Chapter 228: Chapter 164

Zhao Dashan quickly took the buns from his wife’s hands and said, "You two ladies go back first, we’ll handle these things. It’s about time, let the mother and daughter go back first, and come back tomorrow morning." After speaking, he made a surprised expression while pointing at the buns in his hands and looking at his wife.

Cheng Hongli couldn’t help but laugh at his winking and wide eyes, "Shanshan bought a lot, afraid you’d be hungry, and some for Little Ya to take back."

Zhou Xiaozheng took the quilt from Lin Lishan’s arms and said to her, "You go inside and rest with them first, I’ll handle this, pack some buns and steamed buns for Little Ya to take back early, so they can come back early tomorrow."

Lin Lishan nodded and smiled at him, "Brother Zheng, I forgot about the homespun, lucky we checked today, otherwise using that fabric for curtains would be a waste."

Zhou Xiaozheng, holding the quilt, joked, "Oh, our Shanshan is talking about waste. No matter, come out more often with new clothes for you two, dressed up beautifully. People will wonder, where did these two young ladies come from?"

"What nonsense are you talking about, young ladies." She said, blushing, glanced sideways, luckily Zhao Dashan and his wife didn’t hear, stomped her feet, and ran inside.

Zhou Xiaozheng ran back and forth three times to put everything in the bedroom, washed his hands, and sat next to Zhao Dashan eating a bun, "Tastes good, our buns here are generously stuffed."

After eating the bun, Zhao Dashan nodded, "Brother Zheng, bought almost enough, right? There’s a lot of stuff, just the fabric alone is plenty inside, one bolt after another, how much are you planning to make?"

"Initially didn’t plan to buy homespun, they probably saw it was nice and cheap and bought it for curtains and bed linens. What’s left over will be for clothes. Women never think they have too many clothes, make a few more sets for your daughter’s family later."

Lin Lishan and her companion came in and overheard, joining in, "Brother Zheng, you really understand women. Don’t worry, I’ve already talked to Shanshan, once she’s sorted everything out here tomorrow, we’ll go together to the alley to find someone to make clothes."

Zhou Xiaozheng looked at Lin Lishan, "Have they all left? Are they coming themselves tomorrow? They’re both pretty good, if Jiao Jiao wants to do a big clean, have them wash big items, with Jiao Jiao’s small frame better not toss around." After speaking, he saw his wife nod, and smiled with satisfaction.

"Go check what needs to be taken back to the village, set it aside, we’ll take it out later."

Hearing this, Lin Lishan pulled Cheng Hongli into the bedroom, "We’re going inside, you see what you need, pick some to take back, the military stuff, the material is pretty good."

"Sure, I won’t be polite, I know you don’t lack these things."

Entering the bedroom, Lin Lishan opened the wardrobe, took out two quilts and put them on the bed, letting her pick herself. Cheng Hongli saw the wardrobe stuffed full and felt embarrassed to take more, only eyeing the surplus boots and backpacks, since her son is quite fond of these, and there happened to be enough for Xiao Wu to wear.

Zhou Xiaozheng pulled him to sit, "Why fret over women’s matters, sit tight, didn’t you see the truckloads this afternoon? Just Xiao Wu and Jiao Jiao can’t wear it all, your sister-in-law bought a lot of fabric besides. Women know best, it’s not even anything that can’t be taken, if you need more the military district has plenty, it’s just on the way back."

Zhao Dashan saw Lin Lishan had already run off, while his wife stood still, and said helplessly with a smile, "Go ahead, since it’s already moved, check what Brother Zheng has that’s rare and take it back, no need to be polite."

Cheng Hongli laughed heartily, still calling out as she walked, "What Brother Zheng has is all precious, you’ll take it all."

Zhou Xiaozheng pretended to be angry, glaring at her, "Look at your wife, aren’t you going to manage your wife?"

"My wife’s way of preferring the inside is quite good. Now this woman is overjoyed, my two sons kept asking me for full military uniforms and boots, carrying military packs, saying they look impressive. Finally sought one last year, but the good boy wore out the boots in less than a year, and I have no idea where he runs off to every day."

"It’s good for boys to be a bit rough, obedient is for girls. Your two sons are twins, right? They’re about nineteen or twenty now? Have they started working?"

Zhao Dashan sighed, "Nineteen, one got into a provincial city university, the second is still at home undecided, I want him to enlist, but he’s unwilling, said Xiao Wu isn’t going so it must not be good. Haha, I gave him a beating, but he’s still unsure. Planning to have him try with Yuanyuan for exams again next year, if not then he agreed to follow my arrangement. His grades aren’t good, unlikely next year. Without the steadiness of the elder, I plan to take him to the unit to follow Xiao Wu."
