In the evening, Zhou's mother made a large table of dishes to welcome He Yingqing and He Yingxun, and kept putting vegetables into the two bowls of them during the meal.

"Eat more, you're welcome, just treat this place as your home. Zhou's mother said with a smile while serving vegetables to the two of them. There is nothing more satisfying than seeing her future daughter-in-law.

"Mom, you can just eat it yourself, look at other people's bowls, there are still so many dishes that you haven't eaten. After Zhou Jingming sandwiched a piece of meat for Xuan'er, he looked at Zhou's mother helplessly and said.

Da Xun's bowl is okay, he can eat as much as Zhou's mother clips, but a person like He Yingqing who eats a small amount and eats slowly can't keep up with Zhou's mother's speed.

As soon as Zhou Jingming said this, Zhou's mother immediately became embarrassed, "Look at me and I'm happy, then I won't give you vegetables, what do you want to eat, go and pick up the dishes yourself, if you have any special dishes you want to eat, tell your aunt, auntie will go to the town tomorrow and buy some vegetables and come back." ”

"Auntie, I'm not a picky eater, I'll eat whatever you do!" He Yingxun is self-cooked everywhere, and he is not polite at all when he eats, and at this time, he has almost two bowls of rice.

"Sister, what do you see me doing, Auntie didn't say everything, treat this place as your own home! ”

"Yes, yes, Daxun is right, our family doesn't pay so much attention to eating, as long as we can eat enough. Zhou's mother hurriedly replied with a smile.

And Zhou's father, who was sitting on the side, was eating silently, and occasionally put vegetables into Zhou's mother and Zhou Jingming's bowls, always with a faint smile on his face.

After a happy meal, He Yingqing's initial timidity slowly disappeared. After eating, Zhou's mother and Zhou's father were busy cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, and He Yingqing felt that it was not good for her to do nothing, so she had to go up to help. Zhou's mother was reluctant to let her work, so she hurriedly asked Zhou Jingming to take her away.

"Old man, you said that our family Ah Ming, when did he grow so big! When he was born, he was so big, but I didn't expect that he would have a partner now. Zhou's mother, who was washing the dishes, suddenly stopped the movements in her hand and said with emotion.

"What, why are you dissatisfied with other people's children?" asked Dad Zhou with a smile.

"Of course not, I liked this girl at first sight, if Ah Ming marries her in the future, it will be Ah Ming's blessing, that is, there is a feeling that the son he has raised for so long has been snatched away all of a sudden. ”

"Okay, people won't treat our son badly. I'll leave it to me here, you hurry up and make the bed, didn't we just make a new quilt this year, and take it out. Dad Zhou smiled and said with relief.

When sleeping at night, Zhou's mother and He Yingqing are in the same bed, Zhou's father takes Xuan'er to sleep together, and Zhou Jingming sleeps in the same bed with Da Xun.

When he woke up the next morning, Zhou Jingming saw Xuan'er sitting on He Yingqing's lap, with big round eyes, looking at He Yingqing and saying, "Sister, you are so beautiful!"

The little girl tilted her head with a look of envy.

"When Xuan'er grows up, she will be very beautiful. He Yingqing pinched her little face and said with a smile.

"Is it as beautiful as my sister?"

"More beautiful than my sister!"

…………

"Wow! Our Xuan'er is so beautiful! Who bought this new clothes!" After Zhou Jingming washed his face, he also squatted in front of Xuan'er and asked with a smile.

"Sister bought it!" Xuan'er immediately replied obediently.

Zhou Jingming opened his hands, "Come, brother, hug me." After eating at noon, would it be okay to help my brother paste the Spring Festival couplets together?"

Today is the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, and according to tradition, the Spring Festival will be pasted today.

"Good. The little girl suddenly threw herself into Zhou Jingming's arms and said.

After lunch, with the joint efforts of everyone, all the Spring Festival couplets were finally pasted, and now if you go around the village, you will feel that the flavor of the New Year is getting stronger and stronger.

At that time, TV was not yet popular, and the Spring Festival Gala did not become a must-have program for the New Year as in the future, so there was no custom of watching the Spring Festival Gala, the family gathered together, wrapped dumplings together, chatted together, the whole house was full of laughter, and there was nothing like this that made Zhou Jingming feel relaxed physically and mentally.

After the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, the next step is the traditional New Year's Celebration, from twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, the village will sound crackling firecrackers, even the poorest people, will not be on the firecrackers, the air is full of gunpowder smoke left after the firecracker explosion asked.

Although at this time of the New Year, you can't see the dazzling fireworks, you can't see the wonderful Spring Festival Gala, and you can't even have new clothes, but Zhou Jingming just thinks that this kind of New Year is more flavorful, and the further it goes, the lighter the New Year's flavor will be.

The next day, on the first day of the Lunar New Year, Zhou Jingming took He Yingqing and Xuan'er to go door-to-door to pay New Year's greetings......

Zhou Jingming stayed at home for a full week this time, and he was not ready to return to Shencheng until the seventh day of the Lunar New Year.

This time when they went back, He Yingqing and He Yingxun went with them, and as for Zhou's father, he would stay at home for a few more days, and then go to Shencheng with Uncle Liu and them.

When I went home, I brought back a large bag, and when I went back, Zhou's mother specially made a lot of delicious food, and asked Zhou Jingming to bring them, and it was convenient to eat them when they arrived in Shencheng.

I was running all the way again, because I bought a train ticket for noon, and when the three of them arrived at the car factory, it was already dark. The next morning, Zhou Jingming took He Yingxun to the gear factory, and the gear factory will start in a few days.

After the equipment was checked, Zhou Jingming and He Yingxun posted a lot of Spring Festival couplets on the room of the gear factory, and after doing all this, Zhou Jingming sat down with He Yingxun.

"Da Xun, have you decided on the selection of equipment last time?" Zhou Jingming asked after taking a sip of hot tea.

"I chose, I chose it a long time ago, but I forgot to tell you at the time. As he spoke, He Yingxun took out a piece of paper from the cabinet and handed it over.

Zhou Jingming took it and looked at it carefully, and then asked, "Are you sure it's this type of machine tool?" If it's okay, I'll apply for a loan tomorrow." ”

Applying for a loan to buy a machine tool is the most important thing for Zhou Jingming to return to Shencheng this time.

"Sure. He Yingxun nodded, "I have gone through all kinds of reference books, although this kind of machine tool is also imported, but it is definitely the most cost-effective one." ”

"Okay, then buy it according to the model you gave, I will prepare the materials for applying for a loan tonight, and we will go to the bank tomorrow." Zhou Jingming immediately made a decision.
