Zheng Zhendong ordered noodles for his grandmother and second uncle Zheng Chengye, and after they finished eating, he helped the old lady to the inner bedroom to rest.

Seeing that the old man fell asleep, he walked out of the bedroom.

"Second uncle, do you want to go and rest too?"

"It's a tiring journey, and you have to take care of your grandmother, I guess you're tired enough!"

"That's it, there is a house in the front yard of our house, I usually live there, you go there and rest!"

Zheng Chengye sat on the chair, Zheng Zhendong waved his hand and said.

"No need Dongzi! I'm not tired, so where is this? ”

"I think when Lao Tzu was on the team, in order to fight, he often didn't fit his eyes for a few days and nights!"

"This time I came to the capital with my grandmother, but I only took a train for more than ten hours, how can I be tired!"

"Well, let's do it, you take me out for a walk, I'm going to have a meeting in the ministry tomorrow, and I'll take advantage of the time today to see my old friends!"

With that, Zheng Chengye got up from the chair, put on his coat and walked towards the door.

"Second uncle, you wait for me!"

Zheng Zhendong saw him get up and walk out, and quickly put on his coat and chased after him.

"Second uncle, where are you going? There is also grandma at home alone, let's go out and wait for her to wake up, won't we be in a hurry if we can't see us? ”

Zheng Chengye stopped instantly, turned his head and said to Zheng Zhendong.

"That's it, Dongzi! You give me the bike key, I'll go out alone, don't wait for me for lunch, I don't think I can come back! ”

Zheng Zhendong untied the key from his trouser belt and handed it to Zheng Chengye, and said at the same time.

"Second uncle, you ride slowly and pay attention to safety, and don't drink too much, it's better to come back early, otherwise my mother will talk about me again!"

"Okay, I see, you're worried about me! I'm leaving! ”

After that, Zheng Chengye pushed his bicycle and walked outside the hospital.

Zheng Zhendong watched his second uncle Zheng Chengye go out, turned his head and went home.

At noon, the old lady woke up and saw Zheng Xinyi, who had just entered the house after playing outside for a long time, and thought to herself.

The grandparents and grandchildren haven't seen each other for a long time, and the old lady feels a little partial to this granddaughter who has never seen her father since she was a child.

"My baby granddaughter will soon grow into a big girl, tell grandma, do you want grandma?"

Although I haven't seen an old lady for four or five years, because Zheng's mother was busy at that time, Zheng Xinyi was taken by her grandmother since she was a child, so she didn't feel stranger at all, and immediately lied about it.

"Grandma, I miss you, you don't know, since I came here, I often dream about you when I dream!"

"Originally, I thought about it, it's a holiday these days, I asked my third brother to take me to the Northeast to see you, but I didn't expect you to come, I'm so happy!"

The old lady was amused by her words, and said it after a while.

"Okay, good, it's really grandma's good granddaughter, grandma is really happy to hear you say this!"

"But yes, you don't have to go to the Northeast to see grandma at this time!"

"It's too cold in the northeast now, I'm afraid I'll freeze you two!"

"Wait! When you have a summer vacation, you can go to see grandma with your third brother, okay? ”

At this time, Zheng Zhendong said with the dishes on the dining table.

"Little sister, don't pester grandma to talk, grandma just woke up, it's estimated that she's hungry, let grandma eat something to pad her stomach before talking!"

"It's okay, it's okay! I'm not hungry yet, so let her talk with me for a while, little Dongzi! Why are you in a hurry to eat? The old lady didn't wait for Zheng Zhendong to finish speaking, and immediately replied to Zheng Xinyi.

"That's right, Xiao Dongzi! What about your second uncle? ”

"Why didn't I see anyone else, did I go out to the bathroom?"

"Grandma, second uncle, he went out to see a friend, and said that he wouldn't come back for dinner at noon, so we don't have to wait for him!"

"Hmm!"

The old lady nodded, and then asked Zheng Zhendong.

"Is your mother coming back for dinner at noon?"

"I really can't say this, usually my mother eats in the canteen of the factory at noon, who knows if she won't come back today?"

After all, you and your second uncle came over today, I haven't seen you for so long, she may come back to meet you! ”

"It's also my fault for this, I went out in a hurry in the morning, and I forgot to ask it!"

After Zheng Zhendong finished speaking, the old lady just nodded and did not speak.

Zheng Zhendong picked up the wotou from the steel pot and put it on the dining table with a basket.

