Qian Wen and Zheng Juan came today to put up Spring Festival couplets and window grilles, finishing all the unfinished things at home.
It was mid-afternoon, and Zhou Zhigang should have returned at this time. Qian Wen and Zheng Juan greeted Zheng's mother Guangming and went home.
"Guangming, I eat a lot of meat at home, otherwise I won't be able to grow taller."
"I know, brother-in-law." Guangming said with a smile.
Guangming looked at where Qian Wen and the others were standing. His eyes seemed to be able to capture images, unlike before where his big eyes were blank.
"Mom, don't be reluctant to use the lights at home. I'll put away the kerosene lamp for you." Zheng Juan said, holding Zheng's mother's hand.
Zheng's mother has aged a lot, but she is more energetic than before, and she is also a little fatter.
"Okay, okay, no need, no need." Mother Zheng agreed with a smile.
"Mom, Guangming's eyes have improved. Using a kerosene lamp is not only bad for your eyes, but also bad for Guangming's recovery.
We don't need those few dollars, I will pay the electricity bill, just use it without worry, don't feel bad," Qian Wen asked.
After years of treatment, my bright eyes have miraculously improved, but they are still covered in a layer of fog and I can't see the image clearly, just a very shallow blurred outline.
"Okay, Mom listens to you.
Go back quickly, Kangkang's grandfather should have returned.
I definitely want to see my eldest grandson when I get home, so don’t be impatient." Mother Zheng patted Zheng Juan's hand, and then touched Xiao Kangkang, who was lying obediently in Zheng Juan's arms, a little tired from playing.
"Kangkang, say goodbye to grandma."
"Grandma...grandma..." Xiao Kangkang is only one and a half years old. He has just been able to speak, but he still speaks awkwardly, and his little face is red.
Qian Wen turned around and was about to leave. He thought of something again. He stopped and turned around and said, "Mom, I've filled up the coal in this house. You can use it when you need it. Don't worry about the money. It's not much money."
It's been the coldest these days, you and Guangming don't freeze, especially you, your health is not good."
"I know, Mom, listen."
The two of them felt relieved and said, "Mom, let's go."
Because there has been light snow in Jichun City these days, and the muddy roads in the light area are difficult to walk on, Qian Wen's family did not ride bicycles, but walked here.
When returning, Qian Wen held his son and Zheng Juan held his arm.
The rain boots were squeaking on the muddy snow. Xiao Kangkang listened to the sound, babbling, babbling, and clapped his little hands.
"It's really impossible to walk on this light road. It was better a few years ago, the road was wide, but now it's narrow. When it rains or snows, your feet are covered with mud.
Juan'er, hold on to me and don't slip."
"Well, be careful and walk slower."
The road was muddy, light snow was falling, and the weather was relatively cold. We didn’t meet many people on the road. They were all sitting together at home to keep warm.
Old Zhou family.
"It took two days and two nights. I was so tired that I couldn't stand any longer. I gritted my teeth and gave up.
He slipped around a bit and got under someone else's seat.
As soon as I open my eyes, I'm home, it's like sleeping in a berth all the way.
It didn’t cost any money, so it’s good, hahaha.” Zhou Zhigang, who had arrived home, was half-lying on the sofa in the living room, Zhou Bingyi was rubbing his legs, and the two were chatting.
After not seeing each other for many years, father and son have endless topics to talk about.
"Come and soak your feet. This is what Bingkun gave me for daily foot soaking. It is said to relieve fatigue and clear the meridians. Anyway, it is good for the body, so you can also soak your feet." A wooden foot soaking bucket was placed in front of Zhou Zhigang's feet. Li Suhua
Recalling what Qian Wen said to her, she recalled and repeated.
"Hey, this is a decoction, I can make some bubbles.
Your mother's life at home is pretty good, I'm a little envious of it, hahaha." This year, the family reunited, and Zhou Zhigang was extremely happy, with joy in his words and in his eyes.
