Chapter 150: Anniversary (Additional Reminder for Kamus^_^~)
"Didn't you go up to the front yard and do it? There's no pot here, what are we going to eat? "Because Grandpa Shen's house is two streets in front of this side, everyone calls it the front yard.
Zhou Chen and Dunzi came out of the kitchen, holding two large plates of boiled potatoes, a pot of sorghum rice porridge, a plate of steamed buns of different shapes, and even a few boiled eggs.
Dunzi put everything on the grinding plate in the yard, and went back to get a large bowl of soybean sauce and a pot of watery greens and green onions. Zhou Yang also took out the pheasants that they roasted in the mountains this afternoon, and the dinner on the table was very rich.
Shen Guodong pointed to the plate of steamed buns and asked Zhou Wanwan, "Why are you still doing it differently?" ”
"It's not a family! It must have been sent by someone else when we weren't at home. Zhou Wanwan took his hand and drew a circle over the stone mill, "These must have been given to us by others!" ”
"That's smart!" Zhou Chen took out Zhou Wanwan's small bowl and spoon, hugged her and kissed her, "No matter how smart you are, you have to wash your hands and eat again!" ”
Zhou Wanwan was arrested to wash his hands, and Shen Guodong consciously followed. He was all told by Zhou Chennian that something was wrong, and as soon as he saw him at dinner, he first checked whether he had washed his hands, or he couldn't eat steadily, and he was afraid that he would find fault at any time.
Everyone washed their hands and began to eat around the stone mill.
This stone mill is enough when the height of the table is enough, but there is no stool, so you can only stand and eat. Zhou Chen directly put Zhou Wanwan on the stone mill, served her a small half bowl of porridge, and peeled an egg, completely ignoring her little eyes that wanted to eat by herself, and began to feed her in small bites.
Zhou Wanwan's protest failed, so he could only accept the reality and slowly eat what Zhou Chen fed. Being fed to eat, the biggest drawback is that she can't be picky eaters, she has to eat whatever Zhou Chen gives, and the protest is ineffective.
But tonight Zhou Wanwan didn't have the heart to worry about her personal freedom, she looked at the few people gathered around, and sighed with happiness.
Shen Guodong quietly moved the chicken that Zhou Wanwan didn't like to eat to his side, and blocked it with a pot of vegetables, hoping to make Zhou Chen not remember this dish. Feed her two less.
Zhou Chen slowly sandwiched a large piece of chicken from the dun bowl, tore it all up and put it in Zhou Wanwan's porridge, so that Shen Guodong and Zhou Wanwan, who thought they had succeeded, looked at each other sadly, and they didn't dare to make small moves anymore.
Zhou Yang laughed when he saw it. Dunzi also used a bowl to block his sullen laughter.
"Second brother! The first time we had dinner together as a family, you bullied me! Zhou Wanwan shook his little curly hair in protest. But he didn't dare to resist too much, so he dodged the spoon once, and still ate the chicken porridge that Zhou Chen fed him.
"Oh, we used to eat together a lot." Zhou Yang was touched by his sister's words, but he was embarrassed to be too excited.
"It's the first time we've eaten together at our own home." Zhou Wanwan opened his little hand to the pier. Let him carry himself over, "Brother Dunzi will be a member of our family from today onwards!" No one can snatch it away! ”
Dunzi's eyes turned red instantly, and he carefully hugged Zhou Wanwan, as if holding his most precious and beautiful dream.
Shen Guodong was jealous and looked at Zhou Wanwan expectantly.
"We have the eldest brother, the second brother, and the elder brother of Dunzi," Zhou Wanwan counted with his fingers, ignoring Shen Guodong, "No, I'll count it again...... Yes! And Brother Shen! ”
Shen Guodong let out a sigh of relief, and Zhou Wanwan smiled like a little fox. Zhou Chen and Zhou Yang looked at each other and smiled. Since knowing that they moved out, my sister has become much more lively!
Enough jokes, Zhou Wanwan was caught by Zhou Chen again and drank chicken porridge. Only then did Zhou Chen remember the topic just now.
"You're right! This was the first time we had dinner together as a family! Zhou Chen tried to blink his eyes, for this reunion, they really waited for a long time and experienced a lot.
