When he heard his mother calling Qingqiu, Chu Tianfeng turned around.

When he saw it, his daughter and son-in-law were walking this way carrying large and small bags. Although he knew that they were not here to see him, Chu Tianfeng still couldn't help but smile on his face.

Behind him, Ren Xiuying passed him and trotted up to meet him, just like Chu Qingqiu did when she was a child, when she walked in from school and threw herself into her grandma's arms.

Holding her granddaughter's hand, Ren Suying just kept smiling. After a while, she said: "I'm back."

Chu Qingqiu wiped the tears from the corners of her grandma's eyes and said with a smile, "I'm back."

As she said that, she smiled and said to the grandfather behind her: "Grandpa, I'm back."

Chu Weiguo was actually only one step slower than Ren Xiuying. When he realized that everyone else was looking at him, the corners of his raised mouth immediately dropped.

After a while.

"Huh! I haven't prepared any food for you, so just have some for lunch."

After speaking with a serious face, he turned around, ignored Chu Tianfeng who was standing there like a telephone pole, and walked into the house with his hands behind his back.

However, what was different from usual was that his feet were much lighter, and the original serious expression on his face was replaced by a bright smile.

He even hummed a ditty.

The good granddaughter is back!

Oops, why didn't you call me and tell me before you came?

Was I too serious just now? What if my good granddaughter thinks I don’t welcome her?

What else is in the refrigerator in the kitchen? If I cook ten dishes now, can I make it in time for the meal?

Looking at his back, Ren Xiuying said angrily: "This damn old man doesn't know how to speak well."

Holding Chu Qingqiu's hand, she looked at her grandson-in-law and said, "Xiaowu, don't be like that old man. Grandma welcomes you on behalf of him and this family!"

Zhou Ziwu smiled and said, "Thank you, grandma."

"Hey!" Ren Xiuying said happily: "The song you sang in the Spring Festival Gala this year... what is the sky and what is the dragon?"

"The dragon scales of heaven and earth." Zhou Ziwu added.

"Yes, Dragon Scales of Heaven and Earth." Ren Xiuying gave a thumbs up: "You sing so well! The neighbors all praise you, but it makes us proud. Even that damn old man said you sang well."

As she was talking, she suddenly slapped herself on the head and said, "Look at my brain. I'm just talking. Come in quickly. It's very cold outside."

"good."

Zhou Ziwu smiled and nodded. When he passed by his "scumbag" father-in-law, who was carrying a gift in both hands, he nodded slightly as a greeting to him.

Seeing several people entering the house happily, Chu Tianfeng lowered his head and looked at the gifts in his hands.

Compared with the beautifully packaged and high-end gifts in the hands of my daughter and son-in-law, the eggs and pure milk in my own hands seemed shabby.

The cheap-looking new shoes under my feet have become stained with dirt from walking and have become no longer white.

After a moment of silence, he placed the gift on the ground and reached for his pocket with his right hand, but found nothing.

Only then did he remember that he had quit smoking.

"Grandma, you and Qingqiu chat first while I go outside for a walk."

In the living room, after greeting them both, Zhou Ziwu left the room.

When I came to the yard, I looked sideways at the kitchen and saw that the old man inside was busy working with a smile on his face. He shook his head with a smile and walked out of the yard.

Outside the door, his "scumbag" father-in-law was still standing there, staring blankly at the door, wondering what he was thinking.

Zhou Ziwu came to him and wanted to offer him a cigarette, but found that he didn't have such a thing in his pocket.

"No need, I quit."

Looking at his movements, Chu Tianfeng probably guessed what he meant.

"Come in and sit for a while." Zhou Ziwu said.

Chu Tianfeng was a little moved, but after a moment, he still shook his head and said: "We can't get in."

"Can't get in" instead of "can't get in". When the order is changed, the meaning is completely different.

"Do you think I'm funny?"

He wanted to preserve his dignity as a father-in-law in front of his son-in-law, but after two meetings and two humiliations, he couldn't even enter the house today.

What qualifications does a father-in-law like this have to show off? I'm afraid he has already become a joke in people's hearts.

Zhou Ziwu shook his head.

"Can you do me a favor?" Chu Tianfeng asked.

"You say."

