The bus was opened on the afternoon of the third day of the new year.

Gong Liguo's family began to visit relatives, and Zhang Dongming was going back to the county.

After eating in the morning, Zhang Dongming gave the house key to Li San and his family, and then left them 500 yuan. The two of them still said they didn't want anything, and in the end, Zhang Dongming put the money on the kang and ran away.

When he went out of the gate, Li's third daughter-in-law shouted from behind: "It's good for Xiaowan, sister-in-law and your third brother are waiting to drink your two wedding wine." ”

Zhang Dongming turned his head happily: "Okay!"

There are a lot of people in every bus trip during the Chinese New Year, all of them are overloaded and overloaded, and then they are busy visiting relatives and can't take a taxi if they want to, and it is not safe for Zhang Dongming to go back as a bus.

When the bus slowly drove away from the hometown, Zhang Dongming's heart was a little heavy.

After the New Year, the summer of '03 is just around the corner!

Of course, he will definitely come back in the process, but no matter how much he returns, he can't stop the pace of time.

Birth, old age, sickness and death, no matter what the outcome is, face it strongly.

On the road, the seriously overloaded buses, the smooth and icy road, the winding and rugged mountain road, the swaying and trembling apprehension, three hours, finally arrived in the county safely.

Warm room, soft sofa, comfortable hot shower......

At least in winter, at least in the Northeast, the city is really much more comfortable than the countryside.

Before going back, the two of them bought a lot of vegetables in advance, stewed some rice, fried strip fish, fried some peanuts and beans, and added a bottle of beer, and the meal was very good.

Leaning back on the sofa to watch TV, Tang Wan called: "Arrived home?"

Zhang Dongming lit a cigarette leisurely: "Ah, it's more than two o'clock, and I just finished eating." ”

"What are you eating?"

"Fried hairtail, fried with peanuts. ”

"There's also a bottle of beer, isn't it? ”

"It's all known. ”

"Every time you fry peanuts and beans, just put the clothes first, and I'll go back and wash them. ”

"I'm done. ”

"I guess I threw the pants in the washing machine again. ”

"No, hand washed. ”

"Ghost Caixin, I'll go back tomorrow, look, I'll find you early......"

didn't say a few words, Tang Wan was lively and chattering, and many people started to coax, and the two of them hung up.

Then he called Erhezi, Erhezi and his daughter-in-law went to the door to come back on the eighth day of the first month, saying that he asked Dongzi to send him something in the evening, Zhang Dongming said no, he would go to the roller skating rink tomorrow to get it.

Dongzi is the most valued and trusted little brother of Erhezi, and he is also the head of those younger brothers below, because of the beating of him, he has seen him twice, and he is still a little embarrassed to see him: "Brother Dongming." ”

"We're about the same age, don't be my brother's in the future, it's too awkward. ”

Dongzi didn't squeak, and Zhang Dongming smiled and didn't say much.

He came to get a pillow and a set of tea sets, and he asked Erhezi to help him inquire about the holidays, and the pillows had already been bought, mainly tea sets, and they only arrived on the first day of junior high school.

Of course he didn't use it himself, isn't he going to Tang Wan's house, the first time he came to the door, he definitely had to get something.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, Tang Wan came back.

The two haven't seen each other for a week, and they haven't been separated for so long since they got better, Tang Wan just took off her coat and changed her slippers when she entered the door, and Zhang Dongming pushed her to the door......

lingered for a while, and it wasn't until Zhang Dongming's hand reached into Tang Wan's woolen pants that he stopped awkwardly, and said depressedly: "It's early again." ”

Tang Wan picked up the jeans on the ground and put them up, happily: "People are disobedient, and I don't have a job." ”

Zhang Dongming lowered his head and said, "Then what should it do?"

Tang Wan looked down, ignored this guy, and entered the room with a smile.

Zhang Dongmingle followed over.

During the Chinese New Year, I actually ate big fish and meat, and Tang Wan put down a handful of noodles for dinner, lay down two eggs, put a lot of cabbage leaves, and clear soup and water, and the two of them ate very well.

On the sofa, Tang Wan carried the tea set and pillows: "I really bought them for them." ”

Zhang Dongming said happily: "Definitely, the first time I saw my father-in-law and mother-in-law, how can I do it without a little heart." ”

Tang Wan stuffed a small persimmon into his mouth: "How much is this tea set, my dad understands this thing, and it's not good if it's too expensive." ”

"I don't know, don't worry, it can't be too expensive, I told Erhezi, it can't be more than five thousand. ”

"Well, that's okay. ”

The two chatted for a while about going to Tang Wan's house tomorrow, and when it was almost seven o'clock, Zhang Dongming sent her back.

The next afternoon, the two went downstairs, and Zhang Dongming said, "I really don't need to buy anything more?"

Tang Wan smiled: "No, it's redundant to buy this, just go to it." ”

"Why don't you buy some fruit or something? ”

"Alright, let's go. ”

took a taxi, and in five or six minutes, the two got off at the gate of Tang Wan's community.

I didn't feel like sending this girl back after work every day, and Zhang Dongming's heart was a little different at this time.

Tang Wan looked at him with a smile: "Nervous?"

Zhang Dongming smiled, there are few things that can make him nervous now, it's a novelty, after all, he has never experienced such a thing in his previous life: "What are you nervous, excited." ”

Tang Wan pulled towards the community: "It's nothing, it's just a casual meal and chatter, you can do what you want, my mother is very talkative, my dad you have seen it before." ”

"That's okay, don't behave better, in case they're unhappy, why don't you let your baby daughter marry me?"

"What you said is not to propose marriage. ”

"Oh, no, I thought it was. ”

"Go upstairs and be serious, don't be hippie and smile. ”

"Isn't that serious? ”

"Okay, don't make a fuss, go upstairs......"

Tang Wan's family lived in 302 on the third floor, and at the door, Zhang Dongming took a breath solemnly.

Tang Wan looked at him with a smile and knocked on the door.

Knock! Knock!

What came out was a woman in her forties, medium height, although she wore an apron, but her temperament was very quiet and elegant, and she looked very similar to Tang Wan, and at first glance it was Tang Wan's mother Zhao Yumei.

Zhang Dongming smiled and said politely, "Auntie." ”

Tang Wan smiled and introduced: "Mom, this is Zhang Dongming." ”

This was the first time Zhao Yumei had seen Zhang Dongming, so she naturally looked at him and said kindly: "Ah, Dongming, come into the house." ”

When the two entered the house, Tang Wenliang walked over from the sofa in the living room, and Zhang Dongming also smiled politely: "Uncle." ”

The last time I met Tang Wenliang was a realistic state, of course Zhang Dongming couldn't get so close in words and deeds, and at this time, he came to the door, so naturally he couldn't call Director Tang anymore.

Tang Wenliang smiled and nodded, Zhang Dongming said: "Uncle, auntie, the first time I came, I don't know what to bring to you, I heard Xiaowan say that uncle usually likes to drink tea, so I brought a set of tea sets over, I know that Auntie doesn't sleep well at night, I heard that mung bean shell pillows are good for sleep, and I don't know if it works." ”

Zhao Yumei said angrily: "Dongming, you see that you are too outward, come and bring things." ”

Zhang Dongming said: "It should be. ”

Tang Wenliang looked at him and said with a smile: "Don't take it as an example." ”
