Chapter 93: Returning Home (3)
When Liu Yunqing's house was going on here, Zhou Chao's house was also discussing this issue over there.
Zhou Chao sent Liu Yunqing home and took the bus home to rush home, and when he arrived at the door of his house, the sky was almost dark, looking at the vermilion gate, he was a little homesick. The Zhou family is in Dongcheng District, but it is in the Dongsi area, which belongs to the southeast of Dongcheng District, and there is a certain distance from where Liu Yunqing and they live.
Zhou Chao's family was there a long time ago, Zhou Chao's grandfather had a lot of real estate at that time, and after the founding of the People's Republic of China, only the one he lived in now was left, and all the others were handed over. When Zhou Chao's father had an accident, the house was also taken away, and it was not until last year that the family was rehabilitated one after another, and the house was returned.
According to his mother, when he was returned, the house was badly damaged, and there were still several families living in it. It took a long time for their house to be cleaned up, and it took a lot of effort to clean it up.
As soon as he entered the house, he saw his father sitting on the sofa in the house, holding a newspaper in his hand, and when he came in, he cleared his throat, looked at Zhou Chao and said, "Xiaochao is back." There was no enthusiasm in his attitude, and there was no expression on his face, but Zhou Chao looked at the extra gray hair on his father's head, and felt uncomfortable.
"Well, it's back, Dad."
As soon as he finished saying this, a sound of footsteps came from the kitchen, "Xiaochao, are you back?" Zhou Chao looked at his mother, and his mother hugged him, "It's back, it's finally back, you're suffering, Xiaochao." ”
"Mom, I'm not suffering, you and my dad are suffering." When Zhou Chao went to the countryside, all the family members were also decentralized, especially the conditions in the places where his father and mother went were more difficult.
"We are not bitter, at least my father and I are still together, and the place where we go is taken care of by your father's old comrades-in-arms, it's okay, it's okay, it's the place where you go, you are not familiar with life, and you still have to participate in labor, can you stand it?"
"I'm very good, the people in the village take good care of me, I'm really okay."
"Okay, don't talk about it, let's take a look at the dishes in your kitchen, is it mush?" Father Zhou interjected.
"Oh, my dish, Xiaochao, you wait a while, your brother and your sister will come back from work soon, let's eat." Zhou's mother hurriedly ran to the kitchen.
Zhou Chao walked over to give his mother a hand, and just as the meal was served on the table, Zhou Chao's eldest brother and second sister came back, and when he saw Zhou Chao coming back, there was another greeting.
Several people sat down around the table, Zhou's father moved the chopsticks before starting to eat, Zhou's father asked Zhou Chao about his work, Zhou Chao told his family about the general situation, and also said that he might have the opportunity to transfer back to the capital in the future, and the family was very happy.
In the end, Zhou Chao said something with Liu Yunqing, because it had been said in the letter before, the family didn't say too much, and they all had a good impression of Liu Yunqing, saying that in Zhou Chao's situation at that time, he knew that he was not good, and he helped him so much, this girl was good, and they all said that they believed in his vision and let him treat other girls well.
Then I asked the woman what the situation was, I heard that Zhou Chao was going to the woman's house the day after tomorrow, and Zhou's mother and sister said that they wanted to go together? Do you want to prepare something? He said no, everything was ready by himself, and his mother and sister didn't go this time, but went to find out first. I'll have to trouble my mother and sister when I go over next time.
At night, Zhou Chao was lying on the bed by himself, thinking a lot, what was Liu Yunqing doing at home at this time? What did her parents say? Will you strongly disagree? What if you don't agree? He slept in a state of apprehension.
The next day, Zhou Chao stayed at home with his family for a day, and on the third day, he asked Liu Yunqing's house early in the morning, because their train tickets were in the afternoon, Zhou's mother pulled Zhou Chao's straight to wipe her tears, because she wanted to take things to Liu Yunqing's house, so Zhou's father asked his driver to send Zhou Chao a trip.
Sitting in the car and looking at his mother's tearful eyes behind him, Zhou Chao felt uncomfortable, but when he thought that he would be at Liu Yunqing's house in a while, his heart was even higher.
The driver drove the car steadily, but Zhou Chao was up and down in his heart, and finally arrived at the mouth of Liu Yunqing's alley, the car couldn't go in, so Zhou Chao got out of the car and walked over with his things and let the driver go back.
In an alley, I saw Liu Yunqing's pretty figure standing at the mouth of the alley, looking this way, as soon as I saw him coming, I hurriedly ran over, and reached out to take the things in his hand, Zhou Chao didn't let her take it, "It's so cold, what are you standing there for?" ”
"Aren't I afraid you won't find a specific one? So come out to pick you up, hurry up, my parents are both at home. ”
Hearing this, Zhou Chao became even more nervous, "Your parents...... What do you mean? ”
"What do you say? What do you think? Liu Yunqing looked at him seriously, and he couldn't see it from his face at all.
Zhou Chao didn't know the bottom of his heart, and said with a smile: "Okay Qingqing, just tell me, what is the attitude of my father-in-law and mother-in-law?" Let me have a bottom in my heart! ”
"Zhou Xiaochao, you stinky and shameless, who is your father-in-law and mother-in-law? What's the call? ”
The two didn't say a word, they walked to the door, Liu Yunqing pushed the door in, the family sat neatly on the sofa, looking at the two of them together, Zhou Chao was so frightened that he almost dropped the things in his hand to the ground.
"Uncle, aunt, you have a good New Year, a good New Year!" Zhou Chao said hello.
Everyone in the family stood up to say hello, Liu's mother's attitude was a little better, and the remaining three men all had straight faces, Zhou Chao's heart was up and down, and he hurriedly handed over the things in his hand to Liu's mother.
Mother Liu looked at Zhou Chao and shook her head: "Xiao Zhou, why do you bring so many things, you don't have to be so polite, our family doesn't care about these." ”
"Auntie, it's one thing you don't care, but it's another thing if I don't buy it, the first time I come to the door, if I do something wrong, for the sake of these gifts, you can forgive me for not."
As soon as he said this, the family immediately laughed, and they liked Zhou Chao even more, thinking that the object that their girl was looking for was really good, she knew etiquette, she was good-looking, and she couldn't be annoying when she did things and talked.
Father Liu and Liu Yunqing's two elder brothers looked at Zhou Chao with less terrible eyes at this time, and felt that the pig that arched his own cabbage didn't look so annoying. At least this pig looks good, quite capable, and quite polite.
At noon, Zhou Chao stayed at Liu's house for lunch, and several people at the table took turns to torture him, but fortunately, Zhou Chao answered more decently, and several people seemed to be more satisfied, and finally only said that Zhou Chao should take good care of Liu Yunqing.
After eating, because the two of them still had to catch the train, they didn't stay longer, and the two brothers sent the two to the train station and put the two on the train before going back.
