live in the same room, but how could Zhou Yuan be willing? So he gave the room to Zhang Qingyan and lived directly in his cousin Liu Ming's room.
It was dark in the countryside, and there was no entertainment at night. When it got dark, apart from the few barkings of dogs in the village, there were basically no people on the road. Everyone either stayed at home and drank wine and watched TV or just played cards together, and more people got into bed before nine o'clock and rested early.
"Brother, what should I do when I went to Haicheng?" After entering the house, Liu Ming sat on the edge of the bed and asked Zhou Yuan who was reading with a smile.
Zhou Yuan closed the letter and looked at his cousin. He had some ideas about Liu Ming's arrangements before Zhou Yuan, but he had to ask him about his plans for details.
"What do you want to do yourself?" Zhou Yuan asked.
"This..." Liu Ming scratched his head and thought for a while, "I haven't thought about this. But when I work, I can do whatever I can. Brother, just look at what I can do, I will listen to you anyway."
This made Zhou Yuan laugh and thought about it, "You don't have enough education. It's nothing if you simply find a job, but no matter what, you are my brother, you can't let you go to the factory to run the assembly line. This way, I'll arrange for you to work as an assistant at that time, first do some miscellaneous work in a company, learn, and adjust after working for a while. What do you think?"
"Zhong! Whatever your brother said is, I have no objection." Liu Ming was so happy that he agreed without thinking.
Seeing Liu Ming's attitude, Zhou Yuan was very happy. Liu Ming had a straightforward personality. Although he couldn't study, he was still very down-to-earth. As a cousin, he would help him if he could. Besides, he only had such a cousin.
"It's not the festival day yet, why are my uncle and aunt visiting relatives now?" Liu Lei and his wife went to Liu Ming's house today. His aunt married in the town. The town is a bit far from Liuzhuang Village. Besides, the road is not easy to walk. At least one day, I will definitely not be able to get back today.
"It's nothing. My aunt's husband's relative gave birth to a child. My aunt called my parents yesterday and asked her to eat 100-day wine. They passed by together early in the morning." Liu Ming said.
"Relative? Who are you?" Zhou Yuan asked.
Liu Ming shook his head: "I'm not very familiar with you, I'm from my uncle's house anyway."
"Then why didn't you go?"
"It will take two or three days to go back and forth, so I'm too lazy to go. Besides, if I leave, brother, you will almost never be able to meet you this time." Liu Ming laughed.
Zhou Yuan said oh, and didn't think much about it. Then he lay on the bed and chatted casually. As he chatted, he felt sleepy and fell asleep in a short while.
I don’t know how long I slept, but I heard someone slapping the door in a daze. Zhou Yuan woke up and thought he had heard it wrong, but when he heard it carefully, he was indeed slapping the door, and the voice of his grandfather Liu Weiguo came.
"Wake up! Grandpa is shooting the door." Zhou Yuan quickly pushed Liu Ming, who was still sleeping beside him, then put on his clothes and got off the floor, and opened the door in a few steps.
