In the six months since Zhang Zhong came back, Peng Peng has also grown a lot. Now she has reached Zhang Chong's waist. I measured her two days ago and it has exceeded 110 centimeters.
This girl shouldn't be short in the future, after all, she has Zhang Zhong's excellent genes here.
Now Li Yan wants to pick up Pengpeng, but it takes a lot of effort.
Zhang Zhong himself also needs to exercise, otherwise he won't be able to hold Pengpeng in two years.
When she came out of the study, Pengpeng was teaching Li Yan spells.
"It's Loukou Motou Maotis, not Loukou Motou Moutis. Auntie, you read it wrong."
"Yeah, Loukou cat-headed cattis."
"Oh, oh, aunt, you are wrong again. It's Loukou Mottis. You can't learn from this, aunt."
Hehe, Teacher Pengpeng is still angry.
Zhang Zhong walked over, took the chopsticks from Peng Peng's hand, and said, "I can only say so many incantations today. I will come into the room with me to do my homework soon, you know?"
Pengpeng suddenly jumped into Li Yan's arms, "I want to play. It's just for children to play during the Chinese New Year."
Zhang Zhong's mouth twitched. Who told her that Chinese New Year is for children to play with? His eyes glanced at Li Yan, who quickly raised her hands and said, "I didn't teach her."
"I'll do my homework tomorrow, but I took these chopsticks back. If your grandma sees it, she'll talk to you again." Zhang Zhong took the chopsticks and went to the kitchen. He didn't really want Peng Peng to do his homework.
The Chinese New Year is for children to play, which actually makes sense...
Hu Huifang and the others went to their uncle's house again today. It seems that his daughter-in-law came home today, and her uncle came to pick her up. They were also accompanied by their uncle.
Zhang Xingjun's shop has been completely closed recently and will not reopen until the end of the first lunar month.
His small shop sells mostly stationery and snacks for children, with little oil, salt, sauce and vinegar. Unlike other tobacco and alcohol supermarkets which are particularly busy at the end of the year, his shop's business is half as fast when students are on holiday.
Zhang Zhong has also been free these past two days. Although he has not found an agent, the copyright affairs for "The Conspiracy" seem to have been stopped because of the Chinese New Year. Hua Yi did not come to ask, and Provoking Literature did not continue to look for him.
He himself was not in a hurry, but was happy to be at peace.
…
Time flies so fast, and on New Year's Eve, when it's time for dinner, the house feels like a war, and the main battlefield is the kitchen.
Because this is Zhang Zhong's first year back from the hospital, life at home has become much better, which is of extraordinary significance to their family.
Hu Huifang wanted to do something big and had already listed a terrifyingly long recipe.
The New Year's Eve dinner in Jiangyang must include fish - which means there will be more than enough every year.
There must also be meatballs - it means reunion.
Chicken, nostoc, yuba, and sausages all have their own meanings.
On New Year's Eve, I eat chicken noodle soup in the morning, spicy soup at noon, and dinner in the evening. I don't feel very hungry after eating breakfast and lunch, just to save my stomach for a big meal in the evening.
Zhang Zhong and Li Zhuo were sitting in the living room listening to the sound of a war in the kitchen. They couldn't help but cover their stomachs. They had already digested what they had eaten during the day, and now they were relying solely on their willpower to support themselves.
Li Zhuo is even worse. He came back from southern Hunan last night and drove all night. He didn't get much sleep during the day and is still a little depressed.
"Chongzi, you can't ask Aunt Huifang not to cook so many dishes. How can we all eat them all?" Li Zhuo said, poking Zhang Zhong's arm.
Zhang Zhong glanced at him, "How about you go?"
Li Zhuo shrank his head, "Then forget it."
…
After a while, Li Zhuo poked Zhang Zhong again, "Brother, please do me a favor. During dinner later, if my mother talks about blind dates or anything like that, I will change the topic to you. You see
"Well, you are indeed my brother." Li Zhuo was so moved that he almost cried.
…
After three rounds of wine, five dishes, and the New Year's Eve dinner, Wu Aiying suddenly said, "It's the new year soon. What plans do you young people have?"
Li Zhuo's eyes froze and he glanced at Zhang Zhong.
Zhang Zhong immediately said, "Ask Li Zhuo what plans we have at home. Didn't I hear you said you were going to go on a blind date with him last time? I think the matter will be done after this year. They are busy with time, so they should do it earlier."
As soon as possible, Li Zhuo can work with peace of mind."
Li Zhuo:#￥#￥%#￥%#
Because Li Zhuo attracted most of the firepower, Zhang Zhong was able to escape. Looking at Li Zhuo's resentful eyes, Zhang Zhong could only shrug his shoulders, saying that there was nothing he could do to help.
After the New Year's Eve dinner, they were not in a hurry to watch the Spring Festival Gala. Instead, a large number of troops came to Wu Aiying's community to visit them.
This is also the community where Zhang Zhong and his friends originally lived. Many of them are old neighbors and they have good relationships with each other.
Zhang Zhong followed them, visiting one family at a time.
He had not said hello before when he came back from the hospital, but this time it was a formal meeting with them to announce his return.
After walking around for a while, the two families sat together to watch the Spring Festival Gala.
No surprise at all, Shen Jian is here tonight. He is still a sketch, a bit derived from "The Necklace", which satirizes this year's subprime mortgage problem.
Listening to the unstoppable laughter of Hu Huifang and the others, Zhang Zhong knew that this skit was a success.
…
Li Zhuo didn't stay at home for long, and left on the third day of the first lunar month.
After the third grade of junior high school, Zhang Xingjun and the others also started visiting relatives. In fact, they started visiting relatives in the second grade of junior high school. They were originally going to Zhang Zhong's grandma's house, but Zhang Zhong's grandpa and grandma had passed away long ago, and he only had one uncle.
I live in the countryside, so I only go to my uncle's house every year after visiting my nearest relatives.
When I went to my uncle and his third uncle's house, Zhang Zhong also went there, but he neither gambled nor drank, so he was a bit out of tune with them, so he usually found a place to sit.
Pengpeng didn't need him to worry about it. If a bunch of children gathered together, it would be heavenly. She probably forgot that she even had a father.
After her relatives were gone, Hu Huifang began to visit her old colleagues. She taught in a school. Some of the teachers had been friends for decades, and they were no longer just colleagues.
At this time, Zhang Zhong had some free time. The old couple went to visit a colleague's house, and Zhang Zhong himself took Peng Peng at home.
…
On the twelfth day of the first lunar month, the family didn't go anywhere. Hu Huifang and the others didn't visit relatives, and Wu Aiying, Li Yan and others also came over.
After dinner, Pengpeng was playing with her aunt. Suddenly, someone turned off the light in the living room, and the room became dark.
Pengpeng was startled and immediately hugged Li Yan tightly.
