Chapter 162 My attitude is very correct, I just want to marry you!
Shen Bohang, who had never carried water before, didn't know how to control the rhythm well. When he carried the water home, only half a bucket was left.
Zhou Gui looked at the water in the bucket and sized up Shen Bohang: "Last time you said that you have superb cooking skills, not inferior to the chefs in the restaurant. My mother is old and it is hard for her to cook. You should go to your home ground and show your strength."
Shen Bohang, who could only barely cook the rice, was shocked and worried that the situation would get worse. He stammered, "Well... Actually... I just learned to do housework not long ago. I didn't want to disappoint you, so I boasted. I'm sorry..."
Zhou Gui: "I've said before, I hate people lying the most."
Shen Bohang: "I know, I didn't mean it. I'm the youngest in the family, and my mother loves me and doesn't let me work. We used to have a nanny to do those chores, but she was fired in the past two years because of the tight situation.
Actually, I don’t know how to do housework. I only started learning after I met you. I can assure you that I will learn all the housework as soon as possible and do it better and better. "
Shen Bohang is handsome, modest and polite. Zhou's mother likes him very much. She is worried that Zhou Gui is too stubborn and will embarrass everyone, so she rushes out to smooth things over: "Xiao Shen's attitude is very good. Just because you are willing to do housework for my Si Gui family, I am optimistic about you!
You don't need to help in the kitchen, just stay here and chat with your uncle, the meal will be ready soon."
Zhou's father was also very satisfied with Shen Bohang, but he was worried that he would be like Yang Jinlin, saying one thing in public and doing another behind the scenes, so he deliberately took out a butcher knife and sharpened it in the yard.
He also asked Shen Bohang to help.
Father Zhou pointed to a few knives in the bamboo basket and asked, "Do you recognize these knives?"
Shen Bohang swallowed nervously: "I know... for killing pigs..."
Father Zhou took out the knives from the basket one by one and fiddled with them, explaining their uses to Shen Bohang: "This one is for bleeding; this one is for removing bones; this one is a machete, no matter how hard the bone is, it can be cut in half with one chop.
These knives have been with me for many years, like my relatives, and countless amounts of blood have flowed under their blades.
I'm not a very capable person. All I want in my life is to ensure that your aunt and Sigui and the others have enough food and clothing. I don't ask for anything else. If anyone dares to bully my wife and children, I will fight him to the death.
Can you understand what my uncle is saying?"
Shen Bohang nodded repeatedly: "Please rest assured, Uncle, from now on Ah Gui is everything to me, whatever she says is what it is, I will never hurt her!"
Father Zhou: "I hope you can keep your word. If you dare to break your promise, I will cut off all your meat and stew it."
Shen Bohang: “!!!…”
Zhou Jiahua, Zhou Jiashun, Zhou Chuanxiang and others were also called to the Zhou family for dinner today. Everyone arrived one after another, and the yard was soon crowded with people.
Only then did Shen Bohang realize that what Zhou Gui had told him before, that the Zhou family was a large family, with not much of anything but a lot of people, was not an exaggeration.
When Zhou Chuanxiang and his friends learned of Shen Bohang's identity, they first warned him not to bully Zhou Gui, otherwise the men of the Zhou family would beat him to a pulp. Then they pulled him aside to smoke and chat about all sorts of things.
Shen Bohang was nervous and scared at the beginning, but gradually he relaxed and found these straightforward Zhou family members quite interesting. He took the initiative to share some interesting things he knew...
Zhou Rong looked at their enthusiastic conversation and whispered to Zhou Gui: "He should have accepted our family culture. Your wedding date will probably be soon."
Zhou Gui said coquettishly: "Who said I want to marry him? He hasn't even learned how to do housework yet!"
Zhou Rong: "Some people have no talent for housework. I'm so worried that you'll have to wait forever."
Zhou Gui: “…”
During the meal, the men in the Zhou family wanted to drink with Shen Bohang one by one.
Shen Bohang can't drink much, and his face turned red after a few drinks.
The first time he visited the house, he got the person drunk. Who knows what the other person's parents will think of the Zhou family. After Shen Bohang drank three cups, Zhou's mother stopped him from drinking and forbade others to toast him.
Everyone just drank soda instead.
Shen Bohang kept burping from drinking. He felt that he had made a big fool of himself today. He didn't know whether his future grandparents would dislike him...
After the dinner, Zhou's mother gave Shen Bohang a red envelope containing 18.8 yuan.
Shen Bohang refused, and Zhou's mother said, "Take it! This is a little gift from auntie, don't think it's too little, come to our house often when you have time."
Shen Bohang wanted to refuse, but Zhou Gui pulled him and signaled him to accept it.
When sending Shen Bohang out of Chang'anli, Zhou Gui said, "You can see my family. They are all uneducated farmers. They are not on the same level as your scholarly family. If you have any ideas, you can tell me directly. I can accept anything."
Shen Bohang burped a soda, covered his mouth embarrassedly, and said, "Then I want to marry you, will you agree?"
Zhou Gui: "...I am talking to you seriously, please correct your attitude."
Shen Bohang: "My attitude is very upright, I just want to marry you!
Didn’t I tell you that I also have rural relatives? Your father, your uncle, and your brother are so well-educated compared to my relatives.
To be honest, I envy you a lot. Your family treats you very well and is willing to give up everything for you. Our Shen family looks glamorous on the outside, but we are not united enough and everyone lives their own life.
My grandfather has three children. My uncle went to Kyoto to attend university and has stayed there ever since. He now teaches at Kyoto University. My cousin and his family have also settled in Kyoto. My younger aunt married and moved to another province, and we have rarely been in contact over the years.
When those relatives in the countryside couldn't find my uncle and aunt and had difficulties at home, they would come to my parents for help and keep crying poor. They always felt that my family had a good life and it was their duty to help them.
My father is busy with work and is often not at home, so my mother has to deal with those relatives. My mother is an educated person and cannot save face, but she feels unhappy when others take advantage of her and often sulks at home.
Although your family's current material conditions are ordinary, you are united and enterprising. A family like this will be able to turn things around within two generations.
If our Shen family's relatives were like your Zhou family, the Shen family's achievements would be far greater than what they are today."
Zhou Gui: "Are you speaking from your heart?!"
Shen Bohang: "Of course! I'd be lying to you like a puppy!"
Zhou Gui pursed her lips and smiled: "Study hard at housework when you go back, and try to learn it as soon as possible. Don't lie to me again in the future."
Shen Bohang: “Hey!”
Qin Yanhua wanted to know the result of her son's first visit, so she waited anxiously in Shen Bohang's dormitory.
When he saw Shen Bohang, he asked hurriedly, "How is it? Is everything going well?"
Shen Bohang told Qin Yanhua everything that happened to him in the Zhou family, including the red envelope given by Zhou's mother.
Qin Yanhua smiled and said: "Giving a red envelope is a sign of recognition. Although you behaved carelessly, fortunately your mother and others are generous and don't care about you.
You went to Zhou's house as a guest and received a red envelope from them. In return, invite Zhou Gui to your home for dinner in a few days, and I will give her a red envelope as well."
Shen Bohang: "Okay, we'll just have dinner together. I'll inform Dad in advance and ask him not to work overtime that day. Don't invite anyone else, especially those relatives from the countryside. Don't call them, so as not to scare Zhou Gui."
Qin Yanhua: "I know, I won't find trouble for myself!"