"Grandma, let's eat first!"

"Little sister, you go and bring the chopsticks, let's eat!"

……

Not long after the three of them ate, when Zheng Zhendong was busy washing the pots and dishes, Zheng's mother hurried home.

When she saw the old lady, she immediately stepped forward to say hello with a smile on her face.

"Mother, you've arrived, I haven't seen you for so long, you're in good health, right?"

The old lady looked at her eldest daughter-in-law, who was sweating profusely and hurried home, and said with concern.

"Cuifen, it's you back!"

"Look what you're doing in such a hurry, it's not too late to come back from work in the evening!"

"Look at the way you have come this way, sweating profusely, you are too anxious! Sit down and rest! ”

"It's not like I'm going to be back right away, even if I come back at night, I won't blame you!"

Mother Zheng sat down and took a breath, and asked what she had just said again, and the old lady replied.

"I'm fine, don't worry!"

"In the past few years in the Northeast with the second child, I don't have to work, your brother and sister don't even need me to cook, just help them take care of the children, then you can still get tired of me!"

……

After the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law chatted a few words, the old lady suddenly turned to ask Zheng's mother.

"Cuifen, I see that you wrote me a letter saying that Boss Zhenguo and his daughter-in-law Huairu are pregnant, is it true? When will you have a baby? ”

"It's true, mother! Huairu is indeed pregnant, and she will be born in a month, and you are about to become a grandmother, are you happy? ”

"Rejoice! Can I not be happy? This is really a great joy for our family! ”

The old lady immediately smiled on her face, and then asked again.

"What about the granddaughter-in-law? Why didn't I see her today! ”

"Huairu and Zhenguo aren't going to work on the railway, and the two of them will move to the dormitory of the railway bureau conveniently!" Mother Zheng hurriedly explained to the old lady.

After the old lady heard what Zheng's mother said, she immediately cared.

"This is not right, what should I do if my granddaughter-in-law is confined? Will you move over there and wait for her? ”

"It's okay, mother! What Zhenguo and Huairu mean is that when the time comes, they will bring their mother-in-law and help them take care of the children and serve the confinement child! You don't have to worry about it! ”

At this time, Zheng Zhendong heated up the leftovers from noon and said after serving them on the table.

"Mom, hurry up and eat, and talk to grandma later!"

"Yes, yes, Cuifen! Hurry up and get something to eat, and we'll talk when we're done! The old lady also opened her mouth at this time to persuade Zheng's mother to go to dinner.

Zheng's mother stood up and walked to the dining table and began to eat.

After eating a few bites of food, Mother Zheng asked again.

"By the way, what about Chengye? How do I see others? ”

"Second uncle has something to do, go out to see friends and come back in the evening, let's eat at noon without waiting for him!" Zheng Zhendong hurriedly said to Zheng's mother.

"Oh, the second child must have gone to Wei Jianlong's house, the two of them had a good relationship back then, and the second child will definitely go to his house when he comes to the capital this time!"

As soon as Zheng's mother heard that Zheng Chengye went out to see a friend, she said with great certainty.

After Zheng's mother finished eating, she chatted with the old lady a few more words, and then hurriedly went back to work in the rolling mill.

……

"Grandma, this is Mrs. Lin in the backyard and the aunt next door!"

Seeing Mrs. Lin and an aunt enter her house, Zheng Zhendong hurriedly introduced herself to her grandmother.

"Hello, old sister! I heard Xiao Yi's daughter-in-law say that you came over today, and I came to see you! ”

After Zheng Zhendong finished his introduction, Mrs. Lin opened her mouth and said to Grandma Zheng.

Grandma Zheng also stood up at this time, stepped forward and took Mrs. Lin's hand and said.

"Sister of the Lin family, I'm fine, how are you, your body is quite strong, right?"

"Boss, this family, thanks to the care of these neighbors in your yard in the past few years, I thank you here!"

"Old sister, when you say this, you will see the outside, they are all neighbors living in the courtyard, this looks up and doesn't look down, what do you say to take care of it, everyone helps each other to live!"

The two old ladies sat down as they spoke.

"Aunt Da, you should also sit down, I will pour you some water to drink!"

Zheng Zhendong asked his aunt to sit down again, and then began to make tea.

"Old sister, do you plan to stay here this time, or do you want to stay in a few days and go back?"

After Mrs. Lin sat down, she chatted with Grandma Zheng for a few words, and suddenly asked.

