This author has traveled through time and space in a book!

However, with the successive births of her granddaughter and grandson in the past two years, Zhou Ergu has indeed withdrawn a lot of her attention from Zhou Ran. But after all, she has doted on him for more than ten years, so how can she just give up all her attention, especially when it comes to something like feelings?

It’s just that Zhou Ran is jealous, jealous of his little niece and nephew. He has been visiting his second aunt’s house much less in the past two years.

Firstly, Zhou Ran grew up and his schoolwork became more demanding; secondly, Zhou Ergu's family welcomed new members one after another. First, the granddaughter was born, and Zhou Ergu, the grandmother, had to take care of the baby. Half a year later, the eldest daughter also became pregnant, and the elderly mother needed Zhou Ergu to take care of her in advance. In short, even if Zhou Ran came, it would be difficult to see him.

This time, it was because the Lunar New Year was approaching, and my second uncle forced his wife to go home, so my second cousin returned from Pengcheng. There was another reason, perhaps because distant things are more fragrant than nearby. Zhou Ran's eldest cousin is a very strong person. It's okay for mother and daughter to have a brief contact, but it's hard to judge after being together for a long time...

When Zhou Ergu left, it was Old Zhou who saw her off. But this time she came back quietly and didn't even pass by Zhou Ran's house.

According to Ms. Zhou, Zhou Ergu must have brought back a lot of goodies from Pengcheng and kept them to herself. The relationship between the younger sister-in-law and the eldest sister-in-law is actually difficult to evaluate. When things are going well, they are like one person, but when things go badly, they don't hesitate to speculate about each other with the most sinister intentions.

Zhou Ran, who came back after many years, found out that Zhou Ergu came back in a rather disheveled state. She had a big fight with her daughter and was almost driven back home.

What was the cause? Maybe neither of them remembered, but if we look into the root cause, it was nothing more than Zhou Ergu felt that she ran to Pengcheng to accompany her daughter for childbirth when her granddaughter was not even one year old, and she owed this place something. She inevitably revealed some of it in her words. As for Zhou Ran's eldest cousin, she thought that she did not use her mother in vain, because she gave her mother money!

That’s right, Zhou Ran’s eldest cousin gives her mother 4000 yuan a month, and she hires a nanny for yuan.

Why so little money for her own mother? My cousin had her own theory. She felt her parents had been favoring the younger son for a long time, and if she gave him more money, it would end up in the pockets of his younger brother, his wife, whom she hated the most. So she was unwilling to give more. Besides, it was only natural for a mother to provide for her daughter's confinement after childbirth.

Because of this, she gave Zhou Ergu less money than she gave the nanny, and she still felt that since she paid her, she had the right to order her mother around.

It's purely a brain circuit abnormality.

These words were not said by Zhou Ran, but by the nephew who had grown up and was complaining to his aunt Zhou Ran.

He is really a big nephew, literally. Little Chen He has grown into a "big" nephew with a height of 188 and a weight of 240.

As for the little niece, she had never been close to Zhou Ran since she was a child. Later, after Zhou Ergu passed away, they became even closer. Although they lived in the same city, they gradually lost contact.

In just a blink of an eye, decades of thoughts had been running through Zhou Ran's mind, and Zhou Ergu had already taken a small bowl and picked up two pieces of braised pork ribs for Zhou Ran.

Zhou Ran immediately put aside all his thoughts and turned into a foodie with a smile.

Second Aunt's braised pork is different from her father's. Her father stir-fries it first and then stews it, and even adds sugar coloring, focusing on a delicate taste! Second Aunt stews it directly, adding a little soy sauce for coloring, relying mainly on the natural flavor of the food. Didn't I hear Second Aunt say that she ordered it from the butcher the day before? The main focus is on freshness!

But to Zhou Ran's taste buds, both types of braised pork were delicious.

Especially after her second aunt passed away, she never ate this kind of braised pork again.

Zhou Ran stayed at her second aunt's house for a while before being taken to her grandparents' house. She seriously suspected that her second aunt was worried that the kid would finish the whole pot of braised pork if he stayed at home...

Zhou Ran's impression of her grandparents has faded a bit. The two elderly people passed away one after another when she was in her second and third year of high school.

It’s the end of a year and the beginning of a year, and they say we should live to the same age, so they are both considered 87 years old.

Grandpa walked in front because he had fallen a few years ago, probably when Zhou Ran was in the fifth grade of elementary school. Even the mourning clothes were prepared. Zhou Ran fed her grandfather a candy and grandpa woke up again.

He didn't know what happened before, but now that he grew up, Zhou Ran could almost understand it. It must be that after his grandfather fell, he stopped eating and his blood sugar was so low that he fell into a coma. After replenishing the sugar, he woke up again.

The diagnosis from the village clinic doctor, wow...

But the village doctor is Zhou Ran’s grandfather, so there’s nowhere to turn for help!

"Grandpa! Grandma!" Zhou Ran's deep emotions suddenly surged when he really saw the elderly relatives he was related to by blood.

Perhaps the older generation has the idea of favoring boys over girls, but for Grandpa Zhou and Grandma Zhou, a couple who have four sons and four daughters, boys are not that valuable.

Ms. Zhou did complain that her grandparents favored boys over girls and never came to hold her when she was a child, but... wasn't that because of the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law problem caused by Mr. Zhou's infertility for four or five years after marriage?

Anyway, as far as Zhou Ran can remember, her grandparents have always doted on her. Even during the few months when her grandfather was bedridden, he told others that Zhou Ran was his only granddaughter.

Old Zhou's interpretation is that Grandpa Zhou meant that his youngest son has only one daughter.

But when that word reached Uncle Zhou's ears, it was interpreted as Grandpa Zhou favoring his youngest son and only recognizing Zhou Ran as his granddaughter.

For this reason, he later threatened to dig up Grandpa Zhou and Grandma Zhou’s graves...

But in fact, Uncle Zhou instigated the division of the family when Old Zhou was seven years old and took away all the things in the house. Before Old Zhou got married, he made a fuss about dividing the family and even wanted to divide the furniture that Old Zhou made himself.

In short, all Lao Zhou got at home was an old house with mud walls and a half-room. He was really poor.

Where's Uncle Zhou? A three-room brick house from the 1960s!

If we really talk about favoritism, the old man is partial to his eldest son. As for why his life became worse and worse afterwards, wasn't it all his own fault?

Did Old Zhou benefit from his family's influence at all? By the time he grew up, his parents were already in their sixties. By the time he got married and had children, his parents were already in their seventies. How could they have provided any help?

Before Zhou Ran turned thirty, Old Zhou helped Uncle Zhou's family a lot. It was not until Uncle Zhou's two sons openly and secretly tried to seize Old Zhou's property and acted as if they should pay for their family that Old Zhou became completely disheartened.

At this moment, Zhou Ran only saw her grandparents but not her father, so she knew that he must have gone to deliver something to Uncle Zhou.

It’s better to feed the dog. A dog will wag its tail and show gratitude if you feed it. But give it to that family... forget it.

Those who are grateful for a little bit of rice and resentful for a big bit of rice, I don’t know what will happen in this life.

"Hey, Ranran, do you want to eat mooncakes?" Grandma Zhou was very happy to see her little granddaughter and said with a toothless smile.

"No, I just had braised pork at Second Aunt's place." Just kidding, it's almost Chinese New Year, and the shelf life of mooncakes is only one month at most. Zhou Ran didn't think his stomach could handle it.

But that’s what all the old people do. They hide and rehide the things they think are good and leave them for the younger generations to eat.
