Chapter Twenty-Seven: Returning Home
On the afternoon of May 27, we finally returned to our home in City D after more than 20 days.
Looking at the familiar and empty room, I felt so close and missed for the first time.
Because it was Monday and my son was not at home, he should be in kindergarten now.
We sorted out the gifts we brought back, and went to the vegetable store to express our condolences to the working people. We looked at the passbook handed over to us by Jiang's mother, and expressed a high degree of affirmation for the hard work of Jiang's father and Jiang's mother, and Jiang's father and Jiang's mother also expressed a warm welcome to our return.
Jiang's mother was very concerned about the house we bought at my aunt's house, and asked a lot of questions about the house, and we answered them one by one, and said that after two months, Hanhan would go to Tashan Village to escape the summer. Jiang's mother was very happy to hear this, but then she thought about what would happen if they all left the vegetable store. Jiang Zhi understood what Jiang's mother was thinking, so he said that we would arrange it when the time came. Jiang's mother turned her worries into joy.
We went to the kindergarten again to pick up our son.
When Hamham saw that it was when we came to pick him up in advance. Immediately opened his mouth, but then he thought of something and immediately pouted again.
As soon as we saw that there was a situation, we hurriedly took out the delicious food from our pockets (actually from the ring) and handed it to Hanhan.
Han Han was still very principled at the beginning, resolutely not accepting what we flattered, but his eyes were always on the look. As soon as we saw that there was a door, we had to strengthen the bribery, so we took out a few more snacks from the space.
In the end, Hanhan couldn't resist the temptation of food and surrendered to us. But there was a protest against us being away for so long, and there were demands. In the future, you are not allowed to go far away, even if you have to go, you have to take him with you.
We have no problem at all with this request made by Implicit. This time I went to my aunt's house, counting the time outside and in the space, we haven't seen our son for about a year, and we really miss it. And the world will become more and more chaotic in the future, and we can rest assured that the child is still in front of us.
We took Hanhan to Qu's father and Qu's mother's house, and reported the trip to Qu's father. I was puzzled to hear that we had bought a house in Tashan Village.
"What are you buying a house there for?" Dad Qu is a good comrade, if you don't understand something, ask it.
"It's Xiaoyi's environment that looks very good, especially suitable for the elderly, so you have to buy it, so that your parents can live when you have time." Jiang Zhi is very good at talking.
"Yes, Dad, the air is better, and the water quality is better than ours. If you go to live with us, you can also go to climb the mountain every day and exercise your body. I added to the side.
"What are we going to do there, your sisters are all here, we can still go?" Father Qu was happy when he heard that this was a house that the old girl bought for the sake of the old girl who was filial to herself and thought about the two of them. However, it was not feasible to live in the mountains.
"Dad, it's not that you live there all the year round and don't come back, or if you want to, we can't agree, you have to come back for the New Year. If you go there in the summer, it's a hot day, it's a mountainous area, and it's cool in the summer, so you can go there and escape the heat, and come back when it's cold. There are not many fare for going back and forth, and there is a direct train, how convenient. I analyzed it for Dad Qu, and when he saw that Dad Qu nodded, he said, "Also, if you go there in the summer, in the future, our families will also have a place to go during the summer vacation, and we can take our children to play in the mountains." Let the children see how the land is planted, or they will have to divide the grains in the future. ”
"Yes, you can also raise chickens and ducks when you go. The house we bought has a big yard, we can raise some poultry in the front yard, and we are going to build a greenhouse in the back yard so that you can also grow some vegetables and play. Ah, and we bought a house and gave us 10 acres of pine forest and two acres of paddy fields, if you want to experience it, let's let my aunt pick up the land for us, and you can plant it next year. "Jiang Zhi is very good at capturing people's hearts, Dad Qu has not been in the field for decades, and he is very yearning for being able to farm again. Qu's mother is a stingy person, and she can't bear to put her family's things there and waste them. So Qu's father and Qu's mother were tempted to go to the mountains to live for a while. didn't say that he would definitely go if he died, but said that it would be decided depending on the situation. But we will not pursue the fact that we spent 200,000 yuan to buy a bungalow in the mountains. Jiang Zhi and I breathed a sigh of relief in our hearts at the same time.
We also told Qu's mother that we would like to invite the two families to have a dinner on the weekend and get together. At first, Qu's mother disagreed, saying: "You just came back, have a good rest, what kind of food can you eat, the restaurant is so expensive now." If you want to get together, come here, I'll do it for you, and you can eat several meals at home with the money to go to the restaurant. ”
Jiang Zhi whispered to me, in fact, I am really the child of Qu's father and Qu's mother, and I am still with Qu's mother, and the strength that will save money is the same.
I secretly pinched Jiang Zhi and said to Qu's mother: "Mom, if we don't go to the restaurant, let Jiang Zhi make a table at home." We also brought back some mountain goods, just when everyone came to my house, I gave everyone a point, or we have to send them from house to house, it is too troublesome. Besides, you helped us take care of Hanhan for so long, and we can't give money to express it. ”
Qu's mother was not happy, "Go to the side, who wants your money, we take care of Hanhan not for money." ”
"That's it, so we want to get together, so that your mother-in-law can also eat the food cooked by your son-in-law, and my mother-in-law is also working hard in the vegetable store these days, and we also want to comfort them." I brought out my parents-in-law as an excuse, and I was not afraid that Qu's mother would not agree.
Sure enough, as soon as Qu's mother heard that her in-laws were also going, it was not easy to refuse again.
Dad Qu said impatiently on the side: "You old woman is really good, the girl and son-in-law kindly invited you to dinner, and you took it." ”
When Qu's mother heard it, she was even more difficult to refuse, "Get out, didn't I save money for the girl." Okay, since you've all planned it, I won't object to it, your sister, I'll go and say. ”
Hanhan was watching TV in the living room, and when he heard his grandmother scolding his grandfather, he came to be a messenger of justice, "Grandma, you don't talk about civilization, you scold." ”
Qu's mother didn't think about it and said casually: "I'm not scolding people." ”
Then Qu's mother was embarrassed, Qu's father was angry, and we couldn't hold back our laughter. It was only after a long time of aftertaste that I realized that this was grandma scolding grandpa for not being human. said to grandma in righteous words: "Grandma, it's wrong for you to do this, how can you scold grandpa for not being human." ”
Qu's mother's reaction was too amazing, "Oh, my grandson is so smart, I can hear grandma saying that grandpa is not human." ”
I think I'd better educate my children by my own side.
That's it, that's it for dinner at my house this Saturday.
