Recap:
When Zhou Wenhao came, he was sitting on the sofa depressed.
Seeing this, he hurriedly walked over and asked him: Uncle, what's wrong with you?
Zhou Zhenqiang patted the sofa next to him: Come, sit.
Zhou Wenhao sat down obediently.
Zhou Zhenqiang asked him: Wen Hao, what you said last time, give me a pension, is it true?
Zhou Wenhao hurriedly said: Uncle, it's naturally true. I am not as productive as my two elder brothers, and in this life, I have been begging for a living in my hometown. Uncle, don't worry, I will take care of you.
01
Zhou Zhenqiang was very comforted in his heart, and after thinking about it in his heart for a while, he spoke: Wen Hao, uncle knows that you are a sensible child, not like your two white-eyed wolf brothers.
A smile appeared on Zhou Wenhao's face, waiting for his next step.
After a pause, Zhou Zhenqiang continued: Look, the uncle's monthly pension is more than 5,000. In this way, I will give you 2000 a month, and you can cook for me and chat with me when you have time. In addition, I will give you 600 yuan a month for vegetables.
Zhou Wenhao was a little disappointed in his heart, thinking to himself, the uncle is worthy of being an uncle, but he is really old-fashioned and stingy.
But he still smiled on his face and fought for his own interests: Uncle, of course I have no problem. You know, my little shop is barely making ends meet. I come here every day and drive and need fuel, right?
"Then I'll add another 400 yuan to your gas bill. Zhou Zhenqiang made the final decision.
Zhou Wenhao didn't dare to mention the 850,000 deposit for the time being, after all, it was Zhou Zhenqiang who spit out the truth after drinking. When he said it at this time, Zhou Zhenqiang would definitely not be happy, and he would tear his face with him if he didn't do it.
Then slowly figure it out.
Thinking of this, Zhou Wenhao hurriedly said: Yes, of course you can.
The matter was so negotiated, and Zhou Zhenqiang finally felt more comfortable.
Isn't Liu Mei unwilling to come back to cook for him? He still has a nephew, and it shouldn't be too much to give this money to his nephew.
It's just that Zhou Zhenqiang came from a hard life when he was a child. asked him to give 3,000 to Zhou Wenhao every month, he still had a little pain.
After Zhou Wenhao left, Zhou Zhenqiang turned on the TV and happened to see the TV series: The old man is old, and his children are given alimony every month.
His mind suddenly moved, since the two white-eyed wolf sons couldn't count on it, let them pay.
In this way, the pension is still your own.
Well, that's it.
02
Jiang Cheng, Liu Mei's dance team, received a list of commercial performances.
The captain took the initiative to find Liu Mei and asked her to be the lead dancer.
Liu Mei waved her hand: No, I can't. I can jump casually, and on that occasion, I'm afraid. Besides, I just joined the dance team not long ago.
The captain's surname is Zhou, one year older than Liu Mei, and she is a retired teacher, and everyone calls her Sister Zhou.
Sister Zhou patted Liu Mei on the shoulder and said: Liu Mei, you have to have confidence in yourself. Everyone's eyes are bright, and you are the best one in the team. This has nothing to do with the length of time you join the team. Be confident, ah!
Liu Mei was still a little hesitant.
Yang Lihua on the side also smiled and said to her: Oh, old sister, you can agree. You really dance well, your figure, that dancing, I only have envy.
Saying that, she made a dance move: Only you can dance so beautifully.
Liu Mei blushed with shame, and was a little eager to try: Okay, I'll try.
It was also in this commercial performance that Liu Mei's dance team became famous in the neighborhood with its excellent performance.
Sister Zhou said that some communities, as well as businesses that have opened, have begun to come to them. Although the money is not much, it is a kind of recognition for them.
That weekend, Liu Mei and the others took over the second commercial performance. Yang Lihua also participated in the performance.
Zhou Wenyuan had to work overtime, and Xia Duhuan took Doudou to see it. She also took a lot of photos of Liu Mei and Yang Lihua.
When she went back to sort out the photos, Xia Duhuan found that Liu Mei had really changed a lot.
