On May 2, Zhou Xiaozheng and Zhou Jiao's father and daughter shared their birthday. Eighteen years ago, on this day, Zhou Xiaozheng ushered in the most precious daughter of his life. Forty-two years ago, his mother gave birth to him in despair after the loss of her lover.

In the early morning of this day, the father and daughter stood in front of the graves of Zhou Jinyu and Gu Mingzhu, burning paper money with sadness. This is the time for the father and daughter to heal alone, and when they return to the bottom of the mountain, everything will start again.

"The dead are gone, and the living should be like this" has cried and hurt, and life still has to go on.

Back at the bottom of the mountain, the driver drove them to the hotel. At this time, the box was already full of three tables of people, and everyone was waiting for their father and daughter to arrive.

This time, except for the Cheng family, Zhao Chuanguang and his wife, and Zhou Xiaozheng, a few friends who are friends of life and death, the Lin family is still not in power. Was it arranged by Mrs. Cheng, or was Lin Lishan not invited? Zhou Xiaozheng's father and daughter didn't ask.

Old Man Lin went out on business, perhaps to avoid this banquet. Without Old Man Lin's Lin family, it seems that the Zhou family is even more contrary.

The whole banquet was arranged by Mrs. Cheng with Lin Lishan, and Zhou Xiaozheng's father and daughter were only notified before they went out this morning. Everything seems to be expected and unexpected.

"Here, come and eat the noodles first. After eating, I will live for a long time and be happy every day. Mrs. Cheng smiled when she saw the father and daughter coming in.

"I'm sorry to be late. When did you all come? Zhou Xiaozheng held the old lady and greeted everyone.

After Zhou Jiao took her seat, she focused on her mother Lin Lishan's reaction. I never saw her abnormal, and she didn't mention it again.

Zhou Xiaozheng symbolically took a bite first, put down his chopsticks and hurriedly said: "Brothers, don't be polite, this place is full of your own family." Auntie will serve the food. ”

"Brother Zheng, we're not in a hurry, you and Jiaojiao finish the noodles first. This was cooked by the old lady herself. The elders burn the noodles, and you will definitely live a long life if you eat them. ”

Zhou Xiaozheng listened to everyone's words, and saw that several brothers came over alone, "Why don't you bring your family over?" In the past few days, Ah Guang and his younger siblings have to be entertained by you first, and I will go to the south and come back soon. ”

"A few sisters-in-law and younger siblings can't leave work, so we'll all get together again tonight. Brother Zheng, remember to be on time at night. ”

……….

Everyone gathered last night, and the itinerary for the next few days has been arranged. After the birthday banquet, tomorrow their family, in addition to Lin Lishan, who has to arrange the task of the troupe's performance, will follow Cheng Lao and his wife to the south to find their roots and worship in the old house in Jiangnan.

After returning to Beijing, how to face the Lin family is a matter for later. Zhou Jiao saw that her parents never mentioned asking her to go to see Mrs. Lin Gu Ruyi, and learned to pretend to be deaf and dumb.

At this moment, watching Zhao Chuanguang toasting, Zhou Jiao's eyes rolled, and she had already planned to take advantage of her godfather and godmother to stay in the guest house tonight, she went home late with the past to avoid the three Lin Xuezhen sisters.

At the banquet, the wine was more than half tour, and the atmosphere was even more harmonious and lively. Zhao Chuanguang was born to be a hot man, and under his leadership, everyone let go of their restraints and joked.

In particular, the gift that Zhang Guoqing took out made everyone happy. Even Zhou Jiao didn't know when Zhang Guoqing prepared the wooden relief, and when she was a child, she was wearing a princess dress and riding on her father's neck, and her father also held a sugar gourd high with one hand. Seeing this, she couldn't help laughing.

Zhao Chuanguang clapped his hands, raised Ping'an, and said with a smile: "Baby, do you think your little sister is beautiful?" Like it or not? Xiao Wu, shake out all the contents of your bag for me. Let me see what else? ”

"Godfather, your eyes are so good." Zhang Guoqing said with a smile when he heard this. He carefully unraveled the newspaper, revealing a set of egg sculptures with portraits of five members of the family and a set of colorful clay sculptures.

"Ouch, that's a good idea. It's more fun than taking a group photo. Daughter-in-law, how about we have a whole set? Did Xiao Wu prepare for the last time he went to D City to play? ”

Zhang Guoqing nodded at him Zhao Chuanguang and smiled. Now that there are many people, he is embarrassed to say, except for his godfather's family, he is prepared. Others he didn't prepare because he didn't have a photo. This handicraft takes time, and he always gives the money directly first, and then sends it over there. Zhao Chuanguang and his parents' two sets will have to wait for half a month.

Huang Huimin: Her attention was focused on the women's table at the moment. At this meeting, the two daughters-in-law of the Cheng family were worried that Zhao Chuanguang would not have time for the meeting, so they invited her to go shopping. Everyone was talking about the situation of yesterday's May Day festival, which made her secretly regret being a day late. Hearing her ask him, the man smiled at him, and immediately turned his head to listen again.

Lin Lishan saw her with a look of regret, and thought that she was the same as herself, so she secretly whispered in her ear, "I also want to go to Jiangnan, and I plan to leave on the sixth." You play here for a few days first, and we'll go together. ”

Huang Huimin was a little surprised when she heard this, and then reacted, a little crying and laughing. She didn't have to wait a few days to go to Gangnam at all. Her eldest sister is in Haishi, and she can go at any time. However, she is really a little tempted, how lively it is.

"Then when Ah Guang finishes the meeting, let's go together. Later, I will make an appointment with Brother Zheng where to meet first. ”

Lin Lishan's eyes smiled happily.

On the other table, Zhou Jiao faced everyone's red envelopes and gifts, and hurriedly returned the red envelopes and took the gifts. She smiled and carefully opened the gift, thanking everyone all the time.

Today is the only birthday party in her two lives, except for Zhang Guoqing to celebrate her in her previous life, she never had a birthday. Birthdays are a celebration of happy reunions for loved ones. But for her, it was also Good Friday that day. What is there to celebrate?

But now 5.2, the same day in the two lives, with her father, everything has become different. She is grateful to God, grateful to her grandmother Gu Mingzhu, on such a day, she experienced the warmth of family affection.

What touched and cherished Zhou Jiao the most was the two bowls of longevity noodles prepared by Mrs. Cheng herself, and the necklaces inlaid with a photo of their father and daughter on the two pendants.

Longevity noodles, she has eaten a lot and made a lot. Except for Zhang Guoqing and Zhou Xiaozheng, no one has ever prepared for her on her birthday. Mrs. Cheng's bowl of longevity noodles is a strong family affection for her.

At this moment, she thought of Grandma Zhou in the northeast, and Zhou Xue who was in prison. For 17 years, every year on May 2, everyone deliberately forgot about it. And every year on September 9, Zhou Xue receives the red-skinned eggs from Grandma Zhou, what do you think about facing her proud and flaunting self?

Facing Grandma Zhou's face full of guilt, she smiled and shook her head. Yes, year after year, getting used to it, she also felt that it didn't matter. But life didn't teach her to be sophisticated, and she couldn't learn to see through people's hearts.

Zhang Guoqing grabbed her hand next to him and squeezed it.

After Zhou Jiao woke up, she smiled at him. This man knows her and knows her too well, and he noticed any abnormality. Thinking of his monthly visit to Grandma Zhou, she smiled again, what a stupid man!
