Chapter 190. The earlier they move, the better
Aunt Cai, who married off four daughters, naturally understood what Mother Zhou meant.
Her daughter was at the right age for marriage. Mrs. Cai didn't want to marry this youngest daughter far away. So it went without saying that she checked everyone in her own village.
It just happened that Zhou Dong was on Mrs. Cai's list of candidates.
Mother Zhou just stopped it at hinting. After mentioning it, she switched to other gossips. Then she went back.
Mrs. Cai brought it up to her man.
"Say, why would Zhou's wife come and talk about this?" Mrs. Cai said.
"Zhou Dong has a good relationship with Zhou Qing Bai's family. That side is probably helping Zhou Dong consider. With our kind of family, Zhou Dong will have support in the future if he's going to marry our daughter. We don't need to worry about him bullying Ba Mei. I think it's wonderful." Old man Cai expressed.
Mrs. Cai grinned: "There is no worry that he'll bully Ba Mei. It's just, the life in the future. There's no backup?"
"We're all in the same village. What backup would they need? Ba Mei is soft-tempered. With Zhou Dong's kind of person, he won't bully her. We can consider." Old man Cai said.
When discussing marriage, the most feared thing was a single side enthusiasm. If both sides have such an intention, then it will be very swift.
Well, just two days later, Mrs. Cai discussed this matter with Mother Zhou. They need to find some time to let the two young people walk around the city?
Mother Zhou merrily said, "I can lend the bike at home to them. Just don't know if Zhou Dong knows how to ride it."
"That's wonderful. If this matter settles, I will have to give a red envelope to you, sister." Mrs. Cai grinned.
Mother Zhou was younger than her. However, with matchmaking, it was alright to accept a good omen reward so Mother Zhou did not refuse.
Then she passed the news to Lin Qing He.
Lin Qing He pushed the bike over. Zhou Dong couldn't ride it. Still, it's just riding a bike. It didn't take much for a grown man to learn, right?
He was on the road in half a day.
Initially, Zhou Dong could take Cai Ba Mei to town the next day but he was afraid that he would be too inexperienced and cause the other to crash to the ground.
So he just practiced for another day. Then he took Cai Ba Mei to the city by bike.
Both of them went out secretly. No one saw them. Once into the first month and the spring plowing hadn't officially started, old Cai's family held a joyous event.
Cai Ba Mei was going to marry Zhou Dong.
This made many people in the village stunned.
Because the two families had done a good job at confidentiality, no one heard a wisp of it. This sudden joyous event was about to be held had everyone in surprise.
When the surprise was over, some people in the village who were aiming for Cai Ba Mei scolded Zhou Dong for being no good.
This was really a person with a scheme. They actually never notice it before. He actually hooked Cai Ba Mei without anyone's awareness.
Old Cai Family had a good image. They were one of the families in the village with the cleanest background. Their reputation was excellent.
In addition, the sons above and below were all capable. They were clearly a large household. After marrying Cai Ba Mei, they can discuss if they ever encounter a problem in the future?
Who would have thought that Zhou Dong cut in before they could even mention it to their sons.
Others felt old Cai Family was clever.
They clearly targetted the fact that Zhou Dong had no one to back him up and won't bully Cai Ba Mei. That's why, they agreed to this marriage!
But anyway, in short, Zhou Dong's marriage with Cai Ba Mei was arranged before the spring plowing.
They didn't make it too grand. Just set two tables and invite the elders.
Zhou Qing Bai also participated, while Lin Qing He didn't. Even though Zhou Dong and Zhou Xi had both come over and invited her, it was enough for Zhou Qing Bai to go.
Once this happened, Mother Zhou received Zhou Dong's red envelope and a chicken.
Because it's what should be given to the matchmaker, she openly accepted.
Zhou Dong and Zhou Xi's current life wasn't as difficult as before. The brother and sister have a very good life. Now that Cai Ba Mei, a kind wife, entered the family, it will only get better and better in the future.
Lin Qing He did not pay too much attention, because she had already started class on the 20th of the first month.
Zhou Qing Bai, this bloke, wanted to be considerate of her and cook for her. It was fine to get this guy to hunt rabbits and pheasants. However, it was a herculean task for him to cook.
At most, he can make dumplings.
The food at home was made by Lin Qing He when she came back from work. Mother Zhou had everything prepared. She just needed to cook it when she came back.
In a blink of an eye, spring began on this day.
A variety of fruits and vegetables were planted in their backyard. For the whole summer, they have to rely on this vegetable garden in their own land.
On Second Sister's side, they were building a brick house this time. It can be said that it wasn't at the right time.
Everyone was busy with spring plowing. How can they help her?
However this time, Second Sister steeled her heart like she had eaten heavyweights. Even if everyone was occupied, she still persisted in building this brick house.
She had a very good reputation and popularity in the village. Because of her persistence, everyone worked harder.
After getting off work, they all went to help for half an hour to an hour.
The Second Brother-in-law came over that day.
He came here to ask Zhou Qing Bai to help him get some bricks.
Zhou Qing Bai went to work, while Lin Qing He went to class. Both weren't home. Mother Zhou was minding little Su Xun. Little Su Cheng went crazy with his Brother San Wa.
"You really know how to choose the time. At this time, everyone is very busy. How can they get the time to handle this for you? He has to ask for time off." Mother Zhou disgruntledly remarked.
Second Brother-in-law meekly said, "Just this time. I will definitely not trouble Qing Bai again."
The relationship at home was really strained. Not just Second Sister, even Second Brother-in-law, himself, didn't want to stay longer.
So even at this time, they wanted it to be built.
In fact, since the snow had melted, the construction had started over there. Now, most of it had been completed. Just some parts left. Since everyone was occupied, it took some time. Otherwise, they could actually build it in a month .
After all, it wasn't a big house.
"You go home first. I will tell Qing Bai when he comes back." Mother Zhou said.
With this, Second Brother-in-law went home first.
After Zhou Qing Bai got off work, Mother Zhou told him about this. She was quite speechless: "Can't even bear it this year. I thought that once they borrowed the money, they'll start building it when they are idle this year. Never thought they would build it just like this."
"He got beaten until this state. It's normal if they can't bear it. What's more, if they don't move out earlier, they might really grab a knife next time." Lin Qing He wasn't against it when she heard it.
"I'm not free these two days. The day after tomorrow's tomorrow, I'm going to buy fertilizer and pesticides. I can bring him a cart on the way." Zhou Qing Bai said.
"Alright. When he comes again, I will tell him." Mother Zhou nodded.
The next day, Second Brother-in-law came again. Mother Zhou truthfully passed on the words. Second Brother-in-law was very delighted to hear that, and said, "I really troubled Qing Bai."
"It's no trouble, we're all one family. It will be easier, once you move out in the future. Your parents are too biased. The earlier you move, the better." Mother Zhou responded.
