As the Wang family got closer and closer to home, the news of their return also reached the ears of the Wang family.
"Lanfen, you are finally back this year!" Wang walked to her door and saw a gray-haired old lady coming to greet her.
"Grandma!" Wang couldn't help but shed tears when she saw her.
"Good boy, it's a big festival, don't cry!" The old lady saw Wang's tears and her eyes were red, but she quickly took her hand, reached out and took out a handkerchief from her sleeve and gave it to Wang
wipe.
"Well, I saw you and cried with joy!" Wang's words still had a nasal sound.
"Qingya, Shanwa, come and see your great-grandmother!" Mrs. Wang quickly called Zhuqing and Zhushan to come and see her.
Because Zhuqing was not an original, she didn't know these relatives from Wang's natal family. However, she stayed with Zhushan in order not to expose any flaws.
It wasn't until Wang called them that she pulled Zhushan forward.
"Hello, great-grandmother!" Zhuqing and Zhushan said in unison to greet Mrs. Wang's grandmother, Mrs. Zhang.
"Oh, Qingya, Zhushan, you are here! Qingya has grown a lot taller! Her skin is whiter, she looks better!" When Mrs. Zhang saw Zhuqing and Zhushan, she pulled Zhuqing over.
, looked at it carefully.
Then she looked at Zhushan again: "This is Zhushan? I saw it when I was in third grade! He was really thin and small at that time! This child has grown so big! I heard Zijun said that he is already studying.
?Okay, okay! That’s great!”
She said three hellos in one breath, holding Zhushan with one hand and unwilling to let go.
"Good boy, your mother has suffered a lot for you! When you are successful in the future, you must not forget this! You must be nice to your parents!" Mrs. Zhang told Zhushan.
"Yeah, great-grandmother, don't worry! I will study hard and serve my parents well when I grow up!" Zhushan nodded firmly and said.
"Well, good boy! Grandma I believe you can do it!" Mrs. Zhang touched Zhushan's head, then turned around, only to see Zhuqing's grandmother Fang, her eldest aunt Zhang and her second aunt Jiang also standing in front of the door.
.
They were smiling and watching the interaction between Zhang, Zhuqing and the others. At the same time, they nodded and greeted Sun Fucheng: "Brother-in-law, stop standing around and go sit in the room!"
"Grandma, it's cold! Don't you love Qingya and the others the most? Zhushan is weak and can't stand the cold. Let's go back to the house quickly!" It was aunt Zhang who stepped forward to interrupt them.
"Hey, that's right, it's cold outside! Let's get inside quickly!" Zhang was reminded by her and reacted.
"Look at my memory! I'm so happy just patronizing it! Come on, come and sit in the main room! The charcoal basin has been prepared in the room already!" Mrs. Zhang quickly pulled Zhuqing and the others into the house.
Before entering the house, Ms. Wang called her stepmother Ms. Fang in a low voice: "Mother!"
A trace of uneasiness flashed across Mrs. Fang's face, and she smiled: "You're here, come in quickly! It's cold outside!"
Wang then followed Zhuqing and the others into the main room.
Others may have turned a blind eye to the interaction between their mother and daughter, or they may have deliberately ignored it. However, Zhu Qing noticed it.
Unlike great-grandmother Zhang, who was very passionate about her mother Wang, Fang, who they wanted to call grandma, seemed to have a much colder attitude.
Zhuqing didn't know the reason. She thought it was possible that some people were born cold on the outside and hot on the inside. They were not good at expressing their feelings when there were many people.
Of course, she had never heard Wang mention her grandmother before. On the contrary, her grandfather mentioned it much more.
The Wang family's house was quite large in their village, with eight main rooms in a row. They entered the main room where their grandmother Fang and their grandfather lived.
At this moment, the room was already crowded with people. Since they were all family members, there was no distinction between men and women.
Seeing Mrs. Zhang bringing Mrs. Wang and others into the house, a series of greetings could be heard.
"Little aunt!"
"Little uncle!"
A series of greetings overwhelmed Wang.
She also quickly gave instructions to Zhuqing and his siblings to meet their elders.
"This is uncle, aunt, this is second uncle, second aunt, this is your first cousin, second cousin, and your first cousin, second cousin, third cousin, fourth cousin..." A series of titles
Zhuqing feels that it is really not easy to deal with others.
Her uncle, aunt, second uncle, and second aunt had been to her house before, and she still had a vague impression of it. It was just that she had to recognize four cousins of similar ages at once, and Zhu Qing said it was really not easy.
However, it was difficult for her to recognize them, but that didn't stop them from being enthusiastic towards her.
"Cousin Zhuqing! We have heard of your name a long time ago!" A slender boy with slightly dark skin was the first to greet the Zhuqing siblings.
"You are really not simple! You actually have the ability to capture the Wu family's scarred tiger!"
"Yes, I heard from Zijun that you can also make peppermint oil? He even used some for me, and it was really useful! Zhuqing, did you come up with it yourself?" You are not particularly tall.
But the young man who looked quite strong also squeezed in front of Zhu Qing.
Hearing them mention his "great achievements", Zhu Qing felt a little embarrassed.
"I'm actually not that powerful. None of this is due to me alone!" Zhu Qing said modestly.
She doesn't want to be the object of admiration from her cousins!
She just wants to have some simple family affection and warmth.
"Qingya, please stop being modest. This is obvious to everyone. Our friends in the village are all envious of us for having such a capable cousin like you!" A chubby girl also walked up to the bamboo.
Next to Qing, he said to her with enthusiasm.
Compared to Zhuqing, who was surrounded by several cousins, Zhushan stood alone behind Zhuqing, and no one cared about him.
Zhuqing didn't want Zhushan to be left out and in a bad mood the first time she came to her grandfather's house. So she pulled Zhushan with a smile and said to several cousins who came to her: "Actually, I can be so powerful, thanks to
Where’s Zhushan! If Zhushan hadn’t been by my side to encourage me, I wouldn’t have been so brave! Every time I go out, I just want to protect Zhushan. In the end, he is actually braver than me!”
The cousins and the cousin didn't expect Zhuqing to say that, but they soon realized that their eagerness to make friends with Zhuqing only caused Zhushan to be left out in the cold. They couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed on their faces.
However, meeting her cousins for the first time, Zhuqing didn't want everyone to be unhappy because of trivial matters. Therefore, she chatted with her cousins about the New Year.