"I'll stay for three or five days, and I'll go back when my second child finishes the meeting!" Grandma Zheng replied with a smile.

"Old sister, why don't you stay for a few more days, the northeast of this cold winter is so cold, why do you have to stay until the beginning of spring to go back!" Seeing that Grandma Zheng said that she couldn't stay for a few days, Mrs. Lin opened her mouth to persuade her.

Regarding Mrs. Lin's words, Grandma Zheng replied directly.

"No, no, why are you staying so long?"

"I'm here this time mainly to think about the children, and when I see the children, my heart is over, so I won't stay here longer!"

……

Zheng Zhendong finished pouring water from the teapot and said.

"Grandma, don't be in such a hurry to go back, you have to stay here for a while, let's be filial to you, and then talk about not going back!"

"Also, my sister-in-law is about to give birth, you have to see your great-grandson!"

"Yes, yes, what Xiao Dongzi said is reasonable, old sister, you will stay for a while longer!" Old Madam Lin also hurriedly opened her mouth to persuade.

Grandma Zheng heard both of them say this, and she couldn't help but look forward to the child who was about to be born, and she thought for a long time before she spoke.

"Let me think about this for a while, and I'll talk about it when I'm done!"

……

Mrs. Lin sat with her aunt at Zheng's house for a long time and drank a few pots of tea before going home.

After Zheng Zhendong sent them and a group of neighbors who heard the news from the compound out of the door, before they could take a breath, they saw the second uncle pushing a bicycle into the courtyard with drunken eyes.

Seeing that the second uncle had drunk too much, Zheng Zhendong hurriedly stepped forward to take the bicycle in his hand.

"Second uncle, how much wine have you drunk, how did you drink like this?"

Drunk with Zheng Chengye, while burping, he said to Zheng Zhendong.

"Xiao Dongzi, you don't have to worry about me, I'm fine!"

"I haven't seen your Uncle Wei for a long time, and we are both very happy to meet today!"

"This joy, we accidentally drank a few more glasses, but it's okay, I can hold on!"

Zheng Zhendong hurriedly parked his bicycle, and then helped Zheng Chengye to walk to the front yard.

"Second uncle, I'll help you go to rest first, and we'll talk about it when you wake up!"

Zheng Zhendong helped Zheng Chengye to the front yard of his house, and after waiting for him to sleep, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Zheng Zhendong, who has been busy from the morning to now, looked at the second uncle who had drunk too much wine and fell asleep, so he picked up a book from the bedside table and read it.

After a while, Zheng Zhendong was fascinated by the book.

When the sun was setting and the light outside the window was dimming, Zheng Zhendong rubbed his eyes that were sour from reading for a long time, then stood up and stretched.

At this time, Zheng Chengye, who was awakened by Zheng Zhendong's commotion, rubbed his temples with his hands and let out painful moans.

"Xiao Dongzi, what time is it? How long have I been asleep? ”

"Second uncle, you're awake, do you want to drink some hot water slowly?"

"It's almost five o'clock now, and you haven't slept long, so it's only an hour!"

While Zheng Zhendong spoke, he poured a glass of water for Zheng Chengye with a thermos and served it to him.

"Second uncle, drink some water, but be careful of scalding, drink slowly!"

After Zheng Chengye took the water, he took a few sips carefully.

Then he put the cup on the bedside table and slowed down for a few more moments before he got out of bed.

Zheng Zhendong saw that the second uncle had gotten up, so he went to the house in the middle courtyard to prepare dinner.

"Xiao Dongzi, what are you doing here? Why are you here now? ”

As soon as Zheng Zhendong entered the door, Grandma Zheng asked him.

"Grandma, my second uncle has drunk a little too much, and I'll take care of him in front!"

"This dick, why do you drink too much! That is, your aunt is not around, otherwise, hum! ”

"What's wrong? Grandmother! My second aunt is still so strict with my second uncle? ”

"Don't you also know about this, since that year, your second uncle beat his brother-in-law because he drank too much, and your second aunt has an opinion on him drinking, how many years have it been, when will it change!"

Hearing the old lady say this, Zheng Zhendong couldn't help but worry about the second uncle, you must know that the second aunt is not a good-tempered person, and if she really wants to provoke her, she will really do it.

When he was in the rear, the second uncle was repaired by the second aunt.

"Mother, you expose my shortcomings in front of the children again, you say this, how can I have prestige in front of them!" Zheng Chengye, who had just entered the door, heard his mother say this, and said helplessly.

