Seventy-five years passed quietly in the cold wind and goose feather snow.

In January of 76, the twenty-fourth day of the lunar calendar, Zhou Bingyi took Hao Dongmei from the corps to return to Jichun.

Wang Chong went to pick him up, didn't ride a bicycle, and took the bus.

They haven't gone home for six years, Zhou Bingyi and Hao Dongmei are inevitably a little homesick, they got out of the station, sat on the bus, looked east and west along the way, and the words in their mouths never stopped, and the two of them also had smiles on their faces throughout the whole process, and the hands they held along the way were released.

When he arrived at the front of the house, looking at the brand-new courtyard gate and the greatly changed courtyard, doors and windows, Zhou Bingyi looked at Wang Chong in surprise: "Bingkun, did you get these?" ”

Wang Zhong carried his luggage: "If you are idle and have nothing to do, hurry up, don't pestle here, this cold day, you can stand it with thick skin and thick flesh, and your sister-in-law's body is delicate!" ”

Zhou Bingyi said with a smile: "I also know that I feel sorry for your sister-in-law, not bad, let's hurry into the house, enter the house!" ”

Hao Dongmei's heart warmed, the little uncle has grown up and is indeed different, and she knows that she is distressed.

I haven't seen him for six years, and the changes in Wang Chong's little uncle are not insignificant.

But if you think about it carefully, it seems to be normal, after all, now the old Zhou family is at home with a man.

Wang Chong walked in front, followed by Zhou Bingyi and Hao Dongmei.

As soon as he pushed the door open, a round little thing jumped up excitedly with his little short legs: "Dad! Father! ”

"Mom! Grandmother! Daddy is back! "The two-year-old Xiao Congcong can already walk and run, and he speaks in a whisper, for Wang Chong's strict father, he is afraid and loved, and he likes to go to Wang Chong's side when he has nothing to do.

"Stinky boy, disobedient again, why did he run out alone!" Wang Chong first put the salute in his hand on the table, and then bent down to pick up the little cub who was holding his legs, and reprimanded with a straight face.

"Cong Cong helps grandma make dumplings." Xiao Douding's face, clothes, and hands are still stained with flour, and his hands are dancing and explaining in a hurry, and his appearance is very cute.

"Cong Cong is so old?" Zhou Bingyi looked at the sturdy and fat little Zhou Cong, his expression was both surprised and delighted, and Hao Dongmei, who was holding Zhou Bingyi's hand, also looked at Zhou Cong in Wang Chong's hand with a smile.

"This is Uncle and Auntie, call someone quickly!"

Zhou Cong was a little afraid of people, and when he saw Zhou Bingyi and Hao Dongmei staring at him, he immediately shrank into Wang Chong's arms, but he refused to call people.

"This kid usually has a very diligent mouth, but I don't know what's wrong today!" Wang Zhong explained.

Zhou Bingyi and his family didn't feel at ease: "Children, it's inevitable that they are a little scared, just wait until you are familiar with it!" ”

Li Suhua, who heard the voice, also lifted the curtain and walked out, with a scarf in front of him, and a lot of flour on it, holding a rolling pin in his right hand and a half-rolled dumpling skin in his left hand.

"Bingyi! Dongmei! ”

"Mom!"

The reunion of mother and son inevitably embraced each other warmly and complained to each other.

"Don't stand here, sit in the house!" Wang Zhong accosted on the side, and Li Suhua hurriedly pulled his eldest son into the house after realizing it.

Zheng Juan and Guangming, who had big bellies in the room, were standing at the table, with some flour on their hands, and a plate of dumplings that had been wrapped on the table, a bowl of pork and cabbage filling, a bowl of leek egg filling, a pile of rolled dumpling skins, and a small pile of small dough.

After greeting each other, Li Suhua pulled Zhou Bingyi and his family to sit on the kang, as if there were endless words, Wang Zhong took Li Suhua's burden and wrapped up the work of rolling the skin, and the level of proficiency was not slower than Li Suhua.

Hao Dongmei still wanted to help, but was stopped by Li Suhua.

"You just got home, and you've been tired all the way, just rest!"

"Mom! You can speak idioms! Wang Chong, who was rolling the skin, laughed and joked.

"Daddy! Father! What is an idiom! Xiao Zhou Cong stood on the small stool next to the table, dragging Wang Chong's cotton pants, a head higher than the table, but curious, limited to age, his memory is limited, and his learning and comprehension ability is limited, but he is very curious about everything.

"Cong Cong came to grandma, grandma told you!" Li Suhua spread his hands at Xiao Congcong.