Before, she was timid and not confident enough. Now, the whole face is stretched.
The most important thing is that once people are confident, they are more demanding of themselves. Liu Mei now only eats green vegetables and coarse grains for dinner every day, for fear of gaining weight and not looking good at dancing.
Xia Duhuan touched the swimming ring on her stomach, a little embarrassed, it seemed that she was going to learn from her mother-in-law.
03
Yang Lihua is also much more generous than when she was in the capital.
Xia Duhuan showed the photo to the two mothers, and the two of them commented while reading it, and they were very excited.
Xia Duhuan is envious of her mother-in-law and mother, she doesn't know if she can live like them at their age.
However, she found that the two mothers still looked better with makeup.
Thinking of this, Xia Jianhuan called Xia Jianyan and discussed taking the two mothers to buy some cosmetics.
Xia Duhuan is a handicap party, and when he was in college, he learned makeup with his roommate for a while, but unfortunately he couldn't learn it. After work, she rubs some powder at most and rarely buys cosmetics.
However, in the case of the two mothers, she felt that women still had to wear makeup, which could really enhance their temperament.
Xia Duanyan happened to be with Fang Chengyuan, and the two had just come out of the cinema. Hearing Xia Duhuan's proposal, she naturally responded positively.
With such a good opportunity to perform in front of his mother-in-law, Fang Chengyuan was naturally obliged to drive over to pick him up.
When Yang Lihua saw Fang Chengyuan, her whole face turned into a flower. She hurriedly introduced Liu Mei that this was her youngest daughter's boyfriend.
Through her expression, Liu Mei could see that she liked this son-in-law very much, and whispered in her ear: It is a good match for Yan Yan.
Yang Lihua, the mother-in-law, was even happier, laughing all the way.
When the group arrived at the mall, Xia Duanyan took them to a brand counter. This brand, the price is not expensive.
The girl at the counter recommended entry-level cosmetics to the two mothers according to their skin types.
Liu Mei didn't want to buy it, she was afraid of spending money.
Xia Qianyan hurriedly pulled her and walked to the mirror: Auntie, look, this lipstick is really suitable for you.
Xia Duhuan also echoed on the side: Mom, I said everything, I'll send you. I haven't given you anything over the years. Just give me a chance to perform.
Yang Lihua also cooperated on the side: Just give the children a chance to honor you.
Liu Mei had no choice but to agree, and Xia Duhuan hurried to pay.

Then, the group went to a clothing store, and Xia Duhuan wanted to buy cheongsams for his two mothers.
Liu Mei didn't want to buy it, saying that she didn't wear this.
Xia Duan smiled and said: Mom, I think the Chinese skirt you are wearing in today's performance costume is really beautiful.
Liu Mei couldn't help but blurt out: I mustered up enough courage this time. Before, your dad, he wouldn't let me wear a skirt.
"Mom, it was before, and it's now. Mom, go give it a try. As he spoke, Xia Duhuan handed her the cheongsam in his hand.
Liu Mei was still hesitating, but Yang Lihua tried it on, and she pushed her into the fitting room next door: Hurry up and try it.
Liu Mei's new Chinese-style small floral cheongsam makes her particularly elegant.
Xia Duhuan bought it decisively, and let her wear it like this and continue shopping. Liu Mei looked at herself in the mirror, she really looked young, she liked it very much. This time she didn't object.
Dinner was invited by Fang Chengyuan, and he said that he would give him a chance to perform. Xia Duhuan couldn't refuse, so he could only agree.
When she returned home after dinner, Xia Duanyan struck while the iron was hot and started a beauty course for the two mothers.
Xia Duhuan also learned with him. In the past, she was busy with work and children, and she didn't have time to think about beauty. Now, with more time, the whole person can't relax. She's also going to put on makeup.
Both mothers were very interested and listened with relish.
During the practical operation, Xia Duhuan found that Liu Mei was a super good student, and she did a good job. They all admired her.
Xia Duhuan thought, it seems that Liu Mei came out and went right.