Chu Tianfeng bent down, lifted up the milk and eggs on the ground, and handed them to him, "Take this in for me, they don't want what I gave them."

Zhou Ziwu took it and said, "I will. Is there anything else you want to say to Qingqiu?"

He will not choose to forgive Chu Tianfeng on behalf of the Chu family members without authorization. He has not experienced what they have experienced, and he will not do such things as compromising others.

However, he could also see that the father-in-law in front of him was sincerely repentant, so he was still willing to help with this small favor.

Chu Tianfeng pursed his lips, and after a long while, he shook his head dejectedly, "No, I just hope you can be nicer to her."

After speaking, he took out a small stack of red tickets from his pocket, counted out four, and handed the remaining ones to Zhou Ziwu.

Zhou Ziwu waved his hand, "There's no need for lucky money."

Chu Tianfeng's half-stretched hand suddenly froze.

"..."

"Give this to me, too."

"It turns out it's for the second elder, haha." Zhou Ziwu laughed awkwardly, transferred the eggs and milk to one hand, and took the money he handed over.

Chu Tianfeng nodded and was about to turn around and leave when he suddenly remembered something.

He took out the four hundred yuan from his pocket again, leaving one piece, and handed the rest to Zhou Ziwu again, "This is the money for the ticket I borrowed from you last time. It took me so long to pay it back.

I’m sorry.”

To be honest, if Chu Tianfeng hadn't mentioned it, Zhou Ziwu would have forgotten about it.

However, he did not refuse the money because he did not lack the three hundred. Instead, he reached out and took it, "Okay, we are settled."

"Yeah." Chu Tianfeng smiled, suddenly feeling that he had finally regained some face in front of his son-in-law.

Seeing that he seemed to be leaving, Zhou Ziwu said, "Are you leaving? I'm afraid this hundred yuan won't be enough for travel expenses. How about I give you more..."

"No need." Chu Tianfeng said with a smile: "This time I plan to find a job closer to home, so that if anything happens at home, I can get there in time."

…

Enter the living room.

Zhou Ziwu put the eggs and milk in his hand into the pile of gifts in front of the two of them.

What surprised him was that neither Chu Dahu nor Ren Xiuying, who had reacted fiercely before, said anything.

This made him hold all the reasons inside.

Logically speaking, the two of them should be able to tell who sent the eggs and milk.

Zhou Ziwu suddenly felt that the two people in the living room seemed to be hiding something from him.

Half past twelve noon.

A family of four sat at a big table, preparing to eat.

Chu Weiguo finally made ten vegetables and one soup. Of course, six of them were steamed vegetables, which came out of one pot. If they were stir-fried vegetables, then I don't know what time it would be to eat.

Facing his good granddaughter's look of "Is this what you mean when you don't prepare any food, just make do with it?", Chu Weiguo said with a cold face: "Are you coming or not? Your grandma and I both eat this. Why, we can't eat it."

Good order?"

"Okay, of course." Chu Qingqiu smiled and said, "Don't say ten dishes, even a hundred dishes are appropriate."

If she was a child, she might still feel that her grandfather didn't love her, but now, doesn't she understand what kind of awkward character the old man has?

Ren Xiuying is too lazy to talk about this old man. You said that you are half buried in the ground. Can you just talk to make people worry less? You still let people guess what you are thinking all day long, just like a child.

Maybe he was a little embarrassed by being looked at, so Chu Weiguo said: "Let's eat."

After a sound of bowls clattering, Ren Xiuying sighed.

"What's wrong, grandma, the food isn't to your liking?" Chu Qingqiu asked with concern.

Ren Xiuying shook her head, "No, don't you think this room is too quiet?"

"It seems a little bit. How about I turn on the TV."

"No need." Ren Xiuying stopped her granddaughter who was about to get up, and looked at her with hatred, "You girl, I don't know if you really don't understand or you are just pretending. What I mean is that you two should have a baby as soon as possible.

If I have a grandson in my arms, won’t this house be lively?”

Grandma's words reminded Chu Qingqiu of the four sentences on the bamboo sticks in Xiangjie Temple, as well as the prediction made by the master at the interpretation office that he would have two children in the future, and a certain hateful guy's words "I am not in good health."
