The couple talked in the bedroom for a while and lingered for a while before they both put on their clothes and came out of the house with toiletries in hand.
As soon as Fang came to the yard, Chu Heng and the others saw Mrs. Zhou, who had gotten up at some time, standing outside Grandma Wu's room and looking in, wiping her tears while looking.
"This is Grandma Wu's daughter, Zhou Ju." Chu Heng introduced her to his wife softly.
"Why."
Looking at the old figure, Ni Yinghong felt quite uncomfortable: "My mother and I have not seen each other for decades, and when we meet, we are separated forever."
"Okay, don't get messed up with me." Chu Heng looked at his wife who was crying with him speechlessly, and pulled her to the side of Mrs. Zhou: "Auntie, when did you get up?
ah."
Zhou Ju hurriedly wiped her tears, turned around, glanced at Ni Yinghong first, and then said to Chu Heng with a forced smile: "I've been up for a while. I'm getting older and I feel less."
"Haha, come, let me introduce to you, this is my wife, Ni Yinghong." Chu Heng introduced.
Zhou Ju looked at Ni Yinghong, smiled before saying anything, and said sincerely: "This girl is so beautiful, she looks just like the one in the painting. You two are a perfect match standing together."
"Hehe, let's not stand here, aunt, let's go, I'll help you sit down for a while." Ni Yinghong stepped forward with a smile, helped Mrs. Zhou to sit down in the pavilion, and after saying a few words, Deaf
The old lady came out of the house on crutches.
"Xiao Hengzi is back." She squinted her eyes, raised her walking stick, pointed at Zhou Ju and asked, "Is this the daughter of the Xiumei family?"
"Yes, she is Grandma Wu's daughter." Chu Heng quickly introduced to Zhou Ju: "Auntie, this is Grandma Wu's biological sister, that is, your aunt."
Zhou Ju quickly stood up, walked quickly to the old lady, held her arm, and said with red eyes: "Auntie."
"Oh, it's good to be here, it's good to be here." The deaf old lady held her hand excitedly: "If I can look at you before she dies, your mother can also rest in peace."
"I'm sorry for my mother, aunt, for not being able to come back and see her all these years." Zhou Ju wiped her tears with shame on her face.
The deaf old lady glanced at her, who was sallow, skinny, and covered in patches. She could guess what was going on in her family without asking. She shook her head and sighed: "Don't cry, my child. Every family has its own scriptures that are difficult to recite. I don't blame you."
.”
"To say one thousand and to say ten thousand is because I am unfilial, auntie."
"Hey, don't talk about this now. Have you seen your mother?"
"I saw her, but she hasn't woken up yet. I was afraid of waking her up, so I took a few glances outside."
"Don't worry, I'll wake up in a while. Come on, go into the house with aunt and chat with me for a while."
The old lady took Zhou Ju back to the room, while Chu Heng and Ni Yinghong wiped themselves off and went to the bathroom.
After washing up, the couple came out of the bathroom. The fifth child just got up and was carrying the basin and walking from the front yard with the two children.
"Get up, Fifth Brother." Chu Heng greeted him with a smile, and introduced Ni Yinghong and the others to each other.
"Fifth brother." Ni Yinghong smiled at him generously.
"Alas, brother and sister." Lao Wu lowered his head cautiously and stared at his toes. After saying a few words, he hurriedly led his daughter and son to the bathroom to wash up and use the toilet.
After the family of three came out, Zhou Ju called them to the deaf old lady's house. Soon, she heard the old lady's happy laughter in the house.
"Haha, okay, okay, the little girl is very clever, and she can't stand a loss at first sight."
"Auntie, you are right, this girl is very powerful."
"It's good to be awesome, it's good to be awesome."
The old man has been alone for half his life, and now he suddenly has several grandchildren and great-grandchildren, and it is inevitable that he will be happy.
It was lively there for a while.
Duan Fengchun and Qin Jingru also got up and came out one after another. After washing, they went to the old lady's house to get acquainted with the Feng family, and then everyone in the courtyard began to have breakfast.
