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

In January 1976, the 24th day of the twelfth lunar month, Zhou Bingyi brought Hao Dongmei back to Jichun from the Corps.

Wang Zhong went to pick him up, not by bicycle, but by bus.

After not going home for six years, Zhou Bingyi and Hao Dongmei were inevitably a little timid about their hometown. After leaving the station and sitting on the bus, they looked here and there all the way. They never stopped talking, and their faces were full of confusion.

There was a smile on the face the whole time, and the hands we held were let go every time.

Arriving in front of the house, Zhou Bingyi looked at Wang Zhong in surprise as he looked at the brand new courtyard gate and the greatly changed courtyard, doors and windows: "Bingkun, did you do all this?"

Wang Zhong carried the luggage: "You have nothing to do, hurry up and stop here. You are thick-skinned and thick-skinned and can withstand this cold weather. My sister-in-law has a delicate body!"

Zhou Bingyi smiled and said: "I know I feel sorry for your sister-in-law. Not bad, not bad. Let's get in the house quickly, get in the house!"

Hao Dongmei felt warm in her heart, her brother-in-law was indeed different when he grew up, and he felt sorry for him.

After six years of not seeing each other, Wang Zhong, this brother-in-law, has changed a lot.

But when I think about it carefully, it seems normal. After all, Wang Zhong is the only man in the old Zhou family now.

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

As soon as the door was opened, a chubby little thing jumped up excitedly with short legs: "Dad! Daddy!"

"Mom! Grandma! Dad is back!" Xiao Congcong, who is more than two years old, can already walk and run, and speaks fluently. For Wang Zhong, a strict father, he is afraid and loves him at the same time. He likes to go to Wang Zhong when nothing happens.

Get around.

"You brat, you're disobedient, why did you run out again!" Wang Zhong first put the salute in his hand on the table, then bent down to pick up the little boy who was holding his legs, and scolded him with a straight face.

"Congcong helps grandma make dumplings." Little Douding's face, clothes, and hands were still stained with flour, and he was dancing and explaining in a hurry, which was very cute.

"Is Congcong so old?" Zhou Bingyi looked at the strong and fat little Zhou Cong with an expression of surprise and joy. Hao Dongmei, who was holding Zhou Bingyi's hand, also looked at Zhou Cong in Wang Zhong's hand with a smile on her face.

.

"This is uncle and aunt, call someone quickly!"

Zhou Cong was a little afraid of strangers. Seeing Zhou Bingyi and Hao Dongmei staring at him, he immediately shrank into Wang Zhong's arms and refused to call anyone.

"This kid is usually very diligent, but I don't know what happened today!" Wang Zhong explained.

Zhou Bingyi and his wife were not at ease: "Children are inevitably a little afraid of strangers. It will be fine once they get familiar with it!"

Li Suhua, who heard the sound, also opened the curtain and walked out, wearing a scarf in front of her body with a lot of flour on it, a rolling pin in her right hand, and a half-rolled dumpling wrapper in her left hand.

"Bingyi! Dongmei!"

"mom!"

When mother and son reunite, they inevitably embrace each other passionately and express their sincere feelings to each other.

"Stop standing here, sit down in the house!" Wang Zhong chatted to the side, and Li Suhua realized it and hurriedly pulled her eldest son and his wife into the house.

Zheng Juan and Guangming, who were pregnant with their big bellies, were both standing at the table with some flour on their hands. On the table were a plate of already-wrapped dumplings, a bowl of pork and cabbage stuffing, and a bowl of leek and egg stuffing.

There is also a stack of rolled out dumpling skins and a small pile of small dough balls.

After greeting each other, Li Suhua took Zhou Bingyi and his wife to sit on the kang. They seemed to have endless things to say. Wang Zhong took over Li Suhua's burden and took over the task of rolling the dough. His proficiency was incomparable.

Li Suhua is slow.

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

"You have just arrived home. It has been a long journey, so just take a rest!"

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

"Dad! Dad! What is an idiom?" Xiao Zhou Cong stood on the small stool beside the table, pulling on Wang Zhong's cotton pants, which were a head higher than the table. He was curious and tight. Due to his age, his memory was limited.

, learning and understanding abilities are limited, but I am very curious about everything.