At home, Zhou Zhenqiang always looked disgusted with her, so much so that Liu Mei was suppressed by him.
Now Liu Mei dances, wears skirts, and puts on makeup, and lives more and more beautifully. That's what it's like to be yourself.

Zhou Zhenqiang thought about it for several days and sent messages to his two sons, Zhou Wenyuan and Zhou Wenbo, respectively:
Son, from this month onwards, you will give me 1,500 yuan a month in alimony.
In the future, on the 1st of each month, remember to transfer it to me on time.
When Zhou Wenbo received the information, he thought he had read it wrong.
looked at it again, and sure enough, it was sent by his own father. Could it be that he gave himself 20,000 yuan and felt uncomfortable, and now he wants to go back in this way?
After thinking for two seconds, he dialed Zhou Wenyuan's phone: Brother, our dad said that I would let me give him 1,500 yuan a month in alimony. Did he tell you?
Zhou Wenyuan rubbed his forehead helplessly and said: Coincidentally, I just received his message.
"You said, he has a lot of monthly retirement salary, and he doesn't have any expenses in the town, why do you still ask the two of us for alimony?" Zhou Wenbo was very dissatisfied.
"I don't know, it stands to reason that our dad is not short of money. Zhou Wenyuan thought about it, and after all, he didn't tell Zhou Wenbo about the 500,000 yuan.
"Yes, he doesn't lack money, but we do. Zhou Wenbo was a little helpless.
"Well, I'll call my dad later. Zhou Wenyuan said decisively.
After hanging up Zhou Wenbo's phone, he immediately dialed Zhou Zhenqiang's phone.
The phone rang twice and was answered.
Zhou Wenyuan said directly: Dad, you said that we will give you 1,500 yuan a month pension money, don't you have a pension?
Zhou Zhenqiang became angry when he heard this: What do you mean that I have a pension? Isn't it natural for my son to support my son? Both of you brothers are outside, I want Wen Hao to provide for me, and this money is for him.
"Dad, you, why are you like this?" Zhou Wenyuan said in surprise.
"Hmph, did I tell you, let your mother come back and cook for me, I will give her 2000 a month. But she was unwilling, and you were not willing to persuade her.
I'm old and I can't cook. Wen Hao is willing to take care of me, so the money will be given to him. ”
Zhou Zhenqiang said as a matter of course.
06
Zhou Wenyuan doesn't know what to say?
Other people's parents are afraid of causing trouble to their children, but his father has been a demon again and again.
Zhou Wenyuan was not good at arguing with others, so he could only hang up the phone angrily.
He gave Zhou Wenbo a brief explanation, and Zhou Wenbo on the other end was angry: Brother, do you say that our dad has a problem with his brain? He has a lot of pensions, and he wants to give Wen Hao my consent. But why should we pay for the two of us?
What's more, when it's really time for him to retire, can we ignore him?
I really think it's right for our mother to leave him!
Anyway, I won't give out this money. He doesn't even want to think, what kind of life are we living?
Zhou Wenyuan had a headache. Before hanging up the phone, he didn't know about this alimony, should he pay it?
When Liu Mei came back from dancing in the evening, Zhou Wenyuan still decided to tell her about it.
When Liu Mei heard this, she was so angry that her lungs were about to explode.
She immediately called Zhou Zhenqiang and asked him if he was asking for alimony for his son.
Zhou Zhenqiang said: Yes, I am their father, give me alimony, shouldn't I be?
Liu Mei was angry in her heart, and unconsciously raised her voice: Zhou Zhenqiang, are you such a father? Where did your monthly pension go? Are you missing hands or feet? Or are you lying in bed and unable to move? Have you ever considered how difficult it is for your children's lives?
Zhou Zhenqiang was not happy, he insisted: Anyway, I don't care, alimony, they have to give it if they don't give it!
Liu Mei felt a wave of disappointment in her heart, and she gritted her teeth and said: If you still want alimony, then we will divorce! I will divide half of the family property. Anyway, it can't be cheap outsiders!
Zhou Zhenqiang's tone was blunt: Whoever does not leave, who is the grandson!
