"Let's go after dinner." Zhou Shuilian said.

"I want to be well-wounded, and, they... Surely waiting for me. "Everyone knows who they are when Mu Zhi talks about them.

"I'll send Muzhi back." Zhou Huada volunteered.

"Mu Shui, get a flashlight for Xiao Zhou, be careful on the road." Zhou Shuilian didn't force it to stay, went to the corridor, took down some things and put them in the back basket, and handed them to Mu Zhi.

"This is for you and Kangkang."

"Thank you, second sister-in-law, second brother, then I'll go back first, and the day after tomorrow, and then bring Kang Kang to visit the New Year." Mu Zhi put the basket on his back, took the bag he brought back, and walked outside.

Zhou Huada followed closely, and when he walked to the yard, he took the bag and put it on his body, and the basket was also on his back, playing with his hand, and the two figures accompanied by two lines of footprints and a trace of light, walking farther and farther.

Zhou Shuilian and Mu Xiu went to the kitchen, and after Zhang Luo had eaten with everyone, they went back to the house to rest.

"This is the scarf promised to you, you came two days ago, and it hasn't been done yet." Mu Zhi took out the scarf from his bag, handed it to Zhou Huada, and took the flashlight in Zhou Huada's hand.

"It's still fur, it's so warm." It was too dark for Zhou Huada to see clearly, but the touch of the hand made him guess it immediately.

Zhou Huada hurriedly wrapped around his neck and said rarely: "It's so warm." ”

"If you like it, it's fine." Mu Zhi replied softly.

Zhou Huada laughed twice.

Soon, I arrived home, and I could still see the faint light in the house from the outside.

Mu Zhi knocked on the door.

"Bang bang."

"Who?" The voice of the old man sounded, and now, there are only the two of them and a small child in this house, and the door is usually locked early.

"Dad, it's me, Muzhi." Mu Zhi replied loudly.

The old man hurriedly put on his clothes, put on cotton shoes, and went to the courtyard.

Liu Yimei also got out of bed and dressed Kangkang, in winter, Kangkang was stuffed into the quilt, Muzhi must play with Kangkang when he comes back, so put on his clothes first and wait for Muzhi to come in.

"Muzhi, why did you come back, your mother and I are in a hurry." Mu Laohan opened the door and when he saw Mu Zhi, he began to talk non-stop, but when he saw the man who appeared behind Mu Zhi, he immediately closed his mouth and showed a vigilant expression.

Although when picking watermelons, Zhou Huada sent Mu Zhi home, and Mu Laohan saw Zhou Huada, but at this time, Zhou Huada was wearing a bloated cotton suit, a hat, and a scarf covering most of his face, revealing a pair of eyes, and Mu Laohan didn't recognize it for a while.

"Dad, this is Xiao Zhou, who came to deliver watermelons in the summer." Mu Zhi hurriedly explained.

"It's Xiao Zhou? Why are you here? Old Man Mu relieved his heart, and then asked suspiciously.

"It's cold outside, let's talk about it inside." Mu Zhi stomped his feet and walked into the house first.

Old Man Mu closed the door and entered the room with Zhou Huada.

Entering the room, it was obviously warmer than the outside, but it was far less warm than Mu Xiu's house.

"Mommy, Mommy." Kang Kang was dressed in a bulging manner, and he couldn't walk steadily, so he staggered and pounced on Mu Zhi.

"Kangkang, my darling." When Mu Zhi saw his son, he quickly stepped forward and squatted down, picked up Kang Kang, and kissed him on the face a few times, before picking up Kang Kang and sitting on the side of the bed.

"Uncle Zhou." Kang Kang saw someone coming, his little eyes turned around a few times, and he recognized Zhou Huada.

"Kang Kang has such a good memory, and he can still recognize me." Zhou Huada grabbed a handful of candy from his pocket and stretched out his hand to show Kangkang.

"Sweet." When Kang Kang saw the sugar, he didn't even want Mu Zhi, struggled down, and threw himself at Zhou Huada, Zhou Huada lifted Kang Kang, and Kang Kang's laughter rang out in the room.

"We thought you weren't coming back this year." Liu Qimei looked at Mu Zhi and said.

"When the store was busy, I hurried back." Mu Zhi pointed to the back basket in front of the door and continued: "I just went to the second brother's house, and this is what the second sister-in-law brought back. ”

"Water Lotus said it brought us?" There was a glimmer of light in Liu Qimei's eyes.

"No, she said that it was brought to me and Kangkang, but she didn't say it, she knew that they were all eaten together." Mu Zhi reassured.

"It's us who are sorry for the second family first, that's it, I'm content." Liu Qimei said with a wry smile.

"Dad, mother, this is Xiao Zhou, you've seen it in the summer." Seeing Liu Qimei like this, Mu Zhi quickly changed the topic.

"Xiao Zhou? I remembered, you kid, why don't you go home for the New Year? Liu Qimei was really diverted and asked curiously.

"Uncle, aunt, I'm here to talk about the watermelon business, and I've delayed the trip, not to mention, I'm also alone, and it's the same wherever I celebrate the New Year." Zhou Huada said with a smile.

When Liu Qimei heard Zhou Huada say "lonely", her heart moved, and she glanced at Mu Zhi thoughtfully.

What I saw was Mu Zhi's gentle eyes looking at the other side, and I didn't know if he was looking at Kang Kang or Zhou Huada, and the smile on his face was so happy.

Mu Zhi came back last time and took the initiative to mention Kang Kang's father to Liu Qimei, she said that Kang Kang's father was not there in an accident, so don't mention it again in the future, Liu Qimei's eyes were swollen from crying, and she sighed that her life was miserable, and the only daughter she could rely on was a widow at a young age.

It's just that later Mu Zhi took more money from the family than these men in the village, and took good care of the old couple, so she believed that Mu Zhi could really take care of this family.

"Xiao Zhou, you can live with me, although it is simple, but it is quite clean." After all, Liu Yimei is so old, what else can't she understand, Mu Zhi has a child, it is not easy to find someone, if this Xiao Zhou doesn't mind Mu Zhi, then you have to hurry.

Zhou Huada was overjoyed in his heart, and was about to agree, but he didn't expect Mu Zhi to say first: "Mother, let Xiao Zhou still live in my second brother's house, he recognizes the bed and is not used to changing places." ”

Mu Zhi only refused in a hurry, not thinking about it at all, how did she know that Zhou Huada recognized the bed.

Liu Qimei and Mu Laohan heard it, the two looked at each other, and Liu Qimei said with a smile: "Okay, listen to Mu Zhi, it's too dark this day, you should go back quickly, otherwise it will be more difficult to walk on the road in a while." ”

"Yes, you go back quickly, I'll send you out." Mu Zhi said.

"Then uncle and aunt, I'll come back to see you in two days." Zhou Huada listened to Mu Zhi's words very much, and walked out after saying goodbye.

When Mu Zhi closed the door, she looked at Zhou Huada and saw that he didn't mean to speak, she couldn't help but say, "Why don't you ask me why don't you let you live in my house?" ”

"I didn't know it just now, but now I know." Zhou Huada smiled, and then said: "After all, after the New Year, I will come to your house to propose marriage, and living here during the New Year will not have a good impact on you." ”