"Congcong, come to grandma, grandma will tell you!" Li Suhua spread her hands towards Xiao Congcong.

Xiao Zhou Cong tilted his head, looked at Li Suhua, and then at Zhou Bingyi and Hao Dongmei who were sitting opposite Li Suhua. After thinking for a while, he pulled Wang Zhong's cotton trousers down from the small stool and walked toward him with small steps and open hands.

Li Suhua also called grandma to hug her.

Li Suhua hugged the boy onto the kang, took off his shoes, and wiped off the flour on the little boy's body.

"Even though this kid is young and as skinny as a monkey, he is not afraid of me or his mother at all, so he just needs to be honest in front of Bingkun."

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

With Li Suhua around, it didn't take long for little Zhou Cong to get acquainted with the uncle and aunt he had just met. The little guy couldn't rest, especially once he got acquainted, he would grab a few melon seeds, a few peanuts, etc.

A few dried dates were given to grandma, aunt, and uncle.

In Wang Zhong's words: This boy is accustomed to acting coquettishly to please his elders. He will definitely be a smart guy when he grows up.

After a while, he followed Wang Zhong's usual behavior and put the melon seeds in his mouth and knocked them. Then he stuffed the melon seeds with saliva, melon seed skins and melon seed kernels into Hao Dongmei's hand, shouting "Auntie, eat it, Auntie eat it."

It made several adults dumbfounded.

However, there was a boy called Zhou Cong who was running around among the three of them. He was having a great time, and the smiles of the three adults never stopped.

In the evening, Wang Zhong originally wanted to take Zheng Juan, He Guangming and Zhou Cong back to Taiping Hutong and let Zhou Bingyi and Hao Dongmei have the back room, but Zhou Bingyi said that he hadn't been home for a long time and had a lot to say to Li Suhua, so he and Hao Dongmei followed.

Li Suhua can just sleep in the outer room.

Wang Zhong didn't object for a second and asked Guangming to move to the back room to sleep with the couple. It wouldn't be too late to talk about returning to Taiping Hutong until Zhou Zhigang got home.

But the little guy was very noisy and clamored to sleep with his beautiful aunt at night.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Hao Dongmei also liked this little guy very much, and nervously asked Wang Zhong and Zheng Juan for their opinions.

Wang Zhong and Zheng Juan naturally don't mind! But Zheng Juan is a little embarrassed: "This boy is not used 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 it me?" Li Suhua saw that Hao Dongmei liked her eldest grandson. It was too late to be happy, so she immediately patted her chest and assured her.

Not to mention, when it comes to raising children, even Zheng Juan, who has always been capable, is not as skilled as Li Suhua, let alone a newbie like Hao Dongmei.

Hao Dongmei also hurriedly said: "Don't worry, brothers and sisters, it's normal for children to urinate on the bed." She really liked looking at the lively and cute Zhou Cong from the bottom of her heart.

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 full of energy, running, jumping, and rolling on the kang. After getting acquainted with Hao Dongmei, a beautiful aunt, she became close to her. The smile on Hao Dongmei's face never broke, and her eyes never left Congcong.

When Li Suhua saw that Hao Dongmei liked Congcong so much, she felt very happy.

She even began to long for the situation when Hao Dongmei would give her several grandsons.

"Congcong is only two years old this year, right? With this body and head, he looks similar to other people's three or four-year-old children." Zhou Bingyi also likes Zhou Cong very much. Hao Dongmei is infertile, and the couple is destined to be unable to have children.

, Zhou Cong is now the only bloodline of the third generation of the old Zhou family.

Li Suhua said with a smile on her face: "I don't know where this child's appetite comes from. He eats more in one meal than other four or five-year-old children. He especially likes to eat meat."

"Juan'er also feeds him egg custard, milk, and malted milk every day. Bingkun also lets him run around, saying that eating well and exercising more will make him grow faster and stay healthy."

Wang Zhong's monthly income is not low, otherwise, ordinary people's homes would not be able to withstand such a situation.

The child was full of energy, but after being noisy for a while, he was exhausted. He began to feel sleepy and yawned profusely. Hao Dongmei gently coaxed the child to fall asleep, with a motherly smile on her face and her eyes filled with care.
