Chapter 895 No Longer a Single Transmission



Chapter 895 No Longer a Single Transmission

The biggest reason why Mr. Zhao took a liking to Zhou Xing was that the Zhou family had many children. Now, Zhou Xing has given birth to the second child of his family. This is truly a great joyous event, and the family's ancestors are filled with joy!

Li talked about the things that Mr. Zhao had been talking about when he came home, and she bent over with laughter. She said, "You didn't see how happy he was. When Yuan Ge'er was born, he was not so happy. He even said that he would have no regrets even if he died now. I think he is so happy that he is crazy."

Zhou Guo smiled and said, "This is a great event. The Zhao family has been a single-line family for several generations. There is only one son in each generation, and there is not even a grandmother. Let me say something unpleasant. If something happens, the Zhao family will be extinct and will have no ability to resist risks."

"What are you talking about?" Li slapped her in the face. "How can you curse people like that? You just say whatever you want. The Zhao family already has two children. Your sister and your brother-in-law are still so young. Don't they have the ability to have more children in the future? The Zhao family will definitely have many children and be blessed in the future!!"

The next day was the full moon.

Li prepared two carriages of things, and the whole family went to Zhao's house to attend the full moon banquet.

Zhou Guo also had a gift with her. Although her family had prepared a lot of gifts, as the aunt, she still prepared one separately.

When I arrived, there were not many people from the Zhao family. Those who came were all from Mrs. Zhao's parents' home.

Naturally, Li and Wu Ya had to exchange pleasantries with them. Zhou Guo shook his sleeves and went to Zhou Xing's yard.

She often came to the Zhao family, and everyone in the Zhao family knew her. When they saw her walking out, a little maid said, "My dear, I will lead the way for you."

Zhou Guo smiled and said, "Then I'll trouble you."

Zhao Yang had already taken Yuan Ge'er to entertain the guests, leaving only Zhou Xingniang and her husband in the yard.

As soon as Zhou Guo entered, Zhou Xing was surprised to see her and asked, "When did you come back? Didn't Second Aunt say she went out at the beginning of spring? I don't know where she went."

Zhou Guo smiled and said, "Of course I have to come back for such a big event as your childbirth. Let me see if there is anyone as good-looking as Brother Yuan."

Zhou Xing pointed to the crib beside her and said, "Nuo, he's in there. He just fell asleep after having his milk."

Zhou Guo leaned forward to take a look and said, "It's really going to grow up, and it's so beautiful, white and plump."

Zhou Xing smiled and said, "It happened in the past few days. When I was in confinement, my skin was dark and yellow, and it was peeling. Yuan Geer was worried that my brother would not be able to find a wife in the future if he was so ugly. He is very happy that I have become better-looking in the past few days. He is no longer worried that my brother will not be able to find a wife."

Zhou Guo laughed so hard that he doubled over. "How old is he? Why is he talking about wives all the time? He's even worried that his brother can't find a wife. Who taught him that?"

Zhou Xing said, "He's very smart now. He can remember everything you say and walk out the next time. I have to avoid him no matter what you say to your brother-in-law, so that he won't embarrass himself outside."

Zhou Guo held the little kid up carefully by the head. He was very skilled in this because he had held Yuan Ge and Xiao Hua in his arms many times. He held the kid carefully in his arms, looked around, and said, "I heard from mother that you have made great contributions to the Zhao family this time. The old lady and the old master want to hand over the power of the family to you? You will be in charge of the household affairs?"

Zhou Xing said: "That's what she said, but I don't know if my mother-in-law is willing to let go. If she is not willing to let go, can I still snatch it away by force?"

Zhou Guo thought for a moment and said, "I don't think Mrs. Zhao is a very ambitious person. She already has two grandchildren now. She spends all day teasing them. How can she have the time to take care of the family affairs? She will definitely not be able to manage this family for long."

That's true. Mrs. Zhao is actually a person who enjoys a comfortable life. She has kept her by her side all these years, but she has slowly let go since last year.

Zhou Guo said, "From now on, you are the mistress of the Zhao family, Madam. It sounds very impressive."

Zhou Xing didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "You're still talking about me. You're not much more powerful than me. No matter how powerful I am, I can only hang around in this backyard. But you're different. You can go anywhere in the world. Every time you interact with men from different families, you're the real head of the family."

Zhou Guo disagreed, "What do you mean those are the real heads of the family? You are the real heads of the family. If you were not in charge of the rear and the interpersonal relationships of each household, how could they work hard outside with peace of mind?"

"Sister, don't underestimate yourself. I know very well that I am outside because I have my mother and sister-in-law to deal with various things at home. I don't have to worry about this and can do things outside with peace of mind. Otherwise, I would be too busy even if I had three heads and six arms."

Zhou Xing smiled and said, "Okay, I understand. I'll listen to you."

Zhou Guo held the baby and turned around a few times and asked, "What's his name?"

Zhou Xing said: "Cheng Ge'er said that after having Yuan Ge'er, he hoped to have another brother. Now that he really has a brother, he will be called Cheng Ge'er."

"So it means Cheng Cheng." Zhou Guo held him and spun around, "Cheng brother, Cheng brother, grow up quickly. When you grow up, let your brother take you to ride a horse."

She took out the big gold locket inlaid with gems from her bosom, put it in his bosom, and said with a laugh: "Look at this big gold locket, if it were bigger it would be as big as your face. Our Cheng'er's face is really small!"

Zhou Xing looked at the gold locket and smiled, "You bought him such a big one. He has to be three or four years old before he can wear it around his neck."

Zhou Guo patted the big lock on his chest. Since the lock was put on, no one was allowed to take it off. It has been hanging for so many years.

"It's pretty good. This one I bought for him can be hung from childhood to when he gets married. It's great and it saves money."

Zhou Xing watched her movements and smiled, "That's for your own good. You were not in good health when you were a child, and now you run outside all day long year after year. You don't know how many dirty things you will encounter. Hanging this thing can ward off evil spirits!"

"Suppress evil!" Zhou Guo nodded and said to Cheng Ge'er in the swaddling clothes, "I blessed this in the temple. You and your brother and sister each have one."

Zhou Xing was surprised, "Did you bring this back from the temple?"

"No, I sent it to the temple to have it blessed by a master." In fact, she went to ask for a golden Buddha for her mother, and picked up a few locks to have them blessed as well.

But this has already surprised Zhou Xing a lot. Now both her husband's family and her own family are not short of money. Such a blessed gold lock is much more meaningful than an ordinary gold lock.

Seeing her like this, Zhou Guo said, "I spent a lot of money on this gold locket, but you don't like it and you only like the Buddha's affinity on it?"

Zhou Xing happily took the gold lock and looked it up and down, saying, "You are talking nonsense. Can a gold lock have good affinity with Buddha? You will know it if you look at it. If you have affinity with Buddha, you can succeed in everything you do. You took it to the temple to have it blessed personally, so it must be effective. I want them to keep it with them all the time."

Zhou Guo: “…”