"Just say that it was right to keep Bingkun at home. He is more considerate than me and more peaceful than Zhou Rong.
You see, my mother takes good care of everything in this family.
When I came back this time, I was really surprised and ashamed that even though I was a big brother, I didn't do anything." Zhou Bingyi squatted in front of Zhou Zhigang's feet, stretched out his hand to test the water temperature, and said with emotion.
"Dad, please try to see if it's hot or not."
Zhou Zhigang soaked his whole feet in the wooden barrel, soaked in the brown soup, and squinted his eyes in comfort, "It feels good."
Bingkun really takes good care of this home.
When I left, I wasn't worried about Bingkun. I was afraid that he wouldn't grow up, and that he wouldn't be able to take care of your mother or our old Zhou family.
But who would have thought that the last time I came back, someone gave me a big mouth and someone was watching through the crack in my door.
I came back today and this place is even better.
They all have a feeling of dissatisfaction with old age.
Bingkun has made his mark, great."
Zhou Zhigang thought about the scene when he came back today. When he got off the train, he was too tired, so he took a light rail train to a city near Guangzi Film. The conductor was from Guangzi Film. When he recognized his enthusiasm, he pulled him
His hand insisted on paying the fare for him.
He also praised his old Zhou family all the way, saying that he had a good son and how great he was. The people in the car looked at him, and he felt a little embarrassed. He was both arrogant and thin-skinned.
When I got off the bus, I realized that it was the younger son who saved the other's mother.
Saving a life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. This is bringing blessings to the old Zhou family. He is so proud that he can't close his mouth.
"I really didn't expect that Bingkun would be able to achieve what he is now. I didn't care about him too much at the beginning." Zhou Zhigang suddenly said with emotion.
Zhou Bingyi and Hao Dongmei, who was packing Zhou Zhigang's luggage, looked at each other and smiled. Although Zhou's father's praise was too obvious and demeaned them, they didn't mind at all.
Instead, they sighed and felt lucky. If the younger brother in the family hadn't suddenly become successful, they would have had the chance to have a child. They were mostly grateful and not jealous.
"Comfortable, damn, this time when I go back to the mountain city after the New Year, bring me some of this foot bath medicine. After work, it will feel so comfortable." Zhou Zhigang said with squinted eyes.
"Okay." Li Suhua looked out the window, "Bingkun and Juan'er should be back soon.
Let them take your pulse, look at your body, and take care of yourself, so as not to tire yourself out."
"Come back soon?" Zhou Zhigang also looked out the window, there were ice flowers on the window glass, "Bingkun also took my eldest grandson out after knowing that I was coming back today.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Isn't this because he is worried about me? He must still remember the last time I came back to kick him.
Bingkun has become more promising, but he is not as honest as before, no good." Zhou Zhigang laughed and said, thinking of his eldest grandson, the eldest grandson of the old Zhou family, he felt happy in his heart.
When I was in the mountain city, I looked at the photo of my eldest grandson that was sent to me. I couldn't put it down and held him to sleep at night. He looked smart and would be a pillar of his future.
"What you said is that you won't let Xiao Kangkang see his grandma anymore." Li Suhua rolled her eyes at him.
"Look, look, is your mother unreasonable?" Zhou Zhigang was choked by his wife, and he laughed loudly and asked Zhou Bingyi in front of him to comment.
Zhou Bingyi felt happy when he saw his parents making fun of each other. He hadn't felt this way for a long time, and he missed it in his heart.
"By the way, where is Zhou Rong?" Zhou Zhigang asked.
Speaking of Zhou Rong, Zhou Zhigang had a somewhat straight face.
"Going to find Cai Xiaoguang." Zhou Bingyi said.
He is also a little confused about his sister now, and he doesn't understand how young she is, but she is still so unrealistic and willful.
"What's going on between her and Cai Xiaoguang, and how many years have they been together?
Are we still talking about objects?