How many nights were either fearful and helpless, or sad and resentful, he thought that their lives would always struggle in the mud pit of the Zhou family, but he didn't expect them to get out of it so quickly.
Now, they have their own home. The relatives are well, and they have unexpectedly gained precious friendship and family affection, and life is like a magnificent picture scroll gradually unfolding in front of them, so bright. Then it's worth looking forward to.
So, this wonderful start is especially memorable!
"We have to remember today and celebrate it every year from now on! It's our anniversary! Zhou Wanwan was so happy that she wanted to sigh again.
At the suggestion of Zhou Wanwan, several people toasted together with a porridge bowl! Five bowls of different sizes collided together, and there was even a small basin among them, but the sound of the collision was crisp and cheerful. The shouting "Cheers" is high-pitched and agitated, and there are no regrets in this carnival! Picture perfect!
On a few immature faces, happiness is so unscrupulous, and happiness is so full and warm. What could be more powerful than youth and hope to make their hearts so powerful! What could be better than warmth and care to make them so nostalgic and dependent!
This is their home, the best they want to be!
These five fatherless and motherless children, from this day on, form a real family. They choose their own families and strive to live the life they want to live. They are so brave and sincere, and so lucky and happy.
"Good wine!" Shen Guodong drank the remaining half of his bowl of porridge in a big gulp, and stretched out his hand to Zhou Chen, "Give the Sprinkle family another bowl!" ”
"No more! A bowl of porridge for one person. Zhou Chen gloated.
Several others laughed.
Shen Guodong didn't care if there was porridge at all, he shook his head and grabbed a steamed bun, bit off the small half, and stopped after chewing a few bites, Zhou Chen and Zhou Wanwan laughed, Zhou Yang smiled and motioned Shen Guodong to spit it out.
The dun didn't know why, so Zhou Wanwan explained to him: "This kind of square steamed bun belongs to Aunt Liu'er's family, and the second brother said that the lid of his pot may be broken, leaking, and there are always a few steamed steamed buns that are not cooked well." During the Chinese New Year, we ate two of these steamed buns. ”
Shen Guodong picked up another steamed bun and ate it unaffected: "One day I have to give Aunt Liu a pot lid!" She always sends undercooked steamed buns, who can stand it! ”
Shen Guodong ate a steamed bun and came back to life with full blood, he tore a chicken leg and began to tease Zhou Wanwan, "Nan, just two chicken legs, you say, what will we do in the future?" ”
Zhou Wanwan didn't fall for him at all, "In the future, we will have more family members, so we have to roast two chickens to eat." ”
Zhou Yang crossed the grinding plate and rubbed his sister's little curly hair. Why is this little girl so smart!
"That's one less chicken leg! There were five of us! Shen Guodong had to ask to understand.
"I'll give you a chicken butt!" Zhou Wanwan couldn't help but roll his eyes.
Zhou Yang and Zhou Chen both laughed, the first time Dunzi heard this kind of treatment, he laughed so much that he almost didn't squirt out a mouthful of porridge.
The warm and bright light of the setting sun shines in this courtyard, coating the laughter of several people with a layer of warm light.
Their first feast was so shabby that there was no table. None of the chairs, not even the food, were brought together by others, but no matter how many years later, they recalled with warmth and happiness.
After dinner, Shen Guodong happily went back to get his luggage roll. He moved in after that!
Zhou Wanwan hugged Dunzi's neck and didn't let go, "Brother Dunzi won't go back!" This is your home! "When I went back, I had to build a board shop in the Hou family's warehouse, it was damp and dirty, cockroaches and mice crawled into the quilt, and I didn't want Brother Dunzi to suffer this all day long.
Dunzi was pressed to his neck by Zhou Wanwan's tender little face, and after listening to what she said, he immediately surrendered.
"Anyway, you've explained the pig, and it's okay if you don't go back! Don't go back! Zhou Yang didn't want Dunzi to go back, and he had other plans, "Let's go see the captain tomorrow." Transfer you to our production team to work, and your household registration will also fall into our production team in the future. ”
"Is Brother Dunzi going to be my second brother?" Zhou Wanwan worked hard to help Dunzi calm down his feelings, a child of his age is really awkward, he always wants to pretend to be an adult and pretend to be mature. was obviously very moved, and he refused to let others find out, pretending to be so hard.
