On the Dragon Boat Festival in 1975, Cen Shishi, who had worked in Suzhou for six years, returned to his hometown after a long absence. It was really a coincidence, as soon as he stepped on the steps of the stone archway at the entrance of Yahou Street, he ran into his little sister Cen Limin, who came to greet him. Her surprise call of "big brother" made him really feel at home.

"This is my sister-in-law," approaching, looking at the young woman following the eldest brother, the dexterous Cen Limin immediately guessed the identity of the comer, but without waiting for the other party to answer, she found the boy who was being held on the back by the eldest brother: "This must be my little nephew Coco." ”

"No, you've been upgraded to be an aunt. Seeing that the little sister had grown taller than when he visited the house three years ago, Cen was very happy, he put down the bag he was carrying, and while busy untying his son from the nursery belt he was wearing, he handed it over to the little sister who had already stretched out his hands, and introduced to his wife Qi Fuya: "This is my sister Limin." ”

"Do you still need to say this?" Qi Fuya glanced at him, "She called my sister-in-law and told me who she was." ”

"Who is as smart as my sister-in-law?" Cen Limin hugged the nephew that Cen pragmatically handed over, kissed and kissed, and said with a smile: "However, the most well-behaved is still my eldest nephew." You see, as soon as I hugged him, he smiled at me, and he didn't recognize Shengsheng at all, Shengsheng was a member of our Cen family. ”

Hearing her say this, Qi Fuya smiled and said nothing.

"Sister-in-law, I didn't say the wrong thing just now, right?" Seeing this, Cen Limin hurriedly explained: "You don't know, I heard that you have a child, not to mention how happy your father, mother and grandmother are - oh, grandma also said that Coco came to this world, not only the virtue of the Cen family, but also the merit of the Qi family." ”

"Grandma is talking so interestingly. Hearing Cen Limin say this, Qi Fuya laughed.

"Let's go, the family is waiting for you at home. Knowing that you were going to visit your family, everyone was overjoyed. Originally, my mother was going to come with me to the alley, and I was waiting for my grandmother, and I didn't know when the shuttle bus you were taking would arrive, so I persuaded me, who knew that I met you as soon as I arrived at the alley, isn't this a good luck?" Cen Limin hugged her nephew, very happy in her heart, and led her brother and sister-in-law in front of her, while talking non-stop. The three of them laughed and laughed along the way, attracting the attention of many neighbors.

"Limin, a visitor?" said someone who knew her warmly.

"Yes, my brother and sister-in-law came to visit the house with my nephew. Limin responded with great joy.

"Hey, isn't this pragmatic?" Several old neighbors who had been living in Yahou Street recognized the comer who followed Cen Limin, "You haven't been back for a few years, have you?"

"Yes, yes, it's me, it's been more than three years since I last came home. Seeing the familiar and unfamiliar crowd enthusiastically surrounding, including Hao's mother, Wu Wangxia and a few other elders who watched him grow up, Cen pragmatic stopped, greeted everyone with a smile, and answered their questions, "Actually, I always want to come back, but it's not fake, I can't move." ”

"It's like that for people who work outside. The crowd understood.

"Go back quickly, the family must be in a hurry. There was an empathetic reminder in the crowd.

"Okay, let's get back to it. Cen pragmatically waved to everyone and walked towards home. As soon as I entered the house, I saw my mother and grandmother greet me with smiles on their faces. Especially grandma, she was trembling and excited.

Seeing this, Qi Fuya hurriedly put the bag in his hand on the ground, drove a few steps forward, and held the old lady.

"Pragmatic, this is your daughter-in-law, right?" Mrs. Cen looked at Qi Fuya in her eyes and asked her grandson. It can be seen that she is very satisfied with this granddaughter-in-law just now.

"Yes, Grandma. Qi Fuya replied respectfully.

"Good, good, pragmatic to be able to marry you, it's his blessing. Seeing Qi Fuya's handsome eyebrows, fair skin, and soft speech, the old lady was very happy.

"Grandma, my brother is blessed, and you are even more blessed," Cen Limin heard this, and hurriedly walked over and hugged her nephew to her, "Look, this is your great-grandson, how good he looks!"

"Isn't it?" Looking at the Cen family's blood and bones held by Cen Limin, holding the white and tender little hand, the old lady was very happy, and her face smiled like a blooming chrysanthemum. Just looking at it, her eyes were wet.

"Grandma, what's wrong with you?" Qi Fuya felt that something was wrong.

"I am happy, thinking that this is the ancestor who has accumulated virtue, otherwise how could my old woman be happy to have her great-grandson and four generations in the same house!" said the old lady in a trembling voice. After a pause, he said, "Isn't that bad woman named Yang Qionghua always looking for your father's fault, how about it?

"Mom, it's a pleasure for them to come back, don't be sad, let's talk about some things later. Zheng Wenshu was beside her, and hurriedly comforted, while speaking, she stretched out her hand to help her mother-in-law.

