Zhou Family Daughter-in-law — 3

　　Zhang Xiaoyan changed her clothes, went downstairs, and found Zhou Sinian, who was helping to light the fire in the kitchen.

　　Several other men were also busy, some were killing chickens, some were killing fish, and some were washing vegetables.

　　”Dad, let me help you!” Zhang Xiaoyan rolled her eyes, moved a small stool to the door, and sat next to Old Man Zhou.

　　Father Zhou waved his hands hurriedly: “No, no, go sit over there and play…”

　　”It’s okay, Dad!” Zhang Xiaoyan smiled widely and imitated him in picking the cabbage. Zhou Lao Dad wanted to persuade her, but when he looked up, he saw the deep cleavage of her plump breasts caused by her squatting down to operate…

　　Old Man Zhou’s face flushed with anxiety, and he raised his head hurriedly, “Xiao, Xiao Yan…you’d better stop doing it…”

　　Zhang Xiaoyan blinked, seemingly unaware of his embarrassment, “Dad, do you think I didn’t do well enough?”

　　Old Man Zhou shook his head vigorously. “No, it’s just that I’m afraid you’ll get your hands dirty…” Her fingers were long and slender, white and tender like scallions. They wouldn’t look good if they were stained with dirt. She was a princess from the city, unlike the other girls in the village.

　　Zhang Xiaoyan glanced at her hands and asked with a soft smile, “Daddy, you’re so nice. Do you think my hands are pretty?”

　　Old Man Zhou nodded subconsciously.

　　Her hands were delicate and tender, unlike her own rough and black hands. They were indeed beautiful. Zhang Xiaoyan’s eyes flashed, and she grabbed his hand, gently stroking her fingers across the rough palm of Old Man Zhou’s hand. “Dad, you have so many calluses on your hands. It must be very hard work.”

　　Knowing that his future daughter-in-law was just being kind, but when her breasts unconsciously touched his palm slightly, Old Man Zhou felt a surge of electricity, his face flushed, and he hurriedly pulled his hand back, “No, it’s okay, people in the countryside are like this…”

　　”Don’t worry, Dad. Si Nian and I will be filial to you in the future.” Zhang Xiaoyan smiled softly. She felt a little guilty for seducing this honest old man Zhou…

　　Old Man Zhou lowered his head, like a child who had made a mistake, not daring to look at her, nor did he notice the change in her eyes. He only nodded with deep emotion at her words.

　　Zhang Xiaoyan’s eyes moved up and down his body. Old Man Zhou was only fifty-six years old now. He was tall and strong as a bear, which was rare among the mountain people. In fact, the facial features of the Zhou family were quite good. When Old Man Zhou was young, he was the most handsome boy in the village, so he married the most beautiful girl in the village. However, his skin was tanned and shiny due to years of hard work.

　　Her eyes swept over to Old Man Zhou’s crotch again, and she couldn’t help but feel the burning anticipation… With such a strong body and having given birth to five sons, she was sure that thing would not disappoint her!

　　After two hours of frantic work, several grown men finally prepared lunch. Zhang Xiaoyan was stunned by the bowls of meat and vegetables on the table. Zhou Sinian smiled and said, “Xiaoyan, you must be hungry. Come eat.”

　　Zhang Xiaoyan glanced at him and said, “Although I’m a carnivore, this is too much. Are you treating me like a pig?”

　　Zhou Sinian said, “How dare I? Dad is worried that he might not be able to entertain you well, so…”

　　Zhang Xiaoyan looked at Old Man Zhou and said with a smile, “Dad, you don’t have to treat me like a guest anymore. After graduation, I plan to marry Si Nian… so there’s no need to be so extravagant.”

　　Her words shocked the whole family, and Zhou Sinian was also stunned.

　　”Xiao Yan, are you serious?” Zhou Sinian grabbed her hand excitedly, unable to believe it.

