When her son came back, Li Chunhua held her son's head in her arms, kept wiping her tears, and said that she couldn't run away from home without squeaking in the future, and her parents were dying. After putting down his son, he was busy preparing lunch in the kitchen, but his eyes were focused on his son who was sitting on the sofa and reading the villain's book from time to time.

After an hour's work, the meals were all done, stewed rice dry rice, a plate of scrambled eggs with green onions, a plate of salt-fried peanuts, mixed with sesame sauce roll powder cucumber vegetables, boiled salted duck eggs were brought by the uncle from the countryside, and a bottle of liquor was opened.

The mother was busy serving food and pouring wine under the table, filled a bowl of rice for her son, and kept putting eggs and cucumber vegetables into her son's bowl. Zhong Shan was hungry for the past two days, and he devoured food. The two brothers of the Zhong family drank wine one cup at a time, telling interesting stories from their childhood.

When Zhong Shan was full of food and got off the table, his mother, who was standing on the ground to eat, hurriedly put down the dishes and chopsticks in her hand, and said Xiaoshanzi, you don't have to go to school in the afternoon, I will go to school and ask the teacher for a leave of absence for you, you can go back to the house and take a nap. Li Chunhua took her son's hand and came to the basin stand, washed her hands and face, wiped it with a towel, laid a mattress on the kang, put down the pillow, saw her son lying down, pulled up a towel and covered her son, and sat on the side to shake the fan and fan the wind. Zhong Shan didn't sleep well last night, and after the fatigue all the way, he was also sleepy, and fell asleep as soon as his head touched the pillow.

In this house, the Zhong brothers were slightly drunk and talked more.

"Big brother, you are so blessed in this life, your sister-in-law gave birth to this big group of girls and boys for you, it's worth it no matter how tired you are!" Zhong Shulin's voice was a little choked, which was not like his usual personality.

"Raising this group of cubs, my waist is almost not tired, there is no way, just to ask for a kid to inherit the family of our old Zhong family, I gave birth to 7 girls, the first three are married, and the fourth and fifth children can also go to the team to earn a share of work, and the family has only seen loosening up in recent years." Zhong Danian was greedy for a few glasses of wine, his face and neck were red, and his tongue was a little tangled when he spoke.

"Girls and boys are all good, and if you live a life, you won't be popular. You see that I am a lone seedling, and I don't have a companion, so my personality is very withdrawn, and my home seems to be more lonely than others. This time, I slapped him a few times, and then ran to the countryside in a rage, I guess this kid is going to find a companion by himself. Zhong Shulin put down his chopsticks and took a sip of wine.

"On the way back, Xiao Shanzi asked me if I was his own father, this kid is fine!" Zhong Danian said, put a peanut in his mouth, and chewed it carefully.

Zhong Shulin stopped in his hand, stunned for a moment, and was speechless for a while.

Zhong Shan experienced a "family search trip", his mind calmed down a lot, and his personality became more and more introverted, and he stayed at home most of the time during a summer vacation. He was obsessed with the books on his father's bookshelf, "How Steel is Made", "The Gadfly", and "Song of Youth", and finished reading them all in his cabin during the holidays. Some of the words he didn't recognize, but he still understood the general meaning. Zhong Shan felt as if he had entered another world, where people lived a completely different life from him, and he looked forward to growing up quickly, no longer being controlled by his parents, and living his own life freely. He thought that in the future there would be a girl who liked him, just like Tonya liked Paul. He wouldn't want a girl like Tonya, he felt that a girl like Lin Daojing was better, it would make him passionate and enthusiastic, he thought that he was too gloomy now, he couldn't always be happy, and he couldn't get interested in anything.
