Chapter 25 The Spring Festival Reunion

In [-], it passed quietly amidst the cold wind and heavy snow.

In January 24, the [-]th day of the twelfth lunar month, Zhou Bingyi took Hao Dongmei back to Jichun from the Corps.

Wang Zhong went to pick him up, he didn't ride a bicycle, he took a bus.

Having not been home for six years, both Zhou Bingyi and Hao Dongmei were unavoidably a little timid about their hometown. When they got out of the station, they sat on the bus and looked here and there. Smiling all the way, holding hands along the way never let go.

Arriving in front of the house, Zhou Bingyi looked at Wang Zhong in surprise, looking at the brand-new courtyard gate and the greatly changed courtyard, doors and windows: "Bingkun, you made all of these?"

Wang Zhong was carrying his luggage: "It's nothing to mess with, hurry up, don't stand here, it's cold weather, you can bear it with rough skin and thick flesh, sister-in-law's body is so delicate!"

Zhou Bingyi smiled and said: "I still know that I feel sorry for your sister-in-law, that's good, let's hurry up and get in the house!"

Hao Dongmei's heart warmed, her brother-in-law was indeed different when he grew up, and he knew how to love others.

Not seeing each other for six years, the change of this little uncle Wang Zhong is not insignificant.

But after thinking about it carefully, it seems normal, after all, the only man in Old Zhou's house is Wang Zhong.

Wang Zhong walked in front, Zhou Bingyi and Hao Dongmei followed behind.

As soon as the door was opened, a chubby little thing jumped up excitedly with short legs: "Dad! Dad!"

"Mom! Grandma! Dad is back!" Xiao Congcong, who is more than two years old, can already walk and run, and can talk in unison. For Wang Zhong, a strict father, he is afraid and loves him. Get close.

"Brat, you're disobedient, why did you run out alone again!" Wang Zhong first put the salute in his hand on the table, then bent down to pick up the brat who was holding his leg, and reprimanded him with a straight face.

"Cong Cong helps grandma make dumplings." Xiao Douding still had flour on his face, clothes, and hands, and he was dancing and anxiously explaining, which was very cute.

"Cong Cong is this big?" Zhou Bingyi looked at the strong and fat little Zhou Cong with a surprised and joyful expression. Hao Dongmei, who was holding Zhou Bingyi's hand, also looked at Zhou Cong in Wang Zhong's hand with a smile on his face. .

"This is Uncle and Aunt, please call someone!"

Zhou Cong was a little afraid of strangers, seeing Zhou Bingyi and Hao Dongmei staring at him, he immediately shrank into Wang Zhong's arms, but refused to call anyone.

"This kid usually speaks very diligently, but I don't know what's wrong today!" Wang Zhong explained.

Zhou Bingyi and his wife didn't feel at ease: "Children, it's inevitable that you are a little shy, just wait until you get familiar with it!"

Li Suhua who heard the voice also opened the curtain and came out, wearing a scarf in front of her body with a lot of flour on it, holding a rolling pin in her right hand, and a half-rolled dumpling wrapper in her left hand.

"Bingyi! Dongmei!"

"mom!"

When mother and son meet again, it is inevitable to embrace each other passionately and tell each other their hearts.

"Don't just stand here, go sit in the house!" Wang Zhong spoke at the side, and Li Suhua hurriedly dragged the elder son and his wife into the house after realizing it.

Zheng Juan and Guangming, who had big bellies in the room, were standing by the table with some flour still on their hands. On the table was a plate of already made dumplings, a bowl of pork and cabbage stuffing, and a bowl of leek and egg stuffing. There is also a stack of rolled dumpling wrappers and a small pile of small dough pieces.

After saying hello to each other, Li Suhua pulled Zhou Bingyi and his wife to sit on the kang, and seemed to have endless words to say. Wang Zhong took over Li Suhua's burden and took over the job of rolling the leather. Li Suhua is slow.

Hao Dongmei still wanted to help, but was stopped by Li Suhua.

"You guys have just arrived home, and the journey has been exhausting, just take a rest!"

"Mom! You know how to speak idioms!" Wang Zhong, who was rolling out the skin, joked with a smile.

"Dad! Dad! What is an idiom!" Xiao Zhou Cong stood on the small stool by the table, pulling Wang Zhong's cotton trousers, a head higher than the table, but he was very curious. Due to his age, his memory was limited. , learning and understanding ability is also limited, but very curious about everything.

"Congcong, come to grandma, grandma will tell you!" Li Suhua spread his hands towards Xiao Congcong.

