"My sister's mother-in-law broke her leg recently. She is taking care of her at home." Chen Tian said as he drank the ice water in one gulp.
"Really? Then I'll go visit some other time." Cheng Xiang thought that Zhou Tianwang's matter still needed to have definite evidence before he could make a theory.
"Then, let me thank you for my sister first," Chen Tian said with a grin.
"You're welcome. By the way, has Zhou Tianlei been busy lately?" He asked, remembering that Zhou Tianlei had been leaving early and coming back late recently.
Chen Tian smiled meaningfully: "Hey, is my sister-in-law going to check on my eldest brother?"
He had to help his elder brother, so he said: "I've been very busy recently. I'm negotiating cooperation with the meat factory, which is quite troublesome."
"Yes, there is always a market for so much pork. Otherwise, how can we turn around? Doing business is really not easy." Thinking of those salesmen in the company in his previous life, who drank to the point of stomach bleeding in order to discuss business, Cheng Xiang sighed in his heart and looked heavy. Question: “Is business difficult?”
Chen Tian stared at Cheng Xiang's expression, thought for a moment and said, "It's quite difficult." It was indeed difficult. Several meat processing plants were vying for live pigs, and Brother Lei was wondering which one to cooperate with.
After Chen Tian left, Cheng Xiang sat there in a daze for a long time. She always felt that she was very lucky. She was a wealthy person and at least she didn't have to worry about money.
Unlike the period novels I have read before, the heroine is born in a book or is reborn into a poor family. The heroine needs to start from scratch, raise a child and start a business.
Nowadays, it seems that making money is not easy no matter what era.
"Should I find a way to help him?" Cheng Xiang felt a sense of career for no reason.
Zhou Tianlei came back surprisingly early today. He took the apron in Cheng Xiang's hand and said, "I'll cook today. You go and play with Qing'er for a while."
Cheng Xiang watched as he tied up his apron quickly, and the afterglow of the setting sun shone into the kitchen, reflecting his slender figure, and his vegetable-cutting arms fell together, strong and powerful.
It felt like it had been a long time since I had seen him so clearly and completely. At this moment, Cheng Xiang felt warm in his heart.
After Zhou Tianlei finished cooking, he walked out of the kitchen. In the yard, Zhou Tianxing and Zhou Yang were climbing on stools to do their homework.
Cheng Xiang and Qing'er were holding branches to circle ants on the ground, giggling happily.
Today I saw Chen Tian at the pig farm and said to him in a sullen manner: "Brother Lei, you are so busy every day. My sister-in-law has checked your position, but I have helped you out."
Zhou Tianlei looked at him with furrowed brows, "What did you say to her?"
"I said you were busy, busy talking about business, and didn't go out to fool around." Chen Tian said proudly.
Zhou Tianlei stepped up and kicked him on the butt, saying, "You are the only one with a mouth."
I hurried home today and saw that everything was peaceful. Cheng Xiang seemed to be very calm, and there were no signs of storms.
Zhou Tianlei made rice, twice-cooked pork, scrambled eggs with green peppers, and loofah soup.
Everyone chatted while eating, and talked about going up to the mountain to pick mushrooms today, talking about red umbrellas with white poles, and eating together while lying on the board. Several people staggered around laughing.
Zhou Tianlei looked at them with a smile in his eyes, and his heart had never been as full of happiness as it was at this moment.
Until late at night, Cheng Xiang was cheerful and said nothing. He took Qing'er to wash up and then went to bed.
Zhou Tianlei laughed to himself in his heart, took a shower and went back to the room.
When he was sleeping deeply, he suddenly heard a rustling sound in the living room. He was always a light sleeper. He opened his eyes alertly, stood up, and opened the door, startling Cheng Xiang who was about to knock on the door. .
"What's wrong? What's going on?" He looked at Cheng Xiang who seemed a little frightened.
"Zhou Tianlei, there are mice at home." Cheng Xiang pouted and said aggrievedly.
She has a natural fear of mice. When she was a child, she was not afraid of snakes. However, every time she saw a mouse, which looked very black and thief-headed, her heartbeat would speed up, she would sweat all over her body, and her soles would become weak.
Just when I was falling asleep, I suddenly heard a crunching sound under the bed, and I immediately realized that it was a mouse gnawing on the wood.
Afraid of scaring Qing'er who was sleeping soundly, she crept over and planned to ask Zhou Tianlei to help catch the mouse.
Zhou Tianlei looked at her scared look, looking pitiful, with her little face wrinkled and huddled up.
"It's too late now. Catching mice will wake up the children." Zhou Tianlei explained to her.
"What should we do?" Cheng Xiang thought he was right.
Zhou Tianlei scratched his head and said, "How about you sleep in my room, and I'll sleep on the sofa in the living room."
Cheng wanted to say yes, but then he thought about it and asked, "Are there no mice in your room?"
Zhou Tianlei was speechless. He was not sure. In rural areas, especially in houses like theirs near the village, it was common for rats to appear. He had ignored this problem.
"Then, I'll accompany you to the room to sleep. You sleep on the bed, and I'll make the bed on the floor." Zhou Tianlei suggested.
Cheng Xiang thought to himself, you are so particular, but you can't do much if you sleep together.
The two entered the room. Apart from a bed and some debris piled in the corner, there was nothing else in the room.
Zhou Tianlei tidied up the bed and spread a blanket on the floor.
"Don't sleep on the ground, it's hard and damp. Let's sleep on the bed together." Cheng Xiang said softly.
.......Zhou Tianlei's hands shook.
Although the two of them were dating each other, even though they touched hands and kissed, they were still not married yet. How could they sleep together?
Zhou Tianlei glanced at Cheng Xiang, who was sitting by the bed and looking at him sincerely. She patted the place next to her and motioned for him to come over.
"It doesn't matter, I'll sleep on the ground." Zhou Tianlei suppressed the restlessness in his heart and said in an indifferent tone.
"What are you afraid of? Anyway, you..." Cheng Xiang almost blurted out, quickly swallowed it back and said, "Anyway, I don't dislike you."
After saying that, she lay down on the bed, leaving a place for Zhou Tianlei.
To refuse further would appear to be pretentious on his part.
Zhou Tianlei turned off the light, walked slowly to the bed, and lay stiffly next to Cheng Xiang.
The bed was not big, so the two of them lay down. He could feel the heat from her body with his bare arms. He felt as if his arm had been injected with anesthesia, unable to move.
After his eyes adjusted to the darkness, he turned his head slightly and faced Shang Cheng's eyes that wanted to look at him. He felt his heart skip a beat.
"Is this woman really bold and bold, or is she ignorant and ignorant of danger?" Her eyes were like a ball of fire, which was about to burn Zhou Tianlei up.
"What's wrong?" Zhou Tianlei asked, his voice so hoarse that he couldn't believe it.
"Is the breeding factory doing poorly?" Cheng Xiang asked in a low voice.
"Why do you ask this?" Zhou Tianlei couldn't help but wonder.
"I see you are working very hard. If you can't make ends meet, you don't need to give me so much household income. I also have some money myself."
Although she had always despised women's backhanded behavior, now she really felt a little sorry for him.
Zhou Tianlei laughed dumbly and thought to himself: "What is this woman thinking about in her little head all day long?"
"What are you laughing at?" Cheng Xiang asked coquettishly.
"There is no shortage of money in the factory, and there is no shortage of money at home. You can live with them with peace of mind. I, Zhou Tianlei, am not a man who eats soft food." Zhou Tianlei smiled mockingly to himself.