"Not sad, not sad, I'm happy. Mrs. Cen said in a loud voice.

"Mom, I'm coming. Seeing this, Qi Fuya hurriedly helped Mrs. Cen and walked slowly towards the house.

"Mom, what about Dad?" Cen pragmatic picked up his wife's bag on the ground, followed Zheng Wenshu into the hall, and looked around in his eyes.

"I was still at home, but I was called away by the school when you came. Jung replied.

"Didn't Dad become the principal?" Cen Shicheng felt a little strange.

"Now it's your Uncle Luo and Aunt Fan who are in charge, and they can't help but ask your father to give him an idea. Zheng Wenshu explained pragmatically, and then said to Cen Limin: "Crazy girl, don't just care about your own happiness, give me a hug, let me take a good look." ”

"So what am I doing?"

"Pour tea for your brother and sister-in-law first, and then go to wash rice and vegetables, your sister-in-law and they came from the provincial capital, and they have been in the car for so long, but they are afraid of being hungry. ”

"Mom, it's still a while before noon, so I'm not busy," Hearing her mother-in-law say this, Qi Fuya hurriedly said, "I'll cook later, you just need to tell where the vegetables are." ”

"It's your first time at home, so let's take a break. ”

"Yes, Mom. ”

"I'll do it, sister-in-law. Cen Limin smiled and handed the child to Zheng Wenshu, "I know you can't wait for a long time, give it to you!" Just before changing hands, he couldn't help but kiss Coco's pink face again.

"Be careful, don't hurt him. Looking at her greedy appearance, Zheng Wenshu was a little anxious.

"No, it won't. Cen Limin felt that her mother was worried too much.

"It's still our cocoa!" hugged her grandson and looked at it carefully, Zheng Wenshu gave birth to a joyful and satisfied emotion from the bottom of her heart. She looked up at Cen Shishi and Qi Fuya, then looked down at Coco, and said, "This kid is like both dad and mom, and he has taken the strengths of the two of you." ”

Listening to this, Cen Shishi thought it was very interesting. Just as he was about to respond to his mother's statement, a large group of people poured in from outside the door, some knew and some didn't.

"Pragmatism, you haven't been back for a few years. Far away, Jiang Yizhen called away.

"He Zheng's mother, you can marry a good daughter-in-law, look at how handsome she looks. Hao Zhi's mother congratulated Zheng Wenshu.

"I think the most pleasing thing is the little baby, you see this little guy, how much more energetic. Grandma Ruan in the courtyard across the gate took the cocoa from Zheng Wenshu and kept teasing. Her son was promoted to head of the regiment not long ago, but she was not very happy, because her son had been married for six years, and her daughter-in-law's stomach still did not move. Therefore, looking at the baby of the Cen family, his eyes were too hot.

Listening to the big guy's gossip, Cen Pragmatic and his mother didn't know who to answer for a while. Often this side of the conversation is not finished, and the other side of the conversation is thrown again. In fact, everyone didn't think about asking the mother and son of the Cen family to answer anything, but they just felt that the residents of Yahou Street had happy events, and the neighbors should follow suit.

But Cen was pragmatic and still answered everyone's questions seriously. But just as he listened to the question of the Hao family's mother beside him and turned his head to her, he suddenly found that among the watchers at the gate of the courtyard, there was a familiar face.

Isn't that the female teacher who was assigned to her father's school when she was just admitted to university? After thinking about it for a while, she remembered: By the way, her name is Lu Chunyi, and the last time I visited my family, I heard my little sister tell me that after the outbreak of the Cultural Revolution, she became a rebel, mixed with Yang Qionghua, and was very unkind to her father.

"Pragmatism, what do you see?" Qi Fuya was a careful person, and when she saw that Cen Pragmatism seemed to be a little distracted, she asked from the side.

"Ah, nothing. Cen pragmatic turned around and covered it up. But when he looked at it again, he found that Lu Junyi was no longer in place and disappeared from the crowd.

After talking for a while, I saw that when I was cooking lunch, the neighbors gradually dispersed.

"Mom, my craftsmanship is not good, you should fry the dishes. "Wash what should be washed, cut what should be cut, Cen Limin saw that her task was completed, and said to Zheng Wenshu.

"It's okay, you go to school and call your father, saying that your brother and sister-in-law and Coco are all home, and ask him to come back early. Zheng Wenshu handed the child to Cen Pragmatic, took off the apron from the wall and tied it, but when she turned her head, she found that Cen Limin had taken Coco from Cen Pragmatic's hand again, so she asked, "Tell you to call Dad, what are you doing with Cocoa?"

"I showed it to my dad. Cen Limin grinned, shaking the child in her hand slightly as she laughed.

"It's because you didn't hold enough yourself," Zheng Wenshu couldn't rest assured, "Be careful, don't flash cocoa." ”

"Mom, don't worry, I'll go with Limin. Qi Fuya saw that there was nothing to do at home for a while, so she followed Cen Limin out of the door.