Grandma Zheng and Zheng Zhendong glanced at each other, and then "Hey, hey, hey!" He laughed.

At this time, Zheng Chengye's old face instantly turned red, and looking at the two who couldn't stop laughing, he couldn't help but be angry.

"Xiao Dongzi, what are you laughing at, what's so funny? Speak up and let me hear it! ”

Zheng Zhendong looked at the second uncle who was annoyed and angry, and hurriedly begged for mercy.

"Second uncle, second uncle, I was wrong, I don't dare anymore, please spare me this time!"

"Spare you? What do you want? Stinky boy! You'd better obediently come over and let me get out of the way, otherwise, hum! ”

Zheng Zhendong saw that begging for mercy was useless, and quickly looked at Grandma Zheng.

"Grandma, you can save me! Otherwise, the second uncle will clean me up! ”

Grandma Zheng waved her hand with a smile and said.

"You two things, don't look for me, don't look for me, I don't care!"

Zheng Zhendong was dumbfounded, looking at his second uncle Zheng Chengye, who was getting closer and closer, his mind turned sharply, and he thought of various ways to deal with it in his mind.

But after thinking about it for a long time, I didn't expect one to be useful, so I had to close my eyes and say.

"Second uncle, come on, it's not okay for me to admit punishment and admit punishment!"

"Okay, okay, second child, don't mess with the child, just make a joke, you really do it!"

Looking at Zheng Chengye, who walked to Zheng Zhendong's side, Grandma Zheng immediately stopped.

"Whew! Mother! Look at what you're saying, I can really do something with him, just playing around with him! Why are you still serious? Seeing that Grandma Zheng was serious, Zheng Chengye couldn't help but explain.

Zheng Zhendong, who escaped the catastrophe, sighed with palpitations.

"Second uncle, your temper has really been restrained a lot!"

"I remember when I was little, you had a bad temper!"

"Whoever provokes you, you're going to clean them up!"

"Even my eldest brother and second brother have asked you to clean up, let alone me!"

"You also said that when you were young, how many years ago was it, can your second uncle and I still not change a little? Isn't that the more you live, the more you go back! ”

Zheng Chengye's face turned pale and explained two sentences to Zheng Zhendong.

"That's right, there's nothing wrong with what you said, after all, you were still young back then, and it was normal for you to be unable to control your temper!" Zheng Zhendong thought about it before saying to Zheng Chengye.

"Yo Yo Yo, you are worthy of being a cultural person in our family, and this analysis is the way to go! Not bad, not bad, really good! After listening to Zheng Zhendong, Zheng Chengye hurriedly praised.

"Grandma, look at the second uncle, he's making fun of me here again, you hurry up and take care of it!"

"When did your second uncle make fun of you? Isn't he telling the truth? You are indeed a top student in our family, Xiao Dongzi! Grandma Zheng said to Zheng Zhendong with a smile.

"Gotcha! Grandma, I can see that your old man will live in the mud! Forget it, I'll be honest and pick my dishes! ”

After Zheng Zhendong finished speaking, he took out the vegetables from the vegetable basket and began to pick them.

Grandma Zheng and Zheng Chengye watched Zheng Zhendong pick vegetables, and they also stepped forward to help.

When the three of them were picking vegetables, there was a bustling sound of talking in the courtyard outside.

Zheng Zhendong heard the movement and knew that this was the person who worked in the steel mill returning from work.

But after a while, she couldn't help but be a little worried when she didn't see Zheng's mother come back, so she went out to ask about the situation.

"Brother Zhuzi, have you seen my mother? I see you're back, why hasn't she come back yet? ”

"Oh, you said this, your mother went to buy groceries, it is estimated that she will be back in a while, you don't have to worry about her!"

Zheng Zhendong couldn't help but feel relieved when he heard this say this, and then spoke.

"Brother Zhuzi, are you okay at night? If it's okay, why don't you come to my house and help cook a few dishes? ”

"Okay, Brother Dongzi, your Brother Zhuzi and I are fine at night, when I go home and put down my things, I will go to your house to help!" Silly Zhu said without thinking about it.

"Thank you so much, Brother Zhuzi, I'm a little embarrassed to ask you for help every time I have something at home!"

"Aren't you going to see the outside world when you say this, Brother Dongzi, which of us is with whom? There's no need to be so polite when you see me in the future, I'll be happy to help your family! ”

After finishing speaking, Silly Zhu walked quickly towards his house.