Does she want to get married at thirty?
I cannot afford to lose this person, and the old Zhou family cannot afford to lose this person.
When she first talked about "Guang Zi Pian", she was always praised for how sensible Zhou Rong was, and "Guang Zi Pian" was like a flower and how knowledgeable she was.
What is she going to do now, to die alone?
Look at the letter she wrote back to me. She eats well, wears well, works hard, and has a good family.
With Bingkun here, how can it be better? Let her say it!
When she asked her about her marriage, she avoided the important and took the easy. Did she treat him like a fool?
The older you get, the more disobedient you are. Back then, you still wanted to have sex with that Feng Huacheng..." The angry Zhou Zhigang suddenly stopped talking, and then slapped the solid wood sofa hard.
Hiss~
Used a lot of force.
"Rebellious girl!"
Zhou Bingyi didn't know much about this matter, but he knew that after he left, his younger sister seemed to want to elope with a man who was more than ten years older than him, or to do a labor camp.
He can't understand this behavior now, what kind of thinking is it. I heard that the younger brother slapped her when she was angry. If he hadn't left at that time, he would have had to exercise his elder brother's power and slap her.
Do you still have the old Zhou family in your heart? How will the neighbors in Guangzipian view their old Zhou family? Do you want others to poke the backbone of their old Zhou family?
I can't afford to lose that person!
"We need to have a good talk with Zhou Rong. We are both grown-ups, and we are still becoming more unrealistic and willful every day!" Zhou Bingyi said.
"When I come back this time, I also want to solve Rong'er's matter. What is she going to do day by day!
Do you think I made a mistake when I stopped her from going to your district? Bingkun and I made a mistake?
Invisible resistance? Show her resistance to me!"
As he spoke, Zhou Zhigang became angry and clapped the handrail repeatedly.
The current Zhou Rong is not like in the play. In your district, the sky is high and the emperor is far away. The family is afraid that she will suffer, and they don't understand it in their hearts. But after getting angry, they quickly forgive her in their hearts, and everyone finds a way out for themselves.
.
At present, she is no different from ordinary family children. She is no longer rare and rare in front of her eyes. On the contrary, under Qian Wen's comparison, everything is wrong.
Especially Zhou Rong has a dark history, and now she is not popular.
Everyone in Lao Zhou's family is willful in their hearts. The older they get, the more disobedient they become, and they are not as cute as they were when they were young.
Hao Dongmei, who was standing aside, was a little embarrassed. She, the sister-in-law, couldn't agree to it at this time.
Kakakka~
The embarrassed Hao Dongmei heard the door opening and turned to look.
Xiao Kangkang staggered in wearing festive tiger-head shoes.
"Big... aunt..."
"Is it cold, Kangkang?" Hearing Xiao Kangkang's call, Hao Dongmei melted and hurried over to pick up Xiao Kangkang.
Her pretty face was pressed against Xiao Kangkang's fleshy, tender little face, and she rubbed her face intimately.
"Mom, is dad back?" Qian Wen and Zheng Juan changed into slippers and called to the living room after entering.
"I'm back. I'm soaking my feet. I'm tired from the journey. You can massage his feet tonight." Li Suhua also came over and patted Xiao Kangkang's coat of the fallen snow.
Wow~
The sound of running water.
Then there was a series of footsteps.
Zhou Zhigang appeared, and his eyes widened as he looked straight at Xiao Kangkang, who was being carried by Hao Dongmei.
"Dad, this is a solid wood floor, not the previous cement floor. It can't get wet." Qian Wen was heartbroken when he saw Zhou Zhigang's bare feet, which were wet and filled with water as he stepped on the solid wood floor that he had worked so hard to get.
All broken.
Every piece of this is money!
Zhou Zhigang ignored him. Now Zhou Zhigang is arrogant. It shouldn't be that he is arrogant. He has been filled up by old Zhou's parents and grandson Xiaokangkang.
