Chapter 94: Returning Home
"Dacheng, are you coming back for the New Year?"
"Go back."
"Really? On that day's plane, I'll ask your dad to pick you up. β
"No need, Mom, how old are you, you still need someone to pick it up, I'll just take a taxi when the time comes."
"Then when will you come back?"
"Number 17."
"Okay, remember to take care of yourself, don't go hungry."
"I know, Mom, your son and I are not stupid, I know how to take care of myself."
After that, Zhou Chao chatted with his mother for a few more words, and then hung up the phone.
"Alright, let's move on." Then, Zhou Chao threw away the phone, turned his head to look at coach Rachel and sparring partner Charlotte and said.
"Okay, let's move on." Rachel nodded. Charlotte was the same, and then together with Zhou Chao, she put on a Wing Chun posture, and started the promotion practice after a small thought - looking for bridges.
Then time passed, and before I knew it, it was February 16th.
"Are you really going to take me and Lara back?" Charlotte looked at Zhou Chao with a little shy look and asked.
"Hasn't it already been said? Why do you still ask? Zhou Chao was puzzled. Lala on the side also looked at her inexplicably.
"That, that, according to your Chinese customs, isn't it equivalent to a relationship between a boy and a girl taking a girl home during the Chinese New Year? We don't seem to be there yet, haven't we gotten to that kind of journey? Is that really good? Charlotte squirmed.
"Uh......" Zhou Chao was stunned. He really forgot the extended meaning of zΓ i when he brought girls home for the New Year. But if you change your words now and say 'don't count it', it's a bit too much, so in desperation, Zhou Chao had to bite the bullet and say, "It's okay, it's good to explain it when the time comes." β
"Oh." Charlotte looked faintly disappointed and whispered, "Stupid, what people want is not an explanation." β
"What?" At this time, Zhou Chao's mind was all on how to explain it to his mother after thinking about it, and where could he listen to Charlotte's muttering, and asked with a blank face one by one.
"No, nothing." Charlotte's cheeks were slightly red, and she quickly shook her head in a little panic.
"Oh, let's go, or you won't be able to catch the plane if you wait." Zhou Chao nodded and didn't care, raised his hand and looked at the time screen that popped up on the containment device.
"Oh."
Then, without wasting time, the three of them left the temporary hotel together, rushed to the nearby airport by car, took a plane, and flew to China.
The process of the plane flight was very smooth, and there were no bad things like hijacking and losing control, so after flying for more than ten hours, the plane arrived at the Beijing Airport smoothly.
Then he stayed at the airport for half a day, transferred to another domestic flight, and flew for more than two hours, Zhou Chao's feet finally stepped on the land of his hometown.
"Whew, it's been a year in a hurry, and I really feel like things are wrong." Zhou Chao, who came out of the airport, looked at the sky in front of him that had not changed much, and sighed in a low voice.
"Is this the hometown of the Zhou Dynasty?" Charlotte asked curiously, looking around.
"Yes. Let's go, I'll take you home. Zhou Chao nodded slightly and chuckled. Then he reached for a taxi waiting in front of the airport, opened the door and got into the car. Lara and Charlotte followed.
"Aimin Street West Five Roads." Zhou Chao said.
The driver who got the address reached out and pulled down the empty headlights, turned on the meter, started the car, turned the head of the car, and drove towards the address Zhou Chao said. In just about 20 minutes, the taxi drove in front of a residential area.
Zhou Chao took out the RMB he had specially exchanged at the bank to pay for the car, got out of the car, and walked to his home with Lara and Charlotte.
"Bang, bang!"
"Hall boring!"
"Crackling, crackling......"
As soon as they entered the community, the sound of firecrackers made by the bear children poured into the ears of the three Zhou Dynasty one after another.
"Zhou Chao, what are those children doing?" Lara asked curiously.
"This is our custom here, we have to set off cannons during the New Year, and those children set off cannons." Zhou Chao explained with a smile.
But as soon as his words fell, the two children, who looked to be only seven or eight years old, looked at the three of them violently, and then unceremoniously threw the two lit earth reds at Charlotte's feet.
"Bang, bang!"
"Ahh Charlotte, who didn't expect this to happen at all, was suddenly startled and instinctively jumped backwards, but then fell backwards involuntarily because she stepped on the ice and slipped. Seeing this, Zhou Chao reached out and hugged Charlotte in his arms.
"Look for a beating!" Zhou Chao glared at the bear child and scolded.
However, the bear child was not afraid at all, and after throwing two earth reds at the Zhou Dynasty, he ran away with a smile and continued to plague the snowdrifts of the Zhou Dynasty.
I have to say that the courage of the current bear children is abnormal, which is like when they were young, they did a big thing by blowing up a dung pit, and they were cattle people without losing their hands with the tail of the gun?
