Zhulan saw that everyone was looking at her and smiled at Zhou Shuren. Great, such a big deal and he hadn't even mentioned it to her—what a surprise! After a moment of silence, she said, "My small goal for next year is to lose twenty pounds."
Zhou Shuren had a death wish when he spoke, "Wife, that's a big goal."
As soon as his words fell, the Zhou brothers took a sharp breath. Why did Dad have to pick on himself during the New Year's celebration!
