"Eldest sister, eldest sister, let me propose a toast to you. Thank you for taking care of your parents during my absence."
Zhou Ziwen picked up the wine glass and toasted to the eldest sister and the second sister.
Watching Zhou Ziwen toasting, Chen Qiaoyi picked up the wine glass.
"You really should toast this glass of wine. Your eldest and second sister have taken care of you since you were a child!"
Dad Zhou looked at this scene with a smile.
"What are you saying, little brother? We should take care of our parents. Besides, our parents are still young! Why do they need us to take care of them!"
The second sister is outspoken and speaks out without hiding anything.
"Yes, Ziwen, you should take care of your parents, but you have suffered a lot in the countryside, right?"
The eldest sister asked with some distress.
“Sister, I have not endured hardship and lived a good life in the countryside.”
Zhou Ziwen respects his eldest sister very much.
It can be said that he was raised by his eldest sister.
When he was a child, his family was busy, so his sisters took care of him.
"Yes, eldest sister, we live a good life in the countryside without suffering any hardships."
Chen Qiaoyi also echoed from the side.
"Xiulan, don't be too anxious to feel sorry for your brother. Your brother is now the leader of the production team and oversees more than a hundred people!"
Dad Zhou explained proudly.
"Ah, my little brother is so good? Tell us, how did you become the team leader?"
The second sister asked in surprise.
In fact, Zhou Ziwen also mentioned being a team leader when he wrote to his family. The family thought he was the kind of team leader who would lead a few people to work together.
Unexpectedly, he, the team leader, was actually in charge of more than a hundred people.
The eldest brother, second brother and sisters-in-law on the side were also surprised.
Especially the two sisters-in-law, the way they looked at Zhou Ziwen was different.
In their impression, Zhou Ziwen was just a child who was coddled and grew up.
While it’s not bad, it’s not much better either.
But I didn't expect that after not seeing each other for just a year, he would actually become the team leader in the countryside.
They have heard a lot of rumors about educated youth going to the countryside.
But none of these rumors are good news.
Most of them are suffering in the countryside, being tired, not having enough to eat and not being well clothed.
“I’ll tell you, I’ll tell you.”
Chen Qiaoyi actively participated in the speech.
This girl is more lively. Although it is her first day at Zhou Ziwen's house, she has a sweet mouth, and both Father and Mother Zhou like her very much.
Just now I got together with Zhou Xiaomei, and I have long been familiar with this family.
Especially when it comes to Zhou Ziwen, it’s really exciting.
Chen Qiaoyi's eyes shone with excitement. She cleared her throat and began to tell Zhou Ziwen's deeds in the countryside.
"Actually, Brother Ziwen became the team leader after a lot of hard work. When he first arrived in the countryside, he was not familiar with the place, but he was not afraid of hardship or tiredness..." Chen Qiaoyi's voice was clear and clear, with a hint of pride. , "His abilities and conduct were quickly recognized by everyone, especially when he led everyone to grow mushrooms, which improved the economic benefits of the village. Everyone naturally chose him as the team leader..." Zhou Ziwen smiled and looked at Chen Qiaoyi's eyes were full of tenderness. He knew that although these words were exaggerated, they were also true.
“Our family Ziwen is really promising.” After hearing this, the eldest sister Zhou Xiulan showed a proud smile on her face.
Second sister Zhou Yaqin also nodded and praised: "Yes, little brother, you really impress us."
Dad Zhou even smiled from ear to ear: "I'm just saying, I My son will be fine. Ziwen, you did a good job and gave our parents face.”
The atmosphere at the dinner table became more lively. Sister-in-law Lin Xiaomei and second sister-in-law Liu Huifang no longer looked down upon Zhou Ziwen as they did before, and began to look at him in a new light.
The eldest brother and second brother were also surprised that Zhou Ziwen was doing so well in the countryside.
In their memories, their little brother can be described as being incompetent in both writing and martial arts.
It is not an exaggeration to say that I was spoiled by my parents.
Unexpectedly, after not seeing each other for just a year, their brother seemed to have changed into a completely different person.
After a lively dinner, the eldest brother and the second brother took their sister-in-law and children home.
With a few people missing, the house is a little cleaner.
When the eldest sister and the second sister were free, Zhou Ziwen had time to care about their situation.
"Eldest sister, second sister, I heard that you seem to be in love? Let me meet someday?"
Zhou Ziwen said curiously.
As soon as Zhou Ziwen finished speaking, the eldest sister Zhou Xiulan and the second sister Zhou Yaqin were both silent.
The eldest sister sighed softly and waved her hand gently: "Ziwen, don't mention it, it's still early for us to do things."
The second sister also smiled bitterly and shook her head: " Yes, little brother, our relationship is not as smooth as you and Yiyi's."
Zhou Ziwen was stunned. He could feel that both sisters seemed to have encountered something bad, so he asked with concern. Said: "Eldest sister, second sister, have you encountered any problems? If I can help, just say it."
Zhou Xiulan smiled slightly and felt warm to Zhou Ziwen's concern: "Ziwen, you We accept it. Actually, it’s nothing, it’s just that we are not satisfied emotionally, but we are still working hard.”
Zhou Yaqin was more direct: "Brother, emotional matters are very complicated, not as simple as you think. You and I, my second sister, have been on blind dates with several people before, but they were not suitable. Maybe I am too demanding. "
Zhou Ziwen listened carefully, and then said: "Second sister, I think you should be more demanding. After all, you are a person who wants to live a lifetime. Of course, you have to find the right one. What?"
Zhou Xiulan sighed: "My situation is similar to that of your second sister. I am not young anymore, and I want to find someone who is suitable for me, but there don't seem to be many such people."
"Then you don't have a partner now?"
Zhou Ziwen is a little strange. Speaking of which, his two sisters have good personalities and good looks. Talk about age!
The eldest sister is three years older than him and is only twenty this year. The second sister is two years older than him and is nineteen today.
Although in this era, everyone gets married relatively young, they are not old girls.
Zhou Ziwen's question made Zhou Xiulan and Zhou Yaqin look at each other and smile, with a hint of helplessness in their eyes.
“Ziwen, it’s not that we don’t want to find someone, it’s just that we really haven’t met the right person.” Zhou Xiulan explained patiently, “We don’t want to marry just anyone. After all, marriage is a lifelong matter. , we hope to find a partner who truly understands, respects and supports each other."
Zhou Yaqin continued: "Yes, little brother, you know that although our Zhou family is not rich, we have a strict family education. , we also hope that the other half can have similar values and attitudes toward life.”
Chen Qiaoyi gently held Zhou Ziwen's hand, expressing her understanding and support: "Sister, eldest sister, second sister, I support your decision. You really can't force your relationship, you must find the right person."
Dad Zhou also added: "Ziwen is right. Our Zhou family's daughters have no worries about getting married. Xiulan and Yaqin, take your time and don't make hasty decisions because of external pressure."
Mother Zhou also nodded in agreement: "That's right, my daughters are so good, they will definitely meet people who appreciate you. Don't be impatient and choose slowly."
Looking at the attitudes of Father Zhou and Mother Zhou , Zhou Ziwen finally knew that the eldest sister and the second sister had not found a partner yet.
To say that he is favored, the eldest sister and the second sister are actually not bad either! (End of chapter)
