When the family reunited, there was naturally laughter. Especially when Zhou Zhong opened the gifts he brought and gave them to Aunt Wang and Zhuo'er, they were even more excited. They each took their gifts and looked left and right.

Look, it's not that they particularly like their gift, but it's the first gift Zhou Zhong gave them, and it's also the first gift they received after their family business collapsed, so it's naturally of extraordinary significance.

"Auntie, whose child is this? Why haven't I seen it before?" Until then, Zhou Zhong finally had the opportunity to ask the little girl who came in with Duo'er. Now the little girl is still standing at the door, dumbfounded.

He looked at the snacks and toys in Duo'er's hands, looking like he wanted them but didn't dare to speak.

Only then did Aunt Wang realize that she was so happy that she had forgotten to tell Zhou Zhong something, so she waved to the little girl and said, "Qingqing, come to Auntie quickly!"

This little girl named Qingqing was very well-behaved. After hearing Aunt Wang’s words, she immediately ran to her side and sweetly shouted: “Hello, Auntie!”

"Well, good boy!" Aunt Wang touched Qingqing's little face dotingly, then grabbed a handful of snacks from the table and stuffed them into her hands. Then she pointed at Zhou Zhong and introduced, "Qingqing,

This is Brother Zhou Chong, he is Duoer’s brother, and he will also be your brother from now on, remember?”

"Remember!" Qingqing nodded obediently, and then called Zhou Zhong sweetly, "Hello, brother Zhou Zhong!"

Zhou Zhong also liked such a well-behaved little girl. He happened to have prepared a lot of gifts for Duo'er, so he took out a big-headed clay doll from the bag and gave it to her and said: "Qingqing is so well-behaved. This is a gift from my brother."

Your gift, you will be Duo'er's good sister from now on, please don't get into any trouble, okay?"

"Okay~" Qingqing agreed sweetly, taking the beautiful clay doll with both hands, her two beautiful big eyes smiled into two crescents, looking like a happy little angel.

After Aunt Wang sent Qingqing and Duo'er to go out to play, she explained to Zhou Zhong: "Zhong'er, just when you were out playing, someone in our family wanted to rent a house. At that time, Butler Xu felt that there was no shortage of money at home.

, so I didn’t want to rent out the house, but I happened to see that they were two sisters, and they brought Qingqing with them, so I let them move in."

When Zhou Zhong heard that this was what happened, he said indifferently: "So that's it. Anyway, it's okay for a few more people to live in such a big yard at home. Besides, Duo'er does need a playmate."

After hearing Zhou Zhong's words, Huo'er, who was trying on clothes on her body, also said: "Brother, Sister Junwan and Sister Mengwan are both good people, and they are both very beautiful. They have taught me a lot in the past two days. It's a pity that they

Living in the front yard, I think it’s inconvenient to go to them, so do you think you can move them to the backyard so that I can go and ask them often?”

"Let them move in?" Zhou Zhong said with some surprise. At the same time, he also found that Aunt Wang and Su Niang beside him also nodded in agreement, which made him very curious about the two women he had never met.

, I have only been away from home for more than half a month, but they have already gained the favor of Aunt Wang and others, and even want them to move to the inner house. It seems that there must be something attractive about the other party.

Perhaps seeing Zhou Zhong's silence, Aunt Wang could not hold her breath and said: "Chong'er, Junwan and Mengwan's character is definitely not to mention, and Junwan's knowledge is good, Mengwan's

Zhuo'er is unparalleled in piano skills and can stay at home with nothing to do. I can learn more when getting along with them. In addition, the backyard is so big that our mothers are a little scared at night, so we might as well let them move into the inner house.

Come, so we can take care of each other!"

Hearing that even Aunt Wang said this, Zhou Zhong naturally couldn't say anything else, so he just smiled and said: "What Auntie said is that since the other party is two weak women and they have a child, then

In addition, Auntie and Zhuo'er both think that the other party has good character, so just let them move in!"

"Great, I'll go find sister Junwan and ask them to pack their things and move in with us tonight!"

Zhuo'er cheered and turned around to tell his two good sisters the good news, but Zhou Zhong grabbed him and said: "Silly girl, it's almost dark now, and we have to eat soon, even if you

Tell them that they don’t have time to move tonight, so it’s better to move tomorrow.”

It was getting late when Zhou Chong came back, and after chatting with Aunt Wang and the others for a while, the sky outside had already darkened. Only then did Aunt Wang notice the sky outside, and she hurriedly spoke

He said: "Look, we were so busy talking that we even forgot to cook. Chong'er, please sit down and rest. I'm going to cook."

Aunt Wang said and walked quickly to the kitchen, Su Niang also followed to help. Huo'er looked at the sky outside, and finally gave up the idea of ​​going out, chatted with Zhou Zhong for a few more words, and then ran away.

Went to the kitchen to help cook.

