Chapter 436 As a man
Chapter 436. As a man
"Tsk tsk. The two of you really don't take the surrounding into account." Zhou Gui Lai shook his head.
"What? Did someone find you ugly?" Lin Qing He asked.
Both of the brothers got their dad's and appeared a little mature, they weren't ugly. On the contrary, they looked more manly and masculine.
Otherwise, why would Zhu Zhen Zhen from old Zhu Family and Zhang Mei Lian want to hit on her eldest in the first place?
Let's not talk about these rotten peach blossoms. The most important part, it can Mother Weng be satisfied with. So there was no problem.
"Who would think I'm ugly? It's just that when I look in the mirror, I feel it's too rush." Zhou Gui Lai answered.
Then the conversation soon changed. He continued to denounce his eldest brother: "Now that Eldest Brother becomes so dark, he seems to be about to be the same age as Dad. Mom, you have to strike while it's early. Otherwise, he might really be a bachelor in the future."
"With your mouth, such a golden bachelor become disdained like that." Zhou Xuan chipped in.
"Second Brother, don't talk. You already got the best benefit, understand? Why did my mother birth you to look like her and didn't leave me any of her genes." Zhou Gui Lai complained.
Zhou Xuan laughed.
Aunt Ma said: "Your brothers are all good-looking. Don't worry about getting a wife. As long as the girl got a good eye, they will like you."
"Granny Ma, you got the best eyesight. If you are forty years younger, then I would come to your house every day to eat." Zhou Gui Lai said.
"If I was forty years younger, then I won't choose you. I'll choose your second brother." Aunt Ma merrily chuckled.
Zhou Gui Lai's heart broke.
It was seven o'clock. Aunt Ma was getting off work. The old lady came here to wash the dishes and was really happy to. All chatters and laughter and the day passed. She had a good time.
Zhou Er Ni, Hu Zi, and Gang Zi came over for dinner after getting off work.
After eating, they carried over the pre-packaged food for others to eat.
In winter, it closed at 6 o'clock. Now it was summer, Lin Qing He's clothing store closed at 9 o'clock in the evening.
Ma Cheng Min watched one store by himself. Chen Shan Shan watched another store. Also, the newcomer was ready to take over Zhou Er Ni's shop. The newcomer at Chen Shan Shan's side would also come over and the two newcomers would watch one store.
Cheng Yang and Cheng Yue couldn't be free up time at the beverage shop either.
So Lin Qing He asked Zhou Qing Bai to include the dinner.
Ma Cheng Min's side was included. This can be regarded as a benefit.
After adding it up, these shops of Lin Qing He were understaffed. Even when they took turns taking days off, they had to transfer people from other shops to replace them.
That's why Lin Qing He wanted to call Zhou Si Ni over.
After eating, Hu Zi went to deliver food to everyone. One meat and two side dishes were packed in lunch boxes. This was definitely enough.
After the meal was delivered, Hu Zi, Gang Zi, and Er Ni have to attend evening classes.
Lin Qing He had asked Ma Cheng Min to recruit people. She planned to recruit three more. If she reserved a spot for Si Ni, it will be four.
At that time, it will be more standardized. It will not be as tight as it was now.
Zhou Kai made way to his grandparent's side by himself.
When he arrived, Mother Zhou was feeding little girl Tian Tian. The little girl got an appetite. If this was in the famine years, this little girl would be disdained.
"Grandmother." Zhou Kai called out when he came in.
Mother Zhou froze and looked over. Then delight lit up on her face: "Da Wa?"
"En." Zhou Kai grinned.
"Why are you back so soon? I heard Fourth Sister-in-law say that it'll be a while longer." Zhou Xiao Mei said happily.
"I came back early." Zhou Kai replied.
Mother Zhou gave the bowl to Zhou Xiao Mei and told her to feed her herself. She asked her grandson: "Have you eaten it? If you haven't eaten yet, I will make noodles with egg for you!"
"I have. My mom made several dishes for me." Zhou Kai smiled.
"It's eight o'clock now. It's too late. Come tomorrow at noon. Grandmother had raised a lot of chickens. I will kill one in the morning and stew it for you at noon. The bones will be stewed until soft. It'll be delicious." Mother Zhou said.
"Okay." Zhou Kai responded with a smile.
"Your grandmother has raised a lot of chickens for you. Especially waited for you to come back and feed you one every day." Zhou Xiao Mei said.
"Definitely need nourishment. Look how dark and thin you become?" Mother Zhou remarked.
"One chicken a day is too extravagant. It's enough for you to stew me one every three days." Zhou Kai responded. Then he asked, "Where is my grandfather?"
"Your grandfather went to the bathhouse with your god-grandfather. Just left before you came." Mother Zhou answered.
"Then I will go too. I will take a bath." Zhou Kai said.
"Then go. Come back afterward. Later, Grandmother will cook you a bowl of noodles with an egg." Mother Zhou's love for her grandson was particularly strong. She always got to express it.
Zhou Kai smiled and agreed.
He jogged home to get the clothes and checked with the other guys. Zhou Gui Lai was going to take the college entrance examination tomorrow, so he joined him on the bath trip today.
The two came to the bathhouse to find Father Zhou and old Wang.
The two were overjoyed to see Zhou Kai coming back.
"When did you come back? Have you eaten yet?" Old Wang and Father Zhou both asked.
"I have eaten. I heard that you both came to the bathhouse when I was at my grandmother's house and I brought along Third." Zhou Kai responded, then threw the towel to his brother and let him scrubbed his back.
Zhou Gui Lai said, "Brother, did you see that? Everyone is watching you. The whole bathhouse. Not even the miners are as dark as you."
Zhou Kai's tanning couldn't be avoided even with the clothes blocking. Completely bronze all over. The kind that will reflect light.
"Let them see if they want to. It's fine as long they don't feel inferior." Zhou Kai replied.
A grown young lad. Despite being tanned, his figure was top-notch with eight packs. It was the kind that a man feel inferior and a woman scream.
"Hehe, then you go around and make them feel inferior." Zhou Gui Lai grinned and said with a filthy smile.
"Do your scrubbing." Zhou Kai stated.
Zhou Gui Lai rubbed his back. Once done, he let his eldest brother rub him. Father Zhou and old Wang were also scrubbing their backs.
This was how it went in the bathhouse. One had to call someone to join them or check if anyone else came by themselves.
Although it hurt when being scrubbed, it felt quite comfortable after rubbing.
Father Zhou and old Wang asked how long Zhou Kai could stay this time. Zhou Kai also explained in detail.
As for Zhou Kai being tanned, they don't care. As a man, being dark was being dark. What did it matter?
"I wonder if Wang Yuan will have time tomorrow. If he does, let's get him to take us to the hot springs. I'll treat you." Old Wang changed the topic.
"Who is Wang Yuan?" Zhou Kai wondered.
He hadn't been back for almost a year. Even until now, he didn't know about Xu Sheng Mei's marriage. Let alone about the relationship between Zhou Er Ni and Wang Yuan.
