The dinner was very rich, with chicken stewed mushrooms, cabbage and pork stewed vermicelli, pan-fried blood sausage, fried sauerkraut with pork belly, leek boxes, and sticky bean buns specially made by Li Suhua, and a few vegetarian dishes.

Even during the Chinese New Year, it is rare to see such a sumptuous table of dishes in the neighbors' houses.

It's a hearty meal now, but for the next few days, the family will have to eat leftovers.

"In a few days, your father and your brother will be back, and our family can be reunited again!"

At the dinner table, Li Suhua was happy like a child, constantly putting vegetables into Zhou Rong's bowl, and the smile on her face never broke.

"Mom, I'll just clip it myself!" Zhou Rong said it several times, but Li Suhua said yes every time, and after a while, she was sandwiched again.

Wang Chong also kept putting vegetables in Zheng Juan's bowl, Zheng Juan ate very gently, chewing slowly.

Zheng Juan was not very embarrassed, her face was a little red, and she made several glances with Wang Chong, but Wang Chong still went his own way and was happy with it.

Looking at the happiness of the two of them, Zhou Rong was sour, and Cai Xiaoguang, who was even more sour, was still single, and I don't know if he felt that he had a chance, waiting for Zhou Rong to change his mind or what, anyway, he didn't find a partner.

However, Wang Zhong looked at the hanging, as far as Zhou Rong's temperament was concerned, ten cows couldn't pull it back, Cai Xiaoguang was good, but compared with Feng Huacheng, who was as perfect as God in Zhou Rong's heart, it was like a bird's bird to a bird.

Li Suhua is now full of only Zhou Rong, where can she see the show of affection between her youngest son and future daughter-in-law, but it's okay to see it, Li Suhua has long been used to it, and she can't wait for the two of them to love each other.

Seeing that the New Year was approaching, Wang Chong had already prepared everything that should be prepared, and Li Suhua also informed her old sisters and neighbors one by one.

Wang Chong now has no unit, and the marriage application can only be done in the street, the Zhou family is very popular in the light word piece, and it is an old worker family, Zhou Zhigang is in Chongqing to support the construction of the motherland's third line, and the boss Zhou Bingyi is also in the Corps, and the roots are red, so the street will naturally not be stuck in this matter.

Although it is not a big deal now, it is still possible to have a little excitement.

The Zhou family came from Ludong, and they don't have any relatives here, and the ones they can invite are good neighbors.

Wang Zhong directly handed over this matter to Li Suhua.

But within two days, a letter from the Corps made Li Suhua happy and sad.

The joy is that the eldest son said in his heart that he will marry He Dongmei this year, and the worry is that they are going to do it in the Corps, and they will not come back during the Spring Festival this year.

Full of joy, I thought that this year was a year of reunion, and the family could get together happily, but I didn't expect the boss to suddenly make such a play, Li Suhua was both happy and helpless.

It made the little old lady depressed at home for several days.

It wasn't until the day before Zhou Zhigang came back that he was in a better mood.

On the twenty-sixth day of the lunar month, Zhou Zhigang's train could arrive in the afternoon, and Li Suhua still pulled Zhou Rong up from the quilt early in the morning.

Wang Chongtian went out for a morning run and exercised before dawn, and Li Suhua didn't need to shout at all.

Breakfast is simple, steamed buns and eggs with noodle soup.

There are five fist-sized buns, a pot of noodle soup and 4 boiled eggs.

The buns are filled with cabbage, Wang Chong did three in one go, Li Suhua and Zhou Rong didn't eat much, one for each person, it was almost the same.

After eating, Li Suhua began to drive his sister and brother out to let them go to the train station to pick up Zhou Zhigang.

"Mom! Dad is the train at two o'clock in the afternoon, let's go over now, isn't it in vain to delay most of the day! ”

Zhou Rong has never experienced it, so naturally she can't understand Li Suhua's behavior.

"What if your dad's train arrives early? If he doesn't see you, he won't worry! And there must be a lot of luggage, your dad is old, where can he carry it. ”

"The train is always late, how can it be early!" Although Zhou Rong hasn't taken the train a few times, she knows everything she should know.

"What if?" Li Suhua's attitude was very firm: "Waiting at home is also waiting, waiting at the station is also waiting, you go early, it's a big deal to wait at the station for a while, it's better than letting your dad wait for you." ”

Zhou Rong couldn't resist the old lady.

"Zhou Rong, this is yours, isn't it!" Wang Zhong accused with a straight face next to him.