Xiao Zhou Cong tilted his head, looked at Li Suhua, and then looked at Zhou Bingyi and Hao Dongmei who were sitting opposite Li Suhua, and thought for a while before dragging Wang Chong's cotton pants down from the small stool, and walked towards Li Suhua with small steps and opened his hand, still calling for his grandmother to hug him.

Li Suhua hugged the kid onto the kang, took off his shoes, and wiped off the flour sticking to the little cub's body in quantity.

"Don't look at this kid's young age, he looks like a monkey, he is not afraid of me and his mother at all, so be honest in front of Bingkun."

Hao Dongmei's eyes fell on Xiao Zhou Cong most of the time.

With Li Suhua here, after a while, Xiao Zhou Cong got acquainted with the uncle and aunt he just met, the little guy is idle, especially after ripening, grab a few melon seeds for a while, catch a few peanuts for a while, take a few dried dates, and give them to grandma and aunt and uncle.

In Wang Chong's words: This kid is a person who is used to being coquettish and obedient to please his elders, and he will definitely be a clever ghost when he grows up.

After a while, he learned from the usual Wang Chong's appearance, put the melon seeds in his mouth and knocked them, and then stuffed the saliva and melon seed skin and melon seed kernel into Hao Dongmei's hand, and shouted in his mouth, "Auntie eat, auntie eat." ”

It made several adults cry and laugh.

However, there was Zhou Cong, a kid running around among the three, and he had a lot of fun, and the smiles of the three adults never broke.

At night, Wang Chong wanted to take Zheng Juan, He Guangming and Zhou Cong back to Taiping Hutong, and gave the back room to Zhou Bingyi and Hao Dongmei, but Zhou Bingyi said that he hadn't been home for too long, and he had a lot to say to Li Suhua, and he and Hao Dongmei followed Li Suhua to sleep in the outhouse.

Wang Chongyi didn't object after thinking about it, and asked Guangming to move to the back room to sleep with the two of them, and it was not too late to wait for Zhou Zhigang to return to Taiping Hutong when he got home.

It's just that the little guy is noisy, and he is still clamoring to sleep with his beautiful aunt at night.

Hao Dongmei also liked this little guy tightly, and asked Wang Chong and Zheng Juan's opinions a little nervously.

Wang Chong and Zheng Juan naturally don't mind! It's that Zheng Juan is a little embarrassed: "This kid is a little unaccustomed to sleeping on the kang, and he always likes to wet the bed in the middle of the night!" ”

"It's okay, it's okay, isn't there me!" Li Suhua saw that Hao Dongmei liked her eldest grandson, and it was too late to be happy, so she immediately patted her chest and promised.

Not to mention, in terms of raising children, even Zheng Juan, who has always been capable, is not as skilled as Li Suhua, let alone Hao Dongmei, a newcomer.

Hao Dongmei also hurriedly said: "Brother and sister, don't worry, children, it's normal to pee on the kang." She really likes to look at the tiger's head, the lively and lovely Zhou Cong.

Seeing Hao Dongmei's love for Zhou Cong, Wang Chongjue did not refuse.

Speaking of which, Hao Dongmei is also a poor person.

The little guy was energetic, running and jumping on the kang, rolling over and over, and after getting familiar with Hao Dongmei's beautiful aunt, he also became close, Hao Dongmei's smile on her face never broke, and her eyes never left Congcong.

Li Suhua saw that Hao Dongmei liked Congcong so much, and she was happy in her heart.

has even begun to look forward to the situation where Hao Dongmei also gave birth to several eldest grandchildren.

"Cong Cong is only two years old this year, right? This body, this head, looks similar to other people's three or four-year-old children. Zhou Bingyi also likes Zhou Cong very much, Hao Dongmei can't have children, the couple is destined to have no children, Zhou Cong is now the only bloodline of the third generation of the old Zhou family.

Li Suhua said with a smile on his face: "I don't know where this kid doesn't know where his appetite comes from, he eats more than other four or five-year-old children in one meal, and he especially likes to eat meat." ”

"Juan'er also fed him egg custard every day, drank milk, and drank malt milk essence, and Bingkun also ran around with him, saying that he ate well, exercised more, grew faster, and was healthy."

It is also Wang Chong's monthly income that is not low, otherwise, where would ordinary people's homes withstand such construction.

The child is energetic, but he is too tired to make a fuss, he begins to be sleepy, yawning for a while, Hao Dongmei gently coaxes the little guy to fall asleep, with a motherly soft smile on her face, and her eyes are full of love.

Seeing this, Zhou Bingyi couldn't help but have some mixed feelings in his heart, but more pity for Hao Dongmei.