There were a lot of people in the house today, and the four members of the Feng family had quite a lot of food, so Yang Guizhi didn't do it too carefully. She steamed two large cages of white flour rolls, cooked a pot of millet porridge, and boiled eggs and pickles.
For the Chu family, this was a simple meal, but for the Feng family, it was very rich.
The Hanamaki is white and soft, the millet porridge is thick and fragrant, the pickles have a unique flavor, and the eggs are still enough to eat.
Before, they never dreamed that they could eat like this in the morning!
As a result, the family was inevitably starved again.
Especially the little girl, whose small body actually ate four adult-sized rolls, two bowls of porridge, and five eggs in one go, and her belly almost burst.
The little tiger girl who wanted to compete with her to see who could eat was shocked on the spot.
"Don't move, don't move. There's no way you can let the guests do the work. It doesn't make sense. Just put it down."
After dinner, Mrs. Zhou wanted to help clear the table, but was stopped by Chu Heng: "Let's go, Auntie, let's go see Grandma Wu. I think she will wake up later."
When Zhou Ju heard that she was going to visit her mother, she gave up and went to Grandma Wu's room with Lao Wu and Chu Heng.
The old lady hadn't woken up yet. She was lying on the kang with her eyes closed, her face as golden as paper and her breath like gossamer.
Looking at the old lady on the kang, Zhou Ju couldn't help but feel sad. She sat aside with tears in her eyes and sobbed.
The girls Xiao Ni who came with him hurriedly stepped forward to comfort him.
"Aunt Zhou, don't be like this. If the old lady wakes up and sees it later, she will definitely feel bad."
"Quickly wipe your tears."
Perhaps the sound of their conversation disturbed Grandma Wu, and while several people were trying to persuade her, the old lady's eyelids moved a little, and she slowly opened her eyes.
"Wake up, my grandma is awake."
Lao Wu was the first to discover it and hurriedly reminded the others.
Everyone immediately became quiet and looked at Grandma Wu who was lying beside her, and saw that her eyes were slowly turning, looking around.
"mother!"
Zhou Ju came forward with a sad voice and held the old lady's hand tightly.
"Xiao...Xiaoju! Is it Xiaoju!" Grandma Wu opened her eyes wide with excitement, raised her other hand with a trembling voice, and gently rubbed Zhou Ju's old face: "You...why are you...so old?
?”
"Woooooooooo..."
Zhou Ju was speechless. She held her mother's withered palms and burst into tears.
Grandma Wu suddenly became anxious, and she didn't know where she got the strength. She sat up suddenly, held her daughter in her arms, and comforted her with tears: "Don't cry, don't cry, Xiaoju, mother is fine."
"Oh, oh, oh, I'm sorry for you, mother, I'm unfilial."
"Mom doesn't blame you, I don't blame you. Mom knows you have difficulties."
"mother!"
The family affection that had been accumulated for nearly forty years suddenly broke out violently at this moment. The mother and daughter hugged each other and cried, making Lao Wu, Xiao Ni, Qin Jingru and others beside them shed tears.
After a while, the mood of the mother and daughter relaxed a little. Zhou Ju quickly pointed to Lao Wu and the others beside them: "Mom, this is the fifth son of my family. Your grandson, this is the eldest son of the fifth family, and that is the youngest daughter."
"Grandma."
"Grandma."
The three men stepped forward and called for help quickly.
"Okay, okay." Grandma Wu was immediately happy, and her pale face suddenly turned red. She hurriedly pointed to the kang cabinet: "Xiaoju, there are candy bars in my cabinet, so I put them in the biscuit box. Go get them.
Come out and give your children some points."
"Hey, sit tight then, mother."
Zhou Ju carefully helped her sit up against the wall, then stood up and went to the kang cabinet. She took out a Prairie Sisters cookie box, opened it and saw that it was full of candies, with colorful ones.
There are also fruit candies, rare White Rabbit milk candies, and some candies that Chu Heng bought from Friendship Stores and abroad.
These are what she usually saves for Chu Zhecheng and Huniu to eat.