"Are you alright?" Seeing the child leaving, Zhou Chao looked down at Charlotte in his arms and asked.
"No, it's fine." Charlotte said with a slight flush in her cheeks. I just don't know if it's because of the cold north wind that is different from the United States, or because of shyness.
"You can let me go." Then, Charlotte whispered.
Zhou Chao nodded and let go of her according to his words.
"Zhou Dynasty, it seems to be very interesting to set off cannons, where to sell them, I also want to buy them and play." After the Zhou Dynasty settled down Charlotte, Lala said with a grin.
"You ......" and hearing Lala's words, almost instantly, a cool and cool cold air like snow on the neck rose from the bottom of Zhou Chao's heart. He has never forgotten who Lala is, he is very worried, will the crazy Lala feel that he is simply firing a cannon but not hiding, and then out of the demon moth to make his own 'cannon' to play? If that's the case, don't expect to have a good year.
"Then you have to promise me that you are not allowed to change the cannon or make things indiscriminately, so I will buy you a cannon to play." Zhou Chao said.
"Yes." Lala agreed with a smile.
Looking at Lala, Zhou Chao shook his head slightly, and paid attention to it, saying anything during the Chinese New Year, he should be optimistic about Lala, and he must not let her make a big incident in China, especially in his hometown.
"Let's go, go home first."
Then the three of Zhou Chao did not stay in the community, and walked to a residential building under the surprised gaze of the sporadic pedestrians in the community, got into the doorway, went up to the third floor, and finally stopped in front of the security door in the middle of the third floor.
Then, Zhou Chao took out the key to the house, which had not been used for almost a year, and opened the door after a small noise.
"Mom." Zhou Chao, who walked into the house, opened his mouth and shouted at Wang Xiuying, who was watching TV in the living room.
"I'm back!" Seeing her son come back, Wang Xiuying immediately stood up from the sand and said happily, but then, her expression was stunned, and she looked at the two beautiful foreign girls who walked into the house with her son and asked, "Are they ......?"
"Hello Auntie." Charlotte said in stiff Chinese. Zhou Chao looked at her in surprise. He really didn't know when Charlotte learned Chinese.
"Hello Auntie." In contrast, Lala's Chinese is much more fluent, after all, she has lived with the Zhou Dynasty for so long, and Chinese or something has long been learned before.
"Okay, all right, don't stand there talking at the door, come in, it's warm in the house." Wang Xiuying said happily.
Then the three of them took off their shoes and walked into the living room. At this time, Wang Xiuying hurriedly took out melon seeds, peanuts and tang from the house, and put a few oranges on the coffee table, and picked up the oranges and turned around and stuffed them into the palms of Charlotte and Lala.
"Eat oranges." Wang Xiuying said.
"Thank you, Auntie." Lara and Charlotte said in fluent and stilted Chinese, respectively.
"You're welcome, you're welcome." Wang Xiuying said enthusiastically, then turned around again, grabbed Zhou Chao's hand, and pulled him into the back room.
"Son, who are those two girls outside?" After closing the door, Wang Xiuying looked at Zhou Chao with bright eyes and asked.
"Nobody." Zhou Chao said with a headache.
"No one is your former home for the New Year, who are you fooling." Wang Xiuying said unbelievingly, "Sue sΓΉ mother, which one is your object?" β
"Mom, it's really not, they are friends I met abroad, and they know that I am going home for the New Year, and they also want to experience what the Chinese New Year is like, so they came back with me, it really doesn't matter." Zhou Chao said helplessly.
"Really?" Wang Xiuying still didn't believe it.
"Really. You don't look at how old they are. β
"Not to mention, those two girls really don't look big, as if they are not yet minors, right?" Wang Xiuying thought for a while.
"Well, one 17, one 16, both semi-adults." Zhou Chao said.
"What a child. You just brought them back, and their families didn't have to worry? Wang Xiuying said strangely.
"What is there to worry about." Zhou Chao pouted and said, "Don't look at the two of them as small, but they have already left home to live alone, so they really have to be serious, no worse than adults." β
"That's amazing." Wang Xiuying exclaimed, "Forget it, no matter you, but those two girls look good, they are very polite, if you have the opportunity, you can start, age is not a problem." β
"Uh...... Let's talk about that. Zhou Chao said speechlessly.
At this point, the matter about Lara and Charlotte has finally come to an end. Then Zhou Chao and Wang Xiuying came out of the house, and Lala and Wang Xiuying started a homework, but most of the time, it was Wang Xiuying who was asking, Lala answering, and Charlotte was often translated by Zhou Dynasty because of the bad relationship between Chinese. But whether it is in terms of the situation or the content of the dialogue, there is still a posture similar to that of a mother-in-law looking at her daughter-in-law, which makes Zhou Chao very helpless.
