Rebirth: Don’t be a coward and be a mother’s baby

The same day we returned to Yunlu City.

The weather was clear and cloudless.

Chu Fan came ten minutes earlier than the agreed time. As soon as Dong Heyi saw him, he jumped into his arms and coquettishly asked his brother to hold him.

So he helped carry the suitcase with one hand and held a small towing oil bottle in the other.

"Good boy, thank you for your hard work." Zhou Chunyan looked at Chu Fan, becoming more and more satisfied.

"It's a small matter." Chu Fan said in a polite tone, "I will deliver grandma and sister safely."

When Dong Heyi heard that she was not mentioned, he immediately shouted, "There's me, there's me!"

Everyone was amused by the little girl's cute appearance. The four of them ate some bread to cushion their bellies in case they got car sick on the long journey. Zhou Chunyan didn't dare to let them eat more.

"Take these water and bread snacks with you. If you are hungry or thirsty on the way, you can use them as a cushion."

Zhou Chunyan warned them carefully. In her eyes, Chu Fan and Xie Jianjia were both children. She was a little worried about two children taking care of a younger child and an old man.

"Be sure to call me when you get there. If anything happens on the way, call me. My phone is always on."

After sending the person to the car, Zhou Chunyan gave a few more worried instructions.

Zuo Liang ran over panting and holding a box of things.

"Jiajia, this is the chicken soup I made when I got up early in the morning. I keep it warm in two large thermos pots. I specially put a few extra chicken legs in it so you can eat it on the way."

Xie Jianjia took it and put the thing firmly by her side, feeling a little touched. No wonder there was no one who was busy in the kitchen early in the morning. It turned out to be making chicken soup for them.

"Okay, let's eat on the way."

The car did not take the national highway, but took some detours. Stopping and walking along the way, Dong Heyi woke up and fell asleep, fell asleep and woke up again, and finally arrived at Yunlu City at ten o'clock in the evening.

It was relatively late, so Dong Ming did not arrange a place in the hotel, but directly cooked for a family dinner with Lu Xiang, with Dong Feng and Huang Qiaoxiu helping.

"Godfather!"

She saw a familiar figure standing at the gate of the community from a distance. After the car stopped, Xie Jianjia opened the car door and ran towards the figure.

"Eh!"

Dong Ming was extremely happy when he saw the little girl. When he saw her legs running and jumping normally, he felt even more excited. He opened his arms and waited for the little girl to pounce on him.

Xie Jianjia threw the person into her arms and shouted "Godfather" excitedly, and Dong Ming responded one after another.

It was an extremely ordinary scene, but Grandma Dong felt the urge to cry.

Xie Jianjia let go of her hand, showed a sweet smile like she had done many times when she was a child, and said to Dong Ming affectionately in Yunlu dialect: "Godfather, I'm home, and I want to eat the food you cooked."

Dong Ming touched the little girl's head, his eyes turned red.

"Okay, okay, okay, are you hungry? Are you tired from this journey? I know you are a greedy girl. I cooked the dinner myself, and your godmother fried some vegetarian dishes. I am the chef. "

Xie Jianjia smiled even more and held Dong Ming's arm.

"I'm so hungry. The road is too long. I was talking about the food you cooked when I was in the car. I couldn't think of anything."

Although they haven't seen each other for more than two years, the two are not unfamiliar at all. Dong Ming's affection for Xie Jianjia's calf licking is beyond words.

"Uncle, there's me, there's me, look at me~"

The little Dong He jumped up and down, trying to get Dong Ming to notice her. Sure enough, after hearing her voice, Dong Ming immediately apologized and then stretched out his hand for her to take. A middle-aged man with short hair slightly white at the temples and a slightly stooped figure is holding a little girl who walks crookedly on his left hand, and holding a slim girl on his right hand. The picture is very warm.

After Chu Fan parked the car, the five people went upstairs.

The door of the house was open. When I walked to the corridor, I saw Huang Qiaoxiu busy with three plates in her hands. Dong Feng was pouring red wine. Lu Xiang was pulling Dong Ziyang to move things. One of the two elderly people from the Dong family was sitting in a wheelchair watching TV, and the other Peeling peanuts.

Hearing the movement at the door, everyone put down what they were doing and swarmed towards the door.

It's as lively as the Chinese New Year.

"Oh, why is the baby so thin?" Old Man Dong said with pity in his voice.

"Jiajia." Huang Qiaoxiu choked up.

"Jiajia, you're back?!" Dong Ziyang's tone was full of surprise.

"It'll be good to come back, it'll be good to come back." Lu Xiang took Xie Jianjia's hand and touched her all over, as if to confirm whether she was missing any arms or legs.

In the past two years in Linhai City, Dong Ming was unable to leave the province due to status reasons and could only call to greet him every now and then; the Dong family was getting older and could not travel far away, and Lu Xiang had to take care of a large family and could not leave; Huang Qiaoxiu The factory was at an important time of development, and she couldn't spare the time to take care of her biological daughter, so she left it to the full-time nursery class. Dong Feng travels all over the country on business, and every time he passes by the cities around Linhai, he brings something to see Xie Jianjia. Dong Ziyang went to college, and would also take the train to Linhai City to see Xie Jianjia and Zhou Chunyan during holidays.

Zhou Chunyan took a few photos from time to time and sent them to Dong Ming.

The two families have maintained contact in this way, and daily communication is still based on phone calls.

The table at the table, except for Chu Fan, was all members of the family. There were no rules or family mottos, so they could feel free to do whatever they wanted. Chu Fan silently carried out the task of feeding Dong Heyi, and quietly listened to Xie Jianjia and the Dong family reminiscing about the past.

The Dong family ate this meal from about nine o'clock in the evening to twelve o'clock at night. The whole family seemed to have endless things to talk about. No matter what strange questions were asked, Xie Jianjia answered them patiently, because she knew that they All because he cares about her.

Outside, Dong Ming took Dong Ziyang and Dong Feng to drink. Xie Jianjia accompanied several other elders to watch TV and chat about home affairs on the edge of the sofa. Chu Fan looked at the three people staggering around the dinner table, and then looked at the people chatting animatedly on the sofa. Several people stood up and silently put away their dishes.

If you eat other people's food, you have to be diligent and work more.

When Xie Jianjia found out, Chu Fan had already cleared the table, leaving only a bottle of white wine and a few decanters. All the dishes and chopsticks were washed and put in their proper places. Even the kitchen that had not been cleaned up in time was wiped with a rag. Clean and tidy.

Not only Xie Jianjia was dumbfounded, but several people in Nagging were also dumbfounded.

"My child, you are a guest, how can I let you work?" Lu Xiang quickly pulled the person to sit down.

Chu Fan smiled shyly, "It's okay, auntie, I always clean up, it's just a little effort."

Lu Xiang knew that he was one year younger than Xie Jianjia, but more sensible than his own son, so he couldn't help but marveled over and over again. He threw words of praise at Chu Fan like he was asking for money, and Chu Fan's ears turned red with praise.

Xie Jianjia looked at the excited godmother and guessed that she was a little drunk because she drank half a bottle of red wine and was in a mood.

But it was quite interesting to see Chu Fan's bewildered look, much more interesting than pretending to be sophisticated and serious in front of her.

"Chu Fan, reach out."

Chu Fan raised his eyes, looked at her for no apparent reason, and obediently stretched out his hand to do as she was told.

A mint candy was placed in his palm.

"Here, reward."

Rewards for hard work.

Chu Fan felt the numbness caused by the girl's fingertips across his palm, and there seemed to be a touch of softness and warmth, and his face "swish", as if he was drunk.

Three shifts