"Why didn't it become mine again!" Zhou Rong looked angry.

Wang Chongdao: "We have a few sisters and brothers, it is not you who hurts your father and mother the most!" From childhood to adulthood, there is anything delicious and fun that will be close to you first, and now I will let you go to the station a little earlier to wait for Dad! You're not happy anymore! ”

"That's what Kun'er said!" Li Suhua immediately expressed his support.

The voting result was 2:1, Zhou Rong could not stand alone, so she could only follow the tradition and choose the minority to obey the majority.

can't resist this little old lady, Wang Chong also let her go, and can tease Zhou Rong, Wang Chong is happy to do so.

"Mom, I'll take Juan'er over later, and with her to help you, you can save a lot of trouble."

Now that there is no shortage of meat to eat at home, Zhou Zhigang has just come back, and Li Suhua will definitely have another delicious meal.

Li Suhua was happy: "It just so happens that your father hasn't seen Juan'er yet, so it's good to take this opportunity to let him, the future father-in-law, take a look at his daughter-in-law first." ”

"I'll go!" As he spoke, Wang Zhong threw away the bowl and chopsticks, got up and went to get his coat and hat.

"What are you doing in a hurry, I'll go after eating!"

"I'm full! Eat slowly! ”

Taiping Hutong, Zheng family.

It was still early, Zheng's mother hadn't come out of the stall yet, and the family of three had breakfast in the house.

Knock knock.

"Who? Early in the morning? ”

"It must be brother-in-law!" Guangming took the steamed bun and said with a smile.

Zheng Juan got up and got off the kang, went over to open the door, and sure enough, it was Wang Chong.

"Why are you here? Didn't you say you were going to pick up your dad at the station today? ”

Wang Chongdao: "My dad is on the train in the afternoon, don't worry, I'll go later." ”

As he spoke, he followed Zheng Juan into the house, Zheng Mu and Guangming sat on the kang, and there was a large pot of hawthorn and a large handful of bamboo sticks on the kang table.

"Bingkun is here!"

"Brother Bingkun!"

"Auntie! Light! ”

After saying hello, he took a sip of the hot water poured by Zheng Juan, sat on the stool, and said: "Auntie, isn't my dad coming back today, my mom is going to make dinner a sumptuous meal, I want to let Juan'er go to my house in the afternoon, give my mother a hand, and when my dad comes back in the evening, just let him meet Juan'er." ”

The second thing is to let Zhou Zhigang meet Zheng Juan's daughter-in-law first.

"That's as it should be!" Mother Zheng has always been reasonable, so naturally she will not object: "Juan'er, you will follow Bingkun back later." ”

"Auntie, don't worry, my dad will only arrive in the afternoon! Wait for the afternoon and let Juan'er come over, and she can help you with some more sugar gourds in the morning. ”

"Okay, I'll come in the afternoon." Regarding Wang Chong's words, Zheng Juan has never refutated: "Have you eaten breakfast, do you want to eat more?" ”

"I've eaten it!"

"My mother is still urging me, so I won't stay any longer, so I'll go back first."

······

In the midst of the surging crowd, the two stood on the platform near the exit of the station, Wang Chong had the foresight and took a sign with the words "Welcome Comrade Zhou Zhigang Home" pasted on it, especially the three words of Zhou Zhigang were written the largest.

Sure enough, there was no need to look around, Zhou Zhigang came to the door by himself.

"Xiao Rong!" Sure enough, after not seeing each other for three years, Comrade Zhou's anger towards his daughter had long since disappeared, and he couldn't take care of it at all when he met, so he hugged Zhou Rong first, and the father and daughter almost cried on the spot and complained to each other.

"Alright, alright! So many people are watching! Let's go back and talk about it later! ”

"Dad, it's definitely hard to sit on the train for so long, let's go home and talk about it if there's anything to say." Zhou Rong wiped her tears and said excitedly, almost speechless.

Two bicycles, Zhou Zhigang rode Zhou Rong, and Wang Zhong could only carry his luggage with his bag.

Looking at the courtyard gate that has just been renovated not long ago, the doors and windows that have not had time to paint have been repaired, the neat yard, there is a rebuilt shed outside the east house in the courtyard, about two meters wide, it seems to be the same, there is a bicycle under the shed, and the yard of neat firewood and honeycomb coal.

This change is not small or big, but it is neat and clean than before, and it is much more pleasing to the eye, giving Zhou Zhigang a new feeling.
