The whole family travels through time and space, and the three of them struggle together
Chapter 32 The General is Coming
After lunch, Chen Xiuwan and her sister said goodbye and left, making an appointment with Chen Xiuying to come back to warm up the pot when the house was finished. Chen Xiuying agreed and joked that she would have to bring more things before she was allowed in.
Chen Mingyuan also followed them. He had to go to his mother-in-law's house to pick up his sons.
Before leaving, Chen Mingyuan said to his brother-in-law, "Since that person recognized you, you shouldn't go to town recently. If you need anything, let my second sister come forward. Even if that person doesn't know my second sister, I will come here often and help you run errands."
Zhou Dajiang thanked his brother-in-law and said, “I thought of this too, there is someone to run errands, and my eldest brother is at home.
Be careful when you go back, and don't hang around the house, lest you get spotted. Tomorrow, go to the private school and ask the principal for a long vacation on behalf of your father-in-law. Let him stay here with me and feel at ease. It won't be too late to go back once the bad guys are caught.
Zhou Dajiang had a lot of things to do at home, so after sending everyone away, he went to work on his tools. Zhou Dahai was assigned by his mother to weed the fields these two days, and since he was the only one left, he had to work harder.
Master Chen saw him busy and came over to help.
Chen Xiuying went to the old house with her mother-in-law to get cloth. All the clothes of her mother and father were burned except for one set of clothes they were wearing. This set of clothes was brought back by her younger sister yesterday.
She had to quickly prepare clothes and a quilt for them to cover themselves with at night. Although there was a thin one at home, her parents were old after all, and if the quilt was too thin, they would easily have trouble sleeping at night.
Thinking about this, she asked her mother-in-law if there was any cloth and cotton left at home. Mother Zhou was a good hand at managing her life, and she actually had some cloth and cotton saved, so she asked Xiuying to go home with her to get them.
When Mrs. Li heard this, she also said that she had one at home, but the color was a little brighter. She had wanted to save it to make clothes for her children.
When Chen Xiuying heard this, she also asked for some. She had never made clothes for An Ge'er since he came to this family. He was now wearing old clothes that Wang and Zhang had found for him. Children grow fast and the sleeves were getting short, so she took this opportunity to make two sets of clothes for him.
There was so much to cook that she had no time to think about the seasonings. Zhou's mother had helped her grind the herbs before, so she knew exactly which ingredients to add. So, she handed the job over to her mother-in-law, and Zhang went to help her.
The broth and garlic sauce were simple, and they could be made early tomorrow morning, so Zhang said she would peel the garlic while she was at it. She would fry the chili oil after she finished her work that evening.
Seeing her mother-in-law and eldest sister-in-law each taking on a job, Li, who had nothing else to do, decided to help her second sister-in-law make quilts. Each of them worked on one side, filling the cotton quickly. Although Chen Xiuying had lost her memory, her body still had physical instincts, and she was quick to pick up the pieces. It took them an hour to finish two quilts.
Seeing her daughter busy sewing quilts for herself and the old man, Chen's mother was not idle either. She picked up the needle and thread and made two sets of spare clothes for herself and the old man.
Chen's mother was very open-minded. She thought that difficulties were only temporary. Anyway, she had all her money, so she could buy clothes and other things slowly. As long as the person was still alive, everything else was secondary.
The old in-laws even took out all the treasures she had hidden away. She remembered this kindness and would ask her daughter to make up for it later. With such in-laws, her daughter must be kind to them, even providing for their old age.
After Zhou's mother and Zhang had finished all the necessary preparations, they also joined the needlework army.
The quilts were finished, leaving only the clothes. Several people worked together, some marking the patterns, some cutting, some sewing the clothes, some sewing the collars, and some sewing the sleeves. With the efforts of the five women, old and young, they quickly finished three sets of clothes.
For now, I have some spare clothes, so there is no rush for the rest. I can just make them slowly.
In the evening, people came one after another to pay for today's goods and to report the quantity of their orders for the next day. Zhou Dajiang had to interrupt his work from time to time to greet the guests. By the time he finished his work, dinner was ready at home.
Chen Xiuying didn't let her mother-in-law and the others go back. They still had dinner at Zhou Dajiang's house in the evening. Zhou Dahai, who had just finished work, was also called over by Zhou Sisi.
They were not strangers and had to work after dinner, so no one refused. Just as they sat down and were about to start eating, Zhou Dahe came in carrying a pot.
Before anyone even entered the house, a voice called out, "Great, you can have some delicious food while I'm not home!"
Chen Xiuying couldn't help laughing. Her brother-in-law always came back just in time for dinner and always managed to catch some delicious food. He was really lucky!
Zhou Dajiang and Zhou Dahai helped him take the pot off his back and said, "I was thinking of asking my brother to get the pot from you tomorrow, but I didn't expect you to send it back."
"I just thought that you are all busier than me. I came back to deliver it, so I can rest for a night." He accidentally blurted out the truth.
"No one said you couldn't go home. As long as you can get your work done, no one will stop you from going home every day."
After being scolded by his own mother, Zhou Dahe became "droopy". He turned his grief and anger into appetite and was only happy after eating three big bowls of rice.
Zhou Dajiang's house is lively with the children during the day, and with the adults at night.
After dinner, it was time to steam the cold noodles. The three of them were Zhang, Li and Zhou's mother, and Chen's mother helped to light the fire.
The assembling was done by the brothers Zhou Dahai and Zhou Dahe. Mr. Chen was also curious about the stamping machine, so he joined in tinkering with it.
Chen Xiuying, who was supposed to be frying chili oil, was captured by Zhou Dajiang at this moment. She and Zhou Sisi were attending the Rocket Literacy Class, while Ang'er was secretly learning from them.
Tietou and Suotou took their younger brothers and sisters and did not go back. The younger ones were practicing drawing. The sample drawings were prepared by Zhou Sisi. If they made a mistake, they could just wipe the sand table and draw again. It didn't cost any money.
The two older brothers were doing the homework their uncle had given them during the day. Since they were not very good at math, their uncle took special care of them.
They used white paper, and their mother said they were not allowed to go home until they finished their work, otherwise they would waste the money for buying paper! Grandma also said that if they didn't know how to do it again and wasted her paper, she would starve them until they were as thin as paper.
Woohoo, I feel so miserable! My mother doesn't love me, my grandma doesn't care about me, my life is as fragile as paper! My life is as fragile as paper!
At this moment, the sound of horse hooves was heard outside, getting closer and closer, and finally someone knocked on the door.
Everyone stopped what they were doing and looked towards the door.
Zhou Dahai went to open the door, and a soldier saluted him and asked, "Excuse me, is this Zhou Dajiang's residence?"
Zhou Dajiang also came out of the house and said, "I'm Zhou Dajiang. May I ask who you are?"
The man said, "I am the Zhaowu Captain under the command of the general at the border. My surname is Dong, you can just call me Captain Dong." After saying that, he showed his ID card.
After looking at the ID card, Zhou Dajiang knew that it was not a bad guy in disguise, so he felt relieved and let the person in to talk.
After Captain Dong came in, several people followed him in. One of them was wearing a cloak and his face was hidden in the hat and could not be seen clearly.
Captain Dong said, "We're here today because we received a letter from Magistrate Lin. He said you saved a child and asked if I could see him. Don't worry, we're just going to see him, not take him away."