Little Zhou Cong tilted his head, looked at Li Suhua, then at Zhou Bingyi and Hao Dongmei who were sitting opposite Li Suhua, thought for a while, then pulled Wang Zhong's cotton trousers off the stool, and walked towards Li Suhua was still calling for grandma to hug her.

Li Suhua carried the boy onto the kang, took off his shoes, and wiped off the flour sticking to the boy's body.

"Don't look at this kid's young age, he's skinny like a monkey, he's not afraid of me and his mother at all, so he'll be honest with Bingkun."

Hao Dongmei's eyes fell on Xiao Zhou Cong most of the time.

With Li Suhua around, after a while, little Zhou Cong became acquainted with the uncle and aunt he just met. The little guy is restless, especially after he gets ripe, he grabs a few melon seeds and peanuts for a while. A few dried dates were given to grandma, aunt, and uncle.

In Wang Zhong's words: This kid is used to acting coquettishly to please his elders, and he will definitely be a clever ghost when he grows up.

After a while, imitating Wang Zhong's usual behavior, he knocked the melon seeds in his mouth, then stuffed the saliva, melon seed skin and melon seeds into Hao Dongmei's hands, and shouted, "Auntie eats, Auntie eats."

It made several adults dumbfounded.

However, Zhou Cong, a kid, was running around among the three of them, and he had a great time playing with himself, and the smiles of the three adults never stopped.

In the evening, Wang Zhong wanted to take Zheng Juan, He Guangming and Zhou Cong back to Taiping Hutong, and gave the back room to Zhou Bingyi and Hao Dongmei, but Zhou Bingyi said that he hadn't been home for a long time, and he had a lot of things he wanted to say to Li Suhua, so he and Hao Dongmei followed Li Suhua just slept in an outhouse.

Wang Zhong didn't object even after thinking about it, and asked Guangming to move to the back room to sleep with the couple, and it wouldn't be too late to talk about returning to Taiping Hutong when Zhou Zhigang got home.

But the little guy was so fussy that he wanted to sleep with his pretty aunt at night.

Hao Dongmei also liked this little guy very much, so she nervously asked Wang Zhong and Zheng Juan for their opinions.

Naturally, Wang Zhong and Zheng Juan didn't mind!It's just that Zheng Juan is a little embarrassed: "This kid is not used to sleeping on the kang, he always likes to wet the bed in the middle of the night!"

"It's okay, it's okay, I'm here!" Seeing that Hao Dongmei liked her eldest grandson, Li Suhua was too happy, and immediately patted her chest to assure her.

Not to mention, Zheng Juan, who has always been capable, is not as skilled as Li Suhua when it comes to raising children, let alone Hao Dongmei, a newcomer.

Hao Dongmei also hurriedly said: "Don't worry, younger brothers and sisters, it's normal for children to pee on the kang." She really likes to look at Zhou Cong, who is lively and cute.

Seeing Hao Dongmei's love for Zhou Cong, Wang Chongjue did not refuse.

Speaking of which, Hao Dongmei is also a poor person.

The little guy was full of energy, running and jumping on the kang, rolling over and over again, and after getting acquainted with Hao Dongmei, a beautiful aunt, he also got close. The smile on Hao Dongmei's face never broke, and his eyes never left Congcong.

Seeing that Hao Dongmei likes Cong Cong so much, Li Suhua felt happy in his heart.

He even began to look forward to the situation where Hao Dongmei would give birth to her a few grandchildren.

"Congcong is only two years old this year, isn't he? This body, this head, looks similar to other people's children who are three or four years old." Zhou Bingyi also likes Zhou Cong very much. Hao Dongmei is barren, and the couple is doomed to have no children. , Zhou Cong is now the only blood of the third generation of the old Zhou family.

Li Suhua said with a smile on his face: "I don't know where this kid has got his appetite. He eats more in one meal than other four or five-year-old children. He especially likes to eat meat."

"Juan'er also feeds him egg custard, milk, and malted milk every day. Bingkun also lets him run around, saying that eating well and exercising more can grow fast and be healthy."

It is also because Wang Zhong's monthly income is not low, otherwise, ordinary people's homes would not be able to withstand such a situation.

The child was full of energy, but he was too tired after making a fuss for a while. He started to feel sleepy and yawned continuously. Hao Dongmei gently coaxed the little boy to fall asleep gradually, with a gentle smile like a loving mother on his face, and his eyes were full of love.

Seeing this, Zhou Bingyi couldn't help feeling mixed feelings in his heart, but more of it was pity for Hao Dongmei.