He stretched out his hands to hug Xiao Kangkang, but seeing that it was a stranger, Xiao Kangkang went straight into Hao Dongmei's arms and hid.
Zheng Juan saw Qian Wen's face turned green and looked at the wet wooden floor with heartache. She felt funny in her heart and patted him with a smile, "Okay, I'll mop the floor. You let Xiao Kangkang and grandpa kiss."
"
"Kangkang, this is grandpa. Didn't mom show you grandpa's photo?
This is grandpa, but I like Kangkang so much, I call him grandpa." Zheng Juan went up and coaxed the child.
"Yes, I am grandpa." Zhou Zhigang looked at Xiao Kangkang longingly, wanting to hear him call him grandpa.
"Dad, put on your shoes first." Zhou Bingyi ran over with slippers and a foot wipe.
Zheng Juan gave Qian Wen a look and told him to quickly ask Xiao Kangkang to call him grandpa.
Xiao Kangkang's closest relative is his father. As long as he is around, Xiao Kangkang never cries or makes trouble and is very obedient, making even Zheng Juan's mother jealous.
"Kangkang, look what this is." Qian Wen waved his hand, and a piece of handmade goat's milk candy wrapped in candy paper appeared in his hand.
Xiao Kangkang's eyes widened immediately, and glistening saliva quickly flowed from his pink mouth. He stretched out his little hand and said in babbling words, "Sugar...sugar..."
"Don't let Kangkang eat it all, just give him a sip. The child is too young to eat it." Qian Wen handed the goat milk candy to Zhou Zhigang.
Zhou Zhigang simply ignored him, took the goat milk candy, and teased Xiao Kang, "Call me grandpa."
Xiao Kangkang's mouth was drooling. He looked at Zhou Zhigang and hesitated for a moment. The piece of candy tasted so good, "Master... Master..."
"Hey~" Zhou Zhigang responded hurriedly, with a smile on his face.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! And Xiao Kangkang’s cute appearance amused everyone present, and they all became happy and laughed.
Children are the treasures of the family. The younger they are, the cuter they are, especially when they are learning to talk. Moreover, Xiaokangkang’s baby is tender, pink and carved.
Qian Wen and Zheng Juan went to get mops and soft cloths to wipe the floor. They felt sorry for their own things. After a while, Li Suhua also came to help. She knew how expensive this thing was.
"I told you not to lay any solid wood floors, but you just didn't listen, saying that it didn't suit the temperament of the home.
Now is it appropriate to stick your butt out?
I would say the original cement floor was very good, durable and easy to clean." Li Suhua complained.
"Mom, when you are praised, you smile and accept it completely. That's not what you said." Qian Wen took the mop from Li Suhua's hand and asked her to accompany her father Zhou who had just returned.
Li Suhua glared at him and muttered, "It just looks good, but not practical."
Qian Wen almost vomited blood when he heard this. He almost sold his blood to get this thing. It was much harder to get than that black and white TV set.
Zheng Juan on the side was delighted when she saw this and whispered, "Brother, it's really not practical."
Qian Wen's heart was filled with confusion, and he trembled, "You don't know the goods!"
Zheng Juan laughed out loud. It was rare to see her husband being embarrassed. Now it seemed quite interesting. There was something special about it.
"I'll come, Bingkun, you go and accompany dad." Sister-in-law Hao Dongmei came over.
I have never done anything like jumping in line. In the beginning, when it was very difficult for the educated youth, there were not even latrines, so the pig pens were used as toilets.
"Sister-in-law, don't touch your hands, it's done.
Just wipe it with water, it's nothing." Qian Wen smiled and straightened up.
On the other side, Zhou Zhigang was happily teasing Xiao Kangkang, accompanied by Zhou Bingyi.
Xiao Kangkang, who had just taken a break on the road, was energetic again, giggling, babbling and playing with Zhou Zhigang.
Li Suhua also took down many toys from the second floor, which Qian Wen carved for his son in his free time.