　　”Otherwise, why would I go home with you for the New Year, you idiot!” Zhang Xiaoyan punched him lightly on the arm and said angrily, “Or do you just want to play with me and don’t want to marry me?”

　　”Of course, of course not!” Zhou Sinian felt that happiness came too suddenly. Zhang Xiaoyan took the initiative to propose to go home with him for the New Year. Naturally, he had some delusions, but most people thought that she was just curious, just like most city people, who were curious about the countryside. When the countryside really arrived and the novelty disappeared, those fantasy expectations of the Utopia countryside would turn into disappointment.

　　So he never dared to fantasize that she could be with him until the end. She was a peacock girl and he was a phoenix boy, the most incompatible match. But even though he knew it, when she took the initiative to pursue him, Zhou Sinian still couldn’t help but be moved.

　　”Dad, why don’t you say anything?” Zhou Sinian couldn’t help but ask when he saw that his father was just frowning.

　　Old Man Zhou raised his eyelids, glanced at Zhang Xiaoyan, and sighed, “Xiaoyan is a good girl, but our family… why did you marry her…” He was originally worried that Zhang Xiaoyan would dislike the Zhou family, but it turned out that the girl not only did not dislike them, but also took the initiative to propose marriage. This surprised him and he was very moved, but more of a guilty conscience. He looked up at the beams of the house.

　　Nowadays, when a girl gets married, she asks for a car and a house. If the girl doesn’t ask, will they do nothing? Why are his four sons still single? Isn’t it because the girls dislike this mountain village and don’t want to marry into it? And the women in the village have already married off.

　　Zhou Sinian looked up and saw that the old house was made of stone. Although it was solid, it was also dilapidated. He looked at his beautiful girlfriend and felt a pang in his heart.

　　Seeing his gloomy expression, Zhou Gui glanced at him, then at Zhang Xiaoyan. When he saw her fair, oval face, he suddenly felt a strong urge to keep her, so he blurted out, “Dad, little brother, don’t worry about the house. When the new year starts, the hundreds of thousands of yuan I’ve saved can be used to renovate the house. They will definitely have a house to live in when they get married…”

　　Father Zhou was shocked when he heard this, “Fourth Brother, that’s the money you’re going to use to marry a wife, how can you take it out!”

　　Zhou Sinian also frowned and said, “Fourth brother, how can I still use your money?”

　　The four Zhou brothers had contributed money every year to support his education until he was admitted to a prestigious university. During this time, he already owed them too much. How could he still ask for their wives’ money? His original intention was to discuss marriage with Xiao Yan and wait a few years before discussing it.

　　”Dad, I’m thirty-four now. What woman would be willing to marry me? How can I marry a good woman with the little money I’ve saved? Now that you have a good girl like Xiaoyan, do you want to delay yourself until old age like the four of us?” Zhou Gui glanced at Zhang Xiaoyan and found that she was looking at him with bright eyes, which contained a smile and seemed to be filled with affection.

　　Zhou Gui felt a strange throbbing in his heart, and the thought of that snow-white body came to his mind, and the feeling of wanting her to stay became even stronger. He didn’t know what he was expecting, but he just didn’t want her to leave.

　　”The fourth brother is right. Let’s prepare to build a new house before the New Year. I’ll take out the hundreds of thousands of dollars I’ve saved… and see what my sister-in-law thinks. If she wants to live in town, we’ll buy land there and build it. If she wants to live here, we’ll build it here…” The eldest brother Zhou Chao, who had been silent all this time, spoke. He was already forty years old. Although he had worked hard to save money to get married, he knew in his heart that he would be a bachelor forever.

　　”And me, too!” The third brother, Zhou Qiang, unwilling to be left behind, raised his hand, “It’s okay for us to be single, but we can’t let the fifth brother follow suit. Otherwise, our Zhou family will be wiped out!”

　　The second son, Zhou Yong, smiled and said, “Dad, let’s just leave it at that. Fifth brother, you don’t have to think too much about it. We’ll all be living together anyway, and it’s not all for you…”