"Do you want Brother Dunzi to be your second brother?" Zhou Yang looked at his sister and smiled, this little guy always likes to make trouble for her second brother recently.
"Does Brother Dunzi wear pigtails?"
"Brother Dunzi will definitely learn to tie your pigtails in the future." Dunzi rubbed his face against the little curly hair that was fragrant in the evening of Zhou Wan. The heart is soft and warm.
"Learn from whom?" Zhou Wanwan looked at Zhou Chen and smiled evilly.
Dunzi also looked at Zhou Chen and smiled.
"I'll give you a bath tonight! Let Big Brother wash you! "Zhou Chen didn't fall for them!
Zhou Wanwan is honest. Zhou Yang's bathing skills are as bad as ever, and he is afraid that he will hurt his sister, so he is always clumsy and cautious and sweats. Zhou Wanwan was afraid that Zhou Chen would teach Zhou Yang a lesson, and he didn't dare to protest when he was hurt. It was really a double torture for two people.
After the five people lay down, Zhou Wanwan looked left and right in a novel way, this small kang is now lying down The five of them are just right, and if it is a little bigger, it will have to be crowded, and it seems that a new house must be built quickly.
Zhou Yang also began to plan to build a new house, "I think it's good here." It's quiet, it's a big place, it's just a neighbor of Aunt Liu, and there are few things, let's build it here, and when the time comes, give the team some money, buy this house and this land, our money is enough. ”
Everyone thinks it's a good place. The materials for building the house are poor in the soil embryo, and after the wheat is harvested, a few of them can beat it, and a few half-grown children who have no strength to do this work are not serious.
"Let's build a brick house!" Zhou Wanwan proposed. Of course, a warm, beautiful brick house is better than a mud house.
"Big brother doesn't have that much money in his hand now, and I'll build you a big brick house in two years." Zhou Yang felt a little sorry for his sister, but he was not discouraged, he was full of energy now, and felt that as long as he was willing to work hard, he could earn anything for his sister.
Zhou Wanwan sighed in her heart, in a few years, the eldest brother will not have that opportunity if he has that ability. It's almost 1966, and in that chaotic decade, no one can think of starting a new life normally, and they are lucky to be able to pass it safely.
However, be content. They can move out and live their own small lives, what does it matter if they have brick houses and mud houses.
"The roof of the brick house can't grow flowers, it's not good-looking!" Zhou Wanwan fluttered her head with a small hair curl and tied it into Zhou Yang's arms, "Big brother planted flowers for me on the roof!" Plant a handful! ”
The roofs of mud houses are mud and thatch, and after a few years moss, weeds and flowers grow.
"Okay! Big brother will plant flowers on the roof of your house! What color do you want! Zhou Yang was amused by his sister's innocence and patted her.
Zhou Chen also smiled and let his sister toss between him and Zhou Yang, pulling the corner to cover her little belly, the more this little guy grows up, the more he can toss, the ground is not enough, and he has to go to the room!
Shen Guodong also smiled, thinking about going to the roof tomorrow to help the girl pick flowers!
Dunzi kept listening to everyone with a smile, but he didn't say a few words. He has been thinking about leaving the Hou family in his heart.
No one knew the calculations and greed of those people in the Hou family better than him, so he didn't see it as easy as Zhou Yang and the others to leave the Hou family.
No matter how difficult it is, he has to leave!
And they can't make a fuss, and they must not let those people from the Hou family disturb the new life that the brothers and sisters have so easily lived. He has to protect his younger brothers and sisters, and he can't affect them, this is the bottom line of Dunzi, and nothing can be changed for him.
Dunzi clenched his fists tightly in the quilt.
Everyone slowly stopped talking and was about to go to bed, when Shen Guodong muttered, "Why do I feel like I've forgotten something?" ”
No one paid any attention to him. This kid was extremely excited all night tonight, and he had to toss and not sleep for a long time. (To be continued.) )
PS: Tomorrow is still three watches~