In the end, only Zhou Zhong and Butler Xu were left in the room. Taking this opportunity, Zhou Zhong asked Butler Xu about the new tenants. Aunt Wang and Zhuo'er both wanted them to move in, which made Zhou Zhong also

I couldn't help but feel very curious about those two women.

As a result, according to Butler Xu, the new tenants are a pair of sisters, surnamed Bai. The older sister is named Bai Junwan, who is about twenty years old, and the younger sister is named Bai Mengwan, who is older than Zhuoer and about the same age as Zhou Zhong. At the time, this

When the two sisters came to rent a house, they were all disguised and looked like two beggars. However, they did not expect that after they moved in and washed themselves up, they turned out to be two extremely beautiful women, and that Qingqing was the daughter of her sister Bai Junwan.

The Bai sisters are not only beautiful, but also very well-educated in their speech and behavior. You can tell at a glance that they come from a wealthy family. Among them, the elder sister Junwan is very knowledgeable and knows all the classics and history, while the younger sister Mengwan is a good piano player.

My son liked it very much after knowing it, so he often went to chat with them.

According to the Bai sisters themselves, they were originally from a wealthy family in Nanjing. There were only two sisters and their father in the family. Their sister Junwan hired a husband a few years ago, but her husband went to take the exam a few days after the marriage. As a result,

There was no news from her again, leaving her with only one daughter, Qingqing. Later, their father died and a local bully wanted to take the sisters as concubines. As a result, they had to abandon the family property and escape with Qingqing. Aunt Wang sympathized with this situation.

What happened to the two sisters, so I am very concerned about them. Now they live in a small courtyard on the left side of the front yard.

After introducing the situation of the Bai sisters, Butler Xu hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Master, after this period of observation, the Bai sisters should not be lying, but their conversation and temperament cannot be taught by ordinary wealthy families.

, I suspect that they are probably from official families, and there are too many dignitaries in Nanjing. If the bully who wants to marry them is powerful and sends people to chase them to Songjiang, I am worried that it will bring some trouble to our family."

Zhou Chong didn't say anything after hearing this. He believed in Butler Xu's vision. Two ladies from official families were forced to flee to Songjiang. From this, it can be seen that the bullies who took a fancy to them must not be ordinary people. But since this kind of thing makes

He met him, and he, Zhou Zhong, was not afraid of trouble. In addition, this was Songjiang, not Nanjing, so Zhou Zhong was not worried about the other party chasing after him.

Because Zhou Zhong was back, Aunt Wang and the others specially cooked some delicious dishes, and everyone sat together to eat and chat. Duo'er hadn't seen Zhou Zhong for many days, and now she had to sit in his arms to eat, while Zhuo'er kept eating.

I asked him about what happened when I went out to play. Fortunately, Zhou Zhong was prepared in advance and made up some short stories to get through it.

After dinner, Zhou Zhong served Wu Shan some more food, and then went to the front yard with Butler Xu and Su Niang to visit Wu Shan. It turned out that Wu Shan's body recovered very quickly. Now he could not only get to the ground, but also walk.

It's also very stable, but you can't go too fast, otherwise you'll fall.

What Zhou Chong didn't expect was that Wu Shan actually recognized Su Niang as his god-sister. It turned out that Wu Shan was often taken care of by Su Niang during this period, and he was very grateful. When Su Niang was sold by her parents when she was a child, there was a child in the family.

If the younger brother is still alive now, he should be about the same age as Wu Shan, so she takes care of Wu Shan as a biological brother. So in the end, Wu Shan simply recognized Su Niang as his sister. In this way, Butler Xu became his brother-in-law, and everyone

A family now.

Zhou Zhong chatted with Wu Shan for a while. Originally, they wanted to drink some wine and chat for a while, but Su Niang refused to drink. There were two reasons. The first was that Wu Shan's injury was not completely healed, and the second was that Xu

The housekeeper was old, and drinking was harmful to his health, so he would drink if he could. As a result, Zhou Zhong and the others had no way to argue, so they had to chat for a few words and then went back.

After returning to the backyard, Zhou Chong went to Aunt Wang's place again. After all, he had been away for so many days, and now that he was back, he naturally wanted to spend more time with them, especially Zhuo'er and Duo'er, who must have a lot to say to him.

Sure enough, as soon as Zhuo'er and Duo'er saw her, they immediately pulled Zhou Zhong and refused to let him go. The three brothers and sisters were playing and fighting until the second watch. The young Duo'er finally got a little sleepy and finally lay down on Zhou Zhong's bed.

Fell asleep in my arms.

Zhou Zhong put Duo'er on the bed. At this time, he also felt a little tired, so he said goodbye to Aunt Wang and Zhuo'er, and planned to go back to his yard to rest, but at this moment, Zhuo'er grabbed him

, and then dragged Zhou Zhong to the living room outside, and then whispered to him in a very mysterious voice: "Brother, while you are away these days, a strange thing happened in our house!"

"Weird thing, what weird thing?" Zhou Zhong asked a little strangely.
