Spring goes to autumn, and in a blink of an eye, most of the year has passed.

In the alley of the light word piece, Zhou Xin was walking with Zheng Juan, who had a big belly, Zheng Juan's face was full of maternal brilliance at this time, and asked Zhou Xin while touching her stomach:

"Brother Kun, I don't know if it's a boy or a girl? I want a boy to pass incense to your Zhou family. ”

Hearing Zheng Juan's words, Zhou Xin laughed out loud, and then said:

"Juan'er, why are you still struggling with this problem? I'm not telling you that boys and girls are the same, and that I want a daughter more than a son. ”

"Isn't this our mother always wanting to hold a grandson!"

"Don't worry about it, it's a big deal that we continue to give birth to ten or eight of him, and there will always be a son."

"Do you think I'm a pig? and ten or eight were born. ”

The two of them walked in the alley jokingly, and their shadows grew longer and longer as the sun slowly set.

……

After the Spring Festival in the second year, Zheng Juan's due date was approaching, and Zhou Xin and Zhou's mother took more and more care of Zheng Juan.

On the third day of the second lunar month, outside the delivery room of the city hospital closest to the light word film, a group of people blocked the door of the delivery room, waiting anxiously, especially Zhou's mother and Zheng's mother, who were the most nervous.

An hour later, the nurse walked out of the delivery room and congratulated everyone:

"Congratulations, mother and son are safe, I gave birth to a big fat boy."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief at this time, and then Zhou's mother fell into excitement, and kept muttering:

"Old Zhou, our Zhou family has a queen."

After Zheng Juan gave birth, she insisted on going home after staying in the hospital for three days, and Zhou Xin did not refuse, after all, the conditions of the hospital in this era are also extremely limited, and there is not much difference from going home to raise her.

On the day that Zheng Juan gave birth, Zhou's mother hugged her eldest grandson with a smile on her face, and did not forget to command Zhou Xin to write a letter to tell Zhou's father, Bingyi, and Zhou Rong about it.

……

Almost a month later, Zhou Bingyi, Zhou Zhigang, and Zhou Rong received letters from Zhou Xin respectively, although all three of them were happy for Zhou Xin, but their tastes were completely different.

Jiangliao Construction Corps, after Zhou Bingyi received Bingkun's letter, he was first happy for his younger brother, and then he was distressed that he had no children, but at this time he didn't know that Hao Dongmei couldn't have children.

That night, Zhou Bingyi told Hao Dongmei about his brother having a child, and laughed:

"Dongmei, look at us and Bingkun and they got married at about the same time, and now that he has children, shouldn't we work harder."

Under Hao Dongmei's shyness, the two worked hard for the sake of their children.

In the dormitory of the "big third line" construction project in Shancheng, Zhou Zhigang smoked and looked at the letter from home, and laughed happily when he saw that his daughter-in-law Zheng Juan gave birth to a boy for her family:

"Hahaha, my old Zhou family has a queen."

Next, when he met people, he showed off to others that he had a grandson, and named his eldest grandson "Zhou Cong" when he replied.

In the mountains of your province, Zhou Rong received a letter from her younger brother, first happy for her brother, and then looked at her daughter sleeping next to her, and became worried again.

For Zhou Rong, there is no problem for herself and Feng Huacheng to live here, but after all, this place is not as good as the conditions in her hometown, and she hopes that her daughter can have a good growth environment.

……

In 1975, just after the Spring Festival, the Zheng family fell into heavy grief, Zheng's mother passed away, she was smiling when she left, her most concerned daughter found a good support, and her son also had the care of his daughter and son-in-law.

After finishing Zheng's mother's funeral, Zheng Juan has been indulging in grief, but fortunately, Zhou Xin, her son, and Guangming have always been by her side, so that she can slowly get out of her grief.

With the passage of time, by the time Zhou Cong reached the age of 1 and a half, he was already able to walk on his own, and he could also call out a few simple names such as "Dad", "Mom", "Uncle" and "Grandma".

Towards the end of the year, Zhou's mother received the news that Zhou's father, Zhou Bingyi, and Zhou Rong would all come back, and she was so happy that she kept directing Zhou Xin to purchase all kinds of food and prepare for the family reunion.

On the twentieth day of the lunar month, another happy event befell the Zhou family, and Zheng Juan was pregnant with her second child.

On the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month, Zhou's mother kept walking over and was anxious at home, while Zhou Xin was sitting next to Zheng Juan smiling and whispering, and kept eating snacks.

"Bingkun, seeing that you are so idle, you go outside to the alley and wait for your father and them to come back!"

"Who knows when they'll be back?"

Zhou Xin wailed, but under Zhou's mother's angry gaze, he could only spread his hands and say:

"Okay, I'll go out and wait for them."

Under Zheng Juan's gloating gaze, she put on her coat and walked outside.

When he arrived at the mouth of the alley, Zhou Xin was like an old farmer, crossed his hands into his sleeves, squatted down and shrunk into a ball to keep warm, and after waiting for almost half an hour, he saw Zhou's father hurriedly walking over with a large bag and a small bag.

When Zhou Zhigang approached, he saw his youngest son curled up in a ball and squatting in the corner, and couldn't help asking:

"Bingkun, why are you here?"

"Dad, let's hurry home, it's not that my mother has to let me come out and wait for you, I can't listen to it!"

Father Zhou laughed, walked over to help Zhou Xin, and Zhou Xin, who stood up, took the package in Father Zhou's hand, and the two chatted side by side and walked home.

"kid, I'm back!"

Zhou Zhigang's voice, who had not yet entered the door, first came into the house, and when the two pushed the door open and entered, Zhou's father first glanced at his wife excitedly, and then looked at Zheng Juan who was sitting on the side, and Zhou Cong, who was wearing a small padded jacket and was fat like a little penguin and kept hiding behind Zheng Juan.

All the expressions of Father Zhou after entering the door fell into Zhou Xin's eyes, and Zhou Xin walked up to Zheng Juan and Zhou Cong with great eyes, and introduced to Father Zhou:

"Dad, this is your daughter-in-law Zheng Juan and your grandson Congcong."

Then he stretched out his hand and pulled out Zhou Cong, who was behind Zheng Juan, and instructed:

"That's your grandfather, hurry up and call grandpa, grandpa will send you candy later."

As soon as he heard that Zhou Cong had candy to eat, he was immediately not afraid of Zhou Zhigang, and shouted with a simple smile on his face:

"Hello grandpa!"

Zhou Zhigang heard his grandson call his grandfather, his mouth was grinning wide, and he was afraid of scaring his grandson, so he quickly took out the candy specially brought for his grandson from his luggage, and handed the candy over with a kind smile:

"Cong Cong, this is the candy that Grandpa brought you."

Zheng Juan on the side looked at her father-in-law's love for Congcong, her eyes were red, and Zhou Xin on the side gently pinched Zheng Juan's hands to comfort her.

Zhou Zhigang, who had finished coaxing his grandson, got up and looked at Zheng Juan, and said with kindness on his face:

"Juan'er, please take care of my unsuccessful son and child."

"Dad, what did you say? I should be grateful to Bingkun and my mother for taking care of me. ”

At this moment, the door was pushed open again, and Zhou Bingyi came back with Hao Dongmei, Zhou Bingyi saw that his father had returned, so he introduced Hao Dongmei to everyone, and everyone got to know each other.