Qian Wen and Zheng Juan washed their hands and walked over.
Zhou Zhigang glanced at him, looked at Zheng Juan, and said solemnly, "Juan'er, thank you for your hard work."
Zheng Juan was startled, then looked at Xiao Kangkang who was playing with toys, understood, and said with a smile, "Dad, I am the wife of the Zhou family."
Zhou Zhigang nodded without being too pretentious and looked at Qian Wen, "What's going on with this TV?
Now that you are so capable, you can buy all these things?"
Qian Wen was speechless, "Why don't you pretend that Father Yan is feeling uncomfortable in front of me?"
Zhou Zhigang reacted to stress and habitually wanted to slip on his shoes when he got up.
Qian Wen took a step back and said, "Kangkang, your grandfather wants to beat your father."
"Bad...bad...bad master...master..." Xiao Kangkang hugged Zhou Zhigang's leg and bit him.
The bite was quite strong, causing Zhou Zhigang to take a breath.
"Kangkang." Zheng Juan saw this and hugged her hurriedly.
Zhou Bingyi was quite speechless when he saw this. This is what happened.
Who should I ask him to help? He will be in a dilemma if he is caught in the middle.
"Kun'er." Li Suhua patted him.
"I have a son to protect me." Qian Wen said proudly.
"Humph!" snorted the deflated Zhou Zhigang, ignoring his now sharp-tongued younger son and continuing to tease his eldest grandson.
He didn't have any real dissatisfaction with his current youngest son. The family was doing so well and he was so popular among the neighbors that it was too late for him to be happy.
I just don't realize it all the time, and I have to teach it in front of my younger son, otherwise I feel uncomfortable all over.
It doesn't mean anything, it's just a habit.
"I can't buy a TV.
I treated my father, the provincial leader above, for an illness. After he was cured, the leader was happy and gave me this thing.
It's vague and dark, so let's take a quick look at it.
After a few years, I will replace our home with a color TV set," Qian Wen said.
"You said you were fat and you were out of breath.
Bingyi, please help your brother, he's already going to heaven before you even praise him.
If I were to praise you, it would be even more extraordinary. It also has a color TV.
Why don't you drive me a car back and let me ride in it?" Zhou Zhigang said to him on a daily basis.
Qian Wen rolled his eyes. When he left last time, he acted as if he was the backbone of the old Zhou family, but now he has forgotten it in just three years?
Simply.
"Actually, cars are not impossible." Qian Wen said, touching his chin.
"Kangkang, we will not learn from your father in the future. We will study and go to school honestly and become pillars." Zhou Zhigang used Qian Wen as a negative teaching material to educate his eldest grandson.
Qian Wen was depressed when he saw this, "No one believed what he said. The car seemed so great."
From now on, license plates and parking spaces will be king.’
Chatting and laughing, teasing Xiao Kangkang, getting angry with Zhou Zhigang, and chatting with elder brothers and sisters-in-law.
Zheng Juan and Li Suhua sat aside, smiling, listening, and knitting sweaters in their hands.
At first glance, the style looks like a well-off one.
Near dusk, Zhou Rong came back.
As soon as he entered the door, he was overjoyed at first when he saw Zhou Zhigang, but when he saw Qian Wen, his mouth bulged and his head tilted.
Not to mention how contradictory it is, I just really hate comparing her with the other person now.
Every time she competes, she will have a heart attack and be autistic for a long time.
"Dad." Zhou Rong ran over like a good daughter.
"Where are you going? A girl comes home after dark." Zhou Zhigang looked at Zhou Rong and said.
"I went out with Cai Xiaoguang." Zhou Rong explained.
Zhou Zhigang teased Xiao Kangkang with toys, while looking at Zhou Rong, frowning and suddenly asked, "When are you and Cai Xiaoguang going to get married!"
He actually didn't want to ask in such a hurry, but seeing his daughter getting older year by year, he was anxious as an old father.
