Era: Winning since educated youth went to the countryside

When Zhou's father heard the compliments from his coworkers, he smiled. "This kid was very naughty when he was young. He went to the countryside to replace his sister this time. He is quite responsible."

"Old Zhou, you are too modest. How can this be called responsibility? Going to the countryside as an educated youth is not a good thing. Some people even become enemies in order to avoid going to the countryside. This son is really good. He is responsible and will definitely have a bright future."

An older worker patted Zhou's father on the shoulder and said approvingly.

Father Zhou smiled and waved his hands: "No, no, he still has a lot to learn."

Although he said that, it can be seen from Zhou's father's expression that he is in a very good mood.

Zhou Ziwen stood aside, watching the interaction between his father and his fellow workers, and felt a little amused.

He also didn't expect that his father, who was always serious, had such a side to him.

"Dad, it's getting late, let's go home. Mom and your daughter-in-law are still waiting for us." Zhou Ziwen reminded.

"Okay, okay, let's go now."

When he heard the word "daughter-in-law", Dad Zhou stopped chatting with his coworkers. He said hello to them and turned away.

"My son is back, so I'm going back today."

"Brother Zhou, go back soon and spend more time with your son." The co-workers responded enthusiastically.

Dad Zhou wiped the sweat off his shoulders with the towel, then walked out of the workshop with Zhou Ziwen.

They walked out of the factory gate, and Zhou Ziwen couldn't help feeling emotional when he saw the environment in which his father worked.

"Dad, you've worked hard." Zhou Ziwen said softly.

Working in a factory is actually quite tiring, especially for a practical person like Dad Zhou.

You need both skills and strength.

Father Zhou waved his hand: "It's not hard. Others want to work so hard but still can't get in!"

The father and son talked as they walked, and Zhou Ziwen told his father about his life in the countryside.

Dad Zhou listened carefully and nodded in agreement from time to time.

"Ziwen, you have grown up." Zhou's father is not good at speaking, but just by listening to Zhou Ziwen's story, he knows that life in the countryside is very hard.

Zhou Ziwen had never suffered any hardship since he was a child. Although Zhou Ziwen only talked about the good things, Zhou Liming knew that his son must have suffered a lot.

In order to entertain Zhou Ziwen and the Chen sisters, Zhou Liming took a detour and brought Zhou Ziwen to the entrance of Quanjude.

"Dad, are you going to buy roast duck?" Zhou Ziwen asked in surprise.

Quanjude’s roast duck is not cheap. Just one duck costs at least eight yuan, and in addition to the money, you also need a ticket.

"Well, it's rare that you guys come back, so let your wife and the others try some authentic Beijing roast duck. She's pregnant now, so she needs to nourish herself well." Zhou Liming nodded.

If it were any other time, he would definitely not be willing to buy it, but his son had returned from the countryside and his daughter-in-law was pregnant, so as a father, he certainly would not be reluctant.

As he was talking, Zhou Liming walked into Quanjude, took out money and tickets from his pocket, and bought a tempting Peking duck.

The father and son carried the roast duck and walked home.

On the way, Zhou Limin turned his head to look at Zhou Ziwen and asked softly, "Ziwen, what's Qiaoyi's personality like? Is she easy to get along with?"

Zhou Ziwen smiled and said, "Dad, Qiaoyi has a good personality, she is well-behaved and cute, and she is also considerate to me."

Zhou Limin nodded and asked, "What does she like? As her father-in-law, I can prepare some for her in the future."

Zhou Ziwen thought for a moment and replied, "Qiaoyi likes small things, like pretty handkerchiefs, unique hairpins, and the like."

"Oh, so that's it." Zhou Liming thought.

Then, Zhou Limin turned the topic to Chen Qiaoyi's pregnancy. "Ziwen, Qiaoyi has been pregnant for more than four months. You have to take better care of her and don't let her get tired."

Zhou Ziwen nodded seriously: "Dad, I know, I am usually very careful."

Zhou Limin continued, "We have to be careful with this firstborn. We have to be more careful with the food and things it uses." "Yes, Dad, don't worry."

The father and son chatted all the way and soon arrived home.

In the kitchen, Zhou Ma and Chen Shiying were busy cooking. Originally, Zhou Ma didn't want them to help, but Chen Shiying felt that it was not good to let her elders cook while she just watched.

Zhou Ma couldn't persuade her, so she had to agree to let her help.

Chen Qiaoyi also wanted to help, but was driven out by Zhou Ma.

As soon as Zhou Liming and Zhou Ziwen walked into the house, they heard laughter coming from inside.

It turned out that Li Fangfang was having a happy chat with sisters Chen Shiying and Chen Qiaoyi.

As soon as he entered the door, Zhou Ziwen began to introduce each other, "Dad, let me introduce you, this is Chen Qiaoyi, your daughter-in-law."

"dad."

Chen Qiaoyi called out somewhat embarrassedly.

"Oh, okay, my dear girl, welcome, welcome, please sit down." Zhou Liming smiled widely.

"This is Shiying, Qiaoyi's sister." Zhou Ziwen continued to introduce.

"Okay, okay, you are all good girls, sit down quickly, just treat this place as your own home, don't be polite." Zhou Liming smiled, not showing his usual serious look at all.

"Thank you, uncle." Chen Shiying said.

Zhou Limin looked at the two sisters in surprise and couldn't help saying, "Oh, these two sisters look exactly the same. I can't tell them apart."

Hearing Zhou Liming's words, everyone couldn't help laughing.

Li Fangfang smiled and said, "That's right, I still can't tell the difference!"

Zhou Limin continued, "But if you look closely, you can still see some differences. Shiying looks more quiet, while Qiaoyi is more lively."

I have to say that Zhou's father has a strong ability to observe. In just a short while, he discovered the difference between the two sisters.

Chen Shiying smiled and said, "Uncle, you observe very carefully."

Zhou Limin waved his hand: "Haha, I'm just guessing. Come on, stop standing, let's sit down and have a good chat."

Everyone sat down and continued to chat happily.

After a while, the food was ready and everyone sat around the dining table.

Li Fangfang enthusiastically picked up the chopsticks and picked up a piece of roast duck for Chen Qiaoyi first: "Qiaoyi, eat more of this roast duck. Your father bought it specially for you. Everyone should try it. It will nourish your body."

Then she picked up another piece for Chen Shiying: "Shiying, you should eat more too."

Chen Qiaoyi said gratefully: "Thank you, Mom. You can eat too."

Chen Shiying also hurriedly said, "Thank you, Auntie."

Zhou Limin smiled and said, "Don't be polite, let's eat together."

The family chatted while eating, and the atmosphere was warm and harmonious.

Li Fangfang kept serving food to the two sisters and asked them with concern: "Do you like it? If not, there's more."

Chen Shiying nodded quickly: "That's enough, Auntie, please stop busying yourself and eat quickly."

Chen Qiaoyi also said: "Mom, you should eat too, don't just take care of us."

Zhou Liming rarely took out his good wine and drank it with Zhou Ziwen.

But he still had to go to work in the afternoon, so he drank a little, not too much. (End of this chapter)
