Chapter 500 You were born by your father, I was born by my mother
Shen Qingran brought some small gifts for each family member, such as scarves, hats, gloves, pens, biscuits, candies, etc.
Shen Bohang wore the scarf given by Shen Qingran, looked left and right in front of the mirror, and kept grinning.
Shen Chunheng pushed him away: "You've been gesturing for so long, move aside, Qingran bought me a hat and scarf, and I don't know how they work yet!"
Qin Yanhua did not argue with the father and son. She went into the room to get a small mirror to admire her scarf and gloves. But she still felt unsatisfied, so she deliberately went to the alley to chat with someone, and kept fiddling with her scarf and gloves with her hands.
Her actions quickly attracted everyone's attention. Someone noticed that she was wearing a new scarf and gloves, and they were of novel styles, and asked her where she bought them.
Qin Yanhua raised her head and said proudly: "My granddaughter brought it back from the United States. She said it is a fashionable product there, made of wool!
This child, when he is not in class, does odd jobs to earn US dollars, but is reluctant to spend the money he saves, and insists on buying these impractical things for us. It really makes us worry.”
Someone joked, "If you don't like it, just give it to me. I just happen to be in need of a scarf and gloves for winter. The two things your Qingran brought back from the United States are of good quality and look warm. I won't be afraid of the cold this winter!"
Another person said: "I have never worn anything made of wool. Give it a try!"
Qin Yanhua: "No, that won't do. This is something my granddaughter brought to me from the United States. It's her filial piety. How can I give it to you?!"
"Do you have any extra ones at home? Sell me one set, so I can experience what it feels like to wear foreign goods!"
Qin Yanhua: "We only have one set each, there are no extras, but Qingran brought some American candy, I can give it to you to try."
Qin Yanhua took out a dozen candies from her pocket and distributed them to the people present, which once again aroused waves of envy and praise.
As she got older, Qin Yanhua especially liked people praising her descendants for their abilities. If her children did something good or bought her food or other things, she wanted everyone to know about it. Every time she heard compliments, she would be happy for several days.
Zhou Gui came out to the toilet and witnessed Qin Yanhua's words and actions. He shook his head and laughed. The former serious teacher Qin had changed...
Zhong Jiawen gave birth to a daughter in early January 80 and named her Zhou Rui.
Because she was in confinement after giving birth, Zhou Qingping and her family did not come back to celebrate the New Year this year.
Zhou Jifan wrote a letter to Zhou Rong once a month, telling her that his sister was ugly and cried a lot, and often made him and Zhong Qiaoen unable to read or sleep.
He asked Zhou Rong if he could let his sister live in Chang'an and take her back when she stopped crying and making a fuss.
Zhou Rong wrote back to him, saying that a newborn baby is like a bird in a nest and needs protection from her parents and brother. Bad people outside will not bully her. When she grows up, she will become well-behaved and beautiful.
Zhou Rong sent two cans of milk powder to Zhong Jiawen and some fairy tale books to Zhou Jifan, asking him to tell stories to Zhou Rui every day, which could both show his love for his sister and distract her attention.
Zhou Jifan tried it a few times with doubt, and Zhou Rui was not as crying and making a fuss as before.
Qiao Dongjing said in surprise: "This method actually works, it's incredible!"
Zhong Jiawen: "It shows that Xiaorui is a child who loves to study. Our family will have another person who will bring glory to the country."
It was difficult to buy milk powder at the supply and marketing cooperative in Zhou Qingping's family quarters, and almost all of the baby's milk powder was sent by Zhou Rong.
Zhong Qiaoen had been drinking milk powder on and off for a while. He had just turned three years old, and when he smelled the fragrance from the milk powder can, he became greedy. While Zhong Jiawen and Qiao Dongjing were talking, he quietly opened the can, dipped his hand in some milk powder and put it in his mouth.
The sweet taste made him want to eat more. He used his body to block the milk powder can and kept dipping his body into the milk powder.
Zhou Jifan noticed his little trick and dodged the milk powder can: "This is for your sister. You are already grown up and can't eat it."
Zhong Qiaoen: "I am only three years old. I am not grown up yet. I can eat. Only by eating can I grow up."
Zhou Jifan: "Grandma said that mom doesn't have enough milk, so this milk powder is for your sister. If you eat it, she will be gone. If you really want to eat, ask dad to send you to grandma. Grandma has milk powder at home, so you can eat as much as you want."
Zhong Qiaoen: "You want to give me away to save milk powder? When I was helping you sweep the floor, you said we were brothers!"
Zhou Jifan: "...That's grandma's home, and it's also your home. You're going back to your own home, how can you be given away?
Do you want to eat milk powder? If you want to eat it, go to grandma's house. She has endless milk powder, milk candy, fruit, biscuits, and anything you have never eaten, you can eat at her place. "
Zhong Qiaoen was a little moved, and said in a tangled way: "Grandma's house is too far away. If I go there, I won't be able to see my parents and grandpa and grandma. Can I let grandma live with us?"
Zhou Jifan: "Grandma has to go to work and can't come. We have soldiers guarding here, and people from outside can't come in."
Zhong Qiaoen: "Then write a letter to grandma and ask her to send more milk powder, candies, biscuits, and all the delicious food in her house."
Zhou Jifan: "I just wrote a letter a few days ago. This month's quota has been used up. If you want me to write another letter, you can help me sweep the floor for a month and wash my shorts and socks for a month."
Zhong Qiaoen: "Humph! I knew you were born by your father and I was born by my mother, we are not brothers!
Other brothers help their younger brothers with work, but you always blame me for your work. If you don’t want to write a letter, forget it. I’ll ask mom to write it!”
Zhou Jifan, who failed in the negotiation: "......"
Qiao Dongjing and Zhong Jiawen laughed as they listened to the bickering between the two. They had explained to Zhong Qiaoen that the reason he and Zhou Jifan had different surnames was that Zhou Qingping and Zhong Jiawen both wanted to have one child, so they let the eldest child have the surname Zhou and the second child have the surname Zhong.
Zhong Qiaoen was young and didn't understand much. When he was playing with his friends in the family compound, he was often asked why he didn't have his father's surname and whether he was an adopted child.
He explained it several times, but others didn't understand and asked him repeatedly. He was annoyed by everyone and said that he was born by his mother and his brother was born by his father, so they had different surnames.
This reason was accepted by the children, and Zhong Qiaoen himself also thought it was reasonable. Every time he had a quarrel with Zhou Jifan, he would use this to fight back in order to gain favorable conditions for himself...
Zhong Jiawen didn't want the two brothers to fall out, so she did some ideological work on Zhou Jifan and promised not to confiscate the red envelopes during the New Year. Then, in front of Zhong Qiaoen, he wrote a letter to Zhou Rong.
After writing, he read the contents of the letter again and asked Zhong Qiaoen if he had missed anything.
Zhong Qiaoen was very happy when he saw that his elder brother had listed all the things he wanted to eat and also provided some unexpected toys.
Even without him saying it, his eldest brother knew what he wanted. They are indeed brothers!
